[shut hawk]

It should tell you there

[wary geode]

is their rooms that cannot be done using external kali linux machine right ?

[sage bone]

I have switched from from THM to htb academy a long time ago. But I kinda got bored by it and couldn’t really focus on the seemingly endless pages of reading material anymore. I for some reason couldn’t focus on it and I kinda stopped even though I am really interested in the materials. I kinda wanted to do some practice stuff and htb was still a bit too difficult for me so I gave THM practice a try and had lots of fun. Are the THM practice rooms actually good compared to htb and should I go back to THM? What would be your advice to continue my learning journey? I have started about 3-4 years ago with THM, stopped tried some htb, switched to htb academy and stopped about 8 months ago.
Thanks a lot for any help in advance

[little bear]

i just know my level but i can't see exactly how many points i have

Hi there! I am pretty new to cybersecurity, but I've been able to finish some of the rooms already. I really enjoyed rooms and tasks that involved working with Wireshark. Anyone can recommend any rooms in which I could play with it more and learn more about the software and so on? Thanks! 🙏

[crude nebula]

i am not sure i am doing it correctly but i do rooms and i get no league in return 😦

is it just me=

?

[umbral bay]

Let me check for you.

[crude nebula]

it says X points

[inner bloom]

I like your avatar frame

[crude nebula]

is it that walkthroughs do not count?

@inner bloomthanks, i hate it but i mod a few discord servers and it makes it a bit more inconvenient for scammers to impersonate me and my team

when it moves, it isn't that bad 🙂

happy you like it

[umbral bay]

Do you mind completing one room today, we fixed an issue today regarding Leagues.

[crude nebula]

i don't 🙂 thank you

[serene ginkgo]

Hey wassup guys

[near sapphire]

continue typing @twin cipher

[jovial cobalt]

hey while i was trying to take annual sunscription even tho i typed correct info its showing invalid payment options did anyone know whats the issue?

[crystal mauve]

You’re out of money?

[sudden current]

Guys isn’t the first step to become anything in cybersecurity is to understand what network is in general ?

[crystal mauve]

Yea, understanding networking is important

[inner bloom]

If I subscribe to the annual plan, can I cancel midway if I’m no longer using THM for some reason?

[crystal mauve]

I don’t see that option reaper only renew

[dark mason]

Yes you can cancel

But you won't get your money back, you will have access to premium till your plan ends

[crystal mauve]

He means cancel halfway for a halfway discount 😮

[inner bloom]

Yeah

[crystal mauve]

Yeah nope, you’re locked in

[crude nebula]

@umbral baystill nothing

[inner bloom]

What’s your favorite line from Mr. Robot

[crude nebula]

buy 1 year, use half, support thm. I've been in the 60k points range since 2022, for the past 3 years i've used thm like 15 days, still paying the subscription to support them (studying with thm granted me the possibility to get a job and advance to my current CISO position)

[mellow wyvern]

guys is there somoene who got an obsidian directory with all the commands for each tools ? because i just saw a guy on youtube using obsidian to remember every command for every tool, he did it learning with tryhackme, but when i completed rooms i didnt think about it

[dark mason]

What's wrong with it? @inner bloom

[crude nebula]

@mellow wyvernobsidian directory?

[mellow wyvern]

you know the app obsidian for taking notes when pentesting

just for remember what you did

[crude nebula]

oh, i used to use cherry notes

[mellow wyvern]

okok

[crude nebula]

in times long lost when i was studying for OSCP

[mellow wyvern]

but did you take notes for every tools you've learned in thm ?

[crude nebula]

i think the best thing is to build your own

[mellow wyvern]

yeah but it means i have to redo 92 rooms

[crude nebula]

absolutely not 😄 not even close. I am a bad note taker

i take notes of things i use more than once, for the rest, the internet is my friend

start now, from now on, every important thing you do you can write it down

[mellow wyvern]

ohhhhhh wait i just find a github repo with that

theres all of the commands

[true urchin]

finally finished Cyber101 🙂

[crude nebula]

i highly doubt you'll ever find a "all of the command" repo

build your own is always better than having to rely solely on someone elses repo

Hello @carmine belfry I would like to ask why I didn't get my Hackfinity certification of completion?

[sick lance]

Yup, you can cancel, however you won't get a refund on remaining months

As it's an annual payment

[sick lance]

Is the 2025 edition been released?

[crude nebula]

9th

[mossy river]

Head to https://tryhackme.com/p/your-name-here, does it show under the "certificates" section?

[crude nebula]

lost one apparently, but to what? how many people are in bronze or in my same league?

[lunar flame]

im first

in the bronze league

[umbral bay]

Always 30 players max in a League.

[crude nebula]

so i guess there are many 30 players leagues in bronze

[true urchin]

The thing is it doesn't

[crude nebula]

oddddddd

[mossy river]

Did you earn the points while the compeition was active or afterwards?

[true urchin]

while it was active I was in a team and earned some points I dont think I earned some afterwards

[empty salmon]

Hi everyone, how are you? I'm receiving some anonymous messages from a fake Instagram account. Can I find out any information about the person behind this? A name or email?

[mossy river]

Did you answer the questions yourself or your team mates?

[sick wave]

Report them

[lunar flame]

Bro just send him a link

[devout palm]

You can block and report the user and move on.

[wary geode]

guys I have question can I connect an external kali linux machine to all rooms ?
for example some rooms have tasks in the attack the bos machine , how can these files be on my kali machine ?

[true urchin]

which ones? I answered atleast 3 task questions but not the placement etc ones so not the last ones

[empty salmon]

naa,I would really like to find out who it is

[sick lance]

Just block and ignore

[sick lance]

Without being unethical/illegal.

You won't.

[empty salmon]

got it

[mossy river]

You need to have answered questions that give you points, you don't get the certificate if you were in a team but didn't actually answer any questions for yourself

[true urchin]

Oh I now what you mean I didnt answer any of these but I answered the ones during the event :/

what do I do now

I swear I did some task but not these which are listed

[mossy river]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by you didn't answer any of those but you did answer ones during the event 😅

[flint vault]

Bro how many people participated in hackfinity?

[sick lance]

Wasn't there more than 4k teams?

There was around 29k people in the room.

432 pages of teams.

[flint vault]

So in the certificates when it gave scoreboard rank, is it individual or team?

Like

[blissful current]

teamwise i assume

[sick lance]

It would be team, I assume, as that's how the scoreboard was based on.

[flint vault]

Ohhh ok

[true urchin]

So basically in the battle there were forensics task etc. I did answer some of those but I didnt answer the ones on the screen shot I provided

[fiery imp]

TY

[sick lance]

Weekly leagues are a competition where you cna get promoted or demoted.

[blissful current]

ClashOfClans BUT ON TryHackMe

[flint vault]

Lol, good explanation i guess

[lapis haven]

It's saying complete 2 rooms to join

[sick lance]

Yeah, you need to complete two challenge rooms.

I think it's challenge.

#announcements message

[lapis haven]

Okay thank you

[flint vault]

So I need that premium for this league?

To join it?

[scenic steppe]

anyone in here done the SAL1? I'm just starting my reccomended learning and I'm curious how hard people fine the exam itselfs? and which areas I should focus on?

[blissful current]

i dont think so

but premium users will have more advantage

[flint vault]

Why?

[sick lance]

Why?

[blissful current]

More rooms and harder difficulty will give more points

[flint vault]

Oh i see

[fiery imp]

waddup scrubz

[true urchin]

@mossy river Is there anyway I could still get the Certificate

[sick lance]

Difficulty of rooms give the same amount of points.

you got your palm checked?

[sick lance]

On a regular basis.

[blissful current]

oh right i read wrong message ig

[sick lance]

The only advantage a subscription grants is access to subscription rooms.

[flint vault]

Is that some insider joke?

[blissful current]

yea

[flint vault]

Oh

[flint vault]

So you believe in horoscopes and stuff then 😂

[fiery imp]

[drowsy dust]

https://tenor.com/view/ronald-mcdonald-point-wink-gif-1122406417951465225

[tiny hazel]

[twin cipher]

because its industry recognised

[small mirage]

i have credits on Udemy i also use tryhackme

[opaque flax]

2 defensive certs at the exact same time

[sturdy pike]

can I take SAL1, CDSA, CPTS, OSCP at once?

[tiny hazel]

Yes

[twin cipher]

no

[tiny hazel]

its reccomended

[drowsy dust]

You should!

[sturdy pike]

like simultaneously?

[woeful cedar]

Tbh idk much about Udemy
What I recommend is:

portswinger, hacker101, pentesterlab, hackthebox, tryhackme, pwn.college

Best resources according to me

[drowsy dust]

We know how elite your knowledge is cookie. Do it that’s light work

[sturdy pike]

gotcha, any other certs I can go for?

[sturdy pike]

will do, any other certs that will complement the others?

[twin cipher]

CISSP

[opaque flax]

Pentest+

[woeful cedar]

OSCP

[small mirage]

Okay i will try those right now! Btw i don't really know where to start so i started with Kali just learning how it works and etc. have any recommendations what to do after that?

[woeful cedar]

OSED

😈😈

[drowsy dust]

Red Team Ops 1 and 2. Just for a lil spice

[woeful cedar]

Bash scripting, Linux shell, windows fundamental and AD, networking

[sturdy pike]

can I also go for CISA and the other ones available?

[twin cipher]

sure

[sturdy pike]

that's a day's work, can you suggest more?

[small mirage]

okay thank you

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @woeful cedar (current: #1121 - 4)

[sturdy pike]

any offsec certs for seasoning as well?

[opaque flax]

Osce

[drowsy dust]

Buy the 6 thousand dollar Offsec subscription and do all the certs 💀

[tiny hazel]

gotta get better at linux shell

[woeful cedar]

I have to get better at AD

[tiny hazel]

true x2

[sturdy pike]

I'm also thinking along the lines of OSWA, OSWE, OSEE etc. is that a good path?

[drowsy dust]

@tiny hazel just learn powershell

[sturdy pike]

that's a penny more than what I was expecting

[tiny hazel]

powershell is dumb

[opaque flax]

At the same time

[opaque flax]

I only use bash on my windows computer

[dark mason]

Absolutely not

[drowsy dust]

It’s universal. That and bash will make you thrive imo

[woeful cedar]

A true hacker codes in binary 😈😈😈

[sturdy pike]

ah yes yes, I'm trying to break a world record here, 17 certs are in the list, I'm currently looking at a $24k bill

are more suggested?

[sick lance]

You're allowed opinions, even if they're wrong.

[twin cipher]

CAPE

[tiny hazel]

ill give u a cert for 100 bucks

[sturdy pike]

Noted, any red hat ones?

[tiny hazel]

oh real?

[drowsy dust]

Bros gate keeping knowledge

[sturdy pike]

you'll make your own? aww, I'll buy a couple dozen

[tiny hazel]

im drawing the cert in paper rn

[twin cipher]

gotta respect the hustle

[sturdy pike]

I feel like doing everything there is

[sick lance]

PowerShell is op.

[tiny hazel]

@sturdy pike

[blissful current]

i'll be buying eJPT in 1-2 months

[sturdy pike]

sure thing, I'll do it, currently looking at a $42k bill

[drowsy dust]

Not my python being dragged into the abyss

[queen flare]

this is my friend rage quitting over tommorow's exam

[silver sky]

Hell yeah powershell gang

[dark mason]

I think the biggest mistake that people do when they try to get a job is getting 17 different certs for no reason, like, you get a cert that shows you know the basics, then you get 16 more that again... show that you know the basics

[sturdy pike]

I'll do the python cert too

[blissful current]

[sturdy pike]

I'll do all the programming certs

[tiny hazel]

my cert will make u expert on quantum hacking ffrrrfrfrf

[sturdy pike]

so currently looking at a $57k bill

[dark mason]

Are you a student?

[sturdy pike]

but what if I know everything and I'm confident that I can do it all

[sick lance]

Certifications don't prepare for life in an org.

[woeful cedar]

With all these certs, you can hack a person's brain using your fingers.

[sturdy pike]

gimme a quantum computer as well

[tiny hazel]

yes actually the cert (if u pass) comes with netrunner gear

[drowsy dust]

https://tenor.com/view/rubizrizoe-rubiz-zoe-lain-iwakura-gif-1991725492955132261

Lain moment

[tiny hazel]

its in ur brain when u pass cert

[tiny hazel]

LAIN MENTIONED RAAAH

[dark mason]

If you get certs that show different qualities, go for it, but if they cover the same stuff, don't, waste of money imo

[tiny hazel]

AND YOU DONT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND

[woeful cedar]

You become Mr Robot with all these certs

[sturdy pike]

ah yes yes, I remember, don't worry

[tiny hazel]

u can priv esc to mod in any server with hacking owners brain frfr

[blissful current]

[sturdy pike]

so I'm looking at a $78k bill after listing all my certs

[dark mason]

Never said that it will, I was talking about getting hired

[woeful cedar]

I wanna be Aiden Pearce from WD 😁😁

[sturdy pike]

yeah, I'll play ads in their brain all the time

[blissful current]

same

[tiny hazel]

love that

[mossy river]

Your logic is flawed, the owner of this server doesn't manage the mods 🤣

[tiny hazel]

no way the goat replied

[sturdy pike]

alright, I gotta purchase the certs and do them all tomorrow

[tiny hazel]

at the same time remember

or they wont work

[woeful cedar]

All in one day?

[dark mason]

@sturdy pike if I make a cert named "master hacker" for 100k will you take the exam?

[sturdy pike]

yeah lmao

[woeful cedar]

book obfuscation it is then

uh, you die when you're killed ahh book

[sturdy pike]

you don't understand the complexity of typing in this nature

[tiny hazel]

Yall didnt get that?

i understand enough to not pay 500k for this

[sturdy pike]

I've changed it to straight facts

but first

let me ask

do you have $500K to pay for this?

then I'll alter it to your demands

We don't* (correction: we do, we just don't give this info out), the API is only meant for internal uses which is why the documentation is not public

Don't say that, it ain't no regular day for you

The amount of birthdays you'll get where you'll be justified to celebrate them are finite, after a while the burdens no longer justify the celebration

So make sure to actually enjoy your special days when you get em

From branch to branch, from top to root
This little creature makes a loop
Now he's here, watch him there
This tiny drill-tooth is everywhere

Wrapping the story around his tail
Twisting the truth, hiding his secrets behind a veil of innocence
How can you tell foe from friend?
What is in your murky mind? Ratatosk!

How do I learn specific tools?

[sick lance]

Use them?

THM has a few rooms on specific tools.

[quiet pulsar]

Yeah that was kind of a stupid question

But like

Everyone here just learns from thm?

And that’s it?

[sand trench]

theres youtube, and htb to

you can build your own labs

etc

[blissful current]

[quiet pulsar]

Could never find anything that good on YouTube mostly just people telling me to Learn how to use Linux and code and learn tools but not how

[blissful current]

Smurf Account xD on THM too lol

[spice otter]

so look how on youtube hopw to use those tools and stuff, not "how to get into cyber security"

[blissful current]

[quiet pulsar]

I was once given a task by my teacher to try to access his website through an sql injection but mostly just people ranting on about what Sqlmap is and not actually how to use it

Most videos get taken down

Idk I could never really find anything interesting

[sick lance]

We can't assist with class projects.

[quiet pulsar]

It’s not a class project, it’s computing class and he knows I want to get into cybersecurity so gave me a challenge that’s all

And you guys have absolutely no proof of that so I can understand you not wanting to help

I respect it ngl

[sick lance]

However, there is more to SQL injection than Sqlmap.

[quiet pulsar]

Again I’m only a beginner and judging by my stupid questions you’ve probably already guessed 😭

Just a bit lost on how to actually learn stuff

I’ve tried to do some ctfs

After learning a few tools but it’s not easy

I’ve tried root me

[spice otter]

i know tryhackme has a room on sql

[quiet pulsar]

It’s fun

[spice otter]

im on the room rn lol

[quiet pulsar]

I’ll be honest I haven’t really tried out any of the rooms or had time to actually sit down and learn

[spice otter]

[spice otter]

whattt lol then how do you want to learn it

[quiet pulsar]

I’ve been needing to find time for the past year and unfortunately got into a spiral of how to get into cybersecurity videos

That get me nowhere

Well now that I have time I’m trying to learn

Schools difficult at the moment

[lost radish]

hello! i am a new user and am currently on the pre-security path. i took a quick scan over the cyber security 101 and seen that everything i learned so far (in pre-security) will be discussed again in cyber security 101 (more thoroughly this time, i suppose). the description of cyber security 101 also states it requires no prerequisites. currently, i am 30% into pre-security. can i just drop the pre-security path and begin cyber security 101? i feel like i can get into the more hands-on stuff quicker this way.

additional question: is there anything worthy in pre-security that is not discussed in cyber security 101?

If you wanna do pen anything... you gotta have the drive.. no $$$ involved real real.

[crystal mauve]

[static perch]

Well said

[normal fable]

It's because you gotta find a hole before you poke it?? or maybe find a poke before you hole it??

Diff is that you know what's vuln first.. you should research vulns on the real full time.

[crystal mauve]

You know who else can find that hole ?

and here I am now.. a lowly IT guy.. unemployed after 7 good years.. just doing IT guy stuff.... LOL

I only worked about 1.5 hrs.. and made about 300...

Reputation with your kin will get you a long way too...

#cyber-and-careers

good place..

learn Linux.. all I can say.. THM has a great path for that. Recommend 1000000%

The way I made money today is cuz my CTO friend needed Linux help.. that's it... all I did was do Linux server admin stuff..

when I say learn Linux... I mean... really learn.

learn sed.... LOL

I believe there is a room for that too...

And always always always... realize that you know nothing.. no matter how much you know.. That is your cyber-life... frfr

If I am the smartest man in the room.. I'm in the wrong room... siad someone sometime.

I'm currently in the wrong room btw... I need to get out.

not here... in my real life

omg that came off so wrong when I said it.. but what you know about squilly??? huh??

SQLi is a great entry point... but it's not as bae as BoF... or binexp...

that's def not advanced... chat... is it?

No.. I mean "Entry point" for maybe a shell...

or... more info... Squilly is amazing

Yes.. but it's mainly a point of more info or entry... priv esc from 0 to 1

or... over 1000 to less than sometimes...

Really depends.. it's a process yes... but you can SQLi yourself (sometimes) from 0 to 0day....

that one book leads to tons of info i havent seen thnks

[normal fable]

If you actually read Smashing The Stack.. it's an amazing piece of art.. the first real text explanation of buffer overflows, how to exploit memory... it's great. I love that piece.
It even tells you how to do your first if you never done.. it's awesome.

def not a hacker btw.. I just come here for the lulz...

heartbleed is a buffer overflow rite

oh no nvm

I haven't read up on heartbleed but I do remember it being talked about in def con 16...

istg they used if-else to fix it

if word == "strawberry":
return 3

It will be a hot fix, a patch because they're tired of people using it as an example to point out fundamental flaws in LLMs being used for tasks that aren't appropriate for LLMs

That's the two major virtualization platforms yes

Possibly HyperV but I can't say I'd recommend it

[slow cloud]

is qemu good on windows?

[pliant onyx]

WSL and Qemu are other options

However WSL is diff

[slow cloud]

ive heard its good on linux but i cant run linux

wsl is okay but not really for my purposes

[naive violet]

Try workstation

I found it better than VBox

ill try it, thanks James!

I think Musk was always that way, money and power had nothing to do with it.

[torn linden]

this pipe command not getting in my nerves | what does actually used for ? and how ?

[sick lance]

It redirects the output of one command, into another.

[viscid carbon]

Yo g’s

[knotty pendant]

[sick lance]

A great example would be

ip a | grep " tun"

[solar echo]

it separates stuff but puts them together simultaneously

[torn linden]

explain me like i'm 5y

[sick lance]

ip a | grep "tun"

ip a is taken in to account, | redirects the output of the command as an input for grep.

So the output would only be any tun interfaces on Linux that is running.

[slow cloud]

its really nice

[sick lance]

If you're 5?

echo "I love trains" | grep "trains"

Echo would print out the words, the | takes grep "trains" and looks for it on the output of "I love trains"

so it displays I love trains

You need new identity now

"high intelligence"? 😂

okay never mind. probably not the best topic for here, but that's my daily laugh

[split plover]

What's wrong 😭? Isn't he a genius?

That's not exactly explaining it to somebody who is 5 years old. 😄

[eternal locust]

lolol

[polar spoke]

depends on the 5yo

[sick lance]

Not one that asks us to explain it like they're 5 then. 😄

I'd rather have a biscuit tbh,

Writing a dissertation is boooooring.

[charred ivy]

Hi there, anyone here that can help me with some basic cryptography understanding? 🙂 probably easier to explain in dm

[sick lance]

You can explain it here. 🙂

That way, more people can join in, and chick3nman can confirm if they're right or not 😅

[polar spoke]

I have base64 and base32 strings that when I decode to text I am getting some ? as characters. I am wondering how to translate those characters to something human readable...

[polar spoke]

are they human readable?

[errant delta]

Hey people

what is up!!

[charred ivy]

not sure :/

[polar spoke]

there's nothing that says any particular byte or byte string must be printable or "human" friendly

[errant delta]

Can you send a screenshot if possible?

[polar spoke]

where did the base64/base32 strings come from?

[errant delta]

By the way, is there any channel that I can look for teams?

[charred ivy]

t�Чn�k��XYp�(FAf1��=�Z4W22L���*�Q8�t�w[�Z��\�

[polar spoke]

hmmm

looks a bit consistent

but that's because it's been interpretted already

what's the original base64?

[charred ivy]

hmm, to get it right, does base64 always end with == and base32 with ====?

[polar spoke]

no

= is the padding character, it's only used if the input is not a multiple of the encoding's input byte length

to pad out the last block

[errant delta]

Hey @polar spoke can I ask you a question on PM?

[polar spoke]

it may also simply not be used as well

[polar spoke]

sup

[charred ivy]

could this be the original base64? Rm5RZDZkQ25ic2hyeTRiNFdGa0FjQnJBS0VhUlFXYWFNZkhoUGJaYU5GY3lNb3hNQTdMNzdpcjlV
VGljbzNUQ2Qxc1AzUVJhOVlZZG1icGN6Zg==

[polar spoke]

i mean, it Could be, it certainly looks like base64

is that one large value?

[sick lance]

Where did you get the strings from?

[charred ivy]

yeah so it is basically a long string and what I did is: echo -n 'string' | base64

and that is the output

if I do the same but base64 -d I get that weird string wirth ?

[polar spoke]

🤔

[errant delta]

Is this the base64?

[charred ivy]

If I understand it correctly it should be base64 value from this string: FnQd6dCnbshry4b4WFkAcBrAKEaRQWaaMfHhPbZaNFcyMoxMA7L77ir9UTico3TCd1sP3QRa9YYdmbpczf

[polar spoke]

ahhh

alternate dictionary by default?

that'd be a bit weird

[errant delta]

If that is the base64 then the decoded base32 might be:

HJEA5I3CP23DPH76Q3IF4Q64D2N8PLK2OQ2E90KMHB1A98LEOB19LJ4GQ2GC9D62JI6CDSKQRRO9L0JEJ1N6TKN4EAL058QB3DSPL8GR465PL0CQHA9GJIMAPCHMM4S33F9J0

If everything is done correctly

Give me a minute please

[polar spoke]

nah
