hi
Please behave
doing fine , wby?
When will we get the Hackfinity certificate?
same doing well. just earned the pre security cert today
soon (as per staff)
oh thats great!

Soon , probably this week π

wbu? are you doing any task or aiming for any certification
doing web app pentesting certification , but for now mostly been doing CTF challenges for few days
to test myself and note down where im lacking and in what topics im lacking
how long are you doing this stuff like from starting point if i may ask
and its mostly the cryptography/cipher decryption i need to improve practice in
on THM 1 month or so
apart from that i have been learning on my own thru youtube/free or less priced courses for basics and understanding of basic tools n linux commands
Hi
Is there a guide somewhere in here on what boxes to begin with and what to do after completing one, or is it just you doing boxes at random?
oh i am at that point of learning the crypto and metasploit
challenge rooms?, u can start with easy ones , any ....the last pages are super beginner friendly in EASY section (after filtering )
11th,12th page of Easy section
Oh cool
go to challenge page and filter by easy and most users
is following the thm premium path is good or should i randomly complete the room by following YT
because right now i am beginner
ya its good i'd say , you'll learn alot of stuff in a hands-on experience way
can follow YT too , if its not too different ig
if u are in CS/IT domain , things should feel easier
right now i am doing computer application
From Discord?
Yep
i got a question if you can guide me
ah thats good too , might get familiar topics here too , such as in Computer Networks n all related topics
Do you guys need a mentor ?
@sick lance <<---- he can guide u far better than i can tho , coz he's very experienced already
like how much coding is required. should i learn dsa or just basic programming ?
absolutley. dm me
No coding required
Please do not promote other DIscord servers or services here.
for cyber u dont need coding , mostly usage of Tools , terminal/CLI commands
where would i recruit people for my server then?
Community Manager da Batman in invisible mode
local park
web white box pentest ? 𦧠reverse ? bin exploit ?
Not here, this is not a recruitment server.

i had that question and it is confusing me
thank you bro for clearing my doubt
Gave +1 Rep to @blissful current (current: #626 - 9)

:hammer: mhcgcgabriel_68616#0 has been banned.
ty @grand condor
yes , framworks , reverse shell , GTFO , suid exploits etc too
hilarious, ngl
Ban evasion.
is there anyone who is beginner like me we can learn togather 
so you don't need programming to get into offensive security ? π¦§
You can click the ban and it tells you.
need but basics , not deep DSA
Lots of people, it is a beginner cybersecurity server π π
Me! π€
basics ? π¦§

dm me bro
like knowing the coding fundamentals atleast
Honestly you will learn most of what you need to know about programming while you study to be an Offensive Security professional
Cool to send a friend request? Per rules, have to ask for permission, so double checking π
you can send it bro
yeah, but he said no programming in required, you still can learn programming while learning off sec for sure
It isn't, you don't need to write profficient code to work in the field
And depending on what you do you might never need to write anything
like what ?
It depends on where you work primarily, you will have to still read code but reading is much easier than writing code
yes, so you need to learn how things works in programming :p
i mean AI is there now , so coding is tbh not really a need ,
but what i meant it for ..was manual code reviewing such as in DevSecOps etc like stuff
Just don't lose your head over the thought of it, who knows maybe you'll enjoy programming
should have knowledge of coding ofcourse , otherwise it would feel like gibberish
Learning to read code > learning to write it.
AI doesn't see everything x)
i can't agree on that π
Have you ever tried to mark someone's work? 1 million times easier to find mistakes than it is to write your own answer
thats what ..and thats why manual is still considered >>
Hey @mossy river , If you got a work to guide a newbie to almost advance and make him in the great hackers within 6 months. How could you?

you find mistakes when you know how to do it
I don't have an official guide I'm afraid.
I wouldn't say I am advanced but my prime consisted of grinding TryHackMe, ctftime.org and vulnhub challenges, and following OSCP study stuff on the internet
brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Learning is a lot easier now that things like TryHackMe learning paths and walkthrough rooms exist
π¦§
Hello Shadow-sama , hows the Beets tool
Thanks! π appreciate it! β€οΈ
Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #6 - 1543)
well can't do much more with it right now as lack new music files :P
hello
excuse me
hello
Mhm but you don't need to understand it at such a low level and the more you expose yourself to code the easier it is.
I had only basic experience with Python but I found vulnerabilities in lots of different programs using various programming languages.
hello
which one can be my friend
+1
I have no friends...(new account)
what is a friend???
well, if you're talking about high level languages than yeah it's much more easier cause 90% of the time it's english and so you can develop your own "programming logic" by just reading it
shadow has harmed themselves enough by learning assembly
do you know that a shadow is not a living thing but is under a living things feet......Spooky
assembly is pain , i learnt it too but never really used it anywhere except in college so off practice completely lol
assembly >> all πΌ
some guy had made a whole game using assembly ...god^^^
learned assembly to be able to beat tis-100
do you know that by giving us O2 trees farm us to be there fertilizers
Is googling stuff cheating?
its a skill i'd say
I see
"searching skills"
Idk i find myself needing to google a lot to complete these rooms
google is 73% of my job
alr
may be you should try buying a third party softwere or some to learn more
i mean , except googling the write up and walkthroughs without caring to learn and just complete the room

but like googling information to help me solve the room?
maybe an ai teacher
is good?
ofcourse
OSINT is pretty much that
searching skill - to dig n find out from the internet
is GIFs disabled or some???
you need to verify to post images/gifs
that is the wrong one
/verify

I was doing the active reconnaissance room and stumble across this: "First, you can connect to a server, as you did with Telnet, to collect its banner using nc HOST_IP PORT, which is quite similar to our previous telnet HOST_IP PORT. Note that you might need to press SHIFT+ENTER after the GET line."
What is a banner
The text you get when you connect
Usually version information and what software it is
are you talking about the output of the telnet?
I can't see what you see
nvm I figured it out
can't I use curl instead of telnet?
yes but nc and telnet have their benefits in making the content creation and server client system easier to grasp
"content creation"?

Hey guys i think there is a glitch in the learning program for Cyber Security > Windows and AD Fundamentals > Active Directory Basics I tried running the attack box but it opens a linux instance instead of a windows one so i cant answer the questions accurately, anyone else run into this problem and how to fix it?
I think your attack box is linux, but you connect to windows pc through ssh. Should have params in the first section π
Edit: probs should ask in #room-help π
thanks ill do that but the attack box has to be windows because the other option is kali linux
no no no no
the attackbox is always linux and ubuntu based
the target machines sometimes start a split view though
hence said split view is sometimes windows
if you have it in split view there is tabs at the bottom of the split views right side
hello hackers.. I'm just a beginner and learning on try hack me.. today I completed my nmap basics module.. after completion i tried scanning on my college website and I am connected to the college's FTP server.. now it is asking credentials and i don't have them.. i tried anonymous and admin but dint worked.. now, can anyone tell me what things I can do further
clicking on those lets you switch between the different splits which some can be windows
its unethical
This seems sketchy. Did your college give you permission?
I went to split view but i dont see tabs to switch to a windows instance
Hey, we cannot help with this here, that is unauthorised access and is illegal.
in one of the tasks there is a green start machine button
most likely the first or second task
an example from another room:
I'm just trying to test my nmap therotical knowledge.. i don't know what website i have to scan.. so I tried with my college one π₯²
not on college website bud
You need to make sure you are working in ethical and legal environments.
You are in luck though, TryHackMe provides free and safe labs for you to practice in
You can create your own website, or ask your colegue for permission. But without one of those, accessing servers is illegal and helping you right now would be breaking the terms of this server.
Edit: Reread my message, sounded too cringe π
When you have more then one machine in the split screen, you can switch them using the tabs on the bottom.
i found a start machine tab but it doesnt load and says error
....
well then
sounds like a bug with either the room or the site and shadow has no clue how to fix said stuff
i refreshed the window, it looks like it worked. So all windows instances can answer all the questions to the study sections even if windows is activated from a different section?
i have completed those tasks at first i tried to scan my network.. after that I started to check on websites.. usually i will test everything on instagram, x and nasa. gov and my college website like pinging traceroute.. similiarly i learnt nmap and i tried it.. i don't want to do anything unethical.. if I found anything there... then I'll get appreciation in my college.. i thought like that π
yes, try finding a 0day priv esc on the FTP version the server is running on πΌ
You are breaking major ethics lol, you can't hack people and then report it and expect nothing because you're doing the right thing.
If they report you to the police you will be arrested.
this isn't the best time for jokes π
Oh thank god. Haven't gotten far and wasn't sure if it was a joke π
Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #6 - 1544)
if he is a beginner, he won't do a lot of things, but yeah if he starts scanning all the networks he see's than it will be a problem π¦§
Usually, companies don't care if you scan their network, even though it's not ethical.
seriously iam completely beginner and i didn't hear those terms before π₯²
all good, just don't do it again x)
Users that are new to the field can't tell the difference between a joke and real advice π
I don't want to throw the book at you but in future please respect rule 9
Imagine if a begginer tried some random commands, and accidentally hacked nasa or something like that π
Try to explain that in a court room (new course suggestion for tryhackme) π
true, i'm sorry x)
LMAOOO π

@river linden
Seems like an okay article to read before doing anything: https://eicta.iitk.ac.in/knowledge-hub/ethical-hacking/the-legal-and-ethical-aspects-of-ethical-hacking-understanding-your-responsibilities/. It's generally not a good idea to try anything on a piece of software/hardware you don't own. Especially if you're a beginner, since you'd never know the extent of damage you can cause. And even if you don't cause damage, the question of law still remains π
For admins/moderators: Please let me know if it's not okay to share external links, so that I can remove this π
β€οΈ
Can't add reactions yet π
almost got me there lol =/
" steamcommunity/50$/free " ahhh π π
I saw someone posted an acknowledgement letter from nasa for finding a p1 bug.. from that time I took it as inspiration and started tryhackme to get acknowledgement letter same like him.. so whenever I got some knowledge iam trying on those websites now I understand that there is an other way to make it happen.. can you or anyone help me to achieve this.. what things I have to learn and main question I have is.. iam following the tryhackme's roadmap.. after completing the roadmap did I able to start pen testing practically or I have to learn more..?
Careful, our automod will mute you and you'll be added to the ban list π€£
if you're trying in nasa's website its fine, if you don't do bad things after finding a vulnerability of course
please no π₯²
just joking haha
I know, dw there is an appeal process π
Noooo, leave "joste joking". Sounds real italian π
Can anyone help me with a section im stuck at?
Sometimes i teach cybersecurity, i can help you with the basics and more if you want :p
it doesn't π
Hahaha I've been laughing for 30 seconds, saying it with Italian accent π

Third room bug in under a week π₯ (Chec #1333993673381253162)
Found out by using a walkthrough with a screenshot to the aforementioned old version of the website that doesn't allow me to solve the question anymore
screenshots coming very soon, hold on tight
Rly weird I thought u just had to find a different way of getting the answer
finished thm, time for wsa
Yo, so my Kali vm keeps going to sleep even though I disabled the sleep settings in power management as root. any ideas?
Im having trouble downloading the VPN config pack for the wreath network (i just get an "unknown error" message). Anyone else have the same issue or know how to fix it?
Day 51
I installed backtrack 5
managed to update the dependencies from the old realeases of ubuntu since backtrack repos are offline
i think u gotta do it as the user
is the file empty?
i went thru this before dw
that's what I did first rip
I did something in the temrinal to fix it last time but forget
im not a linux expert
i just know how to use it to the point i can do most things without searching
wow what fun it is to read a section of extreme privacy what it takes to disapear that shadow can not use while living with their family because the network setup is not something shadow should mess with
There is no file. It loads and then just gives an error. My regular THM vpn is working just fine
Do you have a backup image? Next time I would open anything suspicious on a VM where you can test it
and we back in sections that shadow can apply:
What book are you reading for this privacy stuff? Iβm interested
nope, my data is probably compromised but theres probably nothing i can do
i would have had to create it before infection, no?
Sorry man that sucks
Yeah
its cool its a pretty new pc
however my stuff π
gonna have to factory reset or something idk
I would make an image anyways and dump your ram. You should give this stuff to law enforcement
to cisa or something?
sup hackers
extreme privacy what it takes to disapear 5th edition @rapid merlin
https://www.ic3.gov
would be the best

Can someone recommend me a Udemy course or other, to prepare for my SOC Analyst role? Thanks
SOC level 1 path on tryhackme
Why not THM SOC1, SOC2, Cyber Defense and https://academy.hackthebox.com/path/preview/soc-analyst
I also like their SOC sim on THM
can i do soc1 pathway without knowing anything about blue teaming
this seems like a task more users on here should read and apply
Make sure you have foundations down but yeah you can
THM is very beginner friendly
all you need to do to blue team is look at logs
Not really
@drowsy dust should I create new pwds after I reset
lots of report writing to report incidents
I jest I jest
what would these foundations be π€
okk
Anything linked to your computer at that time I would change yes
The amount of people I've spoken to who go "Oh I regularly ask ChatGPT for help with sensitive or classified info"
D:
They have a pathway on THM you can follow
I would go on record and say THM is entirely beginner friendly, the amount of things I learned through THM even before I became a subscriber is a no-brainer if you're serious about CS
like pre security? or are you talking about something else
anyone here use armitage? ... im missing the attack menu and dont know why
AI integration with stuff scares me more than AI itself. Things like co pilot and bard. I don't want AI anywhere near my os or docs
Yeah thatβs part of it. One sec
Vote with your usage. The only reason I ever interact with Copilot is to delete it from potential customers' computers
https://tryhackme.com/hacktivities under learning roadmap
At work whenever we get refurbished computers to set up for sale the first thing I do after installing W11 is to remove copilot
can we please stop pushing ai so hard its not meant to do half of what these companies are using ti for π¦
(Only on computers not yet bought, I never delete copilot off already owned PCs)
thank you for the help β€οΈ
Gave +1 Rep to @drowsy dust (current: #135 - 60)
is cyber 101 optional π
I would do it all tbh. Especially if youβre new
For me I just do everything over and over again. I always relearn
There's no optional info in cybersecurity, don't ignore potential knowledge just to save some time.
Can't lie, the Blue room was extremely fun
Very beginner friendly
The journey is the destination
You need passion and a love for what you do if you want to see yourself become good at what you're looking towards
Chin up, you're becoming better with each room and that says a lot
i have passion towards blue teaming, the whole networking thing is ehhh
i understand it
its just a lottt
Learning networking is practically learning a superpower
Allow yourself to do it ONE step at a time, cause it definitely is a lot, but it's not hard
Nothing's actually difficult if you put the time in
90% of my notes is all netoworking lolol
yea not hard just a lot π¦
Time is all you've got my friend, spend it wisely
aaaaaaaaaaand POOF shadow goes for the meep moop to the beep boop for the sleep sloop
Sleep tight
Not recommended but hey you do you
Networking is the part where you gotta make all those notes or what? Even am on the networking part and I thought itβs just me
networking FTW!!! I studied for CCNA but I never had a change to sit for it, because life got in the way, but now that I'm on sabbatical maybe I'll have a go. I love networking
just kidding but it would be nice π
Networking is beautiful. I can't believe we've done all this through rocks and metal
yea no not just you its a TON
Focus on the end-goal. Most of us on here work full-time (me included) while doing our studies!
do yall work in cyber?
Good to know itβs not just me
or other fields
For me itβs medicine
oooo
work?? what's that π π
π
I'm in I.T., some aspects of cyber yes
Oiiii if you're about to flex on me with your massive money stash I WILL ask for a generous sum
Hey, was anyone able to connect to open vpn from mac?
Getting connection timeout :/
Guys, which are the root port, designated port or alternate port in this and why?
is this your cisco test lol
No, not test just lecture slide
ahh ok, i feel like root would be A, this is 100% a guess though
not that far into netowkring
It's about the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP Concepts)
Google "what is difference between root designated and alternate port in stp protocol"
I did but ion understand lmao
Then ask your teacher
is it just for me or is the thm network hella slow again
Guys I think I prefer my job to be electrical engineering and computer mechanic rather than cyber sec..is that a blunder
Do what you love
Thatβs what matters most
it looks like homework, and we don't help with homework over here, maybe google can help
For money of course
Oof alright π
That's gonna be a lot of passwords
you can get some good money for being an electrical engineer
do i really have to pay to use this
tbf you have to pay atleast something for everything now a days
also tryhackme is a lot cheaper then most other streaming platforms/educational apps
Are SOC roles protected/future-proof?
How likely are they to be made redundant by AI?
Anyone got any useful sites or browser bookmarks they think I could find useful? Besides like, VirusTotal/AnyRun/Browserling/IPInfo
Hey everyone! Iβm new to TryHackMe and just getting started with offensive pentesting. Looking to connect with others, learn, and maybe team up for some rooms. Any tips for a beginner? Iβd really appreciate it. DM me if you can.
start with pre security to get some foundational knowledge first before jumping into pentesting
it'll help in the long run
I already have some basic knowledge
okkkk well im almost on pentesting so i'll be there soon
what's your status in cybersecurity?
im a beginner if thats what you mean
k
you?
intermediate
ooo ok
i was rush from level 1 to level 8 in one day
i just play CTF and 2 insane rooms bro
oh dang you must get a lot of exp from ctfs then
am limited by my ability to make notes xd
right there with you π notes take up 90% iof the time
ong bruh my hands hurting
Oh, u donβt need to say that, Iβm just challenging myself, bro
what pathway are you on rn?
and the end of pre security, you?
nah just saying it as like a general thing cause thats insane
i did more questions and only half your lvl
dns wasn't to complicated
ye the most bs part was networking
:/ like wth
overloaded with info
wanna study together sometime later?
like 6am? time aint a problem for me am a night owl
I just started on TryHackMe not too long ago, dude. I usually play CTFs on HTB and Hacker101
π dang its 7 pm for me thats actually a huge jump, but yea its okkk
ahh ok so you have a lot of experience already
makes sense
am doing thm for like 5 hours by now
yeah, i'm offensive security
im the same though i usually spend like 7-8 hours a day
ooo that sounds fun
nah
on caffeine
anyways after pre sec wanna do cyb sec 101 together
am kinda excited
yea lets do it π
bet
prepare to solve a next machine
you use a vm?
blackarch is an interesting namr
i'm kinda w Parrot but i was config for my fav blackarch
ahhh ok ok that makes sense
Tim cheese π§
No shit kind sir I love all three. But ur right anyway!
bro your the one who said you preferred your job in electrical engineeringπ
I thought I said "I think" my bad. But "prefer" doesn't invalidate the fact that I love all three!
Amd the person is right anyway!
lol yay autocorrect
yeppp π
What
Yes every time I sleep again
IM SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!!!!!
shoot i cant upload stuff.................
uhm i verifyd my acc...... uhhmmmm
well i just made a python script and got it running in my penguin shell AND it executed it on Brave which is what i wanted (i have opera and brave installed via linux so i was expecting problems)
im just happy with myself cuz i had to set up a lot of stuff to make it work
(also my IT guy at school told me that my linux container is not actually ON the chromebook its just being simulated wich causes weird problems)
hah thanks it generated cat images.......
so the two new 1337 hackers that popped out of nowhere straight in to the top of the leaderboard are legit or naahhhh?
uhhm i dont know
first one ofc isn't
ok
but what about the other one?
The leaderboard now defaults to monthly view
idk.....
Switch it to all time
yeah im talking about all time for all countries
0day, aquinas and yamato have been sitting in the top 3 for a long time
OK, because 0-day still 1
Upshaw has been around a while. Crazy long streak, though I'm not sure with how many missing days he has
hmmmm
ohhhh, it looks different for me
Thanks. I didn't realize that they also changed that default
Gave +1 Rep to @grand condor (current: #2770 - 1)
Crazy. Didn't know
those two at the top popped out of nowhere
First one is in 10 rooms and completed 6
seems legit
is elliot himself after all
Something is wrong. Completed 2200 events this year and like 80 last year
Penguin shell I think means linnx
idk a freind at school said that the way im setup its a shell...........
π€£
π€£π€£π€£π€£
I laughed
why don't you use dark mode? you monster....
hey........... you shouldnt expect me to know sh*t read my bio lol
#2 seems legit. 700+ completed rooms
Contrast isn't great for me.
I like it for some things, but not THM
but he popped out of nowhere straight into top 2 of all times
Why his face like acting as joke not actorπ€£
hey........... you shouldnt expect me to know sh*t read my bio lol
Not tracking it closely enough to know
I read ig
I wonder if one of the new featues is broken, or if the SAL-1 is OP
100K points for the cert
My friend I'm laughing about your friend not u
opps i meant status
Who says penguin
a dude lol
Has anyone completed the THM cert?
Why his face being not actor
U got me not you
his name is J-noah
But its fine I was noob like that
knows more..????????? than me???????? (nope actually i know more than he doesπ )
my status lol: π I did weird s**t and it worked
SAL1 it's ez to take bro, i hope THM will release a advance Red Team cert
What u mean by that
i mean i did something really weird and unconventional that i cant even explain well and somehow it worked
(stuff works with like a 87% success rate)
Okay tell me what is it then?
Congrats!
500 people come up when I search LinkedIn for people with ""sal1" tryhackme"
no way red alert reference
just anything its just my state of existance cuz im always doin weird sh*t
My mind says what happening
Linkedin i just using or repost, not post anything π
π
SAL1 is my 2nd certificate, normally I donβt care much about certs, but TryHackMe did a pretty good job with it
idfk
I dont like bad words
Congrats , great job π π π₯
@rapid merlin see the private
I'm just testing out

My phone does echolocation apparently lol
Dudes phone is a dolphin
Bro guys, how do i grow my script nest server
Could you explain that a bit more?
The sentence is a little confusing and I'm not certain what you are looking for.
yo whats HackTool:Linux/AirCrack.A!MTB
my server's pretty chill today
Likely a response from AV?
?
Anti-Virus.
oh
Do you have hacking tools installed on your system or virtual machine?
nah i dont
:vvv bypass AV we don't using in Linux bro, we using in Windows
i was just wondering what it was
Well what you asked is what I answered. If you are asking what aircrack is it's a wireless hacking tool suite.
I should say part of.
I meant how can I have more members in my server bro. I made a new freaking Script Nest server and has 2 members only. Its so well organized but...
Hey does anyone know why my Porter Robinson album appears like this after I purchased it and delete from library from apple music
Lmao, its just an app that lets me see the data from pretty much every sensor (phyphox)
Are you telling people about it?
Yes But i can't advertise
Are you advertising your work?
Its in my bio
Understood.
Youre lacking in the jork department
So only people that actually click your bio can see that. Perhaps help the community out for a while, and grow your fame. It will grow my friend!
did you fix the jork department?
what is it
my literature review is complete, just need to wait for feedback
- Not enough process diagrams.
Man I still have to do the experiment for it and the findings etc.
but at least the bulk of it's done π
While I wait for feedback I'm going to start on another 4k word report that's due in 2 weeks
Are you in law school?
nah, am studying cyber security and digital forensics
Good luck. I think the only cyber class that I had to write that much wsa cyber law
I swear to god in second year we wrote two reports that were 6 pages each, that's it. Whatever this year is I don't like it π
And the capstone
Last semester I had to write 10k words, this semester 15k
Don't blame you, but you'll get through it and will be better for it.
I have written more this year than I think I have in my life haha
bachelors, couldn't pay me to do a masters at my uni haha
It might be less writing. Those masters TA's dont have all day to read
yeah but I've had a right hassle with my diss supervisor
at first he was outright rude and failed to provide any constructive feedback, then he argued semantics, then gave me feedback in riddles
That sucks.
on the plus hand, since enough complaints have been made against my dissertation supervisor, his marking is also going to be checked by multiple other tutors and myself and my housemate have been personally apologised to by our course director
My dissertation supervisor firmly believes there's no wordlimit for a dissertation, if it wasn't a problem I'd say "bless him, he's no clue what a dissertation is does he" but it is a pain in the arse for sure haha
I cna't imagine why so much writing is needed in cyber, but I'll tell you this. It is a useful skill in the real world. So there is some benefit
Oh for sure, I think what actually really sucks is that I really enjoy the topic I'm writing about but unfortunately this year has sucked so badly that I really can't be bothered with it, at least I've carried myself with my other modules so I only need to average 51% across these last modules to get a first
It's actually really ironic imo, one of the modules last year was a 9k word report and I hated it and nearly submitted it half done because I knew I could get away with it, ended up doing it fully just to get as high as I could in case my diss supervisor let me down and it ended up being my highest module across all my years.
That module alone was worth 14.5% of my degree grade roughly
9000 words is crazy!
36 minutes of reading. 31+ pages writing (Double spaced, 12 point font)
What was the average amount of words u have written per report when u were a freshman?
Give me a minute, I'll check
yeah for something that's not a dissertation and was only worth 20% of a module worth 20 credits
Like the dissertation is worth 40 credits and is nearly the same amount of writing with the paper being one of the most significant parts π€£
Can't tell you about 1st year but 2nd year it was roughly 2213 words per assignment with a total of 13k words done over the year
So by the end of this year I will have written over double that, that's also excluding the software engineering module which I'll see if I can find how many lines I wrote for that
edit: checked and the code I wrote was 2583 lines of code as well
I just got overwhelmed with all of the possibilities to scan a website and webappβs server for vulnerabilities, can someone help, maybe suggest the best ones or idkπππΌ
There're no "best ones" π
So I just use all of them and pick the most critical vulnerabilities or what?
Enumerate with all 
dwag
What was the thing that made u improve?
in ur opnion
pffft
man I got locked out of the website, I can't remember my username or email π€£
gimme a few
it's a room on nmap that describes each of the scans though, just try search nmap in the learn section
The nmap script is good also
It wasn't as much about improving for me, the wordcount just went up, I can't say I've learnt much up until this year because I'd already done most of it in my free time
the best piece of advice I've got is, don't focus on knowing everything, know how to find the answer to most things
Gave +1 Rep to @fervent meteor (current: #53 - 167)
Like for coding, you'll never remember every function, get into a mindset of "there's probably a function/library for that" and then google it and find out, kinda the same for most things imo. Don't know how to use a tool? --help, man page, online documentation, stack overflow
Just that sort of thing, and don't be afraid to try and apply the knowledge of something you know to something completely different when learning
Looking good
Ty yall i made like 10 with AI if someone wants dm
Does tryhackme only do webapp hacking tough?
no, it has networks for things like active directory
it's got loads of different stuff, even forensics stuff
does anyone know java \
why're you asking?
Forensics? Isnβt that like a wide branch that have pentesting/redteaming/network hacking?
like data recovery and analysis
and also blueteaming stuff like incident response as well
basically just priviledge esc isnt it
red hats santa
Yea and I saw that red hat also exist
black hat is illegal, red hat typically fights black hat
from my understanding

Just came up with a random joke to do with windows and covid. Don't know if I'd be allowed to share it here but it's not really bad. Kinda acronym word play I guess.
what is it
Can any mod allow it
Doesnβt every βethicalβ hacker have a shady past π€£
who cares worst that will happen is a 20 minute mute
I used to spam my 4gm of ram android phone with luckypatcherβs cracks, he was living in martyr
When I was a kid

a key logger is not social engineering
No
Let's not discuss illegal topics please π
illegal? how is testing physical infiltration any different from doing it online? im sure alot of the courses on thm would be classified as illegal if it was the real thing
Keylogger plugging is illegal is what he meant
keyloggers are illegal??
exactly testing is fine i never said to do it on someone elses stuff
then why was chatgpt trying to get me to make one as a beginner pyhton project π
Yeah
because gadgets are cool
Even I have a personal project ... Just a showcase for resume nothing more
Use*
its all about intent
π«‘
Yea I think thatβs one of the first rooms on thm
Talking about engagements and procedures like that
where do i find the remote priv esc room on thm wanna test my skills
A ctf?
thanks
Bro how do you get those links so fastπ
He literally just asked
xp π
π
What OS are you guys mostly using? (I am used to using Kali and Ubuntu. I will try another one.) tyty
kali
ParrotOS
i use windows
Windows + kali vm
Not really, I'm proof of that. Having ethical standards no matter the conditions can take you a long way.
or parrotsec its better than parrot os
Well good job mate
why is kali so much better than windows is its cause of the prebuilt penetrating systems or what
its just because it has a larger community and more opensource
I use Kali, but mostly for convenience. Have to wrestle it every once in a while just to get the packages to upgrade or install new libraries, but other than that, not much outside of having preinstalled tools.
larger community of hackers*
Use templeOS
Not all tools are built for windows π
got it
guys i need a super easy box to do with my lil bro. im teaching him hacking so nothing too serious
I'd suggest pickle rick.
It's a classic.
weve done that one
billing?
Any OS recommendations? I'm currently using Windows and Kali in a VM. Just got a ThinkPad T490 and want to try something new
Ah, then what's their level in cybersecurity (understanding)?
weve done that too
basics of linux and enum
Well open source/free/and very low hardware cost/and more , it is faster
i dont think he needs super easy boxes anymore lol
Perhaps something medium difficulty.
lemme find a room.
what are boxes yo π
the "challenge" rooms
send me like the easiest one i wanna try
Maybe Tryrootme, just for the reverse shell concept with a php file
even if its dumb dumb
great idea
Pickle rick
tysm
free or subscription?
free
weve done pickle rick already
Perhaps smol? (it'll build on their already existing knowledge of enum)
Not you, for @heady parrot
sure that will be next on the list
Cool, glad to help.
bet
https://tryhackme.com/room/billing you can try that
Did anyone done that cheese website ctf?
i couldn't do it π¦ (i didn't take a single learning room in pentesting yet)
Try dogcat with them yet?
i havent
i havent done that one myself
im fairly new to THM
It'll introduce an || LFI to Code Execution || vulnerability. (and with php revshell as a bonus.)
i normally play HTB
ooo that sounds fun
i love the php rev shells the most
i always use the same one unless otherwise
Guys what do you think about metasploitable ?
i love metaspoitable 2
ive never tried 3 tho
but you can learn a bit from it
I'm a complete beginner, and I've started with tryhackme. What other resources would be helpful? Any tips for a beginner?
hackthebox
@digital bone βbrooklyn nine nineβ will teach him steganography and protocols such as ftp, itβs a ctf
that one was fun
i dont think hes ready just yet for steg
hes pretty good with crypto tho
Isn't it old?
Youtube
They released it in 2016
For me, GTFObins was always a good help for privesc stuff.
fact ^
It isnβt good for beginners, I mean it is intimidating compared to tryhackme, I found thm beginners friendly
fair
picoCTF is good for general skills
alot more wweb and rev eng stuff tho
not much rooting
Yeah, it kinda just..throws you in without much help, "Here's your objective, find the IP logging into the server without clearance!"
Me:
Wait, what?!
Guys do you know null byte on youtube? They have some crazy tutorials
They arenβt specialised in pentesting tough, they do everything
Ty
Gave +1 Rep to @finite basalt (current: #95 - 82)
No
I ll check it
They have a tutorial to even make your own learning machine (hacking learning ones)
But it is for wifi only
What do you mean ? Like setup a lab ?
Iβll send it in ur dms
Do you think it s still useful ?
Alr
Check it
i did some underthewire games, but i couldn't do any rooms on my without getting help
It's a new way of thinking for most people, I had trouble with it too. If you trust the fundamentals you get introduced to at the beginning, and don't try to figure them out any deeper, instead broaden your knowledge of accounting, you will get the bigger picture and you will understand the individual parts much better.
the complete inverse of overthewire, impressive.
Mb it's the overthewire bandit rooms
Damn I settled my alarm for 6am so that I would wake up early and be productive. Suprise, itβs 4:37am

Meanwhile my alarm rings at 8AM , and yesterday I slept at almost 9AM
It was a weekend, tomorrow I have school, freaking math and science at 8am
Actually 9am
School...damn How old ru
I just turned 16
Happy early birthday
happy birthday dudes!
Really off topic question, but is anyone familiar with power inserters for home internet usage?
POE? POC?
At this point I'll be wished for my next birthday in advance too that too in this year

Wait youβre a CS student
Ya
No, not power over Ethernet. It's a small module, looks a little like a coax splitter, that's used to amplify the signal on the wire before it hits your modem
Why? I mean itβa CS MOAJOR
Ohh, so sort of like a repeater, or amplifier
But i do have a startup
And is it everywhere in the world or only specific countries
It's called a power inserter going by its name, but sure, I need to figure out which coax connectors go where
@blissful current god mone works in 64x bit systems?
Rest of the world is still fine... Mine is overpopulated... And parents mentally mostly is "either engg or med is the only real career"
mode*
Been at this for an hour already
No samurai no!
Yo crazy, same either doctor or engineer π
rip samurai, he was okay
Managerial positions obvi
What is accounting?
uh-oh.
thats a good question, accounting is

So anyone got any input? Ever done home Network installation?
Well, idk about yours, but just looking at a diagram for one I found on the internet,
on one side you'll have the connector towards the antenna
On the other side, you'll have a hookup for the power adapter next to the hookup for the receiver which could be a dvr or a modem.
Explain it?
Yeah it's got 3 male plugs. Ones for the amp
It's the other two that aren't making sense
Doesn't help I've got two dummy coax cables in the mix
If you have a 1 : 3 coax splitter, I think I've seen the 1 end for the coaxial coming from the wall, the others get split into wherever you need the power to go
I don't know for sure though, I work with fiber and ethernet
Please stop discussing illegal topics
whats fz
What you're trying to do is
flipper zero
You don't necessarily need to use ALL the ends either, because your setup will draw the amperage it needs.
I am not an electrician, I only took a beginning electricity class and I failed bc irl so take it with a grain of salt lol
Thatβs a good question, fz is
right
ajwyays Im screwed for accounting
Yeah I'm supposed to be getting fiber tomorrow but I needed to move this and it isn't coming back up
Imma do some last minute study
how do i build a home server with fiber optic cables and get tons of internet speed
oh god lmao
wish me luck guys
-# even though I know Im failing
GOOD LUCK SAM!
Academic comebacks are on january mate
Just give up /j

although science was easy we had a whole crash out session before science and the question was easy asf
MATE ITS ALMOST APRIL
He's joking lmao go read your notes and take 10 before your test lol you'll do fine
yeah
π
just go study π
We love you
Go away xD
wow
It will be good for you lmao
what a nice way to say "Bye bye glhf"
Wym βfunβ
uh-oh, he's about to find the fun in accounting
When his phone dies, he's gonna have to do anything for a dopamine hit
TELL ME WHAT FUN IS THIS?!
i cant send it here due to the 1st rule of thr server
keep it english
wait no
rule 7
4%
staying strong
I usually just go beat my lil brother (family friendly)
Make ur phone away

Assalamualaikum brother
And make ur self disable not work
You need to get you a portable charger. You studying right now bud?
Walkeem salemπ
hru my friend?
Fine
Good to hear
dude was here since last 4 mins
why you chose accounting if you wanted to do cyber??????????
More accountants get hired
Because its in my stream
my academics stream
I take business
cuz I hate add maths
could have had chosen another stream π€·ββοΈ
Please guys I need to finish the crouse I study little take sleep and then take rest and then contiune its fine this thing?
maths is fun
mathematics is great
Guys math is not plural
did you really have to say that?
Yes
Lmao
but it's mathematics
Its jover
F
π¦ΉββοΈ
If anyone has spectrum for Internet and you have a power inserter/amplifier connected, if you could take a picture so I know what goes where it would be appreciated.
GG ITS JOEVER

oh no 
That's a real example of a bug being a feature π π

pretty entertaining to know, especially if his head pops up everyday on this discord :D
This is my opinion on which youtubers are most likely to waste your time and money, and which have quality advice. No more, no less. :)
Does Tryhackme have rate limiting right now? I'm trying to do fuzzing through a VM and I'm getting inconsistent results
Not really, #room-help please.
