you put Discord on Kali? why

[blazing granite]

visual basic hasn't been used in something useful and serious for years, and even in the golden age of vb (if were one) that language never matter

Yo guys how can a hacker know and get a server ip ? Like if someone will hack a company should he first hack any router to get into the company network? And then how he get to the server ip (just asking for educational purposes only 🙈)

[grizzled wing]

the hacker starts #start-here for all of the hacking knowledge

[alpine aurora]

wee my laptop is back on discord 😄

[blazing granite]

and also for a friend for sure 😂

[dawn grove]

Yea... not the smartest way of sending a message like that

[alpine aurora]

@grizzled wing weee just need to drag the file in to my termin befor it well work why i do not know D

[grizzled wing]

drag & drop like its hot , glad you found success

[alpine aurora]

allwasy good to have ppl like u all like to help other 😄 thanx

[grizzled wing]

my guess is that you were trying to update a file but did not provide the Goddess of Death and Destruction a path to update so it failed

drag & drop filled in the path for you

[alpine aurora]

ya

[grizzled wing]

now you know

give Kali a path for her destruction

[alpine aurora]

hehe sound just like my X

[grizzled wing]

solve for y

[alpine aurora]

@grizzled wing you ask why discord on kali bc kali is my main os on my laptop and win is online for my 3d print

[grizzled wing]

i suppose you ignored the community feedback on that Kali is meant for VM and not to be a main OS. if you are liking it as such then cool. Why not run Garuda or something cool then have Kali VM ? but anyway, 3D printing, a few people here do that

[alpine aurora]

no no how can i say it in my english ish (v if i have it on my upcoming server) and on my main laptop then i have to learn what is what if you know what i meen

[grizzled wing]

i understand you use Kali as main OS to learn Linux, but Linux is the same across different distributions.

• you do what you want, i just was mentioning that Kali is meant for a VM

[alpine aurora]

ok..

all soo i know ther are a !"#¤ lots of progam install 99% of thm do i not know yey i knoq that ;D but when i do THM step by step i well learn some of them soo that is how i do

ZEBRAS ARE SO COOL

[sand trench]

zebras: the to wild horses we could not tame

[whole gazelle]

like horses but better

[sand trench]

i.e we never successfully tamed zebras and therefor never got a chance to domesticate them

[grizzled wing]

where is Mage haha

[grizzled wing]

yea, was in Jared Diamond's book

[sand trench]

huh shadow got the information by searching youtube late at night

[carmine tinsel]

Guns germs and steel guy?

[grizzled wing]

i learned it years ago in a book about why Europe dominated the world , zebra domestication was example of location of animals not helpful for farming vs europe ox etc

[sand trench]

well said youtube late at night happened back in 2014

sooo technically known if for years too

[grizzled wing]

haha ok

[alpine aurora]

if i have a pdf and i like to read see it in a better way then on a brower what well i do ??

[grizzled wing]

install Flathub on your machine, then find a PDF reader

[sand trench]

new section

[sand trench]

try using zathura

[grizzled wing]

[sand trench]

it is what shadow is using to read extreme privacy 5th edition right now

it can read most common ebook formats

[grizzled wing]

not on flathub
https://github.com/pwmt/zathura

[sand trench]

assuming you are gonna read the ebooks on linux that is

[empty dust]

I need help my pc don’t want to charge te page of truhackme.com

[grizzled wing]

requires a 🥷

[alpine aurora]

me who do u know that

[blazing granite]

why you need to install flathub for a pdf reader, okular or something similar is installed with the core of the system, isn't that good enough?

[empty dust]

I need help my pc don’t want to charge te page of truhackme.com and I’m not verified

[grizzled wing]

i was guess that other PDF readers might be of interest

[alpine aurora]

i only see the pdf in the browser

[wooden totem]

It always makes me uncomfortable when a numbered thing has the number as a word, just say section 7 it's easier to remember

[desert shuttle]

okular is good enough

[grizzled wing]

okular wins

[sand trench]

yeah for most people okular should work

[blazing granite]

that's because it's set by default not because you don't have a pdf reader

[grizzled wing]

not everyone absorbs shadows

[sand trench]

shadow just likes the workflow of zathura more

https://www.qobuz.com/se-en/album/fimbulvinter-brothers-of-metal/h3sm9qwc4ikhc

between all the soft in your linux probably is okular try it, if you don't like it you can install whatever you want, but it's not a good practice just install things willy-nilly

Interesting. I love his story. He seems like someone I can actually be friends. People paint him as this very dangerous guy I think he’s misunderstood. People need to understand his message more.

I like the podcast first time hearing of him and watching it

[alpine aurora]

the task bar in the butten on kali how do u lock it so i dont move the apps

[wary ocean]

tbf he is fairly dangerous but also has morals which evens out, not evil tho

[carmine tinsel]

he has imposter syndrome?!?!

How does one get roles here-

But double the food to enjoy

[alpine aurora]

[silver sky]

Are you using it as a general OS?

[alpine aurora]

[alpine aurora]

i have dule boot on my lap

[silver sky]

https://www.kali.org/faq/#can-i-use-kali-linux-as-a-daily-generic-linux-system

If you are going to use it as a daily driver, at least follow what they say to do

Otherwise you're just asking for trouble

[stuck idol]

Hello all.
I have a quick question regarding the timestamp for the “Yearly activity” functionality in the Dashboard. During the last week I’ve been trying to complete a room every day, but if I have some activity in my morning and then some other activities in the evening, those will be tracked in different days. Does somebody know what is the server’s time zone?

[grizzled wing]

THM server is in UK time

[stuck idol]

I don’t understand. Right now is 12:28am, March 12 (In UK) and I just started an attackbox, went to check the yearly activity and it is showing me the event in March 11

It makes no sense for me 🥲

[mossy river]

Your timezone on your account is set to colombia

[stuck idol]

Yes, but I am 101% sure that I finished a room yesterday in the morning but the server tracked my activity in March 9. It is evening now in Colombia, and I wasn’t able to progress any room today until just now, but it is tracking the activity for March 11 and leaving March 10 empty

Just to be clear, I’m not complaining, I just want to understand the timezone so I can make progress be visible every day

[mossy river]

Your timezone should match the timezone of the country flag on your account

If you think your events aren't tracking properly, try contacting [e-mail] :)

[glacial pine]

Hiiii

[sullen flame]

Hello Ive just finished the pre-security path and will now start the 101 path. What a fascinating world this is

[topaz skiff]

hope you enjoy the paths~ there's a lot of fun things out there to learn

[blazing granite]

be thankful you still connect to discord 😂

[chilly veldt]

I'm connected to discord on my phone through VPN

Nothing touches the laptop outside of testing stuff

[blazing granite]

better safe than sorry 🙂

[grizzled wing]

finally finished that room

[blazing granite]

I was for a week there a while back 🙂

[blazing granite]

I did a few wireshark rooms those are fun, I love wireshark

[grizzled wing]

[frosty thunder]

tcpdump is cooler

[blazing granite]

different uses, tcpdump is more for a quick captures and scripting, wireshark is for more detail analysis

[chilly veldt]

Yup

Great job 🙂 🔥

Should I use a ssd for protesting

Pentesting

[devout condor]

why not?

sure

[devout condor]

i swear i read pentesting lol

[blazing granite]

there is not should, you use what you have, ssd are becoming more common nowadays so you probably have an ssd, but that doesn't mean have to, or should. Make do with what you have, that resourcefulness can make you good in the real world, because out there you have to think on your feet, 9 out of 10 thing won't go the way you planned

[devout condor]

TLDR: yes, or whatever

xD

[fading ermine]

But I'm using my dads laptop

[devout condor]

no problem at all

use vmware

and thm machines

ez

[fading ermine]

Won't let me download stuff on his laptop

[devout condor]

so use THM machines

u dont need to download anything

[blazing granite]

so don't download anything just use the attack box on thm

[grizzled wing]

THM has browser based VM machines, i use them

no reason to not hack and learn

[quartz flame]

Need some advice on directory brute forcing

Target website seems to block automated tools like ffuf or dirb but manually checking the urls it works so the directories exist, I suspect a firewall/Waf Is blocking the tools

Tried everything but nothing

[mossy river]

Which CTF

[wintry flower]

Urchinsec out of thm

Any tips to bypass protection or alternative methods

[wintry flower]

Yeah

To join it needs registration code which you need to enum the web to get it

Best to ask in their Discord server 🙂

[blazing granite]

that was your isp modem?

[alpine aurora]

ya

[torn spindle]

did support read an email?

[blazing granite]

don't do that, because it doesn't belong to you belongs to the isp, so you have not auth to do things like that. It can get you in troubles

[torn spindle]

💀 just asked for clarification if there is compensation or not 💀

[alpine aurora]

ohh i didt think off that thanx for the wake up call

@blazing granite IOU

@blazing granite if i buy a TP-Link Archer AX3000 router AX58 then its ok right

[young nebula]

where can i get a account password reset link

[alpine aurora]

come agin

[fallen remnant]

You need a link to reset your password?

[young nebula]

password reset link for login is broke and dont send email

yes

please and thank you

[steady pewter]

contact support then.

[blazing granite]

@alpine aurora rule of thumb is you don't own it, don't mess with it, services like internet, mail, etc. Even if you pay for it, you don't own the soft/hardware you just paying for the service

[young nebula]

site-support... no support admins in here?

[alpine aurora]

true didt think like that whit "my" modem

[blazing granite]

if this about your thm account you can contact support at [e-mail]

[steady pewter]

yeah.

[young nebula]

rgr

thx

[alpine aurora]

https://tryhackme.com/forgot

[young nebula]

they taking for ever for reponse

[blazing granite]

it's not really yours the company lend you that device so you can use the service you're paying for

[young nebula]

yeah that link is bs.

[steady pewter]

Well yeah, support is like that..

[young nebula]

waiting all day for the reset email to come in

this has happened before ... i had to come here for reset

thanks though

[blazing granite]

they can take up 7 to 10 business days, your mail is not the only one they recived 🙂

[alpine aurora]

i know you know when u in the zone and ur brain dont think all the way 😄

[young nebula]

thast freaking rediculous.

[steady pewter]

and they're only human beings.

[young nebula]

lmfao

[blazing granite]

this discord is not for support issues, it's just for the community

[young nebula]

automation

no worries ... i get that ... i thought maybe a admin was in here cause they aint in the site-support channel either...

no worries thanks. s

[blazing granite]

apparently you never had worked in customer service or tech support 🙂

[young nebula]

neither have you then. why have a password reset link and it not work

does every site hae human intervention for password reset or just thm

hello

[alpine aurora]

abut tech suport like to hear some fun

[young nebula]

stop being dumb

[steady pewter]

Sometimes things break.

[young nebula]

dude for years that link has never worked

[blazing granite]

Actually I did for a few companies, that's why I'm telling you

[young nebula]

ssssssshhhhhhh you dont knwo

[cloud quiver]

Please behave 🙂

@blazing granite 10 years ago i use to work for a ISP as tech sup 😄

[steady pewter]

alright, have good night.

[blazing granite]

@mossy river do you want to take this, if you're around?

[celest dirge]

Not rex, but I'm curious how that went? What was it like for you and how was it?

[mossy river]

That's not a very respectful way to talk to people is it? 😓

[blazing granite]

And you didn't know that you don't own the device, that's weird

@mossy river apparently he got a bit angry because support didn't answer his email right away 🙂

[alpine aurora]

well easy monny online sup in windows and it was try tune it off and wait 15 sec for ther tv box or the modem

[celest dirge]

If it were me, I wouldn't get mad if support took long, different timezone and probably stumped with a lot of tickets/workload

[steady pewter]

I'd probably just forget 😅

[young nebula]

see you not even gettting the point of the isssue.. lol hilarous.... the password reset link does not work it has never worked .... no response in the site-support side .... looking for admin is all i was asking for

[haughty snow]

hello. I'm thinking of getting back into ethical hacking after 3 years(i wasnt too much of a pro, just spent a bit of time on THM). I had the cyber mentor's practical ethical hacking udemy course from 2019. I was wondering if i should learn from that or one of the more recent youtube courses? or is there any other good resource for learning? thanks

[alpine aurora]

try be the only one a work and a que on 150 -200 in 1 1/2h 😄

[steady pewter]

I could probably take it, but also might just fail.

[celest dirge]

That's pretty cool, I'm currently applying for IT support internships my college's career center offers, whilst relearning basic IT fundamentals.

[blazing granite]

some people think that their are special and the only people in this earth so they deserve an answer right away 😂 common issue in customer service/tech support

i just have (internet/tv) from a danish isp soo the job ther was easy

[steady pewter]

huh.

[alpine aurora]

i use to put pc togather back in the days

[young nebula]

your injection is baseless and pointless. the fact that the link has never worked is the real issue... the fact that ya gotta get a human to reset the password is rediculouse.. if you cant see that as teh root cause then there no help

[haughty snow]

would the old one be severely outdated? or can i use most of what is taught there

[mossy river]

Doesn't mean you can be rude to anyone in the community or support team.

[blazing granite]

back in the day? I did it last week 😂

[young nebula]

no one is being rude

[steady pewter]

I did it this morning

[mossy river]

"stop being dumb"

[cloud quiver]

Check it out it won't hurt anything . Concepts usually stay the same only tools get updated from time to time 🙂

[alpine aurora]

I had internet and TV so it was actually a very easy job.

[young nebula]

if you aint gonna read the statment and jsut resend me the reset link then yeah thats being dumb

[sand mason]

Do you use a collapsible computer or something lmao

[alpine aurora]

i have not done it in 10y

[steady pewter]

No, more like server maintenance of my own stuff. Those K80s will give you a very hard time, so...

[mossy river]

That is being rude.

[haughty snow]

oh okay 👍 guess imma finish that first, its just 22 hours or something

[alpine aurora]

k80s = what

[sand mason]

How is it dealing with those? I've seen em but never messed around

[young nebula]

no that is speaking the truth

plainly

[cloud quiver]

Give it a go 🙂 . Also THM has a plenty of free content you can check it out also .

[steady pewter]

Tesla K80s are a very old NVIDIA GPU-accelerator.

[blazing granite]

I enjoy it, putting all the pieces together and then watch it turn on and work 🙂

[mossy river]

Truth or not, it doesn't mean you get to be rude to anyone 🙂

[young nebula]

would you like me to hold there hand through it even more

[alpine aurora]

me2

[young nebula]

asked for an admin to help with password reset are you that admin

[steady pewter]

Imagine dealing with nonstop package managers, NVIDIA .run drivers, and much more, then they don't work as you scream at the screen because CUDNN isn't working anymore, go to bed, wake up in a panic knowing exactly what went wrong and then your fix finally works.

[mossy river]

I hope you're aware that your conduct in the Discord community may result in removal from the platform @young nebula

[young nebula]

absolute power currupts absolutly

[mossy river]

You need to wait for report to respond to you for account-related problems.
We are unable to help you via Discord because of confidentiality and security concerns.

[sand mason]

The half asleep eurkeas are real af tho

[young nebula]

where is the bug report link to submit request to fix the password resset link again

[alpine aurora]

ther is no THM admins here try the www i give you

[mossy river]

#1333993673381253162

[young nebula]

so jabba aint an admin and has no power

[steady pewter]

Yeah, most say it can't be maintained and run for a long time. I've had no problems (other than well...everything,) and uh, still trying to figure out a new VBIOS for it so I can finally run it much more efficiently, as I believe that it's not just the hardware, but also the code DRIVING the hardware.

[steady pewter]

not..exactly?

[sand mason]

That sounds like such a pain tbh lmao. Are the results at least worth the work?

[alpine aurora]

@blazing granite is ther a place to try useing hydra wher its a litte bitte hader ?+

[steady pewter]

Yes.

It's worth it always.

But for me, any small victory is enough.

[blazing granite]

check the THM, I don't remember for the top of my head but it has to be a few room where you can use hydra

use the seach function

[sand mason]

This. I swear this is the same energy that makes programming feel so rewarding

[steady pewter]

4096 CUDA cores is what I work for, and it may (or may not) be a small number, but it's my VRAM that matters to me. (24GBs)

[blazing granite]

@alpine aurora Also I'm pretty sure that there is a room that teach you how to use hydra too 🙂

[steady pewter]

So I can run large models, and/or train very small models very fast.

Sometimes at the same time.

[alpine aurora]

im abut to get mad (HackPark’ is a Premium room) is poping up all the time

[blazing granite]

time to go people! bye 💤

[alpine aurora]

me2

[steady pewter]

good night GNU-🦖

[alpine aurora]

gn all

[sand mason]

That's fire. Im still a complete scrub with the AI stuff but I get the concept, like you have to generate tokens for it to process the data. Is that like a way you would measure speed for ai training? Like tokens per n?

[steady pewter]

Well, actually, I don't really measure the speed of my neural networks.

And bonus tip:
Neural networks train fastest on hardware like mine when you train in batches rather than individual tensors.

But that's a bit universal..

[sand mason]

Oooooo. What models have you been messing around with lately?

I'm assuming you're refining premade models

[steady pewter]

I've been messing around with my own models, which recently includes a chess engine that uses quantum computing.

But for premade ones, I'd have to say..GPT2, because it was much better, and open source.

[steady pewter]

But unfortunately qiskit doesn't want to work on python3.10 (i.e., the python distro my Tesla K80 works on, so.. )

Good news is that if I can figure out how to either A. reimplement kepler GPUs into Torch or B. Make my own AI framework and GPU drivers
I'd be all good to go!

[steady pewter]

What is this? Oh no, you hacked my virtual cam, good thing I have OBS looping this video!

[faint grove]

anyone know how to log into any tt account w/o the psw?

[mossy river]

You can't, the service's authentication function requires a valid username and password to be able to access the account.

[faint grove]

oh ok

[young nebula]

..... xoxoxo hydra for the W

lol

just for future reference it is extremly rude to tell some one to use the link that they just said was broken.... I do apologize to you for calling you dumb that was also extremly rude i realize you was only trying to help. 12hrs later no response no reset link is horrible customer service ... the link has not worked since 2023 the last time i had to reset my passwd. xoxoxo please forgive my rudeness that extended from my frustration..... have a wonderful evening!

[mossy river]

Customers service is not open 24/7 🙂
It is also a message queue service, which means you are put into a queue and you will be moved back up the queue if you keep on updating the ticket.

[young nebula]

xoxoxox

reset link should be fixed

[split plover]

Dude, this is the app I was able to create using AI "https://7e4a9afe-474a-4ec6-b81d-ea67861341b1-00-2rx23x01mjch.janeway.replit.dev/".

software engineers are fckd?

anyone up to give it a try? tell me how it is?

some feedback?

[mossy river]

Not really

It looks really nice and it pretty surprisingly if you only copied and pasted from AI

However, I just uploaded a picture of John Pork without even needing to mess with the request 🤣

[mellow narwhal]

AI has a long way to go to replace software engineers lol

[split plover]

what did it return ?

[mossy river]

It claimed to have processed my email perfectly fine

[split plover]

i meant freshers ain't getting any chance. But yeah people with decades of experience are defo needed.

[split plover]

ah, I think it is still impressive. It lit tool like 7-10 minutes. And the gui is soo good. The report also looks interesting. I'm lit schocked cuz i did not expect it to create this tool that easily

[mellow narwhal]

I think its somewhat good

You do need to fine tune the accuracy though

my email content:

(i wrote it myself for fun, of course 🤣 )

[split plover]

lol

interesting!

Tbh, i am not good at coding. So i have no idea how i can improve it. I am still messing around with python.

Well thanks anyways!

[mellow narwhal]

I mean the challenge lies in the accuracy part of it, not the coding part

You need to understand data science more for getting it. Coding it in Python after that is easy

[muted cloak]

Question: You could preconstruct an md5 dictionary where you already have a set of plain words and their respective md5 encodings and then, say, let a python function read that dictionary for quick reference, correct?
I imagine crafting a message out of a predefined set of words, encrypting them to md5, and then sending the md5 text to a recipient who uses the dictionary to quickly reconstruct the plaintext.

[mossy river]

Yes, I believe this is what SearchThatHash does 🙂

[rapid merlin]

👋

[mossy river]

https://github.com/bee-san/Search-That-Hash

[muted cloak]

Oop. Was planning to try this out on my family the next time they try sending codes over text but I guess that work's done for me already

[alpine aurora]

ei miss you all ;D

[muted cloak]

Also, I should probably ask while I'm at it: How useful is this website? https://osintframework.com/

Compared to say, maybe Owasp. Or are they tools for different purposes?

[alpine aurora]

some one have the link howto connet vm to thm ?

[mossy river]

It's all covered on https://tryhackme.com/access 🙂

[alpine aurora]

ya that is the vpn

[muted cloak]

I tried downloading this on Kalilinux, currently testing it...apparently it can't crack my md5 for "Hashbrown".

[mossy river]

It's not cracking

It's just looking up your hash in a database

[muted cloak]

So Hashbrown does not exist in any database?

[mossy river]

Not necessarily, just their database

[muted cloak]

Guess I'll have to check what words are available then

[mellow narwhal]

Cracking is by trying out combinations for each letter afaik

[muted cloak]

Isn't md5 block encryption? Not one-to-one encryption?

actually wait nvm google tells me I'm dumb since it's not encryption at all

[mellow narwhal]

Its not encryption yeah

its a hash function

encryption typically implies that you can decrypt the said encryption

which in this case, you cant

[dawn palm]

A question for those who are advanced or already working, I'm looking to start pentesting. Does the course provide everything necessary to get started?

[mellow narwhal]

for this particular hash, it takes around 15 hours on a slow gpu

maybe a couple of hours on a good one?

[mossy river]

Well

Depends on your wordlist

[mellow narwhal]

assuming that you're bruteforcing it

as in, from aaaaaaaaa to ZZZZZZZZZ, assuming only capital and lowercase letters

so the maximum combinations would be 52^9

which would be uh... 10,868,019,906,430,592

[muted cloak]

I mean, I put it on a VM with only 2 cores so I don't think I can get it to run on my GPU

Anyway, I think I'll just try making a toy program out of hybrid encryption since that seems more practical and actually closer to what happens in irl comms

[mossy river]

You usually have to passthrough the GPU to your VM anyway

It's better to just crack hashes on your host machine

[muted cloak]

We usually work with alphanumeric alongside mixing the upper and lowercase so yeah, brute force decryption for hashes is probably not going to be feasible. I have a PC that might be able to pull it off but compared to it, the rest of my family runs on potatoes.

[naive violet]

Pure bruteforce is uncommon.
Wordlists with rules is the usual way to do it. Humans aren't good at passwords.

[mossy river]

I genuinely don't know how to get a high grade on this assignment when the word count is 2500 words and the detail they expect in the Executive Summary is almost 1000

[naive violet]

Pt report?

[mossy river]

It's supposed to be an incident analysis report

I wrote the entire report as a normal incident analysis and I was 2x the word count, now that I've stripped literally everything, I'm still over +10%

[naive violet]

Strikes me as too much content for an executive summary though, by a long way

[mossy river]

It is, however the brief has expectations for what to include in the executive summary

[polar spoke]

This

[mossy river]

Funnily enough the executive summary also has an executive summary subheading

My course's department actually refunded part of the 2nd year due to quality issues, honestly they need to review all 3 years of content

[polar spoke]

Kinda, kinda not

Lookup tables for hashes can be made, but become wildly large long before they are useful

Rainbowtables, which are different and much more storage efficient, can also be made but they are very computationally expensive to produce and still huge

[rapid merlin]

rainbow tables become even more useless when a random salt is used

[polar spoke]

Sure, though that doesn’t apply directly to his idea

[rapid merlin]

oh yes 👍

[polar spoke]

Really the concept of using hashes to “protect” a message just doesn’t make much sense unfortunately

[rapid merlin]

I like the combo of encrypt, hash, and sign

even better is an AEAD

[polar spoke]

You would be effectively producing a pre-shared key of sorts, which makes the entire use of the hashing completely redundant

If both sides need a lookup table to reconstruct the messages, you could make the “ciphertext” whatever you want

It doesn’t need to be a hash at that point

[rapid merlin]

DH can be useful for key generation

[polar spoke]

DH is for key exchange

Not really generation

[rapid merlin]

true

generating a shared secret etc.

swapping public keys at runtime vs hardcoding a preshared key

still need to verify them though

[polar spoke]

Kinda

DHKE relies on both sides agreeing on parameters and creating their own shared values

[rapid merlin]

true

[polar spoke]

The end result is still a shared symmetric key though, so I guess that’s relevant

[brisk pendant]

[muted cloak]

rainbow tables, essentially, right?

slr was going over notes

[naive violet]

No, very different

[muted cloak]

I'm basically cramming for midterms, if you can call chasing every single rabbit hole I can find "cramming"

I've gone through all the surface notes and now I'm just seeing how far I can dive with each topic

Probably going a little too far but eh, cybersec's basically a bunch of rabbit holes from the superficial dabbling I've done

[polar shale]

Guy usually usees password of "Thunder2002" but from previous breaches you know he adds a special character so you just append a random special character to each entry in the same thunder2002 wordlist

With MFA becoming increasingly popular it seems ime more and more btuteforce is more applicable to enumeration and maybe even IoT / hardware things than say account take over

[rapid merlin]

Are you the one that rises 😆

[mossy river]

unfortunately

[muted cloak]

enumeration?

Please don't promote here

[wooden totem]

Unfortunately I watched the show in 2014 not 2008

[lavish socket]

Oh I’m super sorry! I apologize

[naive violet]

Online bruteforce is very different to hash cracking anyway

[naive violet]

Do you have faith in the reboot being good tho?

[mossy river]

Given that Dan Povenmire is still heading it, yes

[naive violet]

Good news

[muted cloak]

How so?

[naive violet]

Online brute force, you're sending passwords to a server. The server limits you, and you have to worry about detection and lockout

If you have a hash, you don't have to interact with anything to crack it

You could type it out and crack it on a box that isn't networked at all, completely offline, no interaction with services

[near sapphire]

oohh nice

https://tenor.com/view/summer-vacation-calendar-flies-fast-gif-12236536

[muted cloak]

So basically, enumerating allows you to potentially learn their password, which even if it doesn't on its own grant you access, gives you something that might contribute to access?

or give an avenue of attack to some other point? (for instance, if they used the same password on another site)

(Completely novice questions but I do want to make sure I'm comprehending everything I'm running through correctly)

[naive violet]

enumeration is not about passwords

[polar shale]

Im a little out of context lol its 328a here

[mental fiber]

Good afternoon everyone

U guys think some coding skills necessary for hacking?
or is it enough if I can read code and understand its meaning?
It's been a while since I started coding again, but it feels so difficult to me 😦

[sick lance]

Being able to write code is good, but being able to read code is more important imo.

There is so many tools you're going to use, and old exploits, it's useful to see where it's going wrong, it it's going wrong.

[muted cloak]

part of me does wonder how to go from working with python in a kali VM to working with C++, but I suppose most stuff worth attacking is using something like JS or PHP, or frameworks that use more high-level language (like python)

[mental fiber]

Thank you for your advises!

Okay lol

[plush forge]

quic question

(natalia) NOPASSWD: /bin/bash this is the output of sudo -l. what does it mean? i no what NOPASSWD means in a vaccuu,m, but whta doieess it mean ewhen a name gets added to it?

[cold veldt]

it means you can run user 'natalia' with no password

[plush forge]

so slike.. sudo su natalia?

then what does the /bin/bash mean?

[burnt ginkgo]

yea

[cold veldt]

you can do it in /bin/bash

[plush forge]

so.. cd bin/bash ansd then the command, or like.. write a bash script about it?

[plush forge]

because this is still asking me for a password

[cold veldt]

try sudo /bin/bash

[plush forge]

Sorry, user anna is not allowed to execute '/bin/bash' as root on venus.

[burnt ginkgo]

you just can login in a bash with natalia

without a password

[civic egret]

You can execute as Natalia not root

sudo -u natalia /bin/bash

[civic egret]

Sudo allows you to execute something as another user. By default that's the root user but you can use the -u flag to choose another user on the system. In this case natalia

[mossy river]

Yw!

[plush forge]

so can anyone explain to me how to read the output of sudo -l commands? im painfully lacking

[civic egret]

Cool website btw

bash is just the executable you are running

it's in the bin folder

[glossy jungle]

Guys. When should i start doing challenges? I'm at authentication bypass room on the jr penetration tester path and I would like to train and apply the things I have learned so far.

But i don't know if my actual knowledge are enough

[sick lance]

You can search for CTF's on content you've done, or finish the the path, there is CTf's dedicated to the content you've learned in them at the end.

[glossy jungle]

Eeeehm what is a ctf

[sturdy pike]

Why can I answer the questions in the room without reading much (I read all of it anyways)

[sturdy pike]

I once watched a documentary about the market there a few years ago and a few apps were mentioned as their "daily staple" these two were in it, there were others but they're not as popular.

[sick lance]

Swap out CTF and replace it with challenge room.

[glossy jungle]

So ctf are challenges room. But where i can find the rights ones for me

[sick lance]

I can't answer that, I don't know what you've learned etc,

[glossy jungle]

I've tried dreaming room but i think it was still too advanced.

[glossy jungle]

I'm at the 4th room of jr penetration tester path

Exluding intro to cybersecurity and Intro to pentesting

[sick lance]

Then have a look at previous rooms, and see what you can do.

[whole gazelle]

appreciate you FUG1511

[chilly veldt]

Yeah, alipay is really a go to app, you just sit down scan a qr code at the restaurant, order and pay from there, universal, same in 7-eleven, just scan what you order and pay through app

[rapid merlin]

Hi!
I had a payment issue. My payment is due since 6th March, but instead of paying monthly, I'd like to upgrade to annual directly from today! Is it possible? Or do I have to pay monthly fees first to upgrade to annual?

I love how all these people are making tea time alarm videos

Of course us Brits have a tea time alarm. How else would be know when to get our tea 🙄

[tardy garden]

[sick lance]

Osi model.

[round smelt]

Anyone know how to get coupons?

[sick lance]

For what?

[round smelt]

Monthly plan

[sick lance]

There is no coupons for monthly plan.

Only annual.

how to know if this is still on-going and its not yet too late? 😦

Be among the first 100 to get certified and receive a limited-edition certificate package!

[sick lance]

I think THM would put out an announcemnt

[grim sparrow]

Done!

[jade willow]

yo guys, anyone here who I can ask some questions? not mainly about hacking, but about a system32 drivers folder?

[plush forge]

whats teh command to find executables you can run again? im trying to check for PATH

[shut hawk]

echo $PATH

[sick lance]

What's the question?

[shut hawk]

It's a variable

[plush forge]

no ythe otehr thing- im at the step where you check what binaries have weird paths in them

[jade willow]

may I dm it to u?

[plush forge]

so i need to check the list of executables, no?

[sick lance]

No, you can ask in here.

[shut hawk]

Not quite sure what you mean, could you provide more information?

Are you trying to figure out what linked libraries the exec uses?

[plush forge]

to do path privesc you need a non-abbsolute path in a binary, right?

so taht you can then inject your own thing in there

[shut hawk]

Oh right

On windows, correct?

[plush forge]

linux

[shut hawk]

🤔

[jade willow]

alr so I gotta be fr here: bought a cheese for a game, got a scrappy loader download etc, worked alr tho to the point where they told me to rename my "etc" folder which is located at "C:\Windows\System32\drivers" to "etc2" and delete it, then afterwards restart my computer. and I am not the brightest, but ik that restarting your computer can do a lot of damage, so I didnt restart it yet. am I fine or fxcked?
Basically whats the folder for and what damage can be done?

[plush forge]

isnt it generally a capital-b Bad Idea to screw with your system32?

[sick lance]

You downloaded game cheats, basically?

[shut hawk]

It is

[shut hawk]

That is definitely odd, did you delete the folder?

[jade willow]

yup, well I bought the key, they sent me a download link for the loader and thats where they asked me all that for

[shut hawk]

As it goes without saying, that wasn't the best idea

[jade willow]

yeah I deleted all of it, as I said not the brightest but I couldnt make up what it could have to do with the "etc" folder

[modest charm]

never do stuff you are not sure directly on your machine, thats what VMs are for

[shut hawk]

I believe it holds the host file

[chilly veldt]

Does China block OpenVPN, I can't remember

Cause it doesn't block Mullvad as far as I know (I'm on Mullvad right now)

[plush forge]

okay how do i describe this poath biz?

[jade willow]

Ill just keep it deleted and hope I am fine ig lol

[shut hawk]

It blocks either just UDP or TCP

[opaque flax]

It holds more than that

[shut hawk]

I don't deny that

[plush forge]

you find the path folder. thhen you find any unusual binaries you can run

if those binaries have nn-sbaolute paths, you put your own excecytable in the way

[chilly veldt]

Hmmmmmm, I need to find a way around this for work

[sick lance]

Are you referring to sudo -l?

[plush forge]

i just need to find the binaries i can run

[plush forge]

no, its some find command

[sick lance]

Not the subject for here 😄

[plush forge]

i just dont remember teh specifics

[sick lance]

Find file ?

[shut hawk]

Find with SUID bit set?

[plush forge]

maybe like find file priv x=u or whatever taht was

[opaque flax]

Also hosts doesn’t block just update or tcp or ups it defines dns at the first place the computer checks for dns entries

[chilly veldt]

I know, just needed to hear if anyone knew what they block 😅

[plush forge]

maybe?

[sick lance]

find / -type f -perm -04000 -ls 2>/dev/null

[shut hawk]

That was in reply to Bella's message :)

[sick lance]

China block a few things with firewalls.

[opaque flax]

Ah sorry

[shut hawk]

All good

[chilly veldt]

Indeed, I have found out the hard way 🤣

[sick lance]

I could have told you that before you went. 😄

[chilly veldt]

Not that it blocks our specific products

[upper minnow]

@plush forge drop them OH fics

[sick lance]

#general message

[sick lance]

Isn't that the whole point of you going to China?

[plush forge]

might be it, thanks?

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sick lance (current: #2 - 3504)

[chilly veldt]

It is, to find out if they block and how to get around it for customers

[plush forge]

i remmber it looking different though. i should really just learn the specific syntax of find better

[sick lance]

Or take notes 😄

But that command should do what you need.

[plush forge]

i did have notes but i cant find tehm

[sick lance]

Which game cheats did you get for this sort of action?

[jade willow]

rainbow 6 ones

[sick lance]

Ah, so you're breaking ToS.

That's enough discussion regarding this. 😄

[jade willow]

so do I expect a ban now

[sick lance]

I can't ban you from ro6.

[median gate]

Hi, is SAL1 exam open book? Meaning we can use any resource we want during the exam?

[jade willow]

nono, I meant the server

[sick lance]

Within reason

[sick lance]

Only if you discuss it further.

[jade willow]

fair, thanks

[twin ridge]

[upper minnow]

technically you could have a real SOC giving you the answers and no one would know

[brisk pendant]

I have question guys,AFter i finish the Free roadmap What do you guys recommend me doing after it

[median gate]

What do you mean?

[upper minnow]

you can do whatever you want since its not proctored

[sick lance]

As a security company, we take cheating prevention seriously. Our team of security experts has rigorously tested the exam for potential vulnerabilities and cheating opportunities, and we will continuously strengthen our defences. To protect the integrity of the certification, we’ve implemented multiple safeguards, including randomized questions and scenarios, rotation strategies to minimize exposure, and strict identity verification. Our staff also conducts random spot checks to detect and deter dishonest behavior. Anyone caught cheating will have their certification revoked and be permanently banned. Our goal is to ensure that earning this certification remains a meaningful achievement, demonstrating real knowledge and readiness for the field.

Take from that what you will. 🙂

[oblique furnace]

Day 40 (i missed Day 39 but THM counted it anyway)

[rapid merlin]

Contact your bank's customer support, tell them the issue and ask them to validate tryhackme. They may have blacklisted it for suspicious activity. It worked for me, my payment is done

[rapid merlin]

I would prefer before completing all the free path modules, start from pre security which is not completely paid but only some modules in the path are required a subscription 😀

[frosty thunder]

I do not.

And I can't answer about the second question, I don't know how THM catch cheaters.

[blissful current]

Here's my miau

just reverse shell and monitor their system ig

[frank agate]

guys i wanna start doing ctf but i have no idea what to do

[rapid merlin]

Gorgeous

[shut hawk]

FINALLY

[frank agate]

any tips?

[slow cloud]

i think they would have better ways of detecting cheaters

[shut hawk]

checkout this website called tryhackme

[frank agate]

nah but like

[shut hawk]

lol they're not gonna put a revshell on your machine

[frank agate]

the competition stuff

[slow cloud]

do you have IT knowlegde?

[shut hawk]

my advice still applies

[slow cloud]

/cybersec knowlegde?

[frank agate]

i’ve done the pre security

and one other one

[slow cloud]

cyber 101

[shut hawk]

THM, HTB, Pico, overthewire, pwn.college

[frank agate]

yeah yeah

[sick lance]

hackmyvm also.

[slow cloud]

have you done some challenge rooms on thm? those are pretty much ctfs

[modest thicket]

haha i was being completely unserious mate sorry

[shut hawk]

mostly all CTFs aren't at all like real life, and the more you do of them the better your intuition gets

[frank agate]

i’ve tried light but got confused

[rapid merlin]

Also socks never lost his spots and stripes!? Can you believe it. His eyes still have a blue ring around them so who knows if it will go or not

[shut hawk]

ahaha no worries, hard to convey over text

[sick lance]

If they did put a revshell on your machine, you'd fail the SoC exam, nevermind being caught cheating.

Don't know how you can cheat at an open book exam anyway, with the exception of having somebody else sit the exam.

[rapid merlin]

How’s your cat?

[slow cloud]

banish him

[grim sparrow]

Done!

[sick lance]

I almost banned you.

[dire sorrel]

This might sound silly, but I'm currently doing a threat intel room and need to examine files but obviously dont have internet access on the attack box. What is the easiest way to get these files to my local system?

[sick lance]

We don't suggest placing them on your host system, incase somethign goes wrong.

A menace!

[dire sorrel]

How do I exam the files then 😦

[sick lance]

^ that was to you.

[sick lance]

Use the tools on the machine.

[dire sorrel]

Wants me to use Talos, phishtool tho

[rapid merlin]

Aha so is mine

[rapid merlin]

People have said my cat has adhd like me

😆

You don't need to use phishtool, you can use Thunderbird mail client, just cancel when it asks for creds.

i try to sleep 8

[polar shale]

6 minimum but somtimes 8

get your sleep and water people the grind can wait dont cook

[blissful current]

around 3am (Engg student lyf)

[modest thicket]

fun fact: polyphasic sleep cycles may be the meta sleep cycle. they say leonardo da vinci and Nikola Tesla slept like this. its sleeping in 4hr intervals

[polar shale]

heard if this but did they really ? Was there documentation for this intheir writings?

[modest thicket]

not sure.. good question

i also read somewhere that irregular sleep cycles were common for much of human history. wake up at midnight to stoke fire, check on animals, etc. not sure if its bs.. just something that was interesting to me.

Why can't I set a new password via

I've already searched for it, but I can't find anything more than “Local system can't do everything”, or I'm too stupid to search. I thougth Local System can do anything.
