No, because you might not have completed it.

#

You're still on it.

chilly veldt
#

.... It is though?

sick lance
#

It's the very defiition of a leaderboard. kekw

chilly veldt
#

A leaderboard is always the ones who does better, if that's more points or faster, then it's still the definition of a leaderboard

rapid merlin
#

"does better"

#

everyone has the same score but 1 person.

sick lance
rapid merlin
#

nobody can do better than anyone else at the room,

sick lance
#

Take a look just now, 6-9 can become 6th if they answer first.

#

You might not think it's exciting.

#

The fact even now, I can start the room and still become 6th.

rapid merlin
#

now the real leaderboard makes sense.

#

rooms leaderboard is dumb. idc what you say.

sick lance
#

Ok.

#

You have that narrative. ๐Ÿ˜„

rapid merlin
#

its not a leaderboard if i cant go on there and take #1 spot.

grizzled void
#

That's partly what I'm getting at, I need to sleep as I work full time and rooms are released when I am sleeping. I think a better time statistic would be how long the person took in the room and not if they were one for the first 9 to complete. In theory I could complete a room as fast or faster than some however since I am sleeping I can't participate in the challenge. Now if it was based on amount of time spent in the room and not when you completed it, I think it would improve the leaderboard by giving more people of varying schedules and timezones a chance of being top 9

sick lance
#

You can, just be first.

#

You can't take the #1 spot for 0day right now.

rapid merlin
#

lolo

#

Im talking about room lbs.

#

not world ranking.

sick lance
#

So is that not also pointless?

rapid merlin
#

You can actually gain points and go up the real leaderboard.

#

might not get first but it has a real ppint system that makes sense.

grizzled void
rapid merlin
#

It really isnt but yeah

sick lance
#

The room release will always unfavour somebody.

rapid merlin
#

yup.

#

thats why its stupid.

#

another reason why*

sick lance
#

Take a look at AOC, one of my team mates had to get up at silly o'clock to race for bloods.

rapid merlin
#

getting a reward for being first is cool.

sick lance
#

So you can't please everybody.

It's just up to the person if they want to stop doing x for blood points.

rapid merlin
#

just dont make a room leaderboard.

#

just credit the blood.

open lake
sick lance
#

Cooctas clan.

rapid merlin
#

add a stat on peoples profile if they get bloods.

grizzled void
# sick lance That's outside THM's control.

I understand that, that's why I suggest what I thought would be a better solution to accommodate more players instead of being one for the first 9 to complete in the first hour. I can start it at anytime and if I can complete the room in less time then say the number 6 person, I should be number 6. I also feel like it would help with finding people who are cheating by just entering answers found in write-ups

naive violet
rapid merlin
#

Im talking about rooms that exist already

Then finish it before they're on the internet. ๐Ÿ˜„

Remember Jellyfish?

sick lance
#

In some cases, the writeups pre-date the room release on THM.

rapid merlin
#

im willing to bet $100 that they leak answers to eachother before they even release the rooms to steal blood

#

exactly

Why you so offended by my opinion?

pallid lotus

I'm not, I think it's very naive.

#

Oh my

grizzled void
# pallid lotus Fair enough. I imagine they've gotta have *those* metrics... *surely*

I know they do, if you look at the api for the leaderboard you can see what time questions where answered, I'm not positive if they have one for when people join but they literally would just need to calculate the difference between the two times. So player 6 completed it in 30 minutes within the first hour. This allows me to wake up and get on THM at my normal time (let's say 5 hours later) and complete the room. If I complete it in 29 minutes 52 seconds, that should make me player 6 assuming no one else gotten a better time before me.

@rapid merlin Not approriate.

sick lance

I'm not, it's other members I'm thinking about.

sick lance
#

That's not true.

#

You just like to get a rise from people. ๐Ÿ™‚

pallid lotus
grizzled void
#

sorta rude imo

pallid lotus
#

Justifiably.

#

I have experience with them.

sick lance
#

I don't agree with this with your earlier point.

#

Who's to say you didn't read a writeup to solve the room before user x

#

They've spent x hours doing the room, for you to solve it in 26 min(s) with a writeup.

pallid lotus
near sapphire
#

huh what happened to luigi

sick lance
#

They left.

pallid lotus
#

In theory the idea is sound -- it just increases the period you need to monitor for writeups from an hour to a day.

sick lance
#

Can't police the internet though.

pallid lotus
#

That said, in practice I know first hand how crappy people can be.

sick lance
#

You can ask that a the member who submitted the room to hide their writeups already written.

pallid lotus
#

Ultimately didn't do very much.

sick lance
near sapphire
#

actually i used to find a writeup for last years aoc sq that has the flag but it was recently redacted. Did staff warn that person or did they change it themselved

pallid lotus
near sapphire
#

so they decide to remove the flags themselves. good then for them

sick lance
#

I mean, in this server all really we can do is removal for breaking rules, that doesn't mean they would change the writeup.

pallid lotus
#

This is what we have autogens for

#

To invalidate all write-ups from the very start.

grizzled void
sick lance
#

Obviously the number will fluctuate from time to time.

pallid lotus
#

The issue is that a good autogen is hard to build, and takes a lot of time to get right. It's more than just the code, you also need to make sure that you're not making one instance harder than another.
It's also poorer for learning because you can't use writeups to see the path forward if you get really stuck on something challenging.

#

They're good for competitions at that level of generation, but not much else.

#

Now, dynamic flags on the other hand...

sick lance
#

A bit extreme for some THM rooms.

near sapphire
#

dynamic flags seems to be a good idea

#

but i think i remember someone saying it would be too hard to change all the past rooms

pallid lotus
pallid lotus
sick lance
#

Or was that your blog?

naive violet
near sapphire
#

members attacked muiri's website?

pallid lotus
#

I can also think of a couple of ways it could easily be integrated with THM, but they've never managed that to date.
Would definitely also need to support the legacy method for older rooms.

pallid lotus
sick lance
near sapphire
#

or is it just a poc

grizzled void
pallid lotus
naive violet
#

The core of it is though, THM is not a CTF competition platform.
It's a gamified learning platform

#

The competition people feel is a side effect of gamification

sick lance
#

People forget that.

grizzled void
naive violet
#

See: duolingo

near sapphire
#

i mean aoc sq is competition right? or did i get the memo wrong

sick lance
#

That was, yes.

naive violet
#

Videogames are a different thing

pallid lotus
# near sapphire which ctf/box is this for

I built it for competitions after the last comp box I released was leaked by some douche within about a day and a half of release.

It's only been used once on THM as a PoC. Mainly because I stopped releasing content on THM lmao

rapid merlin
#

@sick lance mind removing my unnecessary warning?

sick lance

#

@mossy river

naive violet

why do you need to remove your warning

Ironically I haven't had the stomach to do any other full-on competition stuff since then. That was a big one -- OSCP voucher prize.

That is true.

near sapphire

isnt 4 years standard

although in scrubz case

Mine was three years

sick lance

My BsC is 3 years, or 4 years with hons.

I did study 3 years of college prior.

near sapphire

Four years is relatively standard in the states as well, though sometimes you can accelerate.

at least compared to my country's

We leave at 17-18 as well

huh i could've sworn there is a country which highschool is 4 years instead of 3

... Our high school is 6 years

owh wait

what do you consider highschool

Heard in some countries high schoolers graduate at 16

Although the English have middle school iirc?

grades 6-12?

#

Secondary school for Scotland, you're free to leave when you're 16, which is normally end of 4th year.

#

Years 5/6 are optional.

pallid lotus
# near sapphire grades 6-12?

For Scotland:
Age 5-ish, you start Primary school. You stay there until you're 11-12 then start secondary school. Minimum of 4 years there -- you can leave at age 16 with low level qualifications, or you can stay for another 1-2 years

#

An undergrad degree is then another 4 years with honours in Scotland

near sapphire
#

in my country its primary secondary highschool then uni

pallid lotus
#

An integrated masters is usually 5 or 6

naive violet
pallid lotus
#

Oh, that explains why I keep getting job applicants on 4 year master degrees though. Huh

near sapphire
#

or is it college

#

i dont quite get the diff between uni and college

pallid lotus
naive violet
#

In the US, they're the same "stage" of education

near sapphire
#

im used to the us definition

pallid lotus
#

College is more likely. They could do Highers at college, or a HND/HNC (basically equivalent level course), then use that as a stepping stone into uni

#

That's quite a common path.

near sapphire
#

so when u graduate college what do u get

#

in terms of diploma

near sapphire
naive violet
#

18

#

At college

near sapphire
#

i took them at year 11,12 which is considered highschool here

naive violet
#

Don't say year, that doesn't line up - say ages

near sapphire

so 17-18, 17 was as levels 18 a levels

watch "Biggest Heist Ever". I don't know how to say it, but just trust me when I say that it is informative. watch 9:17 --> 11:25 (PG 13 movie btw)

So if you ever see someone doing the same thing as the threat actor you know how to take them down (I am not condoning anything unlawful)

Forensically sound workstation? At least 4k, please. Write blocker? Another 1k, not including accessories. Forensic tools? Unless you wanna drop 500$ a year, 3k at least, each.

Anyways if you want to test your mettle against the OWASP Top 10, I can't recommend OWASP BWA enough. It's pretty easy to setup and start testing against.

We should be getting a new Top 10 this year.

Should be.

Not many purple jobs.

What is purple?

I only heard of red and blue

sick lance

Purple is when the red team work with the blue team during an engagment.

dark mason
rapid merlin
#

But

#

A bit of both would be good to know

dark mason
# rapid merlin Blue

In that case I'd say that THM does a great job, just follow the road path it provides and if you want to know a bit of red teaming you should look at OWASP top 10

uhhh guys what do i do about this?

woeful cedar
cloud quiver
rapid merlin
#

what good resources would u recommend to me? i need something like https://pwn.college which are very good at what they r teaching(bin exploitation)

#

stuff like hackthebox or ctf101 only cover either basics or only uses tools

lament tendon
#

HackTHehBox Academy and THM cover a whole lot more then just the basics.

woeful cedar
lament tendon
#

For bin exploitation, maybe, but for network and web hacking both are great resources.

#

There's also the PortSwigger Labs for even more web hacking, also pretty good.

not much you can do, apart from asking THM if they'd manually accept it
