or attack to the power both with morgan freeman
sure !
@vast spoke is it for doom1 ??
12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700K 3.60 GHz
GPU RTX 4070
16gbs of RAM
Am I good?
Yep
meant to reply to this lol
i want to start that too i saw that have a lot of seasons
THM computer advice corner
Fun fact in Elliot's hacking scenes they hired a separate actor to press keys on keyboard due to Rami being a slow typer and not conveying the feeling enough
That should be able to run at least 2 or 3 vms at the same time if theyre not too heavy
I ran doom on my electric tooth brush
woow i did it on my door bell
also fun fact: the show went to DefCon and stated that the hacking was just prerecorded video
It made me anxious and I didn't want to start, but just look at one season, don't think about the number and you'll be fine. After a week I'm at the ending of Season 1 and the episodes are pure gold
Story-wise, character-wise, director-wise
mr robot is only good in season 1
Suits, how to make the most boring career a whole ahh 11 seasons. 
Hahaha I can imagine, two actors switching seats constantly and taking turns typing on the same program would make for an awkward filming session
Noo heavy disagree.. season2 was slow but 3+4 were amazing
i ll give it a look ty ๐ถโ๐ซ๏ธ
Gave +1 Rep to @split ore (current: #1344 - 3)
Im suing you for this
what is in the box
i dont need to watch scenes of people talking about a hack or how to do a hack or when they will do a hack
also strong disagree, for me it was one of the best shows I've seen; that scene ||with Price's death was so memorable||
๐
spoilers bruh
has spolier protection
The show revolves around a lot more than hacking though, and when it does get to hacking it does it well, but I can understand that some might not be so captivated by the other themes it tries to portray
ups sorryh
|| oh you clicked ! you spoiled it ! ||
it was more about eliot himself, some plot twists are mind-bending if you haven't seen ||movies like fightclub||
Anything new you have learnt today
the show is hyped, but glad we are all here to hack
hack the planet '
I finally used steghide in ctf, found out that embedded file was actually an easter egg, but a dead end nonetheless lol

They somehow had to make hacking actually attrative. You gotta do it in enterteinment industry, and they did it well.
I haven't, but mr robot subreddit makes so many comparisons to the point where I know exactly what FCs plot twist is ๐
Nobody wants to watch a person sitting on a desk or a laptop typing stuff. You gotta sell it, and imo Mr. robot did it well.
the poll most have a leak
I watched the movie after rewatching Mr. Robot and I've known from the beginning what was going to happen hah
moving bs green text
character bashing the keyboard as fast as they can
others watching him with interest
"I'm in"
imagine half of Mr. Robot episode is Elliot trying to install Kali or smth xD
It'd be like the Fly episode from Breaking Bad
I really liked it
Even chemistry is boring, and BB made it interesting. I almost forgot why I dropped my chemistry career path 
I guess Suits will have its ups and downs, but so far Season 1 was masterfully crafted
True, same case with Breaking Bad
Donna is great
She won't bait me next time
they should do a hacking series where the main guy is like
and he diagnoses computer and system issues
yeah he goes to work, there is an issue with worker's account, so he sits down and first thing he does is hit a brick wall so he looks it up on google, finds working solution, copy and paste, episode ends
too realistic
ohh that most be sordfish jk
OMG a breach has occurred...
- Updates system *
It kicks the hacker automatically, securing the system.
we most all the IT guy
IT guy: Erhh... did you restart the computer?
Why is bro like this
OR...
A: My computer is not turning on!
B: Did you plug it or did you push the turn on button?
(this happened to me this morning)
I simply looked away. 
I personally foreplay my computer to turn it on
@high mulch https://bofh.bjash.com/
And in light mode
that is funny story of it tec the tell them trust me its fun
I wish he was my doctor
he is curing death
he goes from Kali
to Mint later seasons
night all have to sleep soo i can learn more see ya all
i like Dr House as well
despite being so unreal
I love house
my friends showed me always sunny in philadelphia and its so good
Facial expressions are awesome

Someone took my package. Now everyone wifi is getting turned off till itโs returned.
Iโve had enough. ๐
Or maybe go door to door instead of committing a crime
Iโm kidding idek how to do it jabs๐ซค
Had to be sure :)
Steganography is so cool
If someone keeps kicking out devices wouldnโt the internet provider see?
Unless you issue an official complaint to the ISP, no.
I'm nearing the end of completing Cyber Security 101 roadmap but when I tried a challenge (Pickle Rick), I needed help from watching walkthrough from youtube. I want to learn from a practical standpoint, so I'm not sure whether I should focus more on doing the challenges while learning from walkthroughs or keep progressing with the roadmap? Advice please!
reminds me of that one wildly outta pocket clip
@boreal scarab i run metasploitable in proxmox ๐
How is everyone doing?

i over studied this past week and i took a 2 day hiatus and now i lost my 20 day streak... and i swas so close to 30...
It's an interesting thing. Uses openSCAD to generate the model
It's a bugger for the supports though. It's so tiny that its a pain getting them all off properly

meow??
I have a nice lunch today ๐
Beef, perchance?
i had kimchi fried rice
Meow? where?
indeed ๐
Sweet. Kimchi can be a bit of a coin-flip
homemade - the dish, not kimchi itself, haha
the lady Mangchi on youtube has many videos showing how to make your own
her recipes are very good
Don't you have to kinda... 'brew' it?
Story of my life
lots of asian influence ๐
its tasty
Speaking of which, I've been learning Cantonese ๐
Aye. I learned a little bit when I was younger - When UK gave Hong Kong to China, we had a bunch of Hong Kongese students join our school, so learned some from them.
@glass nest ill sand down laptop lid. and pain in 3 colors with black color on top. and try to get multicolor engraving. atm testing test plate ๐
Mostly curse words, but some normal stuff ๐
haha, i remember that day on the news
ralex - That sounds cool
was big deal
Yah. I was torn between Cantonese and Japanese (Wanted to learn an eastern language)
One of my best mates is from Hong Kong, so figured I'd be able to learn some from her.
hey guys what program can I use to view my CPU temps?
Yeah. I still remember the curse words fr4om school, 25-odd years ago ๐
haha memories
Dee, you're all green!
Ik Iโve been busy
the new name threw me off
Iโm super close to another level up Iโm training up on the soc path aiming for the new certs howโs life been?
(Finally going by my alias not my actual name)
i got to 0xE today

Gave +1 Rep to @upper knoll (current: #247 - 30)
30th rep
Pog free rep
I do some helping here and there icl
When I can I like to give back I still am no KGB
KGB stays in the help channels
@glass nest what you been up to?
I have so much respect for them
i used to do that but i quit soon after
bros only listen to bros
Tbh I think your very knowledgeable too from what I see
Dee - Just boring life stuff
Nah idc gender if you know more than me I respect that but I get you some people are like that
Missed seeing ya around
that can be automated now haha
Nice to see you back
but that is you not the common experience. there was another lady in help for a long while but she quit too
Aww, You too Dee ๐
Yer Iโm reasonably humble
I think itโs pretty much impossible not to learn from others
no one knows everything
I was always taught respect my elders in age and knowledge in field
I'm WAY more humble than you! Probably the MOST humble person ever!
Missed your humour
You missed my humbleness
score

import humble
Btw esqy hope you still been finding time to relax and all that
to ralex? Didn't realise he was now a verb
Also veggies anyone not smart enough to listen to ya, thatโs their loss
thanks, i also agree
Dee, Yeah - Trying to find time for that this week
so what have you been
@upper knoll ?
Iโm on the defensive streak at the moment did some windows forensics
nice
Tbh i hadnโt worked in a live environment before super different than just autopsy and ftk
im working on finishing SOC 1
Forensics eh? still channeling your 'inner cnmatic'
Try harder
eugh to tired to think... time to go sleep sloop so brain does the brainilating while shadow listens to beep boops in the meep moops
meep moorp
I wanna get into soc as an entry path and I think would be a great place to learn
I try WAY harder than you! Probably the MOST try hard person ever!
haha humble wins
It was actually where I got my start and was what they taught us in uni
It's a solid plan, Dee
Rest well shadow
My insomnia and sleep patterns might actually have use in SOC 
Gotta play to your strengths
Icl live windows forensics is a new beast
curious who plays. to their weaknesses?
Idk I spend most of my time working my weakest muscle groups at the gym other than that idk
Huh. Good point
My poor glutes 
back and glutes
after sitting for awhile i do some dumbbell deadlifts
My back is more up to the punishment
Only biceps.
trapezoids
parallellograms
You need that for those sweet pizza tosses eh?
๐
jealous
Noice.
I am a stuffed crust girly icl
planning on hitting up the asian wholesaler tomorrow to restock on Dimsum
i like chicago deep dish style
Ooo
With the cheese on the bottom? Gross, veggies
I will say never had the pleasure to try that
it differs from areas, but my location has it as thick pizza and lots of ๐ง
Veggies - so.. culinarily, it's either a bad pizza or a mediocre pie?
Yer no where really does deep dish pizza like Chicago in the uk
who calls it pie? haha
๐ฅง
Mama Mia thatโs a big pizza pie
I never had a chicago pizza in Chicago. I did have a great Italian Beef though
pizza pie in the eye
Please donโt be mad at me for my stereotype
@blazing granite you may need to chime in
i have had philly cheesesteak from philly, was best sandwich in my life
I really want to try that I will say
Aye, certainly on the list
i am hungry, thanks BlackFireFox

I've heard good things
Also real japanese ramen
Btw veggies I trust you your still welcome to use my name
thats on the list
Same with esqy
it is solid experience
Just not for the randos you know?
Aww, thanks ๐
If you find yourself in Chicago, Italian Beef at Al's is the tops. Portillo's is a very close second
i used to have open DM and friend requests but it got so bad, now all blocked
I wanna try real sushi and real high quality wagu in Japan I heard the Hokido cows make the most gorgeous marbling
@grizzled wing remember yausif
Yep.
thinking ....
Yer Ik but your a wonderful bean so your welcome to my name
the person that got banned
bc of his friend thag cna hack
Dee - Thats why I was torn between learning Cantonese and Japanese. Figured as by friend is Cantonese, I'd be able to use it more
cake milkshake is lit.
thats sweet
I try my best 
Will have to find one next time I'm out there
sorry, but i do not recall at this time. but anyway hi !
Honestly I wish I could learn languages ima bribe my gf to learn Japanese so we can travel there she already knows 3 languages
everything for attention is that right?
interesting
what? sorry for not remembering you.
my milkshakes bring all the hackers to the yard

Dee - It's similar to hacking. Just another syntax, y'know?
Portillo's is famous for it
Nah hacking and commands follow logic and patterns
no need to be sorry about it. apologies for making u get more attention by unwanted people
i enjoy seeing Juun in chat ๐ก๏ธ
so does speech.
You canโt make languages that have random gendering make sense to my brain
Why is a lamp female
Why
gendering in non-english gets me
Usually it just comes down to.. well, it doesnt sound right.
i am top 10% yey. can i get some respect now ๐
Iโve learnt some very basic polish to speak to my moms gf
Respect is earned, not demanded
^
i speak mostly Python
sheesh a snake~
I still love they named the language after the movies
i actually put that on a gov't census form
Ah.. well, heres my python joke.. sssSs ssSsSS sssSS.... SSssS!
Iโm not on any government form I donโt vote
i vote all the time
save sam so sarah saves samira
Keep hacking, and you'll be on a government form..
Oh Iโve interview at a goverment agency
doesn't take much effort to
I did badly 
alright how do i earn it
which room do i need to complete
Pop into the help channels, and help other people ๐
TADAAAAAAAAa
๐
bro i am not gonna hurt @cloud quiver 's business
Shrug. It keeps him on his toes
Itโs so validating when I help people and he says I give good advice icl
yeah i try to help man
Excellent ๐
Then, just give it time. Soon people will be mentioning you in the same sentance as KGB. (the user, not the organisation)
Building a good community is the only way to get respect. There is no room you can complete to be a good person.
The org doesn't really exist any more.... now it's the FSB.
Or is that just what they want you to think 
Ah. I don't really keep up with international politics. Especially recently.
mind tricks
i don't dream to compete with him
That happened like 20 years ago, Esqy
hah
Not wrong
What can I say? I'm a bit behind.
!wrong
okay cool. just don't ban me guys ๐
but i love this website it's sick
i love when the music playlist has a good song and then hacking energy intensifies
So true
Hackers (1995) OST?
My gf looked at me like I was crazy when I said hacking requires a certain kind vibe of music 
for me usually it some retrowave
My vibe is trap metal
i do that
Cause Iโm different
i have it on soundcloud
Back in my day, there were only like 5 genres of music. You kids have it so good, and you don't even know it.
do you know the artist ocxone ?
Im still trying to teach him browsers can have multiple tabs but heโs actually pretty savvy 
Somewhere in the back of my mind but not off top of my head
Grim salvo was my intro into the genre
i dont know that one
We shall swap then!
heart of darkness is playing ...
Iโll check those out you can check my recommendation out (if you want of course)
Oooo great one
i cant hack with lyrics
its too busy otherwise
ElizabethNoir has a really great and random taste in music. Give her a shout next time she's about, I'mm sure she can recommend something
calm is calm for me
I live in calm chaos
@sinful moon Maybe she's about..
(they were talking music, so I made the connection)
Watching Sherlock...
Ooo good show
UK peeps are up late
haha
Which has been mad itโs March and itโs warm
With tea and scones
Like itโs weird
My house has been cold this week. My boiler broke, and I only managed to fix it yesterday ๐
tea is a beverage i dont often consume
Had to swing by the gym each morning for a warm shower ๐
matcha ๐
Itโs so much more chill than coffee
i like coffee jitters
I need one matcha in a day it does exactly what I need and no crazy crash
coffee is good to me, i used to hate it many moons ago
Thatโs what my energy drinks are for
I love matcha
Ppl always shit on it by saying it tastes like grass. Well maybe I like the taste of grass
that is a waste of money. if i need a ๐ง boost i use liquid gensing vials , works 99% of the time
Tbh it only does if you donโt make it right
If you do it in boiling water not like 70-80 degrees it has a nice flavour
Never tried that
I just use energy drinks as an extra energy and muscle boost for gym days
available at a asian grocery store or amazon
Whatโs the taste?
bitter
The taste of the Amazon, I assume
I havenโt liked a parcel or jungle icl esqy
having an energy drink rn
Okay good to know Iโll have to give that a try
I've still not had caffeine...i think it's 2 years now? Maybe more
sometimes i go without coffee
other than the amount in cola.
Negligible tbh
i use a SodaStream for such things
I love my sodastream.
Just fizzy water is amazing
yess
Why does water need to taste funny
Because of culture
No sparking water is weird
i have ๐ water
You're weird
Yes
facts
I think thatโs pretty well understood
I dont like sparkling water
It tastes wrong
boring tap or bottled water is so pedestrian
tastes like what I imagine static electricity tastes like
you two are just... uncultured ๐
โจ water
My gf will only drink sparkling water
she is smart
See? She's normal
if you say so
She will be very happy to see this layer
water >
echo water >> sodastream.sparkle
Right chat itโs time I finish my second dinner and see why my gf hasnโt reappeared. Esqy was so lovely to see you
And veggies donโt stop being you!
Glad to see you too ๐
enjoy dinner # 2

why dont I get a compliment too smh
Iโm very autismo
because your water is flat
same here
Iโm sure your a lovely bean
yours is volatile
zactly. The secret taste ingredient is the Risk
I risk a heart attack with all this caffeine
Well, Jabba consumes about 80% of the energy drinks sold in the UK. Once he's still about, you should be fine.
you need biiig amount of coffeeine to get heart attack
think there is some age and health factors at play
Likely, yeah. Plus potential rabbit physiology
since i am doing logs, i say to myself Captain's logs like star trek
I need more fried food in my veins
I took close to 2g of caffeine during my most hectic times
Makes me think of @odd socket - Bona fide trekkie ๐
i do not think i have communicated with said user, but i love their picture of starfleet logo
๐
DH is a good egg ๐
You'll get along well!
nice
I did play a bit of STO towards the middle of last year
Star Trek?
star trek and hacking have so much in common, the Enterprise got hacked all the time
original series is very long and boring but it is important to know
1 third away from never having hectic times again
yes, star trek
I like that they got the actors from the films/series to do the voiceovers
trek is some of the best tv
I believe the fatal dose is 10g
Toxicity starts at 3-4
mmmm
I would hallucinate out of the corner of my eyes but the lack of sleep might have contributed to that
I want to hallucinate just to see how it's like
your

Mostly just thinking a demon was in the room with you
thanks sudo
Gave +1 Rep to @grizzled wing (current: #39 - 233)
such a great tool for notes
It is great
Wait nvm I did hallucinate when I was a kid, a few times I had high anxiety at night home alone and I hallucinated the door handle opening
Not that much, but it counts
I wonder how it's like to have sleep paralysis
Go to bed!

so glad Creed are performing again
they were performing where i live but i didnt go
hello everyone, i'm ashamed to say that but a friend of mine hacked all of my professionnals accounts : instagram ; tiktok ; gmail ; website. this guy that i considered as a friend had access to the account to help me a little bit but he decided without telling me to keep the accounts for him when that wasn't the plan at all.
important to notice that : i created and i worked on this accounts, i'am the one that created them. they are basically mine.
i don't really know what to do, by the way, my personal and profesional informations are on this accs (bank id, profesional work...)
If someone can help me, i will pay 25 euros the guy/girl that find a solution for me. i absolutely need this accounts and the problem is that that guy changed everything : for example in my gmail acc he changed the recuperation mail and the number so i'm in a really bad position, seems like this never was mine, but it was and i can proove it.
Thanks.
please help.
@mossy river
yes ?
sorry i'm new in the server
i don't know if this is forbidden or no
:))
Nothing you can do other than contact the support for the services
oh okay thanks ! is there a special support for gmail and tiktok ?
Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #6 - 1519)
Iโm not sure about TikTok but the Google help centre will advise for gmail
thanks so much !
Good luck with recovering your accounts, in future enable 2FA on everything and make sure youโre the only one with access
oops
Jabba is up late
When creating a team in tryhackme. Can we upload any image as Team avatar or are there any Restrictions?
some restrictions apply
Which ones? I am trying to upload one but nothings working
safe for work
Any other ones
probably but that is the main one
Ok thanks
hey, i tried for center help, but this didnt worked, in fact he changed my recuperation number and mail + password so i can't recover it, do you know if i can write to them for some help ?
If you can, it will be on their website

i see

what is LKM ?
Linux Kernel Module
hahaha
why would I code with crabs?
for the shell of it
I mean seriously, those things are named cancer for a reason.
Rust is a hard language
More like brittle. Rust is oxidized iron.
It's quite flaky in my opinion.

Well, it's just a misc kernel module, haven't really made my up my mind yet, but that nyancat I just remembered, so I'll figure out a way to turn it into a kernel module
Hey guys, I tried doing the htb cpts pathway and htb content but they say its beginner but apparently its not beginner. My final goal is CPTS, some people suggest me to do THM, CCNA, Sec+ and LInux+ before CPTS. I am new to this topic and am getting lots of suggestions so am confused on how to approach this as a newbie. Please help me by anyy suggestions. I am in Canada btw
oh no, what did I start?
you started fun
OSCP is a big cert big man
Thanks, have you ever tried HTB Academy, they say its begenner but it too advanced and taking too much time and was soo annoying and I was not learning anything so I was suggested to do thm before htb
Gave +1 Rep to @grizzled wing (current: #39 - 234)
hey i have a question, im struggling in the beginning of the cyber security course and im getting stressed out because i wanna be a professional in it but i dont understand a single thing and only remember networks and protocols.Do you guys think getting a teacher or tutor to help is necessary?
yes, HTB academy is beginner but less hand holding than THM. this platform is very beginner friendly.
Well tbh I want cpts now before oscp because its cheaper and better
#start-here it takes time
are you taking notes? are you rushing through rooms?
i occasionally take notes
huge problem
I dont understand what do you mean my that, we are learning so arent we supposed to get lessons from these websites, and be tested on those in prictical ways
take notes, cyber security is an ๐ , you cannot hold all of the info in your head
but im already halfway through the course do i have to go backwards to restart?
food for thought... it is often when we are confused that we know we are growing out of our comfort zone. Taking notes is good, but if you can't boil the concepts down, i recommend chatgpt as a way to clarify and organise your thoughts
Try HackMe explains everything in detail, so much help, HTB does far less detailed explanations. the onus is on you to figure stuff out
hii guys i am new to cyber and someone please help me out
take notes. go back and take notes.
HTB academy had this linux fundamentals in its CPTS prequisites pathway, they had some content in their section and thay were asking questions in the end were totally different or only somewhat related to the section content
that is vague, be more specific
Its was soo annoying and timeconsuming
me right now
ok
Exactly, they want me to figure out stuff wthout teaching me anything
but how do i take notes
HTB is 3 websites, not just 1. i am talking about HTB Academy, it does teach but is not as helpful as THM
like write down a short summary about what each room was about?
i want to learn hacking stuffs and over all i am new to this field what i want is ti guide me what i can do to start
that is something you need to search google for
orrrr you can just question yourself with every new concept you learn and kinda summarise it down into something you understand
ok, welcome ! TryHackMe is ethical cybr security platform #start-here is starter pathway
that single module wasted so much time that I stopped doing htb and yes by htb I did mean htb Academy
im with you on this journey dude, as i mentioned chatgpt and notetaking are key for understanding whatever i understand rn
HTB is not a waste of time, just you were not prepared for it. you should return later on, it has quality content
there are plenty of walkthroughs and youtube videos to explain content
did you get started with htb at the start, or did thm help you develop that understanding to be successful?
Htb academy doenst wants you to teach things, For eg it wil say their are alplabets, it wont teach what are they how do you pronounce them, and then it will ask you to write a 1000 word story. This is how they do in terns of complexity and that annoying asf considering they say its for beginners
learn how to search (google dork) is ๐ to finding solutions
a lot of tech is like that
i started with both
youll need to google a lot here too
so what you were able to understand the challenges at htb or did you have prior knowledge?
well then just focus on THM content
damn sudo really being spammed here huh
HTB server people say the same thing but its not that simple
dont ask me questions then have snarky comment about my responses to questions
import os
from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')```
dude you can either complain or push yourself to learn. again, if you do not understand something, adapt and use resources to help you. im a huge dumbass too sometimes, but i use gpt to dumb it down for me, works wonders if you dont wanna use google
no one ever said cyber was easy dude ๐
cyber security is work. you will have to figure stuff out
i took 4 hours to do a 1 hour room today, it just comes with the job mate
room times are just estimates, not rules to live by
if u dont care to google and learn the stuff then it may not be for you, not to be discouraging tho
well yeah, but i think my point still tands
stands
hacking is mostly reading and searching
all skills are truth be told, but technicals most obviously
SUDO YOU STILL DIDNT ANSER MY QUESTION;-;
what was it again?
:ppp
what about the edgy music and frantic typing
FOR REAL ๐
is phonk edgey
meanwhile:
Listening to nyancat music for no reason whatsoever
or am i cleared
I do not have problem with that but when you dont get answers for long time and the question they are asking you is completely unrelated then its a problem
Nah phonk is great for working out
i understand dude fsfs, thats why i recommend chatgpt
especially at the start
content THM has problems too, rooms ask for answer that is different from actual answer
some thm walkthroughs expect you to do research outside of the rooms
but thats the fun of it
and I am new to googling stuff so yes its difficult, I dont get the answers right away
Just meditate and let the universe tell you the answer
aight since its pretty clear my advice holds little to no value, i wish you luck on your journey dude ๐
gg everyone ๐ฏ
I just realized that the lyrics for the nyancat song is just nyan over and over
shocking
๐๐ฟ๐
someone who wants to do OSCP will need to know how to search stuff, work hard on getting into a box, restart their work, be stressed
greetings ๐
The big problem is that when I try googling it, it takes time or I can just watch a video on ytb and then I wont learn it so its confusin, like should I give time to googling stuff or just do walkthrough
both
google dorking is ๐
It does hold value, thanks a lot I appreciate it

Hai new friend! ๐๐ฟ
im watching star trek movie right now
Which one?
star trek generations
anyone here got ejpt?
ook yeah i get it im level 4, basically no name and all the shiny badges have their appeal BUT DUDE COME ON JUST USE CHATGPT. ask it anything, ask it to simplify, ask it to relate it to things you know, even ask for answers to the godamn questions if you want, but just learn from it. dont feel discouraged by not knowing the answer, no one does at the start, but feel encouraged youre pushing yoruself through the confusion and most importantly, adapting to challenge. nothing great in life is ever easy dude, ever, the world doesn't work in our favour, but if you just accept that and use what you can, youll be miles better than anyone who gives up just bc they dont understand
huge payoff getting through the basics
o
the basics was in my opinion the hardest thing to power through due to ADHD, haha.
im currently having cognitive dissonance to continue with thm, or do it as more of a hobby and get the ejpt course and aim for that
and now you know more than the general public, that is smart, good work
that was like..almost 6 years ago.
The eJPT is so much more affordable. Iโm thinking about diving back into cybersecurity and getting that certification
regardless of when , the knowledge is still valid.
well, yeah.
For example, nmap isn't going to change any time soon.
have u tried going for it at all?
unless you travel back in time haha
haha
You should do the reading first, then try to explain what you learned to a 3rd grader. If you cannot, read it again, and repeat.
Richard Feynman had some problematic opinons, but his method of study is very good.
I was doing programming before this and used GPT, and whenever I use LLMS, I cheat a lot so I am trying not to ask it things or else I will cheat again and wont be honest with myself. This time I want to learn, not cheat and be honest with myself so thats why I am asking people with experience and not use LLMS
that's good advice
Feynman !!!
I failed the OSCP a few years ago. In spectacular fashion. I was SO nervous during the exam that I got an ocular migraine.
oof, well im keeping that for down the line
then good job bro, ure miles ahead than you were before fs. but then again, if you can control yourself and use gpt in a way that aligns with your goals, nothing stopping you. or, you can google and do what theyre all saying. the drive to learn thats what we need inside, and you have it. youll find youre less likeley to cheat when you have that understanding
id want ejpt and/or ceh first
I had to lay down for a while, took some Excedrin migraine AND my anxiety pill. I went back at it a few hours after closing my eyes for it to come right back
I did get 1 flag, though
He said once "I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned" ๐
i went for sec+ then started thm but sec+ isnt landing me anything security related
Screaming at people to use ChatGPT to learn a thing they don't know anything about really isn't productive. If you are going to be helpful, a different tone would be good. If someone's brain just refuses to accept something like that, the only thing they can do is repetition of the concept and work through it to understand. Time and familiarity is what gets people over that hill, not vague comments of 'use a tool known to hallucinate answers with great unpredictability'.
I think it was the buffer overflow one because that was my favorite module in the course
i feel like im learning at thm but im not sure if it looks good for employers
i mean, isnt something they are particularly looking for
i understand that bro, i do, but as a beginner who understands the struggle and the discouragement, chatgpt felt like a godsend to me. I want others to see it bc it gets a bad rep for giving answers when it can also be a teacher
buffer overflows are fun
I did get the sec+ too, but it didnโt help me either
They are!
easily a problem in the plasma conduit manifold
If you want to use a tool where you don't know enough to know if it's giving you a bad answer, that's 100% on you. Please do not recommend that strategy to others.
Especially with this kind of tool, it's actually impossible for a beginner to know if the subject material is being represented accurately.
My sec+ expired in 2022 and I havenโt even tried to get it renewed.
yeah doesnt sound worth it lol
in that man, ill agree to disagree. i have no intention of forcing it down him, but i am presenting an alternative, and if he clicks with it, then so be it, and if i dont learn from it (which hasnt been my experience so far), then ill adjsut
What matters to employers is "can you do the job". That's priority number one. If a particular certification is required for the job, the employer will set a condition to get it within a timeframe.
well, how do i know how to do practical security stuff without doing it at my job now
It's better for the community to either point someone in a direction they don't see, or to try to teach what they are asking for. Just saying ask the magic box does neither.
i can get a feel for it at thm which is great, but it doesnt feel like enough i guess
and definitely not enough to prove to an employer, considering i dont get technical interviews
im not gonna argue here, but to me its a matter of how you use it lol, but i respect your persepctive and i appreciate you humbling me as a beginner to be aware on what may be potential pitfalls
or an initial interview for that matter
If you are entry level, you won't be getting technical interviews. Typically you'll have a phone screen with the recruiter to make sure your resume is accurate, and then you'll have a personality/attitude interview with the manager or team you'd be working for.
Honestly, until you get to at least senior level, attitude is more important than knowledge.
The first year in any new job is drinking from the firehose.
So at what point would you guys suggest me doing thm before switching back to htb for CPTS. I did hear that CPTS is very advanced level so dont know what point to switch from this to HTB academy
ive been getting my resume out there so hopefully i can hook something good
Pentest is not entry level to security; if all you have on your resume is a pentest cert, I would be extremely doubtful you will be considered for those jobs.
nah im aiming for junior soc or sec analyst
pentester is like 5 year goal
is ejpt considered like entry level regarding cert for pentesting tho?
have you used htb academy and htb
I have done HTB boxes.
It's good content, but more than half of pentesting isn't in technical. It's in writing the report. If you want to go for that because breaking stuff is cool you are going to be very very disappointed.
Typically on a pentest engagement, it's 2 weeks of technical testing, 1 week of report drafting, 1 week of QA on the report, then it gets handed over to the client.
does anyone know if the SOCLV1 cert with THM can u have notes and a templated summary for case notes for the test
Or is it all closed book ?
and such
is CCNA, Sec+ and linux+ helpful to clear the basics before going for THM pathways or should I just go for THM paths
A-Z ๐ซ Hacker
I mean, thereโs a lot of money in bug hunting, though
if you are good
True
There can be. But it's not consistent. And you have to be really good at it to be invited to the programs and teams that get the good payouts.
Doing bug bounty is a good learning experience, but I would not recommend it as a primary source of income unless one is capable of making at least $50/hr doing it.
Because you will still have to pay taxes on the money you make doing it; it's not a stable stream like a day job is.
U should have A great skills to be great A bounty hunter
TCM has a video all about the pros/cons of bug bounty
any idea guys about this
i think id still pentesting or atleast something cybersecurity related than what im doing rn
Start in tryhackme better
I wonder where you pick up the skills to be a good bug hunter. HTB boxes?
im a systems engineer
Dm md
im also on call rn getting fucken tickets at 11:30pm Madge
๐ซ
i also work for an MSP, so doesnt seem like the best place to stay at for the rest of my career
MSP means what again?
managed service provider
ok, thanks
we sell IT services to small companies that cant afford internal IT teams
very nice
Doing the public bug bounty programs. I think HackerOne has a decent one, and it helps protect the tester from potential liability assuming they stay in scope.
Thanks for the info!

That, and if you want to participate in a VDP, start poking around at in-scope assets
๐๏ธ Zagreus hacks
you'll learn something new
VDP?
vulnerability disclosure policy
Ah ok. Thanks for the info!
i still think we should have /acronym function
what's that?
haha
I could not find an article, please try again.
sorry wasn't paying attention to chat.
ah
i take what you type as joke first
that's generally a good rule of thumb.
haha
good to have thumbs
and rule them
or oppose them
or perhaps call them peasants.
?
I don't really know either.
phalanges
just a weird thought that didn't make sense
in the Ganges
so, how has your day been?
that's good. I however am torturing myself with trying to understand LD_PRELOAD and linux kernels.
Guys i need help, i got final year project in my uni. So i gotta choose a topic to work on. Perhaps i need something Ai/machine learning/deep learning that could be used for prevention in any sort of cyber attack overall. Do y'all have any suggestions or existing projects?
uh
doe sthat follow the PRE_SOAK ?
It's more of like..loading stuff into bash
your are like 3rd person this week asking for such help haha
ahead of time.
should we contact a mod about this?
@whole yew homework ideas?
if need ideas checkout https://tryhackme.com
So, one time in this channel, someone said "Hello, peeps" and I was tempted to react 
for no reason
haha
Looking back, I should have.
haha
man, it's quiet today.
huh, so does anyone have tips for linux kernel modules?
nobody? Alright.
Can any Mod help me in such help?
Hecker, search up the build your own X repo by code crafters on github
sorry, we can't help with coursework - you are better off asking your advisor for help on what would satisfy the requirement
AI that automatically scans the system and checks running services w/ versions for existing CVEs/exploits, then outputting alerts to some type of log/documentation would be pretty cool and fairly doable with today's tech
Oh yeah seems interesting
even though it's not actively doing anything, it would be a useful tool for keeping up to date with your system (aside from an apt update && apt upgrade -y cronjob
