general

[blissful current]

Not much ..I clean the fans on a regular basis ..but I do need to put a new thermal paste

[knotty valve]

Also YT is pretty cpu intensive at times

[frozen gull]

im afraid to unscrew

y'all wanna see the condition of my old laptops

[knotty valve]

My laptop has a thermal mat anyway

[blissful snow]

Where can I learn social engineering at and practice it

beside youtube

[frozen gull]

get a tutor

[blissful snow]

That's the hard part

I have to get some money

[blissful current]

Sure

[knotty valve]

Get a tutor, study psych, YT, read write-ups or books, etc

[sick lance]

Not many places, as many places don't class it as ethical.

[blissful current]

I do have a Microsoft Surface on me for ..."work" related stuff

[blissful snow]

Ah

[sick lance]

To get like,. interactive materials

[frozen gull]

2 old aa hps

And a lenovo loq

[blissful snow]

I have 3 but only 1 works 😂

[blissful current]

Damn

[knotty valve]

Some CTFs will do social engineering simulations occasionally

But they're just baisc keyword things

[frozen gull]

Good ol days

[blissful current]

[blissful snow]

What happenedd

[frozen gull]

Detachable keyboard are extinct now

[blissful snow]

NOOOO

I didn't even know they existed

[blissful current]

Framework laptops: No sir not yet

[knotty valve]

I liked the keyboards in the old Toshiba laptops

[frozen gull]

Cool sticker right

[blissful snow]

For some reason I remember when I was younger and I raged at and bite my computer screen 💀

[blissful snow]

nice

[blissful current]

https://frame.work

[blissful snow]

Then I tried to lied my way around it 🤣

[frozen gull]

Oh I broke my screen once like that

[blissful current]

It's ..from Neon genesis Evangelion something anime right?

[blissful snow]

lool

I used hdmi after that

[craggy wadi]

i really like that. thats how laptop shopping should be for every manufacturer

[blissful current]

Ikrrrr

[craggy wadi]

instant bookmark. thanks

[dark mason]

Oui

Mine had one

[frozen gull]

Man 1000 dollars for a i5 16GB ram + 1TB hell naw

[tepid abyss]

SUIIIIIIIII

[frozen gull]

Yep

[dark mason]

Had to DM someone on LinkedIn to get classified information

[blissful snow]

Is it illegal to phishing for someone's background image or something not harm to practice social eng?

[dark mason]

And to trick someone into giving us their login

[dark mason]

Very questionable ethics

[blissful snow]

lol for practice

[dark mason]

If you want to practice stuff like manipulating people you should play werewolf

I am not even joking

[blissful snow]

What's that

[frozen gull]

They can sue u

Take consent

And do so

[dark mason]

Basically murder mystery between friends

[knotty valve]

Play prop hunt

[dark mason]

It improves your manipulation skills a lot

[dark mason]

Not useful for learning how to lie

[craggy wadi]

ive heard thats super fun

[bleak quartz]

Not illegal tho

[blissful current]

They ain't gaming laptops ofc

They do have DIY builds too ...u can put any component and build yourself...even the screen replacement is far too ez

[knotty valve]

The ultimate game of gas lighting your friend is prophunt

[dark mason]

Depends on the whole context

[blissful snow]

speaking of gas some nasty kid just farted

[dark mason]

It's on the very fine line of illegal

[bleak quartz]

Ofc but in general

[blissful current]

I had recently made a prop hunt game ...still a bit of WIP lol ...crossplay for pc mobile made using UE5

[knotty valve]

I just study behavioral science for this

[dark mason]

Like, you go to school for this or?

[frozen gull]

thinkpadssss

u have keyboard replacement

as well as components

[knotty valve]

Then again, my end goal for work definitely will leverage analysis of behaviours

[knotty valve]

You can study behavioural science without uni

[blissful current]

Ikr....Rich people stuff lol ...

[bleak quartz]

Y'all don't

?

[knotty valve]

There's lots of research papers and NHS docs on it

[dark mason]

We asked for a specific subject

[bleak quartz]

Do you not have psychology as a subject?

[dark mason]

No

[bleak quartz]

Tf

[dark mason]

I don't

But again, not even in highschool yet

But I doubt there is

[knotty valve]

Behavioral science is a very specific category of psychology

[bleak quartz]

What about philosophy?

[dark mason]

No

[knotty valve]

And isn't properly covered at all in basic psych classes

[bleak quartz]

Daymn what

You're missing on a lot of good stuff

[bleak quartz]

Yeah

[pliant onyx]

https://youtu.be/NLCzDcqZpLI
yall deserve to know

[slow cloud]

ayy i also did that last week to a laptop

it was fun

[knotty valve]

Human Behavioural Sciences encapsulates mathematical psychology, neuroscience, statistical psych, and clinical and social psych

It's very big topic and very fun

[dark mason]

My condolences btw

[slow cloud]

how protective is tryhackme on stuff like this? i found it another article explaining opencti

[blissful snow]

Were't you the one that said you were gonna setup arch?

like yesterday I think

[slow cloud]

i was and i did

not yesterday tho

[blissful snow]

I can tell 😂

[slow cloud]

i only have a DE and some tweaks and stuff nothing major yet

[blissful snow]

Nice

[worn thorn]

Goose on arch too soon.

[knotty valve]

Still good!

[worn thorn]

just need time to do it properly

[knotty valve]

Hacked account go brrrr

[slow cloud]

its a start

i messed around with themes and such but i gotta look into it a bit more

[blissful snow]

?

[slow cloud]

it does make it alot better

[knotty valve]

[blissful snow]

[warped hollow]

Hello everyone, Is there any way to replay the Hackfinity Battle CTF rooms again just for practice?

[knotty valve]

Counter Intel or Counter Terror

[slow cloud]

i dont know about the hackfinity battle but you should be able to reset rooms

i dont think you can

[warped hollow]

Ok thanks.

[blissful snow]

My amazon cart this time

[dark mason]

I don't recommend the pi zero w2

Get the one

[blissful snow]

Oh ok

What's wrong with the w2

[dark mason]

More community support

[blissful snow]

ahh

what about Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Board (3B+)

[severe cliff]

i recommend "banana pi m2 zero" since the AP6212 is able to change into monitor mode 😉

[tribal coyote]

Anyone here used VR&E to get started with a cyber security career and if so were you able to get a decent laptop through the program? I know probably not the greatest way to get started, but I'm a vet and giving the va a shot first. 😏

[slow cloud]

i dont know i an promote this but

new gta 6 trailer dropped

[slow cloud]

i have that one its pretty nice, idk what your use cases will be

[vast fox]

the first time I browse the tryhackme discord, gta vi trailer drops

I'll be here more often damn

[slow cloud]

you should be

[mossy river]

ayoo ty

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @slow cloud (current: #149 - 57)

[mossy river]

I've watched the trailer, happy for people to talk about it but avoid posting links as it contains some inappropriate scenes

Unfortunately YouTube does not restrict the trailer to 18+ hence the restriction

[slow cloud]

yeah thats why i asked

thanks

[crystal mauve]

Hey bot how did that assem game play out ?

[slow cloud]

Havent touched it yet

[rapid merlin]

Just found a new term “sneaker Net” never heard it before. Confirmed you all wear sneakers.

[blissful current]

GTA6 dropped Trailer-2

👀

[hearty otter]

Yeah i hacked the rockstar

[blissful current]

[hearty otter]

They tripping over not releasing trailers too much

[blissful current]

dont even have a PS5 ..gotta wait till idk 2027

[safe oxide]

[sick lance]

I recently finally upgraded my PS4 to the 5.

I was fed up spawning in a minute later on online games.

[blissful current]

last i had was a PS3

[blissful current]

[jade oar]

My sleep schedule is freestyle

[dark mason]

My sleep schedule is hybrid

[jade oar]

Ong it’s 10 pm I woke up at 8 pm it’s gg for me

[sick lance]

I play a mixture of both.

[echo wasp]

i have a fulltime job so my sleepschedule is "alright"

it used to be freestyle aswell

[dark mason]

Mine is freestyle only in the summer

[echo wasp]

in the weekend i try to make it hybrid but the wife forces it to be normal

[gusty inlet]

Creating a vulnerable VM for a work presentation. I should probably release it on THM after that. 👀

[dark mason]

Ooooo

is the referal program still active for tryhackme?

[mossy river]

Not anymore I'm afraid

[sour wraith]

I see

[dark mason]

Did it get abused?

[mossy river]

Nope 😄

[amber glen]

Thanks you. Yeah I kind of figured that - but it's elusive to me what the actual target is https://tryhackme.com/room/burpsuiteom

Usually means you need to hit the friendly green deploy button

[gusty inlet]

Trailer contains inappropriate content. Not sure if you want to share it here.

[hallow hazel]

oh god.. I just want to play fallout 4 so bad, but I get this weird feeling in my frontal lobe, which forces me to close it..

[hallow hazel]

so what do you guys think about the GTA VI trailer 2?

[blissful current]

which ones ?

[blissful current]

https://tenor.com/view/laptop-smoking-fire-burning-lag-gif-19373925

[blissful current]

YT likes to restrict the genuine content and let inappropriate shit on Trending

[simple epoch]

Do i get chocolate in the end ?

[blissful current]

Yes

[modern fox]

u get charlie

This purhaps make it harder to escalate in Ubuntu: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/adopting-sudo-rs-by-default-in-ubuntu-25-10/60583

[severe cliff]

i cleaned this URL to "https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/adopting-sudo-rs-by-default-in-ubuntu-25-10/60583" because nobody needs a fbclid (Facebook Click Identifier) -.-

[blissful current]

War mock drills for civilians starting..demn

[crystal moss]

Sorry, did not think about it..

[blissful snow]

quick question is fuzzing allowed when they said no brute forcing?

[gusty inlet]

Fuzzing is also a kind of BF.

What I mean by that is that both do spam attempts.

[blissful snow]

okk

[vestal bone]

Guys someone explain this

[pallid lotus]

Good luck. Wait time is about a year right now

[vestal bone]

How does this have 343K views

But 2M likes

What the fuck

[silver sky]

The view counter sticks for a little while. It's an antibotting technique

[naive violet]

And also distributed systems are hard

[pearl sonnet]

@sick lance Plz dont kick me for pinging you

"Your Discord account is already linked with a token. If you wish to update your token, please contact a moderator."

[cerulean aurora]

I have a CSV file that contains information about my team, and I would like to use artificial intelligence (AI) to create a pie or bar chat that shows who has and has not performed well.

[pearl sonnet]

sent

[naive violet]

Yikes

[silver sky]

Double yikes

[naive violet]

Excel doesn't require ai

[silver sky]

Also imagine holding information on people's performance

[cyan parcel]

that's common

[silver sky]

It literally goes against every bit of management training I've ever had 😂

PDRs do self reflection not statistics

[vestal bone]

I fucked it up, I just deleted my downloads directory by mistake

I only wanted to delete the first one but entered TAB twice and also deleted downloads

[pliant cairn]

hey hey people

[cyan parcel]

How do you rate your direct reports? and how do they rate you? Everything is self-reflection based?

[blissful snow]

damm

snapshot?

[vestal bone]

nope

that's fine I'll just make another one

[blissful snow]

What did you have in there

[silver sky]

Well management is a bit different. We get rated by the people we line manage through an anonymous survey.

But those on the ground get to self-reflect entirely.

[vestal bone]

do anyone know how to make firefox's downloads go directly into that directory?

[vestal bone]

just some reverse shells in php and some other things related to thm

so no big deal

[blissful snow]

ah ok

[vestal bone]

nvm I figured it out

[cyan parcel]

So your promotion cycle is based on employee self-reflection, same as your succession planning?

[silver sky]

I'll be honest, I don't know how the progression thing works 😂 you have to either have the qualifications beforehand or achieve them during probation and apply/interview for the new role

[gusty inlet]

RIP I guess.

[cyan parcel]

Someone must have data on employees performance to be able to create a succession planning and promotion cycle :)

[silver sky]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Someone upstairs probably

[wind lake]

[clear jackal]

Yeah, what's a promotion lol

[silver sky]

That too 😂

There isn't much progression

[clear jackal]

Promotion = new job for me

Or large pay raises

[blissful snow]

why does it feel like i can't imrpove now

[zenith fractal]

is portswinger's web-security good?

[blissful snow]

Their security or their tool?

[zenith fractal]

course

material

[blissful snow]

Yes in my opinion

[zenith fractal]

its not much advanced is it?

[blissful snow]

Matter of fact I'm actual about to do some challenges

[blissful snow]

Are you new?

[zenith fractal]

yea

i mean not totally new

i got the basics

[blissful snow]

You know the basics ?

[zenith fractal]

yeah

[blissful snow]

Ah ok

Yeah they have walk thros

[zenith fractal]

i am wanting to get into medium and advanced stuffs

[blissful snow]

They teach you the topic and walk you thro a box, then you do it on your own.

[zenith fractal]

ah okay

[blissful snow]

Also I recommend picoctf.

Tryhackme also have hard walk thro rooms.

[carmine shuttle]

Hello I’m thinking about going back to school. I’m like halfway done, and was thinking about doing cybersecurity. Not sure how the market is and how anything is so not sure what direction to take but I’m doing the try hack me courses

[frozen gull]

😦

[carmine shuttle]

Any advice would be appreciated I really enjoy the coding and vulnerability aspect of cybersecurity but kinda lost on what to do

[frozen gull]

Just having try hack me wouldn't help

[blissful snow]

When you say direction do you mean cybersec jobs or jobs in general?

[frozen gull]

Only if landing a job was so easy

U gotta go all out on cybersec

Get certified

Apply intership

[carmine shuttle]

Yeah either a cybersecurity job or computer job in general

[frozen gull]

I mean yeah

[zenith fractal]

which certificates

[frozen gull]

There r quite a lot

[blissful snow]

https://tryhackme.com/careers/quiz

[blissful snow]

You don't need to.

[carmine shuttle]

I’m just kinda lost, I’m kinda just doing this cause I like computers a lot and enjoy like seeing problems as a puzzle

[frozen gull]

For internships linkedin in a solid source

I mean at end of the day u gotta show me what uve learnt

Or done

So without certificate and just claiming is kinda detrimental

[carmine shuttle]

Okay I’ll take it rn

[zenith fractal]

i guess ctf platforms ranking helps with portfolio as well?

[blissful snow]

Ok.

[carmine shuttle]

Right now I’m kinda just doing this cause it’s kinda fun to learn new things

[frozen gull]

Ys even tryhackme does rarely

[carmine shuttle]

But I kinda wanna make a career out of it cause I kinda feel like I’m doing nothing

[frozen gull]

It doesn't have high brand value yet compared to HTB

[carmine shuttle]

And don’t wanna end up at like a minimum wage job

[frozen gull]

But ys it does help

[carmine shuttle]

Kinda wanna be able to provide for my parents

[frozen gull]

Bro

Learn programming

Easy jobs

And data structures

And algorithms

[carmine shuttle]

I heard the job market is hard

That’s why I was kinda looking into cyber security

[blissful snow]

It is easy but Choose something that you would actually like to do.

[frozen gull]

Obviously computers is kinda stacked

[frozen gull]

Cybersecurity included is stacked

[carmine shuttle]

I kinda know the basics of programming cause I did some of it at school

[grizzled shuttle]

Hello

[blissful snow]

hi

[frozen gull]

Try esc

Electronics and comms

[carmine shuttle]

Okay let me take the quiz and see what it says

[frozen gull]

Cuz it's kinda blooming rn

Starlink

EVs

[carmine shuttle]

Electronic and comms?

[frozen gull]

Electronics and communication

[carmine shuttle]

What are all these new words lmao

[frozen gull]

It's a subject similar to computer science

Or u can try mechatronics

Mechanical + electronics

[zenith fractal]

does bug hunting draws attention of companies and increases oppurtunities?

i am tryna focus on web sec and bug hunting

[carmine shuttle]

Do those jobs require
Coding or is it a completely different thing

[frozen gull]

Bro 1000s of people try on a single bug hunt but the first one recieves the cash price

[carmine shuttle]

I don’t mind learning anything

[frozen gull]

It's not so easy

[blissful snow]

Working on a good CV or profolio website.

That's what I'm doing.

[frozen gull]

The hardened ones just grab it all

[carmine shuttle]

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it

I asked another discord and they kinda judged me for it lmao

[frozen gull]

No

[blissful snow]

Ah sorry to hear.

[frozen gull]

There is bare minimum a

[zenith fractal]

like what to put on portfolio expcept certificates

[frozen gull]

Coding

[carmine shuttle]

How about math, I enjoy math too

Coding and math is something I’m decent at

[frozen gull]

There r different certificates for different jobs like

[carmine shuttle]

I kinda wanna explore from there

[blissful snow]

Projects, achievement, etc

[crystal mauve]

Bug hunting is a psyop

[blissful snow]

crypto

[frozen gull]

For offensive security u have HTB pen test+ , COMPTIA security+ , jr pentester certificate

[carmine shuttle]

Like the money?

[blissful snow]

no

[frozen gull]

And for defensive u have SOC 1 and 2

Depends on what job u need

[blissful snow]

cryptography

[frozen gull]

Hell no

[blissful snow]

Look into that maybe you would like it

[frozen gull]

It's fucks my beain

[blissful snow]

Oh no I meant Polkadot

lol

[frozen gull]

[blissful snow]

same here

[frozen gull]

No

Don't make him suffer

For nothing

[blissful snow]

I mean he said he like coding and math

[frozen gull]

Even I do coding and math

After cryptography I feel like doing meth

So no

Not recommended 10/10

[zenith fractal]

do yall got a map kinda thing to map out all the topics for offensive sec in a order

[frozen gull]

See this dude on yt his name is networkchuck

He has many good roadmaps

[zenith fractal]

i saw his

many contents

[zenith fractal]

yeah I got pretty good idea from it too

[carmine shuttle]

I took the quiz got red teamer

[frozen gull]

Bro

[blissful snow]

Nice

[frozen gull]

Then do pentestibg

[carmine shuttle]

Pentesting?

[frozen gull]

Easy peasy

Yes

[patent quest]

Yea, really popular in the space
He has been for a while though

[frozen gull]

Offensive security is red teamming

[carmine shuttle]

Is it inflated

[frozen gull]

No

It's hard

[carmine shuttle]

I’m kinda overthinking about the job market

[frozen gull]

So not many do it

[blissful snow]

???

[carmine shuttle]

Yeah I like doing things that are hard, sorry if that kinda sounds like an ego thing

[patent quest]

Checked his LinkedIn profile, he didn't really have much in terms of certifications, I mean I've seen better portfolios

[frozen gull]

I mean shi pentester come under offensive security

Red teammers

[carmine shuttle]

I’m kinda hard headed so if I’m bad at something I kinda keep doing it until I learn

[frozen gull]

Learn linux tools

[blissful snow]

Yeah

[frozen gull]

And operating

[carmine shuttle]

So pentesting then

[frozen gull]

Especially kali

[blissful snow]

I would say red teaming is harder

[carmine shuttle]

Okay I’ll learn Linux

[dark mason]

Wrong

[frozen gull]

And try to understand how to dig in vulnerable sites

[carmine shuttle]

Wait so pentesting and red teaming aren’t the same thing

[blissful snow]

Please do it definitely needed

[blissful snow]

No

[dark mason]

No

Pentesting is just finding vulns and reporting them immediately

Red teaming is acting as a threats actor

Gaining full control over the system

[carmine shuttle]

Pentesting sounds more fun to me

Both actually sound interesting

[frozen gull]

It's hard asf ain't gonna lie

[carmine shuttle]

I don’t mind the challenge

[blissful snow]

I love red red teaming pen testing sound boring

[frozen gull]

Start with the easiest script kiddie stuff most ppl hate them but that's how u start off

[upper knoll]

thats where i am rn!

[carmine shuttle]

Why do you like red teaming more than pen testing

[upper knoll]

skiddies unite!

[frozen gull]

Understand tools is a good thing

[dark mason]

@blissful snow what did I get wrong here?

[frozen gull]

Wireshark

Nmap

[upper knoll]

and not just how to use them the way they actually execute what they are doing

[carmine shuttle]

So if I’m a go this route what should I kinda do besides using tryhackme and Linux

[blissful snow]

I just don't like pentesting as much as like red teaming lol

[frozen gull]

Download kali in vmbox and also try running mrrobot

From vulnerable sites

And try penetrating it

[mossy river]

Don’t advertise here please

[frozen gull]

If u don't understand just youtube it

[blissful snow]

loool

[frozen gull]

U have tutorials on kloepatrix mrrobot etc

[wind lake]

start there. basic networking is good

[frozen gull]

CCNA goated

[carmine shuttle]

Okay I’ll look up all the stuff

[frozen gull]

[wind lake]

SUBWAY FOOTLONG NOW ONLY 8.99

[blissful snow]

I wanted to stuff this part but I'm glad I didn't

skip*

[wind lake]

yep very important

[zenith fractal]

woah lain

[carmine shuttle]

Im a look up a video on pentesting and reteaming and see what i like

[frozen gull]

Networking is brainrot especially wireshark

[blissful snow]

Nah its easy

[wind lake]

what

[frozen gull]

No I have fear of digits

[carmine shuttle]

Can I ask if I should go back to school and finish my degree. I kinda just wanna do it to prove to myself I can

[frozen gull]

I get dizzy staring at ips

[carmine shuttle]

Just wanna hear other people’s perspectives

[frozen gull]

Yes

[wind lake]

wrong sector of work then

[wind lake]

whats the degree?

[blissful snow]

I think it would help you career wise

[wind lake]

how close are you to finishing?>

[carmine shuttle]

Cybersecurity or not sure

[sick lance]

If it's financially viable, and helps with jobs, why not?

[frozen gull]

3 more strokes

[carmine shuttle]

I’m 2 years in with up to calc 3 and linear algebra done

[blissful snow]

you can't be scared of ip's there's a lot more numbers than that

[wind lake]

not cool

[blissful current]

lol nice , new pfp

[carmine shuttle]

But I’m not sure what major to do

[frozen gull]

Mita but cool

[blissful snow]

That's crazy 💀

[carmine shuttle]

Would a cyber security major be the best or are there others

[frozen gull]

Bro uk what's the best

If u wanna earn money

[wind lake]

computer science would be better as a foundation

[frozen gull]

On a real note

Join a startup

It could be any

In which u feel it might grow

[shut hawk]

[wind lake]

[frozen gull]

Cuz my friends started one dudes are ballin rn

[carmine shuttle]

Damn congrats

[frozen gull]

I'm here doing C language

Pointless.

[carmine shuttle]

They’re living the dream

[blissful snow]

Your gonna have brainrot ater this

[dark mason]

Why?

[carmine shuttle]

As long as you enjoy what you’re doing I think you’re doing well

[wind lake]

hahahahahah

[wind lake]

uhuh

[zenith fractal]

is there any material suggestion for learning offensive sec

[dark mason]

As a plane enthusiasts, I feel this

[frozen gull]

Businesses are solid

[wind lake]

CRTO

[carmine shuttle]

So a computer science degree you think would be better

[dark mason]

(I love the a20)

[zenith fractal]

what

[frozen gull]

B2 bombers

Better

[wind lake]

certified red team operator. if you have some cash

[frozen gull]

Computer science is stacked

[blissful snow]

This is my goal

[zenith fractal]

nah bud I am broke-

[frozen gull]

Jobs are low paying

Here

Idk bout elsewhere

[blissful current]

build a startup , be innovative >

[wind lake]

i have it i havent completed the cert yet though. its really good

[frozen gull]

It required people and resources

[carmine shuttle]

There’s so many suggestions kinda don’t know what to do

[wind lake]

dont listen to all of them

lmao

not all suggestions are equal

[blissful current]

depend on countries

[frozen gull]

I mean rn every country is working on creating AI so they need people to employee

[zenith fractal]

okay

[zenith fractal]

😭

[blissful current]

meanwhile our country is working on making software engg slaves for other countries as cheap labour

[frozen gull]

Sadly

People here lack their own thought process

[zenith fractal]

i am currently onto these three, THM, HTB and Portswigger

[zenith fractal]

which country

[blissful current]

india

[carmine shuttle]

Are you talking about me

I’m just trynna learn 😔

[blissful current]

[carmine shuttle]

Oh what’s your country

[frozen gull]

[frozen gull]

[frozen gull]

Computer sector bloom happened decades ago I agree it was a high paying job rn it's just stacked till brim and people are still pushing towards it

[frozen gull]

I assume there might be a shutdown

[onyx timber]

Hii

[blissful current]

Blackouts , Air Raid Sirens etc will be there

[frozen gull]

I live close to military headquarters I won't be sleeping ig

[onyx timber]

Do you guys attended Cyber security events recently??

[blissful current]

for all civilans nationwide tho ..not just military lel

[blissful current]

CTFs ..yes

[onyx timber]

Where was it

[blissful current]

not any conferences sort of event tho

[blissful current]

online usually and offline local regions

[onyx timber]

I also wanted to attend events offline but there are not happening this month's need to wait ig

[patent quest]

Took the quiz and the result was Security Engineer

Well, seems I tend towards the good guys lol

[grand wraith]

I got red team on mine, but feel like it doesn't matter without paying for the Security+ cert.

[blissful current]

ya its hard to find offline ones sometimes

[grand wraith]

I like learning the info, but holy crap does it suck actually trying to market to someone in HR that wouldn't know a switch from a gateway

[onyx timber]

Ya totally

[blissful current]

im going for CRTP Cert+exam

will buy it in few days

[grand wraith]

The financial gatekeeping in the IT industry is disgusting.

[blissful snow]

Their all good.

[blissful current]

exactly, as long as they don't do the "bad" stuff

[blissful snow]

Nah I'm joking its editied

I made it to troll

[grand wraith]

Some folks need to see that though

[blissful snow]

Yeah lol

[blissful snow]

Sadly some people don't report it, and never get their account back.

[grand wraith]

Zuck doesn't care

[blissful snow]

And for some reason they report it here.

[grand wraith]

That's the other side of it. The reporting tool is probably automated with trash code so I bet you half the reports get lost in the mix of false-positives and, again, we're talking about FB/IG reporting tools. I'm not calling it Meta. It's a stupid name.

[blissful snow]

lol

[grand wraith]

That whole system has been compromised for almost a decade by national and international agencies at this point. It's probably just one big honeypot for multiple governments. We all know this.

[rapid merlin]

I was recommended to use inet or wireshark? What’s the preferred standard?

[grand wraith]

Wireshark is a better starting point imo.

[blissful snow]

I never heard of inet

[rapid merlin]

I see, I wanted it for a proxy setup to IOS

[raven nimbus]

Hello

[rapid merlin]

Neither had I until just now 🤣

[blissful snow]

It depends because some tools have different function and are bulleted different

builded*

[blissful current]

same lol

[grand wraith]

@rapid merlin you can't directly proxy data from Wireshark to IOS. You're gonna wanna use a proxy server and configure from there.

[blissful snow]

lol

[rapid merlin]

Thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @grand wraith (current: #2858 - 1)

[sick lance]

Definine gatekeeping.

In a financial sense.

[grand wraith]

They're just super expensive for the most part for something that's pass/fail. Some of us literally will have one shot with money like that and if it goes south, well, it's back to the helpdesk/call center mines.

[rapid merlin]

One of the logs was “Cannot expand shortened URL: example”

[sick lance]

What are you doing?

[blissful current]

HAX

[grand wraith]

@sick lance I'm just salty today so don't mind me

[rapid merlin]

Looking at networking logging tools to find out who’s sending me these stupid redirects

There was 16 HTTP redirects

[grand wraith]

Who'd you piss off?

[blissful current]

[rapid merlin]

Someone who deserved it

Lmao

[blissful current]

||Government||

[rapid merlin]

I don’t argue with no one unless they start some shit

Anyways

[blissful snow]

15 redirects are crazy.

[blissful current]

16*

[rapid merlin]

16*

[grand wraith]

The sky isn't affected by clouds that pass by. I live by that quote so as to not get sent 16 redirects.

Life is easier that way.

[rapid merlin]

You beat me to it lol

[raven nimbus]

Is there anyone who did Ejpt,oscp or cpts?

[sick lance]

Just ask your questions. 😄

I doubt it's the government.

[rapid merlin]

It’s true and I was like that for a long time but some things can’t be unseen.

[grand wraith]

And some things get your door kicked down. Trust me.

[blissful current]

ofc ...

[rapid merlin]

I doubt it too.

[raven nimbus]

Did you did any cert?

[sick lance]

And if it was, a public discord server is the last place you'd be present in.

[sick lance]

Wat?

[grand wraith]

It's either a skid or an identity thief.

[rapid merlin]

I grew up in east London, I’ve had bricks thrown at me. I’m sure I’ll be fine.

[grand wraith]

Not the brick!

[blissful current]

btw have you completed any certs/exams ?

[blissful snow]

I went thro that aleast 200 times

/j

[grand wraith]

ya'll out here doing the most lmao

[blissful current]

like OSCP, CSCP, CPTS etc etc etc

[blissful snow]

I completed etc

[rapid merlin]

Fr

[blissful current]

[raven nimbus]

Yes that's what I'm asking

[rapid merlin]

You from south London? Double it and pass it onto the next lol @umbral patio

[grand wraith]

@rapid merlin I just moved from St. Louis, Missouri (see: US Murder Capitol) so I get sketchy living spaces.

[blissful current]

[raven nimbus]

[blissful snow]

Are you asking me ?

[blissful current]

[blissful current]

[sick lance]

Bach

[grand wraith]

I'm just trying to find resources to get financial aid/affordable training outside of THM if anyone knows of any that are Stateside.

[sick lance]

I'm not doing a masters unless I 100% need to.

[blissful current]

i c ...cool ...planning to do any afterwards?

[raven nimbus]

Any certs ?

[blissful current]

im about to start with CRTP in few days...will be my first

[rapid merlin]

You said 200 times. It was a London joke because south is still 10X worse than east.

[blissful current]

damn

[blissful snow]

oh no im not near london

[sick lance]

Maybe pt1 by thm.

[blissful snow]

pt1?

ohh

[blissful current]

ah well ...nice

[blissful current]

[blissful snow]

[raven nimbus]

[blissful current]

[blissful current]

[blissful current]

[lost osprey]

Haven't seen you guys mention the CompTIA certs, are they not that useful?

Was thinking of getting my A+/Net+/Security+

[rapid merlin]

Looks like someone may have or had a configuration profile in my phone. To create a MDM environment ? Sounds about right.

[blissful snow]

It is but we were talking about offensive certs.

[blissful current]

better to let someone who has done those certs answer coz am not sure

[rapid merlin]

I wish I had mayonaise

[lost osprey]

Oh ok apologies

[rapid merlin]

🥲 Mayo

[blissful snow]

Oh no its ok

[blissful current]

[blissful snow]

You can talk about it I was just tell you why didn't didn't mention it.

We were also talking about networking but no one brought the cert up

[blissful current]

i have to make my portfolio site ffs....its too annoying

[lost osprey]

oh ok got it

[sick lance]

You'd need to set that up yourself.

That can't be done remotely without you interacting with it.

[rapid merlin]

A configuration profile stub file was missing

[sick lance]

Doesn't matter.

With apple you'd need to accept it,

To set up a supervising MDM, you'd need to either factory reset the phone, or physically have the handset, and have an ABM.

[rapid merlin]

Only recently learnt that my mum had also linked all of my accounts to hers behind my back. She also nicked a phone and wiped it. 😆 remote management does sound like her.

And her brother.

[sick lance]

If somebody can do that, I'd have a look at your own security.

[rapid merlin]

She was basically linking Google accounts.

I found out the phone she wiped had been in Manchester and Folkestone

[sick lance]

Again, that would need your handset and password.

Can't be done remotely.

[rapid merlin]

I’ll figure it out eventually 🙃 Ten years later

[sick lance]

Both accounts and passwords would be needed, and the phone would let you know it's being remotely managed.

[rapid merlin]

If the file is missing, could it be corrupted ? Maybe changed in some way

[sick lance]

If that's missing the app won't work.

[rapid merlin]

Well that’s what it says in the log

Two configuration profiles

Maybe there’s only supposed to be one ? And one is a malicious one

https://tenor.com/view/why-monkey-what-huh-confused-gif-3006908007927048834

The second configuration profile says no configuration profile to analyze

Just signed up for the OSINT webinar 🥳
