[rapid merlin]

I just realized that it wasn’t a joke it was real that the root.txt is It wasn't that hard, was it?🙏

[daring gull]

No, I mean at home

[shut moon]

free voucher for SAL1 if u have BTL1

[ashen marsh]

do u think spending time and learning these language is worth itPython , X86 , c/c++, SQL, JS

[daring gull]

can you recommend some?

[eternal timber]

Depends on your goals

[grizzled wing]

🛡️ Bitwarden

[daring gull]

ohh

[grizzled wing]

🐍 Python is widespread, it is swiss army knife language

[daring gull]

okay

[ashen marsh]

in what way are u saying can u elaborate a bit more

[grizzled wing]

🗒️ passwords is unsafe

[daring gull]

is proton pass ok?

[grizzled wing]

proton is good

electrons even better haha

[daring gull]

😭

[blazing granite]

write to [e-mail] and ask, be aware that the answer won't be immediately and can take from 7 to 10 business days.

[sand trench]

generally yes
for use inside a company that you work it depends on the IT and cyber security departments agreed upon standards

[daring gull]

I see, Thank you

[daring gull]

Yeah, that is risky :/

[blazing granite]

A neutron walks into a bar and asks, how much for a drink? the bartender answer for you no charge 😉 😂

[grizzled wing]

especially your username iwontcode you should allow the experts to manage your passwords

[daring gull]

I chuckled

Thank you!

you people are nice

[grizzled wing]

once you use the pasword manager you are safer than the general public

[daring gull]

that is nice

verify for gifs etc

[sick lance]

In this day and age, a physical note book is better than a password manager.

[daring gull]

ohh

[grizzled wing]

a 📓 is no substitute for long complex random passwords for each account

[sick lance]

How is it not?

[grizzled wing]

are you being serious?

[sick lance]

Yes.

[blazing granite]

the other day I needed to create a password and told me use up to 8 capital, so I put Madrid, London, Rome, Berlin, Paris, Athens, and Tokyo

[sick lance]

If you leave it on a desk labelled passwords,.sure.

[sand trench]

ma8WQ3Csns7ML959F3a6l8eZLcOyd.Kql5gK8h6Z6pgTSBmZ5Z4kLAcGgdBS5rm8

have fun typing this into your login page

[sand trench]

espeicailly if it is one of those that clears out the password field if there is a single symbol off

[grizzled wing]

i am at a loss right now.

• new person is asking about how to be safer regarding passwords and the chat offers password managers
• you suggest that using a 📓 is sufficient when you likely understand that humans suck at using or creating random words or numbers. it is why password hacking is still around.

[sick lance]

That's a great idea until your computer is encrypted.

[sick lance]

What makes you think they're still not trying long complex passwords?

Encrypted pc == bye bye passwords.

[grizzled wing]

because that is not typically the situation.

SecLists show this

[sick lance]

But would the average middle age - Elderly computer user?

[grizzled wing]

password managers offer KeyPass , notebooks lack such a feature

password managers work with YubiKeys, notebooks lack this feature

[sick lance]

You're right, we should.

But do we?

How many people have told this week about the importance of backing up data?

[sand trench]

sooooo does shadows grandad that is in his 70-80:s count as an middle age to eldery computer user???
because he takes backups

[twin cipher]

6

[grizzled wing]

so Scrubz is against password managers due to lack of people doing backups?

[sick lance]

No, I'm just saying password managers aren't the lord and saviour of password security.

[grizzled wing]

but come on, you stated your opposition right after a new user asked about password managers, what message are you sending?

[fresh sparrow]

Are there any more certifications in future for red team and security engineer? Is there any information about are they in development stage?

[rugged kayak]

notebook with pass phrase better

harder to lose

safer at home

[plain tartan]

You're telling me you don't just write your passwords down on a sticky note and put them on your monitor?

[sick lance]

I'm counting an average user as a user who just uses the internet and devices for social media,. watching TV and internet shopping.

[grizzled wing]

exactly, extra security . above a notebook

[sick lance]

It's good to have options.

[sand trench]

he only uses the internet and microsoft office suite on his computer basically

[sick lance]

And 3-2-1 backups.

[sand trench]

still takes regular backups of all the photos he and grandma take

[rugged kayak]

what if usb gets lost or stolen

[sick lance]

So, an average user then.

[rugged kayak]

or you forget your long and complex master password

[sand trench]

yes but he takes backups

[blazing granite]

boom 😂

[sand trench]

sooo not average to your assumption???

or was something lost in translation land here

[grizzled wing]

but you did not say that, what i understood was "forget password managers, stick with what you are doing"

• {password manager = scam } kind of vibes

[sick lance]

If that's your interpretation of that, then sure?

[sick lance]

I didn't say an average user doesn't take backups.

[grizzled wing]

seriously do not understand your approach,

[sick lance]

If I did,.then what I meant to say was.

How many average users make backups.

[grizzled wing]

this is about password managers, not backups

[blazing granite]

encrypted and copy the encryption key in a notebook 😂

[grizzled wing]

user did not ask about backups

[sick lance]

Isn't a password manager not backing up passwords?

I mean, you're storing them to data

[grizzled wing]

fine. next person that asks about password manager i will say FORGET IT, just stick with paper

Scubz says its safer

[sick lance]

That's not.my point.

[grizzled wing]

yes it is

[sick lance]

No it's not, I said it's an option.

[grizzled wing]

"in this day and age, it is not worth it"

new users will get confused when you are around

In the 60s, Marvin Minsky assigned a couple of undergrads to spend the summer programming a computer to use a camera to identify objects in a scene. He figured they'd have the problem solved by the end of the summer. Half a century later, we're still working on it.

[blazing granite]

I was going to say yandex so I'm out 😂

[sick lance]

Of the meta data is scrubbed, not likely.

Or if it was not recorded, whats the drone?

Maybe check it's flight logs.

[grizzled wing]

THM rooms often suggest 2FA password managers

THM login has 2FA

[boreal scarab]

Cheap AEEA drone, photos saved on an SD drive and we have that, checked the JPG's and videos for Metadata, does have it, no GPS though, so now I'm guessing it may not save that data or even have it

[sick lance]

Optional, not mandatory

[grizzled wing]

so please use a password manager.

Just announced, chrome introduces cupcakes that just "record" all of your movements, and "record" all your emotions with your webcam :)

[split ore]

This is quite the conundrum

Rooms got deleted?

[grizzled wing]

sounds like a sweet deal for criminals

[split ore]

criminals will get their share, but chrome would be the one who gets the whole cake

Oh, sorry, in the light of recent events I mean firefox

[grizzled wing]

i would like to earn this badge

[inner ginkgo]

yo guys

[split ore]

I dunno how many ppl suggested that, but after like two weeks after I sent them feedback about how I would like to be able to move/crop VMs screen (so it would take like 70% not always 50% of the screen) THM implemented that into their site

I love thm

sorry for the complicated sentence

might get dizzy

[inner ginkgo]

i'm a bug hunter and i only do web, would that be good for hackinfinty?

[grizzled wing]

so many badges are really pretty

[boreal scarab]

Teaaaaaaa!

[grizzled wing]

when i finish organizing i will post the wallpaper, so stay tuned

i made note

[sand trench]

and shadow is officially in section 8 of extreme privacy

[grizzled wing]

any tidbits you can share?

[sand trench]

USE RSS WHEN POSSIBLE

[grizzled wing]

i already do

[sand trench]

5th edition??? or an older edition???

[boreal scarab]

I thought that said USSR

[sand trench]

oh you did exactly the same thingy shadow did :D

2025-03-01 is newest version :D

[blazing granite]

The 48 Laws of Power

that was his first book back in 1998

[sand trench]

if you want weird book that goes way in depth on how a well writen guide is supposed to look???

https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Felling-Woodcutting-Methods/dp/0615338798

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sand trench (current: #4 - 2113)

[sand trench]

it has been on shadows shelf for years now

sometimes just open it and read a few pages here or there

the detail of the guiding is incredible

[eternal timber]

masf

[sand trench]

yeah shadow bought it to read for the funsies basically

sometimes like to just go and buy a book on some random topic

this one has stuck out a lot though

shadow has not read this one themselves much but hear it praised tons for people into making their own food: https://www.amazon.com/Flavor-Bible-Essential-Creativity-Imaginative/dp/0316118400

also get the hard cover and not the paperback

the paperback is some special edition and is twice the cost

kinda... it tells you what food items goes with what spices and wice versa

to teach you to make your own recipes from scratch more or less

for most cases would think so too but not for this book

well shadow can go and read it whenever they want but it was a christmas gift for shadows dad this last christmas

he likes to experiment with cooking now and again

[rapid merlin]

I haven’t given them a close look yet

[boreal scarab]

Stone ground mustard is the spiciest mustard I've had, but it's so damn fucking delicious

[sand trench]

the real mustards that are not what is in those yellow weird american squeeze bottles is indeed good

christmas ham with course ground mustard is yummy

[boreal scarab]

We have those on Hotdogs and hamburgers, but when it comes to other foods, stoneground all the way

[sand trench]

well there is plenty of options for hamburger mustards too

*does not think about eating hot dogs

[boreal scarab]

I'm eating extra crispy chicken wings right now, dipping em in stone ground mustard

[sand trench]

mmm nice

[boreal scarab]

This one to be specific

[sand trench]

somehow that does not look veryb ground up but bet it is good

[boreal scarab]

Hot dogs good!

did you know there tends to be mustard in coleslaw

[leaden marsh]

its okay to eat it

[blazing granite]

that comes from a line in Macbeth

[boreal scarab]

Speaking of coleslaw, got a side too

[sand trench]

i'll keep it for networking etc but bunch of jerks

anyway THM is nice place

i signed up but their website looks low quality, so i never did much with it

people make $ over there, hire a web designer

the content is stuff i have interest in, i like the youtube videos but the website sucks

if i am to spend time on your website, it should not suck

And you're reading Goethe, it looks like. 👍

[leaden marsh]

I slept to continue

I have question

How to reset it this?

[oak river]

Must I buy this if I want to understand ISO27001?

I see a lot of jobs look for people that can understand this

So I want to understand it

[whole yew]

If you need to understand ISO for work, they should pay for it.

[oak river]

I am not employed

[whole yew]

If you want a starting poing for compliance, NIST CFv2 is a good place.

[oak river]

But I want to understand it and look good

[unborn swan]

Phone only, tried a fake bank hack what’s next .

[grizzled wing]

hi Juun

[oak river]

Soooo, NIST and NIS are basically "kinda" the same thing

But NIST is USA-in and is not mandatory

[whole yew]

Hi veggies.

[grizzled wing]

i like when you are around

[whole yew]

I've given you a resource to go learn about compliance frameworks for no cost. If you would prefer to spend the money for the ISO docs, go right ahead.

[leaden marsh]

?

[oak river]

No, I did some quick research, thank you for what you gave me

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @whole yew (current: #11 - 819)

[grizzled wing]

question for Juun

• do you have experience with BTLO ?

[oak river]

So basically understanding NIST is like understanding NIS for free?

[whole yew]

Not sure what BTLO is

[grizzled wing]

blue teams online training

so i guess that answers that haha

[whole yew]

Compliance is compliance; understanding what requirements and controls are, is the same in every framework. The specifics are different, and in fact ISO 27001 is not technical but is instead administrative, but the foundational aspect of understanding what a requirement is, how to write a control that satisifies that requirement, and then architecting a technical implementation that maps to the control is the same.

I haven't had much in the way of company sponsored training recently, I've been learning CCSP and CSSLP

[worn turret]

I dont understand the soc simulator

[oak river]

I'm learning Security+ right now

[worn turret]

I flagged blatant looking phishing emails as true postives and it says it wrong

[oak river]

Btw can we reset our progress on thm somehow?

[worn turret]

how am i supposed to know

It rlly said "click here to claim 1 million dollers" but thats legit?

[grizzled wing]

thats 🐟

[celest dirge]

Ngl, I haven't used SOC sim entirely, but have you tried looking more into the phishing email?

Maybe there's more to it.

[grizzled wing]

i have yet to simulate 🧦

[celest dirge]

I used it, tried taking on an alert, and quickly realized my weaknesses.

I also need to familiarize myself with the platform itself

[worn turret]

it dosent rly let me

[grizzled wing]

correction: Blue Team Labs Online 🔵

[worn turret]

it says the info is classified and stuff

[worn turret]

lowk a better sim

mby im just bad

[grizzled wing]

never tried it, just watching a tutorial of a challenge on platform

u mean to tell me theres a chance this is legit

idrk what in the description can help

[worn turret]

yea it hates my reporting

[vernal cliff]

No attachment + content to be analyzed therefore it is a FALSE positive, according to this SOC Sim

[worn turret]

How do you even anaylze it

I cant find the contents anywhere

[worn turret]

Wouldnt the phishing be a log in most likely on a link attached

need to verify for voice chat

[rapid merlin]

❤️

[molten sky]

microsoft is bouta be my 13th reason

they changed the "get out of s mode" registry thing again it seems

[oak river]

Something's happening to Bing

[molten sky]

i just bing-ed 'zen browser' cause s mode bs and it gave me literally one page and none of the results where zen's own website

[grizzled wing]

Zen is getting more attention

[vernal cliff]

What did you use to check the domain? I used virustotal + anyrun

[molten sky]

been on my radar for a while now but finally getting around to trying it this week --- still not 100% committed but I'm pleased with it so far
and it's actually been far more stable for me than normal firefox

some weirdness that i'ma have to get used to or tweak if i keep it around but some things better as well

[oak river]

X seems to have problems too

Interesting

I wonder if something interesting is happening

[grizzled wing]

i deleted firefox, tried out LibreWolf and floorp

[molten sky]

i tried floorp once ages ago and don't even remember anything about it --- librewolf i'm a fan of as well

[oak river]

Is it better than google and firefox?

[molten sky]

tbc, it's a fork of firefox ---- but it seems like it might be nicer than the original so far

[worn turret]

Ig but idk what if they trying to chat and get info out of me still convinced its phishing

[oak river]

ah

How about librewolf?

[molten sky]

also a fork of firefox, but with a much heavier focus on privacy

[worn turret]

How do u reveal the contents of the emails

[molten sky]

to the point of (optional) letterboxing and whatnot to help standardize your fingerprint

[oak river]

WHOA zen has vertical tabs

thats what I need

I wonder if Zen browser less or more private

[drowsy dust]

lock in

[leaden marsh]

Fire fox is bad and its based on it

[molten sky]

so are chromium + chrome

what's your point? use telnet for everything?

curl your bank account?

[oak river]

Come on, I like Firefox

Firefox seems like it cares about privacy

[mellow narwhal]

doesn't look like it, from what I hear

I use chrome on a daily basis (too deep in) 😇

[grizzled wing]

they changed terms of service

[mellow narwhal]

and chromium as my default burp suite browser

thats it

[gritty fern]

i use chromium because of the amazing google integration

[celest dirge]

I used Virustotal and Talos

[leaden marsh]

Is not

Thank u everyone

[grizzled wing]

interesting there is no browser named Shark

[leaden marsh]

And its lagging also

[celest dirge]

How did it go with anyrun?
@vernal cliff

[leaden marsh]

Do know commando dragon?

[gritty fern]

whats so funny about google integration huh prod?

[molten sky]

the google part

[gritty fern]

I need it for school ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[molten sky]

doubt

[gritty fern]

How do you even doubt that my friend

[celest dirge]

That's the fun part, if the contents were removed, there's no way to see it. If there were, you should see them in your Analyst VM.

[molten sky]

using gmail and google docs doesn't really require any "browser integration"

[gritty fern]

Yes but it is however convenient

[molten sky]

can't imagine how tbh

[gritty fern]

Easily switch between emails and bookmarks + cookies + passwords save across computers

[molten sky]

easily switch between emails isn't a browser thing, just a gmail thing --- bookmarks/cookies/passwords can be done with firefox as well, and shouldn't be done anyways and is horribly insecure

[grizzled wing]

i just learned that BTLO has a youtube channel 🎉

[molten sky]

big fan of sbt for defensive stuff

only cert i personally like for entry level people

[celest dirge]

Don't quote me,

I flagged it as False Positive, my reasons for that is,

1. the contents in the email were removed.

2. Checked Splunk to see if anything happened during and after the email was received.

3. No attachments were sent to the VM.

[molten sky]

s+ doesn't mean shit. too bad that btl1/2 is still pretty unknown

[grizzled wing]

i am learning more about the platform

[gritty fern]

I know it’s insecure but i also often have to switch between 4 different computers so for myself its much better than logging into stuff in 4 different places

[molten sky]

well can't argue with willing & knowing use of poor practice 🤷‍♂️

[gritty fern]

curious though, is the only problem that if google were breached it would be leaked?

[molten sky]

you aren't betting on google necessarily, you're betting on yourself --- now if you make one simple mistake, you're handing them so much more all at once

and the built-in password stores of browsers are often horrificly insecure themselves, although i'm not up to date on google's practice

[gritty fern]

Ah so the problem being that if my google account were hacked they would have everything?

[molten sky]

or any one of your devices in any fashion

you no longer have a wall between them

[gritty fern]

Ah that actually does make sense

But really the only way to get access to my google account is through a device then because 2FA and high character password on my google account

[molten sky]

not if i stole a session from any one of your devices

[gritty fern]

Well that wouldnt be very nice

How does that work? Similar to stealing a discord token?

[molten sky]

man fuck this, i'ma just go to the gym ---- i've been tryna scan a god damn piece of paper for almost 3 hours now and i've gotten nowhere close

[molten sky]

not sure which method you're referring to but theoretically similar ---- you've got an authentication token of some kind and some other data, and you're stealing that in some way --- like if i had access to your laptop somehow and literally just copied the cookie over

[gritty fern]

Yeah thats what i meant

[vernal cliff]

It ran well. Could’ve ran easier if I had the paid version 🥲

[celest dirge]

I'm using my student email for it

Sobbin I can't use my regular gmail

[gritty fern]

Actually i have a question for anyone who can answer, is Linux physically secure (as opposed to how you just need a windows portable to access the cmd on the device on Windows)?

[grizzled wing]

the CEO of Sandfly Security answered that, yes for basic Linux distro machines, but less secure the more plugins you put on your machine. Linux is secure by default, you would have to give a malicious fil permissions to run for example, BUT attackers do know how to attack Linux : LINPEAS.

many Linux users add plugins to customize their machines so it is noteworthy

[gritty fern]

So what kind of things make a machine insecure?

If applicable

[grizzled wing]

custom themes, unknown software for things

of course downloading sketchy stuff

[gritty fern]

So essentially any binaries that are not straight from the linux source?

[grizzled wing]

stick to your distro pkg registry and Flathub

[gritty fern]

Oh so it would be binaries from the internet mostly?

[leaden marsh]

I stopped tryhackme because I have another crouse

[chrome iris]

I've been training for over a year and I'm still struggling with easy rooms.
I've finished a lot of them using guides. I'm trying to gather only the bare minimum that I need.
I'm not doing nothing, but it feels like I'm meant to be a lot more competent with this by now.
Is this normal?

[wary ocean]

a lot of tryhackme rooms will be labeled as easy cuz it was easy for the guy who made it but would be difficult for someone who as no clue what it is, and then youll have some rooms that are labeled as medium to hard that are a complete cakewalk just cuz its not that difficult

[chrome iris]

Oh
So, how do Lookup and Opacity rate then?

[leaden bay]

who can intruduce tryhackme this platform in the easy way

i am new

[rapid merlin]

Start from pre security, then you will know where to go

[rapid merlin]

In my opinion, even if it is a small sentance take the time to understand it and then move forward, at the end of the day it doesn't mater the amount of chapters you completed but the amount of knowledge, so try to learn at your own pace but learn it and only then move forward otherwise we are deceiving ourselves

[leaden bay]

oh damn tryhackme is more like a lab

[gritty fern]

If i were you i wouldn’t sweat how hard the rooms youre doing are, just do the rooms you can and make sure to ask for help if youre stuck. If you still dont have any idea whats going on then just come back to it later :)

[steady pewter]

good evening everyone!

[gritty fern]

Evening

[steady pewter]

Hmm, so general has gone quiet again. Well, it's got it's quiet times and very active times.

[leaden bay]

patience is key in life

[steady pewter]

yep. Very accurate. For example, mandatory windows updates against your will.

[trim lotus]

what does this hint mean? "Use ps aux to list all running processes. We're looking for a process that seems "out of the ordinary""

been stuck on this

[chrome iris]

That would mean running "ps -aux" and looking for something in the result that seems different.

[steady pewter]

I think it means that some process doesn't look normal, like something you wouldn't typically find running on a normal computer.

[gritty fern]

pretty sure it’s ps aux not ps -aux but i may be wrong

[trim lotus]

thats the part im stuck on, what is something outrageous i should look for

[trim lotus]

i saw one python3.8 running is that normal

[pliant bronze]

Umm.. Can i ask what is hackfinity?

[steady pewter]

uh..depends.

[mossy river]

Try looking for something obviously suspicious like "root" "malware" "hack" "backdoor"

Or try Googling someone else's output of ps aux (Google Images) and compare what you see on theirs compared to what it on yours) - make sure the screenshot is from a fresh Linux installation from the same distro

[gritty fern]

Jabba to the rescue

[steady pewter]

Yay!

[trim lotus]

thx for the suggestion. i was trying to avoid googling the answer as i didnt know that to google for without spoiling myself

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #6 - 1529)

[leaden bay]

what website you use to collect the imformation before you hack the site

i konw sodan

anything else

want to make some american friend

[mossy river]

If it's a CTF, nothing until I've exhausted normal enumeration tools, i.e. nmap, dirbuster, etc.

[chrome iris]

Try "systemctl list" then
There should be a sus description.

[steady pewter]

That works, yeah.

[gritty fern]

Night everyone

[steady pewter]

Have a good one.

[gritty fern]

You as well

[leaden bay]

i am wondering if i spent 1-2 hours on this industry

is it enough?

[gritty fern]

Per day?

[leaden bay]

yeah

casue i have to work in the future

[gritty fern]

You will probably get burnt out

[leaden bay]

i will grauate in 4 month

[gritty fern]

1 hour is the most i would spend per day

[leaden bay]

?

you must be kidding me bro

[gritty fern]

If you can manage to get 2 hours in without burning out then great

[gritty fern]

I am not

[leaden bay]

how long have you been in this industry

[gritty fern]

Year and a half or so

[leaden bay]

you are better than me
