[rapid merlin]

Quite ironic when you think that there wasn't really much obsorbed from that video other than what we already knew 😭

Have a goodnight! - [CST] (Good Morning Australians!)

[sick lance]

Isn't it PM, right now for them?

[rapid merlin]

No clue! however my friend is in australia and it's like 9 something for him or something like that

9 - 11 am

[sick lance]

It can't be...

Lol

[rapid merlin]

[sick lance]

It's 8AM in the UK.

[rapid merlin]

Ah

so it's probably about 2-4 for em

😭

[sick lance]

Lool

Nooo.

It's 7PM.

[rapid merlin]

WHAT 😭

[sick lance]

GMT +11.

[rapid merlin]

That's wild ngl.

It's crazy how time works internationally..

[sick lance]

What, timezones?

[rapid merlin]

Yes, and how they influence our sleep/wake cycle. Don't you find it interesting that we all live in different parts of the world, yet we all wake up when the sun comes up? (nothing revolutionary, just a thought expiriment; Imagine if we didn't have a system like this in place.. 😭 )

[grizzled void]

wouldnt we do this naturally since this was done before time was conceptualized?

[sick lance]

Yes.

[rapid merlin]

Yes! But that's what I'm talking about, imagine if we didn't form that carcadian rhythm and were subjected to a "Universal Timezone" [would probably be hell ngl]

It's just interesting.. really no merit to what I'm currently saying, just wanted to say something before I went to bed and now I'm exploring the philosophy of timezones..

[grizzled void]

so imagine if the world didn't rotate around the sun therefore never experiencing a day/night cycle or if the world was simply flat with the sun always on? seems like territory I would rather not get into

[sick lance]

Silly, everybody knows the sun revolves around the flat Earth.

[rapid merlin]

What if instead the sun orbited around us?

[grizzled void]

that is a very classic take on it

[rapid merlin]

yeah I'm going to bed

I'm pretty sure I just regurgitated what you just wrote.

[sick lance]

Welcome to the Flat Earch society, where the only thing to fear, is sphere itself.

[grizzled void]

ha that's good

[rapid merlin]

do all flat earthers have a lisp?

[naive violet]

Toroid earth

[rapid merlin]

yo is their any alternates to BTL i dont have money

[sick lance]

All certifications will cost money.

[rapid merlin]

i dont care about certificates

like the cheaper one will be fine

[chilly veldt]

price usually reflects quality

[sick lance]

Certificate != Certification.

[rapid merlin]

not true

[sick lance]

...How is it not?

[rapid merlin]

i mean you can get 90 % of that while paying less

[sick lance]

The certification?

Or the material?

[rapid merlin]

material

[grizzled void]

Neither the sun nor the earth rotate each other, they are both stationary in relation to one another. The earth is a rotating mobius strip with the sun sitting in the center. The earth simply rotates around itself to expose a new face towards the sun.

[sick lance]

Ok, and the certification proves you know the material.

[rapid merlin]

agree but i want just the material

[sick lance]

You didn't specify.

You listed a certification, and asked for an alternative.

[rapid merlin]

i want to learn basics of defensive security

[sick lance]

THM has some defensive rooms outside the paths, some are free.

Letsdefend has a few.

HTB probably do too.

[rapid merlin]

look i can pay leass but not more

a decent amount

[sick lance]

I'm assuming they have free content.

50% of THM content is free.

[idle arrow]

New features I see 👀

[rapid merlin]

ok i will look out for that thanks man

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sick lance (current: #2 - 3553)

[naive violet]

That doesn't disclaim price indicating quality, you're just describing diminishing returns

[rapid merlin]

bro what about the THM - CDP

[naive violet]

The what now?

[rapid merlin]

is it good?

[sick lance]

..We have no idea what it is.

[naive violet]

Can you spell out the initialism/acronym please?

[chilly veldt]

Cyber defense path

[sick lance]

All paths on THM have subscription content, if you don't wish to spend money.

[rapid merlin]

gone ?

[chilly veldt]

it'll be removed the 2nd of april

[sick lance]

It will be removed.

[chilly veldt]

same with intro and complete beginner

[rapid merlin]

why it isnt showing then

[sick lance]

Can still visit the paths, you just can't enrol in them.

[chilly veldt]

ye

[rapid merlin]

oh

[idle arrow]

Hmm any reason for these? New ones coming instead?

[naive violet]

Usually

Or replaced by existing content

[rapid merlin]

how many lev are their in the SOCs

[chilly veldt]

cyber defense is replaced with SOC paths
intro and complete beginner is replaced with cyber security 101 and pre security

[idle arrow]

Ahhh have not checked out beginners in a while haha. Makes sense

[chilly veldt]

yup

[rapid merlin]

is their any bug bounty hunter

?

[proper sable]

i used to

i need one of these to hack on

[naive violet]

@fading perch Don't post harmful commands

[rapid merlin]

mhhmm

who uses arch here?

[proper sable]

me

[rapid merlin]

which one

[proper sable]

plain arch with sway WM

[chilly veldt]

Plain arch as well

[blissful current]

[rapid merlin]

whats sway WM

im a rookie

[proper sable]

it's a tiling window manager

https://swaywm.org/

[wraith bison]

I need a real g asap

I will pay

[sick lance]

What do you need?

[proper sable]

hi @sick lance

[sick lance]

👋 Good morning.

[proper sable]

how are you?

[sick lance]

I'm ok, yourself?

[proper sable]

i'm decent, need to get back on studying for certs

i hate multiple choice certs, give me hand on tasks plssssssss

[sick lance]

My Uni has MCQ exams, it's pathetic.

[proper sable]

100% you don't learn as much

i'd rather just go straight for OSWE or OSCP if i could

[sick lance]

Well, you learn to remember, especially when questions are in the same order as mock exams.

[proper sable]

this

[chilly veldt]

I got IT-Service management right now

it's so boring

[sick lance]

I'm sitting in AI.

[proper sable]

that's IT for you

[chilly veldt]

and I have to install vmware workstation on my arch

[proper sable]

why vmware?

[chilly veldt]

why not

I need virtual machines

[proper sable]

it's better but i did qemu with virt-manager

works great

[chilly veldt]

yeah, but when you have to work with ESXI servers, vmware works best

[proper sable]

ahhhhh yeah

[proper sable]

only thing i hated was its hard to disconnect wifi

i should create my own iso where it's past the windows setup stuff

[chilly veldt]

yup

[proper sable]

cause that's always annoying

[sick lance]

I create VM's, put on all the tools I need, then snapshot and back up to an external.

[proper sable]

yeah i need to do that

[sick lance]

So I can either go back if I need to, or worst case scenario, transfer.

[proper sable]

i've been just remaking vms left and right lmao

[sick lance]

What do you need?

[proper sable]

cause i get sketched out if i play with malware even if its never executed

so i just scrap and reinstall

i should patch the vmware backdoor just to be safe 🤔

fuck i should do some research on it

see if i can get a 0day

[chilly veldt]

ffs, vmware workstation doesn't validate properly 😦

[proper sable]

wdym

[sick lance]

Shouldn't need to.

[chilly veldt]

yay files doesn't validate

[proper sable]

yay -Syu?

[chilly veldt]

the sha256sum of the workstation files failed

so I have to install manually

[proper sable]

bad mirrors?

[chilly veldt]

you don't need -Syu

[proper sable]

can you install other stuff

[chilly veldt]

just yay syncs

[proper sable]

oooh i didn't know that

[chilly veldt]

and yes I can install other stuff, it's just bad mirrors

[proper sable]

that's nice actually

[proper sable]

ah rip

[dapper wyvern]

Hello

[sick lance]

Hello

[proper sable]

do you need a real g aswell?

/j.

[sick lance]

They do need help, yes. 😄

[sick lance]

What do you need help with?

[proper sable]

Scrubz do you have any advice on focusing on certain things

[sick lance]

I eat the frog.

[proper sable]

i need to study for A+ and Sec+ but i am invested in my windows hacking project

[sick lance]

I don't wait about, I just do it until it's done.

[proper sable]

ahh

my brain isn't quite like that :/

[sick lance]

I can very easily fixate on something, and won't stop until I can't do it, or get it done.

It drives my partner crazy.

[proper sable]

luckyyyyy

i can fixate on stuff but that fixation will be the wrong thing or like 4 things at once

[wicked sage]

Make time for all three

[proper sable]

i technically could but transferring from one to another might be hard

maybe something like hour or two hour timers and cycle through when they go off?

[sick lance]

That could work.

[proper sable]

my only problem with that is i'll turn it off cause im in the middle of something and not move to the next 😭

actually i could snooze it

[sick lance]

But then how how often would you snooze it?

[proper sable]

that's a good question 🤔 infinitely probably

[karmic furnace]

I'm currently fixating on something that doesn't even really concern me, its just so unique and so annoying that it's bothering me

[sick lance]

Who're you?

[karmic furnace]

I know right

[sick lance]

How's parenthood mixed with the newold job?

[karmic furnace]

i'm still trying to work out what is more stressful

the job is new because new things keep getting past to me

and I'm so okay with that

[tepid kestrel]

Hey!!!

[proper sable]

Hello!

[tepid kestrel]

So, what's up!!!!

[proper sable]

procrastinating sleeping, a bit stressed on finding a job

[tepid kestrel]

Umm..!! Me to bro...!!! Bcuz no one understand us...!!!! If u r a h@cker😉

[proper sable]

[jagged yarrow]

[proper sable]

[jagged yarrow]

Well maybe even now

[proper sable]

[karmic furnace]

we absolutely all are a little bit

[chilly veldt]

actually was about to ask tim, but is the ctf builder only for teams/enterprise?

[sick lance]

Yes.

[proper sable]

[chilly veldt]

ah, nice, just saw it (still have teams access apparently)

[sick lance]

Teams was recently re-introduced.

[chilly veldt]

yeah, was more referring to something else

[sick lance]

You mean the QA?

[chilly veldt]

ye

the old assignments

[sick lance]

tim has more than likely forgotten.

[chilly veldt]

I mean, I don't mind

it's not like I have time to do anything on thm lately

[wicked sage]

Google calendar it. I can send you my google calendar screenshot as an example if you like.

[leaden marsh]

I have question I send video funny?

[leaden marsh]

I can but its arabic video

[sick lance]

If you have to ask, probably not.

[leaden marsh]

Okay

[last gale]

any linux tech savy willing to help me out? i installed kali yesterday and now it wont boot into the GUI. It only brings me into the terminal interface. I tried things such as sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade without success. It seems like its unable to fetch archives. I wasnt sure where to post this sorry if im using the wrong channel

[queen flare]

how did you install it

[slow cloud]

Sounds like a network issue with the fetch archives maybe dns?

and is this on a vm or a actual machine

[last gale]

actual machine. I installed it via live boot on my usb drive

[slow cloud]

What kind of screen do you see when booting?

like a cli or just a black screen

[wind magnet]

hola

[last gale]

first im taken to a text based login screen and if i log in i can access the terminal

[wind magnet]

im new here

[slow cloud]

weird

if you dont really care about the installation you can always try reinstalling

i dont think ive seen that before

Sorry i cant help that much But i think there might be some other people who can help

[last gale]

i guess i could reinstall, look at our mutual servers btw haha

[slow cloud]

i sawwww

[last gale]

[slow cloud]

if you need some help and want to use dutch you can always shoot me a dm

im going to lunch cya and goodluck

Ctrl+Alt+F1: Returns you to the graphical desktop environment log in screen.
Ctrl+Alt+F2: Returns you to the graphical desktop environment.
Ctrl+Alt+F3: Opens TTY 3.
Ctrl+Alt+F4: Opens TTY 4.
Ctrl+Alt+F5: Opens TTY 5.
Ctrl+Alt+F6: Opens TTY 6.

you're accessing TTY 3 most likely

[last gale]

im accessing TTY1

[queen flare]

what's better between virtualbox and vmware

[sick lance]

It's more user based.

Some will argue Vmware is better, like me, some will say it's VB

[chilly veldt]

try ctrl+alt+f1

should force it

[last gale]

someone on a forum suggested booting with an internet connection. I am not connected to the internet so ill try that

[queen flare]

okay, why would you say vb is better?

[chilly veldt]

if that doesn't work then start the desktop service

[last gale]

didnt do anything

[sick lance]

I would not, I'd prefer vmware.

[sick lance]

Did you install graphical install or CLI?

https://tenor.com/view/vmware-virtualbox-vs-gif-23531880

[craggy wadi]

I would not recommend this exam

i cannot click to next question

sorry that is a no go

and then there are people out there which pay for this sorry

and no help during exam

thats a no go

[blissful current]

[wooden totem]

It's kinda new, so it would help reporting this stuff

[fathom pawn]

I did BTL1 and BTL2 and CCD and Comptia Pentest and Sec and you are not allowed to compare your exam with such

Firefox newest browser and no Addons are active. sorry for me thats a no go for an exam

sorry Tryhackme but you failed

[lusty hound]

[gritty fern]

There is plenty of staff, they just have stuff to do like any person

[fathom pawn]

no staff is responding to my exam problem

sorry tryhackme but that is a failing exam from your side

[chilly veldt]

I mean, I love vibe coders

[fathom pawn]

never seen this in every other Exam (CCD, BTL1, BTL2)

[chilly veldt]

maybe express your feelings in an email to them instead of this open forum?
they would most likely love your feedback, but it doesn't help that you're sitting here throwing mud all over the place because of how you feel

[spark flint]

bro said we have life

[fathom pawn]

they are also not responding to email or chat

[lusty hound]

As developer from Asia. I need help from others.

Hope I can meet someone here

[chilly veldt]

what is the best pdf parser you can recommend me for windows to analyse malicious pdfs?

getting one for linux is easy but getting one for windows is a pain in the ass

[blissful current]

• Creates a Folder
• Creates a File called Test.py
• Writes a=10 print(a) OR print("hello world")
• Closes the Laptop coz tons of programming done in one day and proceeds to play PUBG mobile or Watch Reels on Instagram

Hi

hey

[toxic root]

Yo

[wooden tree]

does anyone have any laptop recommendations for starting out?

[unkempt berry]

anyone here used shodan? Is it worth paying for subscription if it allows you to see live cameras with locations?

[unkempt berry]

any laptop will do but ideally would recommend something with 16gb of ram and anything i5 or above processor or amd.

[wooden tree]

gotcha thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @unkempt berry (current: #2770 - 1)

[slate hemlock]

Depends how you gonna use it, using it for spying unethically is bad and it’s 69$ I believe so yeah it’s pretty worthit imo but I’ve never used it personally

[unkempt berry]

i want to actually present to cyber students for my final year project. Now i want to a simple example to show the dangers of this tool. But not sure i should pay for it if it does give much info. What's the difference between their $49 and $69 subscription?

[chilly veldt]

approx $20

[unkempt berry]

nice thanks for that

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @chilly veldt (current: #8 - 971)

[slate hemlock]

If you just wanna use it for final year project just use the free version not worth buying the paid version but if you’re gonna actually use shodan then buy the 69$ it’s more value for money than 49$

[unkempt berry]

can you send me link the please?

[chilly veldt]

it's just on their billing site

sorry, but I don't share tools that can be used maliciously

[unkempt berry]

okay no worries, its for my final year project

[sick lance]

Shodan?

[chilly veldt]

ye

[naive violet]

Bear in mind the $49 is one-off

[sick lance]

Is student account != $49 ?

[chilly veldt]

no

[sick lance]

Been awhile since I've looked.

[unkempt berry]

yeah its open source tool where you can track see unsecure ips, unsecure webcams etc

[naive violet]

Student gets you more privs than either

[chilly veldt]

$49 is their normal membership

[sick lance]

I know what it is, lol.

[sick lance]

Ah, I see.

[slate hemlock]

I have used it for bug bounty

[naive violet]

All tools can be used maliciously

[slate hemlock]

Yeah exactly

[sick lance]

I use Shodan to see which computers are currently ransomwared. 😄

[chilly veldt]

yeah, but not sharing shodan for the privacy of the ones laying on there, especially due to the cameras you can find

[naive violet]

https://www.shodan.io/

Ez

[unkempt berry]

am actually using it to present the danger of this tool, so what would you guys recommend? Particually related to social engineering, potential cyber attacks and cross border issues with using these tools.

[naive violet]

There's no danger of those tools. You could do the same thing, it'd just take you a while

Don't internet expose stuff that shouldn't be internet exposed
Don't buy cheap nasty internet of things devices

[chilly veldt]

actually, students gets the same as normal membership, but for free
https://help.shodan.io/the-basics/academic-upgrade

actually, they get access to vuln search, mb

[unkempt berry]

i mean there is form of dangers because there is public data out there. But there is no like specfic legislation linked to these tools. Sure you have like cma legislation and other acts and all but there very limited to the use of these tools

[sick lance]

I get to keep my Uni email too.

[chilly veldt]

I don't need the vuln tag, but got shodan for $1

[naive violet]

It just draws attention to security problems like stuff being internet facing when it shouldn't

[sick lance]

I hate AI.

I hate coding in Python for AI.

70 MPH.

I was doing 50 MPH.

The speed limit for that road was 60.

Ford Focus.

[violet condor]

Those are sweet

[sick lance]

It was the titanuim model 😦

I had all the extras.

[violet condor]

So what bones were broken?

[sick lance]

Amaizngly, even though I was trapped in the car, and had to be cut out.

I suffered cuts and bruises.

My passengers, were not so lucky.

And the driver of the other vehicle broke his spine.

[violet condor]

Holy

Was the nurse nice

[sick lance]

I have no idea, the full day is a blur.

That is not suitable for this environment,

[violet condor]

Man I’m sorry I forgot 😂

I remember one time my uncle ran over his own dog

[cosmic pendant]

Are you okay?

[sick lance]

Thankfully yeah, now.

It was years ago.

[stoic quarry]

Good to hear you're okay now

You should get a dirtbike if you’re still interested in riding it might not be as safe but they are pretty sweet

[slow cloud]

why is chatgpt so dumb at css, is it because it cant visualize it?

[stoic quarry]

I haven't read up on it yet but I saw a few things swirling around about it

It's not directory traversal is it?

[near sapphire]

nah its literally a header

[stoic quarry]

😐

Good stuff team

[cosmic pendant]

Do you think computers can?

[stoic quarry]

If you ask dalle to generate 'a room with no elephant in it' it will generate a room with an elephant in it

So... Yeah, don't think it's good at visualizing lol

but it should know how it works in theory, but then it gives me faulty code

[near sapphire]

my fav scene is where all of the budget went - ||toby's death||

"ssh"

[split ore]

ssh, movie is starting

[grizzled wing]

i learned yesterday that Primeagon has coffee company and you ssh into the company and order coffee that way or use the API

[stoic quarry]

SSH reference!!! 🫵 😵

[stoic quarry]

That's sick

[blissful current]

[stoic quarry]

Kinda lost my respect after the cursor stuff lmao

[grizzled wing]

"vibe coding" offended you?

[blissful current]

[stoic quarry]

Talking about how bad of a practice it is, then taking a sponsor for it and shilling out

[grizzled wing]

i had no details, just the overall knowledge of they did use cursor and was "vibe coding"

[blissful current]

aight imma head out , dinner time , cya'll in a while

[stoic quarry]

Cya

[grizzled wing]

enjoy

[stoic quarry]

Yeah it's weird, a few of their most recent vids are about how it's not really good practice, and how LLMs aren't the best at massive programs... Then there's a series on using cursor and saying how good it is

Just an odd one

[grizzled wing]

i did see the 1 video where Primeagon went on about using AI to code makes you dumber and should not be a thing to lean on. In fact John Hammond even mentioned that 'vibe coding' was frowned upon but now is okay? (john's latest video on Nextjs vuln)

[stoic quarry]

I have a feeling cursor is doing a lot more sponsored things. That's just speculation, but it does feel like a very sudden shift in influencer opinions after they started paying people

[abstract otter]

Did anybody see the new ranking system? It appeared once to me, then it just disappeared

[stoic quarry]

The different ranks?

[grizzled wing]

i do not use cursor so no personal opinions. but do use AI to help me, which is what the middle ground was all along, humans + AI = productivity, while others with greater coding capabilities seem to dislike AI

[abstract otter]

No this was like a really new thing, there where ranks like diamond, bronze silver

[stoic quarry]

Oh cool. Might be the leagues?

[abstract otter]

I think so

Im just really confused where it went

[stoic quarry]

Yeah I think using it for reference is fine. But just telling it to write everything will make you a worse programmer for sure

[stoic quarry]

Just checked, also disappeared lol. It mentioned completing two rooms before getting into a league

New features, yay

[grizzled wing]

it is sus for 1 week 'anti-AI rants' then now 'use cursor brand name AI'

[abstract otter]

Yeah, i have seen it too

Maybe staff will give us further context

[stoic quarry]

If they're getting sponsored I don't blame them. Just seems a bit hypocritical

[grizzled wing]

money can change opinions. i just expected the views to be a bit more harder to break. anyway, their choice

[plain tartan]

If I had a rank... I would be wood

Not even a class of metal or gem

[stoic quarry]

Wood is pretty versatile tho

Gotta use wood before you use metals

At least in Minecraft 😶‍🌫️

[plain tartan]

😄

[near sapphire]

john didnt want to do it but he saw low level and others do it so he thought thats its ok

[near sapphire]

not if you can find a village

[stoic quarry]

Influencers b influencing

[desert dirge]

each other

[stoic quarry]

And their audience, yeah

[grizzled wing]

he was surprised by it, he like the rest of us who were paying any attention was like okay, you don't like AI for coding. BUT now you do ?

[near sapphire]

where does the term vibe coding even come from

[grizzled wing]

sometimes Primeagon has some nice pieces of knowledge and perspective but i do not follow him. only influence he has on me is the Vim stuff, so i sometimes use Vim

[stoic quarry]

I don't think there's anything wrong with using an LLM for a quick reference or something small, but letting it write your entire codebase is wild.

And you're just killing your own worth as a programmer if you don't know what it's done, but you trust it without thinking

[grizzled wing]

it solves the blank page problem

[stoic quarry]

For sure

[grizzled wing]

i do agree the human should be the one who overall write the code

[leaden marsh]

I'm in the 6th in kuwait tryhackme

[stoic quarry]

Or at least understand it

[stoic quarry]

Nice!

[leaden marsh]

One day I will be 1st in whole world

Proprietary file structure that MS keeps private

From a quick google, don't know it myself

[grizzled wing]

ah ok

ask AI to explain it to you at grade 6 level

[queen flare]

hm, the idea isn't half bad

[grizzled wing]

it is good at explaining

[stoic quarry]

Mmhm

[quick plank]

quick question where did the rank system go?

[queen flare]

okay i figured it out
if anyone's interested, ole2 is the technology you use to link files of different types in ms word documents
so if you wanna include a pdf, a video, an image, a ppt all in a word file for example, ole2 is the technology that allows you to do that

and when you hear the term ole2 file, it actually means files that use the aforementioned technology

[naive violet]

Huh?

[stoic quarry]

I think a few of us just saw it for a moment, it's gone now lol

but if that's the case, how do we get a legitimate flag, when we download the flag.txt

[languid torrent]

thx , but i thinks for my lvl i dont need to start league ...

[queen flare]

why not
it is for everyone on the platform and a good way to gamify your learning

[languid torrent]

its like lesson or its attackbox ?

[main tiger]

think its removed now though I did see it in the drop down menu

[queen flare]

its been coming and going

[grizzled wing]

tryhackme.com/leagues returns 404

[mossy river]

Probably slow rollout

[dense minnow]

how do i pipe an output of one command to another command? I am trying to do this : grep hash1.txt | python3 hash-id.py

[main tiger]

bit of a silly idea with league if it grants points for flags that are out there in the open internet.

[grizzled wing]

ok

[languid torrent]

u have reward whe u are first ?

[main tiger]

unless its for recent rooms with no walkthroughs

[jovial cobalt]

is there any yt or free resource to master nmap ? in thm some rooms are premium

[grizzled wing]

nmap documentation

[queen flare]

| pipes the output of the first command to the next command
what are you trying to do here?

[coral storm]

whats try hack me leagues

why does it show not found

[queen flare]

@coral storm

[dense minnow]

I am trying to get the hash from the hash1.txt file to the second command which is python3 hash-id.py to identify the hash. All in one sentence

[queen flare]

you should probably echo instead of grepping then

[coral storm]

it shows not found

[queen flare]

can you do cat hash1.txt and show me how it looks

[boreal scarab]

like your chest

[grizzled wing]

your code is asking to grep a file hash1.txt but not what to find , then you pipe to a python command which conflicts with grep

grep -i hash hash1.txt
