[rapid merlin]

happy you are here

[icy schooner]

98% people are wasting time here

[carmine tinsel]

wat should we be doing

[rapid merlin]

@icy schooner what % are you?

[icy schooner]

in 98

[rapid merlin]

@carmine tinsel find some kind of path on THM that seems to align with you

@icy schooner that's fair 🙂

[carmine tinsel]

penetration testing is what im interested in

[rapid merlin]

very cool, sounds like maybe red teaming, although THM has so much content to explore

[carmine tinsel]

honestly my immediate goal is just to finish THM/HTB pentesting modules

I keep getting sidetracked by random rooms but maybe 1 day

[rapid merlin]

setting your own goals to achieve them is a brilliant approach

it takes time that's for sure, yet one day at a time it seems to happen

[crystal mauve]

-_- ;; what

[rapid merlin]

will AI chat bots be discriminated? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_smell

[crystal mauve]

Let's not talk about AI please

[rapid merlin]

fine by me

[crystal mauve]

How bout SSRF

[rapid merlin]

or old school THM rooms https://tryhackme.com/hacktivities/search?page=78&kind=rooms&searchText=&order=newest

remembering the HeartBleed days

[crystal mauve]

I actually didn't do it yet

[rapid merlin]

it's a pretty good one imo

if you do it, let us know your thoughts on that one

[crystal mauve]

Once I'm done w the pathing I'll hit the rooms ~

[carmine tinsel]

All code has a smell, it's the scent of unwashed programmers

[crystal mauve]

U know how gobuster gives a list of domains, is there a tool that auto opens those domains ? Say if it's less than 20 or so, maybe for CTFs?

Feels tedious to open page by page

If there's not was thinking it would b an easy script to write , right ?

[rapid merlin]

interesting question, I've never felt the need to "auto open" what gobuster reveals

could maybe feed it into ZAP

importing etc.

[crystal mauve]

Guess I'll write it n call it goblaster

[alpine aurora]

i like to hear abut bug bounty how and what do it meen acoting to hacking

[cerulean nest]

if i have wsl2 on my windows cna i still run vmware workstation VMs?

the wsl vm is shutdown

shut down*

[crystal mauve]

Ahh that's cool

That and a chatgpt integration to obsidian integration would b lovely

[tardy garden]

anyone have avg antivirus ?
when I do scans , it tells me that I have 5g system junks ?!
what are these ?

[spark flint]

CHAT

revivveeddddd

pls chaty

[elder peak]

Yes

[cerulean nest]

kk thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @elder peak (current: #267 - 27)

[urban robin]

is there a bug with streaks?

i have had a 1 day streak for 3 days, but have done a lesson a day

[steady pewter]

I know somebody was saying they had a good 6 day streak and then it disappeared for no reason, but hang on, lemme see if I can find the message to see if they resolved it.

[urban robin]

Much appreciated even if you cannot find it

[rapid merlin]

@urban robin maybe this might help clarify https://help.tryhackme.com/en/articles/6596150-how-do-streaks-work

[steady pewter]

Yeah, can't find it...

[rapid merlin]

I am on streak 163 and make sure to see that increment daily due to doing some kind of event

[spark flint]

@rapid merlin wanna help me with stuff

[rapid merlin]

otherwise I would seek supports help

[steady pewter]

Maybe I just had a "Am I from a parallel universe?!" moment...again..

[rapid merlin]

stuff?

[urban robin]

Yeah, nope see the issue. Not consistently doing 3 questions a day. Thanks for help @steady pewter and @rapid merlin

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @steady pewter (current: #572 - 10)

[steady pewter]

wait, you have to do 3 questions a day now?

[spark flint]

yeah, my kali is acting up quirky

[urban robin]

That’s what it says in the forum that sandwich linked

[steady pewter]

huh...

[rapid merlin]

use the THM AttackBox and/or reinstall/refresh your Kali install

[cloud quiver]

No , as far as i know

[rapid merlin]

that's my guess

https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/updating-kali/

it's rolling release, so quirky might be a thing

[steady pewter]

I don't see anything about 3 questions a day..

[rapid merlin]

I had to manually build the source to firmware during a -beta OS release 😄

≥ 3 events daily if you want a solid green square on THM

under "Yearly activity" in your profile

[grizzled wing]

discord had to update

[steady pewter]

ah..

[grizzled wing]

Lord of Guinea Pigs

[steady pewter]

nvm

[steady pewter]

Hello root vegetables.

[grizzled wing]

how are your diplomatic duties ?

[steady pewter]

They are unknown.

[knotty pendant]

is there a room about defacing a site

[grizzled wing]

undefined

[steady pewter]

NULL.

[steady pewter]

uh...

[grizzled wing]

ok

[knotty pendant]

and my nmap stop working

[rapid merlin]

once you solve a challenge on a THM site, I'm sure you can mod the index page to say #greetz to people in discord here 😇

[grizzled wing]

|| thm{you_did_it_hacker} ||

[rapid merlin]

even better is doing a write-up of your successful experience

[knotty pendant]

how does the fbi deface a site

[rapid merlin]

I suspect with an impressive legal team

[steady pewter]

should we call a mod?

[knotty pendant]

why

[grizzled wing]

🖋️ dear hacker strangers, i write my solution to solving a THM challenge room, please find my solutions helpful

[knotty pendant]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-microwave-burnt-bye-cat-gif-25613088

[rapid merlin]

cats! 🐈 ❤️

[grizzled wing]

is something happening in chat that needs a mod?

[steady pewter]

I'll have a oven roasted footlong, please.

[steady pewter]

Honestly, don't know.

[knotty pendant]

kitty /yeat

[grizzled wing]

hacker log, i found some techniques for a room, it shall come in hand when i HACK THE PLANET

[knotty pendant]

why did my nmap scan like 100 open ports🧐

[rapid merlin]

-F? 🤔

[vocal turret]

I'm looking for a way to hack someone using a nfc tag I've bought it but I don't know what to write on it

[knotty pendant]

i just sudo nmap <ip>

[steady pewter]

okay, that's it.

[steady pewter]

@sick lance

[grizzled wing]

📻 )))

[knotty pendant]

i dont think thats legal

[vocal turret]

This is a discord to learn hacking and stuff right?

[steady pewter]

Ethically!

[vocal turret]

I don't mind

[grizzled wing]

you stated you bought it so should be ok

[knotty pendant]

you can get in trouble with law enforcement

[vocal turret]

Hmm

[rapid merlin]

"looking for a way to hack someone" sounds like a violation of our policies here on ethical hacking unfortunately

[vocal turret]

What are the possibilities of using nfc tags

What is the "most" you can do with it

[grizzled wing]

i misread that , yikes

[rapid merlin]

can you verify your registered THM account?

[vocal turret]

Wth is that

[rugged kayak]

vro pinging mod at 4am 😭

[grizzled wing]

we are not supposed to mention verification anymore now

[knotty pendant]

@vocal turret if you want to hack something make a lab or something

[rapid merlin]

it should be what brought you to this discord

[grizzled wing]

coercing new users

i was told by scrubz

[vocal turret]

I thought this was some hacking discord

[steady pewter]

I suspect something..suspicious.

[vocal turret]

I found on the dark Web

[knotty pendant]

it is

[knotty pendant]

🧐 👀

[grizzled wing]

dark web has onions

[vocal turret]

Yes ik

[rugged kayak]

would you wake up at 4am to moderate

[steady pewter]

Onions are best cooked.

[knotty pendant]

did you get hacked on dark web

[vocal turret]

No

[grizzled wing]

you know it !

[vocal turret]

I just want to get "revenge" on somebody and I order nfc tags and thinking of a way to do smth

[rapid merlin]

don't forget about 🧄 routing

[grizzled wing]

you want to learn to hack, that itself is noble, but hacking others is not

[sand furnace]

What a wild chat to see first few minutes in the general chat

[knotty pendant]

i got rate limited on another site😳 🤯

[rugged kayak]

my advice is to grow up and stop seeking revenge

[vocal turret]

Ik I sound so corny rn 😭

[vocal turret]

U wouldn't understand man

[rapid merlin]

I do not believe this is the right place for what you are looking for

[grizzled wing]

normal chat is UK 9-5, where mods are most active

[knotty pendant]

what did the person do to you

[vocal turret]

Yeah I dont think so either

[rugged kayak]

i understand very well

and seeking revenge is not solution

[vocal turret]

Don't worry about that but I just want to find a way

[knotty pendant]

did they dox you or sum

[rugged kayak]

also you are asking for something illegal on public server

[sand furnace]

Makes sense on the time, I'm in US TZ.

[vocal turret]

I thought this was some illegal server at first 💔

I guess not

[grizzled wing]

we are still a bunch of cool ethical hackers though. welcome !

[rugged kayak]

illegal server with 270k members?

[vocal turret]

What can I do here

[rugged kayak]

yap about thm rooms

[vocal turret]

Wth is that

[knotty pendant]

https://tryhackme.com

[grizzled wing]

tryhackme = THM

[vocal turret]

So um

[rapid merlin]

this is more of a cybersecurity educational community on ethical hacking

[vocal turret]

Let's say someone try's hacking me using ngc tags what's the most they can do and how can I prevent that

[rugged kayak]

reverse psychology wont work

[rapid merlin]

it is the last place to find any form of malware or fraud

[rugged kayak]

just drop it and move on with your life

its not worth it

[grizzled wing]

THM has no content you seek for iilegal activity

[vocal turret]

Hmm

[sand furnace]

Always happy to meet new ethical hackers.

[vocal turret]

Guys is doxxing legal in Australia?

[grizzled wing]

its illegal in most places

[rapid merlin]

it makes me wonder how much time is wasted on thinking this place is resourceful for that?

[rugged kayak]

this mf is determined

[rapid merlin]

so much wasted efforts

[steady pewter]

okay, I'm outta here and going to focus on refining my obsidian notes.

[grizzled wing]

so are you new to cyber security?

[grizzled wing]

obsidian is great, have fun

[steady pewter]

but at the same time...

https://tenor.com/view/jon-stewart-eat-eating-popcorn-watching-gif-3094746547306242594

[grizzled wing]

the name used to be clever and fun, but it should be changed, new people are missing the message behind the name

[rapid merlin]

I hear ya

[rugged kayak]

i mean hackthebox, vulnhub, vulnlabs

it all has some sort of hacking in the name

[rapid merlin]

branding must be complex business 🙂

[rugged kayak]

it will attract certain demographic always

[grizzled wing]

• hack the box, yes, you hack the machine box , no ideas for hacking anything else
• vulnlab, focus is on the labs meant to be vulnerable to hack

[sand furnace]

That would depend on the definition of new. I'm working hard to understand proper methodologies and implementations of my own custom tools. I spent my final year in college writing my own tools for pen-testing. So I understand the generics and a higher level on concepts. Today I focus more on the blue team side of vulnerability remediation and patching but would like to improve on exploitation and creating my own technical reports for bug bounties in the future.

[rapid merlin]

regardless, the site is still fun and educational

[rugged kayak]

just stop

you will get banned when mods wake up

[vocal turret]

I'm being genuine

[rugged kayak]

and me too probably because i was talking with you

[grizzled wing]

that is a no, you ar not nw. just new around here, that's cool. blue team is what i enjoy

[steady pewter]

Personally, I like red teaming.

[rugged kayak]

you cant escape the consequences

[vocal turret]

I am new to this cyber security and looking for ways to protect myself from hackers 😎

[grizzled wing]

you really should consider not typing crimes into chat

[rapid merlin]

I spent a good 5+ years doing cyber research coding, this place has been amazing to learn from, not to mention the people/connections

[blazing granite]

Did somebody try Joplin for note?

[steady pewter]

Not bad.

[grizzled wing]

ah, i like red team but blue team is for me. either way we all are purple

[steady pewter]

Yeah. That is true.

[vocal turret]

Okay guys forget this hacking thing I just got some nfc tags and what should I do with it

[grizzled wing]

Duo Lingo teaches you the word for ethical

[steep mountain]

Hello I am new to THM, any suggestions on what to do first?

[grizzled wing]

#start-here

[sand furnace]

Security and Threat research are my long term goals as a career. I'd love to work in a group such as CIS to work on their benchmarks and identifying improvements to help in creating and configuring those recommendations to be more effective and/or clear to communicate. What kinda coding research did you do if you don't mind my asking.

[vocal turret]

Try hacking me 😎

[grizzled wing]

https://tenor.com/view/horatio-gif-26721829

[vocal turret]

Am I sigma

[grizzled wing]

Sigma is Greek letter

[blazing granite]

like somebody told you 10 minutes ago, drop it and move on with your life. No matter how many times you mention the subject, you are not going to find the answer of that here.

[inner goblet]

Is tryhackme down?

[blazing granite]

no for me

[steady pewter]

Uh, not for me.

[rapid merlin]

self funded cryptovirology and street outreach using my psychology training

[inner goblet]

I’m getting a “do-connect” “error nt_status_Io_timeout” I pinged 10.10.10.10 and I’m good so idk

[steady pewter]

uh, try restarting the room, perhaps?

I don't really know so take my advice with a grain of salt.

[blazing granite]

I'm Rex

[steady pewter]

🦖

[orchid pawn]

You

Stop hunting e-girls

[vocal turret]

Okay yk what I'll stop but rn I'm being srs I've ordered some nfc tags online and I have no clue what to do with them or how they work

[rapid merlin]

you seem to be fishing for an answer 😄

[vocal turret]

I heard that they can like automate tasks like open my music app when tagging them

[vocal turret]

You probably think I'm looking for something illegal but I just want to find any use of them

[rapid merlin]

I can't wait to hear you share about your THM progress 🙂

[blazing granite]

you can return them if you don't know what to do with them, you're not getting that answer here, kid 🙂

[vocal turret]

Got them off temu very cheap

[sand furnace]

That is an interesting one. I've played some in cryptovirology concepts and encryption as part of my studies with a book called black-hat python. I'd really like to delve further into understanding data cryptography.

[rapid merlin]

THM has some amazing rooms on related subjects, not to mention many cryptography related rooms

[vocal turret]

$1 AUD for 15 I bought but like can I use them as business cards because that's what I heard people say and I need help with that

[grizzled wing]

theres lots for cryptography

[steady pewter]

It's a very large field, mostly mathmatics.

[grizzled wing]

not a section but 5+ rooms

[grizzled wing]

indeed it is, yesterday was 🥧 day

[steady pewter]

I have those digits memorized to heart.

[whole yew]

what exactly are you trying to do?

[grizzled wing]

same

[sand furnace]

I've been hard-focused on the pen-testing side for now, just working to understand some tool basics although exploit development is another piece to my puzzle I've seen a few rooms mention on there.

[grizzled wing]

Gobuster

FFUF for the ff win

[whole yew]

You can recommend people verify for perms, but some were demanding it from new people and it did not feel welcoming

[steady pewter]

huh.

[blazing granite]

happy belated pi day 🙂

[whole yew]

i expect two of these for tau day

[grizzled wing]

for my context, i was joking with new user about how they knew the iterations of their username, we chatted for a minute or so, they i jokingly said 'oh yea, prove it by verifying'. this person understood i was joking.

[steady pewter]

phi day is underrated, as it doesn't really exist..

[whole yew]

I would say that's fine

[grizzled wing]

thats what i felt. thanks

[twin ridge]

[steady pewter]

So, today I found my old Wii U and dusted it off. Everything still works.

[grizzled wing]

wiiii

you go to wiiii University

[rapid merlin]

I wonder if you have any games for it?

[grizzled wing]

7 games i guess

[steady pewter]

Tons. Found all the CDs too.

[grizzled wing]

> 7?

> 42?

not a metric tonne

[steady pewter]

if CD_count >= 7:
print("Yes")

Program output:
Yes

[grizzled wing]

if CD_count == 42:
   print("not a ton")

💿 * x

[steady pewter]

they all together do weigh 2,240 pounds though.

[grizzled wing]

Lbs , i see

[steady pewter]

But also are estimated around 1,000 KGs

[rapid merlin]

that's a lot of fun

[grizzled wing]

very nice

Wiiii Hacking University

[steady pewter]

Wii VulnVersity

haha

[rapid merlin]

THM consoles would be a wild experience

[grizzled wing]

Wii VulnVersity ™️

[steady pewter]

Yeah, that'd be cool.

imagine one day you are casually checking your mailbox and then you get a package:
THM-Console ™️

[rapid merlin]

🙂

[grizzled wing]

chat has come up with

• THM dating app
• THM gaming console

[rapid merlin]

we are covering all the bases today 😄

[steady pewter]

out of scope:
part 1

[grizzled wing]

we need a THM sandwich or food item

[steady pewter]

THM root veggies

[grizzled wing]

🫚

[steady pewter]

Ethically of course.

[crystal mauve]

Samsung s24 FE or iphone 14?

which do you choose ?

[steady pewter]

Neither, I choose the pine phone!

[crystal mauve]

wats that

rly

[steady pewter]

yeah, it's open source, well..mostly.

[steady pewter]

You can slap your own OS on there.

kinda, yeah.

[crystal mauve]

Cons: Limited everything

[steady pewter]

Pros:
Learn the hard way why system files should never be touched by an end-user

[finite basalt]

Meanwhile I'm on my way home from I night out I didn't expect to make it two, I have spent two thirds of a day drinking and now it's sleepy time

It's half four in the morning

[steady pewter]

my king in a calming game of chess:

It's always quiet this time.

[crystal mauve]

Better than the kiddos running around earlier 😜

[steady pewter]

definitely 💀

[crystal mauve]

So how much do those pine phones go for

[steady pewter]

Kinda forgot.

[crystal mauve]

Interesting there's switches to turn off camera

[steady pewter]

I got one like..6 years ago, can't use it now, mostly because they're really old, and only work with like..I believe..3G?

But I don't really use it for phone calls.

[rugged kayak]

maybe get google pixel if you want graphene

[crystal mauve]

You use Linux on it ?

[steady pewter]

yeah.

[steady pewter]

Ironic the only phone you can truly de-google is from google.

[crystal mauve]

Can't b true

[rugged kayak]

yep

[crystal mauve]

Lol they must have a backdoor 😂

[rugged kayak]

[steady pewter]

Then somebody redecorates it to become their front door.

[dark mason]

If you guys want real privacy

Use tails

(NSA might still have a backdoor tho)

i run lineage on my xiaomi

phone feels like brand new honestly

lots faster

more responsive

[steady pewter]

hmm, have to try it out.

I'm just going to pretend I never read that.

[rugged kayak]

depending on your device it may require some fucky wucky

[crystal mauve]

xiaomi

[rugged kayak]

i had fucky wucky with unlocking bootloader because xioamis app is dogshit

[steady pewter]

have a good night.

[spark flint]

anyone watching f1 rn?

[prisma fractal]

hello everyone i am new here from india

[steady pewter]

Yeah, I'm currently watching my function key.

[spark flint]

ah good

[crystal mauve]

Xiaomis contraband in US?

[steady pewter]

yeah, is it? If so, nevermind on trying it.

[crystal mauve]

Possibly Huawei is I believe

"capitalist empire" wouldn't take on the Chinese competition

[steady pewter]

oh well, I'll do my research on the ethics of it.

[crystal mauve]

Spyware supposedly

I wonder what neat phones North Korea has

[steady pewter]

today #general has been..busy--to say the least.

[crystal mauve]

Hahaha 🤣 even a Nintendo switch has more comms

Well we aren't exempt from censorship in the states

Can't even pull live financial data into chatgpt for analysis

[blissful snow]

hi can someone explain collusion attacks

[steady pewter]

why is your description ctf over and over, forever?

[blissful snow]

because

do ctf, ctc,ctf

then sometimes i take a break

and do a ctf

[wicked iris]

Hello from philippines

[steady pewter]

hello

[carmine tinsel]

real af

I've started getting into CTFs

I'm not great at them but they're addictive

[carmine tinsel]

filipino mode activated

[mellow narwhal]

when two plaintexts point to the same hash

[steady pewter]

anyways, gn everyone

[near sapphire]

is there a better method to finding those than just bruthforce

[ashen marsh]

lol

[ashen marsh]

how are u my brother

[mellow narwhal]

I don't think so, it's very difficult to find

and likely requires insane amounts of computational power, not something that you can run on a home PC

like, data centers/crypto miners type shit, maxed out

[near sapphire]

old hashing algorithms like md5 or sha1 have some known collusion attacks iirc

[mellow narwhal]

yeah md5 does

it was in the university ctf, I tried so hard to find collisions for existing users. I realized after the challenge ended that you could register your own users

smh thats the most 'it hit me later' challenge of all time lol

[near sapphire]

why do the easy way when you could do it hard

[mellow narwhal]

and end up not getting it at all

i hate bruteforcing challenges

I skip them mostly because my CPU dies on me and the fans start spinning at full speed whenever I start bruteforcing an RSA key or something

[blazing granite]

it looks like you need new hardware 😂

[mellow narwhal]

oh indeed I do

[granite tundra]

is it just me or someone else is having trouble to load room page ?

[near sapphire]

idt ctfs usually have bruthforce challenges for rsa keys, the public key is usually given anyway

[cedar herald]

Guys whats a good laptop or doesent really matter nowadays?

[blazing granite]

depends on what want to use your laptop for

[mellow narwhal]

i'm talking about a case when the public key is given

...that's how bad my hardware is

[blazing granite]

I guess if you want to move comfortably not less than i7 or Ryzen7 and 16GB RAM

[near sapphire]

just use an online factoring tool if ur trying to bruthforce factor the private keys

[wicked iris]

👍

[blazing granite]

I have a i7 16GB, Ryzen 7 32 GB, and a desktop computer i7 64GB

[wicked iris]

That is a good rig

[blazing granite]

first 2 are laptops, dell an lenovo

[wicked iris]

Mine is only i5 2500k unlocked n 8 yrs old now going stronger

[mellow narwhal]

I'm so fucked

[blazing granite]

it'll take a while 😛

[mellow narwhal]

a while?? it'll take years

[polar spoke]

There are known collision attacks for several algorithms

[mellow narwhal]

I only have until tonight

[blazing granite]

https://tenor.com/view/joke-dumb-you-gif-8906255

[near sapphire]

just rent a quantum computer

[mellow narwhal]

totally

[wicked iris]

👍

[near sapphire]

wtf r u bruthforcing anyway

[blazing granite]

look into google lab, I think it was. I saw John Hammond use it in a video when he needed to crack something

[mellow narwhal]

xor key

[near sapphire]

ah

[polar spoke]

Just don’t use hashcat with collab, it will get your instance shut down

They don’t allow it on the free collab GPUs

[blazing granite]

yes was collab, so they change it now, it was a while ago

[cedar herald]

Would just be like general web usage and stuff for coding/cyber

[blazing granite]

I guess too many people were using their power and they restricted now

[polar spoke]

Yeah

[blazing granite]

I like to be comfortable with the machine, I hate when things won't open instantaneously, etc, I'd go minimum i7 16GB but depends on your budget

[obtuse swift]

arch linux is perfect learning and productivity

[blazing granite]

any linux for that matter

[cedar herald]

Fair fair. Just yeah wanted to see if like to avoid anything specific but seems like stuff is pretty similar provided you get X GB and whatnot

[blazing granite]

I'm not on the arch hype wagon, it's nice for learning, I wouldn't use it as my daily driver or for something serious, because of the risk of broke with every update

[blazing granite]

lenovo are usually linux friendly, dell are good too, some dells have hybrid gpu nvidia/intel try to avoid those they will wreck your life if you use linux 😂

[cedar herald]

Lmfao fair fair
What even is the advantage of Linux in that case just cause yeah aside for needing it for cyber stuff.

[rapid merlin]

I can name tons of advantages besides "cyber stuff"

[blazing granite]

more secure system, less resources needed in general, so your pc/laptop will last longer without lagging in Linux than in windows, windows is ram and cpu hungry 😂

also Linux soft is quality without paying a dime, window soft free there are a lot of shit, or very restrictive soft.

Of course Linux has a learning curve and other mindset, but it's more than doable even more today, back in the day it was more complicated to get into linux because of the lack of docs or because of hardware incompatibilities today those are minimal compare what was in the beginnings, I know because I was there 🙂

[rapid merlin]

Windows is too cluttery and clunky for me. Linux just much more cleaner for me. My workflow is streamlined with linux. Using QubesOs as my main driver, I can quickly switch from my professional, personal/private, and social lives since I have them separated into VMs.

Can program on one machine, listen to music and play chess on another, surf twitter/facebook on another, etc. All from one computer..

[queen flare]

what distro do you use gnu-rex

[wicked iris]

Back in the day I also use the Linux backtrack

You can also double boot win & linux

[blazing granite]

back in the day I used slackware, that meant, no package system, I used to compile everything, even kernel and modules to add hardware support, also didn't have a graphic login 🙂

I also used Solaris, SCO, and FreeBSD

[maiden shell]

what happen if i have 90 day streak i cant get any streak freeze again aslo if im lose the 1 day streak freeze equipped ?

[cedar herald]

Dope any specific one you recommend I'm guessing mint cause Kali isn't used as daily?

Or parrot

[queen flare]

would you guys recommend participating in physical ctfs right after completing cybersecurity 101 only, without any prior hacking knowledge?

[blazing granite]

if you have any day of streak and you miss a day and don't have any streak freeze, your streak count go back to 0

[queen flare]

this
but thm support is really nice and if you ask them, they would usually reset your streak if you just accidentally missed a day somehow

[blazing granite]

mint is nice, base on ubuntu so no much issue with hardware support even if it a bit difficult

[wicked iris]

Yap Ubuntu is great

[normal fable]

I have opinions on Ubuntu...

hi

[blazing granite]

it works out of the box, it's stable, what more can you ask 🙂 I personally use fedora, but I have ubuntu in a laptop with a bit of weird hardware

[wicked iris]

Agree

[blazing granite]

everybody has opinions on everything, but you can't deny that is great at hardware support, and works out of the box, it doesn't have to be extremely complicated just because it's Linux 🙂

[wicked iris]

👍

[normal fable]

I'd argue that Debian is better.. and it's the base.. but also who am I to argue? I started with Slackware 1. LOL

[wicked iris]

Takes time to learn but worth it

[normal fable]

I do like EndeavourOS better than Ubuntu but I'm not a new user of Linux.

[wicked iris]

Fedora, Ubuntu, debian it's an icing on top of the cake it's all Linux kernel

[normal fable]

Well yeah kinda..

[queen flare]

every linux user has opinions on every other distro, apart from the one he uses

[normal fable]

Last time I tried to use Ubuntu (recently) I had hardware support issues and it was buggy.. so I have a biased opinion I think based on that. However.. it is great for people just getting into Linux and power users of Linux too... can't really say that it's not good.. Just preference I think.

[blazing granite]

Debian is great, super stable distro, but why is super stable, because it's always 2 version sometimes 3 versions behind, I used Debian for years, I alse started with Slackware in 1993, I remember it was July because it was close to my sister birthday 🙂 very first version

[normal fable]

I remember.. wow.. We old. LOL

[blazing granite]

I never had hardware issues with ubuntu and I've using it since version 2 🙂

[blazing granite]

maybe you 😛

[normal fable]

Usually it's like 90+% hardware compat.. my exp anyway.

[blazing granite]

I use Fedora

[normal fable]

Ahhh.. redhat... LOL

[blazing granite]

I used redhat too, before went all corporate

[queen flare]

my main issue with ubuntu is about snaps
they're slow, and the backend of snap store is closed source

[blazing granite]

the old redhat

[normal fable]

CentOS was the downfall if I'm remembering my lineage of Linux... That's when they started charging license fees for enterprise.

They did sell box sets with a disk and books back in the day too. Just for people wanting to learn linux...

[winged ore]

Interesting

[normal fable]

Redhat did

[blazing granite]

some people can't keep their mouth shut and has consequences 😂 Rocky and Alma are Centos like

[normal fable]

Hell.. back then.. even AutoCAD did that.. but it was like $1500 for AutoCAD. 🤣

[blazing granite]

the problem with centos was more political, rh take their support because people on the project were talking shit 😂

loose lips sink ships 😛

[normal fable]

I worked for a company that ran CentOS servers and they were awesome.. I managed them just fine.. packages were good.. everything worked great. Just the fees...

[blazing granite]

rocky and alma are that way too

actually top people from the centos project were the one who started rocky

[normal fable]

Slackware afaik still lacks support.. and is slow to update.. but I still love it. lol

[blazing granite]

2022 last update

[normal fable]

They do mention somewhere I think.. that updating all the things is up to you. It's more for scientific minded people I think.

but I do still want that dang 13.37 box set with the T-shirt...

[cedar herald]

So question, ultimately thinking say I go Ubuntu but evantually want to change to another distro is it pretty like cut and dry with changing like I won't have issues or that in learning the new stuff or is it like majorly different

Also if you had to give Linux to a beginner what ones? Would you say are a good place to start?

Cause I'll be basically starting from scratch if I get a laptop and format it to linux

[blazing granite]

maintain slackware is hell, it was back then when there wasn't the volume of soft that there is right now, I couldn't do it right now without loosing my mind 😛 Actually as soon as I learn about Debian I ran away from Slackaware as fast as I could 😂 it was after 2 years I believe

[normal fable]

There are a lot of things in that question. Ubuntu will be good to start with as it's pretty easy. There are a lot of things that are different between distros.

[cedar herald]

Fair enough, so let's condense it down then. I'll be having to learn Linux, and evantually wanting to hopefully get into cybersec

So from the viewpoint would it be narrowed down or not really

[normal fable]

For college? What's your scenario?

[cedar herald]

Self study

And don't really have access to internet aside from the library and a small dongle at home which is connected to my phone data

[normal fable]

Learning to use linux and learning linux are two different things.

[cedar herald]

And like were talking I've used Linux the tiniest bit through thm

[normal fable]

Self study.. ah.. cool. There are some AWESOME rooms on THM for Linux.

[cedar herald]

Yeah I have trouble focusing in classes to the point I'm falling asleep half the time lol

Hence self study

[pliant cairn]

hi 👋

[cedar herald]

Hey caustic

[normal fable]

I dropped out and started reading books.... lol

[cedar herald]

I have so many books and God I need to read them 😂

[blazing granite]

you can learn a lot with any linux, ubuntu it's easier because they have a lot of things even administration/configuration that you can do it on the gui so there are people who use ubuntu that they don't know which files you have to edit to change configs on the systems, the problem with that it's that you go to other linux and you maybe need to edit some files, so better learn everything on terminal, so you then can apply to every linux

[cedar herald]

Got some for web Dev took notes and I got myself lost so that's being out on the backburner for the moment

[normal fable]

for all you young folk.. those are the things with peper and words that were usually between two cardboard covers...

[cedar herald]

Lmfao I thought those were the pdf files I found

And checks out gnu

[normal fable]

🤣

[cedar herald]

I will say tho

Trying to read a book via pdf file is painful AF 😂

So. Alt and GNU take out the like newbie to Linux. From a cyber perspective what would you say parrot and Kali?

[normal fable]

I prefer Kali as it has all the stuff you will need for pentesting.

I don't know much about Parrot... tbh

[blazing granite]

kali, was thought from the beginning as distro specifically for penstesting, parot is more like a debian with a bunch of tool on top of it. Also Kali is more upto date with soft

[lost bison]

i really like the feel of kali v parrot

idk why

[normal fable]

It's got a good flow to it. Menu is okay.. but I am a console guy myself.

It also has all the tools you will likely need preinstalled.

[blazing granite]

because we grew up with the black screen and a cursor 😂 DOS, and then Linux 😂

[wooden totem]

Parrot got those and more

[normal fable]

black/green or that orange yellow color. LOL

Remember when monitors had tubes?? and rays?? and cathodes?? 🤣

[blazing granite]

I had, green, amber, and with at last when I had a vga but monochromatic 🙂

[blazing granite]

those where heavy as hell

[normal fable]

amber is the color I was thinking of.. couldn't remember the name..

[normal fable]

I had a 19" for my 486..... LOL

[blazing granite]

my first computer was a TI 99 😂

then TI PC, and then XT with a CPU NEC V20 and 1MB of RAM

[rugged lagoon]

HEY, new to TryHackMe

just wanted to ask, do you guys take notes while doing rooms?
if yes how you make notes?

[normal fable]

VIC-20.. then Amiga..

[blazing granite]

I had friends with Amigas, Commodores, and ZX Spectrum

[normal fable]

Need for Speed was a good game on Amiga. 🤣

My dad had a friend who would bring over games for us kids..

[wicked iris]

Hahaaha, mine was 486 back then windows 3.1

[normal fable]

yes 10000%. Take a lot of notes.

[blazing granite]

on my friends amiga, I used to play chessmaster 🙂

[normal fable]

Notetaking is a really personal thing. Take notes in a way that helps you remember.

[rugged lagoon]

ohh okay !! thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @normal fable (current: #57 - 156)

[rugged lagoon]

yes sir

[blazing granite]

486 was much later it's the same arquitecture than pcs nowadays

[normal fable]

I can take notes like dkms on the fdr3 and it would only make sense to me.. but it would help me remember something.. LOL

[blazing granite]

I had the XT that was the first in the line of PC like today ones

[lofty dome]

[cedar herald]

Can't use Kali as daily tho can you?

[blazing granite]

yes new need to take notes of key points or key word as a start point to help you remember. I've seen note that were pages or pages, those are not notes you're writing a book 😛

[normal fable]

Can you? Yes.. Should you?? no..

[wicked iris]

I would luv to join but not so gud in programming, just a couple of yrs learning again

[cedar herald]

Fair enough. Gotta find a nice mix of Kali X daily driver I guess 😂

[normal fable]

Don't let your weak areas prevent you from doing anything. We all have weak areas..

[blazing granite]

you can, nobody will force not to, but it's not recommended, because kali was created with a very specific purpose, to use kali as a daily driver you have to put a lot of soft in kali and change thinks that will defeat the whole purpouse of the distro 🙂

[cedar herald]

Yeah that's valid. Either way I'll figure out what's best for me I guess one way or another lol, just yeah so much to learn 😂 just a tad overwhelming

[blazing granite]

there is a current trend of people wanted to use kali as a daily driver to feel like hackers. Ironically hackers don't use kali as a daily driver, they use it for what was created 🙂

[cedar herald]

So what do people that actually are hackers and whatnot do then?

VM Kali whilst using a Linux distro?

[normal fable]

Kali has tools.. that's the best bit.. otherwise we just have to use our own skills. 🤣

[blazing granite]

kali in a vm for practising, for professional use a lots of time you can use a usb with kali live with persistence, most of the time you can't use and connect your laptop to the system you're testing

[cedar herald]

Ahhh okay

[normal fable]

I've seen some companies use Kali on hardware for testing.. but never for personal learning.

elaborate.. pentesting..

[cedar herald]

My brain hurts lol 😂😂

[blazing granite]

for practising I mean as personal learning 🙂

[normal fable]

Practicing is yes.. personal learning or doing CTF stuffs.. or.. just to have on hand. LOL

VM

[cedar herald]

Fair enough

[ripe vine]

Are we talking red teaming here?

Assumed breach tests are extremely common in the UK, customer gets better value and a comprehensive view of security posture

[rapid merlin]

GUYS ANYONE USING KALI LUNIX VIRTUAL MEACHINE WHEN I RAN IT I GOT ERROR AND WRITTEN ABORTED EVEN THROUGH I HAVE ALL SETTINGS INCULINDG VIRTULIZATION TRUNED ON CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLS 🙏

[blazing granite]

some red, some pentesting that I had the privilege to assist

[cedar herald]

Maybe I should go and do a bit more on thm and figure out where I enjoy most I guess

[normal fable]

stop yelling

[blazing granite]

can you low the caps?

[wooden totem]

Library

[normal fable]

kali.org has some good info on Kali Linux.. I'd start there.

[rapid merlin]

NO SERIOUS

[rapid merlin]

i send you image?

[ripe vine]

Most clients these days don't even want full pentests from what I have experienced, more like a VA with some poking and exploitation if deemed necessary. Bit of a shame really but I get it from a business pov

[blazing granite]

yes serious, you're one sec away of being block 🙂

[rapid merlin]

what i did tho 😭

[cedar herald]

You were told simply calm the caps. That was all

[blazing granite]

I asked to lower the caps and you still do it, so I can't make you lower the caps, but I can make the cap go away from my screen 🙂

[cedar herald]

Gnu. I love it hahah

[rapid merlin]

. it is true bro im not capping

i can even dm you image

[blazing granite]

I'm not your bro

[normal fable]

Translation issue? and don't "bro" people.. it's not cool.

[rapid merlin]

okay my bad

[sick lance]

There is no need to shout.

[rapid merlin]

im just asking if someone knows 😭

[alpine aurora]

moning all

[blazing granite]

about your issue with kali use that error you got to google the issue, kali also have a discord you can ask there

[rapid merlin]

okay can you dm me kali discord?

[ripe vine]

Just google stuff

[alpine aurora]

have you try google

[rapid merlin]

🫡

[alpine aurora]

www.google.com

it a hole new site

[blazing granite]

I don't know it by heart, google kali discord or got to kali website the info is there, in order to dm you the info I had to do what I said before and I'm not your personal google

[rapid merlin]

..

..

[alpine aurora]

sorry if that is to rude all but...

[rapid merlin]

im already got in kali discord 😂

too late

[alpine aurora]

soo why ask

[blazing granite]

one of the most important skills in cybersecurity is the ability of research, if you're asking the URL of the kali server without even bother to look for it, you won't get far in cybersecurity if you don't change that mindset.

[ripe vine]

yeah this job is just being able to google the right thing most of the time 😆

[normal fable]

and how to exploit the search bar so it overflows with all the information you need.. 🤣

[rapid merlin]

i asked 2 mins ago

[rapid merlin]

the only expoloit i know yet is stromBreaker

xd

[alpine aurora]

ya you ask for some think you can google in 2sec

[rapid merlin]

my bad i thoguth humanity exist

[alpine aurora]

is google down

i know my cromecast is

[blazing granite]

it does exist, as so is laziness, asking for something that you can get for yourself in 2 secs, it's lazy.

[alpine aurora]

@rapid merlin my i ask abut you ages ??

[crystal moss]

[blazing granite]

@rapid merlin I don't mind helping you, but I am not going to do the work for you or give you the answers on a silver platter, I'll guide you in the right direction and you'll find your answers.

[alpine aurora]

no no first step what is google 😄

[crystal moss]

where can i learn to script in my bash shell like IppSec or some else? they dont move with typical "cd" or something... just use some scripts

[azure matrix]

do you get paid when you participate in CTF's ??

[queen flare]

some ctfs may have prize money, some don't

you're not doing a job, you're participating in a competition
so getting paid is not a mandate

[azure matrix]

which ones have money and for like how much ? is it truly worth the hustle

[azure matrix]

i guess . so howdo i get paid with my skills ?

[queen flare]

by doing pentesting, red teaming or blue teaming, finding bug bounties etc.

[azure matrix]

alright dope .....web application hacking is my passion !!

[ancient mirage]

just finished the Web Application Pentester module, and got the certificate. 😁 Now i'm gonna do the Red Teaming module.

[timber galleon]

should be stored in a image file 36 characters minimum, then it should be changed every 2 hours and then you should create a new account every second day(remove all previous data on previous account).

[queen flare]

you're almost correct but left out a few important points

that image file should be stored on a flash drive, with no other existing copies
the flash drive should then be placed in a safe inside a SCIF room that electrocutes someone entering the wrong passcode to open the safe and then shoots them with automatic robot miniguns

[eager shell]

nice !

[timber galleon]

and you should hire a intern that gets background checked every hour and has a lie detector test every 4 hours

he will change the pass every hour

[queen flare]

with electrocution and minigun duty as consequences if he fails that test

[timber galleon]

💀

[static acorn]

bro said... "now im gonna do the red teaming module" then said... screw this im getting on GTA

nah bro, i'm gonna start tomorrow lol

he is using his skills he aquired to hack the ingame webapp lol

[ancient mirage]

today is sunday, i did my work lol.

[static acorn]

lmao

🤣

[timber galleon]

sounds like excuses

100 modules a day

thats the minimum

[static acorn]

i would get burnt afte rthe second one

because tryhackme website would get overwhelmed with traffic if you follow your 100 modules minimum doctrine

i think he meant whatever the prequel to this game was

[sick lance]

Technically, none of the games are prequals as they're not story related.

[queen flare]

i've been recommended this game by friends before
might give this a try

[sick lance]

However Silent Hill is probably one of the best psychological horror games, especially Silent Hill 2.

[queen flare]

i have no idea whats the story about, or how the series works

except that its horror

[queen flare]

a kid once told me face to face that he knows javascript and can hack into my google account if he ever finds out what my email is

[wooden totem]

do I have to ask what http browser desync is

[queen flare]

don't worry
i have no idea what it means either

i found a few articles by searching google that i'll read later

[wooden totem]

I like searching google by manually typing the link because I don't have a browser

[queen flare]

you mean you don't have a search engine

because if you're typing the link and can access it, that means you have a browser

[wooden totem]

[jaunty charm]

Hi, if you got banned, there's probably a good reason.

[spark flint]

In doubting my life

[brittle heron]

[spark flint]

[brittle heron]

ig it can and it cannot

[fringe nacelle]

[spark flint]

elaborate

[candid igloo]

hi y’all whats the best programming language for cybersecurity

[brittle heron]

if you know how to find vulnerabilities using scripts or manual testing the you get the basic knowledge from thm and rest you get by yourself

[jaunty charm]

Personally, I use Python a lot.

[cloud quiver]

Depends , python and js are important in the field 🙂

[brittle heron]

yeaa py is pretty good

how can i rank up,any thing

[jaunty charm]

and as @cloud quiver said, JS too

[candid igloo]

what can u do with python?

[candid igloo]

js = java script?

[cloud quiver]

Yes 🙂

[fringe nacelle]

Anything that your mind can think of.

[jaunty charm]

everything your brain can imagine

[brittle heron]

yeaa js as well, i made a port scanner in it as my uni minor project

to be exact any language can be used in CS

it's you'r capability

[candid igloo]

[brittle heron]

[spark flint]

We'll pentesting is not realistically dependent on ctf only

[brittle heron]

thats that as well

[spark flint]

well I need a team to help me learn

who with me?

[jaunty charm]

The rooms here are designed to help you learn at your own pace.

[sturdy pike]

I did not get banned. I didn't know the context.

[rapid merlin]

Who got banned

[spark flint]

are free courses enough to be a pentester?

free rooms

[silver sky]

This bot gives rep points when people thank others.

It's a way of tracking those who are helpful in the community

[silver sky]

There's your first one

[jaunty charm]

No, there are some really interesting paying rooms.

[jaunty charm]

and for the price, you really get what you pay for

[jaunty charm]

and I'm not part of the THM team, I really say what I think.

[spark flint]

my mom says i cant spend money anymore

on subscription

[normal cloud]

Loll

[spark flint]

(based on true events)

[grizzled wing]

there are free content to satisfy the needs

[normal cloud]

Why xd

What did u do

[spark flint]

I kinda spent on too much subscriptions

and also the currency here and the subscription fee is different value

[normal cloud]

But thm is the better sub ever

[spark flint]

it might say £16 but in my currency is like 60

[spark flint]

true but I focus alot more on school and stuff so I do thm on a random basis

like one day Im like: "Damn, THM is so boring and tiring. Might aswell play games" then other day it'll be like: "I kinda miss red teaming in thm. Imma get on"

[slate wraith]

ask dad

[slate wraith]

discipline

[spark flint]

dad is not an option

;-;

[slate wraith]

friends

save some money irl and ask friends

[spark flint]

for 60 bucks?

[slate wraith]

is it 60 bucks?

or u mean annual

[spark flint]

no no its the currency difference

[slate wraith]

wait

its 60 bucks for a monthly subscription?

[spark flint]

So the subscription is $10.50 in usd but in malaysia's currency its like RM55

[craggy wadi]

perhaps relative to how much things cost in his/her country, the sub price has a lot more worth than in the UK or USA.

[spark flint]

^

or more actually im not sure

[craggy wadi]

ringit right?

[spark flint]

[spark flint]
