Gmorning hackers :3

[crystal moss]

Morning!

[safe pine]

Hello

I think i am new here

:3

[near sapphire]

Thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @cloud quiver (current: #1 - 3546)

[fossil merlin]

Time to have a good day at work.

[rapid merlin]

about to run a thm marathon

wish me luck

6/8 hours idk yet..

[polar spoke]

perhaps i dont understand so let me try and clarify, you're assuming that a target is white/black listing HID devices? based on what, the device ID/descriptor?

if your intent is to spoof an HID device, simply look at what's plugged in and use the same ID?

honestly, i'd be pretty surprised if there was anyone putting any real effort into that sort of control

beyond blocking external storage devices or simply disabling external USB sockets, it'd be fairly difficult to implement that at scale and expect it to go over smoothly

many laptops, for example, have their keyboard simply "attached" via USB, though on an internal header

[safe pine]

Hello everyone!

I forgot if i greeted tbh

https://tenor.com/view/verified-george-mason-georgemasontv-official-account-authentic-gif-18620886

OH MY WE HAVE NEW ROLES ?

Its been a very very long time since i joined....2 maybe 3 years now.

(I forgot my original acc password tbh)

[polar spoke]

use a password manager

[safe pine]

I have a notebook where i used to write my passwords.

[polar spoke]

fair enough, that's good too

[safe pine]

OH THERE IS DARKMODE TOO!?

Tight Tight Tight

[orchid dome]

When was the last time you were here? Before COVID? 💀

[cloud quiver]

Dark mode is relatively new feature on THM

[orchid dome]

I thought he was talking about Discord

[orchid dome]

Came right after AOC2024 🤔

[cloud quiver]

Yeah , near the end on AOC2024 ,on Dec 23rd 🙂

[upper knoll]

@sick lance

that actually just tried to open on my pc

without me clicking on it

jesus

[orchid dome]

It looked genuine 💀

[dark mason]

My phone is fucked

[upper knoll]

nah the link had something sus at the end

like hijacker

[dark mason]

I dropped it in water

Now I can't charge it

[orchid dome]

iPhone?

[dawn grove]

One time use phone now

[orchid dome]

Just let it dry

[dark mason]

Android

[dawn grove]

Put it in rice bro

[orchid dome]

Ahh, can’t say for sure then😆

[orchid dome]

Best bet

[dark mason]

Horrible idea

[orchid dome]

No

That works

[dark mason]

Depends on what type of rice

It either does nothing

[orchid dome]

Yeah raw….

Not boiled one

😭

[dark mason]

Or more rice gets into the charging port

Then you are 100% fucked

[dawn grove]

Risotto

[dark mason]

I wanna become g r e e n

But I can't study this week

[pliant onyx]

Then you'll be green, just not this week

Which is fine

[polar spoke]

there are many greens

some better than others 🙂

[upper knoll]

green army unite!

[dark mason]

I am participating in the ROCSC this week

Qualification phase

[dawn grove]

Are we talking about za?

[dark mason]

Hopefully I will do smth

[dark mason]

NO

[dawn grove]

Damn

[dark mason]

[celest torrent]

What's crackin', hackers?

[thorny prawn]

The hash

[chilly veldt]

my brain

[safe pine]

i think around 2020

[chilly veldt]

I feel like I will regret this, need to ask our senior if I could get read access to our codebase so I can make some code for it, meaning I would have to develop php 🙃

[upper knoll]

oooof

gl with that

[chilly veldt]

it's fine

I just hate php

[dark mason]

Php good

[upper knoll]

Php is useful I don’t like it

[chilly veldt]

php is no thanks

[onyx oar]

people just love to hate on php

and JS too

[chilly veldt]

I have written enough php to hate it

[onyx oar]

sometimes when you turn something fun into a job you tend to hate it

[chilly veldt]

I've never written php for work

[celest torrent]

'PHP' and 'fun' should never be in the same sentence

Feb 27, 2025, 12:44 PM

[pliant onyx]

You'll need to be verified to post embedded content

[onyx oar]

I see

[pliant onyx]

You can follow what kyootyBella said

[sick lance]

I don't think that's their name...

[onyx oar]

I'm verified

[twin cipher]

Tam knew what he meant tho

[onyx oar]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-hippy-gif-4959442

[pliant onyx]

💀

My bad

I always pronounced it that cause I thought it rhymed

[sick lance]

And they could feel awkward with that name.

Which is something we don't want. 😄

[neon prism]

https://tenor.com/view/hack-pc-guy-fawkes-hacker-gif-17047231

[sick lance]

Irrelevant. 😄

[mossy river]

It’s important to make sure that messages aren’t making community members uncomfortable, which it did in this case hence why a moderator intervened 🙂

[pliant onyx]

Agreed

[twin cipher]

makes sense ig

[upper knoll]

So that what we having for lunch today?

I slow roasted a gamon joint in honey and I’m having some cheesy chips with it

[chilly veldt]

brownies

cause it's thursday

[rapid merlin]

I'm making chocolate cake

[upper knoll]

Ooo I love brownies

[rapid merlin]

I can't disclose the occasion however it's important!

[chilly veldt]

your most hated coworker got fired?

[rapid merlin]

How did you know?

common issue I suppose

[chilly veldt]

what else do you celebrate with chocolate cake?

[rapid merlin]

successfully implementing security policies into a system or network to defend it from cyber attacks!

It's just reinforcement learning ifykyk

research natural language processing! it's a very interesting subject, you can find a lot of insights into how we gather, and analyze information. Especially Store it for long term recall.

[high mulch]

has anyone used "Island" Browser? Any opinion if so?

[sturdy pike]

Ah, oops!

Good Day Everyone

[tropic ice]

hey hey 👋

[crude stump]

Hi

[robust oyster]

Based on standard practice for threat vector reduction and both internal and external threats and social engineering (referring you to film 'BlackHat') I was curious because in that reception scene if not sufficiently deployed as an autonomous chain, the exploit is successful.

[cosmic pendant]

What

Can you rephrase that?

[robust oyster]

But also from a pentest perspective how would an redteamer enumerate the current granular ecosystem remotely to construct threat modelling attack boxes

[cosmic pendant]

OSINt, job listings

That's what was done for the SolarWinds hack

[robust oyster]

💝 pertaining to the non networked hotpluggable nodes (flash drives, external SSD, mice, etc)

[cosmic pendant]

i meanj...... depending on the enviorment you can just walk in and look around.

go the local coffeeshop and see what people have in their laptops

[robust oyster]

No I get that, but you don't wanna get caught doing that

[cosmic pendant]

Yeah, but depending on the enviorment it isn't a big deal

[robust oyster]

Also that is a significant amount of extra work for the red teamer involved in social engineering and passive recon

It is a big deal in a secure environment such as DoD

For example

[cosmic pendant]

if it's red team, instead of a pentest it doen't matter so much eh?

That's sort of the difference

if it's in scope....

I won't talk about those types of enviorments 😄

[robust oyster]

Yeah but the recon phase is part of penetration testing, as is social engineering and physical tactical access / assault

I think we should halt the conversation there

😬

[cosmic pendant]

If you're ever in that situation, you'll be with someone that knows what to do 🙂

[robust oyster]

😊

[cedar swan]

cuties

[cosmic pendant]

I will say that my company does do planning like that 🙂

[robust oyster]

NDA man, NDA!

[cosmic pendant]

You're pretty silly

[robust oyster]

I know walks away hanging head in shame

[cosmic pendant]

shame, what's that? 😄 😄

[robust oyster]

No idea!

I saw it in a film once

Anyways GTG C|CT is static on my browser and calling me back! Peace out 01 x x

[cosmic pendant]

what's what?

[sick lance]

Random abbreviations

[pliant onyx]

Anyways gotta-go C|CT is static...

[idle mica]

my dtq and fugulated Q-spec is all out of whack this morning

https://tenor.com/view/encabulator-chrysler-technical-technobabble-mechanic-gif-27580542

[pliant onyx]

Yes but the anatomisation of the disassembler in the static sphere of Croasia is definitely discussable

[idle mica]

Whoa whoa whoa... on a Thursday???

[pliant onyx]

Affects the market cap drastically, I'm afraid

[low blaze]

hey anybody got an physical image of SAL1 cert?

[pliant onyx]

like, a printout?

[low blaze]

i mean yes

like they've metioned "A physical cert sent to you" so just wanted to know if anybody got that or not

yer

[sick lance]

Not yet

[low blaze]

ohh

[sick lance]

They're still working things out with a supplier.

[low blaze]

and that comes under the same pricing mentioned or we had to pay more, any idea about that one

[sick lance]

I'm not sure.

I asked,. It did not get an answer.

[chilly veldt]

Confirmed I'm going to China

So lots of travels for me

[pliant onyx]

That's a good thing, right

Exciting stuff I hope?

[chilly veldt]

Yeah, means I am in china for a week doing fun stuff, then in Italy for half a week doing competition

[pliant onyx]

Awesome

Hope you do well in both competitions and shenanigans

[chilly veldt]

Yeah, I'll be so dead though lmao

[pliant onyx]

Worth it defi

Lots of time to resurrect after you're done enjoying and competing

[oblique furnace]

[chilly veldt]

good way to leak your name

[oblique furnace]

@pliant onyx Thank you!!!

[pliant onyx]

Np

[idle mica]

Have you traveled there before? If not, expect your laptop to be imaged, so take a loaner if necessary

[pliant onyx]

Damn

[chilly veldt]

I haven't, but I am indeed bringing a brand new laptop with nixos on it

[polar shale]

Sup alpha

[chilly veldt]

or tails

[polar shale]

Why tails just very privacy focused ?

[chilly veldt]

cause then I have only certain things laying on it, and the rest I can add afterwards when I have landed in china

[polar shale]

yea, i guess i didn't consider their network conditions over there lol

[tame geyser]

Hey question do yall know any blender servers?

[blissful snow]

hi

[idle mica]

Gigabrain move. It's awkward when they barge into your hotel room and start capturing forensic images of your shit right in front of you or when you leave the room

"Hmmm I distinctly remember placing these books on top of the laptop in a different order" 🤣

[mellow narwhal]

They do that? crazy

[ebon gorge]

Anyone here reported security issues to ct.gov before and if so how long did they generally take to respond

[mellow narwhal]

Are they on Bugcrowd or something?

[ebon gorge]

Nope, only method I found has been a direct email to them

[mellow narwhal]

No idea then

[torn rapids]

hello guys, im new here and i need to learn something, someone who knos the tor and deppweb can help ?

[mellow narwhal]

with what?

[torn rapids]

i cant found some content on internet teach how to enjoy communits and foruns on darkweeb, can you recommend me ?

[mellow narwhal]

uh

what do you mean by enjoy

[torn rapids]

to talk, share knowlegement, learn

with freedom and safety

[dark mason]

I don't think we can help you with anything related to the darkweb nor the onion network

[mossy river]

We can as long as it’s not illegal or unethical

There isn’t anything inherently bad about using the Dark Web, it’s just what you do on it

[mellow narwhal]

You can download Tor and use it as you want

legally of course

[torn rapids]

i just want to learn guys kkkk

i am not asking you to teach me

just recommend some content

[mellow narwhal]

content as in?

[mossy river]

https://tryhackme.com/room/torforbeginners

[mellow narwhal]

you can access anything from the dark web that you can from the normal internet, if privacy is your concern

[mellow narwhal]

I never knew this existed, thanks I'm gonna complete this rn

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #6 - 1500)

[dark mason]

I agree, but it is usually very uncomfortable talking about stuff like this, while it's isn't anything inherently wrong it's very uncomfortable

Take for example the Sakura room

I didn't want to do that darkweb shit

[mellow narwhal]

whats sakura?

a thm room?

[dark mason]

Osint room on thm

[mellow narwhal]

oh, it involves the dark web?

[dark mason]

A bit

[mellow narwhal]

Might check it out later

[mossy river]

Yup of course and that is your preference, I was just clarifying the community rules:)

[mellow narwhal]

I like dark web stuff

Only because its interesting, not because of any other illegal reasons

[dark mason]

The darkweb gets a bad rep

[mossy river]

There are a lot of uses for it which aren’t illegal, it’s just most people associate it negatively because that’s where a lot of crime happens

[dark mason]

It's useful if you are countries like iran

[mossy river]

It’s a similar perception with “Hacking”, it has a bad rep

[dark mason]

I agree

From now on I have say to pentester and hope they don't ask further questions

[mellow narwhal]

Hacking has a sort of 'cool' vibe here

I don't share it of course

but its something ive noticed

like omg im superhuman kind of vibes about it

[mossy river]

Cybersecurity is a better word because it’s used more in the industry and henceforth has a better rep

[mellow narwhal]

Yeah

[dark mason]

My school had a Cybersecurity course!

It included: don't click link
don't trust strangers online

[mossy river]

I do a cybersecurity degree 😄

[dark mason]

Etc

I was disappointed

[mellow narwhal]

Yes my school had the same

[mossy river]

That’s commonly included in most IT courses in the UK

[mellow narwhal]

"What's a cookie" smh

Ours says cybersecurity too, and its just "be safe online, be respectful, dont click on links"

if you're looking to gain real cybersecurity knowledge, its useless

[topaz topaz]

Just wanted to say I'm the latest Balatro addict

I curse the day I joined this server and heard of that damn drug

[mellow narwhal]

@mossy river You've got a new friend! 🤣

[topaz topaz]

This place ain't taking care of its youth!!!

[mossy river]

Literally the match I just had

[mellow narwhal]

If you could bet real money on this game, would you 🤔

Because I know there's a lot of online card games which do primarily that

[dark mason]

I hate gambling with every single part of my soul

I mean, fake money, sure

It's fun

[mossy river]

No

Hi everyone 👋 . I'm not sure if this is the right channel to ask this question, but I didn't see any other channels where this question could be asked. So, I'm currently working my way through the Security 101 path on THM and I recently saw that they have the SAL 1 certification and I'm definitely interested in taking it, eventually of course, as I still have a quite a bit too learn, but my question is, I'm based in South Africa and I'm worried that the certification might not have as much weight as it would in say the UK or USA. Any thoughts or advice regarding this would be greatly appreciated

[barren heart]

alr

[subtle cove]

working now for me

[wispy sphinx]

yup working for me

back to the fields

[fringe quarry]

yup same

[lapis comet]

It became normal after around 9 min of load.

[fringe quarry]

[chilly veldt]

it doesn't have any weight at all right now, it's only been out for 2 days

give it some time and we'll see

[dark mason]

I think it would have as much weight everywhere

Rn it's not worth much because it's new

But it has high chances (imo) it will be worth a lot

Because it's very practical

Someone took the name too seriously and said "bet"

[jovial lily]

I was talking with a red teamer today, and I asked why he chose red teaming over pentesting and he said "to give the blue team palpitations"

[pliant onyx]

YES

THIS IS MY ANSWER (kinda) AS WELL

My answer would have been

"Have you seen mr robot? It's like that, but legal."

[grizzled wing]

using your terminal like a hacker?

[placid bridge]

😭 taking a break from hacking rn

[dark mason]

Why

Hacking is good

Hacking is life

(And possibly pain)

[grizzled wing]

we need breaks but the terminal is always there

[placid bridge]

Just did a AD environment. Recorded myself doing it. I like taking lots of breaks in between

To keep my mind fresh

Like very fresh

😭

[dark mason]

I hate AD so much

[grizzled wing]

hack fresh ™️

[placid bridge]

I love it

[dark mason]

And windows exploitation as a whole tbf

[placid bridge]

I mean everything is easy tbh

[dark mason]

It's easy, sure

But long

[placid bridge]

True true

[dark mason]

Long hours of reading, but it's easy so you remember

[grizzled wing]

true = true or 1 = 1

[placid bridge]

I plan to specialize in AD and Web personally

[dark mason]

You forgot the '

[grizzled wing]

[dark mason]

Me too, I wanna be a red teamer, a long way till there

But very much possible

[placid bridge]

Wya rn? Like what's the process or progreaa

[dark mason]

Web pentesting rn

I can't even get a job (legally)

[placid bridge]

Shit I seen u somewhere before I think offsec server

Did u get ur oscp?

[dark mason]

Linux: linpeas and pray

And check logs (optional)

I hate having to be creative

But it's necessary

That why I hate priv esc

[placid bridge]

I had a job interview

As a IT analyst 😂

Did terrible

It's weird how one interview is amazing and the next is complete shit

[dark mason]

I hate the oscp

Expensive as fuck

Oh

Then it's ok

The htb CWEE is amazing tho

Especially for students

[molten sky]

pretty sure you wait til i'm asleep or away to ping me now

[dark mason]

From what I have heard

If u take rhe cwee

You can easily pass the oscp

I am not

I am just saying what a friend said

That took both

[hearty gull]

Hello, thought to ask this i painted a picture of i think how it is but when it comes to quant computing how does the alphabet get affected cause now the numbers just go to 64 bytes then the alphabet starts and other special symbols like (!, #, ")... etc. (What i've heard from my teacher) but how will this be grounded since there are so much more space and so much more things going on in quant computing and will we even use this for writing or will we just do maths & cryptography, encryptions on quantum computers. I have never discussed this topic before so please if you've an answear explain a little more simpler (if possible)

I may have understood the whole concept wrong this is my first time asking a question like this so may not have formulated my self the best neither.

[broken horizon]

sup

[vague dragon]

sup

anyone know how to make my pfp like the background same as the chat backgrounds

[grizzled wing]

transparent png

[mellow narwhal]

Are you asking how quantum computers can break cryptography more easily than regular ones?

[broken horizon]

use color picker and add same color from chat to ur pfp

[mossy river]

That won’t work on lightmode^

[hearty gull]

No that i do understand as it could iterate between more numbers more effectively as i have understood it but i mean how will the alphabet be layed out and how will it work since there are so many more numbers it could iterate through?

[mossy river]

Try this -> https://www.canva.com/features/transparent-background/

It's really easy if you have photoshop

[hearty gull]

Who even uses that

[vague dragon]

i used png bfr and it worked but i lost the old picture

[grizzled wing]

i answered your query

[vague dragon]

yes thanx so mush

[broken horizon]

tried just now on nitro theme and fcked my eyes

[mossy river]

Quite a lot of people, lightmode was just an example however.

It also won't work when the colour is different, i.e. when you open their profile, the background color changes so it looks funny

[hearty gull]

Same as vscode light mode just hurts your eyes and gives you a headache

[mossy river]

Turn the lights on in your room, it won't hurt your eyes as much, if it does, turn the brightness down on your screen 😆

[broken horizon]

screen is oled so i prefer darker than black hole

[mellow narwhal]

It sort of iterates through two states more than once. I don't claim to know much about quantum crypto, but in traditional stuff it goes through binary, like 0 1 0 1

If you know the Schrodinger's Cat paradox, you'll know that things can exist in more than two states at a given point of time, the same can be said for qubits while they iterate through a given range

[grizzled wing]

speaking of VS Code the theme i had used was pulled for malicious activity, so the 2nd time something from VS Code was bad

[mellow narwhal]

this image helps to understand that

people worry that ai will take over jobs, I worry that quantum computers will take over cybersecurity. we are not the same

[grizzled wing]

quantum computing is 4D chess

@mellow narwhal u subbed to HTB?

THM ?

[grizzled wing]

@mossy river can you check out Kaisel's bio ?

[mellow narwhal]

Used to be, but no. It's worth it though

[hearty gull]

Yes it takes up a bigger part of a specific assigned integrer right? but when we are typing the alphabet the computer takes it as for example "A" (65) will they put the alphabet in 0.34 for example and then 0.341 for a lowercase "a" or how will they do that? cause they want to use up as much power or logic as possible.

[mellow narwhal]

Not sure unfortunately, like I said quantum computing is beyond me

[broken horizon]

yeah thats what i thought

[mellow narwhal]

Wdym by put it in 0.34?

[broken horizon]

now what for learning

[mellow narwhal]

are you new?

[mossy river]

@

@vague dragon

[broken horizon]

as far i know its just calculating same possibilities at the same time

[hearty gull]

Since regular computer used today is jumping between 0 and 1 quantom computing can jump between 0 (to) 1 (what my professor has told me)

[mellow narwhal]

yeah something like that

[vague dragon]

lemme see

[mellow narwhal]

it is both 0 and 1 at the same time

[hearty gull]

Meaning they could parse or the transistors use decimals also

[mellow narwhal]

normally you'd check 0 and then 1 or 1 and then 0

not the case with qubits

[hearty gull]

ahhh so its not 0 to 1 its just 0 1 same time?

[broken horizon]

check new Google quantom processor it explains really well

[mellow narwhal]

yes, its both at the same time

thats how it can break modern cryptography easily

[hearty gull]

ah fuck i've completely missunderstood the concept then

[mellow narwhal]

nws mate, if you read the schrodingers cat paradox you might understand more

[vague dragon]

thnx bravo

[mellow narwhal]

its directly related to quantum theory

[broken horizon]

also microsoft also got new chip and it was created in lowest temp on earth

[hearty gull]

thought it could jump between 0 to 1 so it could parse infinite numbers till its so near 1 its 1

[mellow narwhal]

Its in their documentation?

[hearty gull]

Schödingers? or schrodinger

[broken horizon]

on YT there's video of their processor launch

[mossy river]

You can use a DAST tool like Snyk

[sick lance]

Are you here to chat, or just talk shit?

[eager marsh]

A little bit of both

[late shell]

Free ?

[mossy river]

I believe so

[broken horizon]

I'm not using any prohibited things in server and server rules apply in server right?

[sick lance]

Your response will let me know if I should take your seriously or not.

[broken horizon]

think about how many and how fast it'll find exploits and how efficient malicous code it can plant

[twin cipher]

I don't prepare lol

All im saying is that the seasonal model works

Except there's no battlepass

[broken horizon]

yeah but you can choose how much and who to give data like you can use chinese tech in west and western in asia

[glacial cove]

Companies try to screw with technicalities to push AI where it doesn't belong to fetch more telemetry, but it's thankfully only half working and most of them are trying to make local models a thing so that we don't gotta worry about that

[twin cipher]

There is cubes tho

I'm adding you

okieies...will try them

[broken horizon]

added

[eager marsh]

They people like you and me and they ain’t perfect. Some of em make mistakes. And don’t wait around for them to teach you something. Learn it yourself

[broken horizon]

will create new server sometime soon after a CTF event

[eager marsh]

I remember a time where I sucked ass at AD and Web

[thorn scaffold]

Yeah their primary goal is to make money, not teach

[eager marsh]

But I didn’t let that shit influence me, I sat down and learned it.

[eager marsh]

There’s evidence to the contrary but….thanks?

[thorn scaffold]

wut

I said the influencers goal is primarily to make money

[glacial cove]

For context, GNS3 is a networking "Emulator" similar to CISCO's packet tracer, except every machine running on it is in a virtual machine and it has integrations with VmWare, Virtualbox and QEMU.

All the machines show up on a nice network map where you can connect them using Ethernet to hubs and routers, bridge them to your network or isolate them from it, etc

It's a popular option for simulating network setups, with a lot of pre-existing accessible images for routers/firewalls such as CISCO, Juniper, FortiNet, PfSense and more

It also has images for Windows servers and Kali Linux PCs, I'm leveraging it to make an Active Directory lab currently kind of like the Red Team Capstone challenge on THM for fun

[eager marsh]

Adding this to the list

[glacial cove]

Free and open source + available for all platforms

Been a blast using it

[sturdy pike]

That's a really cool home lab idea! I'm saving it

[glacial cove]

It surprisingly is light-weight enough to run on my laptop which is impressive and to note as well, however the bigger you go the more you'll need

Having an AD With 4 windows machines running won't do well on my 16gb of RAM and 8 cores

[sturdy pike]

Try 16GB with 4 cores, my laptop is old, thanks again for this!

i thought you were the user with same name that is on another cyber sec Discord

The only thing I don't like about GNS3 is that it pushes Solar winds software on you.

My exact question

[grizzled wing]

I think so, but you may need around 16gb of RAM and lots of cores.

[tawdry blade]

Will i need to pay or it will be free?

[sick lance]

I did not.

[tawdry blade]

Ok

Thanks anyways

[glacial cove]

Since there's vagrant setup scripts for it on VirtualBox/VMWare, you very much can, granted it won't show all the machines it creates on the neat network layout fully and you'll have to patch that in yourself if you want

[sick lance]

I'll ask again in different channel

[mellow narwhal]

Which one?

[tawdry blade]

SAL1

[mellow narwhal]

I think you need to pay to take the exam?

[sick lance]

The last time I installed it asked for my email to send me "essential solarwinds software"

[mellow narwhal]

Around ~$300 or something

[sick lance]

That's not want they're asking.

[tawdry blade]

So Scrubz can you mention me when you will get an answer ?

It's Solarwinds who created it

Indeed. Well, as long as it's open source and somewhat community driven, I can't complain much

[sinful bobcat]

And after 12 hours straight of CTF, it's time for me to stop here

[shut hawk]

So AV evasion is a huge subject, and there are multiple different generalized techniques

AV meaning Anti-Virus, such as windows defender

But I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to say without going into #advanced-general (advanced categories) territory

[idle mica]

Yeah, it's a tough one, too. Especially sharing knowledge and growing that skill for legitimate and ethical usage without informing unethical individuals

That just says No Access for me. What is it?

https://help.tryhackme.com/en/articles/8671900-discord-what-are-the-advanced-channels

Feb 27, 2025, 6:06 PM

[shut hawk]

Dunno why that did it twice

It's a bit hard to give a brief overview, because there's a lot of aspects to it as stated

[sick lance]

You got OSCP?

[idle mica]

Nawh, I've got GRTP though, if that counts

I might go for it one day, but I just haven't been able to justify it yet

[sick lance]

That's a question for Jabba tbh

[idle mica]

One of my job roles is breach attack simulation, so loaders and AV evasion is something we've been working on recently

[idle mica]

Would it be alright to give him a ping about it?

[shut hawk]

Yeah, Jabba won't mind

[idle mica]

Sweet, thank you!

@mossy river Hey Jabba! For those Advanced Channels, I don't have the OSCP but I do have the GRTP. Does that qualify me? I can send you a DM with my Credly, if you'd like

[shut hawk]

With a red team operation, I'd say no. With a pentest it's a bit different, as you want to cover everything (defense in depth), but the point of a pentest isn't to get boot2root

[idle mica]

I definitely get that. Different configurations and different experiences can be a great way to learn. Especially with the different components of AD. Lots to mess up 🤣

[shut hawk]

OSCP covers AV evasion

[idle mica]

Yeah, I was going to say, you have to evade Defender, right?

[shut hawk]

OSEP most definitely does

[rough dome]

on the exam?

[shut hawk]

Not on the exam I don't believe (I haven't taken it), but the theory course covers it

Can't speak for OSEP

[idle mica]

Aww man. ChatGPT AMSI bypasses would have been funny

Not entirely sure, but it wouldn't surprise me. I know you have to for CRTO. That has been my biggest pain point before taking the exam

[shut hawk]

@pallid lotus does OSEP have AV evasion on the actual exam? or just covered in theory on the course material

[idle mica]

CRTO II definitely focuses more on research and evasion as well

[mossy river]

Currently these are the only roles that give access to the Advanced Channels

[fossil merlin]

Love my fucking job (check out my hakko iron 😎)

[shut hawk]

For infrastructure pentest you are usually whitelisted, but if you manage to get RCE you will definitely stop there and consult with the client about how they want to proceed

[glacial cove]

Reminds me I've just finished my first soldering training class at Uni today 👍

[idle mica]

Damn, guess I better get off my lazy ass and take the CRTO exam I bought 🤣 Rasta gave me grief for buying it right after SEC565/GRTP, so I should be able to get it knocked out fairly quickly

[glacial cove]

Humble beginnings

[fossil merlin]

Also

Haiiiiiii! uwu

[idle mica]

Would I be able to recommend the GRTP cert be added to that or is it just not worth it with Discord's role limit?

[fallow bough]

Hey guys any recommendations on how to get my CEH certification me and my son want to get it but he is 14 can he still take it?

[mossy river]

We aren't accepting new cert roles right now because we have a ton with only one user in - in the past I have said if we have an overwhelming amount of users suggesting one, I will consider it.

SAL1 will give you access to the channel so if you can wait a week, you will get access

[pliant cairn]

Should include oswa

[rough dome]

nepotism-ish

[mossy river]

https://cert.eccouncil.org/certified-ethical-hacker.html

[idle mica]

Very understandable lol. I think my analyst number on GRTP is 201 🤣 200 beat me by about 10 minutes. I have no problem waiting around. Thank you!

[idle mica]

Regardless of opinions about CEH, that's pretty awesome that you're doing it with him!

[pliant cairn]

Bro is winning in life. 🥹

[rough dome]

Roles should be generalized; example: any Offsec cert = or greater than OSCP

[mossy river]

Very big "ish" there - you can thank Discord for my reluctance to add new roles if you could see how many we have 😆

For example, here is how many roles we have on certifications alone https://tryhackme.notion.site/Certification-Roles-17eabddf65c7803882f7dff0aa9a4fbd

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @rough dome (current: #1770 - 2)

[mossy river]

These roles were chosen by my predecessors, I haven't completely reviewed all Discord permissions yet 🙂

[idle mica]

I wish it was easy for y'all to hook into Credly to automatically map and validate roles for certs. I feel bad about bugging people to have mine updated lol

It'd be nice if Discord increased their role limit a bit, too

[boreal scarab]

And today, just been fixing up my resume a lot..... fun stuff

[rough dome]

can also get you advanced access

[idle mica]

ISC2 instantly sends the CISSP to Credly but when you do CCSP based on the passed CISSP, they take 55 billion years

[mossy river]

It's not just about Discord's limit but also the difficulty of managing a server with too many roles 😆

[idle mica]

For real, especially without some sort of automation. Becomes a full time job!

[mossy river]

Don't worry about it ahah, it only takes a few seconds to update.

I'd love to integrate it and make it automatic however

[idle mica]

We're looking into it with Cyber Courses. Once we have our call with Credly, I can let you know what they say if you want. inb4 $8,000/mo

[mossy river]

That would be amazing the idea, not the cost 🤣

I'd hate for my next meeting to be "Can I have $8000 a month"

[idle mica]

"Believe me, it's for a GREAT reason and so worth the money" lol

[eager marsh]

Installing virtualbox inside of vmware feels dirty

[upper minnow]

its probably important to do some blue teaming rooms even if you are aiming for red teaming right

[mossy river]

Yup!

[idle mica]

It's Pearson though, so I can't imagine they'd do any sort of cool stuff like that out of the goodness of their heart

[upper minnow]

think i will start sec engineer path

[eager marsh]

But it's kind of funny

[mossy river]

We call it purple teaming, it's always good to understand what could be blocking you when on a pentest

[idle mica]

That's why some of the best offensive security guys spent a lot of time working as a systems administrator or something in that arena

[eager marsh]

Yeah you could be getting fucked by the edr, it's helpful to understand what's tripping you up

Simon wont shut up about it

[idle mica]

debugging in the studio lmfao

[idle mica]

I'd argue that it is as a technical role. There is plenty of good experience to lean on there. Going into a security-specific role with that will be much easier, imo. Something like application security might be a doable jump

[upper minnow]

if i dont get laid off first ☠️

[idle mica]

At least compared to jumping into a role from zero

[upper minnow]

all my work friends got the axe

[idle mica]

ohhhhhh shit, I'm sorry to hear that 😭

[eager marsh]

Software engineers should care about security. It's because of their shitty code that i'm able to get in the first place

[upper minnow]

we have a vscode extension that points out our security flaws

[wary ocean]

when teams doesnt notify you so you call IT and everyone stands around like this

[upper minnow]

snyk i think

[eager marsh]

You shouldnt rely on that!

[upper minnow]

its company policy

[idle mica]

Snyk can only go so far, though. It can't identify complex logic flaws or other things that can be identified by a human tester

[wary ocean]

its still good to point out some off the rip

[idle mica]

I'm about to do an assessment and was told "yeahh Snyk is lighting up like a Christmas tree", so now I'm wondering what else I'll find 🙃

[eager marsh]

snyk is a thing and people still get hacked

[idle mica]

A lot of places seem to take those tools and rely too much on them. They are helpful and have their place, but what kills them is the overreliance and being comfortable that the XYZ tool says "all good"

I actually just read a really interesting article about it from Forbes, surprisingly

https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbestechcouncil/2023/12/21/building-a-secure-foundation-embracing-best-practices-for-coding/

Obviously there is some nuance and context around shipping code with known vulnerabilities, but it is still eyebrow raising

[upper minnow]

its just... im a software engineer mostly in name, cos most of my experience has been making dashboards

[quaint falcon]

10k points finally 🥳

[upper minnow]

so didnt have that much contact with coding except for scripts for automation

[cloud quiver]

Great job , congrats 🙂 🚀

[upper minnow]

i wish thm would let me have more than one path active

i have to change my path every time i wanna do smth from a different path

[chilly veldt]

[main meadow]

[wooden totem]

Virtualbox inside VMware is cursed as fuck

[fossil merlin]

👉👈

[main meadow]

i heard vmware is way better than virtualbox but so far it was not free, maybe time to switch

[cloud quiver]

It should be free now

[cosmic pendant]

Not as much as a difference as there used to be.

[orchid dome]

Would you say CPTS will have the HR craze in the future? I wanna skip the OSCP and instead go for CPTS, both because of cost and resources it comes with.

[sick lance]

@prisma mica no referral links please.

[steady stirrup]

keep it a secret)

[rugged kayak]

[fossil merlin]

@chilly veldt i just did the MrPhisher room and enjoyed your writeup

[versed oar]

Hello guys ,i thought thm's Cyber security 101 course was free?

[cloud quiver]

Majority is

[sick lance]

All paths are free to access, contain subscription content however.

[grizzled wing]

many rooms on THM are free

[versed oar]

But it is asking premium for linux fundamentals part 2

[versed oar]

is skipping those premium contents helds you that back?

[sick lance]

Auto correct 😄

do you know any mobile app, which allows copying nfc tags and using the phone instead of it ?

[vocal gale]

Hi everyone!

[grizzled wing]

i do not , maybe others do 🎱 "check back later"

hello reaper!

[obsidian fable]

I would get a flipper if I knew what it actually did. They sound cool but I'm to inexperienced at the moment with cyber and want to be safe.

[grizzled wing]

flipper is for shenanigans

[obsidian fable]

What type?

[vocal gale]

What's everyone's thought on the SAL1 cert?

[steady stirrup]

do unsafe things and enjoy the life

[vocal gale]

Opening tesla charging ports @boreal scarab

[grizzled wing]

turn off tvs etc

[steady stirrup]

or the doors)

[obsidian fable]

Not for me, for others. I saw Piratesoftwares video on them.

[obsidian fable]

Is that like radio waves and ect.

[grizzled wing]

bluetooth , but yea

[obsidian fable]

Got it, so you can do that stuff and not risk others. That's dope. I might get one then.

[grizzled wing]

have ethical safe fun

[obsidian fable]

Of course

Is that new cerification free to do?
