Overthewire is the one I was thinking of
should've written the key on a sticky note and slapped it on the edge of their monitor
Can anyone help me with a few questions from ceh v13 skill engage part?
they would still have it at least
Okay, be back soon. Chinese food calls to me
Doesn't the E stand for Ethical?
These are just practice questions
Not from the actual exam
What's the question then good Mr. Left ( I have to balance out hahaha)
Shall i dm you?
Nah, other people may bne able to learn eh?
I solved the others but unable to do them
Yes this is from skill enagage...... We can do this any number of times we want and when we have 10 minutes left then we get the option to increase the time by 30 minutes
Unlike the exam where we get 6 hours only
ezpz?
I got into the android device using phonesploit
But unable to find the file asked in the question
Yeah i odn't really understand it
We have to use phonesploit to connect to the device
Have you connected to it?
I purchased the elite package and have been through the labs...... But these questions are very much different
Ofcourse
I was able to solve other android related questions
Did you retrieve the photo in question?
That's the issue....... I didn't find any screenshot
Even the screenshot folder was empty
If anyone is there who has done this engage part then it would be helpful
Maybe need to look around for it,
I tried using find command as well
You may need to move around and check, this gives you something to do, however I'm still not convinced you're not doing the exam.
See this CEH engage?
While others are pending? I have to submit for evaluation and then i will get the exam voucher
I cannot use my phone while i give the exam......... I have given v12 exam but failed by 1 question....... Now i have prepared for v13 and will be giving the exam this month
Screenshots are usually in the PNG format
so use find / -name *.png -type f
@fiery schooner What did the directory structure of the phone's storage look like?
was it like that of linux or an android phone (with Android, DCIM, Documents etc.)
Yes
Android follows linux file structure
Probably looking at it, and not realising.
hi
Hello
is there a place where we can report typos?
That is so cute
My cat doesn’t cuddle
would I be able to receive feedback on a new room I am working on? like suggestions for improvement and on what level it should be set to (easy, medium, hard), how well it is done, and other?
or is that something for the creators-lounge? 
im a curious person what its on
the room? it's about a tool I am developing (or rather have developed) related to c2 (command and control)
sounds interesting
would you be interested in checking it out?
If you're planning on submitting it, please don't post it in the server.
yeer i was kinda waiting to see if it was actually allowed
in back of my mind something told me it might be complex
oh, I don't plan on it, it's really just for feedback, for if I submit another one, I could use the suggestions from this one to improve the next one
ah okay
if there is nothing against the rules about it your welcome to dm me about it more and i can get to it sometime next week for ya
depending on subject material will depend on the day i get to it
alright 
I just accidentally clicked "light mode".
oh dear
been there, done that
I can not get to the bottom of what type of dns attack this is. For once ChatGPT has been absolutely useless.
for a room?
Nah from my phone
I’ve read in multiple places “There’s several types”
But can’t figure out what type it is
your looking at a specific example of one im guessing?
anyone tried the Zed code editor?
nah, I haven't
I wrote teas but years is also a good description
if the motive is truly ethical im happy to try and help
No I’m going through one and can’t figure out what they’re doing
Where’s this from ?
why?
As soon as I tried to block them, they blocked my internet connection 😂
I hope he chokes on his next noodle.
Regarding DNS (as I think that this is the question) Maybe this will help you
https://hackviser.com/tactics/pentesting/services/dns
https://book.hacktricks.wiki/en/network-services-pentesting/pentesting-dns.html
Only DNS attacks that come to my mind are DNS Spoofing or DNS Tunneling?
o
What's up with DNS?
Thank you, there’s so many ways it can be done. Seems developer mode may have been activated on my phone at some point too, not by me.
Gave +1 Rep to @echo sentinel (current: #762 - 7)
That can't be done remotely.
They would need access to your phone.
So I had issues with my phone for a long time. I finally managed to view logs. I found the redirects like I expected. Https to http. Thought MITM so I directed web traffic through a wire to my laptop and it made a change for about 3 minutes and then then back to insecure web traffic.
I've heard a bunch about. Do you use it? I might give it a try hmm
Like, physical.
Is this incident isolated to a single network you're on or for all networks you connect to?
They’ve been dropping my 4g and if I try to get them out my 4g just stops. 😂
The only person to ever get access my phone physically was my ex.
im consdiering giving it a try
Have you considered resetting your phone?
Resetting devices has made no difference to any of them which is why I was so set on it being malware or spyware but my phone came back negative for spyware 😒
Alr, I think the free version of multi collaboration is also very cool. Intellij has it.. but only for 30mins, then you gotta restart codewme
ive heard they have a good vim mode
What
What happened to ur phone :c
I thought it was a zero day/ zero click
Wasn't there one like very recently
But I’m sure even Pegasus would have showed up on that scan so it can’t be malware
No it wouldn't lol, but it's not that for sure
I ran my phone through amnesty internationals scanner though
They specifically scan for that
Hmm maybe
Why would they even target you in the first place, if it's spyware it's usually just for journalists, human rights activists and similar
Are you involved in any of that type of stuff?
Ofc it could be just randomly spread but I'd assume you don't click or download random stuff
I don’t nah
Hi guys, do you know if customer service is active today?
Just run through more scanners ig or try checking the traffic with NetGuard maybe? Or maybe setup a local DNS sinkhole to log all device reqs?
Bunch of stuff u can do
I wouldn't think so
Dunno tho u gotta ask mods for that one
They are not.
Probably not back until Tuesday
Yeah thank you
Gave +1 Rep to @bleak quartz (current: #477 - 13)
i just play Beat Saber
I did like rhythm master though, a drum one from the arcade
That’s a good one also
I was so young when I did that
What now, you’re 50
Well I used to go to the lower ground floor in hamleys up central London to play that when I was a kid
I must have been under 15 at the time
I’m 31 now so…
I taught you were like 21 cause the way you were talking
😭 what does that even mean
Hi
This community for the people interested for cybersecurity?… sorry for my language is so bad
correct
yuup for learning cybersecurity with the help of the handy website https://tryhackme.com
Where is the correct chat in this server...or is every room correct?
depends for what purpose... but generally this channel is the place to be
What I need is a chat to talk about hacks and talk freely without restrictions... Am I really in the right place?
Only legal hacks
as long as its entirely ethical and there are some topics that are considered advanced which arent discussed in general
like malware analysis
Yah yah for the legal thx
Gave +1 Rep to @sacred shore (current: #1138 - 4)
only legal and ethical hacking discussion allowed
and yes malware stuffs is restricted to advanced channels for good reasons as it can be abused for illegal stuff otherwise
All I want to do is exchange conversations with people who understand me and know exactly what I'm saying, like normal topics like I'm bored of learning about networks and it's the worst part of cybersecurity, etc.
it might be the "worst" but its an exceptionally important part of it but yes people will understand cyber security topics here a lot of us have our niche or specialities
yo guys s2
I would like to apologize again for my bad accent but I don't speak English and I was mixing up my speech with a translator.
(when does my tag update from 0x4 ito 0x5)
After which point do you think I should start doing challenges?
normally updates every 24 hours i cant remember the exact time
I am halfway through the Jr Pentester path right now
huge, thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @upper knoll (current: #151 - 56)
what kinds of challanges?
Thx my black fire !
You can verify your account again using /verify.
pentesting/red teaming
depends on your base knowledge what youve already learnt about and level of room u want to hit
my advice is you lose nothing by trying find some of the rooms labelled 5 minute hacks they are super easy and pretty good for beginners!
well so far I'm halfway through the Jr Pentester path, I took my sweet sweet time with that
worth to note I'm a SWE/AI Engineer so this is not completely new to me
Give one a try and see how it goes
Since you're talking about pentesting and red teaming...do you find the idea of forming a team of four or five people to be a cyberbullying boost or do you find it lazy?
Cybersecurity boosts***
hi guys, anyone able to help with a query around dns lookups and reverse lookups please
is this for a room?
no particular roon
hackthebox machines hurts brain
go have a look at the thm content on it then the rooms are there and valuable you can just use the search function!
if you want to discuss things like that you can always ask in #cyber-and-careers you might find some active red teamers to discuss it with
I tried the usual items and couldnt find an answer myself hence the shout for help
Black fire , are you a admin for this Server? You work very hard for the normal member !
hell nah
i just like to help when i can
i feel like its covered in the networking rooms however it been a hot minute since ive been on that specific topic so cant offer much advice sorry
no problem
you can always look on youtube its always a super useful resource for additional more specific info
thats very helpful, thank you
Straight away. Dive in head first. Research what you don't know and take lots of notes.
Black fire…what is your POV for the skid ? I mean the Kali Linux + john the Ripper or hydra and the hacking people without consciousness ? Like the Children of Russia hhhhhhhhhhhh
never conduct anything unethical
... The hell are you on about 
yeah lol wtf
(english isnt their first lanauge im just assuming some of the content of their message)
Me ? Or what ?
yes you
@noble patrol How many r's are in the word "Strawberry"?
yes there are unethical actors however i dont ever really want to emulate them
Are you bullying me because I don't speak English well?
skiddies arent really a true threat in the current landscape for anyone worth their salt in a blue team or SOC
Why 😢😢😭
You don't want to know how many SMEs don't have those.
a sad amount im sure
1 = im sorry
2 = I didn't do anything immoral bro .
nothing to be sorry i was answering you on the fact that these days skiddies arent really a threat
i will always specific ethicality because thats a crucial element of how we are here
I feel bad know for using kali 🙂
hi
Why?
Because it's not true hacking/s
Bro…I use Kali is the good sys 😅
But I mean a skid
Do you use it though?
@shut hawk you ask forgiveness me now
huh?
.
I don’t really use kali, I just boot into ubuntu and kali and and parrot depending on my mood
Why?
You never did answer that 
Idk, I have a strange computer that need a specific os for each task, he is made out of components that aren’t stable enough for linux
Ya what?
that was a light hearted joke in response to you saying about hacking people without consciousness
Jayy you definitely need to forgive him for asking him that extremely offending question 
lol
What kind of strange computer do you have exactly?
I will get sentenced to death if I pronounce it
Hacking without “consciousness “
Active directory is so boring is there even any use for learning this?
Hands down the best experience of my life
Sure there is
I hate windows overall too but active directory is used alot 😭
Niiice
lolololol oh boy
nah its useless, nobody uses AD anymore
its archaic
Gratz, glad you had the chance to participate.
Exactly don't update it or maintain it and use password as your password
all my homies love the cloud
no kerb pre auth for everyone!
Linux is getting more desktop space now amongst gamers so hopefully less windows support needed.
or "incorrect" so it tells you when you forget!
OH YES THIS IS PERFECT
in the coming decades
Security by obscurity! No one hacks idiots ever
Pewdiepie made linux mainstream
Nah fr
I mean hes bringing in new users to use linux for gaming/ desktop 😭
Big contribution
Also with Valve and proton
He definitely helped it.
SteamOS
steam is doing the most tho
Yup
Only thing blocking Linux gaming from being perfect
Is anticheats
I might jump in vc soon
Most wont switch since they cant play some games
Also lots of apps dont support linux so thats a deal breaker for some
Honestly he's helped open new users to it but I wouldn't say he's made it "mainstream"
if the price to play a game is Ring 0 access then no thanks.
:/
Me personally, I'd rather have a separate computer just for games that run anti-cheat at kernel level.
But on my personal gaming laptop, no way!
I just want to live in the woods and go insane instead.
Very cool
real
i love nature
why do leagues have to end so late 💔
Same
i like treeeeeeeeeees
My brain is great maybe just reboot it
Sleep
I drank like 300mg of caffeine so i can stay up late so i make sure i win
I AINT LOSIN
i need the badge
💀
It doesnt matter
Stretch a lil
Hi hello hay hey hillo

Put on some heavy metal and go dance
Nah put on some tachovsky Stalins ballad and just stare at it
I know those days when your body decide out of no where to activate low power mode on, you start see on 30fps and eyes hurt easily
Im putting on levan polkka
A reboot (sleep) can troubleshoot that
me rn
That is my default
Doesn’t caffeine stop you from sleeping and feeling tired?
Thats lowkey every day
Sleeping will make you lose, you should instead learn how to center a div
Bros overclocking
You should read on it 😄
I just graduated from college so i have lots of free time 😭
Caffeine just makes my heart faster
Okay 
Build up tolerance
It blocks your adenosine (makes you feel tired) for a period of time but it will eventually get through. Doesn't make it disappeae.
1 gram everyday
I used to drink coffee all day every day and one day my body was like nah
In here, it’s tea, a good tea fulled with sugar
You should make cafe cubano
IM SO TIRED ITS CRAZY
Sleep
Go splash your face with cold water
Ill try that
Im on a 2k point lead
Or move around
Moving around helps a lot more. Get blood pumping.
Gamble and lose your life's savings too, that will wake you up.
Now lose it
Just got back to being on profit 💔
X9
That’s my project when I get the legal age, everything on red /J
Am i allowed to link the clip here?
Well time to gamble my studying for tomorrows finals. Gl ronkkeli
Gl to you too
I'm selling Neymar Personal data for $5 USD
Nobodies from Finland probably wont recognize
i have prints with proof
Amateur fight
😦
You just reminded me that I have finals in 22days, may you be damned
wanna see?
There was also another event from which you might recognize a fighter
no
Makwan Amirkhani (Kurdish: ماکوان ئەمیرخانی; born November 8, 1988) is a Finnish mixed martial artist who competes in the Featherweight division. He is most notable for his time in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Mr Finland
why?
do league points roll over into the next weeks cycle or do they reset completely? besides for the top 20 who get promtoed and the top 3 who get extra points does your score impact the next leagues placement at all
it was over very fast
💀
https://icecage.fi/
^^ The event
Makwan Amirkhani vs Joni Salovaara
Theo Kolehmainen vs Hama Dara
Those 2 were the best fights 100%
merp morp it is time for the vorp into future through sleep sloop to beep boop
It was
Like theres backstory to this fight
Stagala is like a very hated person here in Finland
And immu challenged to fight him
There was lots of hype
But immu really had not chance cuz hes very old
Compared to the professional young athlete
The fight sold out completely just because people wanted to see stagala lose
But he won in 10 seconds
Watch amirkhanis fight against joni salovaara
2 of the best finnish fighters
Amirkhani you may know if you watch UFC
One of the fastest knockouts
Mr Finland
Also theo vs hama dara
SDL3
What if someone actually hacks tryhackme
same as any other website
They get a bug hunter level lol
I don't think that person would care about that
If they report it then I guess they care
Outside of the bug bounty program? They'd be reported to law enforcement.
What league
I was scared that you may be a league player
Damn
But i quit because i swithced my pc to linux
Same
And Linux doesn't support league
To make sure nobody passes me
I cant sleep peacefully
Make it support linux
I got trauma from when the leagues broke when it released
And i didn't get the badge
But i got this one instead and the #1 badge
😉
Competitive thm
Yeah i meant make it work
Now I wait for my CVE submission..
Im not that high level
And i do like the
Walktroughs etc
Theres tons of points
Also some rooms give 2k points
1k
etc
WHAT DID I SAY
Someones tryna catch up
Im gonna go insane but the badge is worth it
Hope you get it!
Bro is cooked
Which ones 😳
The left one
I should because I know that the devs are actively testing it!
and I only know they're actively testing it because my dad is on top of the updates.
Advent of cyber
Wait
Add me ill link a repo
Where you can see
Advent of cyber was lots of rooms
How do you get it?
finally can sleep
i understand you
Sooooo clooooossssse 🤣
Watch my power go out or my ISP randomly screw up my connection...
my thm is so old
You cant anymore
it was for when the league system broke
i got that badge too
you can rest in peace. im not going to do more today 😂
I saw is a hard way to bypass you
😂
I started to do some easy rooms but i give up
"Learning cybersecurity", "starting in cybersecurity", "how websites work"... 😂
hahaha same
I swear i think i might have brushed up against some sort of demon
Who 😭
u found mailer daemon?
Well, 2 within one week actually
One was the guy currently at the #1 place in my league
He went up like 2000 points 2 hours before midnight
And on the other hand the people in my region have gone insane
seems legit xd
Pretty sure this is what auctioneers call "sniping"
My guy is the white death
Understandable reaction
icl my league is semi competitive i managed top 15 pretty easily when i get to higher levels i might sweat it a little more
I prefer to keep it vague for general security in case someone scrapes this groupchat, but somewhere mountainous in eastern/central europe
Jes*
English in general 💔
I couldnt finish first in gold and sapphire
😭
That's why it's great to know a bunch of languages
this is what I wanted to do with ronkkeli 😂 I thought he could be sleeping now
im about to rank into gold
idk i started at the bottom
I didnt even get a chance for the #1 badge 😭
The database said im in diamond
According to staff
That's why I'm learning interslavic
i skipped like 2-3 weeks of leagues
I already know the syntax, so it might be useful
But missed out on the badge
💔
The league has broken like 5 times for me
Thats how i got that one badge
It is really annoying how some badges are missable
Im a fiend for badges 😭
My inner completionist is screaming every time i see one I can't get
im so lucky i didnt get that
im super competitive when i want to be but i dont need to complete things 100% luckily
i like the badges though ill say
Some are better than others
you could always derank yourself to go get them xd
bye to my 1st place on diamond league 😭
Bronze
nope
Diamond
okay ill be happy when i get there
aaahh that's my luck... 😂
Also, is anyone else getting really strange "news"
Wdym?
Huhh
I mean
The contents themselves are normal but every so often the image is random
Pretty sure I got a political one with Freddy Krueger or someone similar
Like a week ago
😭
must've looked wild 😭
oooh my godnesss! 😮💨
I mean the writing wasn't on the image but it was something like "Council votes reveal most likely candidates"
got first place as well, free user supremacy
Gj buddy
I have three, that was the problem xd
And its refreshing the page automatically
Premium >
I love attackbox
Same, if I weren't broke I'd absolutely be premium
im poor kid tho
hahaha it was a little joke to make you nervous
If you're going to be first, I might as well make you suffer a little
omg finally.....
2 hrs? More like 2 days lol
Ok, I've never even watched Star Wars but it's May the 4th and I have to do this
hahahaha nice pic!
You, uh, know what happens next right?
😂
oh wow, I tottally didn't even realize that was today...
I know Anakin gets the crispy fried treatment
That's the one 
I should probably watch star wars as well
I read the novel adaptation of that film, years ago. Revenge of the Sith
I've just had it spoiled by a friend
New star wars series / movies are so mid
Atleast i think so 😭
The originals are the best ones
When disney took over it went downhill
Anakin > Vader
haven't even bothered to watch most
Real
Again, I have read one book and not watched any films 
Cyborgs creep me the hell out though
The duels in revenge of the sith were the best
I've played one of the multiplayer PvP games but I'm pretty sure I was too busy laughing about how stupid the emperor looks to pay attention to my friend lore dumping
All I'm saying is I am not dying to a guy doing the Nosferatu walk
It was a lot of fun
I think I mainly played -I-forgot-his-name spider lightsaber collector droid
General grevious
the leagues are regional right?
Cool character design and one heck of a moveset
I mean, imagine recognising the sabers in his hand as a friend's or a family members
congrats @rapid merlin. the next diamond will be mine 💪
I know he collects them from his victims
Kinda serial killerish
Grand Admiral Thrawn, great character in Rebels
Ops I thought league ended right now, still there is 1 hour left
yer same tbh
i thought it would be midnight british time
@rapid merlin Isn't your banner the CICADA case?
How does that work
It is
hahaha go rest, dont be worry for me
i wont catch you
I loved the thm room based on it
Personally, I just spend time in the AD network rooms to test new ways of doing stuff.
👀
Ill be doing this tomorrow
Should be more rooms like that tbh
Ew. Another cyborg
Hey, i have a thing for creepy floor crawling
Yeah
They are so creepy
Also, you have no idea how long this took me to test
@boreal wing get in here you nematode and apologise 😆
😭
I love to play more on the troops side on bf2
Cuz like idk what it is about that
But i like more playing as a droid, stormtrooper etc
It would suck to be a stormtrooper irl though
I mean
Every 5 seconds there's some ultra force attuned maniac tearing through your friends
I mean
My friend mentioned they were made from the gigachad of bounty hunters
Kind of a shame they look like the regulars
That was the gigachad
Yes
Boba was his adoptive son right?
Yes a clone of himself
He took as like a son
Im pretty sure
I learned most of my star wars lore lowkey trough the original lego game
Back when i was a kid 😭
Also is it just me but am I the only one that thinks Yoda sort of looks like a shaved ewok
😭
Sort of stubby arms
Foreshortened looking torso
Near complete lack of legs
Feet incredibly wide, stretching towatds sides
He kinda does
Same here though on that front
He looks like a joke character
But is apparently some sort of demigod
hi i just want to send massege and say they are talking about thm in htb server bye
About thm
?
😂
Side note
What is up with high magic universes and having just that guy
Yk, the ridiculously overpowered one who could probably solve the big problem on their own
I mean, gandalf and galadriel were not pulling theor weight
Some characters from comics are very hard to put into live action
Especially a series
Because they are so OP
You have to nerf them 😭
The Flash is a good example of this
"The temptation is too strong" just go clear the way then
In general superheroes are unfair
Superman can stop time
Why is gotham even remotely crime ridden
You have the closest earthly thing to a god on your team
And even demi gods on the team
Yet they lose
💔
And then they win
Basic superhero slop loop
The boys is the most realistic superhero series
A bit over the top for me, but at least the invincible guy is actually a threat
Homelander?
Yeah
Yeah it can be sometimes
But overall good
Nah, invincible gets his butt kicked by absolutely everyone
Let him cook man 😭
But the thing is he is so strong he cant control his power
And he tries to like
Hold back
Next season he'll be better im pretty sure
I mean, he's decent at it
He hasn't vaporised any friends yet
The reanimen are bs though
Yeah
Ruins the point
And cecil 💔
The crab thing
To neutralise him
Its like they do everything to nerf the guy
Who would win
- A near invinclible being capable of destroying continents in minutes
- this dead guy I gave a metal skeleton
I mean
1st day of powers he throws a trash can into space
How dense are the reanimen that full power uppercuts don't even lift them
I mean ig they are engineered to counter threats like invincible 😭
But still kind of stupid
They even have more powerful ones coming
He made the 1st one in a sewer
It was still apparenty able to go toe to toe
But died to the sundial?
I'll just stick with suspension of disbelief
I don't want to ruin anything for myself
Anyway
Goodnight guys
Goodnight mate
I was watching a guy showing some tips about hair, and the guy was bald
Then I see this comment

😭
@boreal gull care to weigh in? 
👀
How did everyone's leagues go?
Do you win anything other than bragging rights for finishing in the top 3 in those?
You win bragging rights for finishing as the first, only. (As it gives you a badge)
Any other placement is pretty much the same if you're not #1.
Ah, ok. So no gems to redeem in the store like Duolingo 😅
Welp, to answer your original question then, I was 15 points away from a badge 🙄
does people remember the second best runner in the world?no, only the first.
Only the first one can brag about it
Badges are worthless anyways, someone would have to explicitly dig into your profile to see them. They aren't featured anywhere.
it's funny bc most people here would probably assume im bald by that message which I prefer over people knowing 😭😭😭
and also, 0.11 seconds separated bolt and tyson
looking back it's no wonder why John Hammond didn't contribute
dude what si wrong with azure path
it keeps giving me this error
when i click cloud details

Wrong channel for that, but I did see someone complain about the exact same error a few days ago. It was multiple people too. Maybe you can find if they fixed it using the search bar.
Hi.
Hello.
hruu
Fine thanks how about you?
You gotta tell them the truth
Guys. Telling anyone the code of doxing tools is illegal right?
Yes it is illegal , we don't discuss such things here
Ik we can’t discuss it here. I just wanted to make sure that it’s illegal cause someone wanted a code and they said it’s completely legal💀
whats up
bald bee bald bee
hey zumi
interesting
im eating chicken caeser salad
yeah
hm
idk
nice!
whats in it
nice
that could be cool
huh
I wanna codee, but brain fried. what do
not code
sleep?
;-;
does it tho
all science says yes
Nah, 3d print. No brain power needed
checks out
what u making?
Prints for a client
ah okay
Lockpicking stuff
practice locks or a tool?
Trays, clips, base, holders, followers
thats cool
Yah, I'm in locksports, so we pick (NOT IN USE) locks
its a skill i want to learn longer term tbh
Yeah it's awesome. I wanna get into it as well
I used to do that stuff
Look up r/lockpicking, they have a discord called LockPickersUnited
Fastest I've popped household deadlocks was about 15s
i wont lie ive never used reddit once in my life
And that was on my first go
For those of you wanting to get into it, DO NOT BUY THE CLEAR LOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unless you wanna learn how a lock works, picking on those things fucking suck and teaches you jack shit
noted. Why?
if my knowledge is correct they are ridiclously simple locks
its literally just aa learning tool
and often not realistic
That too
it just shows you how it works thats it
I practiced on my own locks in my house
Yeah that sounds about right. U need to simulate the actual experience of picking a lock right>?
So ranging from basic 3-pins to 6-pins
They don't teach you feedback. You go in with a pick and tensioner, and you feel nothing.
Seeing it, sure, teaches that, nothing else
If u just see everything ur basically cheating
doesnt matter for what they are. not their purpose
I'm yet to learn how to pick certain secure locks as well (namely that U shaped one)
A lot of people use it to try and learn how to pick locks, like how to get a feel for it, it doesn't help with that, just for how a lock works
Pretty sure a rake would be easier for those ones
i mean it gives you the very basic feel
If you want to learn how a lock works: YouTube locksmiths
From someone who has been doing locksport for 5 years, it really doesn't lol
Learning how to actually pick locks you want to test it on locks you actually own or have permission to try with
In LPU/ Locksport, we have a belt ranking system. Higher up you go, the harder they are
cool well ive been doing it the same amount of time. it gives you again, the very basic feel of it
im not saying its realistic
do those transparent locks not have feedback? (even if they do u can see everything so there's no point but still)
Not even basic tbh
im saying it shows you what it feels like to have a pick in the lock
The feedback in my experience was barely noticeable
yeah not much
IMO, it's too cheap feeling to teach. I'd say a masterlock would be better for that
Master Lock my absolute unbeloved
yes but the point is for you to see the actual mechanisms of the lock
Yeah I agree with the sentiment of learning to pick on real locks. Seems more fun too
TLDR its for people who cant visualize
If you want, pull the lock out of your door and learn with that
its also sometimes bundled in with a really cheap lockpick set thatll do for beginners
You'll be able to see a fair amount, you can always dismantle and remantle it
yeah unless you dont own your home
I need to get a proper toolset
then thats certainly not advisable
We got a strict rule over there, rule 2. No picking locks in use, bad.
It's just like in ethical hacking, we don't know if someone owns that computer, or that lock, so we can't help.
You can always buy your own lock
Cheap ones do it well enough
yep
I mean if it's on something you own, or a place you live in, that would be an exception
Not saying to do it on some randoms house 😂
Nope, cause we can't verify that. You can do it, I would advise against it, but if it's in use, we can't help and guide you.
Now if it's not in use, not locking anything, free reign, we'll help any way we can
hey chat
Again, it's like ethical hacking
do you guys ever miss high school?
Nope
ye a bit
loll
Yeah, still the point of: if the asset is in your jurisdiction then there's nothing stopping you from testing
man if you own your house and want to pick your own locks whatever. as long as you own it. youre responsible for it and you (assumingly) know the risks. whatever
im graduating soon
congrats
thanks
i miss the simplicity sometimes. but i dont miss damn near anything else
Like I can sue myself for hacking my own computer, or picking my own locks
I agree, but if they ask for guidance, in say, LPU, we can't help guide.
They can do whatever they want, no one is stopping em
But it's a choice I made on my own assets
wrdd
is college better for you?
i had to do almost all my college online so, ehhhhhh
Thought experiment: what about hotel room safe locks? if u get a room in a hotel, r u allowed to pick that lock?
i guess cause i got to lay in my bed during lectures?
oh lol
you dont own it so no
No because that's against the contract you sign when renting
lol
Cause you can cause damage to their property

it can be you have more freedom. but you also have to give more of a shit, youre paying to be there
You buy it, you own it. Do whatever. Don't mess with others properties 👀
Omw to rent a hotel room and change the locks with ones I own
yeah that i can image
do i gif perms yet?
only when verified
sigh
Ig I'll waltz up to some building and offer to buy their door cause why not
It's all a matter of legality
Yup
Make sure to buy the doorframes too so they take the doors off
That's an interesting physical pentesting scenario. Someone buys the doors and there's a brief window where the entire building can be waltzed into
That's why you have security
Asides from it being completely something that would never happen, funny concept
Bribe with donuts
I'd do it
Would it cost me a stupid amount of money to get them to accept? Sure
But I'd do it
I mean if ur a nationstate and u got basically infinite funding then money isn't an issue lol
The issue is the security ig
it doesnt make sense
The company I work for has infinite money
it makes literally 0 sense for someone to do
And social engineering uber made any sense?
social engineering uber?
Some things are done just for the sake of it
Yeah some kid I know social engineered uber into a refund that wasn't supposed to be accepted
THat would be the funniest phone call
cool that shits easy who cares
It's not a who cares
it would be pretty comical...
It's just people do it cause they can
are you saying you think people could buy a companies installed door
Not all cyber attacks or physical attacks are done for financial gain
of course not
There's times wheres it for the shits and giggles
Which is what buying a companys doors would be
What if u open a shell company selling fake "security" doors?
that's an idea
im gonna stop talking because this is literally the stupedist argument ive been in for the past 10 years or so
yeah thats an idea
selling "high security" locks/security things
You mean like those flywire doors
