Anyway, all I wanted to ask was where iOS stores data about photo editing? When you can reverse the changes? And if sharing those images allows the recipient to do the same? I’m guessing it’s stored locally?

[sand trench]

soon shadow will switch to it if the friends financial problems are not to great

[round orbit]

I added a filter to a video 9 months ago, and I can still revert the video back to normal

[sand trench]

for now it is calyx os on a fairphone 5

[sand trench]

now that is a complex topic as apple hides direct file access for nearly all apps even including the camera apps

[sick lance]

Images can be stored locally, when you edit a pic and send it, the receiver can't undo it.

[loud marlin]

that's the point of video edit. 🙂 if there is no original sample... will be quite hard to back it

[rugged halo]

Heyy, I wanna ask how can I start my cybersecurity career, like you can assume I have 0 knowledge, and ik many of you will provide me a pre security path, ik it's great but only some of it's paths are free, and till I haven't reached a certain level (like committed to do it) i don't think spending money would be worth it, so if you have any resources, can you please provide me

[dark frost]

The original data are stored in the file itself , and edit just add something to it

[sick lance]

50% of THM content is free.

[round orbit]

Wouldn’t that be true if you sent the file to someone it would be reversible?

[dark frost]

Depend the type of edit

[sand trench]

sounds like the cause to acropalypse bug

[loud marlin]

video is not like photos. not like adding layer that you can remove. when add things is saved as "new" video in one file

[round orbit]

Are you just making shit up 🤣

[dark frost]

Some edit are not reversible

[round orbit]

All edit’s you make in iOS are reversible

[sick lance]

Not when you send it.

After it's sent, that's it.

The changes are stored on your handset locally.

[rapid merlin]

But I mean you can take your world of warcraft subscription and put it instead onto thm

[rugged halo]

But let's say I follow pre security path, in the second second section of networking, only 1 out of 5 module is free and it's very basic, so I feel if I'm not reading all 5, i may be lacking, how to fix that then

[loud marlin]

if keep local. might be yea. when send. all data are saved and not send someone

[sick lance]

You can learn elsewhere.

[dark frost]

Sending the file can also alter the video sent , for example in Whatsapp the videos are compressed

[round orbit]

That’s good

[rugged halo]

This

[silver sky]

By going to either of those websites

[loud marlin]

exactly with taht question on google

[polar spoke]

I would NOT trust that the video is being altered in an unrecoverable way without more knowledge of the process involved

Acropalypse proved that you can’t assume you understand what is happening to files like that

Without verifying

[sand trench]

mmmmmm cappuccino

[round orbit]

Save as new is sufficient enough

[polar spoke]

I mean, you’d hope

[round orbit]

Because there’s nothing to go back to

[high mulch]

it is stored into a different folder from the original iirc.

[polar spoke]

If you’re familiar with acropalypse, this was not always sufficient

[loud marlin]

if you have original file and file that you edit. there is might way to revert 2nd vid to match original. but that has no point to do

so original file to new file can't go back if there is no original to compare

[dark frost]

aCropalypse (CVE-2023-21036) was a vulnerability in Markup, a screenshot editing tool introduced in Google Pixel phones with the release of Android Pie. The vulnerability, discovered in 2023 by security researchers Simon Aarons and David Buchanan, allows an attacker to view an uncropped and unaltered version of a screenshot. Following aCropalypse's discovery, a similar zero-day[1] vulnerability was also discovered,

[polar spoke]

And many filters on videos or pictures are completely reversible with only the resulting file

[loud marlin]

true yea. jsut compare if wish to revert to original but not knowing how orginal looks like... idk if i explain it right...

edited video can't know how original looks alike. might some effect are on original that looks edited on edited video. and there is no way to tell what is what... i guess

[dark frost]

They might be some local file that help recover changes made

[round orbit]

Nowadays I leave my photos and videos on my iPhone, I don’t sync them to Windows. Thankfully mobile phones never get vulnerable either (sarcasm)

[amber inlet]

Pretty sure this is a feature for new apple devices. If you crop an image, but don’t edit it in any other way, it can be uncropped

So it certainly works locally on Apple devices

[round orbit]

Yes it's a feature

[polar spoke]

Which is exactly what 0jay said

[round orbit]

But what you can't do is uncrop photos that were cropped by others

[polar spoke]

No, not unless they are made by a vulnerable app

[round orbit]

You can also edit and crop and revert, not just crop. It doesn't matter as to what edits you make - I do it all the time

[polar spoke]

But that has happened and continues to happen unfortunately

[crystal mauve]

I think this response was spot on. And I agree the way it was handled was rude and you didn’t deserve to be spoken to like that. Hope you come back n let it go, power gets to people’s heads no matter how insignificant it is.

[round orbit]

Why what does the vulnerable app do to the file data?

[blissful snow]

just making sure i know whats going on i came late
if i screenshot a cropped image you can uncrop it

opps

if i crop a screenshot

[polar spoke]

Fail to remove it correctly from the final image data

[amber inlet]

I have seen it done but it could have been a click-bait/edited video

[polar spoke]

That’s what the Acropalypse vulnerability was about

It was a major app, and then a ton of other related apps that failed to crop correctly

And anyone could recover the data for the rest of the image file

[polar spoke]

See here for easy tooling to do this on some of those files

An opinion on a wrong account by yourself?

Sure.

[hazy flume]

scrubz?

[sick lance]

Yes?

[crystal mauve]

A wrong account ?

[hazy flume]

you didnt respond last time i showed you my new development

[crystal mauve]

Not following u scrubs

[hazy flume]

why

[sick lance]

Scrubz*

[sick lance]

You didn't show me anything, you just told me about it.

There was nothing to provide any sort of feedback from.

[hazy flume]

oh

i wanted to ask you how to improve it as well

[crystal mauve]

Scrubs got autocorrected by my iPhone

[hazy flume]

can we talk about it

[sick lance]

In the advance channels, sure.

[hazy flume]

where is it

it gives me link to the internet

is it on this discord

[sick lance]

The link informs you on the advanced channels.

[hazy flume]

i take it as a compliment scrubz

you said im advanced

[crystal mauve]

I’m not gonna point fingers , I hardly even see the mod

[outer rivet]

@fervent meteor stop sending gif

[sick lance]

It's more the topic.

[sick lance]

Ah, you're talking about juun.

[crystal mauve]

No I don’t think it was Juun

[hazy flume]

where do i see my level

it says need to be level 13 for the advanced rooms

[sick lance]

Next your name.

[crystal mauve]

U were there tho

[sick lance]

As was juun.

[crystal mauve]

That’s why I was surprised u didn’t think anything of it

[sick lance]

I addressed it with the user, the user stopped, juun also addressed it, and it's not my place to tell a mod, how they should moderate.

[devout palm]

What happened? I wondered.

[hazy flume]

so where can i ask questions not related to rooms if i am not level 13 yet

[sick lance]

Depending on the topic, usually here.

As yours is an advanced topic, not here. 🙂

[crystal mauve]

Yeah but obv the feelings got hurt so why not just clear the air, sudo raises the quality of interactions here big time

[sick lance]

If there was feelings hurt, and if the Sudo didn't feel appropriate action was taken, there is a way to escalate it.

This, is in accordance to our community rules.

[crystal mauve]

Even if you didn’t mean anything by it , you might an undesired effect at times. I think the hard shut down was over the top when someone like sudo is rarely if ever out of line

[modern fox]

helow

[crystal mauve]

Not u specifically , just in general, myself included

[sick lance]

Sudo left the chat before they started pinging and were told to stop.

As I said, there is a way for this to be escalated if need be.

[whole yew]

I don't know what to tell you. 🤷‍♂️

[sick lance]

But doing so, @crystal mauve has escalated this further, and brough the conversation to the server.

[crystal mauve]

It was already here

[sick lance]

Ok, it's put it back in to the spotlight.

[crystal mauve]

Yep needed to be addressed

[sick lance]

Should have been done in accordance to our community rules. 😄

[crystal mauve]

Isn’t that the same line tho that started the circus

[sick lance]

If you have a problem with a member of the moderation team or a moderation decision, please contact @Discord Admin.

[sand trench]

I don't have anymore to say about this, if you feel like you need to reach out to admin, please do so. 🙂

[crystal mauve]

Yeah let’s move on fair ? Killing this chat

[fiery imp]

Yo, anyone wanna get their THM profile roasted? Based on your stats

[opaque flax]

By chatgpt?

[fiery imp]

[valid breach]

Can you do me ?

[fiery imp]

what's your thm username? Vadim?

[valid breach]

AmFunny

Found it ?

[fiery imp]

there you go

Can't show the website link, it might be considered "promotional"

[sick lance]

It would not be considered, it would be.

[valid breach]

Wow, I feel attacked and at the same time it's brutally honest, good job

[fiery imp]

Gotcha, this time I made sure to be under guidelines

Welcome

[loud marlin]

@polar spoke any chance that you know smth about wxWidgets+Nvidia ?

[digital trellis]

hi i just had a quick question and if someone could just answer it real quick.

So i finished the html injection room and i dont really understand fully how using the link in the input box does anything. Like what is the site actually doing at that point. I checked google and didn’t really get much, maybe i didn’t read thoroughly ? thanks

[cloud quiver]

You were able to inject malicious link that you control on the website . That's something that isn't supposed to be happening 🙂

[hallow phoenix]

since i am new to this field i have a prior experience in programming in C/C++
does that gonna help me add CS to my skills list ?
and btw how hacking really is ? i dont think hacking is like cool as i see in movies , right ?
would i get job if i dont have a certificate from a uni but have experience in CS ?

[digital trellis]

hmm, wdym control. like i thought it just directed to the malicious site

[cloud quiver]

Link that you want - that's not supposed to be on that website

[digital trellis]

okay yes, but what does that site actually do to the target site

[cloud quiver]

Vulnerable site doesn't sanitize our input . Ideally it should sanitize it - make it just an oridnary text . It doesn't do so in this case , it interprets it as an actual HTML 🙂 .

[polar spoke]

Nope

[loud marlin]

frack lol

making .AppImage for linux sux =/

[digital trellis]

yes i understand what to do and why it’s bad and vulnerable. But how are the two sites interacting with each other? Like if you drop the malicious link in the user input box. Does the website get bad files dropped on it? (if the attacker site was a dropper). or if it’s an info stealer, how does it actually do anything in that input box.

[cloud quiver]

No , it gets your malicious link injected in its source this way . Although this type of vulnerability can be rarely seen in the wild nowadays

[digital trellis]

does it overwrite the vulnerable site then?

[cloud quiver]

Yeah it does interfere with the actual source of the vulnerable app but again this is very rare occurance in this context .

[round orbit]

Hello all

[digital trellis]

how does it specifically interfere then?

[round orbit]

Have you guys ever used the tool 'EvilGinx'

[cloud quiver]

It gets injected in the actual source

[eternal timber]

You’re looking green

[opaque flax]

I’ve always been green

[sand trench]

why is finding a good generic sounding .com domain name so hard D:

[opaque flax]

The .com bubble

[topaz skiff]

speaking of the .com bubble, hey uh, how goes that quarter trillion sloshing around entirely unprofitable ai companies

i'm sure that's not liable to collapse

[sand trench]

yeah but shadow thought that bubble went POP

[sand trench]

well open AI is pissed someone is stealing their data when they themselves stole a lot of data

the irony of it is kinda funny

[topaz skiff]

openai, the closed source and private ai company, famously mad at open source models

great name, perfect choice really

[sand trench]

yeah it is such a meeping rude way to try and reconstruct what the word open means

eeeeey shadow found a domain that they can use

that sounds generic and works

[round orbit]

Why does shadow talk in 3rd person

[sand trench]

not the shortest but oh well

[sand trench]

old habit that never died

[topaz skiff]

there's a lot of tech companies that like branding themselves as open and inclusive, but that trend is rapidly diminishing, so a lot of them don't really care to pretend anymore

cough google cough

[sand trench]

cough firefox cough

[topaz skiff]

for as bad as mozilla has handled things, i still vastly prefer them as an organization over google :P what a massive fall from grace, lmao

[sand trench]

same.. still prefer firefox over anything chromium based

[round orbit]

It’s for PR. You’d probably do the same lol

[topaz skiff]

weirdly microsoft has been like, genuinely open and funding really cool standards and projects? 2005 me would have been SHOCKED

[sand trench]

but that does not mean that mozilla have not caused plenty of stupid decissions

[round orbit]

Microsoft products are good

I liked the Microsoft Ignite event last year

[sand trench]

eeeh would argue that most of microsofts products are not good just that they got the budget to market it and make people use it from young ages

essentially making them the defacto standard

[topaz skiff]

i don't care much for the microsoft products, but i like the open source initiatives

[magic tundra]

Name one good microsoft product

[round orbit]

Microsoft Purview

Microsoft Entra ID

[sand trench]

github

[topaz skiff]

WSL rocks, VSCode is pretty rad, .NET being actually open is cool, and they've done a ton of contributions to big open source projects, including linux

[round orbit]

Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Power BI

[sand trench]

nothing beats github

[topaz skiff]

you can take the office suite out back and shoot it though, lmao

[round orbit]

What chimney pipe are you smoking

Nothing comes close to Microsoft 365

[magic tundra]

[topaz skiff]

jokes on you your disgust only encourages me

[sand trench]

yeah microsoft is the parent org/company for github for quite a few years by now

[round orbit]

Because you can’t gather yourself to admit that Word is so much more powerful?

[sand trench]

technically could also have said minecraft

[round orbit]

Excel blows Google Sheets and libre office out of the damn waters

[round orbit]

I don’t mean this in a horrible way but honestly in IT on of the most unattractive traits is someone who doesn’t like to see change or can’t cope with it, like that fake laugh that you do when some old fart keeps making the crappy joke of not wanting to move ahead with times “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”

[sand trench]

On June 4, 2018, Microsoft announced its intent to acquire GitHub for US$7.5 billion (~$8.65 billion in 2022). The deal closed on October 26, 2018.[41] GitHub continued to operate independently as a community, platform and business.[42] Under Microsoft, the service was led by Xamarin's Nat Friedman, reporting to Scott Guthrie, executive vice president of Microsoft Cloud and AI. Nat Friedman resigned November 3, 2021; he was replaced by Thomas Dohmke.[43]

[topaz skiff]

it's funny that this is being applied and stated in the defense of Microsoft Word of all things

[round orbit]

All of their products

Most businesses use Microsoft, there’s a reason for it, they’re good

[topaz skiff]

free and open alternatives have fit all of my use cases, in every company i've worked for and documents i've had to work on, so i think i'm good

[sand trench]

by that logic android is better then iphone as more people use android :P

[leaden marsh]

Deal with u

[sand trench]

???

[leaden marsh]

Iphone is fast drain by the battery

i like you

it's good to be passionate

[leaden marsh]

[leaden marsh]

Not

I love asus and microsoft and andrios

[round orbit]

I switched to an E5 license in my personal tenant, costs me like £50 a month

To get all the extra features from it xD

[round orbit]

You realise the battery drain is mostly caused from the chip?

It’s also why they get quite hot

[leaden marsh]

I realised now

[round orbit]

That’s what I meant

In my comment

They drain fast because they’re so fast, which is a good and bad thing

If Steve Jobs was around I’m sure it wouldn’t be a problem anymore

[leaden marsh]

Okay here the question why andriod faster and not have heating in just in the camera but in applications and browsing not heating did you realise,

[modern fox]

arrives

[leaden marsh]

Why?

[round orbit]

I’ve not owned an Android since around 2010

[topaz skiff]

i've got mad respect for steve wozniak, but i kind of just view steve jobs as weird and eccentric

[round orbit]

What about Greg

[leaden marsh]

I have s24 ultra

[leaden marsh]

What u mean by this?

[topaz skiff]

definitely left a mark on corporate culture and stereotypical "tech ceo", so much media has a jobs stand in rocking a turtleneck, lmao

[round orbit]

Do you like Craig Federighi

He’s funny

Steve always wore trainers too

A real idol

[round orbit]

You have to consider the tech too, when comparing phones you can’t just look at the hardware

Imagine if Apple and Android manufacturers shared hardware and let you decide which OS you wanted before shipping, phones would be so much better

[hidden carbon]

Hello

[topaz topaz]

Hello Blitz 🙂

[stoic quarry]

Hello

[hidden carbon]

Do you think starting at like 14 and practicing cyber security and all that would make it a lot easier when trying to get a cyber security job?

Because my teacher recommended it

[stoic quarry]

If you have foundational knowledge early on yeah

[topaz topaz]

14 is a great age to learn things, but maybe focus on the inner workings of a computer first. Learn some core concepts of networking, operating systems, things like that

[hidden carbon]

What would be a good way to start doing that?

[topaz topaz]

I think you can hit many birds with one stone by using https://linuxjourney.com/

[topaz skiff]

those poor birds

[topaz topaz]

This website teaches you how to use linux but it also has some amazing modules about learning other concepts, such as networking and the such

100% recommended, it's not gonna cover everything but it can be a starting point

[topaz topaz]

Don't feel sympathy for them, they're all placed by the government. They watch me sleep. No peace whatsoever

[hidden carbon]

Yea do you think if I use like virtual box or VMware and get the concept of Linux at all would that help a lot?

[topaz topaz]

Yes, I'd definitely recommend having a virtual machine at hand WHILE using linuxjourney.

[topaz skiff]

there was an art installation a buddy of mine was going to who's theme was "birds aren't real", and i'm so jealous of them

[stoic quarry]

If you can mess around with it without destroying your computer, yeah 100%

VirtualBox that and install something simple like Ubuntu, or whatever Linux Journey recommends to follow along

[topaz topaz]

I wonder how people can think that, I've literally eaten many kinds of birds and I can vouch that they don't taste like wires, not the wires I eat at least 😭

[topaz skiff]

i remember being a teen and running linux in a vm with a ridiculous 3d desktop mode of a spinny wobbly cube, showing off to all my friends

leet h4x0r

[stoic quarry]

I remember that

Omg

What was that

[topaz topaz]

holy crap you brought back memories of me downloading some shady crappy 3D desktop program on Windows 7 on the family computer

[topaz skiff]

:D

[hidden carbon]

Do you need a degree for cyber security?

[topaz topaz]

and all the shortcuts were physics based little cubes

[topaz topaz]

To learn? No definitely not, you're in a platform that takes beginners and turns them into something

Tryhackme does precisely that, no degree needed

[stoic quarry]

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/t106jv/the_desktopcube_extension_for_gnome_shell_just

we shalln't talk about the rest of what i was up to as a teen... i hope no one finds my old gaia online

[hidden carbon]

is there anymore websites that are like try hack me?

[topaz skiff]

my myspace was hella cool though, it was babylon 5 themed

[topaz topaz]

The worst thing I did as a teen was ding dong ditching with friends, can't imagine what yall were doing lol

hackthebox, overthewire

[stoic quarry]

Oh

[topaz topaz]

yoinking this as I didn't have it on my list 😎

Next time we get this question we'll answer the same 3 things once again

[stoic quarry]

CTFs for high-schoolers I think

[hidden carbon]

how long did it take for you guys to get like jobs for cyber security

[stoic quarry]

We gotta start compiling longer lists every time

[stoic quarry]

I was 20, it depends how you go about it

[topaz topaz]

I'm in the I.T. field but not in CS

[hidden carbon]

I wanna be practicing with tryhackme and all that but idk how long I don’t wanna spend all my time on it

[hidden carbon]

A lot of people in my area are apart of I.T.

[topaz topaz]

If it's something you're passionate about, go for it. Consistency is key

[hidden carbon]

Your right

[topaz skiff]

my first job was writing libraries for some xbox applications dealing with auth and video streaming.. :D that's a weird one, but i got to call myself an xbox developer

even if my major contribution was making it so ads would play when you were trying to watch game of thrones

that's kind of like cybersecurity

[hidden carbon]

also like the reading part of tryhackme is really hard for me cus I have a big problem reading is there like a text to speeech thing?

[topaz topaz]

You're responsible for the ads playing on my game of thrones sessions on xbox?

Oh boy you're going on the list now !

[topaz skiff]

a lot of rooms on tryhackme feature video walkthroughs and overviews that are pretty well constructed

[topaz topaz]

You could probably get a web extension for that?

Just highlight the text and have an extension read it out for ya I suppose

[topaz skiff]

hell yea, i made ads work for the cartoon network and adult swim xbox 360 apps, you're welcome!

[stoic quarry]

Dayum

Fun

[topaz topaz]

I feel like I'm holding up a cross against a vampire by doing this

[topaz skiff]

i mostly mentioned game of thrones because that was our internal test stream, for some reason... i think the other devs were absolutely sick of big buck bunny

[sweet hedge]

[topaz topaz]

[sweet hedge]

Idk

[mossy river]

the second I saw big I was sitting there waiting

[topaz topaz]

I wanted to say "You know what else is massive" but I was scared the devs wouldnt catch it

[fleet pivot]

You gotta be specific

[topaz topaz]

[stoic quarry]

'Oh why did TryHackMe get shut down?'

'They taught people how to break the law'

What

[fleet pivot]

Sounds like an african word

[hallow phoenix]

hello guys
i wanna ask about something might be only exist in my imagination
is there an attack can be happened without user permission
like there are phishing links that need user's input of data
but can be there an attack that doesn't need user's input ?

[topaz topaz]

Tryhackme latest room : Fiendish Deeds Basics

[stoic quarry]

Yeah

[topaz topaz]

It's happened before

[topaz skiff]

reading that is kind of hurting my english processing

[hallow phoenix]

i am not a native english speaker sorry for that

[stoic quarry]

If a website admin's portal credentials are admin:admin then no legitimate user needs to input anything

[topaz skiff]

you're good!

[topaz topaz]

There was also that iOS vulnerability where an attacker could attack your device via SMS even if you never actually saw/opened it?

[hidden carbon]

is there a way to get more information from someone with just there phone number I wanna test it out in my friend

[hallow phoenix]

wow

[hidden carbon]

Yea I heard of that it’s weird how that would work

[stoic quarry]

Yeah, I think that was Pegasus right?

[loud marlin]

testing in any kind, if not have permission is illegal

[stoic quarry]

Or Pegasus used it

[topaz topaz]

Now that you mention it yeah I think that's the one?

[hidden carbon]

I’m testing with one of my friend

[topaz topaz]

There's some OSINT rooms on tryhackme but I don't think anyone would help with that here due to the questionable nature, might be wrong though

[loud marlin]

and how we can be sure in that ?

[hidden carbon]

the source

Trust me bro

[loud marlin]

yeeeaaa... not

[topaz topaz]

[topaz skiff]

hey, gonna swing out to the local kfc/taco bell, and of you fine folks want something. they've got doritos tacos.

[hidden carbon]

I’m playin I’m lwk bored rn

[topaz topaz]

chimsburgr

[hallow phoenix]

on first glance i thought OSNIT was a tool but it was more of an algorithm that you manually do to get information

[stoic quarry]

iirc it was how iMessage handled links or something. Maybe images?

[hidden carbon]

I want taco

[stoic quarry]

Anything vegan?

[hidden carbon]

?

[topaz skiff]

OSINT, also known as "google it"

[stoic quarry]

Google Dorking

[loud marlin]

testing any device that you do not own is illegal if not have legal paperwork

[topaz topaz]

tools can help with OSINT but OSINT isn't a tool

[topaz skiff]

what did you call me?!

[hidden carbon]

oh

[magic tundra]

Bruh

[stoic quarry]

Affectionately 🫡

[hallow phoenix]

yeah that what i said i thought before knowing what OSNIT is

[hidden carbon]

bro whoever said that Is fucked

you saw it tho

you saw csam gng

[loud marlin]

permission is must if device is not you own. not a word of trust

[hidden carbon]

dude

[topaz skiff]

alright time for tacos, AWAY! 🌮

[stoic quarry]

glhf

[opaque flax]

Wtf

[hidden carbon]

dude bro should be banned

[topaz topaz]

You gotta put that in your head and keep it there, don't ever "test" devices even if you have been given verbal approval, if it's not on paper

[hidden carbon]

you right

[stoic quarry]

If ya don't have evidence that can hold up in court, don't do it xoxo

[loud marlin]

you can get in big trouble if you doing smth taht you have no permission

[topaz topaz]

At my job I once had to move data from an old PC at the airport to another, I have tools to reset passwords on older Windows machines, and I was asked to do it over the phone by the person who paid me for the job, I insisted on NOT doing it until I had written approval for this

[stoic quarry]

Nice

[topaz topaz]

If you go ahead and do it with approval over the phone/verbally, you can very easily be accused of breaking into a system without authorization

Especially when it's government property such as in airports

[stoic quarry]

Hope you weren't reprimanded for it

[mossy river]

Yess?

[topaz topaz]

Noo not at all, My employer knew the situation full well and agreed, if anything went wrong he'd be the one getting the stick not me

[hidden carbon]

this might be a dumb question but what if someone uses like tge knowledge they got from thewebsite and hacked other people cant the owner of the website be responsible for what they did cus i read stuff abt that being true or wtv

[stoic quarry]

Good stuff. If it's an urgent issue you still gotta get proper approval

[mossy river]

@exotic path ? why did you feel the need to post any of that here?

[topaz topaz]

When you learn martial arts, does your teacher get in trouble for teaching you the moves if you go around hitting people in the face?

[hidden carbon]

thats true

ok guys ima speed run tryhackme🔥

[stoic quarry]

One of the first things I learned while doing martial arts was to only do things in self defence, same with how like... every red team room starts with 'Only do this if you have approval'

[topaz topaz]

You gotta understand, even if you learn cybersecurity, you might think you can sneak a few malicious or unethical breaches here and there, but you gotta know it's much easier to get caught than you think

You're way too young, don't start your career by being a criminal before you even turn 18

[stoic quarry]

Make more money working on the good side than you do in prison for getting caught in an FBI honeypot

[topaz topaz]

Exactly, hell you might be good enough to breach something at 15-16 years old , you end up doing it, you get caught, and you may not even face the full consequences but you damn well know you're not gonna be getting any jobs anywhere in the field when your record states you've been messing with people's private information

[stoic quarry]

Or get a job with a government that, again, makes you work under legal and ethical guidelines

But more likely than not get some court order to never touch computers again

[topaz topaz]

Truth ^

[stoic quarry]

Thank you Chadwick Boseman true meme template (gender neutral version)

Have fun brushing your protein bar and eating your teeth ❤️

[hidden carbon]

i read sum abt a black hat a grey hat and a white hat i cant find a clear answer on it

[stoic quarry]

What did you read?

[hidden carbon]

hacking broken down

like more than just "they take infomation blah blah blah"

[stoic quarry]

It's just categories of hackers

[hidden carbon]

ohh ok

so im guessing like a black hat is like the ruthless one then?

[mossy river]

Not really
