[stiff zodiac]

like wht sacrifices bro?

[modest charm]

wheres the part they mention wearing a hoodie and sunglasses ?

[modern notch]

am also enjoying kali and i also had those questions

[blissful snow]

where do you get these quotes from

[sand trench]

this one is from Silks blog
he is a goon at defcon handling recording hackers and things happening at defcon

[modern notch]

i mean that will be slowly working tbh

[autumn solar]

I'm not gonna tell you where it is but you might want to look at the picture a little harder and read things

[blissful snow]

ohhhh

[sand trench]

those are optional

[alpine aurora]

@modest charm are you ther

[sand trench]

had to pull out archive.org though as something has gone wrong with his blog post of what is a hacker

[stiff zodiac]

isnt there any other way like the windoes remain my main os while i can work on kali?

[sand trench]

it links to a 404 D:

[modest charm]

partially yes.. I still have a lot of work to do today

[blissful snow]

I thought i was gonna look like when i first started

https://tenor.com/view/hacker-hoodie-gif-12540732

[modern notch]

ye

VM

[shy epoch]

What's up

[alpine aurora]

i hate work ;D btw did u see TPB

[blissful snow]

i mean dual booting

[modest charm]

thats the "going to the local caffe" outfit

[elfin jewel]

his challenge is limited to student teams only. To appear on the Chart and Scoreboard, you need to be part of a team and have a student profile. Read more here When this shows does that mean my team dont count?

[blissful snow]

NVM DON'T DO THAT

[modern notch]

first kali launch

[blissful snow]

loool

[shy epoch]

How do you get media perms?

[modern notch]

verify

[shy epoch]

You need to link your thm account like on the htb server?

Oh, damn

I remembered that once a mod banned me from this server

[shy epoch]

Because i said HTB is better than THM

something like that

[shy epoch]

lol

[modern notch]

cool russian hacker page?

[blissful snow]

you might get banned again

[modern notch]

i had those in my town

[stiff zodiac]

ig im not gonna use kali for a while it seems risky + my laptop already lags can't handle anymore

[blissful snow]

kali actually less than windows

windows lags over time

[modern notch]

oh, its gonna be hard for u

but its can still work

[stiff zodiac]

i can sense it

[blissful snow]

also you prob should check out the linux introduction rooms before switching

well it is in the learning path so dwbi

[modern notch]

sry if u can not understand what i say, some english terms are hard for me

[stiff zodiac]

k wait is using kali like a necessity ?

[flint vault]

For osint no need

[blissful snow]

Your doing perfect I couldn't tell

[modern notch]

no but preferably

[modern notch]

tysm

[blissful snow]

yw

[flint vault]

And u can use attack box

[grim sparrow]

:hammer: aidon_researcher#0 has been banned.

[stiff zodiac]

like its a necessity for full timeers?

[blissful snow]

I knew it

[stiff zodiac]

whts tht?

[blissful snow]

prob laggy atm hackfinity

[modern notch]

if u want to work only on pentest learning u can install kali as a main OS

[flint vault]

Is it? I didn't try it yet just doing the osint for now

[blissful snow]

its a linux box for the os in the browser that tryhackme provides

[modern notch]

i have PC on windows for games and laptop on kali for work

[blissful snow]

so you can do tasks

[blissful snow]

same

[dawn palm]

Hi guys, does the complete cybersecurity course (in this case, Pentester, from the introductory course to Red Team) give you the skills you need to work in this field without going to university? Do I need any other courses or websites to improve my skills? Thanks.

[stiff zodiac]

im jus doing all of this on side so like tryna learn not trying to be a full timer

[blissful snow]

I would say you need more skills

hands on experiences

[stiff zodiac]

like a compact version just for learning?

[blissful snow]

yes

[modern notch]

than use kali as main but be ready to some hard moments in sys-administration at begining

[stiff zodiac]

so ig its more preferable for low end devices?

[modern notch]

ye

[modern notch]

or at first is better to learn it on windows

[blissful snow]

I'm not able to show you everyything since my school doesn't like tryhackme

[stiff zodiac]

nah man dont scare me my laptop is surviving jus cuz the cooler works rn

[modern notch]

kali will work faster than windows

[blissful snow]

sys-adminitration is really useful i was gonna skip it as a beginner (dont)

[dawn palm]

Where do you recommend strengthening my skills?

[stiff zodiac]

so i complete rooms on windows first then i should switch to attack box?

[modern notch]

i think its a base for all beginers

[stiff zodiac]

does it compromises with anything tht windows can do?

[blissful snow]

do some ctf, info rooms, and projects

stuff like that for example

[true rock]

Does anyone here knows of a CCNA is enough to become a entry level network engineer?

[blissful snow]

yeah, should've been for me

[idle arrow]

It is not always about certs but knowledge

[blissful snow]

but i didn't know about tryhackme back then

I just wanted to look cool with linux lol

[mossy river]

In future, please can you use the /report command if you think someone is breaking the community rules? 😊
Would be very much appreciated

[wooden totem]

(you kinda prove your knowledge with certs)

[modern notch]

most of operations inside system is inside cmd, so be ready

[cloud quiver]

Yeah CCNA should be enough for entry level networking job 🙂

[blissful snow]

ngl i didn't know that existed 😯

[modern notch]

🙂

[mossy river]

No problem 😄

[blissful snow]

i will next time lol

[idle arrow]

Kindof not true tbh 😄
But you know, there each there own

[hot bane]

Hey are we still able to take part in the CTF as an individual, or do you need a team?

[cloud quiver]

You can but can't win prizes 🙂

[idle arrow]

you can induvidual yes, just create a team of one 🙂

[dawn palm]

yeah sure, but on tryhackme or somewhere else

[sand trench]

one time shadow dreamt they got banned from this discord server

[abstract otter]

Has somebody solved Task 11?

[sand trench]

shadow was very sad about it

[blissful snow]

i used tryhackme most of the time but i also do picoctf

and coding on my on

[idle arrow]

yikes

[true rock]

My apologies if I'm not allowed to reply to you sir. I'm doing a 2 year degree in networking and cyber defense and my class is currently using Cisco and for the final exam we have a Intro to networks course CCNA Final exam.

[modern notch]

am begining with tryhack me , but at first i learned in russian pentest community

[true rock]

Will i get a CCNA cert once I pass it?

[stiff zodiac]

k bro jus one more thing i should use windows rn complete rooms learn the basics then i should switch upto attack box or kali ig?

[blissful snow]

i used network chuck

[cloud quiver]

Yeah CISCO certs. are one of the most recognized in the industry and CISCO has highest market share in terms of networking equipment 🙂

[blissful snow]

he was really helpful to start off with

[wooden totem]

in the dream or after waking up?

[modern notch]

oh i would say my opinion but u have to look on your situation and than make choise

[true rock]

Ohh ok I see thanks for the info 4lc and KGB

[sand trench]

in the dream and after waking up beliving it to be real

[blissful snow]

@cloud quiver heyyy

hru

[stiff zodiac]

my situation is such that i could only give 1 to 2 hour to this cyber security thing in a day

[wooden totem]

if it were real you could easily get unbanned

[stiff zodiac]

so ig im good to go the way?

[cloud quiver]

If you're looking for a career/cert. guidance try to ask guys in #cyber-and-careers channel , they will give you some great advice 🙂

[true rock]

Will do thanks 🙂

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @cloud quiver (current: #1 - 4010)

[sand trench]

true

[modern notch]

than at first learn attack box

and only then kali

i think so

[blissful snow]

wait question if one of us is targeted by the discord bot thing i forgot what it called and we get banned are we allowed to join back on a different account since it wasn't on perpose

[mossy river]

The bot does not autoban you

[stiff zodiac]

ok thnx for the guidance bro

[blissful snow]

the +18 server invite thingy

[sand trench]

think the bot uses the discord timeout system

[mossy river]

Yup that isn't an autoban, that is completely manual.

[blissful snow]

ah

[mossy river]

If you ban, regardless of whether or not you think the bot was right, you need to appeal through the email because your IP address and phone number will still be banned until you are unbanned on your main account.

[blissful snow]

oh okk

discord use to not check the ip or email address

i didn't know they started doing that

[mossy river]

They have done it for quite a long time 😄

[blissful snow]

ah how long

[modern notch]

yw

[blissful snow]

i remember wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back i got ban from some gaming server and i just swap accouns and made my email and user name the same and i could join again

well i changed my username to some different actually

[fathom sand]

anyone managed to solve task 11

[modern notch]

if you have more questions ask in pm

[blissful snow]

someone is one 24 i think

[stiff zodiac]

k bro

[blissful snow]

what does sc17 stand for

[mossy river]

I'm not exactly sure when they started doing it, however it has been a while.
I'm unsure how great the system is because it is Discord at the end of the day 😆

[fathom sand]

i solved almost all the labs except task 11 and 15

[blissful snow]

yeah 😂

[fathom sand]

its short form of my name and birthdate

[blissful snow]

ohhhhh

also i like the pfp

[fathom sand]

[queen flare]

is there a time deadline in hackfinity to complete all chalanges

[blissful snow]

yes i think its live

[crystal mauve]

userInput +"'"; thank you @crystal mauve

[queen flare]

its live but i want to know if there's a deadline to finish it

[distant breach]

Can i get guidance on dark encryptor 2?

[crystal mauve]

have u tried getting help from chatgpt?

[blissful snow]

nvm it works now

[blissful snow]

chatgpt isn't that reliable

if you were to go with an ai i think the best is deepseek atm

[near sapphire]

well its nice to get some low hanging fruits

[near sapphire]

that crashes every other prompt

[blissful snow]

well

forgot about that lool

good but unsable

[distant breach]

?

[blissful snow]

brb switching classes

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @near sapphire (current: #161 - 50)

[crystal mauve]

i have zero issues w/ using chatgpt for notetaking purposes

[blissful snow]

yeah its good for note taking

but help with ctf's nahhhhhhhh

[near sapphire]

eh i've gotten some ideas from chatgpt

[mossy river]

You're missing out.
Note taking is actually one of the most effective ways to convert knowledge from short-term to long-term memory.

By writing the notes out and explaining what you're doing, you are helping to connect neurons and build pathways in your brain

[near sapphire]

obviously it wont solve it but the idea is important

[blissful snow]

i stopped using ai mostly

[mossy river]

If I'm really stuck, I don't mind using ChatGPT, however for most tasks I try to avoid it as it's really easy to become reliant on it

[blissful snow]

yeah i remember when i was

[rapid merlin]

hey people

[blissful snow]

i couldn't do any without runnin to chatgpt

[blissful snow]

hi

[crystal mauve]

i think you missunderstood

[rapid merlin]

whats some great certs that can teach me along the way beginner friendly for blue team hoping to be a digital forensics investigator in the end or a soc analyst

[crystal mauve]

i'm vry note heavy

[mossy river]

I didn't misunderstand don't worry 😄

[rapid merlin]

what are you using to take these notes this would be very helpful for me

[stark nest]

Its Obsidian

[crystal mauve]

? hm these are notes

[mossy river]

Yes but you are copying and pasting from ChatGPT, right?

[rapid merlin]

thank you

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @stark nest (current: #1095 - 4)

[grim sparrow]

:mute: fireshot66#0 has been muted.

[crystal mauve]

no it's a bit more, it's a conversation and then results from conversation

[mossy river]

Yes, so you are copying and pasting from ChatGPT?

[crystal mauve]

intial prompt is material

yes, anything not understood is asked

[blissful snow]

gtg cya

[mossy river]

It's not about it being understood

I have confidence that you understand the material perfectly

[modern notch]

bye

[mossy river]

However, it's the actual act of writing the notes that is beneficial for your brain

It's even better if you can write it with pen and paper and then copy it to your PC.
Other methods include reading it out loud and explaining it to a friend or family member

[stark nest]

Yes writting is Thinking

[crystal mauve]

well if you're being black n white abou it, then you believe that copy pasting a 4 word phrase does less for the brain then typing out a 4 word phrase

[mossy river]

Well, for example "CIA" is an acronym, but remembering that acronym might actually take some time.
And if you have 10 acronyms, that are only '4 word phrases', that's 40 words you're not converting to long-term memory efficiently. You are bound to forget at least one of them

Your note taking is completely up to you, I don't want to step on your toes 😄

[modern notch]

big discussion as for some small word

[wooden totem]

Does anyone actually remember all the acronyms

[crystal mauve]

i mean u do have a point, because everything in blue, even though also copy pasted, i don't fully understand , im not really absorbing it

but some of it i dont feel makes a difference if i wrote it out or not

[modern notch]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1249922800702193736/1252804753323200522/GIF_20240602_080928_395.gif

[mossy river]

It depends on what line of work you are in, some acronyms are used more than others, however that was purely an example to be pedantic 😄

[cerulean nest]

@sturdy mist

u still in team bruh

[mossy river]

It might not, it doesn't hurt to try though 😁

[crystal mauve]

it's difficult tho to organize it so well as it is

[mossy river]

I understand that 100%

[slate wraith]

Even if my own notes look too bad?

[mossy river]

Just remember that it's a marathon not a sprint

[crystal mauve]

yeah ill give that a try thnks

[wooden totem]

I'm not even focusing my notes on trying to remember them, I'm just organizing them in a way so I can easily find and understand it again

[rapid merlin]

i cant even make notes im not able to write 😭

i can never seem to remember things or understand them

[clear jackal]

We have sheets of acronyms, and sometimes things with the same acronyms, so you need to document that lol

[wooden totem]

have you tried understanding why

[stark nest]

I have used obsidian for few months then I realized no matter how hard i try I cant revise them then I switched to anki its a flash card its algorithm is perfect for burning things into my memory

[mossy river]

Well, it depends on what you mean by bad.

All that matters is that you can understand them clearly.
Generally, formatting isn't really important. If they don't look pretty and aesthetic, it's not the end of the world.

I understand that it is demotivating to open notes and them not look amazing.

However, it does matter if your notes are 4 words per line and you're not really explaining anything.
Although they are called notes, don't hesitate to go into detail or explain things that you don't fully understand

[rapid merlin]

yeah

its like with the thm courses

it just dont make sense to me

i have simpled it down using ai

to

[mossy river]

Then you need to suppliment your notes with research

[rapid merlin]

i do

i put why it does it how to do it and what it is

honestly i think its just a problem with my brain

[mossy river]

Don't expect everything to be handed to you in a way you understand.
Forage for your answer because you will come across a ton of different resources that might not be directly related but will help you understand

[rapid merlin]

i have 👍

[mossy river]

Of course this is a factor and it does slow down progress, I would recommend speaking to a healthcare professional to get support if it affects your studies

[rapid merlin]

its fine to be honest

[rapid merlin]

yeah i don't have anything i have spoke to my GP

already

[mossy river]

Your GP can't diagnose you I'm afraid, you need to escalate

[crystal mauve]

ok , ill try to do more of my own jabba, def did pull a bit more out

[mossy river]

I'm currently going for an ADHD diagnosis

[rapid merlin]

book appointment with GP and then they go and put it to a assesor

i was told i have nothing

[mossy river]

If you genuinely think something is wrong, you can always pursue. Doctors aren't always right

[crystal mauve]

coffee does have a similar effect as to what they'd be prescribing anyway/aderall?

[slate wraith]

Okay, thanks

[crystal mauve]

judging from the lack of braces i doubt it weighs as much as it looks

[sand trench]

YAY congratz

[mossy river]

Not necessarily.
I probably wouldn't recommend it, and I can't guarantee it has the same affect for everyone.

A friend of mine who does take medication said that if he drinks an energy drink he has physical energy but not mental energy.
Whereas if he takes his medication it gives him mental energy but not physical energy.

He explained it to say that he needs mental energy to focus and do work, whereas physical energy results in him not able to focus on the right things

[crystal mauve]

hm might have to try some 😮

[rapid merlin]

is there a reason caffiene dont work with me? i try and have energy drinks and everything but it just makes me more tired or does nothing

i need something to help me concentrate

[stark nest]

Is mental energy just motivation?

[loud marlin]

oh johnmake wid about tryhackme SOC sim 🙂

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIPbFFJgD4o

[mossy river]

Kind of? It's more just energy to think and work.

[crystal mauve]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjkrrmBnpGE ever try some of this type of music/ helps me atleast, approach at a slower gear/ not as distracted

[naive violet]

Idk if anyone's mentioned it, I can hope so, but look into "Right to choose" to cut wait times

[mossy river]

^ this, I am currently going through right to choose

[naive violet]

Otherwise it's literally years, yea

im trying to get my gp to do the same rn lol

[mossy river]

It should be really straight forward 😓 I hope they're not messing you around

[upper knoll]

they keep putting off giving me an appoinment

but i hope its not much trouble once i get infront of a doctor.

[mossy river]

You might want to make a formal complaint

I didn't even need to go in, I called, filled out a form and sent an email

[upper knoll]

oh ill try something like that as well then

cause i was orginally refered at 18 and 21 and 23

and ive never been contacted about any of those xd

Taylor Otwell named Laravel after the Laurel Mountain in Pennsylvania, USA. He wanted a name that sounded elegant and sophisticated while symbolizing strength and reliability, much like a fortress or foundation.

The word "Laravel" itself does not have a dictionary meaning but was chosen for its smooth, unique sound and association with something strong and structured—which aligns with Laravel's goal as a solid and well-architected PHP framework.

It's almost like they don't read the rules

[grizzled wing]

why read when tiktok is there ?

[upper knoll]

happens pretty often sadly

[upper knoll]

maybe they should make a tiktok with the rules being read so the zoom zooms can watch that instead?

[desert dirge]

lmaoooooo

[mossy river]

Good idea, I'll make a tiktok where I just point at text on the screen

[desert dirge]

with the little dude chasing rings on the train tracks

[grizzled wing]

since THM has such an account they should

[desert dirge]

with max 10 letters on the screen at a time

yes like that meme with the tapping on the screen with a hand?

with like the pointer hand

maybe that would work

which im pretty sure jabba said was a bad idea before but its honestly dangerous to bridge your connection

problem is to store stuff on it youll have to leave some imprint on the device from the orginal device u used to fill it

i wont how much those old ipods leave as imprints from device to device

tbh might be worth just making something so u can dictate its storage and much more private that way just more effort

[sand trench]

yeah bandcamp and qobuz probably knows what music shadow listens to as they buy it from said sites

[upper knoll]

if i was going full private id say pi running some kind of linux with a ssd and audio port on a jerry rigged device

fill it from a vm with some obsfucation or privacy methods i heard tails is decent as an os but idk i think it still has tracking issues if your base os is windows

youtube definetly knows a lot about me icl

[wooden totem]

what kind of top secret spy documents are you transporting that you care about traces that much

[upper knoll]

you dont need to be carryiing or doing anything special to want privacy

[wooden totem]

that is beyong privacy

[upper knoll]

no thats pretty chill privacy there is so many more levels

[wooden totem]

are you sure we are reading the same thing?

[upper knoll]

yes i wrote it

true privacy is a very hard thing to achieve in the digital age and is wayyyy more intense than that

[wooden totem]

I would like to understand why you would want that (talking about to the degree of "true privacy")

[drowsy dust]

Your phone?

[sand trench]

well shadows desktop linux computer is good enough for transfering the flac files to a sd card to that is then inside the DAP

[sand trench]

not good enough battery life and also very easy to track a phone

[upper knoll]

we all want different things sometimes its peaceful to know your not being tracked

[wooden totem]

is someone hunting you down?

[upper knoll]

i find it an interesting topic so i did a good amount of research into it a while back

[upper knoll]

no lol. im reasonably easy to track

just not through OSINT

poor @boreal scarab went down that rabbit hole

[sand trench]

osint for shadow to be tracked through what music they listen to would be nearish impossible

drm free music files are hard to track

[wooden totem]

did you secretly win the lottery?

[upper knoll]

I WISH

[sand trench]

when it comes to privacy for shadow they are just paranoid

though somehow keeping it in a semi realistic fashion

[wooden totem]

the best privacy is just not becoming a target, I could follow you around in real life without any devices if you were a valuable target (hypothetically speaking of course)

[cerulean nest]

can you like

this is better than my SMB network drive was on demilitary zone and i ddos bunch of websites =/

[grizzled wing]

got another fun picture

[queen flare]

i'm starting to realize that the ctf isn't entirely beginner friendly

i did exceed my expectation of not being able to solve a single challange

[grizzled wing]

🦂 many "beginner" friendly is just not true

beginner to me means simple

[gray sonnet]

[crystal mauve]

how do u feel frodo felt after being chased by Black Riders in Book 1

[loud marlin]

just like i do when they call me in 4 in morning to come to work... like shit...

[queen flare]

are you finding it simple so far?

[crystal mauve]

yeah all my challenges stump me, im on injectics and didnt realize i needed to add the ip in /etc/hosts to start T_T

o.O ty

what's the best way to install feroxbuster on the thms vms?

ive had to install rust n cargo to get the apt version instead of snap

[rapid merlin]

should i use linux as my main os

[crystal mauve]

root@ip-10-10-32-44:~/Desktop# feroxbuster -u http://10.10.146.217 -w ~/Desktop/big.txt
Could not open /root/Desktop/big.txt

[crystal mauve]

prob not

[rapid merlin]

why not?

[crystal mauve]

well you are use to using the functionality on your OS, u can use linux in VMs until u become more comfortable w it

maybe later get a laptop that only uses linux?

[rapid merlin]

couldn't i get use to linux?

[crystal mauve]

yeah prob

the majority of users use win os anyway, so u likely got to become more familiar with both (active directory stuff etc)

[boreal scarab]

On my feet all day

[crystal mauve]

• since ur kinda new ( maybe being in a sandbox env.) vms can keep u safe?

[boreal scarab]

Haven't been on my feet for 8 hours for a very long time

[fading onyx]

Yea I am apparently bad at pentesting :/

[true urchin]

I am even worse I cant complete the "easy" pentesting ctf in the ctf event

[fading onyx]

I think pickle rick is like infant easy compared to ctf event easy

[true urchin]

might be

[fading onyx]

I did work so long in corpo that I cannot think out of the box anymore. I found all the hints but did not figure out they were hints -_-

my brain works like zombie, heh.

[true urchin]

What did you work as?

[true urchin]

thats something you can learn again for sure

[fading onyx]

"security software enginner" but it was more like devops + windows app developer + newbie threat analyzing that ended up in making tons of reports

[fading onyx]

hopefully

a lot of repetitive work in past years.

[leaden aspen]

screenshots coming very soon tho

[vestal bone]

I’ve just did lfi and rfi on thm, isn’t lfi the same as directory traversal?

[proven lark]

can i play hackfinity without team

[sand trench]

not really

[vestal bone]

What’s the difference

[sand trench]

lfi lets you read any file the user that is running the website can read
directory traversal lets you check stuff like the assets folder without arbritary file reads

[vestal bone]

What if it is hosted on the cloud?

[sand trench]

sameish
lfi still lets you read basically any file that is hosted on the cloud that the user running the web server can access... said user generally being www-data

directory traversal just lets you check files in the assets folders basically

[oblique furnace]

Day 45

i didn't post a screenshot yesterday but i answered 1 question of the "Security Principles" room but the room is not functioning (and i sent a report on #1333993673381253162)

that was enough to keep my streak

i wouldve screenshotted but theres no point

[modest charm]

you can create a team with only yourself

and play it

I dont know if it is valid for the prizes though, in case you are a student

[vestal bone]

what is hackfinity

[spice otter]

hey guys any tips on actually learning this pre security stuff? and not just clicking through all the rooms

[flint sluice]

Take notes.

[sand trench]

note taking note taking note taking
teaching your friends or a rubber ducky
check back in about a month then later in a year

[spice otter]

dang notes 😦 is there anything specific i should be looking out for in note taking or just whatever i think is useful? also thank yall

[sand trench]

well shadow generally writes a few words here or there in their notes and then once a month go back and reformat/refactor the notes to be more legible

i.e it should be the parts you find relevant and interesting

[spice otter]

hmmm ok thnak you so much 🙂

[sand trench]

teaching a rubber duck also helps as you gotta put what you learnt into physical words you speak out loud

[modest charm]

get a software like obsidian for storing your notes in an organised way, you will find yourself going back to them always.

[sand trench]

this helps the memories stick a huge amount better

some people will think you are "insane" for speaking to a rubber duck on your desk but it helps shadow tons

[spice otter]

i'll look at that thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @modest charm (current: #735 - 7)

[grand condor]

will the hackfinity battle room be available after the event ends?

[spice otter]

lol gotta make people think your a pshyco seems fun

[sand trench]

shadow has also learnt a lot by trying to help other tryhackme users get through problems in the #room-help channel

but that can be harsh if you are just starting out

[proven lark]

wdym i need to be a student

what if im not

[cedar warren]

You won't be eligible for the prizes I think

[spice otter]

i bet, teaching is already hard as it is

[grand condor]

will the hackfinity battle room be available after the event ends? does anyone knows?

[runic cliff]

yes should be

[languid torrent]

Hey all, I had a question. I'm French and here we rely a lot on school diplomas. Is it true that in the United States they prefer certifications?

[sand trench]

🤸🏼

okay that did not work as expected

[upper knoll]

#cyber-and-careers would be the best place to ask a question like that

i recommend moving that topic there!

[languid torrent]

and also a rootkite project / changing the framework of an ip camera are they gray projects?

Ohhh ok sorry

[upper knoll]

@mossy river sorry used the bot recently so ima @ u

[sand trench]

any type of malware discussion is only in advanced channels if you are asking about making it

or reverse engineering it

messing with ip cameras that you own or have permission to modify is fine and dandy though

[cosmic pendant]

we did a full re of an ip camera in my master's class, it was cool

[amber summit]

gpt did the osint for me

is that bad

[languid torrent]

because I was accepted into a cybersecurity school and I feel like they did crazy things compared to me

[sand trench]

shadow is waiting to do their taxes

[carmine tinsel]

some things should be left unsaid

[sand trench]

if shadow is reading the swedish tax agency site correctly shadow should be able to do it in 25 mins

[spice otter]

i mean did you pass lol

[leaden marsh]

I was think ur photo like cat🤣

[languid torrent]

I wanted to know if these were simple projects? or if it was really high level?

[amber summit]

yeah i fed it the street name told it to spit out the possible flags and tried them one by one

[spice otter]

oh wow

[sand trench]

malware is high level because it is easy to break stuff or get yourself in tons of legal trouble with it

[cosmic pendant]

yes lol

[languid torrent]

from what i understood he just changed the framework because he said it was crap

[cosmic pendant]

probably just talk

[languid torrent]

I have an esp32 s2 card if you have any project ideas I'll take them 😁

[cosmic pendant]

did you see the new undocumented commands that was just published?

i'm waiting for the dual band cards stilll..................... it's been like 2 years man

[languid torrent]

No, not really, I was on other projects.

[cosmic pendant]

............... okay well, it's neat

https://developer.espressif.com/blog/2025/03/esp32-bluetooth-clearing-the-air/

[languid torrent]

ohhhhhh, and so do you have a project that I could do lol, I'm a beginner just to deepen my knowledge

Thx

[mossy river]

Out of scope for this server

[cosmic pendant]

I think changing the ip is okay, it's called DHCP 😄 😄

[urban hill]

Hi , do I need to setup a webcam for the SA1 ?

[languid torrent]

lol, I don't think so, some people here must be super strong 🤣🤣

[cosmic pendant]

He means the rules

[languid torrent]

Ohhhhhh

Yes, I imagine it's a server to help, not to hack, which is logical.

[mossy river]

It's a beginner cybersecurity server 😅

[languid torrent]

heeyyyyy I was wondering, if I give you my website could you find all the passwords possible? to test if what I am learning in class is good?

[dry drum]

am I the only one doing CTF rn?

[upper knoll]

you should not do that

ever

btw

[languid torrent]

If I have a backup, why?

[upper knoll]

because you shouldnt give random people things to hack that u dont know

[silent nova]

[languid torrent]

Ohhhh

[silent nova]

If you mean Hackfinity, others participating in the CTF can be located in #1347217239492919346.

[languid torrent]

It's logical but at the same time, it's a site that we made in class, I really don't see the danger

[sharp radish]

How would one go about linking a new Try Hack Me account to Discord? I lost the creds for my previous account and couldn't be bothered asking for support... I created a new account on the website.

[upper knoll]

where is it hosted for example

do u have permission to pentest on that infrastructure cause i doubt it

[languid torrent]

and if its on your own infra thats even worse

its a legal nightmare

all good just be safe

No worries, THM's community is always here to help others. Feel free to ask around if you're not sure what you're doing.

I would also recommend looking at #start-here if you haven't done so already.

[languid torrent]

I saw, I'm doing the lessons little by little, by the way should I do more challenges or lessons?

because I have the impression that the tools I use I don't see them in the courses

[upper knoll]

start with lessons and walkthroughs

make good notes and get comfortable

[languid torrent]

👍

[vocal turret]

Hello

[upper knoll]

(tools will come up overtime it will guide you through basics first)

which is what u need to understand what u are doing when u use tools

doesnt matter if u know the rough syntax for curl if u dont understand web requests for example

[languid torrent]

There is one thing that is vague for me. , it is when we change files via a url, it was weird

[knotty pendant]

i got access to someones smtp server🧐

[languid torrent]

../login../password.tx

It looks like it on Kali Linux with the commands to change files but I didn't understand how it knows that these files exist.

[upper knoll]

seems like file traversal through the webpage itself but idk without seeing more specifics my advice is just try and follow things carefully

[silent nova]

Don't go snooping around on it, lol.

[languid torrent]

👍

but how does he know that these files exist?

He can't do it at random

[upper knoll]

can be many ways

[cosmic pendant]

Look up the new Tomcat CVE, that uses a Put

[languid torrent]

maybe a lesson I learn after

[upper knoll]

as im guessing english isnt your first lanuage just make sure you take a second to read the materials and ingest them cause maybe u missed something

[languid torrent]

the last time I heard about TOMCAT it was for a database that I created

Hmm, maybe, or maybe it's thanks to the enumeration of subdomains?

Anyway, thanks a lot for the advice guys.

I will try to make a project with my esp32 s2 😁 if I need I call you 😆😆

my next two level ups are 2500 points and 5000

[modest charm]

ill level up soon, but I think my next color is a shade of blue

[upper knoll]

#site-support or #room-help would be the place to ask

[hearty hollow]

🙏

[upper knoll]

not sure which sorry for lack of specificty my brain is fried by assembly code

[hearty hollow]

assembly is crazy

[upper knoll]

no joke

[silent nova]

Probably room-help if I read the question correctly.

Solution would to place the domain into the hosts file, but I don't exactly remember what the domain is, where it's supposed to lead to, and why the domain is being accessed in the first place.

[stoic quarry]

Assembly is bonkers

I know for some of the challenges, or if you have issues accessing a web page you need to add the IP and host to your hosts file

Seen it a few times

[hearty hollow]

i have a ip and if i go to the browser and enter that ip in the searchbar, i redirects to lookup.thm but the website doesnt load. it should load a login page if im understanding the walkthrough propperly

[upper knoll]

i find malware analysis very intersting so learning assembly and how cpus work is a manditory

just time consuming

[wooden totem]

maybe visual presentation helps, which do yall prefer

[grizzled wing]

the attackboxes are really unstable today

[stoic quarry]

Fair enough

[modest charm]

i answered you in the room help;

[stoic quarry]

Yeah add it to your hosts then

Oh or that 😶‍🌫️

[upper knoll]

probably all the hackfinity activity its why i went into the malware analysis pathway in anticipation of it

[silent nova]

We might be eating up the resources for the CTF, that's why. Sorry ;-;

[modest charm]

lots of students running all kinds of brute force

running for that prize !!

🎉

[stoic quarry]

Good luck to the 'dents

[silent nova]

I decided just to run my attacks on my local PC with OpenVPN connection, lol.

[modest charm]

i only use vpn tbh.. but I am also not premium

[silent nova]

Less lag, but I can't figure out some of the challenges.

[upper knoll]

tbh at some point i should switch to running it on my local pc

cause i got great hardware for it i just use the attack box cause its easy icl

[silent nova]

Would recommend switching, especially if doing hash brute forces.

However, some VMs may need you to do the task in-VM.

[upper knoll]

tbh u shouldnt be brute forcing much and even if u have to it has to answer in 5 mins to met the requirements i believe

[stoic quarry]

Do you mean through a VM hosted on your local pc?

[upper knoll]

yer i have a kali vm

[marsh crow]

How to connect ovpn and thm?

[sand trench]

yeah for brute forcing hash cracking vm:s are not always great

someone a day ago or so was asking about the time it took to complete a path, it shows on the certification of completion

[upper knoll]

how is the veggies btw!

[grizzled wing]

🧦

[spice otter]

do i need certs like A+ or can i just jump to security+?

[upper knoll]

depends on your base knowledge and experience

and if u want to go offensive or defensive

[spice otter]

defensive

probably

[marsh crow]

Also, A+ is good for a beginner job like help desk

[upper knoll]

if u dont have any experience or educational qualifications probably u need to get some certs

[jovial burrow]

hey can we make a team here for the hackfinity challenge?

[silent nova]

The time shown is not accurate from my own experience.

[upper knoll]

#1347596231551225887

[grizzled wing]

some argue that A+ cert is old in modern times

[spice otter]

im in school for CS idk how well that translates to cyber though

[upper knoll]

some yes some nop

certs would probably help u when u get out of school

and some schools offer some certs while u are studying so look into that

[grizzled wing]

that is ⚖️ fair, however it shows you took X hrs and Y minutes to complete, so it shows something

[spice otter]

thank you

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @upper knoll (current: #241 - 32)

[stoic quarry]

I jumped from nothing to Sec+

[nimble ether]

yoo

[upper knoll]

all good i dont know how i became helper tonight but idm it

[stoic quarry]

But I had a lot of experience so I could probably get A+ If I wanted lol

[grizzled wing]

tempest instead of 73mp3st

[spice otter]

yeaa, i feel like i have the base knowlecdge of A+ already just really dont want to spend the money on it if i dont have to lol

[stoic quarry]

That's fair

broo how much time it takes a beginner to find his first bug in bug bounty

[stoic quarry]

If you study for an exam but decide to go for something else, you still have the skills

[spice otter]

lol

[wooden totem]

Forgot t at the end

[nimble ether]

like considering a complete beginner

[stoic quarry]

Just not the cert

[upper knoll]

a while

[stoic quarry]

Quite a while

I'd think

[nimble ether]

4mnth?

[upper knoll]

a lot of these creators will sell u the life on bug bounties but its a long road and takes experience

and its a side income not an outright stable income

[spice otter]

that is truye

[upper knoll]

4 months if u are beyond dedicated and learn fast

[stoic quarry]

Yeah no one is making a table income from bug bounties lol

[upper knoll]

id probably say a year

it gets to web app pentesting and such later down the paths

[sand trench]

yeah technically

[spice otter]

that homeless dude?

lol

[stoic quarry]

Is that not just the discord 'start here' 😶‍🌫️

[stoic quarry]

?

[upper knoll]

not it shows the thm start path i believe

[nimble ether]

it doesn't I guess

[wooden totem]

Maybe I have a problem, it doesn't satisfy me to do something on uneven time

[spice otter]

i seen a video of a homeless dude(living in his car) showing people how to order most of the menu for $1

[stoic quarry]

Right

[nimble ether]

should I follow free tier of thm

[upper knoll]

sign up for an account and follow i believe its the security 101 learning path

[stoic quarry]

No, I'm talking about the guy who found a vuln

https://eaton-works.com/2024/12/19/mcdelivery-india-hack/

[nimble ether]

it's paid?

[spice otter]

ohh

[stoic quarry]

Yeah, just do the intro to cybersecurity one

[upper knoll]

i cant remember off top of my head but i think 101 isnt

it will tell what parts are free

and arenty

[nimble ether]

yeah only 101 is free

[stoic quarry]

Intro to cybersecurity should be free

[nimble ether]

but later on its paid

[wooden totem]

About half

[upper knoll]

start at 101 and if u decide its for u, u can continue on the path there is also a lot of free content on the paths

[nimble ether]

I don't have a pc I'm doing all this in a 11 inch tablet

[upper knoll]

as well as other standalone content

[nimble ether]

wish me luck ☠️

[wooden totem]

I wish you skills and statistics

[nimble ether]

what is statistics?

how u guys make notes on thm

[stoic quarry]

I use Joplin

[nimble ether]

thanks for the help though

like u guys copy paste?

[stoic quarry]

But Notion/Obsidian/Whatever notetaking app should be good

I tend to write them in my own way, else I don't tend to learn anything

[modest charm]

im using joplin as well, it is free to connect with my onedrive and have my machines synced

[stoic quarry]

Lol

[upper knoll]

i personally try and ingest the content and change the wording and make my notes from it

[stoic quarry]

Yah, Joplin is great

[upper knoll]

forms deeper memory paths and makes sure understand what u are reading

[nimble ether]

joplim works in Android?

[upper knoll]

rather than just blurting out what u read again

[nimble ether]

😂

[stoic quarry]

Yeah, copying/pasting doesn't help you learn anything. You gotta understand something before you move on imo

So rewriting in your own words/in a way you know you'll understand is a lot better

Just my .2c

[upper knoll]

^

same here

[nimble ether]

suree boss thanks for help

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @stoic quarry (current: #311 - 21)

I'm unemployed with no skills

[stoic quarry]

[nimble ether]

[modest charm]

[stoic quarry]

You'll get there

[upper knoll]

my goal is to end up in cyber sec ill get there within the year i believe

until then its everyday on thm and some days in gym

[modest charm]

im in the IT field but in another area, and for too long, it is not worth changing anymore

[upper knoll]

just grinding

[nimble ether]

my goal is to get my first bounty and show my parents their is better alternative to gov exams 😭

[upper knoll]

do the exams

they will only ever help u

[nimble ether]

😵‍💫

[upper knoll]

school qualifications are always good to have

but still study this if u have passion

[nimble ether]

u want me complete for 1000 seats when 10 lakh people sit for a exam

?

compete*

[upper knoll]

my brain is too fried for that lol

my advice is as is

school never hurts u

[spice otter]

good luck

[nimble ether]

yeaahhh

I will continue this as passion

study will always be priority

[spice otter]

yea if your not passianote it tends to be harder to learn

[stoic quarry]

Mmhm

Good to keep at something if it's a hobby and you want to genuinely learn. Don't rush in expecting to be a l33t haxor in 3 months

[grizzled wing]

if info_source =="TikTok":
   pass

   ask_THM_chat()

[crude stump]

I love tiktok

[grizzled wing]

[stoic quarry]

Lmao true

[crystal mauve]

So, I'm having issues running feroxbuster on thms VM, should it be easier to download n run through snap or apt

[stoic quarry]

What issues are ya having

[crystal mauve]

It seems to not wanna retrieve wordlists when I've installed through snap

Usually end up having to do a rust apt install

But am I supposed to b just installing either apt or snap

[stoic quarry]

I'll be honest, i've not had too much exp with snap

But it might have permission issues yeah

Just install through apt

[crystal mauve]

Yeah I just do it because that's the run around chatgpt suggests

Do you do any repos or anything

As soon as you got the VM running ?

Idk I'm at the point where I feel like Id to stick to a couple of initial scans

Rustscan / nmap works fine

But ferox seems to grab domains that the others wouldn't detect am I wrong ?

[cinder terrace]

[spice otter]

thats an amazing question

[hearty hollow]

sick

[rapid merlin]

bruh

[crystal mauve]

I'm studying for security+

I read that all the questions have been leaked online

[rapid merlin]

why are you going to copy and paste

[spice otter]

good luck once you have to retest after it expires

[marsh crow]

How do you guys go about learn a programming language?? I tend to fall into tutorial hell 😕

[spice otter]

after learning the basics from tutorial hell, go to chatgpt and ask it to give you some beginner friendly projects to help build your foundations

[shy finch]

choose one then look on internet for courses about the basics , there is a lot of ytb playlist for learning one language and try to build some little project with the language

[shy finch]

yea project is the best way to aplly what uv learned

[spice otter]

yep 🙂 (I suck at coming up with projects myself so i make chatgpt do that for me)

lol

[shy finch]

smart

[marsh crow]

Yeah, I've learned syntax before but trying to make a project was always the issue for me. Because in my head I have the idea but I cannot put it in code. So I will study harder 🫡

Thank you

[spice otter]

good luck 🫡

[shy finch]

good luck and never surrend

btw is there a room about learning cms pentest ? i dont find any

[vestal bone]

what's that thing happening rn called hackfinity

[shy finch]

[vestal bone]

is it that tryhack3m:bricks heist?

[stoic quarry]

No it's just a CTF event for students

[vestal bone]

[stoic quarry]

https://tryhackme.com/hackfinity?utm_source=discord&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=hackfinitybattle

[marsh crow]

[vestal bone]

I am at the start on "Network Security
Learn the basics of passive and active network reconnaissance. Understand how common protocols work and their attack vectors."
Do you think I could get at least 1 flag

[stoic quarry]

It's a beginner CTF, might not be too hard

Give it a shot at least

[vestal bone]

okie, I'll try it rn

[stoic quarry]

Good luck!

[spice otter]

how often does THM do this events?

these

[stoic quarry]

I'm not sure if there's a schedule, but there are a lot of events throughout the year

The yearly holiday one is always pretty neat. They're all still available iirc

[mossy river]

[mossy river]

[cerulean nest]

[mossy river]

[spice otter]

oo alright that sounds good

[stoic quarry]

Advent of Cyber or AoC in the search should get you some of them

Nice and easy challenges

[silent nova]

I can vouch for AoC, especially AoC 2024.

[stoic quarry]

2024 was lots of fun

I don't think I actually finished it lol

[spice otter]

and whats better using openvpn or just using the attackbox thm gives

[stoic quarry]

I prefer the ovpn on a dedicated Kali VM

But they should both work for rooms

[spice otter]

alrighttt thank you

[rapid merlin]

Is that the time 🫣

[stoic quarry]

Is what all the time?

[rapid merlin]

It’s 1 am already

[stoic quarry]

Oh lol, I read that wrong

It is too

[silent nova]

You should, it was crazy fun.
-# If needed I'll help supply you the survey flag in case the survey closed already.

[rapid merlin]

It’s so early

I’m so tired

[silent nova]

If you gotta wake up early, I highly suggest going to bed by now.

[cerulean nest]

[stoic quarry]

I'd appreciate that 😶‍🌫️

[rapid merlin]

I fell asleep

[cerulean nest]

[stoic quarry]

Nah
