general

[blissful snow]

ohh

[mossy river]

Changing your password resets the token

[rapid merlin]

yeah but I thought the token would be revoke if I log out or something

[mossy river]

your token is generated from your email address and password

[slow cloud]

Move houses

[rapid merlin]

so same in between machines

[slow cloud]

Burn your old house down

[rapid merlin]

as long as the email and password is the same

the token stays the same

[mossy river]

Check your account's connections and unlink all of the bots in there

[blissful snow]

Nope.

[rapid merlin]

can't

[rapid merlin]

Yes leave no trace of crime

as soon as the bot start spam sending messages

your discord account get lock

you need to change password

and it removes all the devices

pretty unlucky

[mossy river]

Change the password?

[rapid merlin]

yeah

[sand trench]

can shadow recommend some occams laser

[blissful snow]

what is that

[rapid merlin]

Music ig

[slow cloud]

For sure

[blissful snow]

Oh I thought she responsed to lynux

[slow cloud]

Any one in particular

[sand trench]

music artist

[slow cloud]

Deficient injustice goes hard

[sand trench]

steps shadow would take to reclaim their discord account if it gets hacked:
change password
enable 2fa
check the connected devices list in settings
kick out all devices including your current one
login again

not nescarilly in that order

[mossy river]

2fa doesn't matter if you've been token jacked

[slow cloud]

Snall 90 minute drive

[sand trench]

true jabba

[slow cloud]

Meh

But darknet diaries dropped a new ep

[rapid merlin]

I say go for overkill, leave no traces of your existence

[slow cloud]

So life good

[sand trench]

but if shadow recalls correctly the discord token changes if you enable/disable 2fa

[blissful snow]

Eh just in case.

[sand trench]

can't check that easily anymore as discord has done a fine job of obfuscating access to developer tools

[blissful snow]

I also found out you can ip log with 2fa ( not gonna explain i dont wanna get mutted)

[mossy river]

You should have it enabled anyway, but if your account has been token jacked it's really not going to matter

Discord should have enabled their new recovery thing that automatically sets up 2fa if it was disabled

[blissful snow]

It lags so much fr me

[blissful snow]

Sites are starting to force users to use 2fa

But most people don't even know the passwords to their accounts, I was on the phone with a few friend and they all admitted to not know the password to the account their on (no password amanger)

[gusty inlet]

Should I have steak and fries or burger and fries?

[blissful snow]

burger imo

[mossy river]

There's actually a way to ensure your account doesn't get token jacked, but people don't realise how simple it is.

It's called prevention; don't download pirated software, don't download game exploits, don't click on links and do phishing awareness

[mossy river]

Steak

[rapid merlin]

Fries and fries

[gusty inlet]

Actually the steak does look awesome.

[blissful snow]

Basically don't click random shit lol.

[gusty inlet]

I'm going for steak, thanks!

[mossy river]

You can click on whatever you want, just don't log into anything and don't download stuff off the internet

[blissful snow]

Yeah.

[crude stump]

Execute to be exact

[blissful snow]

Like 5 of my friends logged into a discord phishing site.

[rapid merlin]

What about malicious text files

I created account on Z-lib

[crude stump]

Generally safe but they can have links in them or instructions that you follow which can be dangerous.

[rapid merlin]

Not dumb enough to follow instructions off the text files, rather than web

If I find something wrong I always check what would be side effect of me doing something stupid

[blissful snow]

Are you guiding the ohsint room @mossy river ?

[mossy river]

I have a friend that tried to download a completely obscure pirated version of software here needed for University and it turned out to be a steam account stealer. It was such a strange malware attack to specifically target steam users

[mossy river]

Nope, but if you tune in you'll find out who is

[blissful snow]

I would expect them to go for something more valuable.

[rapid merlin]

interesting

[blissful snow]

Ok I'm guessing your going to be there.

[crude stump]

Could be since uni kids like games too but idk

Or adult bots kids

[mossy river]

Steam accounts can be worth thousands, it just makes more sense to target something more mainstream

[rapid merlin]

I wanna be in today's ohsint

[blissful snow]

It should be an event tab at the top reight.

left*

[mossy river]

It's not university specific software, I doubt Uni students were their target audience

[rapid merlin]

I did register and forgot about it and planned to do something with someone at same time 😞

[blissful snow]

Oh dang.

[mossy river]

How are you going to tell them that you're busy? 😔

[rapid merlin]

why do you think my 2 discord account got used by a bot but not on the same day ?

[rapid merlin]

I can't, they have always been there for me when I needed them 😔

[gusty inlet]

Suddenly has extreme diarrhea.

Easy way out.

[mossy river]

because they usually sell the token in servers

[rapid merlin]

Then they would rush to my house 😔

[gusty inlet]

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-gif-13275937720596025856

[rapid merlin]

and why does discord store your token localy in plain text

for what use

[blissful current]

[mossy river]

It's used to authenticate your requests in the client

[rapid merlin]

So they can be stolen by others

Atleast encrypt it lel

[mossy river]

your question should be why doesn't discord use different tokens that expires or why don't they use another form of authentication or why don't they limit requests to the api instead of only legitimate users in the client?

to which I don't have an answer

[rapid merlin]

yeah I understand

[safe oxide]

Welp

[rapid merlin]

well I guess it's time to become paranoid now

[mossy river]

What would encrypting do? 🤔

[blissful snow]

They need to spy on you some type of way.

[rapid merlin]

Nothing

[safe oxide]

Yea nothin tbh

[rapid merlin]

Api would anyways decrypt

When sent

[safe oxide]

Hallo cultist

[rapid merlin]

Waste of time

[rapid merlin]

Good thing I don't use Discord Client

[blissful snow]

hi

[mossy river]

I love when I can't send 5 legitimate DMs via the client but someone who has taken my account can bypass 2FA and send 100s of DMs in a few minutes

[blissful snow]

web has token's...

[safe oxide]

Tokens are tokens lol

[rapid merlin]

wouldn't they be removed when I logout

[safe oxide]

Welp Chinese stuff works sometimes

[worn thorn]

cookies

[blissful snow]

They spying on you right now

[safe oxide]

If somthn already in your system then does it rlly matter

[rapid merlin]

It's okay, I don't do anything personal on discord :>

[rapid merlin]

Well, at that point, I use my skill of overkill

[dark mason]

They do limit api use

[blissful snow]

Fun fact someone used a phishing site to break out of jail.

[dark mason]

But often not enough to do anything

[mossy river]

They limit it by the account's token

However it takes a lot to limit it

[blissful snow]

I hope zoom is download by time the meeting starts

[mossy river]

it's difficult to find a balance between stopping an attacker and limiting a legitimate user

[rapid merlin]

Is web version bad?

[blissful snow]

For some reason it forces me to use 282340234234

the desktop version.

[rapid merlin]

Uh what's that

Your neighbours phone number??

[blissful snow]

My brain almost fell out of my head again.

[blissful snow]

lol no

[rapid merlin]

yeah but idk it would seem normal that both my token would have been sold at the same time

a 1 day interval is insane

[dark mason]

They could set a limit on api guild based if that makes sense eg (if they send 4/5 messages to the same channel they aren't rate limited, but if they send 4/5 messages to different people/servers/channels etc... then they do get rate limited)

[mossy river]

I can't tell you why it took a day to use your token, all I can do is give common reasons

[dark mason]

Not sure how easy that would be to implement

Most probably a headache tho

[rapid merlin]

idk I'm just really stressed

[mossy river]

they do this already, but it's not exactly with the API, they give you a catcpha to solve on the client

[rapid merlin]

I have my linux distro on my other nvme so it should be secure

[blissful snow]

Take a break.

[knotty pendant]

My nitro expired🫩😔

[blissful snow]

I never got a perfect time before

[blissful snow]

[dark mason]

Buy more then, ez fix

[knotty pendant]

[dark mason]

Or just get a few days free if u want to

[dark mason]

[knotty pendant]

How do i do that

[dark mason]

Discord quests

[knotty pendant]

And 80 cents non btc

[blissful snow]

free they said they charged me 1.99😭

[dark mason]

[dark mason]

And how much in btc?

[knotty pendant]

[dark mason]

[knotty pendant]

[dark mason]

Ok, then it's fine

[knotty pendant]

I have more money coming in

[dark mason]

Still very questionable practices though

Mmm

[safe oxide]

Flat bread with cheese and pepperoni

[dark mason]

[safe oxide]

Am not sayin it's bad

Am sayin that's why questionable prices

[visual hound]

omg,they managed to make crysis working on pizza too ?

that looks like they forgot to put ingredients on it

[rapid merlin]

Join random rich kids server, they do give away for 1 year nitro, that's how I got mine :>

[dark mason]

3$ isn't questionable for that

[safe oxide]

Welp

Would a vpn let me play on LAN without being on the same network?

If I host it myself

[stoic quarry]

Spit tunnel sure

Exclude the port/application

If you VPN to your own network then nothing will really change

[blissful current]

In the lightning session is it the old OhSint room? Then I think I can skip that

[stoic quarry]

Yes

[near sapphire]

number theory as in?

[thick oar]

ho

howdies!!

[sand trench]

anyone got a ugreen nas???

[near sapphire]

in general anything math related sage math is pretty good, numpy, and sympy is also nice

[stoic quarry]

No 🥲

Install WSL2 and get metasploit there imo

[sand trench]

enable wsl2
install kali linux under wsl2
tada you got metasploit

[sand trench]

alternatively get vmware or virtualbox and install kali linux in the virtual machine and then run it from there

mimikatz can be run from meterpreter shells in metasploit

[boreal scarab]

May I introduce you to Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee

[safe oxide]

Coffee was used extensively by Muslims in middle east to pray night prayer

[blissful current]

Just told that she has been working in THM for 2.5 yrs now

[thick oar]

actually they came from asia, and then other plants similar to tea were named tea.......even the STARLEAF TEA EXISTS

[safe oxide]

Before anyone. Else

Africans may also be themselves Asians lol

[boreal scarab]

Their origin is from Ethiopia

Also, coffee belt 😄

[thick oar]

🙂

[sand trench]

oh look antartica is the best place to grow coffee :D

[thick oar]

the belt is a bit nea home,i guess thats the reason why those guys had big noses

[sand trench]

sweden and finland are lucky we are not in the coffee belt

or all our farming land would be used for coffee

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/coffee-beans-national-geographic-caffeine-coffee-roast-coffee-gif-18612711

[blissful snow]

And if its a walk through.

I still have this heart years later I see

@pallid lotus why do I have this again?

how to spector KoTH Game

[fleet pivot]

I'm having a bad day.

and it started like 3 hours ago.

[dark mason]

What happened?

[dark mason]

There isn't a way to spectate a koth game from my knowledge

[tame nexus]

So... Came to ask, you do you guys find a little motivation when you are not feeling it?

[blissful current]

[tame nexus]

Let me explain xd

I really want to learn more in THM, but I am having issues to start doing things.

[blissful current]

i take a break , make myself indulged into something i like to do, so that my mind can be off the work n stress , then start fresh

[tame nexus]

I will try that :)

Thanks

[sturdy river]

well you dont really need motivation if you're actually interested in learning

[tame nexus]

That is just incorrect.

[sage kelp]

there is the option writing in FAQ but u didn't find a way

[dark mason]

Wrong?

[sturdy river]

so instead of doing it just for the sake of doing it, learn with a different persepective

[dark mason]

Burn out is a thing

[sturdy river]

i mean yee there are times you feel sluggish and tired

[dark mason]

Even if you enjoy doing what you do

[blissful current]

happens with me too ....but mostly for me its like once i start doing a room , i make my mind with positive thinking and dedication and a goal to finish the amount of rooms or learn something new

[sturdy river]

but i believe discipline is needed, ofc dont work yourself too much

[blissful current]

and do keep making notes ...helps in understanding things better when u make notes and also stuff goes in head for once

[tame nexus]

I felt like I might overdid it a little, in 4 days I did 500 events...

[deft quest]

Please is this still on?

[tame nexus]

I was trully enjoying it. However, now I am feeling a lil tired

[deft quest]

I’m trying to join but it says webinar is expired

[sturdy river]

then take a break and relax

[blissful current]

keep the pace that feels good for u...take breaks , stay hydrated , dont rush things

[tame nexus]

Those are some really nice words to hear. Thank you!

[sage kelp]

[blissful current]

@dark mason Sorry

All good lol

[earnest vault]

Don't ban me

[sturdy river]

[dark mason]

I ain't a mod + mods are very friendly as well

[earnest vault]

What do u feel about the ongoing war, I really wanna launch a NOT-PETYA style cyber attack against pakistan

[sage kelp]

[earnest vault]

I have, but it is asking me to join premium

[sturdy river]

i dont lol, sorry

[fleet pivot]

[sage kelp]

okay

[sturdy river]

well some rooms require premium but there are many free rooms as well

[earnest vault]

@sturdy river we both have touched grass

[blissful current]

Search on Github probably...u can find ... depending on what tools u need

[sage kelp]

they all are not too much advance

[spice minnow]

challenge room's servers are down or smth?

[earnest vault]

Well can I ask something not related to try hack me but cybersecurity related

[blissful current]

Use AI to make u some custom cheatsheets etc

[dark mason]

Yeah

[spice minnow]

can't connect challenge room's servers rn

idk why

[sick lance]

No politics please.

[spice minnow]

timeout

[earnest vault]

Can anyone teach me how to use kali linux

[earnest vault]

Sorry 😔

[spice minnow]

is challenge servers down??

[earnest vault]

?

[sturdy river]

try the linux fundamentals room

[sick lance]

Not that I know of.

[mellow narwhal]

New pfp, I see

[sick lance]

I was very kindly gifted nitro for a month, so my gif pfp and banner kicked in.

[earnest vault]

I can't find them

[earnest vault]

Lucky man

[spice minnow]

[sturdy river]

https://tryhackme.com/room/linuxfundamentalspart1

[sick lance]

Wdym server?

They're all independent machines.

[earnest vault]

I will do a few rooms and it will ask me for money

[blissful current]

[sick lance]

#site-support please.

[sick lance]

All paths are free to access, but contain subscription content.

[sturdy river]

yeah part 2 and 3 are for subscribers but you can watch the walkthrough on yt

[earnest vault]

? Wdym

[spice minnow]

i meant target machines

[earnest vault]

Ok

Thanks

Can I ask something?

[supple pulsar]

Ask away

[sick lance]

Paths will contain paid rooms.

[earnest vault]

I booted up a kali linux vm yesterday and I didn't find the shutdown button, I had to us virtual box to force shutdown it🤣

[supple pulsar]

terminal

Sudo poweroff

[earnest vault]

What is sudo

[sick lance]

Go to Vbox and right click turn off too.

[supple pulsar]

It’s a command that’s used to run something as another user “super user do <command>”

[sick lance]

I suggest you use Linux journey

[supple pulsar]

Defaults to root

[blissful snow]

What is this.

[blissful current]

pwn.college free place to learn basics of Kali linux and CTF stuff too

[sick lance]

Interactive website to learn Linux.

[blissful snow]

oh your completely new to linux once you find out how to use it your gonna love it.

[blissful snow]

ahh

[earnest vault]

Thank

[spiral dagger]

hey @sick lance can you help me to solving machine of HTB-------> DOG

I AM STUCK AT 1 POINT

[blissful current]

[sick lance]

No, please ask in HackTheBox discord please.

[sturdy river]

oml i wish I came across this before

[spiral dagger]

ooh sorry man my bad this is THM sorrry x2

[blissful current]

[blissful snow]

Youtube.

I think that the only advice I cna give.

[blissful current]

[sick lance]

Please don't.

We don't know which HTB machines that can be given help, I know some machines don't.

And since we can't enforce their rules.

[stoic quarry]

OverTheWire is pretty good once you've done LinuxJourney

[supple pulsar]

Nostalgia for Bandit Labs just washed over me when you mentioned OverTheWire

[stoic quarry]

They're fun

[blissful snow]

Ah I forgot about the retried machines I think that what their called aleast.

[plucky raven]

yo guys

[stoic quarry]

Didn't realize they rotate the flags every so often, makes sense lol

Ello

[plucky raven]

i got a question

[stoic quarry]

👋

What's up

[plucky raven]

can i get hacked from a simple voice call on discord

[stoic quarry]

No

[supple pulsar]

Unless they have a CVE no

[plucky raven]

CVE?

[stoic quarry]

Don't think someone's wasting a 0day on you, sorry chief

[supple pulsar]

Common Vulnerability and Exposure

[plucky raven]

aight

[supple pulsar]

It’s a database of software vulnerabilities

[stoic quarry]

Unless you clicked on a link/downloaded something then you're fine

[plucky raven]

i didnt

[stoic quarry]

Then you're fine. If someone is trying to tell you they hacked you just ignore them

[plucky raven]

when i came back from eating he just said "What is your favourite file"

[supple pulsar]

The real risk is social engineering, in this call did you DO anything that they told you to?

[plucky raven]

hell nah

i was eating and when he said that i left

[stoic quarry]

Why do you think you were hacked?

[supple pulsar]

“What’s your favourite file”

Imagine that comes up on the first date

[plucky raven]

idk i just wanted to confirm because he said what is your favourite file

[supple pulsar]

Undatables

[plucky raven]

so i just wanted to confirm if it is possible

[stoic quarry]

No

[plucky raven]

thank you for the help

[lethal kernel]

There was a Lightning session hack along this morning, for the Oshint room. They said the session was recorded and a link sent to our email, but I haven't got it. Anybody know where I might find that?

[sick lance]

It may not be released yet, let me check.

[rapid merlin]

Sorry to ask this again but when are the new rooms released

[blissful current]

every Friday

[sick lance]

Tuesday and Friday, sometimes every other day.

Walkthrough Tuesday, Challenge Friday.

Around 4Pm Tuesday, 7PM Friday.

[rapid merlin]

Thank you

[silver sky]

WOO! All clear from the doctor 👀

Fight camp time 💪

[rapid merlin]

So I’ve just missed one, do both days count for first blood ?

[sick lance]

Only Friday rooms have bloods.

And sometimes they don't.

[rapid merlin]

Ah okay, does it say if it does on announcements ?

[sick lance]

No. 🙂

[blissful current]

And Then Jaxafed will come and eat that First blood

almost Every room i go i see his name xD

[rapid merlin]

good evening

[rapid merlin]

Ah okay

[sick lance]

I've never gotten blood, but I've came second a few times.

[rapid merlin]

I’ve not seen this persons name tbh

[sick lance]

They're not too active in the server.

[rapid merlin]

Fair enough. I’ve been doing some rooms

[blissful current]

[rapid merlin]

I’m counting up my points everyday 🙃

[rapid merlin]

Damnnnnn

That’s crazy

[blissful current]

even in the latest rooms ..like that moebius one

[rapid merlin]

👀

[blissful current]

idk he literally completed that within minutes

[sick lance]

I can't go for bloods unless I've never tested the room

[blissful current]

crazy skilled

[rapid merlin]

Spooky

[blissful current]

wish i become like that soon some day

motivation

[rapid merlin]

I wish I could too.

For me it’s really overwhelming with all the knowledge that’s got to be taken in

[sick lance]

Notes are important, I know it's over said.

[blissful current]

for me too ...till my current rank i did what i already knew so i jumped ranks quicker ...but now the stuff im going thru are a bit new to me so my pace has slowed down ...but its good

yup . always making notes

[rapid merlin]

I like notes and writeups but only to myself.

[blissful current]

even for challenges while doing them

[sick lance]

Oh @supple pulsar whilst you're here.

You went to Cali?

Or go?

[vestal bone]

It didn’t work

[rapid merlin]

When I started I didn’t know anything so it has been a process.

[blissful current]

for me too , not on THM tho ...coz i got to know about these platforms ...well recently but never too late i guess
had gone thru some simpler/cheaper cost/free courses to learn the basics ...took some time processing it all in the start too

[supple pulsar]

Would be absolutely hilarious if someone sat on a 0day purely so they win boxes

[supple pulsar]

I went to abertay

[sick lance]

Awk, Must have been somebody else in this server, sorry.

Please stop advertising in this server, it's in our rules you agreed to adhere to whilst you're here. @sudden crypt

[wind lake]

AYE its NAEEEEKROTEK

[supple pulsar]

[supple pulsar]

Yea thankfully I went to Abertay and not Cale

Whoever did that, peace be upon you brave warrior

[sick lance]

Me. 😎

[supple pulsar]

UNLUCKYYYYY

Wait when did you graduate?

[wind lake]

[grand jetty]

Hi, I need some help. I can’t connect the VPN to the Kali machine

[supple pulsar]

Do you know a guy called Charlie who graduated in 2023?

[sick lance]

Nah, I didn't start until 2023.

[supple pulsar]

Ah fair play 😅

[noble kayak]

hi, i am lerner and lerning about cybersecurity while working in same filed

[supple pulsar]

My mate went to Cale then went off to work for HSBC in their Security Research/in house Red Team

[sick lance]

Neat. 😄

[sick lance]

#site-support

[wind lake]

[supple pulsar]

[wind lake]

ah

[supple pulsar]

Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation.

Or otherwise known internally as

How Simple Becomes Complicated

[dark mason]

I hate stego so much

[blissful current]

i enjoy doing those type of challenges in CTFs lol

[wind lake]

stego stego wont be able

[supple pulsar]

When you realise the power of stego, you will feel differently

Shellcode smuggling in images GO!

Custom loader to extract the shellcode and process inject into notepad process GO

[sick lance]

Are you doing madness?

[wild bloom]

I'd like to share that stego was one of the things that got me interested in cybersecurity

[supple pulsar]

We love doing a madness

[supple pulsar]

That’s your hacker origin story

Hiding things in other things

[wild bloom]

I remember being so fascinated I immediately installed steghide on my debian wsl and tried it out for myself 😆

[blissful current]

ikrrr...currently on whatsapp Stego scams are going on too nowadays in our country

[supple pulsar]

It’s extremely difficult to detect especially if you come up with your own stego algo

[blissful current]

they'll send a photo saying its a missing person if u know
Opens image and boom , money gone

ofc

[supple pulsar]

Must be more than just stego going on there

[unborn glacier]

Where should I post it?

[blissful current]

ask @sick lance

[unborn glacier]

I'm going afk for about 10-20 minutes but I can forward you the email if you want @sick lance or send you a screenshot with the embedded link

[blissful current]

ya right

[sick lance]

Send me a screenshot please.

[unborn glacier]

I'll DM it to you now

[rapid merlin]

This room has taken a while 🙃

[blissful current]

which one are u doing rn?

[rapid merlin]

A basic one

[blissful current]

still ...whats it called?

[rapid merlin]

Hashing passwords

[blissful current]

ahh nice nice

[rapid merlin]

It’s hashing basics, if I find something boring it takes me forever

[blissful current]

happens with me too lol

[rapid merlin]

And everything I enjoy passes me by

[wild bloom]

Same feeling on The Sticker Shop right now, I just started learning XSS so it's taking me a little while to figure this one out and I don't wanna read writeups just yet

[leaden shale]

Can someone tell me how to learn English quickly?

[blissful current]

[wind lake]

be around people who speak it

[supple pulsar]

Real statements have been made

[blissful current]

probably by speaking with someone on a regular basis

[wild bloom]

^^^ this and applies to any language tbh

[blissful current]

[rapid merlin]

Yawninggg 😑

Last question

[wild bloom]

I was studying Japanese in a language school for a year and my skills on the language grew exponentially when I actually stopped being introverted and started talking to Japanese people

[blissful current]

[blissful current]

i failed JLPT Twice coz i had no one to talk to by few points

[wild bloom]

I went from only knowing the basics to being able to go around by my own and holding conversations in a year it was crazy.

[blissful current]

...i gave up

[wild bloom]

That's alright it really is a difficult language to learn that even some Japanese people find it difficult themselves

[rapid merlin]

Ah finally all cryptography rooms done 🥹

[steep pulsar]

Hello guys, Today i accidently missed the Lightning Lessons: Oh-SINT Hack-a-long webinar at 04:00 PM (London time). Is there a way to watch a saved replay or maybe someone recorded it? Thanks for replies 😄

[sick lance]

I've asked for a staff update on that.

None yet.

[steep pulsar]

you're answering to me?

[blissful current]

yes he is

Question for everyone: When is it the right time to read writeups? Like imagine you're doing a room and you really can't figure it out, when do you give up and start reading writeups?

[sick lance]

exegol seems interesting, can't use with my vpn for thm which is annoying.

[rapid merlin]

I’ve got mostly red team stuff left on this path…

I’ll do it last

[supple pulsar]

Aye

[sick lance]

Never, I suffer.

[rapid merlin]

😆

[hallow sentinel]

NEVER

[pallid lotus]

I mean, feel free to yeet it lmao

Not like I can add it back anymore

[sick lance]

You can't.

[crystal mauve]

Just don’t get stuck for more than 45 minutes , all opinion though

[pallid lotus]

Heh, I was actually just about to DM you to ask you to do that

[rapid merlin]

You can also just watch YouTube videos on the topic. Yesterday I watched a guy talk about VIM for twenty minutes.

[wild bloom]

alright never it is

[sick lance]

https://tenor.com/view/think-use-your-head-clever-be-wise-gif-8351934706222928794

[hallow sentinel]

never back down 💪

[wild bloom]

yep just curious on everyone else's opinion on the topic since I feel like it's cheating but I hear people saying it's okay as long as you don't rely on it

[hallow sentinel]

no but all jokes aside u learn way more by just studying around the topic off the room then just looking at a write up

[hallow sentinel]

if you do it once its most likely youll start to rely on it i think

[sick lance]

Oops

[hallow sentinel]

cuz its just easy

[sick lance]

https://www.techradar.com/news/new-research-reveals-surfshark-turbovpn-vyprvpn-are-installing-risky-root-certificates

[hallow sentinel]

but idk im pretty new to tryhackme its just based on experience from studying cyber overall

[blissful current]

once i try everything i know or could do ...and still not be able to figure out ..only then i open writeups

[hallow sentinel]

thats pretty fair ig

[supple pulsar]

I knew it wouldn’t be that easy

[shut hawk]

❤️

[supple pulsar]

Oh there we go

Double hearts

hello

[supple pulsar]

@sick lance Glad to know I’m loved in the community

[wind lake]

we need a half heart to indicate youve taken damage in battle

[pallid lotus]

God, everyone's doing that these days.
Ventoy got called out for it yesterday too.

[supple pulsar]

Lore accurate Glaswegian

[pallid lotus]

Hang fire on that

Next time I see him I'll slap him

Then you can drop a heart

[sick lance]

Best I can do.

[supple pulsar]

When’s that then babes, time and place meet you down the bins at 9 o’clock! (I will not be there)

Nooo, Exegol can't run the VPN.

[blissful current]

[copper umbra]

i know a guy saying he worked for ibm netflix nvidia. hehas a company which is fake his whole profile is fake can anyone here who knows about hacking investigate he says he is currently working with govt nic delhi

[sick lance]

No, as we're not hackers for hire.

If you feel like they're fake, report them and move on.

[copper umbra]

no no not for hire just to look at his profile he has like oscp exam passed nasscom nomination and thing idk about hacking so thats why people who know can look his profile

[sick lance]

Again, not the sort of thing we provide here.

Oh, Interesting, I can get the VPN running.

[crystal moss]

Weclome to the fun:)

[wet helm]

can you tell me which type of skill should i learn first like which path i go for first

[crystal moss]

Pre-Security is a good start!

[whole gazelle]

morning, any1 hopiin on vc?

[crystal moss]

good skills:

Crawl: You can't skip the basics, before you can walk you must must know how to crawl
Patience: It takes time to develop skills, sometimes a very long time. Patience is needed even if you have skills
Networking: IPs, ports, DNS, TCP/UDP, HTTP
Linux: CLI, file permissions, users, services, processes
Windows: Registry, file systems, users
Programming: Python and Bash
Web: HTML, JS, cookies, headers, forms,requsets,authentication etc
Security: Hashing, encryption, authentication

[sick lance]

That looks like ChatGPT.

[crystal moss]

is not, it is from my site

but yes i copy pasted it...:P

[blissful current]

[wet helm]

So first pre security and then others skills

[sand trench]

damn is alan wake annoying with finding where to go in chapter 2

ran around in circles for a solid hour

[echo sentinel]

I'll probs join in a second

[blissful current]

👀

[crystal moss]

Of course it depends on what you already know. If you have the basics of networking, servers, maybe Linux and a language like Python you can continue with a slightly more advanced path, but as I said, it depends on what knowledge you already have.

[sand trench]

also miss controls collectible checking system

[crystal moss]

@wet helm look at it can be good one to https://tryhackme.com/path/outline/beginner

[supple pulsar]

What attracted you to cyber security in the first place?

[blissful current]

isn't it decommissioned

[sand trench]

what is cyber security??
shadow only knows of computery security..
/jk

[sick lance]

gospod!

[wet helm]

okay👍

[sand trench]

i.e in nearly all instances the word cyber is used you can replace it with computery without harming the context

[crystal moss]

sorry did not know..

[crystal moss]

sorry , this is the one: https://tryhackme.com/path/outline/cybersecurity101

How are @sand trench today?

[sand trench]

enjoying dried strawberries chopped into cubes infused in a chocolate bar

[crystal moss]

Ok, nice! Just a question.. Why is there an cheese next to your nickname? Do you just like cheese or does it have a deeper meaning?

[sand trench]

shadow loves cheese
and also posts cheese of the day

[wet helm]

first of all i was in web development field and at that time i was never interested in cyber security stuff and also i used to play video games and then i downloaded a game from a website and that was a fucking malware and there was a note poped up on desktop that said if you want your data back and safe you have to pay 300 dollars at that time i was blown up then i reinstall the windows after this im attracted to cyber security and found the tryhackme website and now here on discordd

Fair enough so what about your experience flipped you to want to learn? Was it malware?

[rapid merlin]

Oh nvermind i wont bother translating it all 😭

[sand trench]

oof

Its alot to translate

Its about a guy looking for the light

@rapid merlin Bathing in the sauna - the song that won the Melodo festival, what is it like in Finnish?

[sick lance]

Yeah, postage is a bummer.

[onyx atlas]

Hello! Guys
I have some question .
I ‘ve started installed a virtual linux into a pendrive. And i dont know where and how to start my goal to become a pentester .
I learnd the basics of kali linux .
So basicly i dont know where to go and where to start learning and practicing !

[gusty inlet]

From which country will they be sent?

[rapid merlin]

I haven't heard of that

[mossy river]

Canada

[gusty inlet]

Oh explains the shipping.

[crystal moss]

Okay, hehe, maybe that's just as well 😛

[rapid merlin]

Oh wait like wym

Like a song

Or whats a sauna like

[sand trench]

saunas are nice

[rapid merlin]

I might just be too tired

😭

[sand trench]

until someone locks you inside

[rapid merlin]

Yeah

I go everyday

[wet helm]

nah i can't say that it was that malware but in past 1,2 months i have gained lot of interest in this field and want to learn some new things and skills

[sand trench]

in lack of translating the above... can you evaluate if this translation is good @rapid merlin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqi3ZcDF-U4

[rapid merlin]

sure

[crystal moss]

So it was a Finnish song that was used at the Swedish Melody Festival, it's called "Bada bastu" but they sing it in FinlandSwedish but it's in Finnish as the original..

[rapid merlin]

OHHH

KAJ

The finnish swedes that compete in eurovision

i haven't heard the original

[crystal moss]

why do you have to have it on a Live USB, can't you run Kali in a regular VM? Or in the worst case use THM AttackBox?!

[upper knoll]

#start-here will give you a good guide

[upper knoll]

Sometimes it’s worth carrying an OS on a drive

[rapid merlin]

@sand trench yeah its accurate

[cold brook]

Is it normal when starting out, everything seems really heavy and like will I get the hang of it?

[rapid merlin]

Everyone goes by their own pace

Start with the basics

[sand trench]

learn to take notes

[crystal moss]

Yes, of course. But he says he can't learn cybersecurity or do THM without... But that's not really the case.

[sand trench]

learn to teach your rubber ducky friend
alternatively your pet rock

[upper knoll]

It does not say that at all just says they want to know where to start and that’s what they have already

[cold brook]

Ahh okk

🌌

[cold brook]

I've actually never taken notes 😭, not even when I was doing school and I still passed with great grades

[rapid merlin]

Honestly i dont take notes either

I think the idea of taking notes is allowing you to forget what you've learnt

on the basis of just re reading your notes

😭

[cold brook]

😭 tmm

When preparing for my exams I just spammed exam past papers

Practice

[sick lance]

Can't spam past papers in this field.

[cold brook]

Well phew 😅 I'm glad there's someone else out here who doesn't take notes

[cold brook]

😂

[crystal moss]

Oh, my God. I must be completely tired. I read what he wrote again and now I see that what I first understood is not at all correct.. I apologize for that!

[upper knoll]

All good

[rapid merlin]

I mean note taking doesn't work for me honestly

You'll forget some things that you dont frequently use and thats fine

[cold brook]

🤣 well I can do practical work

[rapid merlin]

Even the top hackers need to google some commands

:D

You cannot remember everything

Just need to learn what to look for

[blissful current]

[cold brook]

Yeahh one of my dad's friends used to work in the server of a building and he had YouTube ready on his laptop 😭

[crystal moss]

Sorry for my answer, I misunderstood/read it wrong so my answer came out crazy!

[rapid merlin]

😭

[cold brook]

Yeahh exactly, and the main things and frequently used and talked stuff will pop up all the time

[rapid merlin]

And youtube tutorials i really dont use them much

Its faster to look for docs/articles

[cold brook]

Hmmm interestingg

[onyx atlas]

No problem , all good

[rapid merlin]

For some hard topics i might need some further explanation but it really edpends on what you are doing

And some may learn better by watching someone do it

And honestly for etertainment i like watching/ listening to podcasts and videos about concepts etc

You'll learn to love doing this eventually :)

How did u learn the level 101 and soc1 in preparation for the exam? Sal1, did u just go through it or r there secrets 👀

[sand trench]

shadow personally does not do written notes but does audio notes and recording of teaching their rubber ducky friend

[rapid merlin]

Cyber Security 101?

[sick lance]

First bug bounty sent to THM... 👀

[cold brook]

Very interesting 🤔😎

[crystal moss]

Notes is very important. I use Obsidan all the time, even using some scripts that send certain outputs directly into a note

[onyx atlas]

So basicly just do tryhackme all day and it will teach me For a lot of things and i can learn a lot of things with free or better to subscribe

[sand trench]

oh you going for the bug hunter role on tryhackme???

[cold brook]

Yeahh, the prerequisites for the sal1

[rapid merlin]

Learning linux is very important

Honestly i should learn Windows better aswell

I lack alot on windows skills

But it makes me want to rage quit trying to do things on windows 😭

[cold brook]

🤣

I did these briefly

In the pre security

[rapid merlin]

And honestly

[blissful current]

[rapid merlin]

The best way to learn linux is to make setups

[cold brook]

It comes up again in the prerequisites, so I'll do them again

[rapid merlin]

Use linux on your pc

Setup different software

repeat

[cold brook]

Hmmmm

[sand trench]

gotta find some audio to text thingy eventually

[rapid merlin]

Distro hopping

[crystal moss]

Windows is what most people use on their client computers, so knowledge of Windows and PowerShell is of course just as important as knowing Linux.

[rapid merlin]

True

[cold brook]

Like installing a virtual machine?

[rapid merlin]

And some big companies run windows server aswell

🤮

[sand trench]

and linux runs all their servers that you hack into too :P

[rapid merlin]

Dual booting is an option aswell

You should look into linux servers aswell

[crystal moss]

Yes..

[rapid merlin]

Try to setup different things

Networkchuch has interesting things you can try out

[sand trench]

would not recommend dual booting as you kinda need 2 storage devices for it or you are risking data loss

[rapid merlin]

even walks you trough them

its very cool

[cold brook]

I installed Kali Linux once, but it comes with so many errors and stuff, and one day it just never came on again 💀💀💀, I might need to revisit that

[cold brook]

Yooo I know that guy

[crystal moss]

Dualboot often causes problems though. I'm glad I have my lab and can throw up a VM from Proxmox whenever I want....

[cold brook]

He's good

[rapid merlin]

Yeah :D

You should try setting up the things

He does

[cold brook]

Hmmm interesting, I actually did once, visual studio code or something

And set up a python lab there

It was really simple

[rapid merlin]

https://wazuh.com/ <- very cool SIEM Software btw

And it gudes you trough hardening/ compilance etc

So you should set that up and maybe a testing server and tweak around with the settings

Its all about doing things actively

Network chuck has a video on that aswell

I first learned linux at like 11-12 when i first installed it on my PC

I had to reinstall my OS So many times and switched from distro to distro because i kept breaking it 💀

[rapid merlin]

With free you can do alot

You'll just need to set up your own machine

and use the VPN
