How old are you? Above 26?

[cloud quiver]

Below 🤣

[orchid dome]

That’s what I thought

You must have joined THM quite early for all the progress

Did you go for bachelors?

[cloud quiver]

No , there's no cysec uni in my country

[sturdy pike]

Thank you!

Brooo... whaaa

[main tiger]

There are quite a few young users who are talented below the age of 20. I honestly do not know how they learn so fast.

[sturdy pike]

Noted, I should'nt have played games and given in to distractions or I'd be like the people here

[orchid dome]

Then whats your journey going to be? Like alternative? You could have gone for CSE

[main tiger]

Pretty sure szymex was 16 or something during the early days of THM and he used to blood a lot of boxes, from what I have heard

[sick lance]

Age is irrelevant. 😄

[cloud quiver]

I have a few certs although not security related

[orchid dome]

You accepted my connection request on LinkedIn so I know about

I was like “Damn, this guy is young”

[orchid dome]

So I was gonna ask which branch should I go for in my bachelors

My goal is exploit dev but after becoming proficient in penetration testing

[sand trench]

NOT FOR EVERYTHING

[sick lance]

Assuming people take from context of the conversation and apply that logic to the conversation...

[sturdy pike]

I'm just not in the mood today lmao

I just stated that its impressive at a younger age to accomplish a lot of things that a lot of people could probably not do at that age.

[orchid dome]

💯

Youngest OSCE3 holder is 19 😀

[main tiger]

yep that is impressive

[sick lance]

I should maybe keep quiet about some of the stuff I was doing around that age...

Reminds me of that meme, every ethical hacker was once ….

Nvm

[main tiger]

@torn spindle u got every defensive cert now 🤣?

[torn spindle]

nah

CDSA is on the list

and i don't have CCD and BTL1 yet

[main tiger]

then giac?

[orchid dome]

Lol

[sturdy pike]

Planning for it, is it good?

[torn spindle]

yes

[torn spindle]

depend, if i got a sponsor then sure

[torn spindle]

yes, their modules are gem

[orchid dome]

Those are not worth the money, like even if I sell kidneys of whole neighbourhood, I won’t be able to get them all

[sturdy pike]

I'll be doing it once I'm on a good skill level here
Nice to see you're a friend of Killswitch

[torn spindle]

I befriended with him on BTLO since I'm community heroes there

[torn spindle]

definitely recommended Windows attack & defend and both splunk modules in SOC analyst path

[sturdy pike]

Damn that's great, is he one too?

[torn spindle]

the logic and all queries you got there will definitely help you in a lot in the future

he is not, just play BTLO for fun i guess

[sturdy pike]

my plan is to complete the already made paths first then shift to rooms

[torn spindle]

there are no rooms to practice for CDSA yet but you can go for Sherlocks

[sturdy pike]

Oh I see

[torn spindle]

put these logs in splunk or ELK

or even practice with THM rooms that has splunk and ELK

these are gems too

[sturdy pike]

So sherlocks, splunk or ELK

[sturdy pike]

noted, I'll be doing that then, thanks!

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @torn spindle (current: #2707 - 1)

[torn spindle]

Good luck with your exam

[sturdy pike]

Sure thing, thank you!

[sturdy pike]

done

[gleaming grove]

Fire up my desktop after awhile..... All the updates. Bogging down my CPU

[blazing granite]

are you using arc?

[boreal scarab]

Doesn't help when my AV is also doing it's normal scan

[boreal scarab]

It's windows 10, nope

[blazing granite]

that's the reason of the bogging then 😂

[boreal scarab]

Does it help when I have a CPU intensive game running, and also updating like 10 apps at once, while an AV scan is going on?

[subtle shore]

yo can someone tell me how to read .class files?

[wary ocean]

you try catting it?

[subtle shore]

it is just jibberish

[whole yew]

do you know what is in a .class file?

[subtle shore]

Java file of some sorts

[whole yew]

it's not gibberish, it's just not human readable.

Right, but how is a .class file created? Knowing this will give you a starting point to investigate it.

[subtle shore]

No not really

[whole yew]

If I just tell you what it is, you are losing out on learning the process of how to figure this out on your own

[wary ocean]

theres a forum on reddit and stack overflow if its ok to send in general chat

[drowsy dust]

javap -c filename.class

[subtle shore]

Yeah I am googling now

[subtle shore]

I tried that I thought that it was not giving me the full source of the class file because there are like comments and it seems like only few options

But maybe it is all to those files

[chilly veldt]

Juun, i took my FOR508 test/practice exam today

[whole yew]

how was it?

[drowsy dust]

im not that familiar with Java so I hope you find what you are looking for

[subtle shore]

I hope I will, maybe I am not looking at the right path

[opal crater]

Hello everyone I'm new sorry but my English is bad I'm French

[sturdy pike]

Can't understand much in the metasploit room

should I sleep or is it intended like that?

[whole yew]

How could you know, if you don't know what goes into that kind of file? I recommend you find the actual Java docs and start reading the original reference material.

Once you understand how a .class is created, and why, your question will be easily answered.

[drowsy dust]

You're English is very good dont worry :)

[opal crater]

Thank you

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @drowsy dust (current: #154 - 52)

[chilly veldt]

It was pretty chill, I accidentally stressed myself so I began overthinking, especially due to you getting an answer for the questions as soon as you move to the next one
I didn't have proper notes as I don't have the course material due to just getting the practice exam from someone who didn't need one

Scored 62% on it, meaning I didn't pass, but still got a lot better score than what I thought

[whole yew]

At least you have a good grasp on 1 area, just need to do a lot of study on volatile events.

[main tiger]

u done HTB sherlocks before?

[chilly veldt]

Yeah, I only studied what I could find from the syllabus, so lots of things that I hadn't seen before, and also a couple of questions I second guessed myself on, due to not having notes

[chilly veldt]

Nope, haven't looked at it

[whole yew]

Volatile analysis is tough. I'm pretty sure I would need to study pretty hard to pass that exam.

[boreal scarab]

My desktop is all updated. I am now happy

[chilly veldt]

It was also some deep technical knowledge that you got questioned on in terms of volatile analysis, and some questions had double answers, which would only be known if you had studied the course

[whole yew]

was it multiple choice?

[main tiger]

I was speaking to a guy on HTB who did GIAC certs and he said the HTB sherlocks hard and insane boxes are harder than the giac certs. So if u able to do those then the giac certs become easy. A HTB medium sherlock probably the same level

[whole yew]

because then it's a question of picking the 'most right' which is obnoxious, but it does demonstrate expertise

[chilly veldt]

Yup 77 mp questions and then 5 analysis work

[sand trench]

mmmmm chocolate foam banana

[clear jackal]

Harder than which certifications? GIAC offers an extremely wide range of certifications across multiple disciplines. Are you specifically talking about GPEN?

[quick ridge]

Don’t worry @tame abyss, Scrubz might not approve but I gotchu bro

||I’m kidding don’t ban me||

[boreal scarab]

I can speak for all Education IT Techs. DO NOT DO THIS!

1. Your School's IT department will know, and will be mad.
2. You signed a contract to not mess with those devices
3. Even if it's assigned to you for those years you're at the school, IT IS NOT YOURS. Which means, don't you dare even drop that thing.

[idle mica]

I don't know that a child is old enough to legally enter a binding contract

[boreal scarab]

They sign it, and their parents sign it

[idle mica]

Unless you mean their parents

[clear jackal]

School is different in that it's not a contract per say, but you're still signing documents as a student and can get in trouble for violating terms.

[boreal scarab]

Ahh, always nice to have an updated computer, did some spring cleaning of programs too 😄

[idle mica]

Sure, but when you say "sign a contract", that generally implies a legally binding contract, which is why I asked lol

[clear jackal]

You are technically entering a forced contract

[boreal scarab]

Some random school's contract if ya wanna take a look: https://ideapublicschools.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Student-Technology-Use-Agreement-ENGLISH.pdf

[clear jackal]

A contract is really just terms between parties

[boreal scarab]

Both Student and Parent sign

[idle mica]

If a minor has authorization from their guardian, then yeah it's enforceable. Otherwise they're generally not lol

At least on the legal level. Between two private parties (ie, the school and the minor), they can do whatever they want

hey guys a general question, i have just completed the windows and ad fundamentals, should i learn more on my own or is it okay just to stick to the knowlege i have gained from these rooms?

[half relic]

i never got a laptop in school

[thorn scaffold]

will the later AD rooms be sufficient?

[half relic]

we actually had typewriters for typing class

that's how old i am

that and the school didnt' get much funding lol

[thorn scaffold]

we used tablets, stone ones

[half relic]

lol

[shell bluff]

yea, im a senior in hs and we get macbooks but thats cuz it comes with tuition but public schools ik get those crappy lenovo ones

or ipads yeah

[half relic]

i actually like lenovos

easy to fix

[shell bluff]

nah the quality is lowk ass tho

what like using MFTcmd ?

and MFTexplorer?

Yeah and with TimeLineExploree

[shell peak]

are there any popular nikto alternatives for reconnaissance ?

[main tiger]

I am not sure on THM there is, but I could be wrong . But there is defo some challenges on HTB sherlocks for those

what do you want to use it for

and kali on another one

[thorn scaffold]

oh damn that is dirt cheap

[half relic]

its tiny but its fine to use just for kali

if ou are crazy and are using dedicated hardware liek me lol

[thorn scaffold]

it does not bug out when running scripts/scans?

[half relic]

not so far

[static perch]

So how do I read file content or analyse file inside MFT ?

[main tiger]

there is a youtube channel called 13cubed, if u watch that they will walk u throught it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qElVZJqlGY

a lot of the forensics I learnt is from 13cubed despite me not being a fan of forensics 😅

[static perch]

But they also uses TimeLineExplorer
I am able to tun MFTECmd but not this TimeLine one

[main tiger]

they cover that in their vids as well

will be under a different video

Timeline explorer is easy, all you need to do is run this command: .\EvtxECmd.exe -f '[Insert file path to evtx file]' --csv '[Insert output path]' --csvf sysmon.csv (example command) and then open it in timeline explorer

[static perch]

But I am not able to run TimeLineExplorer in my windows

[main tiger]

u need to install it from eric zimmerman tools site

no you were just a kid

same thing

[sinful moon]

I used to think that the movie theater sent us every movie on VHS because we always had it after I saw it in theaters

So once we watched a bad movie in the theaters, I was like, Mommy, why didn’t the theater send us Batman Forever?

[sinful moon]

lol hun it doesn’t work that way and it was a bad movie

[boreal scarab]

Stop making me feel old!

[mossy river]

Most people would be 1/3 through their life, it isn't that long ago 😆

[sinful moon]

There’s nothing technically incorrect with saying so but in the later half of the 1900s, or someething a bit more exact than 100 years would help

[shell bluff]

lowk tho i dont think ur old old until like 40

[fossil marlin]

Welcome to the champions' board

That's what I meant with my reply (I understood it after reading it a few times though)

[tame abyss]

im talking about the food

Is it like temple os?

[blazing granite]

When I was probably 7 I guess we got a vhs, also we were the first in our family to get a color tv, I remember when I was watching tv in my cousin's house on a sleepover the used to asked me what colour is that 😂

[tame abyss]

why? whats wrong with linux?

[shell bluff]

same what yr

also i didnt even know the gen z range was so big

[fossil marlin]

mfker always getting me in trouble during my ctfs somehow

[tame abyss]

its a codeing thingy

he doesn't want to be more intelligent for my own sake

[blazing granite]

I've heard of that 😂

[fossil marlin]

so i have to fight him a lot

but i hate even more my windows friend

@tame abyss Just ignore, but if you have a question, just ask it

[boreal scarab]

Yeeep

[shell bluff]

nah cap

[boreal scarab]

We're old here

[wooden totem]

I've noticed that chatgpt/LLM has been so abused and misused that a lot of people don't like it, hate it even. While really it's seriously impressive that this technology exists in the technical side

MILLENIAL TALK!

Millenial GANG

[boreal scarab]

wait? lol are you telling me to ignore people or telling people to ignore me?

[shell bluff]

pretty sure my moms a millennial too actually lol

[half relic]

lol

[sinful moon]

lol ignore the naysayers, what is your question

[finite tulip]

I feel older than I actually am lol, or am I just old now

[half relic]

that;s definately possible

but weird

[shell bluff]

idk the age range for it

[half relic]

my kids are still little

[carmine tinsel]

Millennial is 1981-1996

[sinful moon]

but lol chat is moving so fast c:

Humans are never satisfied once they're accomodate to something 😦

[sinful moon]

that’s me

[shell bluff]

I’m NOT little im grown asf 😹🙏

my moms 38

[blazing granite]

you're old 😛

[tame abyss]

im making a website for a guy and im using linux was wondering if anyone wanted to help me

[half relic]

yeah that's why its weird to me

[shell bluff]

well she had me when she was young

[half relic]

its just weird to me cause i can't believe im old enough to have adult childrent technically

im in 12th grade and she had me at 20

I think covid has messed up all our time perception xD

[blazing granite]

@boreal scarab Here I've met somebody who was 62 so I'm officially not the oldest here anymore 😂

[carmine tinsel]

I do a double take every time I remember 2012 kids are now turning 13

[finite tulip]

Soon there is a new gen, gen alpha is almost over

[shell bluff]

the fact that people 10 years younger than me are like

is crazy

[carmine tinsel]

Gen Beta has already started I think

[sinful moon]

Food time, see you all later!

[carmine tinsel]

Cya

[half relic]

i guess its weird for everyone

[carmine tinsel]

Oh yes I could be arguing with someone online and they're still in 3rd grade...

[shell bluff]

yea i just turned 18 and i feel old even

[polar spoke]

it's very cool stuff, it's just constantly touted as something that it's not and the poor understanding of what it can and can't do is basically the main marketing for them

[shell bluff]

since im an adult i gotta talk abt taxes n shit

[tame abyss]

i have trouble getting the code to execute properly and i really prefere not having to send the files into another app just to have to pay for it to be uploaded so really just some help coding would be nice as im reletively new to this stuff

[carmine tinsel]

I am interested in learning in how AI works, but I can't deny I dislike how dumb it's making people

[polar spoke]

they were that dumb before 🙂

[tame abyss]

mmmm same

[shell bluff]

speak for urself dawg im a genius 😂💯

[tame abyss]

true

[polar spoke]

haha

[half relic]

this doesn't sound like it would be something easy to explain in a chat quickly

it takes a long time to program well in a language

Im not even sure which language you are using

[shell bluff]

not for me

[half relic]

PHP?

Python?

[shell bluff]

im kinda a big deal around here

[boreal scarab]

Nah, you're still the most ancient one here

[shell bluff]

ask fluff clan guy

we go way back

are you asking me?

[boreal scarab]

@normal fable Is the runner up, being prehistoric

[half relic]

yeah

sorry

[tame abyss]

linux penguin

[half relic]

there is a lot going on in here

[tame abyss]

no its ok

yeah...

on my school chromebook too

[vast spoke]

Hi

do I have to pay to view the rooms on the site?

[half relic]

some of them

[tame abyss]

good question

[finite tulip]

Not hacking it are you? /s

[gritty fern]

Theres like 200 or something free rooms on it iirc

[blazing granite]

the one that are free no, there are some rooms that are only for subscribers, but around 65 or 70% of the site it's free

[half relic]

sounds like he's hacking in more of a richard stallman way

[tame abyss]

no im making websites (trying anyway) and installing things like steam discord wine bottles ect

[tame abyss]

lol

[vast spoke]

well I did 4 rooms just now from the very beginner tier, and the next one was paywalled, is there a limit on how many rooms you can do per day or the room was just paywalled itself?

[half relic]

you have to use a language though which language are you using

[blazing granite]

richard stallman would never use a chrome book 😂

[gritty fern]

Sounds like your school doesnt know much about cybersecurity if they let you use crosh

[half relic]

if you are serious

lol

that's funny

[tame abyss]

no terminal open it up set up linux the default is penguin

[tame abyss]

oh i am and i have access to dev mode cuz its not locked no clue why

[gritty fern]

Oh i see, still my school would be on someones ass if they booted anything except ChromeOs

[finite tulip]

Schools, they don't always know cybersec lol

[gritty fern]

Technically you cant lock dev mode except in the device settings

[half relic]

I have never attempted to put linux on a chrombook

[tame abyss]

yeah lol usually thts the way it is

[shell bluff]

my tech ppl at school are so dumb 😭💀

[tame abyss]

oh good 2 know lol

[shell bluff]

they literally just watch youtube videos on how to fix shit

[gritty fern]

Wait until you figure out how people learn stuff

[shell bluff]

nah like they dont know anything

they look up it all

[blazing granite]

chromeOS it's a kind of linux 😉

[finite tulip]

I mean, that doesn't necessarily mean they are dumb

[shell bluff]

it does tho

by definition

[half relic]

nothing is wrong with videos i just like text cause it's searchable and scannable

[shell bluff]

nothing wrong but for everything? ☠️

[gritty fern]

Youve never watched a youtube tutorial?

[shell bluff]

theyre grown adults tho

[half relic]

and its easy to reread parts that you want

[shell bluff]

who get paid

to know technology

[finite tulip]

Crazy thing, technology changes

[blazing granite]

that's today's vision I'm watching 2 shitty videos and I'm an expert 😂

[shell bluff]

dawg im in highschool, its not some high level government mission

it’s crappy school networks

[tame abyss]

samsung and apple are so at war they make each other better and we benifit

[shell bluff]

self proclaimed expert u mean

[gritty fern]

Wait until this guy has a 9-5 in IT support

[half relic]

okay that's true that its linux based but i wouldn't call it linux

[tame abyss]

lol im a freshman in highschool

[finite tulip]

Meanwhile I'm out here with a pixel

[rapid merlin]

I’ve had both and still prefer android

[gritty fern]

Apple ecosystem is nice but apple locks everything down too much

[blazing granite]

that's why I didn't 😂

[tame abyss]

yo i love pixels my peice of crap is a $60 BLU

[boreal scarab]

BLU?

[tame abyss]

yeah android is better and a lot of other companies are eisier able to copy samsung than apple so the whole of android advances

that's okay i have a tracfone lol

i dont' spend much on anything

[tame abyss]

mine is powered by trackfone

[half relic]

sorry lol

[tame abyss]

i have black spots on my screen huge cracks a couple peices of missing glass...

it is shit

[half relic]

its actually not bad for how cheap it is though

[tame abyss]

yours or mine?

[half relic]

about $150 for the phone and and $125 a year for unlimited talk and text

mine

tracfone in general

[tame abyss]

ooff im at a free plan and the phone is $60

[rapid merlin]

Yeah

[tame abyss]

it reallly makes tech better overall

[half relic]

if i had more money i'd probably get a pine phone or something where google doesn't own ll my data though

[wooden totem]

phone is phone

[tame abyss]

i tried to make a site called GooseOS that would have been a compleate bypasser of like all restrictions and a web broser searching through duckduck go but as i was using chatgpt to help me when it gave me the entire site as a zip file i gave it to replit and replit cant read binary so after it half destroyed my code it told me "i am unable to read binary"

[tame abyss]

yes but not all phones are created equal

[finite tulip]

Running code directly from chatgpt 😭

[half relic]

yeah i wouldn't do that

you have to pick a language and learn how to write it

[fallen burrow]

this reminds me of that reddit cursor post that had 3 years of work destroyed because of a bug

no backups

lmao

[tame abyss]

hey i started 5 days ago i was coding for the first time 6 days ago

[tame abyss]

yeah.... thats probobly best

[half relic]

It takes a while to learn a language well

[tame abyss]

yeah....

[half relic]

i well because you can probably get stuff to run fast but you can make a mess without learning it fully lol

if that makes sense

[finite tulip]

Hey, don't run code directly from ai!
Multiple reasons, for example, chatgpt importing libraries that give you viruses!

[vast spoke]

what is the best language to learn after python?

[half relic]

that and a lot of it doesn't even do what its supposed to

[fallen burrow]

AI is also trained from code datasets that it most likely didn't get authorization for

same reason you shouldn't generate video or audio from AI

objectively unethical

[finite tulip]

Depends on what you want to do!

[tame abyss]

oh shit ok thanks ill get on youtube right away

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @finite tulip (current: #216 - 36)

[tame abyss]

well you dont have to say that twice

[finite tulip]

Just make sure that that code doesn't give you a virus

[tame abyss]

ok..... how do i do that? 💀

[wooden totem]

manual checking

[half relic]

i don't know if anyone will have anything to say about this but i would say that if you want to have a website up and running with no experience in a very short amoutn of time just use wordpress, but don;t let it get out of date

[vast spoke]

If I want to learn assembly, how many languages should I learn ideally before that?

[half relic]

I honestly can't tell if you are serious though or if you are just trolling us lol

[finite tulip]

Well, assembly is definitely a goal

I don't think I am qualified to tell you anything about learning assembly, just to learn or why?

[half relic]

i would say just learn it if ou want . it doesn't really resemble any high level langagues anyway

what are you going to use it for though?

just curious

[finite tulip]

Modding roller coaster tycoon probably

[half relic]

lol

[vast spoke]

reverse engineering

[half relic]

that makes sesne

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Using-Assembly-Language-with-C.html you can embed it in c

[carmine tinsel]

learning assembly is something I’m going to have to do for my diploma xD

Why am I on this planet just to suffer man

[half relic]

maybe it would makek sense to learn c. I can't even imagine trying to write anything bigger than hello world in assmbler lol

[vast spoke]

is it that hard

[half relic]

it would just take ages

[devout palm]

#1029808187215458354 message

If anyone is interested in reverse engineering ^

[finite tulip]

Damn, @carmine tinsel just noticed you passed me in ranks, congrats!

[half relic]

reverse engineering is really interesting though

[rapid merlin]

Didn’t even know we had this

[half relic]

i used to want to learn how to reverse engineer viruses

[idle mica]

Learning C from the ground up instead of top down might be helpful. I keep coming back to this post https://www.reddit.com/r/C_Programming/comments/10zyicb/comment/j88gr87/

[rapid merlin]

I just wanted to learn to find out where the attack started, which is why I was interested in reverse engineering.

[half relic]

i just thought that the number of jobs you could get reverse engineering viruses by hand must be incredibly tiny and it wasn't worth it lol

[rapid merlin]

I read a lot about criminals because I enjoy justice being dished out. 🤣 I originally wanted to get into cyber to stop them.

[half relic]

i don't really have any strong feelings about aht i just think it's interesting

[rapid merlin]

You say that but usually where the market is low and unsaturated it’s easier

[half relic]

the technology

well the other thing is it would have to be remote since i don't want to move lol

[rapid merlin]

I used to do KDP and it was very popular and so flooded which made it hard to make money

If something is generally less popular it makes it easier to get into

[half relic]

i don't even know where the nearest antivirus company is

nowhere near here

[rapid merlin]

It’s the same for bug bounties. A lot of people goes for the big bounties that all the other big hackers are eating up. Better to go for smaller less popular companies.

[half relic]

that's what i was going to try to do instead but im basically starting over

that's another thing that i thought sounded impossible but a coworker actually got some bounties so now im gonna try

[rapid merlin]

It’s nice to work remote but then all the company security is in your hands

[idle mica]

Maaaan, while not as plentiful as SOC analyst roles, I've meet a few stupidly talented malware analysts who basically lock themselves in a basement, stare at a screen, and make hundreds of thousands of dollars per year 🤣

[half relic]

it would be so fun

no idea if id be that good at it anyway though

[idle mica]

They tend to hiss at strangers and start squealing in the sunlight but they really know their stuff

[idle mica]

Only one way to find out 👀

[rapid merlin]

Hmmm vampires then

Or goblins

👀

[finite tulip]

Smaller companies usually have a higher chance of having some misconfiguration, a missed update or something of the sort while big companies have vulnerabilities based on poor communication between devs working on semi related projects.

[half relic]

that makes sense

[finite tulip]

Not fact btw, my opinion

[rapid merlin]

I remember that story, I think it was google but don’t quote me on that. Where they had been breached because of those electric orbs 😂

I thought that was pretty funny

[finite tulip]

What lol

[rapid merlin]

Let me see if I can find it

I swear I didn’t dream this

[finite tulip]

I was mostly referring to my own experience (flexes meta bounty lol) and what I hear in people talking about their bounties (for example the recent deanom of YouTube channels to their email addresses)

[rapid merlin]

That one

Correct name “plasma globe”

[finite tulip]

So a rubber ducky inside a shell?

[rapid merlin]

I think I remember a few employees falling for it and plugging them into the main computers

[sand trench]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuf1mcYuCaI

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[finite tulip]

I mean I don't know if there were rubber duckies in 2012

[tame abyss]

???

[finite tulip]

I was following up on my previous message, unless toy were walking about shadows message

[sand trench]

the human interface device attack devices??

[tame abyss]

ok

[sand trench]

because yes those existed in 2012

[tame abyss]

im going to pretend i know what you guys are talking about

[finite tulip]

I meant that brand specifically

[rapid merlin]

I’m not even gonna pretend

[sand trench]

2011 is when duckyscript 1.0 released

sooo yeah it is old

[boreal scarab]

Ah, I love the smell of a 3d printer at night

[tame abyss]

lol

[rapid merlin]

I’m not sure of the technicals, I’m just going off what I learnt in the google cyber course

And then ChatGPT said it was that date

So I dunno

[rapid merlin]

But not during the day

[sand trench]

usb rubber duckies are an usb stick that pretends it is a keyboard when you plug it in
when it does this it can type at super human speed to run any command you want it to run on the connected computer

this can be used to load malware

[tame abyss]

im along for the ride i have never touvhed cyber security and i started coding on linux (with no prior experience) like a month ago

[sand trench]

the first version of those got released in 2011

the more recent updated version released in 2022

[rapid merlin]

I saw 0day talking about that in one of his videos

[tame abyss]

oh ive heard of those

[boreal scarab]

@loud marlin How often do you lube your rails?

[rapid merlin]

Well, good luck

Nah you got this

Linux ain’t too bad

[loud marlin]

when i notice they get dirty i clean them first in full then lube

[tame abyss]

ok do you have recomendations for stuff i should do?

[finite tulip]

Important to note that this doesn't mean there weren't these kinds of devices before, they just weren't using the same syntax and not a part of the same project

[loud marlin]

there is rod thread cleaner to print and use some alc and clean then lube

[tame abyss]

https://gointospace.app/

[rapid merlin]

Depends how best you learn

[boreal scarab]

I lube mine every once in awhile. Never have my rails got dirty. But they are always lubed

[tame abyss]

by doing

[sand trench]

technically badusb as a vuln and exploit probably existed before the usb rubber ducky but dunno for how much earlier

[loud marlin]

the dust stuck on rods. the z-axis for most

[boreal scarab]

Lemme bring in someone prehistoric to answer that

thank you!

Which is good vm or dual boot for kali ?

[chilly veldt]

VM

[rapid merlin]

Yes polar bears are actually black

[chilly veldt]

Don't install kali directly on hardware

[boreal scarab]

Help with?

[blazing granite]

bad usb as attack was first reviled at black hat conference in 2014, but probably existed undetected, and exploited way before that

[pseudo egret]

Why ?

[fading ermine]

Nvm

[half relic]

this might sound dumb but why not

[boreal scarab]

@sand trench

[finite tulip]

If it's for thm, multiple reasons

[normal fable]

Matt over here pinging all the peoples

[pseudo egret]

The reasons are

[sinful moon]

Because as the Kali developers themselves say not to. This encourages people to use this less like a tool and more like a regular OS when it’s literally more insecure

[half relic]

i didnt' have room for a vm so i put it directly on a tiny laptop

is that the only reason

[chilly veldt]

It's unstable and can break at any moment, meaning that you have to reinstall it over and over again, it's also insecure, so if you just use it for daily use, it's not good
Using a VM you can just revert back or instantly start up a new one

[sand trench]

huh weird... as thought badusb predated usb rubber ducky

[half relic]

if it breaks ill just format it again lol

[boreal scarab]

If you don't have a spare machine, that you can willy nilly install anything on, don't do bare metal. I have a bare metal Kali laptop, but that's because I can do it, Thank you Support role 😄 Free laptops!

[blazing granite]

@chilly veldt Ramadam Mubarak and Kareem 🙂

i used to get free laptops lol

[fading ermine]

E waste centers or your schools old tech that they might throw away just ask first oor dumpsterdive lol

[boreal scarab]

PS/2 has been actually seen as having better latency when it comes to gaming. Never used it, only heard about it

[half relic]

it would be nice to have snapshots or something tough so i can more quickly return it to a certain state

[pseudo egret]

No

[boreal scarab]

Noooo

[finite tulip]

A fake keyboard could still work though?

[half relic]

lol

[tame abyss]

well thats how i do it and i make cyberdecks and do weird shit w/t tech

[boreal scarab]

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/virtual-machine/ @fading ermine

[sand trench]

yeah as it is directly connected into the cpu and sends interupts

[half relic]

we do have a university near here but they auction all their old stuff off

[sand trench]

technically yes but dunno if someone has implemented it

[fading ermine]

Should I install Kali directly on my pc?

[pseudo egret]

No use vm

[boreal scarab]

USB to PS/2 connector?

[tame abyss]

ahhh too expensive to be worth it

[boreal scarab]

👀

[fading ermine]

What's vn

[sand trench]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[blazing granite]

I used those, but I'm not a gamer 🙂

[sinful moon]

virtual machine

[boreal scarab]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm the smell of melted plastic

[fading ermine]

Ima look it up

[half relic]

you get software like virtualbox that emulates hardware and you can have different os's running on it

[pseudo egret]

You need to either install vmware or virtual box for it

[boreal scarab]

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/virtual-machine/

[blazing granite]

or nachine 😉

[boreal scarab]

Or window's Hypervisor

[sinful moon]

meh

[pseudo egret]

Does it have minimum requirements?

[sinful moon]

miss u Microsoft Virtual PC 2006

[boreal scarab]

Dunno, never used it, it's shit

[half relic]

why did you suggest it then lol

[pseudo egret]

Then why suggest it

Lol

VM software recomendatons vary wildly, but modern ones need hardware accelerated seetings in BIOS which have been in place for decades now

[tame abyss]

i installed steam on my chromebook linux i just need to actually get windows on it which is possible??? depending on who you ask im trying to install wine and ottles on to my linux but bottles wont work and wine is to fragile for steam

[half relic]

you can't

[tame abyss]

linux for example is a VM (i think)

[boreal scarab]

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! PLEASE TELL ME THAT'S NOT A SCHOOL CHROMEBOOK!!!!!

[fading ermine]

Should I get a VM if I want to start hacking?

[half relic]

chrombooks have a different type of processor

[tame abyss]

oh it is lol its a CTL too

[pseudo egret]

Recommended

[sinful moon]

You’re like really pushing what Valve is even intending there

[boreal scarab]

CTL?

Capture the ligma?

[fading ermine]

I don't know what I'm doing

[half relic]

virtual box is pretty easy to use imo

[fading ermine]

What's ligma?

[finite tulip]

I was talking about something similar to a rubber duck, typing something that could do something malicious. I can almost guarantee that someone has done it, for malicious reasons or not, emulating a keyboard seems like a pretty simple idea.

[half relic]

lol

[pseudo egret]

Just go and see some videos on youtube

[tame abyss]

[sinful moon]

lol too noisy here, Imma dip out until I can make a difference

[tame abyss]

lol

[half relic]

they way i did it was i just downloaded virtualbox and tried to see what it does lol

[sand trench]

yeah just the ps2 protocol is whacky and getting it to work correctly is a bit of nightmare fuel on newer computers

[blazing granite]

if you're old enough the only wine that's really worth it, it comes on a bottle 😂 just drink it and enjoy it

[fading ermine]

Best YouTuber that can help me?

[pseudo egret]

You from which country?

[shell bluff]

yall think i can skip pre cyber and cyber 101 if i did the google cybersec course?

[sinful moon]

you laugh, but no reason to scream into the void with all this going on lol.

[tame abyss]

lol not what i mean 🤣

[fading ermine]

I'm not gonna tell you

[boreal scarab]

Stackoverflow, John Hammond, Ryan Montgomery to name a few

[pseudo egret]

Ok i would say cyber mentor if you know English

I personally follow him

[tame abyss]

no i get it but the make a difference part was funny you were helpfull eirlier and contributed a good bit

[blissful snow]

yoo parrot os or windows?

[sinful moon]

lol totally fair just a lot going on

[tame abyss]

lol

GooseOS

[blissful snow]

loll

[tame abyss]

my dead website

[blazing granite]

I never understood the purpose of the software wine. If you're in linux why in hell you want to run things of windows, if you want windows soft, go back to windows

[worn turret]

For

[blissful snow]

ethical hacking

[fading ermine]

What's the difference?

[sinful moon]

I just have mondo VM admin, Linux admin, and more experience personally and professionally, among others

[still hare]

i'm debating swaping to an icloud or proton mail account simply for there "hidemyemail" features or if i wait for the google shielded thing to come out

[half relic]

games

[worn turret]

Parrot

[blissful snow]

not every sure

[half relic]

so yo udont' need windows

[sinful moon]

Yeah it is the games lol

[blissful snow]

The thing was i was thinking about using wsl

i see people use windows not sure why tho

[worn turret]

U could

[half relic]

i used that for a while

[worn turret]

Its just a lil iffy

[tame abyss]

no its so i can download and play steam games that require windows but chrome os is shit for this kind of thing so i use linux penguin and dev mode

[pseudo egret]

The two has there own pros and cons

[blissful snow]

I'm prob end up using it

[sinful moon]

WINE can do plenty more, but for personal rather than professional use it’s the games

[half relic]

i don't really like it

[worn turret]

Sometimes stuff dont work

[finite tulip]

After usb keyboards are now working fully on bios there isn't really any reason to usb PS2 anymore, still many desktops include it curiously enough. Anti headphone jack removal up in desktop pc land

[blissful snow]

most company's use it

[half relic]

and some one liners didnt' work the same

[sinful moon]

with DXVK and more just lovely, especially when packaged as Proton

[blissful snow]

hmm

vm ?

[half relic]

i had some cut off the first few charactgers of output on every line for some reason

[tame abyss]

yeah i was able to get that to work but bottles wont work i dont know how to make it work either

[half relic]

it was really weird and i never figured out why

[tame abyss]

i have the install file tho for linux

[blissful snow]

the first time i used it it was ok

[blissful snow]

distro?

[blazing granite]

I still maintaining my point go to windows, dual boot, vm, but wine soft it's a waste of space

[blissful snow]

wine never worked for me

[tame abyss]

? the bottles install file

[pseudo egret]

Me too

[half relic]

i dont' really have room for that on my laptop

[sinful moon]

then you were all not doing correct research and more

[tame abyss]

im just trying to get Steam to actually work

[sinful moon]

do mind that WINE is one of the core compontents of Proton, and we’ve had a WINE compat wiki for decades now

the wine AppDB

[worn turret]

Yea

[sinful moon]

which you should have checked

[worn turret]

Best strat

[pseudo egret]

I was using kali as dual boot the entire time

[fading ermine]

Do I need to learn networking?

[blissful snow]

so do yall still recommend parrot or nah

[blissful snow]

yes

[tame abyss]

VM : virtual machine

[sinful moon]

yes, critical for infosec

[pseudo egret]

Yes

[tame abyss]

uhh sure parrot

[fading ermine]

How much of it do I need to learn?

[half relic]

its hard to measure that

[sinful moon]

uh as much as you can?

[finite tulip]

I think they are asking what version of linux you are using, which is yk ChromeOS right?

[fading ermine]

All or just the basics?

[blissful snow]

being able to example basic concepts i think

[pseudo egret]

Just go to learning section in thm

[sinful moon]

Just ask again when you understand VLANs and etc

lol

[half relic]

does anyone know everything about anything

[pseudo egret]

All

[fading ermine]

Where?

[sinful moon]

alright brb

[pseudo egret]

In tryhackme.com

[blazing granite]

asking that is a bit like as a human being asking do I need to learn how to walk? 😂

[tame abyss]

i have no clue the version i opened the terminal app set it up and its penguin linux i maxed out my disk space and yeah and yes ChromeOS on a school chromebook

[pseudo egret]

Lol

[fading ermine]

Bro I don't know what I'm doing

[finite tulip]

Ahh yes. Penguin linux

[fading ermine]

But I know the basics

[pseudo egret]

Dm me if any doubt
