[wooden totem]

That's kinda cool tho, 6 zero days being fixed quickly

[blissful snow]

yeahh

[polar shale]

I see you gave krebbs a look 😉

[open wharf]

[blissful snow]

yeepp lol

[open wharf]

you can also say to an antivirus bypass 0 day

[wooden totem]

why did you specify CST and 45

[open wharf]

is it a 0 day exploit to?

or not

[blissful snow]

basically a zero day is an exploit that it freshly new

and the first time that it has been exploited

[polar shale]

Webex Habit i work with people international everyday but 45 because thats what time i wake up

[ashen marsh]

can someone please tell why i m unable to use scp command

[wooden totem]

or discovered recently

[ashen marsh]

and one more question

[plush needle]

At least you have a typo already

[ashen marsh]

ok

[polar shale]

taks3 task3

[ashen marsh]

oh yead

wait

let me try it out

[polar shale]

Itll work after correction

[ashen marsh]

yea

it did but

i was not expecting the out put

i thought it would copy the folder from the server to my desktop

[polar shale]

it will

[ashen marsh]

it didnt

[polar shale]

scp remoteuser@remoteip/hostname:/path/to/shit ./shit

Current directory should now contain shit

[ashen marsh]

its getting a toll on me

wait let me clear out my doubts first

[ashen marsh]

as i mentioned the photo earlier

[polar shale]

You will figure it out just fine 👍

[ashen marsh]

what type is it

.txt or what

task3

[polar shale]

Not sure i am not doing the task the instructions should specify the file

[ashen marsh]

is there any command to figure out the file type in linux

[open wharf]

Is anyone here interested in antivirus of course for ethical purposes and red teaming

[blissful snow]

file

[ashen marsh]

??

[crude stump]

[polar shale]

[blissful snow]

I prob should get rid of that custom suid script

[ashen marsh]

[polar shale]

I think just you know then lol

[blissful snow]

file <file name>

[ripe cosmos]

anybody with a gpu? need to crack a hash
it's gonna take 3 days on my laptop

[blissful snow]

for what

[ripe cosmos]

for a ctf

[blissful snow]

tryhackme?

[ripe cosmos]

no, it's on picoctf

[ashen marsh]

its says its an ascii text

[blissful snow]

the live ctf?

[frosty thunder]

is it salted?

[ripe cosmos]

no

[blissful snow]

sorry we can't help you with this

[frosty thunder]

then just use online tools

[ashen marsh]

can u explain where i m making the mistake if i wantto copy task3 which is in server to my vm

scp tryhackme@10.10.230.69:/home/tryhackme/taks3 ol

ol

[frosty thunder]

what is ol?

[blissful snow]

its live

[ashen marsh]

ol is a file

[frosty thunder]

try dot instead of ol

you running this command on the local right?

[ashen marsh]

ok wait

[ashen marsh]

??

[ripe cosmos]

I have the hash, I just need to crack it. It would take 3 days for me because I don't have a dGPU. I just need to borrow someone's gpu

[ashen marsh]

yes

[blissful snow]

I still thinks thats a no

[frosty thunder]

bro first of all sounds sketch. second of all did you try online services

[ripe cosmos]

How does it sound sketchy. And no, there's no online resource to help crack a bitlocker hash

[clear jackal]

We cannot assist you with live CTFs, if that's what you're asking

[sick lance]

@cloud geyser please don't post surveys in this server.

[clear jackal]

Idk why that didn't reply

[ashen marsh]

@frosty thunder is worked but i m unable to view task3 on my desktop

vm

[sick lance]

We can't assist you with CTF's that are not THM, please use the platform support.

[sick lance]

Please don't assist users who's breaking our community rules.

[frosty thunder]

why? is it there?

is there a perm issue?

[ashen marsh]

wait

[blissful snow]

wait question is breaking a rule if i dm an recommend him online tool I'm following picoctf rules

[sick lance]

If you continue providing help with this CTF Ill need to take moderation action.

[frosty thunder]

room creators who create split view rooms and don't provide ssh credentials, i have a special hate for them

[ashen marsh]

no it isnt a perm issue

[sick lance]

Yes, you would be circumventing the rules.

[frosty thunder]

bro it's another person relax

[sick lance]

Then what are you discussing?

[frosty thunder]

what do you want from me, get off my case bro

[ashen marsh]

it downloaded the task3 but dont know where

[sick lance]

Are you doing THM?

[ashen marsh]

yes

[frosty thunder]

it downloaded in your current directory

wherever you are

[cloud geyser]

why is it against the rules? i am sorry if it is I didn't know.

[ashen marsh]

linux fundamental3 task 2 or3 i guess

[sick lance]

#room-help please.

[sick lance]

I'm not on your case sister.

[ashen marsh]

okokok

[frosty thunder]

you are a weirdo

first of all you make a mistake, accuse me of smth. then call me a sister. high class bro

[topaz skiff]

sassing the moderator seems like a fun and fruitful activity

[sick lance]

They're breaking rule 5.

And you'd be breaking rule 9.

[sick lance]

It's ok to be wrong, you call me bro,

I'm definitely not your brother. 🙂

[sick lance]

But you're also providing support on THM material in the wrong channel. 😄

[polar vortex]

I am getting my popcorn or this

[topaz skiff]

you're too late, and i already ate the popcorn

[ripe cosmos]

I don't mean to be rude, but could you clarify this further. In my mind, I'm just asking to borrow someone's GPU because I don't have one.
(and as a sidenote, someone with a gpu did let me run hashcat just now and it took only 11 seconds to crack)

[dire bridge]

How do you join the KOTH voice channel?

[harsh surge]

You can click on it

[molten sky]

only i can sass the moderator

[dire bridge]

Mine is locked... I am new to KOTH and trying to figure out how the process works

I am new to cyber security so can you guys tell me what I should do first

[topaz skiff]

learn to google, get comfortable with terminals, read up on networking basics~ tryhackme starting paths are pretty solid for that :D

[pure bramble]

is try hack me free or paid

[topaz skiff]

you can access a whole lot of it free

watched a stray cat kill a great blue herron by our pond

ever since, i hated cats. all they do is pee on walls and knock shit off the table. meanwhile dogs are out here holding government jobs and saving lives everyday.

stray cats are single-handedly responsible for the extinction of the most species of animals than any other animal, especially birds.

Y'all really need to train your dogs...

[blissful snow]

its ok he only bites if you touch him ✅

well if he wants to

he'll sit 50% of the time :D

[pallid lotus]

Nothing worse than a dog owner who can't control their dog smh

If your dog bites, that's a you problem.
If your dog doesn't sit as soon as asked, every time you ask, that's a you failure.

If your dog isn't toilet trained, that's because you didn't teach them.
If your dog sleeps in your bed, that's because you did not set boundaries.

At the end of the day they have roughly the same mental capacity as a human toddler, whilst simultaneously instinctively wanting to please.
You're responsible for them -- the good and the bad.

[steep mountain]

When playing a ctf is it crucial to wait 10 minutes once starting a machine?

[elder peak]

You’re welcome, hope you find a team 👍

[pallid lotus]

We did actually have something similar for a while a couple of years ago

Kinda drifted off though

[mossy river]

It's always good practice to wait for the services to start completely yes

[sick lance]

I remember those.

Last one was Meggy?

[twin cipher]

zumi needs help nuking an old facebook account

[pallid lotus]

Probably. I remember hosting that.

[leaden marsh]

Please everyone I want to finish cybersecurity 101
And then jr pentesting and then pentest+ and offensive security and then red teaming And solve ctfs in red team I can solve them easily

[pallid lotus]

... Does that mean there weren't any after I left?

[pallid lotus]

Okay? Congrats

[upper knoll]

If you want specific room help just head over to #room-help

You can ask questions there

[leaden marsh]

No I say if I finish them I can solve ctfs

I need help about this

[pallid lotus]

Oh, that was a question

[leaden marsh]

Yes

[upper knoll]

A question mark could of helped with that

It seemed more like a statement

[leaden marsh]

Okaay

[pallid lotus]

Depends on the CTF I would say.
Personally, I would suggest just going for the CTFs. Dive in at the deep end. You'll learn hands on that way.

[leaden marsh]

it was hard to me even the easy I need to know the logic!

And then figure out it

[inner bloom]

using htb feels like i'm cheating on thm lmao

[pallid lotus]

That's hacking for you.
You won't learn the curiosity mindset or methodology from a book.

[leaden marsh]

But from were the steps how to hack ??

Here is the question ?

[pallid lotus]

You'll learn technique + tips & tricks from teaching content, but at the end of the day learning to research is a "you" thing.

Learn to grab a problem by the neck and not let go until you've solved it.
That's an experience thing.

[leaden marsh]

There is learn thing to learn it and apply it

[pallid lotus]

Hey, you asked, I answered 🤷‍♂️

[leaden marsh]

I know

Thank u for helping me

[pallid lotus]

I would start with an easy full-pwn CTF. Enumerate, see what's available, research how to break it

Then go from there

[leaden marsh]

I got it I dont want go research I want to solve my self and then write the research

The write up

[pallid lotus]

Hate to break it to you, but 90% of technical hacking is research.

[leaden marsh]

Great !

Like see the write up ??

[ripe vine]

yeah research doesn't mean read a writeup for the CTF

I think there is a little confusion here

[leaden marsh]

How then to do the research I feel diffcult

[leaden marsh]

yes it is

[pallid lotus]

No. Like read the manual for the stuff you're attacking. Look for CVEs and known vulnerabilities. Look for known configuration errors. Look for things which could go wrong. Look for default credentials.

[ripe vine]

Depends what you find when enumerating a system or application I suppose

[pallid lotus]

Look for a way in.

[opaque flax]

To do a ctf you need to do research

[leaden marsh]

For what I attacking right?

[warm nimbus]

hacking is all about research

[opaque flax]

But yeah a write up isn’t research

It’s just cheating yourself

[leaden marsh]

I dont like cheating

[opaque flax]

Everything you find on the target

[pallid lotus]

Eh, that's harsh. Write-ups (proper ones, not answer dumps), can be incredibly useful.

You're only cheating yourself if you don't even try first.

[leaden marsh]

Vuln open port right,

[opaque flax]

Fair ill revise my statement

It’s cheating yourself if you don’t try at all

[warm nimbus]

theres no cookie cutter vulns really, you have to infiltrate - hence pen test which starts with , what do i have?

[opaque flax]

And just farm the flags

[pallid lotus]

Aye

[warm nimbus]

unless you're affter windows xp machines 🙂

[opaque flax]

I mean if I get a sql inject on ‘ or 1=1 —; id say that’s cookie cutter

[warm nimbus]

yes you start with that of course

[pallid lotus]

Yeah, uh, some vulns are really dumb lmao

It's amazing how often something you see in a CTF and say "well that's unrealistic" shows up irl

[warm nimbus]

i usually do some investigation of a target, and then try to figure out what its running and how

we had one in our app, and im like hmm if i change this 1 to a 2? do i get someone elses file? lol issue with session stickiness and token auth

[pallid lotus]

... That just sounds like an IDOR / BOLA lmao

[warm nimbus]

We sold to Space-X, im like uhhh this is bad

[leaden marsh]

Look to be honest @pallid lotus I dont know how to hack really but I know steps

[opaque flax]

IDOR is also pretty cookie cutter imo

[leaden marsh]

The Mittre attack

[pallid lotus]

As I said. Go find an easy CTF and figure out how to bust it up.

[leaden marsh]

I love vulnerablity web

[opaque flax]

Mitre is a framework and learning resource for TTPs

[pallid lotus]

Don't look for hand holding. Just dive in and figure it out.

That's the only way you're going to develop the mindset.

[rapid merlin]

Mad hat. I watch him sometimes

[leaden marsh]

Mean is try try try u will figure out

[rapid merlin]

I wish it was heavy rain here rn

[ripe vine]

@leaden marsh just stick with learning the fundamentals from THM, PortSwigger and HTB. You will develop a hacker mentality the more you understand the basics

[pallid lotus]

I mean. If you're genuinely out of ideas and you don't know what to research, go look at a write up or 10. See how other people solved it. Learn from them.

Then go try another one.

[warm nimbus]

build your own sandbox, and hack it

[leaden marsh]

Okay got it

[pallid lotus]

No point in smashing your head against a wall if you're completely lost.

[leaden marsh]

Or your own cpu 😅

[warm nimbus]

haha yes, hence the sandbox 🙂 i use the cloud, its easier

[ashen marsh]

am i the only one or cybersec can really take a toll on you

[ripe vine]

It seems like you are getting ahead of yourself, just learn bit by bit and you will understand the methodology and mentality more and more

[pallid lotus]

Oh God. Don't tell beginners to use the cloud lmao

[warm nimbus]

hahah good point

[leaden marsh]

Okay guys sorry for the noise

[pallid lotus]

inb4 you get sued for a 6 figure bill

[elder peak]

So you like the rain? I enjoy it as long as I don’t have anything to do, lol.

[slate wraith]

where do u recommend me taking notes?(i study when its dark, so i cant take notes on physical notebook)

[pallid lotus]

[warm nimbus]

hey its ok, if you want to get into the stuff for good reasons - like i did (after being a bad kid and then responsible adult) i'd go for it

[pallid lotus]

Trilium ftw

[warm nimbus]

it sucks after you get caught ... trust me

[leaden marsh]

I will learn my path I did it after that I will solve many ctfs I will hands on

[warm nimbus]

you got this

[leaden marsh]

What u did!

I have flipper zero but I dont use it

[warm nimbus]

I got in trouble in the early 90s for vax/vms hacking into pbxs , fast forward 20 years later , im at RSA 2017 Security Conference entering the hacker compo

[pallid lotus]

Doesn't get half your notes deleted like Obsidian

Also, I thought you had me blocked

[leaden marsh]

Can tell me what is vax vms pbxs

[warm nimbus]

vax vms is old , a pbx stands for Private Branch Exchange , it was a way to use a companies phone system to make long distance phone calls

but a vax/vms is essentially a form of unix

[leaden marsh]

So u hack them

[warm nimbus]

i did and i was 14 .. got caught

[leaden marsh]

I think is dead rightt

Okay got it it

[pallid lotus]

Nah, I'm not big on radio. James keeps trying to get me into it

[warm nimbus]

telephony hacking was different in the 90s 🙂 now its all VoIP

[pallid lotus]

Good luck! 😆

[leaden marsh]

@warm nimbus

Vax vms was connect to the phone and then hack it right

[opaque flax]

My obsidian will execute any arbitrary code

[pallid lotus]

James is the one you want there though. He's learnt primarily from word of mouth though I believe

[twin cipher]

orrr

[warm nimbus]

it intgrated your phone system in your business into a remotely accessible way for people to connect and use your service to call out, but it did more than that. that was just one use

[rapid merlin]

I do like the rain. One day if I ever get a house I would like an outhouse so I can sit in it while it rains.

[twin cipher]

we could ping

[pallid lotus]

You can try. He's away for a while though.

[twin cipher]

ah ok

[leaden marsh]

Yes I was correct u can call from it so u hack the servers of the phone right

[sick lance]

https://tenor.com/view/donkey-sad-frown-shrek-chris-rock-gif-815221826479749950

[warm nimbus]

yeah you dial a number, get a tone , you put in the code, and it gives you another dialtone .. from there you dial out

[pallid lotus]

Legitimately true. Gonna have to go on a recruitment drive... If you can find candidates lmao

[leaden marsh]

Omg the hacking was more easy stuff!!

[warm nimbus]

back then we didnt have much security, so default passwords were left in vax/vms systems.. like "archie"

just type archie as the pwd and i was in , after i wardialed while doing 7th grade math

[ashen marsh]

hi

[leaden marsh]

I feel confusion its fine @warm nimbus

[warm nimbus]

its ok dude , im old school

[leaden marsh]

So ur from 90s and still cybersecurity studying,

[warm nimbus]

yeah i started hacking in like 1993 or so

[leaden marsh]

Ur cyberman then

[warm nimbus]

im a nerd, didnt get a girlfriend until almost 20

nobody wants to talk about hexadecimal

[ashen marsh]

ur pfp tells something else

[leaden marsh]

Dont get girl friends they waste ur time

[blissful snow]

@sick lance no one can help with any picoctf related ?

[warm nimbus]

whats a pfp?

[blissful snow]

only tryhackme ?

[ashen marsh]

dp

[sick lance]

Yes.

[ashen marsh]

your profile pic

[warm nimbus]

got me 3 kids

[leaden marsh]

Profile picture

[sick lance]

They can't, as I explained earlier.

[blissful snow]

ok understood

[leaden marsh]

Oh no

[warm nimbus]

oh thats intentional 🙂

[ashen marsh]

agreed

[blissful snow]

i thought you only meant live

[leaden marsh]

Ur friend is computer

[warm nimbus]

plus i still like limp bizkit

[ashen marsh]

truee

[oblique furnace]

1 month bump
malware is illegal and for nerds

[ashen marsh]

factz

[warm nimbus]

my computer has always been my friend. I used to steal Commodore 64 magazines just to write in code

in the 80s

[sick lance]

Let's not promote illegal activities.

[ashen marsh]

so u are 50 year old

[warm nimbus]

agreed that was the 80s and i was 8-10 years old

im 45

[blissful snow]

you've been coding for a while

[ashen marsh]

i dont think 45 year old would be on discord

[warm nimbus]

well when you have a bunch of kids it gets easier

i still dont even know how to use this thing

[leaden marsh]

@warm nimbus ur cyberman then

[crystal mauve]

thm/obsidian/chatgpt/classical music/discord / 40 yrs old

[warm nimbus]

i guess so idk i just like computers

[blissful snow]

we all do but we don't know why

[leaden marsh]

I enter cyber security in 2021

[warm nimbus]

they dont judge me, just do what i say

[warm nimbus]

good for you bro! keep at it!

[sick lance]

Are we using ChatGPT to write our progress reports? 😄

[warm nimbus]

I use chatgpt for everything idk , i did the same thing when calculators became OK in school 🙂

[crystal mauve]

using it to understand payloads

[leaden marsh]

is not I feel just studying basics I have path but I need to more to learn

[ashen marsh]

ph

[blissful snow]

you have a good eye lool 👁️

[ashen marsh]

oh

[sick lance]

What payload is involved with "THM Progress and Goals"?

[warm nimbus]

keep at it man, you got this. if i can do it you can

[elder peak]

That’s cool, sounds like that would be nice and relaxing

[crystal mauve]

oh hah, you caught me - i do use chatgpt to keep track of my timeline goals progress w thm and security+

[ashen marsh]

do u think obsidian is good

[sick lance]

Save yourself the bother, go for TirlluimNext

[crystal mauve]

i love obsidian

[blissful snow]

same

[opaque flax]

+1 for obsidian

[warm nimbus]

obsidian has been my front, vs all of the postits

[blissful snow]

+1

[warm nimbus]

*friend

[ashen marsh]

some people say notion is best

but notion is overwhelming

for me

[warm nimbus]

scribbling a method on a postit? bad idea

[sick lance]

@oblique furnace

We don't allow telegram links, as you've found out.

See you in 24 hours if admin don't remove it faster, as I don't have the power to remove time outs.

[sick lance]

Notion is cloud based, which is bad.

[crystal mauve]

im sure both are good, what's important is that you use it. whatever is easier to use is what u u should use, like a camera. if you find yourself taking many pictures w a certain camera, thats the camera for u

[blissful snow]

why do they give you the power to timeout but not remove

?

[sick lance]

Obsidian, you risk losing your notes to your AV.

[blissful snow]

wait what

[sick lance]

Telegram links are auto-blocked and timed out.

[ashen marsh]

what IS AV??

[sick lance]

Your notes are stored in plaintext, if your antivirus spots some malicious code, it will nuke it.

[blissful snow]

is it because of the keywords an code blocks

[pallid lotus]

Everything is computer

[blissful snow]

ahh ok lol

[pallid lotus]

Along with half the rest of the files lmao

[ashen marsh]

antivirus??

[sick lance]

...Yes, you have one, right?

Right?

[blissful snow]

well at least you know your antivirus is working

[sick lance]

I'd let them find that out.

[blissful snow]

[ashen marsh]

yeas i think??

[sick lance]

Yeah, perfect if you're about to sit an exam.

[sick lance]

...you think?

[warm nimbus]

thats why i work in a sandbox and disable AV

[pallid lotus]

See, I don't keep my notes in the sandbox

[blissful snow]

never understood sandbox

well i forgot

[pallid lotus]

Seems like another good way to lose them

[blissful snow]

gotta take notes

[sick lance]

That's the worst thing I've read today, and I've access to deleted messages.

[warm nimbus]

EICAR test file? no way without NO A/V

[sick lance]

https://tenor.com/view/terry-birthday-brooklyn99-terryjeffords-why-gif-13105722

[ashen marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/he-is-risen-praise-him-gospel-church-easter-gif-4589453454258367330

[pallid lotus]

Or you just store your notes in an encrypted file type

[warm nimbus]

oh i meant an EICAR file, which is flagged as a virus even if it isnt.

[pallid lotus]

Also, uh, why are you shoving the EICAR string in your notes?

[ashen marsh]

i will try obsidian and trilium next

[blissful snow]

i use obsidian and push notes to github

[pallid lotus]

Yes. Encrypt it and it won't get picked up either way... For obvious reasons

[ashen marsh]

adn see which one suits me the best

[crystal mauve]

i've placed multiple malicious payloads in my obsidian notes without any problems

[warm nimbus]

yes, i meant real world testing

[blissful snow]

what operating system

[pallid lotus]

... Please tell me you're not storing client test results in plaintext

[ashen marsh]

is it compulsory that u should have good maths to do crypto

[blissful snow]

i think your AV is a little to friendly

[warm nimbus]

hahaha no freaking way, never. the eicar comment was just ohn how to test without it getting picked up in A/V

[crystal mauve]

win11 / malwarebytes

[pallid lotus]

Oh, I see, we're not talking about notes now lmao

[sand trench]

recommend dosage of coffee?? oh so you are saying drinking a whole 3 litres of coffee a day is bad

[ashen marsh]

if yes then which area should be our strong points

[warm nimbus]

yes im also a bit ADHD

[pallid lotus]

Well that explains it. Just use Defender

[blissful snow]

samee

[pallid lotus]

All good

[ashen marsh]

can someone please tell me this

[blissful snow]

btw yesterday my teacher accidentally left her gmail and password on the screen i told her and she said, "oh don't worry about it thank you tho"

[warm nimbus]

this is great tho , a bunch of computer geeks like me 🙂 my old a$$ didnt even think of joining until today

[pallid lotus]

Whatever you do... Do not even think about demonstrating why it's a problem .

[ashen marsh]

good job u did join

[pallid lotus]

Speak for yourself, I'm 23

[ashen marsh]

lol

[blissful snow]

thats why i told her lol

[odd flare]

I have a question, could I get some help?

[ashen marsh]

19

[blissful snow]

because someone did (im not)

[blissful snow]

with??

[ashen marsh]

we will help

[pallid lotus]

Probably.

Do you have another question, or was that it?

[warm nimbus]

ahhh my golden years .. you'll just get better and then realize these kids are smarter than you 🙂

[mossy river]

My college’s IT teachers left an admin password on a whiteboard in the middle of the library

Don’t expect good cyber practices from anyone 😆

[odd flare]

Im in defensive security intro

[blissful snow]

thats crazy 😂

[odd flare]

and im confuse about an answer

[sand trench]

shadow once generated a password using the xkcd scream cipher after they stubbed their toe

[warm nimbus]

I met Kevin Mitnick

[ashen marsh]

i think the same sir

[blissful snow]

its recommended to asking for help on rooms in #room-help

[pallid lotus]

Just use a wall of lava lamps like a normal person smh /s

[odd flare]

in task one the answer has a max of 8 charaterd

[blissful snow]

your gonna have to be patience tho

[sick lance]

Can you remove the time out from @oblique furnace

[ashen marsh]

go in #room-help

i will be there

[warm nimbus]

I learn from the young people, and teach them the old tricks - which helps

[mossy river]

Sorted

[sand trench]

you know shadow has actually thought about rebuilding said lavalamp wall.. all well and good until electricity and lavalamp cost

[pallid lotus]

... It's a light. How expensive could it be to run

[sand trench]

lavalamps are not exactly cheap here

[ashen marsh]

it works both ways

[pallid lotus]

Yes, the initial investment, I grant you, could be a problem.

[sand trench]

and they need enough heat to cause the "fluids" to move around

[pallid lotus]

Crowdfund again.

Still cannot believe that worked last time

[blissful snow]

wouldn't the plastic melt

[sand trench]

another problem is there are not that many free walls in shadows house where shadow could put something like this up

[pallid lotus]

Lava lamps are glass and wax

The whole point is that the wax melts

[blissful snow]

no i meant wall

[warm nimbus]

although assembler isnt very useful anymore lol, and i still dislike it

[blissful snow]

that holds the "lava"

[pallid lotus]

... What walls do you know which are made of plastic?

[sand trench]

the old lava lamp shadow got is metal and glass... and it gets freakishly hot if you touch it while it is running

[pallid lotus]

Oh it really is

[blissful snow]

so were putting lava in the dry wall

[pallid lotus]

The amount of time I spend in a freaking debugger

[warm nimbus]

low level driver/kernel programming

[blissful snow]

[blissful snow]

never used one of those

[sand trench]

last program shadow knows for sure that uses assembler that they ran is dns benchmark by grc

[blissful snow]

well in js but not any other lang

[pallid lotus]

We're putting lava lamps on shelves which are mounted to studs on which plasterboard is attached, yes.

[oblique furnace]

tysm

[warm nimbus]

its useful in dbg

[blissful snow]

oh ok i was thinking about some elsee

wayyyyyyyy different

[oblique furnace]

this is what i sent

[crystal mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/sayonara-zetsubou-sensei-kafuka-fu'ura-anime-goodbye-despair-teacher-gif-12920413926739160282

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cUUfMeOijg

[pallid lotus]

... Literally every native program you use compiles down to ASM in one form or another.

[sand trench]

oh should have specified that it was written directly in plain assembler

[pallid lotus]

Including interpreters and runtimed (e.g., JVM)

[warm nimbus]

yes all of the libraries are C, C++ and ASM

[blissful snow]

might wanna blur out email, and links just in case it breaking a rule

[pallid lotus]

Why would that break a rule..?

[blissful snow]

idk

[sand trench]

only exception is if you use an old enough system that uses punchcards??? or is shadow wrong on said assumption???

[blissful snow]

just being safe

[pallid lotus]

And that matters because?

[sand trench]

cool achievement

[pallid lotus]

I mean, assembly language is just a very thin, human readable wrapper around opcodes. Punch cards were just manually entering opcodes.

Same difference, at the end of the day.

[warm nimbus]

a lot of COBOL

[near sapphire]

why did he got timed out?

[pallid lotus]

In both cases you're telling the compiler what to do, instruction by instruction.

[pallid lotus]

Don't get me started on COBOL

[warm nimbus]

haha its worse than PASCAL

[sick lance]

Posted a telegram link.

[sick lance]

You take that back.

[sand trench]

so shadow was indeed "wrong" on their assumption that punchcards and assembly is very different

thanks @pallid lotus

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @pallid lotus (current: #10 - 858)

[warm nimbus]

Ok Pascal is pretty bad

[sand trench]

anyone here touched A or B languages???

[pallid lotus]

I mean, at least mainframe access is over TCP/IP these days rather than literally adding job cards through a freaking reader.

[whole yew]

how many ticks has it been since 20 may 1875

[pallid lotus]

Always amazes me how little TN3270 has changed since the 70s though.

[pallid lotus]

30 years before I was born

[warm nimbus]

Yes, and no token ring

[pallid lotus]

... Are you actually wanting me to search up the epoch timestamp or was that rhetorical?

[warm nimbus]

i show my age, and i hate it.

[whole yew]

kek, it's rhetorical

also i'm hoping you have a unique insight into the production use of cobol in modern day systems

[pallid lotus]

Also inaccurate. Iirc COBOL doesn't use 1875 as it's epoch, right?

[pallid lotus]

Somewhat

[whole yew]

cobol doesn't have a set epoch as far i know

[warm nimbus]

our social security system is still using COBOL

[pallid lotus]

Yeah, that's my understanding

[warm nimbus]

We can dive into Perl too 🙂 thats fun ... eye bleeding one-liners 😄

[whole yew]

i think it's a convention per org that a NULL for a discrete timestamp/datetime item has a meaning

[pallid lotus]

I can code a bit of COBOL, and I've had some interaction with modern mainframes in finance. A lot of the stuff running is old though

Brand new kit running decades old programs

[blissful snow]

just had to deal with a one liner but lucky i could format it

[warm nimbus]

hahaha yes, formatted its like "oh ok i know whats going on"

[whole yew]

when i was a call center rep for AT&T in the early 2000s, we had to stop support for accounts because the databases were water cooled and had to shutdown for 8 hours per day or they would warp the platters

[pallid lotus]

I dunno. I wrote a single Python statement over about 10 lines last year. Still proud of that one.

[warm nimbus]

i ❤️ python

[blissful snow]

why water cool

[pallid lotus]

Same. That was some async bs iirc.

[whole yew]

Because that was how they made it in the 1960s

[blissful snow]

no fans

[warm nimbus]

i did a lot of java and ruby, and then discovered JRuby, but still used python

[pallid lotus]

Because it's much more efficient than trying to move air around

[blissful snow]

ah

[leaden marsh]

There is somone mention me

[pallid lotus]

Same reason high-end gaming PCs are water cooled

[blissful snow]

would yall recommend fans or water cooling tho

[blissful snow]

i saw a few

[pallid lotus]

It's overkill for most home applications

[warm nimbus]

i was able to write an automation agent using a SOAP API (old), to a web service running on tomcat, that would automatically upload all of the files in directory tree, and use envelope xml files for details on whats in it, and added a dedupe engine using a very rudimentary MD5 hashing and serialized objects for persistance (didnt want to deal with SQL)

[pallid lotus]

Ew. SOAP APIs are horrible.

[warm nimbus]

SOAP drove me insane

[pallid lotus]

I never get used to testing those fuckers.

[sand trench]

well a problem with water cooling data centers is all the fresh water it uses.... water that could be used for drinking

[warm nimbus]

me either hahaha its all about data structure

[pallid lotus]

REST? Easy.
GraphQL? Fine
gRPC? If we must.

Soap can go suck on a cactus though.

[warm nimbus]

REST is very easy, its all encapsulated in a URL lol

[leaden marsh]

Is depends on the high temp cpu many cores if there is many coreses and more opreation mathmetics u should take water cool or for editing editing is sometimes hard on gpu and cpu so is recommend to make water cool and if u gamer yes it would recommend

[pallid lotus]

I dunno, have you ever tried pentesting the UK's open banking infrastructure?

[warm nimbus]

no what happened? lol

[pallid lotus]

That's a standard which is implemented by every bank and many private companies.

They've somehow managed to make REST horrific

Although that's more to do with the auth flow

[leaden marsh]

But I think now ultra 9200k is not for cooling water basic is so much for basic

[blissful snow]

i saw someone mess up water cooling once and they're hold pc full with water

[warm nimbus]

with what? opening up SQL injection?

[sand trench]

no and doubt shadow could do so legally easily

[pallid lotus]

No, just the access flow

[warm nimbus]

I want to do this lol havent had the chance

[pallid lotus]

It's about 6 requests to authenticate, and every actual request you send needs to be individually authenticated

[blissful snow]

when people say attacking inforstructure what exactly do they mean

[pallid lotus]

i.e., automated testing is an absolute bitch. You need to reauthenticate every request individually.

[warm nimbus]

well i know about that, it uses some sort of session management im only familiar with jsession_id

[blissful snow]

jesus

[warm nimbus]

too much time using tomcat and jboss

[blissful snow]

@warm nimbus what do you just coding, pentesting ,etc just wondering

[warm nimbus]

So i was a L3 engineer for Zerto , a cloud storage company, and Silk. And an L2 support engineer for Biscom who also did cyber security and secure file transfer

[blissful snow]

guessing l3 > layer 3

[warm nimbus]

yeah i was the one that had to deal with the devs

[blissful snow]

ahh ok

thats cool, and a lot lol

[warm nimbus]

yeah dude i had so much fun

[blissful snow]

thats good

[warm nimbus]

now i need to find the next one, unemployed its bad out there

[leaden marsh]

Its normal I take rest

From studying cybersecurity ?

[blissful snow]

yes

[warm nimbus]

yeah, go into something else .. i did cooking lol

[blissful snow]

thats what im doing now

[leaden marsh]

I dont want to take rest forever how to make it

[leaden marsh]

Because rest will become lazy for me

[warm nimbus]

yeah dont rest too long keep up with studies and play around with what you can get legally and free

[blissful snow]

sometimes i took breaks fora few,days,weeks,etc

its common im pretty sure

[warm nimbus]

awesome! i cook mostly southeast asian food, but im from Lowell, Massachusetts so it makes sense lol

[blissful snow]

oh no i meant im taking a break lol

[warm nimbus]

oh haha i thought u meant cooking , but yeah its really the same thing.. its engineering

[blissful snow]

cyberchef

[warm nimbus]

hahah yeah i write music too , on the pc

[blissful snow]

yeah

[warm nimbus]

im the biggest nerd i know 😢

the other ones that are better are just too strange

[blissful snow]

nerd means smart

[warm nimbus]

for me it does

[blissful snow]

i meant https://cyberchef.org/

[warm nimbus]

oh havent been there in a bit

[blissful snow]

people take nerd as a bad thing now idk why

[warm nimbus]

no i think its cool , nerd = i know more than you.

[blissful snow]

lool

[warm nimbus]

without narcisstic tendencies

it got me girlfriends 🙂

[blissful snow]

I'm be on cyberchef for a little I'm working on my crypto,reversing eng, and forensic's

[leaden marsh]

is open vms closed right now

[warm nimbus]

i want to check that out again, thx for the idea

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @blissful snow (current: #570 - 10)

[blissful snow]

nice, no one in high school wants a computer nerd i found that out pretty quick.

[leaden marsh]

But how do u hacked the calls I didnt get u yet

[blissful snow]

yww

[leaden marsh]

When I get to cybersecurity many friends become less to me

[warm nimbus]

you mean my pbx hacking in the 90s? uh i guessed the password because they wrote it down in the manuals and nobody changed it. I used my PC to dial random numbers to find vulnerable sites

[sand trench]

in shadows early years in the computer lab shadow was the only person able to use the computer that did not have a mouse

[warm nimbus]

i hated the mouse. Windows 3.1 was disgusting

[blissful snow]

with the roller

?

[leaden marsh]

So the access for internet was by dial number?

[warm nimbus]

yes we didnt have broadband

[warm nimbus]

no cable, it was a SLIP/PPP account

[silver sky]

False, I pulled back in high school

[warm nimbus]

I dropped out in the 8th grade

[leaden marsh]

So u login by the passowrd
For another user

[leaden marsh]

Please I feel so much lost what is this

[warm nimbus]

yeah i just used the defaults, and it gave me a tone

[blissful snow]

everyone here in my school are wannabe thugs and gangters

[leaden marsh]

Omg how they know u hack the someone

[desert shuttle]

ew

[warm nimbus]

i was an idiot, i shared it with all my friends

[leaden marsh]

Oh

[blissful snow]

osint

[warm nimbus]

but i was like 14 lol

[leaden marsh]

I have question

[blissful snow]

brb

[leaden marsh]

What is this?

[warm nimbus]

thats an old DEC vax/vms license config

lol

how did u get that

[leaden marsh]

How do u know!

[warm nimbus]

because i was there dude

DEC headquarters was up the street

[warm nimbus]

i had one of those

[leaden marsh]

This ond

[warm nimbus]

i never stopped bro , i love computers

[leaden marsh]

My laptop is my wifi

Wife

[warm nimbus]

hahhaa my laptop has been my wife too

[leaden marsh]

She sleep to me now

[leaden marsh]

Behind me

[wary ocean]

same honestly, my laptop never steals my food

[leaden marsh]

Also my flipper is my kid

[leaden marsh]

But he is sleeping

[warm nimbus]

that is so old i cant even remember that stuff

[leaden marsh]

I dont use it because he will do chaos

[warm nimbus]

looks like a bunch of nodes

[leaden marsh]

What is bunch of nodes

[warm nimbus]

i ❤️ the flipper

[blissful snow]

i wanted to try it but i save my money

[leaden marsh]

Bro u better thab me

[warm nimbus]

the XLVII etc

[leaden marsh]

Than me

[leaden marsh]

What is this

Omg I feel really Noov

Noob

This one?

[warm nimbus]

hahah XLVII is just roman numeral for 47

[leaden marsh]

What is 47 numeral

[warm nimbus]

im pretty sure

[leaden marsh]

💔😭 please I feel died

What these stuff

😭💔💔💔

Its hard to me

[blissful snow]

you gotta practice

[warm nimbus]

its a vax 4xxx series, they would use stuff like XLVII to identify system

[blissful snow]

oh just search

[leaden marsh]

Not practice is old cimputers

[blissful snow]

have no idea what that means 😭

[warm nimbus]

really old DEC stuff u dont need to know

[leaden marsh]

Like opreating system right

[warm nimbus]

exactly, what version / build etc

[leaden marsh]

Okay

[warm nimbus]

if you wanna go old, check out Slackware Linux. it was my first linux in the 80s/90s

i still have the shirts 🙂

[leaden marsh]

Ubuntu?

When it comes

[warm nimbus]

Ubuntu based and its my favorite

**debian i meant

[leaden marsh]

I loved kali

[pallid lotus]

But never since

[leaden marsh]

So much

[pallid lotus]

Sorry, you left yourself open to that one

[warm nimbus]

i have kali on my pi, with a battery and wifi

[leaden marsh]

Great

[warm nimbus]

it sniffs traffic lol

[silver sky]

I would like to agree but unfortunately I do have contact with humans 😂

[pallid lotus]

Getting slapped and watching them walk away doesn't count

[warm nimbus]

🙂 i personally left school because they didnt have computers.

[pallid lotus]

Nah, I meant Wide lmao

[warm nimbus]

ohhh gotcha lol

so i bought a bunch of tokens for various LLMs and using a rest api , i was able to get my raspberry pi to gather info

[pallid lotus]

For the sake of the #general population, I would like to make it clear that I am joking with @silver sky, and for the record he is indeed a socially functional human being ♥️

[devout condor]

challenges one, practical 😄

[grizzled wing]

i just earned Packet Master !!! 🎉

[warm nimbus]

[rapid merlin]

[silver sky]

That statement is questionable.

[pallid lotus]

Your words

[grizzled wing]

Fred Durst is into cyber security ? cool

[warm nimbus]

tcpdump, ethereal and then its called wireshark ugh its still the same stuff

[warm nimbus]

with really annoying ways of unerstanding what you're looking at lol

[silver sky]

Never heard of the song Break Stuff? That was about computer systems.

[grizzled wing]

Fred Durst is Red Team with "give me something to break"

[knotty pendant]

[grizzled wing]

haha

[warm nimbus]

It's just one of those days!

Thats why i mostly picked that as my PFP

[devout condor]

https://tryhackme.com/room/wreath this one looks siiiick!

[warm nimbus]

I had to write a keylogger to find my wife cheating on me , this is a long time ago and i do not condone it

[grizzled wing]

wow

[silver sky]

[warm nimbus]

i used VBS

[devout condor]

which room did u complete to achiev this one :D? greatz

[grizzled wing]

TShark challenges 1 & 2

[silver sky]

Ever heard of the term, self incrimination?

[warm nimbus]

oh shes dead

[silver sky]

[warm nimbus]

i dont think anyone cares 🙂

[silver sky]

Yikes

@mossy river

[grizzled wing]

umm

woodstock

[warm nimbus]

i deleted that code, felt terrible but it was for the best - she was harming my family

[mossy river]

I care 😄

[warm nimbus]

yeah like damn u cant have 2 kids with me and then do that? behind my back, on MY computers i built for you

[vague dragon]

does overthewire bandit challenge is worth it to waste ur time in ?

[pallid lotus]

I'm biased, but... It is. When the infrastructure works.

[devout condor]

just read that its yours*rooms ;D looks amazing!

[mossy river]

I meant.. you shouldn't be actively admitting to committing a crime in a public Discord server

[warm nimbus]

oh i admitted it to the police

[real night]

There are no wasted time if you enjoyed and happy about it, maybe search for forums how's their experience on it

[devout condor]

but i doubt it takes 45m to finish it LOL

[vague dragon]

how to find these forums

[warm nimbus]

they dont care, and shes deceased , so whatever crime i may or may have not done is moot point

[devout condor]

i really dont understand time estimation on THM hahaha

[real night]

You google.

[mossy river]

Regardless, please don't bring up drama in here, it's supposed to be a professional infosec community 😓

[vague dragon]

i mean to learn ethical hackin is it worth it

[pallid lotus]

Last I checked it's not actually illegal to install a keylogger on a device you own, right? Morally in this context, is another matter entirely...

[warm nimbus]

yes that wasnt drama, it was just a way i explained that i used my skills for my life LOL

[harsh surge]

Happy Holi all!

[warm nimbus]

Also none of us got here without doing something shady at some point

[pallid lotus]

I suspect if there was a legal case then it would need to revolve around the intention behind someone else using the system, but again, not even sure if there's legal backing for that.

Think of all the spyware marketed to parents, for example.
We all know what it's actually used for -- which is disgusting -- but it's technically not breaking the law.

Unfortunately

[warm nimbus]

i didnt do anything illegal i had a lawyer and checked lol

[mossy river]

This is completely fair and correct, I got tunnel visioned 😅

[pallid lotus]

Fair 😆

[silver sky]

Ethically questionable tho

[warm nimbus]

i would NEVER hack another person to see something im not supposed to

yes it is

[pallid lotus]

But yeah, not condoning it by any stretch. Please do not spy on people lmao

[mossy river]

At least you have a level of self awareness, not a lot of people can see that 😄

[warm nimbus]

i dont condone it at all, but this was like my property, and my children at stake

[grizzled wing]

it is 🥧 Day (also)

[silver sky]

Especially if you're a certain three letter agency. Go away stop spying on everyone.

[grizzled wing]

FBI CDC GDC

[warm nimbus]

I do all testing in a sandbox, no real world testing without anything official

[grizzled wing]

sandbox with toys

[silver sky]

NSA being the answer.

[warm nimbus]

plus i dont want to lol , why would i want to risk my freedom to be like "hey im cool" naah

[grizzled wing]

that is one of the many letter combinations

[lyric dragon]

I need a Guy wich help me to crack a WhatsApp account can someone do for me plz

[blissful snow]

i been on a ctf for a hour and im just noticing i couldn't solve it because i miss one line of js 😭

[rapid merlin]

That’s not true. I didn’t do anything shady

[silver sky]

@mossy river can help

[warm nimbus]

Some people just have to learn that way, i learnt because i had to. To each their own?

[grim sparrow]

:hammer: adna236khan#0 has been banned.

[mossy river]

[silver sky]

Sorry 🤷‍♂️
