general

[static acorn]

blahhhh. if im doing it, im doing it manually. thats the fun of arch

(which im not lol)

[rapid merlin]

yep

its more stable imo

[knotty valve]

I just slap on fedora and call it a day

[desert dirge]

Yeah, the archinstall script kind of annoys me too, but only because I can't be 100% sure what's going on

[knotty valve]

I can't be bothered having to manually go through a bunch of stuff or manually configure SEL

So I just throw fedora on it and it's secure by default

[static acorn]

maybe one day ill give arch a go in vm and try to install it manually.

could be fun

[desert dirge]

do it on a cheap laptop you bought at the thrift store

[knotty valve]

I've got arch running on a partition of my blackbox pc

[desert dirge]

Then donate it back to the thrift store with barebones arch on it, let somebody else have a nightmare

[static acorn]

why a cheap one? is there potential for damaging components if i install it wrong XD

[knotty valve]

But the main OS it's running is Fedora's security suite

[rapid merlin]

its not impossible

[static acorn]

i didnt think so lol

[knotty valve]

It's Linux, you have more access to lower systems than you do on windows

[blissful snow]

u good lol

[blissful snow]

why

[knotty valve]

Cause I did the funny at work: said it was a quiet day

And everything decided to break down

[blissful snow]

whats the funny

[static acorn]

the 'q' word

smh

[knotty valve]

Literally

[static acorn]

should have known

[knotty valve]

Oh I did know

That's why I said it

[blissful snow]

ohhh

[rapid merlin]

🤔

[knotty valve]

Ain't no way am I spending 4-5 hours doing basically nothing

[desert dirge]

I had my laptop with windows on it in storage for a little while.

Somebody picked the lock to my storage unit and stole my laptop. It had all my school stuff and passwords (I was dumber then)

Now every now and then I get login attempts on my emails from random computers all over the U.S. at least 2-3x/year.

Now I use linux, encrypt my files, and use keepass

[static acorn]

this i why we cant have nice things

[rapid merlin]

LOL

no password manager? all in notepad?!

😭

[knotty valve]

I don't use a password manager that often

[desert dirge]

YUPPPP!

[rapid merlin]

passwords.txt

[knotty valve]

I use it for all my mnemonic codes

[rapid merlin]

😭

[static acorn]

passwords.txt goes hard lmao

[knotty valve]

But everything else is stored in my brain or on a notepad in a safe

[desert dirge]

accounts.odt

[knotty valve]

Me when password lists

[static acorn]

usercontroll.ct

[desert dirge]

[static acorn]

[knotty valve]

And my giant list of millions of passwords merged into a single file because yes

[knotty valve]

[desert dirge]

oh god.

[knotty valve]

That's how I got domain admin in highschool lmao

[desert dirge]

all my secret poems to each of my 3 simultaneous crushes at the time

[rapid merlin]

"Hey guys back with another video heres all my passwords and my social security number"

[knotty valve]

Hacking? Nope!
Just installed a keylogger and mic recorder on my laptop and faked an issue in my laptop

[rapid merlin]

stop giving me ideas

[desert dirge]

Vine

[knotty valve]

I stole this idea from a friend

[static acorn]

not even. back in the day you could just use a free password recovery tool on a usb stick and recover all the passwords from every computer in the computer lab.

XD

[knotty valve]

What's hilarious about it though, is that you could see the recording icon on the screen

They didn't even think to kill the process or anything

[knotty valve]

Insane behaviour

[static acorn]

i never said i did it...

[knotty valve]

I don't need to do that at uni

[desert dirge]

When I was in high school, I listened in on a conversation one of the techie kids was having with my spanish teacher.

MF convinced me that people could blow up computers with a virus -_-

[static acorn]

[knotty valve]

Cause the lab PCs have the password written on the whiteboard 🤣

10/10 security

And the even funnier fact of this, is that the lab PCs all have admin

[static acorn]

i know

[knotty valve]

And there's no backing mainframe or Active Directory

[static acorn]

all admin accounts smh

[knotty valve]

So like, you could just pwn and own the PC and no one would know 🤣

Until net admins see unusual traffic

That's about the only giveaway

[knotty valve]

Yeeeeep

[static acorn]

compter security has changed so much over the years. very satisfying.

[knotty valve]

This is the same uni, that is using AES-128-CBC for their DB encryption and SSH encryption

The same encryption that's exploitable by XOR

[static acorn]

HOLY

giga chad IT

[desert dirge]

it team fed plants confirmed

[knotty valve]

Lmfao

[desert dirge]

only feds would go out of their way to sabotage encryption on public devices

[knotty valve]

I'm not a fed but....

I'd 100% do that

[desert dirge]

you're also not on the IT team lmao

[blissful snow]

same

[knotty valve]

Yeah I'm the student that makes the IT team cry

[static acorn]

all my passwords in etc/shadow are encrypted with base64 the elite encryption algorithm

[knotty valve]

ROT13

[blissful snow]

only use base64

[static acorn]

think about it. automated cracking software that are in for your passwords are looking for md5 hash

[knotty valve]

Nah base-65536 is the way

[static acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/tkt-smart-gif-20642718

[knotty valve]

Security through Obscurity

[static acorn]

lol

[knotty valve]

Time to make a password cracker that only cracks base-64

[desert dirge]

Still better than plaintext

[knotty valve]

Anything is better than plaintext

[static acorn]

bro im still laughing at rot13 lmao

XD

[knotty valve]

I should make a password manager that embeds my passwords into random files on my PC so only the algorithm can find it

[desert dirge]

I wrote my passwords in mspaint and saved as crush.jpg so they couldn't just cat my passwords

[knotty valve]

Amazing

[blissful snow]

lool

[static acorn]

i do the same tactic but then change the magic bytes to make it look like a docx file

XD

[desert dirge]

whatttttttttttttt

[knotty valve]

The only encryption without a NIST backdoor frfr

[desert dirge]

but you can still read as jpg tho right?

[static acorn]

paint doesnt recognize it as an image anymore

because the bytes say itt isnt

[knotty valve]

Paint won't but iirc the windows image viewer should be able to open it

[desert dirge]

so if you open in word, it will just show jibberish?

[static acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-happy-dog-dog-happiest-dog-super-happy-gif-17885812

[desert dirge]

strongarm the ish out of that obscurity

[desert dirge]

They didn't add 3m lines of code per year for nothing

[knotty valve]

The best way to secure your passwords:
Base-65536 -> base-64 -> image -> decode the colours in the image by hex -> hex to ASCII -> Reverse ROT13 -> plaintext

[static acorn]

^eye twitch^

[knotty valve]

Why? Just to waste someone's time in the most hilarious way possible

[mellow narwhal]

Use ROT26 instead, it's twice as strong as ROT13

[static acorn]

i cant imagine if i had to do that as like a ctf or somthing. i think id scream. id be in cyber chef for like 10 minutes

[knotty valve]

[knotty valve]

There's a CTF that I done that was similar to this

Which is where I got the idea from

[static acorn]

id crash out

[knotty valve]

HuntressCTF2024, challenge: base-p-

[mellow narwhal]

That's like a guesswork challenge

[static acorn]

id literally crash out mid challange and go watch bluey or somthing\

[knotty valve]

I'm friends with the author of the challenge, and when she saw my initial thoughts on what we were supposed to be doing

I should have the python file somewhere

This one should be it

It's so absolutely cursed

[static acorn]

[knotty valve]

One of the challs, I ended up building an entire telnet client in C++

Before scrapping it and moving to a python library

[static acorn]

WHA... WHY>.. LWHPIOHDPOH for whaty perpuous!!!!

THE WHAT

[mellow narwhal]

clever naming lol

[knotty valve]

I built it, it was mostly functional, and written in 20 minutes

Only issue it had was it had a memory leak

[mellow narwhal]

https://tenor.com/bQGIr.gif

That takes like 30 lines at max in Python 😭

[knotty valve]

Shhhhh

I know that

[static acorn]

this is giving my brain a memory leak

[knotty valve]

But throughout the CTF I was relying on instinct for half of it

So I shot open CLion and went at it for the most part

Before doing python towards the end

[mellow narwhal]

The fact that you wrote it instinctively in C++ speaks volumes

[static acorn]

ljbf;obf;eob ReAL

[knotty valve]

Almost all my work is in C++

[desert dirge]

undercover suckless engineer

[static acorn]

i have never written a single line of code in c++. you wont cash me outside wit that

[mellow narwhal]

cout << "Hello world";

[knotty valve]

I've written more in C++ than I have anything else

[mellow narwhal]

that's about as much as I know

[static acorn]

[knotty valve]

Where's std:: and std::endl; !!!

[mellow narwhal]

using namespace std;

there ya go

[knotty valve]

Bad practice lmao

But fair enough

[static acorn]

is thet like using a lib in C?

[fierce raven]

Hello everyone, I'm just starting out on TryHackMe!

[blissful current]

🦹‍♂️

[static acorn]

this looks like a foreign alien language

lol

[mellow narwhal]

standard namespace

[knotty valve]

#include <library/file.h> is what you use

[knotty valve]

Or import "library"; if you're using C++23

[desert dirge]

Hello! Remember to read the documentation, and take good notes as you go!

[mellow narwhal]

you can do that in C++?

[static acorn]

[knotty valve]

Latest standards yes

[static acorn]

this is why i wont touch C++

[knotty valve]

C++23 introduced it

[mellow narwhal]

damn its turning into python lol

[static acorn]

skill issue for me ig

[knotty valve]

Coroutines (basically state machines for Async code) is in C++20

[mellow narwhal]

does C++23 still require you to use malloc and free?

[static acorn]

ahoy me matey

[blissful snow]

The washers came dark gold but it was good

[knotty valve]

Not sure, don't believe the full standard is out yet

Or it could be but not all compilers support it

[mellow narwhal]

the day I touch C++ will be the day they add auto-memory management and garbage collection

[knotty valve]

I still roll C++17 and C++20

[mellow narwhal]

Although the only times I've used C are pwn challenges

Once I remember there was a malloc issue with evil-winrm

https://tenor.com/view/malloc-malevolent-shrine-jjk-c-programming-programming-gif-12658440357187984186

[knotty valve]

Don't think that'll be until at least another standard or two

[mellow narwhal]

this gif was made for it

[knotty valve]

Generally you don't to use malloc and free that often

[static acorn]

this is seg faulting my brain rn

[knotty valve]

They're moving to a more dynamic allocation mode

[static acorn]

bro i cant even memory manage my brain. what makes you think i can code low level

Verizon's subsidiary Yahoo willing to buy Chrome for 10bil is funny

[static acorn]

this sounds made up

lol

[desert dirge]

oh my god

[static acorn]

yeah i would double check your sources. i dont know how true any of that is

[knotty valve]

https://fixvx.com/Dexerto/status/1916177075536265435
Unsure if the price is right cause I can't confirm it atm

Dexerto (@[e-mail])

Google may be forced to sell the Chrome browser to break up what U.S. courts deem monopolistic practices

Yahoo is willing to pay over $10,000,000,000 dollars to buy Chrome if Google has to sell it https://t.co/ma5L9TpgVL

vxTwitter / fixvx · Apr 26, 2025, 5:06 PM

But Apollo/Verizon/Yahoo is on the list of people wanting to buy Chrome

OpenAI included

[static acorn]

a twitter post. bro all this guys posts are click bait

i would do some digging on that. idk about this guy

[knotty valve]

He estimated the deal would cost tens of billions of dollars, and said Yahoo would be able to secure that funding with the backing of its owner, Apollo Global Management.
https://www.theverge.com/policy/655975/yahoo-search-web-browser-prototype-google-trial-antitrust-chrome

Would need second confirmation on another site tho

[static acorn]

yeah, seems fishy. i would get some sources on that

would be REALLY weird if google sold Chrome to anyone lol

even for 10b

[knotty valve]

They'd be forced to

Cause it's up to the DOJ and not Google

[static acorn]

Googles browser appears in the DOJ antitrust remedies phase, where forcing a divestiture of Chrome is one possible remedy. not a done deal.

[knotty valve]

Sites Bloomberg, but Bloomberg ofc paywalled it

[knotty valve]

Still up to the DOJ if Chrome is to be sold or not

[static acorn]

again, i dont think its happening

[knotty valve]

Google could prematurely sell it before the case is closed

But it's up to the court if Google doesn't do anything

[knotty valve]

If it does, google doesn't have a choice but to sell

[rapid merlin]

Google has most resources, doubt they wouldn't do anything and loose their prime

[knotty valve]

I'm hoping that's the way the court goes

Cause it'd be hilarious imho

[knotty valve]

It's not up to google here, it's waiting on the DOJ to decide what's going to happen

[rapid merlin]

Would they loose Gemini too?

[knotty valve]

Gemini isn't Chrome

[rapid merlin]

ah that would be not so bad for google

[knotty valve]

Gemini is an LLM model running their own model architecture

[knotty valve]

It's still a massive hit since they'd lose their monopoly

[rapid merlin]

They did integrate gemini in Google searches?

[knotty valve]

Chrome is one of Google's primary products

GCP and Gemini following behind that

Neither of which is a monopoly

[rapid merlin]

Well idc coz I stopped using chrome long ago 😆 and google search engine

[knotty valve]

Tho GCP is debatable depending on how define the scope of a monopoly

But GCP being sold off would cause MASSIVE issues for everyone

[rapid merlin]

What's gcp

[knotty valve]

Only into search, afaik not the actual browser

[knotty valve]

Google Cloud Platform

[craggy wadi]

what is the argument exactly? because chrome points to google as its search engine?

[rapid merlin]

Ok that is surely a problem

[knotty valve]

Google's version of Azure and AWS

[rapid merlin]

Chome is not search engine

[craggy wadi]

not what i said

[knotty valve]

They held an illegal monopoly over search engines, and one of the remedies to it is the DOJ forcing Google to sell chrome

[rapid merlin]

nvm my brain not braining sorry

[knotty valve]

Cause yk, Chrome is one of their largest assets

So that just being yeeted to someone else without a choice is just indefinitely funny

[craggy wadi]

wonder if they could get around it by offering search engine choices upon install. instead of defaulting to google

im not smart enough to understand the ins and outs of this but it seems comical to force them to sell. its their browser, you think defaulting to their own search engine would make the most sense

[static acorn]

this is why i use firefox

[craggy wadi]

firefox uses google by default i think

[static acorn]

bro...

[craggy wadi]

yeah google pays mozilla for that right haha

[static acorn]

chrome

they are selling chrome

[queen flare]

hey man

[knotty valve]

It kinda sounds unethical., also you said this.

[remote rain]

🙂

I spend 2 Days 1 night download 4 software all with help of chat-GPT
But nothing works 🙂
I have asked so many people but no one knows what to do 🙂
So if we can't even bypass this simple windows defender then I think the internet and cyber world is fully safe 🫠

[rapid merlin]

the problem is that the way ur saying it and hows its sounding

it sounds unethical

and if u read the rules

we don't help in that factor

[sly coyote]

No one will help you bypass Windows Defender. Please don't use ChatGPT if you are a beginner it will point you in the wrong directions... And like everyone is saying your end goal feels unethical

[restive roost]

Have u not verified your thm account?

or did you just come into this server to ask about this?

cos i remember last week you also asked this

[remote rain]

It's just I want to do it 🙂
It's on my ego now

[restive roost]

Yeah bro I don't think anyone's gonna help you because it sounds like you're doing it for the wrong reasons.

[remote rain]

Okk thank you all 🙂

[restive roost]

@remote rain why havent you verified your thm account

[mellow narwhal]

You sound like you're living in a fantasy world lol

a.) Windows Defender keeps getting updated, it's not trivial to bypass.
b.) The cyber world is never fully safe. Defender isn't a central point to digital security lol

That is the hot period lmfao

Winter is literally freezing

[rapid merlin]

cold is better in my opinion ^^

[knotty valve]

Not when it's almost 0°C in the mornings

I like to be able to feel my fingers

[rapid merlin]

oh yes, not at this point of course haha

[rapid merlin]

I have the same problem in winter mornings, my hands and my nose lol

[knotty valve]

My nose is fine, but my hands lock up really bad

[rapid merlin]

so you need hot gloves

[knotty valve]

Yeah

But at the same time: gloves give me sensory issues

[rapid merlin]

you just have to buy a good quality that is going with you

[primal pollen]

What are you talking about? I am here in Egypt and I am running the air conditioner because of the high temperature. 🙂😅

[rapid merlin]

haha egypt you have a hot weather there, like dubai

[slow cloud]

M9rnib

[primal pollen]

Yes, that's true. But Egypt's climate is somewhat more moderate than that of other neighboring countries, and that's what distinguishes it.

[rapid merlin]

yeah better for you 🙂

[knotty valve]

Meanwhile Australian summer:
Hot, hot, freezing cold, hot and raining, hot, three days of furnace

[rapid merlin]

all seasons in one season 😄

[knotty valve]

All seasons in one day fr

[rapid merlin]

haha, this is like living in a dream, so be careful ^^

[hallow hazel]

that sounds awesome though

[knotty valve]

It's annoying imho

I prefer more consistent weather

[rapid merlin]

make a travel lol

[knotty valve]

Can't afford to travel rn

[rapid merlin]

I was in Australia last December during summer and during evenings… it was freezing as hell 🤣

[knotty valve]

It can be like that yeah lmao

Or it'll be so hot you can't sleep

[rapid merlin]

But I really love Melbourne more than sydney

[night hull]

https://tryhackme.com/room/cheesectfv10 i need help

[thin ingot]

how do you guys usually take notes? like how is a page of your notes structured specifically? i'm currently writing them down with indentations like how i write pseudo-code lol

[rapid merlin]

you can devise your notes into subjct, like : networking, pentesting, osint , THM courses etc...

[thin ingot]

i'm thinking of switching from papers to an actual notebook because i keep getting water on them somehow

i just stack them under the edge of my keyboard

[mighty gust]

Just get a notebook or a diary

[rapid merlin]

yes it depends on how that will help you, btw a notebook is better 🙂

[mighty gust]

I mean book will be a little more organised

[knotty valve]

I use obsidian personally

[rapid merlin]

yeah it is a nice one

[knotty valve]

And from there I order by field, then subject, then subtopic and build the graph links so I can visualise how they all pan together

But my actual note structure varies on the topic

[rapid merlin]

nice job

[rapid merlin]

@thin ingot this is a good example too

[sick lance]

#room-help

[rapid merlin]

when do yall think i should jump to HTB?

[rapid merlin]

not yet, at least when you're done with cybersecurity 101 path

[knotty valve]

I mainly use HTB for CTFs

[rapid merlin]

i see like htb is so confusing and complex

[rapid merlin]

yes it's more advanced, THM will help you to progress at a good time 😉

[rapid merlin]

whats the difference between labs and ctf?

on htb

[knotty valve]

Labs are like THM rooms/labs

A CTF is more like a hacking competition

[rapid merlin]

ahh okay interesting

[knotty valve]

Though I find competition to be an over expression

[rapid merlin]

Labs are typically structured environments that provide a more controlled setting for users to practice their skills.
CTF challenges are more competitive and time-bound events where participants solve security-related puzzles and challenges to capture "flags"

[knotty valve]

Outside of big ones like DEFCON's CTF

Which even that's pretty relaxed

[rapid merlin]

alright understand

i will check it out once im done with the modules and labs on tryhackme

[knotty valve]

They're all pretty fun anyway imho

[rapid merlin]

sure they are

[knotty valve]

Hurting

[rough summit]

hello, i am a new member i just joined premium and it keeps asking me to verify my email but when i click on the link in my email it directs me to a 404 not found page. Is it ok to ignore the verification?

[stoic quarry]

I'd contact site support

[knotty valve]

Give it a minute or two

[stoic quarry]

If it takes a day or longer

[rough summit]

i have tried it since yesterday with no change

[stoic quarry]

#site-support

[rough summit]

im not sure how to contact support as it only gives me pre made bubbles to select for my issue

[rough summit]

oh ok thanks alot

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @stoic quarry (current: #255 - 30)

[rough summit]

i will ask them

[flat radish]

hi can someone help me understand how the " view site " option is working in thm

[stoic quarry]

It launches a webapp sorta thing, it should appear in the spit view

If you already have a VM open, it'll open another tab at the bottom

[flat radish]

yes, is that site a part of the platform

[knotty valve]

Yes

[stoic quarry]

Yeah, screenshot your page real quick

[knotty valve]

Everything THM launches is there's
It should either end in .thm if it's accessible over VPN or it'll be accessible in the the same view window as the VM (as Silastic said) or under THMs domain name

[rapid merlin]

it's better to discuss problems on #site-support so anyone who has the same question can find it there

[flat radish]

i want to create one like that.

[stoic quarry]

Like what

[flat radish]

as site that shows a split view like view site

[stoic quarry]

Iframe ig

[flat radish]

ohh ok

[stoic quarry]

Idk what they use but it's neat

it had intros to re basics

I'm currently solving brainstorm
forgot to read that this is rev eng room

[rapid merlin]

I see on modules.. there are different types. Blue,red,purple.. what do they mean?

[rapid merlin]

also this one
https://tryhackme.com/room/basicmalwarere

but this one more difficult than the first one

[sick lance]

Blue is defense.
Red is offensive.
Purple is a combination of both.

[knotty valve]

Someone outside of Microsoft owns the domain microsoftrecall.com and I can just imagine the chaos this will cause

[dark mason]

It wont?

Microsoft will just put it under recall.microsoft.com

[knotty valve]

They'd do it under aka.ms/recall

Or whatever their shortened link is

[dark mason]

Or that, yes

Won't cause much chaos

[knotty valve]

I say that cause not many people are going to know what the actual MS domain for it will be

So it could be used illicitly with a lot more ease

[dark mason]

True

[knotty valve]

Same if you owned recall.com, you could subdomain it with microsoft.recall.com

[dark mason]

The phising emails are gonna be crazy

[knotty valve]

im betting there's going to be an en masse of non technical people falling for it with how easy it is to make-up a domain for it

And just as long as your emails are signed correctly, it'll get through most filters

[dark mason]

[lethal flicker]

um

[dark mason]

I am lucky that my family is somewhat tech oriented

[knotty valve]

Same

[dark mason]

?

[knotty valve]

I don't have to worry about my partner either, cause her family is at least somewhat tech oriented

[lethal flicker]

hi

why do i have to pay for lessons?

Allow education for free?

[dark mason]

Cuz tryhackme has to make money somehow!

[knotty valve]

Because THM is a company

[sick lance]

THM need to make money to pay their employees, AWS bill etc.

[knotty valve]

Hosting isn't cheap

Especially on the scale of THM

[pliant cairn]

i can vouch for that

btw hey ppl

[dark mason]

You still have a lot of free lessons to check out tho

[knotty valve]

Hey

[sick lance]

However, 50% of THM is free.

[dark mason]

Hi, hru?

[pliant cairn]

somehow surviving and not getting pissed by microsoft

[dark mason]

I have a friend that uses AWS and the hidden fees are crazy

[knotty valve]

Only thing I wish for with THM is localised pricing

[dark mason]

• 1

[knotty valve]

I owe Amazon a glorious one cent

That I haven't paid for the last two years

[pliant cairn]

i use azure. can't relate. all the fees are hidden. i have not for once seen the billing analysis match my actual billing

[knotty valve]

They keep emailing me for it

[dark mason]

But once again, AWS doesn't have localized pricing either

Not sure what THM is able to do about that

[knotty valve]

Not sure what's happening here but this is never the case for me

[pliant cairn]

there is always a decent amount of difference for me.

[knotty valve]

Mine has always been to the dollar, never been off

Same with google when I tried out gcp, only time my prices are off is if I need to do currency conversion

Which I'm basically adding 40-50% extra cause currencies and bank fees

[simple fox]

there’s free rooms

[knotty valve]

Haven't staff disclosed what region and provider THM servers run on before?

Swear I saw it mentioned earlier today

Not sure who said it though

[simple fox]

lmao

[neat scaffold]

how can i make burp suite work with firefox?

[sick lance]

It's not hidden?

You can literally find AWS information on every box.

[sick lance]

You need to use FoxyProxy.

[simple fox]

why not use the browser it comes with?

[neat scaffold]

idk i love firefox

[knotty valve]

Usually cause people have their browser of choice setup in a certain way

Or preference

[sick lance]

If you run linpeas on a box you have a a shell on you can find them.

[simple fox]

i guess so

[neat scaffold]

in firefox i only found foxy proxy standard

will it work too?

[sick lance]

It's an extension.

[neat scaffold]

yes ik

[knotty valve]

Doesn't Firefox allow you to setup a proxy natively?

[sick lance]

You'll find them?

[neat scaffold]

it does but when i do set it up i wont be able to acces any website

[knotty valve]

Ah

[neat scaffold]

so what im i supposed to do?

[sick lance]

Use FoxyProxy extension in Firefox...

[neat scaffold]

.

morning thm

[willow helm]

Hi guys, I am connected to TryHackMe via OpenVPN. Now what? How can I complete the rooms; I don't need to start attackbox anymore, right? If so, I am learning python basics while I am connected to its server, how can I capture the flags?

And where to write codes? Download sth on my VM?

[cloud quiver]

No , we can't help you with that we don't do it here

[slow cloud]

[grim sparrow]

:hammer: ijuswannastayupallnight#0 has been banned.

[cloud quiver]

There shoukd be a split machine provided for that room 🙂

[slow cloud]

Is there a deadline on the mod applications?

[willow helm]

Maybe you mean I click "view site". What about other rooms like "advent of cyber 2024"; do I just need to simply connect to its server or I need to do more? It is my first time setting up a virtual kali machine on my host computer 🙂

[blissful pulsar]

download ur config file then do sudo openvpn 'configfile' then youll be connected to the vpn

[dark mason]

No

And yes

[cloud quiver]

No , I think that you can do entire python basics room from that split view 🙂

[dark mason]

They will end once there are enough mods

[slow cloud]

[cloud quiver]

You don't VPN at all I think 🙂

[slow cloud]

You should be able to yeah

[distant kiln]

How would I text someone’s number through instagram

[cloud quiver]

@mossy river

[slow cloud]

🤔

[distant kiln]

???

[slow cloud]

Could u explain

A bit more what u mean

[blissful pulsar]

i didnt even know u could do that

[willow helm]

Yes, but I am connecting via openVPN because I guess free users don't have an external connection. Like I am unable to complete some rooms even if they are free

[slow cloud]

Since i dont really get the texting a number through instagram

[distant kiln]

Like I want to text someone’s number without texting their instagram

[blissful pulsar]

just txt the number then

;-;

[slow cloud]

Yeah

[distant kiln]

So use instagram to gather their number

[cloud quiver]

Yeah but this room is special 🙂 . It should have everything provided in split view 🙂

[slow cloud]

Ah

That i dont think is possible

[distant kiln]

No i want to know if it could be done

[blissful pulsar]

it cantt

[distant kiln]

Good to know

[willow helm]

Okay thanks. How about other rooms? I am asking generally 😉

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @cloud quiver (current: #1 - 4726)

[distant kiln]

Thanks

[cloud quiver]

Yeah you need vpn connection if you want to use your machine 🙂

usually

[slow cloud]

It really depends on the room

[blissful pulsar]

being 10th in gold is so scary

[willow helm]

So simply writing "sudo openvpn my-configuation-file-name.ovpn" in my terminal enough, or I need to do more things if I want to complete some rooms?

[cloud quiver]

Yeah , it usually is 🙂

[blissful pulsar]

if u need other stuff the room would specify

[cloud quiver]

If you want to use custom domains make sure to add them to hosts file 🙂

[slow cloud]

But that usually is explained in the room if needed

[willow helm]

Could you explain this more to me please?

[blissful pulsar]

like if u dont want to type the ip when ur doing any sort of scan like

nmap 10.10.10.10

u could just do

nmap <name of the room>

i think

[oblique marlin]

Have anyone tried OSINT Tool and got valid information from it?

[cloud quiver]

like you want to use some custom domain like example.thm instead of raw ip of the machine , you need to include it in hosts file ( local cache ) 🙂

Check out DNS in details room if you haven't done so already

[mellow narwhal]

Google is the best OSINT tool

[willow helm]

Thank you @cloud quiver
I am doing advent of cyber 2024, and trying to connect to elastic SEIM via the provided link, but my browser shows an error message of "504 Gateway Time-out" what can I do?

Hello, I also have a quick question.
I was enrolled in the Junior Pentester Path, but my progress was halted because I didn’t have a premium subscription (it’s been around 5 months now).
If I complete the modules now, will the certificate show the original start date, the completion date, or will the time gap affect it? Thank you!

[sick lance]

Completion date.

Possibly with time.

I want to do some THM, but I honestly can't be bothered.

[crystal mauve]

Isn’t time spent a fixed number ?

does it actually track time spent in modules ?

[coarse holly]

so in my current situation it will be like hundred of hours ?

[sick lance]

Who knows?

[coarse holly]

it will be funny if my time to completion was 500hrs

[crystal mauve]

Doesn’t matter though, not like the certs can b used for job applications anyway

help: Launch the AttackBox if you haven't already. After you ensure you have terminated the VM from Task 2, start the target machine for this task. On the AttackBox, run Nmap with the default scripts -sC against MACHINE_IP. You will notice that there is a service listening on port 53. What is its full version value?

That's not really ethical or legal

[brittle wasp]

hm? what do u mean?

are tracking links not legal?

[neat scaffold]

can someone help with something pls

[brittle wasp]

Tracking scammers is legal as long as I only collect basic info like IP, device, and location for self-protection. Hacking or stealing personal data is illegal.

Am i right?

or not

[rapid merlin]

what do you want to learn to be honest? we have to ask this

[cosmic minnow]

Simply collecting IP addresses and general device info that scammers send you (e.g., through an email or website visit) is usually fine... Hacking into their systems, accessing private accounts, or gathering personal data without consent crosses into illegal territory

Even when collecting basic info, you should still avoid public "doxxing" or unauthorized data sharing, s that can also have legal consequences.

[brittle wasp]

Of course, vigilante hacking is illegal. I just meant basic tracking for self-protection, not hacking devices or accounts.

[cosmic minnow]

what does "tracking for self-protection" entail..?

[rapid merlin]

i love helping others

[neat scaffold]

so is there an up-to-date payloads compatible with modern Android versions?

[rapid merlin]

why do you want to track scammer

hitman?

[naive violet]

...how does getting an IP help you there?

[brittle wasp]

By 'tracking for self-protection', I mean collecting public information like IP address, approximate location (from the IP), device type, and browser version.

[rapid merlin]

.

also you wont find anything from public informations

many people use same ip

💔

[blissful pulsar]

i feel like im so close to getting Moebius room user.txt

[cosmic minnow]

yeah, ISP release and renew ips constntly

[naive violet]

CGNAT

[brittle wasp]

Getting the IP can help to confirm suspicious activity, like if the login attempts come from a country where my friend doesn't live. It can also show if the attacker is using a VPN or a proxy. It's just for gathering clues to support account recovery, not for attacking anyone.

[naive violet]

Lol what

[near hawk]

🤔

[naive violet]

Account recovery? Contact the support of the service

[rapid merlin]

this^

[naive violet]

Using a VPN or a proxy? Who cares, you're not the police

Login attempts? Use good passwords, don't share them, use 2fa

[brittle wasp]

I understand, thanks. I will contact the official support instead. I just wanted to help my friend, not cause any trouble.

[brittle wasp]

he got in a server and they hacked him and stole his acc

[rapid merlin]

he probably verified his account via fake bot

[rich timber]

Hii guys i need help if someone can help

I don't have access to old Instagram account no Emil no password i want to get it back is it possible

[cosmic minnow]

Your not really causing trouble, just going about it in a rather convoluted manner, and people are trying to figure out what it is you are actually trying to do (

There are lots of random posts on here on "pls hax my roblox back", people are weary...

[sick lance]

Contact Instagram support

[sick lance]

This won't help with self protection

[rapid merlin]

Even Upwork has a client about this haha

[brittle wasp]

Why not

[sick lance]

And that's illegal

[rich timber]

They will never reply back

[sick lance]

What protection does that give you?

[brittle wasp]

If i get hacked (lets say i tracked him already) then i know wehre he did that

[rapid merlin]

what then?

[mossy river]

IP addresses change all the time

[brittle wasp]

i can find out info for my self or call someone that knows more

[dense spoke]

Be honest, have you tried an SMS phishing campaign with relaysms.io before?

[brittle wasp]

tracking links

[rapid merlin]

crime of harassment

[brittle wasp]

?

[dense spoke]

No bro

SMS Gateway link

[sick lance]

This is illegal. 🙂

[brittle wasp]

[dense spoke]

Similar site with Onbuka

Only elites can relate.

[sick lance]

So what do you do if the IP charges?

[brittle wasp]

i am ethalic and i dont wanna get in trouble with the police

[brittle wasp]

trying again or get some other infos (in a tracking link are more infos then just an IP)
