[hazy flume]

what is the best way to get interactive shell after establishing a non interactive one?

[grizzled wing]

socat

[amber inlet]

I always considered “brute forcing” to be going in blind and rainbow tables are more comparing hashes than brute forcing through computations

[hazy flume]

its answer for me?

[grizzled wing]

check out room Whats a Shell

[hazy flume]

thank you

are fresh made kali linux vms vulnerable to fail2ban ?
or they come with the fix?

[blissful snow]

whats a shell?

[grizzled wing]

[blissful snow]

grep shell

[oblique loom]

I read somewhere that dictionary attacks are good for targeting a specific or "single" account. And RTA is good for a whole dataset of passwords

(As long as there's no salt)

[amber inlet]

Salts do be throwing things off

[oblique loom]

Gotta love em and hate them at the same time lol

Hey all, I filled out the form for SAL1 (I have BTL1) and I keep getting an email saying that they are trying to send it to me but the email is incorrect.

[sick lance]

Yes

[sand trench]

wow this tool for music called beets is a lot more powerful then shadow thought

[naive violet]

Not really, for unsalted hashes you're getting the same results for one account or 10
It's just time vs disk usage tradeoff, precomputation

[blissful current]

[naive violet]

For NTLM, rainbow tables are dead because GPU hashing is so fast that it makes them obsolete

[oblique loom]

Interesting

[sand trench]

that is a sentence that makes the advancement in computing power fascinating to watch james

[thorny marsh]

is it hard to enter cyber security carriers ?

[oblique loom]

This! I swear

[polar shale]

To jump directly into cyber yea it is a little but just getting into tech in general has a relatively low barrier to entey depenening on your location e.g.

[grizzled wing]

the word i see often in chat: sigma

Problematic Connotations:
The "sigma male" concept can sometimes promote:
Social isolation and a rejection of healthy social connections.
A sense of superiority and detachment from others.
Misogynistic or anti-social attitudes.
A misunderstanding of mental health, where people may forgo seeking help, in the name of self reliance.
It is often used by people who are trying to justify antisocial behavior.
It is important to understand that it is not a healthy social construct.

eeeh the vitamines and minerals come from shadows energy drink that they finished about 2 hours ago

[rapid merlin]

On a scale of 1-10, how realistic is it to know nothing about cybersecurity and pass OSCP by the end of December 🙃

[sand trench]

depends on your note taking

[oblique loom]

1:30 left of work

[carmine tinsel]

Actually though I’d like to get certs one day too, I’m pretty new to cyber

I study a shit ton so hopefully it’ll all work out 🤞

[oblique loom]

I passed my sec+ with a month of study. It's not that hard if you have good study habits

[languid torrent]

hey all i have a question

[sick lance]

Is this a CTF?

[languid torrent]

its lesson , and i try on my website

[proper sable]

?????

[sick lance]

Do you host the website locally?

[languid torrent]

no online

[sick lance]

What's up?

[sick lance]

Who hosts it?

[grizzled wing]

made a reminder

[proper sable]

why you just assume ctf when someone has a question

[languid torrent]

infinity free

[carmine tinsel]

Always capture the flag but never flag the capture

[sick lance]

You'll need to ask them to attack the service then, you don't own the website, they do.

[carmine tinsel]

Unauthorized pentesting my favorite

[sick lance]

Because this could possibly be homework.

[languid torrent]

oh and if i try on local ?

[proper sable]

and we can still help with questions if it's homework just don't do it for him

[oblique loom]

Good catch

[proper sable]

guide them not do it for them

link to resources

[sick lance]

No we can't.

[proper sable]

????

[sick lance]

It's literally in our community rules. 🙂

[languid torrent]

and if i try on local its possible ?

[proper sable]

i get not doing it for them but helping someone is not even cheating

if they have everything and know what they need to do resources are just fine

[sick lance]

No, it's their work to research, not ours.

[proper sable]

if you just got oh it's xss here's xss that's different

[sick lance]

And we don't their educational establishment rules on asking for help on materials.

Don't know*

[oblique loom]

Yes, but you need to build the site on a machine. Best shot is to use a VM from what I've read

[haughty pine]

the ctf was end reallu was one of the best ctf

[sick lance]

And easier as it's already set up.

[oblique loom]

That too

[zenith gyro]

It was not right to give extra points to.

30 point

[languid torrent]

why on vm ? if i use mamp for my bdd and chrome for look website ?

[zenith gyro]

@sharp citrus It was not right to give extra points to

[haughty musk]

Have you ever cheated scrubz

[sick lance]

No, I don't.

[oblique loom]

Well, yoy could build the server yourself but kinda waste of time, VM is faster.

[languid torrent]

its complicate to create a server ?

[oblique loom]

No

Not really

[languid torrent]

or its like create data base ?

[sick lance]

If you cheat what do you get?

Nothing, you learn nothing.

[haughty musk]

Frfr, true

[sick lance]

Burp suite academy has good labs on XSS.

[languid torrent]

i dont want xss i want injection sql bcs tomorrow i have examen and i understand nothing

[oblique loom]

ohhhh

u have links ?

Gave +1 Rep to @oblique loom (current: #624 - 9)

[oblique loom]

[proper sable]

scrubz this is literally resources which you said no to

[languid torrent]

and why i cant use my commande on my website host online ?

[sick lance]

They asked about setting up a website.

[sick lance]

Because protections might already be in place.

[languid torrent]

if i usegood commande its not possible bcs the site block this injection

ohhhhh i see

thx u so much for help guys

[oblique loom]

🍻

[languid torrent]

and last question

i can use on my app java ? in local

[grizzled wing]

made a picture for you to remember

[sharp sail]

[drowsy dust]

 print("Hello THM") 

[fringe nacelle]

pretty good resource

[languid torrent]

``` this is the commande on cours in base of sql injection

[boreal scarab]

When I don't wanna listen to anyone, I pur my head phoned I to noise canceling lol

[drowsy dust]

I love this one

[proper sable]

pwnfunction >>>>>

[languid torrent]

if i want try on my app java what i put to replace the name of web site ?

[sharp sail]

Yeah chief ngl a bit more context would be helpful

Cause i have no clue what you wanna do

[carmine tinsel]

For the sql injection is your goal to just see if the field is vulnerable or try to dump database contents?

[languid torrent]

I just want to get the data from the user table

[carmine tinsel]

Portswigger SQL injection labs are very good I recommend doing those too if you want some more hands on practice

Ohhh

[mossy river]

Whatever local port it is running on if I’m understanding you correctly

[finite basalt]

that's what I do at uni and then I pretend to lock in if someone looks at me so it doesn't look like I'm ignoring them when they try and get my attention

I find that people look at me while working and out of pity I always end up engaging with them but I've tried to get out of that habit because it reminds me that I'm on campus in a classroom

[languid torrent]

;-- what is that ?

id = 2 ;--

[finite basalt]

that's how you end a line and comment out the rest of the line in sql

[carmine tinsel]

Are you familiar with sql syntax? If not, THM has a sql fundamentals room

[finite basalt]

; to end the line and -- to comment the rest, I'd advise learning sql for sure

[grizzled wing]

i covered SQL injection line yesterday

[carmine tinsel]

Also, one thing that helps me learn sql injection is just playing around with sql in an online sql sandbox. It’ll help you spot syntax errors better

[languid torrent]

yes i know litel

[carmine tinsel]

I mean, if you’re struggling with understanding comments I’d probably recommend diving into more sql syntax first 😅

[languid torrent]

the two hyphens cause everything after to be treated as a comment

but idk why we need treated as a comment ?

[grizzled wing]

select * from THM -- comment

[sharp sail]

A sql query is like this

select * from example where id = '2'

If the website doesn't use prepared statements then you can break out of the original query to add more onto the existing query.

That is what the ;-- is for

[carmine tinsel]

Sometimes after the sql query the site is using, it’s necessary to comment out any code after to avoid syntax errors and make sure your sqli works right

[oblique loom]

'+UNION+SELECT+column_name,+NULL+FROM+information_schema.columns+WHERE+table_name='users_abcdef'-- Something like this

[languid torrent]

hhhuuuummm

so if i understand we use -- if they dont have prepared statements

[carmine tinsel]

Anyway though I admit that thm sql injection rooms were difficult for me too when I first did them, i really recommend doing portswigger sql stuff because they walk you through the process of it

https://portswigger.net/web-security/all-labs#sql-injection

[steady pewter]

Good afternoon all

[carmine tinsel]

Good afternoon ❤️

[oblique loom]

Hello hello

[languid torrent]

ok I will try I finish this room and I will

sorry for more questions lol

[carmine tinsel]

No don’t apologize for asking

[oblique loom]

Don't be sorry

[carmine tinsel]

Better to ask than to be confused forever

[oblique loom]

What we here for

[steady pewter]

Yes, this is very true.

[carmine tinsel]

The real annoying ppl are the ones who don’t wanna understand at all

[steady pewter]

You've gotta have the drive to learn, and if it involves asking questions, then so be it.

[carmine tinsel]

This shit is hard man 🙃

[modest charm]

most of us will gladly answer questions.. that indirectly help us as well

memorizing stuff etc

[oblique loom]

SQL injection is a pita to grasp

[steady pewter]

You know what's funny? Obsidian is inherently helpful during OSINT stuff, haha.

[oblique loom]

I still struggle with it

[modest charm]

I brute force it

[carmine tinsel]

Like for example if you have a sql query like this

SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = [user input] AND password = [some shit]

Then if you inject your own SQL in field that accepts user input, it’ll cause a logic error since it’ll show columns where the username and password must meet a certain condition. If you do something like this

SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ‘admin’— AND password = ‘’

Only the usernames field is considered when running the sql query, thus avoiding any logic errors and allowing you to do things like bypass login forms

Other times you also need the comment to avoid syntax errors like if you’re injecting a union statement or order by or whatever

Srry I know this must be a bad explanation but this is how I understand it 🙃

[ancient mirage]

'OR 1=1

[carmine tinsel]

I’ve heard that in real life pentesting you should be wary of using ‘ OR 1=1– cuz you could accidentally get rid of data in an update or delete statement

[devout palm]

Hello friends.

[carmine tinsel]

There’s a THM challenge room about that actually

Lesson learned

I certainly learned my lesson 💀

[devout palm]

https://tenor.com/view/wiwiwi-cat-kitty-wiwiwi-kitty-cat-nham-nham-gif-1979698139149794258

[carmine tinsel]

Oh ok I see we’re deleting shit how

[wooden totem]

idk why I said that

[ancient mirage]

echo $g00d_n1ght

[carmine tinsel]

echo “deez nuts” | wall

[languid torrent]

oh i understand haha

SELECT * FROM users WHERE id='' OR '1'='1';--' AND private=0; for exemple this command take all user

even hide them

[crystal mauve]

Object related sql > object oriented sql

[wooden totem]

where did you get double quotation marks

[crystal mauve]

I just did an sql room, had a harder time detecting the vuln then injecting it

[carmine tinsel]

Habit

[crystal mauve]

@cloud quiver what is the modification that you have to do to standard burpe suit to detect the error in repeater response?

[carmine tinsel]

I know some cpp so it’s kind of a habit for me to enclose any and all strings with double quotes

[wooden totem]

I can't even type double quotation mark unicode

[steady pewter]

Same

Also I might be gone for a while (making lunch)

[wooden totem]

All I got is quotation mark, double acute accent, grave accent

[carmine tinsel]

That’s fkn weird wdym

[wintry cave]

Hey everyone! A weird situation but on THM when accessing machines i am not able to connect to them.
Like when i click on access machine it deploys nd all, ip is generated everything but that machine isnt working when i ping it with other vm nd all

What to do? Anyhelp would be appreciated

[wooden totem]

" , ˝ , ``

[viscid carbon]

yoo, you know cpp too?

[carmine tinsel]

Yes

[modest charm]

are you using vpn on your on machine ? can you ping 10.10.10.10 or open it in your browser ?

[carmine tinsel]

I’ve been learning it for the past 6 months or so for school

[modest charm]

ask it here though
https://discord.com/channels/521382216299839518/521771811768107008

[viscid carbon]

type shi, but mostly for international competitions

[carmine tinsel]

Before that I taught myself a bit of JS

Hahaha I think international competitions is a bit above my skillset

[wintry cave]

No, sure

[viscid carbon]

i think it's just waste of time , i only got some bread for winning prizes

[carmine tinsel]

Is it a waste of time if you get paid

[viscid carbon]

the thing is, i get paid only 1 time a year, and it's not actually usual, dont think that 1 grand is worth it

and + bcz im not 18

[carmine tinsel]

Ohhh damn that’s cool that you’re doing this shit as a minor

Also wdym 1 grand isn’t worth it

[viscid carbon]

1 grand a year for everyday working almost without rest huh?

[steady pewter]

Buddy, I spent all night coding an entire app, that was over 500 files, assets, and well..everything, and only got paid 500 dollars, be grateful.

that was a month ago, and I regret it.

[viscid carbon]

xD

sorry for ya

[carmine tinsel]

Honestly I admit that I don’t have a ton of programming achievements, I kinda just fuck around and code random shit xd

[languid torrent]

if i want all name on user i write SELECT name FROM user WHERE id="" OR '1' = '1';--

[viscid carbon]

XD, mbe u need just time

[carmine tinsel]

Yeah, adding a tautology should work. I would recommend against adding the semicolon though, it may not be interpreted correctly in a URL

[viscid carbon]

and + with grand im surviving, imma tryna be independent from parents, and even be successfull already like in 22-23

[languid torrent]

ohhhhhhhhhh ok nice i understand litel haha

[carmine tinsel]

Also keep in mind that in SQL single quotes are used

[viscid carbon]

but as soon as i enter cybersecurity, i understood, this, is, forkin, hell

• my grades are ass

[carmine tinsel]

Real

[steady pewter]

All As.

[modest charm]

im a bit late to the party.. Just started the hackfinity .. wohoo

aaand im stuck in a task

😄

[viscid carbon]

if i won't make at least money for survival until 18 - imma be homeless

[carmine tinsel]

God damn

Your parents the “kick you out at 18” type

[modern fox]

arrives

[languid torrent]

if the text is varcher I can use this or there is something more optimized because I think this is good for INT

[wooden totem]

like 1 night or multiple days of all night

[carmine tinsel]

Sorry I’m not understanding what you’re trying to say

[steady pewter]

A single freaking night, like imagine debugging 20 lines per minute.

[carmine tinsel]

If the vulnerable parameter is an int, you don’t need the closing quote ‘

[viscid carbon]

i mean, can you blame them? ass grades, nothing doing, + middle east parents

[languid torrent]

i juste need id = 1 ;--

[wooden totem]

isn't that like 50 bucks an hour

[viscid carbon]

i wish

[carmine tinsel]

In this economy idk if living alone at 18 is feasible that’s all

[steady pewter]

I know, should've been.

But it was a hackathon..

[wooden totem]

(it's not)

[steady pewter]

Fixed payout.

[wooden totem]

I mean technically living homeless is living alone

[carmine tinsel]

Yeah I live with my parents to save money xd

[carmine tinsel]

Not if your pentester buddies join you

[modest charm]

it is not feasible living alone for most of the people nowadays, doesnt matter the age lol

[loud marlin]

@boreal scarab just to inform you RIGHT NOW
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxTMHw-M0Yg

[carmine tinsel]

Maybe at 40 😛

[steady pewter]

Well, depends on practices, 0days, how the digital arms race goes this year, etc.

[viscid carbon]

i just dont know what to start with in cybers. it's really confusing, python, networking, operating systems, coding, cybersecurity fundamentals, defensive security, offensive security

DAMN

[loud marlin]

there is much more of a story in the post 🙂

[wooden totem]

Don't worry I'll invent mole houses, smaller apartment building for individual groups of people to live together and not be lonely

[viscid carbon]

fr, but mostly for lazy ahh people, and there are lots of em

[carmine tinsel]

Real, it is confusing

Just take it slow and choose one thing to focus on, you don’t need to learn everything at once

What part of cyber interests you the most?

[viscid carbon]

i mean, of course ethical

[carmine tinsel]

For me it’s web pentesting/bug bounty. I am a fan of boot2root challenges too

[steady pewter]

hang on, I've seen this..probably didn't watch it all the way through or just forgot though..

[viscid carbon]

you'll need to do for comp-scientist shelter too, you'll have way more people

[loud marlin]

i didn't. not his fan

[wooden totem]

you start by learning about all basics of how things work first, then you start learning more on individual topics

[sand trench]

aaaaaaand new album of music added to the long long list of shadows flac files

[steady pewter]

but the opening makes it seem more like an OSINT tool.

[viscid carbon]

so is it all in THM free courses?

[carmine tinsel]

THM has a lot of free rooms, but I would recommend doing more learning beyond just THM

[sand trench]

2376 tracks in the list of music shadow owns in drm free flac files

feels good

[carmine tinsel]

HTB academy is really good, if you are a student their premium discount is around $8 a month

[viscid carbon]

im broke af rn

[carmine tinsel]

Portswigger is free and has web pentesting materials too

[sand trench]

no open source tech for soultaker it is then

[carmine tinsel]

If you are completely new to cyber I recommend doing thm fundamental rooms

[viscid carbon]

such as pre-sec pathway?

[carmine tinsel]

Yes

[wooden totem]

well of course! The cs buildings will have servers in each room and it's own faster wifi lan system. Can put a satellite up there, blackout curtains and of course a public workshop in the basement

[modern fox]

this dudes video titles are kinda... idk

[steady pewter]

more like...clickbait.

[modern fox]

exactly

[viscid carbon]

ur him

[wooden totem]

I need 25 mils just for the land

[carmine tinsel]

I must say that I don’t watch many hacking YouTubers

I get second hand embarrassment from CS videos

Idk why

I’ve watched a bit of pwnfunction and I enjoy his way of explaining things

[steady pewter]

Mostly I just watch john hammond because I like the way he kinda picks apart things like malware.

[carmine tinsel]

I’ve heard the malware he presents is quite basic but Im not really familiar with him

[grizzled wing]

i was curious so now you know

[steady pewter]

Yeah, mostly.

[viscid carbon]

i mean, i have sm money, but im just afraid that that'll go to trash

[steady pewter]

isn't open source stuff..free?

Or at least not much?

[celest dirge]

"Well, it worked on my pc"

[wooden totem]

@carmine tinsel would you live with other nerds in a custom building made just for them, with the complimentary free tech and communal area, sleeping capsules instead of own room, shared living rooms, "the quiet room", a lobby with that long couch with jazz playing 24/7, cleaning duty every sunday and very low rent?

[sand trench]

shadow is talking about open source hardware
which yeah kinda free but the materials cost things often

[wooden totem]

also rgb lights in each room and automatic curtains

[steady pewter]

Ah, hardware. That makes more sense.

[viscid carbon]

bro, i dont even know, imma done my researches mostly in youtube, cause as i know it's the only place that i can study sth for free

[viscid carbon]

i mean, better than living in nowhere

[wooden totem]

we gotta add the hamburger truck at the entrance and ice cream machine in the lobby

[steady pewter]

Very true

[wooden totem]

I would be a very good landlord

[viscid carbon]

nah, those for those who sit in discord 24/7 (not trynna be offensive)

[steady pewter]

I just pop in and out of here, haha

[viscid carbon]

bro why yall active in night, or yall just in NA

[steady pewter]

Never coded at 3AM?

It's...fun..

[viscid carbon]

i mean, didn't sleep for 2 days, and ONLY CODING

[carmine tinsel]

No I feel like they’d smell bad

[steady pewter]

Cool, you understand. However uh..you may want to get some rest from time to time, at some point, your neurons will literally start dying.

[viscid carbon]

im already braindead, wym

[steady pewter]

And that my friends is why guiness world records no longer accepts sleep related challenges.

(yes, actually)

[viscid carbon]

i mean, at the moment it's 2:38

AM

[steady pewter]

Cool

[viscid carbon]

and at this time i just play cs2 XD

[steady pewter]

Usually at that time I'd just be doing some OSINT thing.

[viscid carbon]

tf is OSINT?

[steady pewter]

Open-Source Intelligence

[viscid carbon]

damn

[wooden totem]

let me assure you, BETTA living™ apartments uphold a standard above regular housing. Cleaning is mandatory, fresh clothes are given to everyone, fresh towels every day, multiple showers and automated air circulation. "People" that "smell bad" receive a warning before they are removed

[viscid carbon]

[viscid carbon]

ur a wizard, isn't that like high title? or what?

[steady pewter]

BETTA living™️ is also an aquarium.

[viscid carbon]

dam, ur a hacker, if not a secret, how old are ya?

[steady pewter]

I prefer not to say..

[oblique loom]

Finally home 😌

[viscid carbon]

at least say that ur older 18...

[viscid carbon]

ws

[steady pewter]

ehh...

[wooden totem]

if we get enough investors, we'll pay for international travels (1 way) if you are a student

[viscid carbon]

Imma be fried

[steady pewter]

Alright.

[viscid carbon]

so?

[oblique loom]

I'm fried rn

Still gotta study too

[wooden totem]

while on topic, could you consider BETTA living™ your home?

[carmine tinsel]

I assure you I’m not that great of a hacker xD it’s just that I have a thm addiction

I have no idea what that is and still have headache

[viscid carbon]

damn

[sand trench]

shadow is so happy they got the o.mg detector now

just gonna keep using it

[viscid carbon]

ur addiction is givin you money

[carmine tinsel]

Girl it’s giving me a headache

[steady pewter]

I've seen that, hundreds of times actually.

[loud marlin]

there is some nice payloads for omg. some work some not so much

[sand trench]

yeah shadow just got the detector though

[devout palm]

omg

[sand trench]

because paranoia

[viscid carbon]

i mean, gimme that addiction

[short patrol]

Ooh

[wooden totem]

rhetorical question, of course you can. I can assure you, apart from our top of the line segmented apartments, we also offer individual private lands called "the aquariums™ " where you get your own minimalistic style cozy private house

[loud marlin]

also sharkjack have some nice fro sure. no detector for it 🙂

[viscid carbon]

come again?

[sand trench]

well the o.mg malicious cable detector works with basically everything

[oblique loom]

Private land where?

[loud marlin]

true that yea

[sand trench]

o.mg cables are a cable with ability to inject payloads into computers
the detector blinks red if it finds one of those when you plug them together in a chain

[viscid carbon]

gimme that shi

[wooden totem]

free gardening services, advanced soundproofing, nice neighborhood and of course privacy with our own garden sections

[steady pewter]

O.MG these cables are so powerful!

[loud marlin]

❤️

[viscid carbon]

sry, i may not have good level of English, so im just askin again

[steady pewter]

got all the hak5 gear

[wooden totem]

I saw a post on reddit that had those items and was like "what is inside of every hacker's backpack"

[loud marlin]

not all for sure

[steady pewter]

well..some.

[loud marlin]

yea. there is quite few for sure

[wooden totem]

unfortunately the world sucks and investors don't want affordable living for young adults

[viscid carbon]

[sand trench]

o.mg is a brand
they use technology from intelligence agencies that made a special cable with some chips in them
these chips could make the cable act like a keyboard and wifi
the keyboard ability let you run a long list of commands that can install malware or do other stuff
the cables from said inteligence agencies used to cost 20 000 usd

o.mg sells these cables on their site and on hak5:s store
the detector is used to detect these malicious cables to avoid you getting hacked by a malicious cable

[steady pewter]

My question is how does it detect them?

Just look at the two data lines inside every cable?

[viscid carbon]

ohh, ok

[jagged yarrow]

[jagged yarrow]

Should be really fun!

[quasi hedge]

So we're going to have levels alongside leagues and a separate Koth leaderboard and also separate leaderboards for each CTF

[jagged yarrow]

I'm also going to be participating - hoping to get to the diamond league

[quasi hedge]

It's going to become confusing with so many different leaderboards

[finite basalt]

I made pancakes

[jagged yarrow]

There isn't really leaderboards here - the honor will be the league you're in, and if you can stay in that league

[quasi hedge]

Oh k

I like re-appearing every so often to be honest, I've got object permeance, if it's not in my peripheral I forget, it's the only reason duolingo succeeds in keeping my streak going

[sand trench]

look at all the cables and what they are doing yeah

[jagged yarrow]

Likewise!

[sand trench]

and also not sending any of said data into your computer

[steady pewter]

shouldn't be too hard to make one.

[sand trench]

and only blink the led if malicious things happen

[finite basalt]

the threat of the bird taking my family and my mate nudging me to keep up our friend streak keeps me going haha
The duolingo nudge notifications are also so passive agressive it's hilarious

[sand trench]

the cable or the detector???

[devout palm]

https://tenor.com/view/duolingo-gif-6791652076808879412

[steady pewter]

detector

[sand trench]

well go on... go make one

[finite basalt]

the duolingo instagram page is beautiful

I love it

[sand trench]

if you can build one that is easy to use and easily blinks a led to tell you if it is working and or you have a malicious cable

[steady pewter]

Aaand I'm scarred for life.

[sand trench]

to a comparable price

[viscid carbon]

just a question, is this all i need?: https://tryhackme.com/hacktivities

[finite basalt]

You just know the admin loves it, just seeing how unhinged they can get haha

[steady pewter]

meanwhile:
10$

[devout palm]

Depends on what you aim for.

[wooden totem]

I found a way to search without a browser

[steady pewter]

curl

[oblique loom]

Lol

[wooden totem]

without leaving discord

[steady pewter]

curl

[wooden totem]

okay that's cheating

[steady pewter]

just open up a terminal window and you never left discord.

[devout palm]

Discord is running through a browser.

[viscid carbon]

offensive and defensive security, both of em

[wooden totem]

It's not that interesting anymore, I forgot about curl

[finite basalt]

evil 😭

[devout palm]

The PC version is just electron, which embeds chromium.

[steady pewter]

meh, had a funny gif ("That's offensive") wouldn't load.

[finite basalt]

I misread that the first time

I thought you meant about daily driving windows in your standard web browser

[devout palm]

Well, TryHackMe isn't the only resource out here. But it is a good one to begin with.

[finite basalt]

I re-read it and yeah, it makes more sense now haha

[oblique loom]

Anyone off their mind know good study habits? Not just in general, but semi-specific with the field.

[devout palm]

Wat

[wooden totem]

it did for everyone else

[steady pewter]

huh, weird.

[wooden totem]

mr robot himself is personally messaging me, I wonder with what he needs help with. Maybe we're hacking the fbi again

[quasi hedge]

Does it also block the signals or just blink?

[viscid carbon]

for example at first wanna be penetration tester, (0 knowledge of literally nothing, networks, etc), is this course legit for me? or should i at first go to other place?

[sand trench]

it blocks the signals from the cable into your computer

[steady pewter]

blocking the signals:
just uh, severe the data parts of the cable.

[sand trench]

dunno if it blocks the wifi chip in omg cables

[devout palm]

Yeah it is beginner friendly.

[viscid carbon]

so after studying this course, i just need some experience ig?

[oblique loom]

I aim to be a pentester and all my exp was when I started in 2021 was hacking my neighbors internet to download GTA san Andreas for the 360

[devout palm]

Not only after, but always.

[viscid carbon]

XD

[oblique loom]

THM is the best learning source I've used

[devout palm]

Keep improving and you will see what you are passionate about.

[viscid carbon]

imma aim cause im sick of my indexes being hacked

[proper sable]

[devout palm]

Then specialize in a field.

[oblique loom]

Also HTB

[proper sable]

[oblique loom]

THM and HTB are my go-tos

[viscid carbon]

so you started from 0 in THM?

[oblique loom]

Outside portswigger at least

[viscid carbon]

from basically knowing nothing?

[oblique loom]

It's a long story, but yes

[proper sable]

mine are random writeups i find online they give the best information

[oblique loom]

Very green att

[proper sable]

it's funny i slipped both thm and htb lol

[viscid carbon]

could you share some links?

[oblique loom]

There's endless sources of info if one knows where to look :)

[viscid carbon]

?

[oblique loom]

Links for what? 0.o

The sites?

Any in particular

[viscid carbon]

for learning from literally 0 penetration tester

[oblique loom]

Legit, THM is the best place to start.

Their learning structure is super easy to understand and very detailed. Also, they have trying lab VMs you can attack

Training*

It's like, a shooting range

I guess

[viscid carbon]

can this be a pathway?

[boreal scarab]

Love me some easy OT

[viscid carbon]

?

[oblique loom]

Analogy

Or metaphor

Idk

Headache x.x

[viscid carbon]

.

[viscid carbon]

i mean this

[viscid carbon]

so what you think?

[tiny hazel]

@sharp sail u here?

[oblique loom]

In the 4 or whatever years I've been using THM I've learned more than I would if I went to school.

[sharp sail]

[oblique loom]

HTB can be difficult for first-timers. THM is perfect

[viscid carbon]

[sharp sail]
