[boreal scarab]

I know, I'm just saying, nothing is really vegan here, every single thing has sugar in it.

[fleet pivot]

oh? new jersey??

east coast huh?

[boreal scarab]

Sugar free? Nah, just sweetened with other shit.

[fleet pivot]

east coast = worst coast, west coast = best coast

[pallid lotus]

Yeah, makes me rather glad I'm not in the US

Well, that and, uh, everything else

[pallid lotus]

Yeah, sorry, free world looks at the US in horror right now lmao. Not a chance.

[fleet pivot]

in my opinion it's gotta be one of the best places to live in rn, if you chose the right place

in terms of income and job opportunities

[chilly veldt]

lmao

[boreal scarab]

WE'RE UNPREDICTABLE!!!!

Not even us citizens know what the fuck is going on.

[fleet pivot]

wtg

[fleet pivot]

ong it has to be

incomes in europe are very low

[chilly veldt]

uhm no?

[pallid lotus]

So is cost of living.

[boreal scarab]

@cosmic pendant we're talking murica and if it's the best place to live.

[chilly veldt]

want me to pull out the mcdonalds chart? 😄

[boreal scarab]

Don't forget the waffle house index

[sick lance]

@lucid dirge please stop dm'ing members without asking

[pallid lotus]

We don't need a 6 figure income to be very comfortable

[fleet pivot]

yes they are, the average income in europe is 18 to 24000 dollars per year...

[sand trench]

progress quest goes brrrrrrrrr

[fleet pivot]

that's super low

Region	Approx. Net Annual Income (€)
Western Europe	€30,000 – €45,000
Northern Europe	€35,000 – €55,000
Southern Europe	€15,000 – €24,000
Eastern Europe	€9,000 – €14,000
Southeastern Europe	€7,000 – €12,000
(according to google)

the us is MUCH higher

[pallid lotus]

Only if the stuff you're buying costs a fortune

[slow cloud]

But in the US you pay 600k when you break your leg, here its free

[pallid lotus]

Also that

Much higher standard of social care, even with the right wing trying to gut it.

[pallid lotus]

Trust me, the only people who look at the US and think "oooh, this is where I want to be" are either in the US, or in a significantly worse off country.

[fleet pivot]

keep in mind guys, the average income in my state is 75k to 85k, if you came to my state with a european income you'd be considered below average by a mile

[pallid lotus]

Especially with the current political climate.

[slow cloud]

I would like to visit some day

But not live there

[fleet pivot]

and my state aint even the highest

[cosmic pendant]

@pallid lotus umm murray, that's too political

[pallid lotus]

Yeah, but you wouldn't keep your European salary if you got a job in the states lmao

[cosmic pendant]

according to the rules under NDA, we have to call you Philbert

[chilly veldt]

my guy, as a student in nothern europe, I earn 89,635 USD a year before tax, that means roughly 56-60k after tax
my yearly payments for living is roughly 20k

that means I have savings of around 30k a year, how much do you have in savings?

[lucid dirge]

ok , sorry

[wind lake]

MURRAYYYYY

[pallid lotus]

You'd be on significantly higher income for an equivalent job, to handle the significantly higher cost of living.

[slow cloud]

Damn get me that job

[wraith locust]

What do u work?

[chilly veldt]

and that means savings on top of my pension
aka money I can spend freely

[slow cloud]

I earn roughly 38k euro a year

[wind lake]

i have 0.26

[slow cloud]

How does one get 90k😭

[fleet pivot]

if you wanna leave a low income, peaceful life, go to europe, a high income, somewhat peaceful life, go to the us

[chilly veldt]

I work 2 jobs, one as a consultant and one wher I am responsible for all internal IT for a company

[wraith locust]

Oh alright fair enough

[slow cloud]

Yeah okay

[pallid lotus]

Again, for the last time, we do not need a high income to have the same, or higher, standard of living.

Put it this way. I'm 23. I live alone. I own a 3 bed, 3 bath property, and I can't remember the last time I actually bothered to check my bank balance.

I also don't need to worry about being shot at, or going bankrupt if I chip a nail.

• I have expensive hobbies.

If that's not living comfortably I don't know what is.

[slow cloud]

Must be nice to live in a country with a nice housing market

[fleet pivot]

a neurosurgon in europe makes around €80,000 – €250,000 per year (western europe, eastern europe is way lower) in the us you earn higher than the most experienced neurosurgeons as a starter, top earners make around 250k, in the us they make around 1.5 to 3 million, this is what i call 'perspective'

[pallid lotus]

Oh, the housing market is nuts. I got lucky there.

[fleet pivot]

determining whether life is better in europe or in the us is subjective

it all depends on what type of life you wanna live

[slow cloud]

And thats a continent vs a country

[pallid lotus]

Okay, so what?

Look, example numbers:
In the US, you earn 10x as much, but it costs you, say $10 for a bottle of milk.
In the UK you earn 1x, but pay £1 for a bottle of milk.

Yes, I know milk probably doesn't cost that much in the US -- it's just to illustrate the point.

[finite basalt]

It's like a reward

[pallid lotus]

Your income does not matter. It's proportional to cost of living.

I do not need to make a million dollars every year if I can live just as comfortably on 50k

[chilly veldt]

so top row is the US, bottom row is Denmark
you choose neuro surgeon, not that many get to be that, here I found a more common job for you

hope this gives to better perspective, showing that many people work in fast food

[pallid lotus]

And have the added societal benefits of not being in the US

[finite basalt]

ay up, how've you been

[pallid lotus]

Nae bad -- explaining economics to Americans. Always fun

[sick lance]

It helps.

[pallid lotus]

You?

[sick lance]

But not essential

[fleet pivot]

that's a low income job, if you look at an average job, the us pays way higher

[pallid lotus]

I mean, you'd be living significantly better off on that, but true

[finite basalt]

you seen the monkey banana explanation of supply and demand, it's class 🤣

[sick lance]

Would the US pay higher if the cost of living was less?

[fleet pivot]

u'll almost certainly earn a higher income, and get access to better stuff in the us

[wraith locust]

I think its too much for a student tbh

[pallid lotus]

I just tried that with milk

[finite basalt]

banging mate, cracked open a guinness to treat myself after my final exam

[pallid lotus]

What, like guns and the aforementioned medical bills?

[chilly veldt]

and how many people work low income jobs in the US because they can't get a medium to high income position?

[fleet pivot]

now ur just stereotyping the whole country

[sand trench]

also muiri doing it with milk feels weird

[pallid lotus]

Whooooo! Nice one

[fleet pivot]

what about the discrimination that minorities face in europe?

[finite basalt]

and worse education and dental on average according to statistics

[pallid lotus]

What about the discrimination minorities face in the US?

[fleet pivot]

low income jobs in the us is a middle to high income job in europe

[fleet pivot]

it's minimal

[chilly veldt]

uhm no?

[fleet pivot]

it berely happens these days

[finite basalt]

I'm not judging america at all but statistically, it's generally worse than the UK

[slow cloud]

Really?

[fleet pivot]

dude

[shut hawk]

not sure it is with that president of yours

[slow cloud]

Its not minimal

[sand trench]

either you are joking
or your insight is very low

[chilly veldt]

dude, I am illegal in the US because of your discriminations

quite literally

[pallid lotus]

It's really not lmfao
How many black people were shot by police last year?
How many people were just deported for the colour of their skin, with no due process?
Racism is on the rise. It's not going away lmfao

[rapid merlin]

id say it is high income in eastern europe

[slow cloud]

Its a pointless discussion ngl

He is gonna say we dont earn money

And that the us is so amazing

[pallid lotus]

True that. The American flag in the handle is a bit of a giveaway

[fleet pivot]

im literally a fucking minority and i have never faced racism ever in my life, and i've been to many places, im mixed race, not once have i faced discrimination, dude i live in a white town, with my faimly, and they couldn't care less about my race, the only time i've faced discrimination is in school, when i had a fight with other students, but besides that there's barely any

[finite basalt]

also worth noting the conditions and process for those who end up stuck in that awful system

[fleet pivot]

ur so anti american

[finite basalt]

while your area might not discriminate much, there are others which are massively discriminatory

[slow cloud]

A fast food ranking in bio is also classic american

[sand trench]

an you are so anti european

[slow cloud]

😂

[fleet pivot]

again, not true

ive been to very white towns in arkansas before

[finite basalt]

Like it's not about being anti-american, that is factual. The UK suffers less racial divide and more of a class divide while america very much has issues regarding racial divide

[fleet pivot]

and no one gives a fuck about my skin color

in europe, THEY DO

[pallid lotus]

Right now? Yes, yes I am.
Because I'm looking at America and all the utter shite that's happening -- that half the population voted for -- in absolute horror.

And right at this second because I'm seeing -- once again -- an arrogant American wandering in and claiming that the "land of the free" (which is anything but at this point) is the greatest country in the world and everyone should want to be there.

[mossy river]

Can we avoid politics please

[pallid lotus]

Sorry Jabba -- we did try

[fleet pivot]

i never said it's the land of the free

💀

[rapid merlin]

I want to read people’s write ups on medium. If anyone wants to share their work.

[slow cloud]

You tell em Jabba

[fleet pivot]

im not denying the fact that there's problems, there's problems everywhere

[pallid lotus]

Nope. I did. To quote the catch line that's been put out for decades.

[fleet pivot]

but im saying the discrimination is minimal

[chilly veldt]

my guy, I was almost forced into prison by stepping into the airports in america because of discrimination against trans people, quite literally because I live being who I am, the border control in US strips me from my freedom of property by siezing my laptop and phone.

due to who I am, I can be thrown in prison and never be allowed into the US ever again, or worse, even killed for just being me on the streets

[mossy river]

And I'm saying that the discussion needs to end before I start removing people from chat 😁

[chilly veldt]

anyway, I am going to go get some blueberry shots

it's friday anway

What is an education purpose for a RAT?

[loud marlin]

^^ or this guy

[wraith locust]

Lol

Bro stop wasting time

[loud marlin]

anyway i need a beer

[sick lance]

So that isn't an educational purpose, that's an illegal use.

That doesn't mean you have permission to use a RAT without their knowledge.

[wraith locust]

No

[sick lance]

I'm helping you to not break the law.

[sick lance]

Please don't

[wraith locust]

Im not helping him it's illegal

[half girder]

despite the fact its illegal without consent, you also have the risk that the RAT might be backdoored (what is documented to happen), so you might also expose your friend to unnecessary risks

[sick lance]

That's something you can't prove.

[sick lance]

There is no need to get involved.

Respect rule 9 please.

[loud marlin]

oh boy

[sick lance]

We won't be assisting you on breaking the law,.if you continue to ask,.you may be removed

[bleak quartz]

for what?

phone

pc?

Bro chill out man it's illegal

android

ios

Btw for what?

if u want I can dm u some resources

but I'm still interested to know why

[rapid merlin]

oh i pinged the wrong guy lol

[rapid merlin]

LinkedIn?

[loud marlin]

find some legal way to "troll a friend". using a RAT is not the way to troll ppl. unplug his pc mouse, or hide on attic and make horror noise sounds more legal and fun way

If anyone is interested discussing the build of a ew CTF please let me know. I have a good setup for participants, I just, more or less, need help in making sure each player is as safe as possible from any real threats

[rugged pulsar]

Hey guys, I'm just starting to take cybersecurity seriously—especially the red teaming side. I'm a bit confused about whether I should go with TryHackMe, Hack The Box, or explore other resources. Any suggestions?

[versed veldt]

That depends , HTB is more "visual" than anything. A lot reading, but a lot better chance of a deeper understanding. THM is basic reading with a major focus of "On-The-Job training" where you'll go neck deep in applying the things you briefly just read about

[rapid merlin]

Hello

[rugged pulsar]

TryHackMe works for me—I get bored with too much reading

[versed veldt]

Of course, nothing wrong with tossing in a healthy mix of both. A session of heavy reading, followed by a session of intensive brain gutting, finger crushing real life experience

[rugged pulsar]

I also wanted to ask—obviously, everyone here is aiming to build a career in cybersecurity. From what I see, most of the scope seems to be in web-based security, especially with bug bounty programs. Am I right, or is there equal demand for other types of pentesting too? I’m just starting out and want to focus on the right path.

What Samer said

The SOC path is excellent in my opinion

definitely if ur aiming for blue team roles

[oak river]

Of course

As long as we're here and can help, we will

[rugged pulsar]

i want to go for red team

[wraith locust]

Then go for the red team (Offensive security path)

but start with the presecurity and cybersec 101

for the basics

[oak river]

Same, but some people in the business advised me to start blue first

But whatever you want

your path is your own

And personal to you

Different things work for different people

[wraith locust]

Thats true yeah, but if u already took an ethical hacking course you could just go for the red team

[rugged pulsar]

i have that Google cyber securit cert so i guess my basic are clear

[modest minnow]

Hello

[mortal jewel]

i wanna get good at it but its soo much text its flooding my brains out rn

[wraith locust]

Yeah good but if u want a more practical experience try these 2 paths first. I finished the goggle cybersecurity cert too but i wanted to take both the pre security and cybersec 101 certs besides it

[rugged pulsar]

okok besst.

[wraith locust]

gl

[rugged pulsar]

[copper ravine]

I’ve always wondered why this is either red teaming or blue teaming you’re still getting an idea of the threats and other things you’ll face while on the job.

I think doing what your most interested in is the most important first step otherwise it’s all for nothing

[oak river]

Because once a former defender, you will now have a better idea of what to do, I guess?

[copper ravine]

Wouldn’t it work vise versa ?

[oak river]

A former defender is a better attacker in my opinion and a former attacker makes a better defender

[copper ravine]

If you have a deep understanding of deploying an attack I believe you possess the skills to defend it too

[copper ravine]

My thoughts exactly

[mortal jewel]

i think it would cause offense is the best defense, if you are good at attacking you would be more prepared on how to defend yourself against attacks

[copper ravine]

@sick lance Input ?

[oak river]

But it's easier to attack a castle that you have already been into, rather than to attack the unknown, it would take much more time perhaps

I don't think any offensive strategist has ever tried to test his might against the unknown

I don't know

[proven lark]

yo guys

anyone hre done the SOC Metrics and Objectives
room?

im so trash at math

[versed veldt]

Nah man it goes a lot deeper than that But web-based is "fairly simple" in terms of learning a lot quickly

I'm looking for advice on enhancing security on my project. I'm designing a CTF and would like advice on which security features would be best

[oak river]

@rugged pulsar Also a SOLID, SOLID Advice for you to take:

Repeat

Re-read chapters, books and Redo exercises

Once you read once/done once, you have explored the material
Once you read twice/done twice, you start to comprehend well
Once you read thrice/done thrice, you have hardened knowledge

[high mulch]

[oak river]

You might get irritated that it takes some time, but look for quality, not for quantity

[rugged pulsar]

Absolutely agree 💯
Repetition isn't boring — it's refining.

[oak river]

❔

[versed veldt]

Agreed. Don't move on once you "think" you learned it. When you start a new topic that old topic will slip away. Do it until it haunts your dreams 😂

[oak river]

Before, I tried to gobble up multiple chapters at once for a day

[rugged pulsar]

exacttly😂🫡

it happens to me

[oak river]

Now I stick to one chapter per day, and I reread it

Just be consistent and put effort

[umbral bay]

And they're gone. 😎

Space invader'ed into Oblivion.

[blissful current]

[shadow coyote]

so i had a tcp christmas tree packet sniffed last night but can't sniff it anymore so i guess im fine 🥲

should i block that IP to be safe

[sand trench]

why is everything moving to people having no right to own D:

[shadow coyote]

oh the IP is related to domain of Zoom, curious why the TCP packet had all the flags set though, bug?

[shadow coyote]

yeah they were very kind offering free money for control of your machine

[stark sequoia]

target eliminated

[rapid merlin]

Don’t think I’ve ever bothered

[sand trench]

right to repair gets outperformed by companies removing right to own

I need to do my two rooms though

Are there any free text to speech apps ? 😅

You should download the latest version

[river meteor]

ok

thanks bro

installer machine or virtual machine

[rapid merlin]

That’s Linux 🥲

[sand trench]

a decent bit of the links have working versions for windows and mac too

[rapid merlin]

Wireshark is actually interesting today

[sand trench]

or are you looking for android/iphone??

[pure ridge]

virtual machine

[river meteor]

laptop asus

what is difference between installer machine and virtual machine

[rapid merlin]

It was for windows. I’m finding it really hard to read the last few days. I keep finding myself disassociating every minute. I need a text to speech, my headset doesn’t come till tomorrow

im currently inspecting network traffic in a hotel lol

i installed wireshark today on my new setup now im a full time hacker

but all the packets of data are gibberish to me 😦

[sick lance]

Massive grey area.

[shadow coyote]

[cursive bobcat]

its ethical bro im learning

[sick lance]

If it's not yours,.don't scan/hack/touch

[sick lance]

Ethical?

Debatable.

[shadow coyote]

🍿

[cursive bobcat]

welll in my defence my first ever project was to scan my network and coincidentally im in a hotel so lol

[rapid merlin]

After studying for two years I still won’t call myself a hacker. 👁️👄👁️

[sick lance]

That isn't a defence.

Even then, your own router is more than likely leased from your ISP.

[rapid merlin]

Yeah it’s weird but after a while it slowly makes sense. There’s just so much to it

[cursive bobcat]

ok send me to jail

[sand trench]

shadow only started calling themselves a hacker after reading the rfc 1392

[rapid merlin]

I’m only using wireshark to inspect the router traffic and defend 😇

[rapid merlin]

Ohhh it’s an internet glossary

[cursive bobcat]

i plan to start a service based business turning dodgy network data into instant real live analysis for the company hahaha

thats my business idea for the night

[sand trench]

hacker
A person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the
internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in
particular. The term is often misused in a pejorative context,
where "cracker" would be the correct term.

[cursive bobcat]

i just need ai to analyse it and categorise it for me

[rapid merlin]

@blissful current all your emotes are alive

[cursive bobcat]

can we hack THM

since its in their name

try hack me

they are asking us to hack them

[steady pewter]

They're a sorcerer.

[rapid merlin]

I had some side hustles but concentrating on cyber

Alright np

[rapid merlin]

Got to put everything into cyber so I don’t get distracted

[wraith locust]

I feel you yeah. Its not an easy field

Yeah and one day I want to find criminals as a job so yeah

They don’t rest bro and neither should I.

As a kid I wanted to be a pathologist. I still can identify strangulation patterns at a glance. I also think all the textbooks might have done smth to my perception of humanity

[rapid merlin]

Night night, sleep well

[blissful current]

or just send it to repeater

did u forward the request tho?

lol

[rapid merlin]

When I was a kid I wanted to be the next Steve Irwin. Then I went on to do art and photography. Tried to do zoology. Went into architecture? For some reason. 😂

And now I’m here. 🤌🏻

[wraith locust]

Lol

[subtle viper]

To be fair art+photography mixed with knowledge of native fauna could work out pretty good

Nat geo pays good money

[rapid merlin]

Ye

I wanted to do nature photography at one point but didn’t

[wraith locust]

I wanted to become a psychologist when i was a kid lol

[subtle viper]

I do it as a hobby but I kinda suck

[rapid merlin]

I’ll be honest growing up at home was difficult because anything I wanted to do my mum would tell me no. The only hobby I was able to keep was gaming and I’ve now lost that so yeah

[wary ocean]

id like too but theres no places around that looks nice

and i aint got money to travel

[rapid merlin]

I was a toxic gamer though

[wary ocean]

could try music

[rapid merlin]

It’s expensive just to get the camera gear.

[cursive bobcat]

i should get back to day 2 of THM hahaa

but they slapped us with a 20 min video on networks cbaaaa

im currently debating joining the army as a cyber engineer or RAF as a cyber specialist

[steady pewter]

[upper knoll]

honestly lad networking is your bread and butter understanding that will lead you forward so much its something you cant do without you just need to have a good attitude towards it or it could hold you back

the networking stuff on thm imo is well written and explained if you want to look into that

[rapid merlin]

You should try and get it done, then you won’t be stressed thinking about it not being done.

https://tenor.com/view/big-brain-gif-27108854

I wish I found Chris Greer a year ago

[cursive bobcat]

hahaa yeah i guess but i was learning about networks in my network+ course on coursea so when i seen it again i almost cried

[upper knoll]

you just gotta take that assosication away honestly i cant stress how crucial it is going forward

[cursive bobcat]

the osi model

All People Seem To Need Data Processing

[upper knoll]

but i get it after my networking lectures at uni i was dreading it but on thm i know the person who wrote the material or parts of it at least and honestly they did a fantastic job

[cursive bobcat]

thats the philosophy

[versed veldt]

Open source CTF game, anyone want to view code then try and exploit it to provide feedback?

[boreal scarab]

Feedback: Needs more OSINT

[steady pewter]

Feedback:
Needs more CSINT

[versed veldt]

lol, ironically it currently contains no OSINT 😂

[wraith locust]

Use maltego

[boreal scarab]

NEEDS MORE!!!!!

[boreal scarab]

And use my tool while you're at it!

https://github.com/Beerrise/Maltego-Local-AI

[versed veldt]

I'm being real here guys, please take this seriously. I'm looking to host live CTF events with it when it's finished

[steady pewter]

That is a demon cat!

[rapid merlin]

Today my cat smashed a vase

[steady pewter]

AAAAAAAAAAH!

[cursive bobcat]

its the kitty undertaker

[boreal scarab]

I'm personally good, I like my OSINT better

[versed veldt]

Ok, well ....change your mind feel free to dm me

[boreal scarab]

[versed veldt]

It actually is an very interesting and unique CTF never been done before, at least when it's fully finished.

Anyway, I get the hint. Catch you guys later, stay safe fellas

[boreal scarab]

We're not hinting at anything

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/pedro-monkey-puppet-meme-awkward-gif-15268759

[cursive bobcat]

i honestly dont even know what CTF is i only learnt python for data analysis as it stands

[boreal scarab]

CTF is Capture The Flag

Hack into a system, find the flag, Bing bang boom, done.

[cursive bobcat]

so its like call of duty

[deep geyser]

yes...yes it is

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/no-let-me-think-nope-no-way-hmm-no-gif-22904160

[rapid merlin]

Hm uh

Not quite

[cursive bobcat]

so the flag is hidden in the code or what?

[rapid merlin]

His hair is fabulous

[wraith locust]

Just try it out when u get good at cybersecurity

[boreal scarab]

How would you find a flag if all you got is an image.

[cursive bobcat]

i heard alot about ctf tbh but never done one

[boreal scarab]

But you also had to find that image some place hidden

[cursive bobcat]

its like spot the difference haha

or wheres wally

ill go sherlock holmes on it

[boreal scarab]

Kinda.
So, let's take a basic concept.

You got a Linux machine, there's an software version you see in nmap, you need to exploit it. Congrats, you exploited, now do other magic and find the picture. Now, get the flag from the picture

[cursive bobcat]

so its a secret word?

[boreal scarab]

Stenography.... tf is this? A court room? Lol

steganography

[cursive bobcat]

or you literally gotta find the word flag

[boreal scarab]

But yes

[boreal scarab]

Nope, it could be anything

Could be a name, phone number. Anything af all

QR code even

[cursive bobcat]

but how do you find something you dont know what you are looking for ?

[boreal scarab]

Could be found in the Metadata, the image itself, if you have an audio file, could be hidden in there too.

[boreal scarab]

Welcome to hacking!

[subtle viper]

You do, it's just that there are different options for the creator

[boreal scarab]

I'm talking in general, not just a room

[rapid merlin]

I always find the tutorial from four years ago and then the website is completely different. 🙃

[cursive bobcat]

oh so its a task. find the QR code or find the mobile number etc

[subtle viper]

Ah, ok

[subtle viper]

Yeah, pretty much. Just you need to complete some challenge to get to it

Usually the most common are gain user privileges and escalate to root user

[cursive bobcat]

right that makes sense now

[gusty inlet]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-chat-hello-shadow-the-hedgehog-gif-25529751

its bascially teaching you how to hack a user haha

im trying to figure out if it was an encrypted message

[subtle viper]

Here's sloth teeth if you need them

[wraith locust]

Wtf is this bro

bro please dont send images like that lmao

[subtle viper]

Ah, sorry

[deep geyser]

i beliece it is a sloth skull if i had to guess

[subtle viper]

I forgot some people dislike skulls

[subtle viper]

Yep

[deep geyser]

is that a thing i had no idea

[subtle viper]

But why sloth teeth

[wraith locust]

Yeah some people get disgusted by these images especially skulls

[deep geyser]

craniophobia... the more you know

[subtle viper]

Remind me to not show my project

I was about to since I'm close to finishing it

[wraith locust]

Alr lol

[subtle viper]

Ok actually now I'm curious

What about spines?

Didnt think the URL field would take the Japanese characters

Idk if it changed server-side tho but we will see

Hey guys i have a guestion if anyone knows anything about website building since im quite new myself and a bit bad at it i made a a code for website with vscode and the live server shows as it should but when i upload it to a free hosting site so i could get it to an actual site and set up ssl on it it looks really bad and nothing like in the live server. What is that about?

[knotty pendant]

What are you using to host it

[quick haven]

infinity free

i read that its a good free hosting site

[knotty pendant]

Have you gotten ssl setup

[quick haven]

no cause i was thinking ill put it after i have the website files on the site

should i put the ssl first before the files?

[knotty pendant]

Are you using infinity free for backend

[quick haven]

im trying to get it like so people can use it and interact with it

[jovial belfry]

Anybody know any Internet money making methods i could do starting off with $0 ?

[rapid merlin]

A few but kinda hard without an already established platform

Also might technically be considered advertising of other businesses so I shouldn’t get into it.

[jade oar]

[last harbor]

Basically

[rapid merlin]

People usually ask me if I’m married after they find out I’m a mother which is fair tbh

[last harbor]

They r related

But I consider them to be the same

[rapid merlin]

I NEVER ask a man his salary

[clear jackal]

I mean, if you're having a conversation about salaries go for it

[craggy wadi]

or call a woman a "him".

[rapid merlin]

[jade oar]

That’s a new thing going to the list

Making sound am a bad guy 🤣

[last harbor]

[craggy wadi]

Sharing salaries gives coworkers the ability to see if they're getting screwed

[last harbor]

Tyy man

[clear jackal]

Yes to the first, second depends. Mainly due to people misunderstanding the term "entry" when it comes to cybersecurity and the niches within it.

[crystal mauve]

I did that when I worked at sbux once, said congratulations! She said why ?
N I said you’re pregnant ! lol

[rapid merlin]

Hope ya feel better soon.

[jade oar]

[rapid merlin]

I’ve seen entry jobs and the requirements are a handful of certifications and I’m like 😑

Must have ten years experience, 15 toes , a tortoise

[clear jackal]

Yes, because entry cyber is not industry entry.

[rapid merlin]

[jade oar]

[rapid merlin]

[north oasis]

feeding crocodiles man

[craggy wadi]

yeah its the same. not a normal milkshake

[rapid merlin]

Yeah I’ve also hugged a little tiger 😅

I’ve seen them gallop

[clear jackal]

Sure. As a quick example, do doctors immediately become heart surgeons when they enter the field? They do not. They practice medicine in other medical areas before becoming a surgeon. It's the same with other industries such as the computer industry, which cyber is part of. Cyber requires you to bring some level of professional experience, or a degree, due to the amount of context needed to perform the job. There is also the increased level of risk with cyber.

[rapid merlin]

Yeeehaw

[rapid merlin]

So if I don’t go to uni I should get a job as an It assistant ? 👀

And move up to cyber

They are yeah

Crocs are a little… snappy 😅

[clever locust]

does somebody know about hashing?

[shell laurel]

Hi one question wht is phishing

[clear jackal]

Typically you see people enter the field in a few ways and starting in IT is very common.

[jade oar]

I want to buy a cat

It’s all bc of sweet and salty

But I got allergies so might just fuck it and buy one

[clear jackal]

That being said if you're in a western country, and you can afford it, a degree will be beneficial.

[rapid merlin]

Yeah I haven’t had a job that could link me to cyber. I really want to get a job though. I also don’t want to stay in England so I’m in a predicament

[shell laurel]

Means I want know about phishing

[clear jackal]

Degree holders get more opportunities due to contractual obligations requiring degrees and also earn more than their non-degree counterparts.

[jade oar]

Got a question so I am studying rn right and I want to be like pen tester and exploit stuff what section is that Ygm

[rapid merlin]

Is like psychologically manipulating someone to gain personal information.

[jade oar]

[clear jackal]

You should ask specific questions then?

[rapid merlin]

I don’t wanna go to uni. The learning style is not for me and I am not Comfortable being around people all day.

[last harbor]

A process which changes the string values to a hash value

[jade oar]

To make it more secure if i am not wrong

[clever locust]

need to convert in string values

[last harbor]

Lemme give u an example. For example someone wants to steal ur Roblox account. So they would make a fake Roblox website to steal ur login credentials. Tahst phishing. And if u login on that website, u will be phished

[rapid merlin]

I introverted so hard I got a vitamin D deficiency 😆

[clear jackal]

I'm going to be real with you, cyber may not be for you then. Not due to not wanting the degree, the people part. I also don't like people, but it's something you have to put aside.

[last harbor]

Yh basically

[last harbor]

Wdym

[clear jackal]

A huge part of Cyber is communication

[jade oar]

@clear jackal
