general

[steady pewter]

hey Seras, is it alright if I DM you?

[chrome iris]

Sure~

"Want to play Tic Tac Toe?"
O|O|O
X|X|X
O|O|O
"I WIN"

[steady pewter]

I actually did make a tic tac toe AI, quite literally unbeatable too (the joke here is that you give false hope to the people playing it that they can get a root shell, when in reality, that's not possible--at all)

[sand mason]

LMAO

[sand mason]

Yeah I remember vsauce had a video of a tic tac toe book where no matter what move you picked you lost, except one line that led to a draw

[steady pewter]

yeah, I actually kinda..made that book by accident...

well, after it was released, but again, not even with knowledge of the existing prior book.

[chrome iris]

Oh, a Red Herring!
"You could mingle with my functions, bash your head against my processes, and generally exhaust yourself trying to understand my evolving code..."
"Or, you could beat me in a simple game of Tic Tac Toe"

[sand mason]

Lmao oops

[steady pewter]

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do!

We could actually have something like that on port 83 if they manage to interact with it (as a little easter egg)

[sand mason]

Honestly that could be scripted in python easily, like how the anondgr room ||spams you from dummy ports||

[steady pewter]

yeah!

I thought that room was pretty cool too (beat it within 20 mins)

[chrome iris]

Zamn
I've been hitting my head against Opacity and Lookup for a lil' while. I'll figure it out eventually, but I don't feel particularly clever~

[sand mason]

I easily spent an hour after getting creds just trying to get my ssh to work 💀💀

[steady pewter]

huh..really?

[sturdy pike]

V1 and V2 are still kids

So yeah

[steady pewter]

hey cookies, wanna help us out in this?

[sturdy pike]

What are you guys doing?

[sand mason]

I had everything right but ||it wasn't using the same signature for the key||

[steady pewter]

Remember that whole thing with ultron earlier? We're thinking about how we could design it to be an actual room.

[sand mason]

We're definitely onto something with it too tbh

[steady pewter]

Imagine if a whole bunch of people came into #general just now and started requesting it to be a room, that would be genuinely funny.

[muted light]

I'm having this problem

[sand mason]

Just like spamming rep to not helpful lmao

[sturdy pike]

We can't make it an actual AI, or we can but it'll have to be vulnerable and available using secret phrases to find loopholes

[steady pewter]

I think it's uh..possible.

[sturdy pike]

Brute forcing phrases, making custom word lists, yeah, its definitely going to be a harder challenge

[sturdy pike]

It is

[chrome iris]

Try to use the AttackBox.

[kindred yew]

What would be the level of difficulty in Hackfinity CTF?

Can I join as a beginner?

[sturdy pike]

That room will have to be longer as we're introducing the concepts of AI and in depth

[muted light]

@chrome iris I'm already using attack box

[sturdy pike]

Its directed towards beginners so yeah

[chrome iris]

Telling the AI a Passphrase could have it print a suspicious phrase, a fine collection of words that's probably important.

[steady pewter]

The trick is that it'll be an old version of a LLM, so it'll be inherently more vulnerable, so I'm not too worried about that, but uh, we could have it generate passwords and usernames for the users?

[sand mason]

Alright guys I'm going to bed 😴

Keep me posted on the room idea

[steady pewter]

We will.

Have a gn

[steady pewter]

daisy bell?

[chrome iris]

Check for any configuration suggestions. Anything that might need to be changed in the AttackBox to make the challenge work.

[chrome iris]

Y E S

[sturdy pike]

There was a similar challenge in a CTF I did, you had to use the echo command to show stuff on the website, was really fun, so agree

[chilly veldt]

I just felt the jetlag

[meager elbow]

How to capture a cookies

[meager elbow]

Use of echo cammnad

[sturdy pike]

People will abuse it then

[meager elbow]

How to use wireshark in mobile

[steady pewter]

Of course, however, there is one last secret weapon:
AI hardening via LoRA training methods

[chrome iris]

Next best strategy is to anticipate and build around those vulnerabilities. Make them part of the challenge.

[chrome iris]

Or that~

[steady pewter]

Sorry, again uh..AI nerd here.

[sand mason]

Termux on rooted phone

[sturdy pike]

Dang, sounds good

[chrome iris]

Writer, here~
Nothing published, but I always have ideas.

[sturdy pike]

We can give the hints through the AI itself then

[steady pewter]

Yeah, the AI will be literally copiloting the terminal.

Best part? The best part is that the passwords and usernames for users are generated via the AI. So expect good size passwords, the only thing is that for this part, at least, we'll have to increase the temperature of the tokens being outputted by the AI, so it's less predictable (but less comprehensible, which is perfect in this use case)

Perhaps I'll handle the AI parts..

[chrome iris]

Should some of them change and become randomized? There's always a technique, and there are static 'checkpoint' pieces that are always a reliable tool other than a username and password.

[steady pewter]

Yeah, of course. For truly random passwords, we can use the randint operator in python to randomize the temperature and params for the AI's generations of the individual passwords.

The checkpoints I think will be a kernel module that essentially just checks for successful interactions with the flags, would that be good?

[sturdy pike]

Guys

Let's make a thread

[steady pewter]

And then after each checkpoint, the box essentially reshuffles everything.

yeah..

[meager elbow]

Without root how to use

[steady pewter]

What should it be called?

[sturdy pike]

Ultron

[steady pewter]

Alright, yeah, one problem:
I don't know how to make one

I got pinned for "the pin of shame" earlier yesterday, haha.

[chrome iris]

Mechanically yeah, but I'm thinking they could be necessary for uses that need to reset the machine for whatever reason. If they run out of time or want to come back later, they may need to re-do some things. Having static information checkpoints would allow a user to skip certain sections and get back to where they were in the challenge.

[sturdy pike]

Pin of shame? Here?

[steady pewter]

Yeah, uh, look at the pinned messages.

[sturdy pike]

Lmfao

[steady pewter]

hmm..perhaps there are ways to allow for a dynamic session? Perhaps treat these more like..checkpoints?

oh my..my braid is not working today.

brain*

[chrome iris]

If there's a way for the machine to track progress between reboots, then yeah~ Anything that allows the user to hold onto their progress~

[sturdy pike]

I don't have much idea on AI so I'm just reading the newfound knowledge

I can still brainstorm

[steady pewter]

Good suggestion, but I don't think they're "reboots" per-say, more like..restarting a docker container. In othewords, nothing can be saved. Instead, we can possibly use an honor system (like a literal telnet service that simply asks for a flag, and then gives you a shell to continue that region)

[sturdy pike]

I have a feeling if we're saving data then this would be a premium room

[steady pewter]

Yeah so here's how I'm thinking:
Run a telnet service that essentially acts as a checkpointer, and feed it a flag that you've put in previously, then you can continue from where you left off?

(what part of the room needed to be completed for that specific flag to be obtained)

[chrome iris]

Yeah, that's roughly the sort of thing I had in mind~
Persistence mechanisms, or anything that can bypass security that needs information. If you have the key, you can pass through the challenge without re-doing it.
Maybe putting in the "latest" Flag is all you need to do? There could be a hierarchy of Flags, and submitting one fulfills all Flags before it.

[sturdy pike]

We have an AI which tracks our progress in rooms and helps us, similar to that we can have the AI of the room which tracks what question you're doing and sets itself up for the task

[steady pewter]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

[sturdy pike]

We can also have the task files be downloaded for the people who are doing it via openvpn

[mellow narwhal]

I mean, you could just document all of the steps you took and compile it into a shell script

[steady pewter]

yeah.

[mellow narwhal]

then just run the script after each reboot to catch up

its also helpful for beating cleanup scripts

[steady pewter]

The task files would probably include stuff like documentation, and perhaps just a little bit of source code (like for the unbeatable tic tac toe challenge, and enabling the player to completely avoid it if they understand how powerful it truly is)

[sturdy pike]

If we gotta make a script, it'll be a "hard" or "insane" class room

As this much thought process is going into it

[steady pewter]

two years later:
It gets approved as an insane room

[sturdy pike]

Yes

[mellow narwhal]

not really

scripting is easy

besides its just the raw commands inside the script, not anything overly advanced

[steady pewter]

Depends on the objective

[mellow narwhal]

talking about when you need to reboot or something

[sturdy pike]

Yes, and we're talking about beating auto cleaning scripts

[mellow narwhal]

or if you're trying to export a TGT and change some password without getting caught by the cleanup script

automation comes in handy in those kinds of cases

[sturdy pike]

Well a beginner won't be able to think as much

[mellow narwhal]

I often do this for insane machines in HTB, I document all the commands, script it and then just run it to get user flag

especially when you have a one minute cleanup script or something

[steady pewter]

Here's what I'm envisioning:
A CTF which suites itself to and adapts to each player, not overwhelming beginners while still proving a challenge to the experienced.

[mellow narwhal]

AOC side quests are nice in that regard

[earnest willow]

Hi everyone, i'm new in this server 😄

[chrome iris]

It could be good if comments in the Source Code indirectly stated that the game is meant to be impossible.
It's just clear that the developer intended to make an unbeatable game, or maybe just a "Challenging" one that was more powerful than they expected.

[steady pewter]

Yeah, I don't expect everyone to read all the registers for the minimax alpha-beta pruning algorithm and understand. So yeah, having some kind of comment to let those know. Perhaps even something absurd like an easter egg?:
The cake is a lie

[lethal hatch]

Is it just me or the customer service has gone so bad? 😦
My 1st attempt for SAL1 was wasted since the servers went down. And they said once the servers are back up, I can attempt the exam again.

I mailed and tried to chat multiple times. There was no reply. 😦

I understand I got the exam for a free attempt since I have BTL1. But even then...

[cold veldt]

is hydra faster than burp's brute forcing?

[modest charm]

I dont know if it is faster for all scenarios, but I usually prefer using hydra

[chrome iris]

Maybe there are a couple of uncharacteristic comments mixed in for good measure?
"#This new algorithm SHOULD be more interesting to play against" versus "#Detected unoptimized code - rectified"
The AI had a hand in building the unwinnable game, at least canonically.
"The game was rigged from the start" -Ultron (offering a 'simple' alternative to hacking)

[modest charm]

yesterday coincidentally, I was running it against http-get-form query and it was way faster

[steady pewter]

Man, this ultron room is going to be fun.

[steady pewter]

And that does sound very good for the comments. Yeah.

[cold veldt]

ooh alr alr

[earnest willow]

I would like to pass the compTia a+ exam, has anyone taken it yet? Do you have any idea where to study from?

[whole gazelle]

if you use burp community edition then i think that hydra should be faster

[steady pewter]

alright good night everyone, or good morning too, whatever time it is for you.

[cedar herald]

Contemplating if its worth getting the year long or just go monthly so i can cancel if i ever need to... Decisions decisions xD

[devout palm]

The latter is better

[trail sequoia]

year subscription right now is 25% off, so you should definitely think about it as it’s like 100€ and not 125€

[cedar herald]

Checks out vs if i did monthly it'd be like 168$ AUD

If ive done my math right

Which looking at that doesent look right

[sick lance]

How much is it monthly right now?

Then * by 12.

[near sapphire]

i need to catch up with the materials, i've been slacking off

[cedar herald]

okay yeah so i was right

[trail sequoia]

i think 14€

[cedar herald]

For some reason that amount just doesent look right to my brain lmfao

You know like how youll write something and then look at it and its right but it just looks wrong

[sick lance]

That's two different currencies...

[trail sequoia]

yeah my bad 😅

[cedar herald]

lol

either way

same number xD its 14aud here

[trail sequoia]

yeah i was thinking that aud and euros was similar

[void thunder]

AUD and Euro have a massive difference?

[small heath]

goodmorning peeps

or good whatever part of the day you are in

[cedar herald]

A whole dollar if you think about it

Either way

same number was used

[maiden shell]

my kali machine in the vmware always lock automatically how i can turn this off every few minutes its ask again the password

[cloud quiver]

[analog drift]

probably not the best place to ask this for an unbiased answer, but how worth it is premium and is it really necessary? im in my first year of college for my cybersecurity degree so im just looking for something hands on that i can make sense of what im learning

[trail sequoia]

premium is really worth it in my opinion

and if you want something hands on, the ctfs are just amazing

[cloud quiver]

It's not necessary , there are more than 500 free rooms 🙂

[broken horizon]

sup

[analog drift]

understood, theres a few rooms i want to hit that arent free but i think theyd be beneficial to me in the long run so im considering buying it. its not really expensive anyways so id definitely get my moneys worth

[trail sequoia]

yeah and if you are really really sure about it, you should also consider yearly plan as it is 25% off until tomorrow i think

but if you are not, just go with monthly and see if you like it

[analog drift]

i was also peeping that. my mom recently got hacked pretty bad, and i was already doing cybersecurity so it kindve made it more personal so now im basically doubling down on the content i learn to try and stop shit like that

[trail sequoia]

that’s messed up…

[analog drift]

yeahhh it happens though, it was old emails and old passwords that they got through instagram. most of it is cleared up HOPEFULLY

instagram is big on that shit, i know so many friends that have gotten theirs hacked

The entry is successfully entered and also seen via cmdkey /list.

If I now enter runas /savecred /user:bob cmd on the same account, I am prompted to enter a password. I enter foobar and get the following error message:

[willow sundial]

No results found - server is secure?

[void thunder]

On a base level kind of, but not necessarily; there are a few reasons why Shodan wouldn't show any results, it doesn't mean the server is secure though

[gray sonnet]

aye

[willow sundial]

Can you please tell me what the reasons could be?

[void thunder]

Off the top of my head, the server could have a well-configured firewall, be on a private network, have services running on uncommon ports not specifically scanned by Shodan, among many other reasons

Shodan is a great tool for getting a base understanding of a network or domain but it can't tell you everything, that's not what the tool is for

so its just burgers?

[modest charm]

ive never seen fried chicken in mcdonalds around here as well

closest they have is nuggets

[chilly veldt]

Yeah, just burgers and nuggets, not even pies

[near sapphire]

kinda surprised to be honest i thought fried chicken is a common menu in all mcdonalds

not even a chicken sandwich?

or do you have those

Hi everyone.. just asking for tips about learning cybersec.. I've been doing the path that comes with premium subscription.. I'm currently doing Wireshark: The Basics in Cybersecurity 101.

Sometimes I find it intimidating and overwhelming and my motivation kind of fades away.. I feel like I have to master all these tools before I could move on to the next one.

Is there anyone here who is in the same page as me?

Do you think I should really stress myself about mastering these tools or just push through with it and learn from experience and "googling stuff" as I advance through all these modules

[upper knoll]

the simple answer is most of us dont master these tools it takes long time and experience and repetition make goods notes try and enjoy it dont stress so much ❤️

[modest charm]

im not a sec professional, but ive been working with IT since a long time.
One thing I can say is. Focus on really understanding the concept, what is behind it and why. The tools are just tools.

mastering them will come with time

Wireshark for example, should help you learn how the different connections work, how the packets look like, how all these info is transmitted, acknowledged.. How the different types of authentication work and so on. Understanding those things will then make it possible for you to work with any other tool that does a similar job

Blackfirefox is right, it will come with time and repetition

Hey. I'm trying to keep up to date with things going on in cybersecurity. What are the best forums and such to go to to keep track of this stuff? Very overwhelming.

[glacial cove]

BleepingComputer, Kerbs On Security, Hacker News. The holy trinity

Get them on an RSS reader of your choice for bonus points, they're all on RSS

@grizzled wing thank you very much.

Hello, anyone free for a DM about the shellcode room? Would really like some insight

[crystal moss]

is Streak freeze being saved if i dont use it... Like if i have 1 and get one more later, can i then have 2 days free without losing my streak?

[grizzled wing]

just use the voice channel, people will stop by

streak freeze gets lost unless you have day 7 freeze hold, then once used it goes away

[plush forge]

like, how does one judge their own skill level?

[cloud quiver]

Yes

[crystal moss]

Iv have the 7 freeze now so i can wait for the 30 day and then use both ?

[grizzled wing]

think they are use individually, could be wrong

[crystal moss]

Ok.. Not a big deal, just wonder..

bassically- how do i determine what skill im at for the lft post

[inner goblet]

He’s awesome and he’s so smart

[rapid merlin]

He's very smart yeah. I could never learn that much

[grizzled wing]

practice and time, only way to improve and see your progress through writing walkthroughs, see how you solved it or what you were stuck on. later on you will look back and say 'i was stuck on this?' == progress

[rapid merlin]

I find it really hard to see my progress when I'm always raising the bar for myself.

[grizzled wing]

go back to your notes, see what you left out or what you see as easy

[plush forge]

that is not at all what i asked tho

[grizzled wing]

so confused with your comments

[rapid merlin]

I've been going over older resources, just refreshing my memory. I took a short break to rest and recharge.

But like also people like ryan started way before me and I'm tired and old now XD

[grizzled wing]

do not compare yourself to others

[plush forge]

this. how do i determine which one i am

[grizzled wing]

do you know how to run a nmap scan? do you know how to use Burp Suite?

[plush forge]

yes and yes

[grizzled wing]

then you are good to go

I've learnt so much and yet theres so much to learn

I want the 90 day one

After that who knows..

What if my dizziness is a stroke

That's 🔥

[grizzled wing]

90 days streak

[frank cradle]

what was your highest streaks count ?

[topaz topaz]

There's a 1000 day streak

No way in hell

[upper minnow]

i always keep a tab of advent of cyber open for the days i cant do a room to keep my streak

[grizzled wing]

legit streak was 180 days

[topaz topaz]

I usually go to the intro or the conclusion of a room in my learning path

[frank cradle]

just 180 only !

why are you all allergic to sunlight omfg

i still care

or anything bright

I’m a thm light mode user

[grizzled wing]

holy cow

[topaz topaz]

I love sunlight

[carmine tinsel]

Idk if HTB has light mode but I would use it with that too

[queen flare]

only a few days ago, there was only light mode on thm

[upper minnow]

i dont use dark mode in thm cos half the rooms have smth that becomes invisible on it

[topaz topaz]

That goes way beyond my levels of insanity though. Ew

[carmine tinsel]

Not discord tho I’m not a psycho

[topaz topaz]

You mean 2 months ago?

[upper minnow]

they did a poor job on making their dark mode

[grizzled wing]

its why i use Dark Reader and do not use THM dark mode

[queen flare]

funny how time flies right?

[topaz topaz]

Truth...

[frank cradle]

using light mode should be a war crime

[grizzled wing]

agree -- well, not a war crime but is bad haha

[topaz topaz]

My promise to my people as a president candidate is higher taxation for light mode users. You want to strain your eyes willingly? Not so fast bucko.. 35% tax.

[carmine tinsel]

Trying to get thru what the shell room rn

If im honest though muiri rooms are always overly verbose for some reason

Upload vulns room is the same aesthetic

[grizzled wing]

light + hacking = error, no hacking takes place in light mode

[queen flare]

try dark mode
you'll be able to solve the room faster

[topaz topaz]

True, have these people never watched mr robot??

[carmine tinsel]

No 🤓

I must be the only one who hasn’t watched Mr Robot

[topaz topaz]

You're not a real hacker if you've never watched elliot alderson get crushed by train doors

[grizzled wing]

the total of 5 minutes of hacking in that show

[carmine tinsel]

All I know is that this guy named Elliot is a hacker and also something about fsociety..?

do kids not say kino anymore

I'm more surprised ppl aren't fighting over KDE/gnome

there's a new term on the block, it's called absolute cinema

[carmine tinsel]

how I feel after calling a movie a ‘film’

[wooden totem]

which means the same thing

[split ore]

that's true to a certain extent, I mean even powershell works more or less like linux terminal, and many tools are available in classic .exe format

[pliant bronze]

Uhmm.. So Firstly.. Humbly Asking... Can you Join my team🫶

[split ore]

aboslute cinema is basically "kino" in today's slang

[grizzled wing]

i cannot

maybe it’s cuz I’m a noob but I dont understand distro wars

[split ore]

bro got rejected on #general 😭

[pallid lotus]

Have a look at Commando. Not sure it's maintained these days, granted.

Genuinely though, it's much easier to attack Windows/AD with at least a combination of Linux and Windows, if not just Windows.

Also, watch me install Bash on Windows, or PowerShell on Linux.

[pliant bronze]

does anyone in normal society care if you use shitass linux instead of assshit linux

[pallid lotus]

Is it? I've never seen it lmao

[split ore]

Talking about AD, I agree, though it really comes down to how much you like using certain OS. I switched to linux and I'm not coming back to "dir" commands instead of ls

[split ore]

true, fun to watch too

[grizzled wing]

it is a movie you can watch and just enjoy

[grizzled wing]

oh a missed opportunity for "that's what she said"

[frank cradle]

what makes you think that ?

[glacial cove]

See, in powershell they alias'd "dir" to "ls" to make the Linux users happy

just today my friend's PC wouldn't start VS project because blah blah .net not identified on the system

turned out that VS x64 used .net sdk x32 and wouldn't change it because no

It's Microsoft Java. Like any Microsoft rip off, they somehow managed to make it worse than the original.

hey, do you have any problem with me ?

.NET for maldev is a good way to hand your source code over to IR lmao

[split ore]

chill out man 😂 I'm just joking around

you're the one calling people from out of this earth, arent you?

[glacial cove]

If you make no efforts to obfuscate it at least 😭

[blazing granite]

Everybody gangsta until assembly turns out to be the best solution for malware coding

[pallid lotus]

I mean, end of the day you've got a choice between giving them obfuscated source code, or giving them obfuscated machine code.

I will bury you and fight for you

[pallid lotus]

Personally I would rather give them obfuscated machine code

[frank cradle]

yea, that's because of of crazy opinion

He faked his death

[pallid lotus]

You tried googling that?

[split ore]

reverse shell: you inject a malicious code on target machine and connect back to your attack machine to gain shell access

powershell is just windows upgraded terminal

[pallid lotus]

Really? He was threatening me this morning

he was replaced by a clone

[rapid merlin]

But they're very persistent aint they xD

[wooden totem]

you didn't ask if the ban was server or discord type

[rapid merlin]

Thats what I thought lmao

Was it this server or did discord ban them

[wooden totem]

ig you can see logs

[mossy river]

Why would that change anything? 😆

[unborn swan]

Phone only stuck on terminal 😔 I really need a laptop 😔

[rapid merlin]

I didnt even know discord could ban someone until I saw it mentioned here a while ago

[split ore]

really cool fun fact for today! 🤩

[wooden totem]

slight chance it was a false positive discord ban

[mossy river]

You should probably read the terms of service lol

[mossy river]

They need to take that up with Discord. Even if it's a false positive, they're still violating ToS by signing back up to the service.

[unborn swan]

Broke, phone-learning cyber terminal tough-tips

[rapid merlin]

I'm rarely ever in trouble so I dont think I'll break rules, I got that common sense most of the time.

[blazing granite]

yes, it's secretly malware, like the whole windows 😉 😂

[split ore]

truer words have never been said before

[mossy river]

I mean it's not just about common sense, there are a lot of important things in the ToS.
For example, the Arbitration law for Americans that was changed a year or so ago, and how they handle your data.

Did you know that your behaviour outside of the Discord platform can actually result in termination of your Discord account?

[glacial cove]

Always read your terms of service. The fine print is vicious my friend 💀

[split ore]

then we should go back to IRC

where is THM irc channel

[mossy river]

Go back to IRC for what purpose? 😆
Because your actions outside of Discord can result in termination? That's more on you than it is us

have you ever caught a joke in your life?

why we do not go back using Pidgin messenger with jabber and OTR 🙂

[near sapphire]

dude is chronically online

[rapid merlin]

The discord can tell you about the time I almost died cleaning a toilet not reading the bottle.

[rapid merlin]

Why would I go out when my fridge is here.

[glacial cove]

🗿cultured

[loud marlin]

and yes... i'm that old lol

[glacial cove]

I may not be old much but I've researched forms of comms including it and used it before, I respect it

It's not common enough to find contacts on nor convenient enough to bring new ones though so I haven't been able to do much unfortunately 😢

At least IRC is still somewhat kicking in places like Libera

[crystal moss]

IRC is alive, allot ppl use it..

[glacial cove]

Definitely, there's plenty more networks around. But I've been watching the numbers slowly lessen as the years go on

I think I saw a comic on this at some point, hold on

There we go

[pallid lotus]

You know what the defining feature of a joke is?

[glacial cove]

Love the fact our lecturer uses xkcd posts in his slides lmao

[split ore]

Is this a day of having a stick up your a**?

[pallid lotus]

Nope

The defining feature of a joke is humour

Making a random statement and calling it a joke does not, in fact, make it humorous

[glacial cove]

Fellas, cut it out 🙏

[pallid lotus]

For example, there is zero indication whatsoever that this statement is even meant to be funny:

where is THM irc channel

Cut what out? 😆

[glacial cove]

Y'all bashing heads or am I missing something? I'm confused now

Though mentioning that, unironically, does THM have an IRC channel

[pallid lotus]

I mean, I dunno what Scott's trying to do. I'm just stating the obvious though, personally 🤷‍♂️

It does not

[glacial cove]

Aw shucks

[pallid lotus]

Well, at least no official one. There are probably some unofficial ones

[mint lark]

hello

[glacial cove]

There's an unofficial IRC channel for everything 😔

When it's officially supported is when it's fun because then you have a small cult following

[pallid lotus]

That's how this Discord server was, back in the day

[glacial cove]

I think like 4 or 5 open source projects I use tend to be on IRC still

[glacial cove]

The new may become the norm, but the old will never* shine again sadly

*Unless something very random happens

[loud marlin]

[pallid lotus]

Very true

[sturdy pike]

At what level do you get access to malware analysis room?

[blazing granite]

[sturdy pike]

0x13? or 0xD?

[blazing granite]

shut not the right doc 😂

[sturdy pike]

I mean, I know what are rooms tho

[blazing granite]

I think you need to be legend or higher

[sturdy pike]

Shouldn't it be 0xA minimum as the room is ranked "medium"?

[mossy river]

If you're discussing a specific TryHackMe room, you can ask in #room-help but general questions go in the advanced channels

[sturdy pike]

Not a specific tryhackme room, but in general

[sand trench]

[coarse hedge]

Looks cool and interesting to see it has replaced everything on that desk with the single device that I am using to reply in discord

[near sapphire]

tryhackme should add more events like aoc, im wayy to impatient to wait 1 year

[gray sonnet]

WE NEED TO USE DISCORD!!!

[mossy river]

You mean like hackfinity battle? 🤣

[sturdy pike]

We should have weekly or monthly events

[cloud quiver]

Maybe something short around Easter 🙂

[near sapphire]

but no, more like educational ones all the aoc's i've done are so fun and i learned a lot

[cloud quiver]

It used to be once as far as i can remember 🙂

[near sapphire]

or like during tryhackme's birthday month

#room-help

[crystal moss]

sorry

wrong chanel

[mossy river]

I understand - I can organise smaller monthly community events if that's something people are interested in 😊
Site events to take a lot of planning to setup, and I think having unique events is quite motivating and interesting in different ways

[sick lance]

THm have for the last few years have had atleast one event a year.

Revolving around path releases.

[rapid merlin]

Heck yeah

[kindred yew]

Opportunities to win some THM stickers and swag would be cool...... 😁

[sick lance]

Are stickers back in stock?

[loud marlin]

w8. thm have stickers ?

[mossy river]

I'll be restocking them soon 🚀

[loud marlin]

why i do not see that ?

[glass nest]

Cos you dont need them. You just engrave it on stuff instead

[grizzled wing]

i fill my cup to the Brim
104 points

[sick lance]

Need to search them, it's cause they're out of stock.

[silver sky]

Or just get it tattooed on yourself

[inner goblet]

hey guys

who knows how to use crosh to get passwords on a certain wifi

[sick lance]

hacking Wifi is for our advanced chhannels only

[drifting crest]

Is it possible that you can't record handshakes if you don't have the right adapter?

WifI hacking is for our advanced channels. 😄

Òkay which one?

[sick lance]

Refer to the link I sent 3 messages previous, please 😄

[open wharf]

Okay

[sinful bobcat]

[loud marlin]

dear lord. i just notice my router support wpa3 =/

[gray sonnet]

I'm going to have to refresh my wifi hacking skills, wpa2 first and then wpa3

Gotta read up on wpa3 though

[loud marlin]

wpa3 is hard to crack

[inner walrus]

Anyone got any good ideas as to why I'm only getting 40 download with a brand new cat6 cable and 1000/1000 fiber 🤔

I get 140 with my old cat5 cable but still nowhere near the speed I SHOULD be getting

[loud marlin]

40mb download? check
https://www.speedtest.net/

cable is faster from wifi

[inner walrus]

I get 400 download on WiFi lol

[loud marlin]

got vpn active or smth ?

[inner walrus]

Nope

[loud marlin]

how far you from router ? if is few walls in between than might be

[inner walrus]

I am like 1 meter away from the router

[loud marlin]

that's weird for sure

[modest charm]

can you test with a cable first of all ?

[inner walrus]

Yes the provided screenshot is with cable

[loud marlin]

is me no vpn wifi

[modest charm]

so, where I live theres a lot of bureaucracy, when they first installed the cables in my home, I had to wait some hours for something to happen

then I had my full speed

[inner walrus]

I've lived here for a few weeks now with fiber available 😦

[modest charm]

you are getting a low ping it seems, but speed is locked

honestly if you have that with cable, id call the company

[loud marlin]

all other devices have same result ?

[inner walrus]

Yea I called earlier

[inner walrus]

I get 350-400 download on laptop with wifi

[modest charm]

oh

[inner walrus]

same on my phone

[modest charm]

I didnt read your message properly, im sorry

[inner walrus]

All good 😄

[modest charm]

now I see that you mentioned that before

[inner walrus]

What is even more weird is that my old cat 5 cable gives 140

brand new cat 6 gives me 30-40 which I find weird

[elder peak]

Maybe that new cable is bad

[inner walrus]

yea could be but 140 is still in the low end for 1000/1000

[whole gazelle]

ski 🎿

[loud marlin]

try do speed test with other devices. migt that will show if smth is up to laptop?

[modest charm]

do you have another device which you plug the cable to test ?

that way you would exclude if the problem is the device, the cable or the router

etc

[naive violet]

Three is cool, transition mode is less fun

[inner walrus]

I'll try that

Good idea

yea so my laptop gets 200 download with both cat5 and cat6 and 500 download with WiFi. I'm starting to think the issue is with my network adapter

[loud marlin]

what router you have? Default ISP provided or ?

[inner walrus]

Icotera i4882 wifi 6

[loud marlin]

that is from isp that you get or ?

[inner walrus]

Yes

[loud marlin]

is it have network acceleration as option ? to enble/disable?

@inner walrus is me on cable

[loud marlin]

so far looks ok. as no issue aside devices need to recconect

[naive violet]

Depends if you have the PMFs but it means it's just WPA2 and 3

The secured open part of wpa3 is good

But transition mode less so

Can still cap handshakes etc in the same way

[loud marlin]

just my old laptop does not pick up 5ghz network when on wpa3. for some reason is not visible in network list =/

[inner walrus]

I don't see any network acceleration as an option

[loud marlin]

then myght is up to router it self or not all speed is up from provider... or who knows

[inner walrus]

Yea idk. I called them earlier to get tech support cause clearly something is wrong

I suspect it is my network adapter in my pc tho

[loud marlin]

they can test speed up to you device for sure. and if is ok then is smth else

hence the default isp sux for 99% of time 🙂

[grizzled wing]

🎉

[inner walrus]

yea we'll see I guess

thanks for all your help and input guys

[loud marlin]

np. if you can buy custom router. for sure is better to do so if get some nice one to play with 🙂

[polar spoke]

WPA3 isn't perfect either.... yet 😛

[naive violet]

Still a good improvement at least

[polar spoke]

oh yeah

and if it was used correctly, it'd be reasonably secure

but some implementations leave small field size of m

[loud marlin]

is it better to use hardware acceleration of software one as option ?

[fiery imp]

wazzup guys

[loud marlin]

sky

[silver sky]

Better than WEP

[rapid merlin]

I’ve drunk so much water and I feel so dehydrated

Like my tongue is glued to the top of my mouth

[loud marlin]

to much water can be harmfull

[rapid merlin]

Yeah

But I’m so thirsty

[grizzled wing]

[ drink water reminder 🔔 ]

[loud marlin]

water will come into body/cells soon

if you go pee and is white that means you have enough water in body, if yellow then not so much

[rapid merlin]

I don’t know if you saw the chat or not, if you didn’t that was great timing.

[rapid merlin]

I literally pee after every drink I drink.

It’s awful

[grizzled wing]

i read 'thirsty' then scrolled up haha

[rapid merlin]

My body does not hold water

[loud marlin]

color of pee is indicator

[rapid merlin]

Ngl I don’t inspect my pee 😂 so I don’t know but I can tell you I have had many issues

[grizzled wing]

[ chapstick reminder 🔔 ]

[rapid merlin]

I pee often, too often

[loud marlin]

well.. try it hehe

[rapid merlin]

Omg that’s so weird I just put Vaseline on my lips. 🤣

[loud marlin]

if you eject to much water it can lead to dehydration

[rapid merlin]

Are you in my room veggies

[grizzled wing]

i just put on my Burts Bees chapstick on

[grizzled wing]

no, just oddly on time with reminders haha

[rapid merlin]

Gotta do it in this weather. The cold is no good for my skin or lips fr. I did a sugar scrub a couple days ago on my whole face

[grizzled wing]

ooh those are so nice, luxury skin

[rapid merlin]

Yeah it’s really annoying 😖

[rapid merlin]

Yeah it’s just sugar and coconut oil. It’s home made

[grizzled wing]

whaaaaat homemade skin treatments ?? that can happen hahah

part of the selfcare protocol

[rapid merlin]

The natural stuff is so much better

[grizzled wing]

like uranium natural

[rapid merlin]

And I’m nice and smooth

[grizzled wing]

[knotty fern]

yo guys, should i get chrome os for daily pc and learn visual basic ( all for cyber sec )

[blazing granite]

if you like to be stuck inside a chrome browser go for it. That's how I felt when I used it

I felt claustrophobic

[knotty fern]

what about visual basic programming language

for cyber sec

[sick lance]

Wow,. visual basic, that's old.

[blazing granite]

not in this century 😂

[knotty fern]

i think that chome os + visual basic is the best for cyber sec

[alpine aurora]

I need a hand sudu apt install <file-name> ( have the file in / Downloads is the update for discord but it will not work on my kali 😭
