you don't know how good it feels to find someone who does not use hyprland
I forgot how to check π did u use arch install, or manually did all that
I dont think my machine can run hyprland
hyprland is pretty lightweight
Share share
Or KDE plasmaπ
Manual
if it can run Xfce
it can run hyprland
Currently not home but its an acer 5755g from 2011
why?
i think kde plasma is the most customizable one
4gb ddr3π
What's ur pc configs? Hyprland is pretty light weight, but u will need wayland / wayland uwsm for it
it will work
The size
hyprland takes around 700mb on idle ig
yep
4gb ddr3, 250gb ssd and i5-2430M
depends on ur config but that's pretty much it
yea but it requires shit ton load of config and it has a bad owner
if u still want to proceed u can check the Hyde config
u will find it's github repo
Hmm π€ well hyprland would work fine bro, but it does need other resources too along with it to create complete desktop
πΎ
or u can waste your whole week or maybe month manually doing the config

Yeah i gotta see
im kinda anti hyprland coz of the owner
Im just kinda whatever people recommended currently
I need a partner for doing rooms ngl
but it's a good wm nevertheless
Kinda gets boring to do alone
chatgpt, the forever partner
Looks like that's the case for me irl as well
tbh i use chatgpt if i encounter use of some scripts in the rooms
i don't wanna write them manually
I have a question to VPN for a Router. If a Router is connected over VPN to a Server ,than any devive is connected also to the Server over VPN of the router. So the data traffic of all devices is encrypted and can't be read for example by sniffing. Need a hacker to attack over the provider of VPN or is it simple the same like without VPN?
Potentially yes
I don't remember too much of when I did the CCNA, I believe I had some practical ones?
when you use a VPN
all your trffic is encrypted and sent to the VPN servers where then it is decrypted and sent to the destination
the encryption most VPNs use is very strong(like RSA)
so no, the hacker if he is able to sniff, won't able to tell what it is and if he hacks the servers
he will know the data but won't know who is sending it
and VPN servers have a huge traffic
it will be like finding a needle in a haystack
Tbf
RSA isn't strong it's just got that huge of a bit length it takes ages to precompute it
Ok ,thanks
the only case where you will encounter a problem will be when gov decides to step in and ask the VPN company and they give them the data over
so that's why use VPNs like mullvad and do payment in monero and no one will be able to find u ever
The math behind RSA is also very simple, its main buffer is the fact you can have upto 4096bits
sir that's how u define a strong encryption
But RSA is used by any website, right ? Combination of RSA and AES called hybrid encryption.
every encryption can be broken with enough computing power
even sha
yes, it is used for https websites
If my encryption is so bad I'm relying on hoping someone doesn't realise it's just saved by block size I wouldn't call it secure at all
Also SHA isn't even encryption
That's a lossy hashing algorithm
im just saying
Elliptic curves are more secure than RSA and they use smaller block sizes
i think the ECC Curve25519 is a better alt these days
it's faster and smaller key size
lol
ah
π
quantum computers are the real danger here
the country which gets the possession of them first will be able to decode anything
no algo will be safe
America already has them
So does some European country
and to make an safe algo
it would require computing power of an quantum computer creating this deadlock 
Australia has plans to build one to replace the old supercomputer
they are not so functional rn
the qbits die too early and the error is too big
not stable rn
Pretty sure China also made some small scale one
china made one, it had over 500qbits
Not that it actually worked
but then microsoft's breakthrough overshadowed everything
I have a similar question. If only one device of a network infrastructure use VPN, is it than secured by hacking? The device don't know devices of his own network infrastructure but devices recognize him as device connected to the router.
It can still be attacked adjacently or laterally
If another device on the network is compromised or the VPN server is compromised
evening all π
Evening Ryla
all they will see is some gibbrish all being sent to the VPN server
Still can attack the device laterallyβ’
the encryption happens on ur client side, but if it's done on the router side
ur data can be comprised
Ok , so all devices need to be connected to a Server of a Provider over VPN?
idk what u mean by that
how to become the number 1 cyber predator in the world
I said earlier: if another device on the network is compromised, or the VPN itself is compromised, then the device is open to attacks regardless of the encryption
Also fwiw, VPNs don't stop attacks on your network
if u use the VPN on your system locally, you are safe
if it's done on the router, then even one comprised device will risk the safety
You'd be looking at an Intrusion Detection/Prevention System and firewall
i think he meant privacy
Privacy wise: just run your own VPN server
You never know if the company has been gag claused or not
what is being backdoored?
You mean Next generation firewall that have IDS and IPS?
or u can use the cloudflare warp
it's good enough but not as secure as a VPN
Warp is great for making sure you don't download dumb shit
Gave +1 Rep to @leaden shale (current: #2889 - 1)
anyways
i should study for my exams or else im cooked
wtf are we on the same UNI
i feel like ik u irl
i don't think so
if we were, we would have one more server in mutual
but you never know
So I need to to buy hardware firewall like next generation firewall or run in a VM as a system , to secure my network infrastructure?
btw u can pretty much know who i am just by looking at my discord profile
to secure your network, u need to have some good intrusion detector
there are many, some are suricata, snort, zeek,etc
Ok, thanks

Looking at bird anatomy rn
r/birdsarentreal
They didn't want to say that birds have a metacarpal, so they called it carpometacarpal
Like excuse me bird people
for drawing reference? hope so
It's a bloody carpal
Yes
epic. please do share your sketches
damn
you gonna make your next sketch focused on birds or u just really like details
ah i see
π
guys
what does this mean?
DMs
what is a good learning free path for begginers
DMZ can be also used to separate intern network from services that are used for communication in the internet. Is it possible to do it with a router or I need buy a PC or server to separate it logically?
Have the before I started doing details
DMZ is done on the router
awesome. love to see rough sketches.
I painted a raven at one point. in gouache
π¦ (couldn't findποΈ)
check it out https://tryhackme.com/hacktivities?tab=roadmap π
idk that
the best thing to do is
fuck around and find out
Current, with bad stuff out of frame
participate in ctfs on ctftime
solve rooms, look at the writeups
But u use for DMZ minimum 2 firewalls . 1 between WAN and DMZ and 1 between DMZ and internal network. Router use only one firewall
DMZ doesn't need to be explicitly on two firewalls
It's ideally behind the same firewall but the ACL prevents it from communication between other devices, making it so it can only talk to the gateway
i genuinely frightened to know what the bad stuff is now.
seriously cool though. keep at it π
Think of it like a private VLAN for that one specific device with a heavily restrictive access control list
here's that raven btw
thanks
This was my last drawing
Mix between a peosy and a lily cause idk
I was too lazy to blend the line of termination
If only 1 firewall is implemented between WAN and DMZ ,and u use ACL in firewall u can't decide which services can be used by clients ,because they are directly connected to each other, correct ?
Ty btw
Considering I had to look up questionable images it's a "yes" to what's out of frame lmao
Gave +1 Rep to @craggy wadi (current: #168 - 51)
i made drawing last in 2020 or so i guess lol
thanks you
Gave +1 Rep to @craggy wadi (current: #164 - 52)
thanks
This didn't make much sense tbh
An Access Control List can be applied on Switch, Router, or Firewall, all it does (depending on what control number you give it) is stop devices within the range you give from communicating with that device. In this case, a DMZ will ideally block the entire range except broadcast and network, to only allow communication over 0.0.0.0 (aka. gateway)
Whether the firewall is an SPI on the router or a dedicated firewall between edge and router doesn't matter, as long as the DMZ is after your firewall. There's no need for majority of consumer networks to need more than an SPI firewall
In an enterprise environment there's one physical firewall for every router that connects to the ISP
A DMZ do nothing. It is only a zone what separates internt network from services.
In my opinion to allow under incoming for services like smtp and outgoing smtp and dns .I would drop or block any outgoing and incoming ports ,if I fill in ACL which i only need to use .
Packagefilter firewall is enough to do ACL. SPI firewall is better. For example it detect status of a connection of a client and server.
turned out great. love the shading
DMZ does a lot to stop lateral movement from a server to client devices wdym
packet analysis
Ok if this is the case ,how can DMZ do that ? It's not a like a firewall or switch which has ACL.
yea that was easy
for me, extracting the frames of the video from the stream was kinda hard, for some reason wireshark wasn't showin me anything in objects so i had to resort to chatgpt to make a bin file with the stream and then extract the frames and then combine them into a video
pretty easy i would say

Because it's a method of network isolation
Chatgpt did it for me. You just need a good prompt.
Yes but how happens it technically?
yes, if u read the whole thing, i also used chatgpt to make the script
Yea, i didnt read it
btw i extracted them directly without that bin method
Hi, welcome
thanks
hi new, im dad
yea u can do that, whatever u like
i did the bin thing coz i thought maybe i could binwalk the images
im fine, wbu
im 16 so is it too early to learn cybersecurity?
just joined TryHackMe
read some good articles, watch some yt vids to develop interest(like cicada 3301)
then do some rooms, see writeups at first
participate in ctfs at ctftime
i have a pdf if u want
and idk what it is
what is that

is there any super keyboard nerd guy here
dankamyouknow, giaoheo, hippotech
im looking for a quiet mechanical keyboard, my budget is around $60
Can I ask help for a Root-Me Challenge on "room-help" ?
Don't ask to ask just ask
Just FYI, putting it like that is very unlikely to get you a response lmfao
hi fine
Please don't do this, just post on room help and wait patiently.
What you mean "don't do this" ? I actually asked if I could ask on the section what you told me to do π
Yeah, you can ask in there, but I'm asking not to ask another channel if they help you in there.
It's impatient and rude. π
find something with a silent switch
or
buy a cheap keyboard and add on o-rings
if such a quiet key board exists i will take it too
lol
i'll let u know if i find one
u also tell me if u find one
yes sir and where can i find that
im looking at Aula f75
everyone is buying this, idk why
whats the good wordlist for api fuzzing?
should say it in the specs or as an option you could buy
also yea 75% is quite good imo
Sorry
I actually just asked because I wanted to know if it was the appropriate channel for that
Not because I was impatient
Sometimes I ask a question and people tell me that it is not the appropriate channel for it
it's not ur fault ig, a bit of misunderstanding
but you can search for write ups online, you will be able to solve ur prob way faster
what switch should i get with it?
it has 3 options, crescent, ice vein, leobog reaper
honestly any of them is fine
if you need something lighter for rhythm gaming then get the ice veins
ic
u can turn on ur pings, else there is a good chance that i will miss your msg
I stand corrected. Someone is in fact willing to respond despite your obnoxiousness.
πΌ
Wat happened? Everything alr???

Gotta shed the old skin
Then I'd just be dead both inside and out
Technically we already have zombies
From when
There's a fungi that infects invertebrae
I outta get one
Hmmmm
They're called cordyceps
For every insect species, there's a unique cordycep species
Ophiocordyceps unilateralis is specific to ants, and Gibellula Attenboroughii is for spiders
Cordyceps is a genus of parasitic fungi that grows on insect larvae. It contains various components that may be beneficial to your health in different ways.
Yep
Yey zombies from temu
They essentially also have the ability to manipulate and control the brain of insects and arachnids to populate
The remnants of the parasite is horrifically beautiful
Strength in numberss
Iirc it inspired last of us

it works only for animals. for humans is safe. there is much more dangerous things in area of fungy and zombie infection for humans aside of cordy ones
Zombie you give you're remarks
good afternoon chat

as chemist. in our BIO lab there is some things that i'm so happy that are not public and i hope ppl will never get hands on it.
cooked
Just chew fater smh
unironically me, but I actually managed to
aw man I cant use external emojis

I get that lmao
3 books everyyear I gotta do it
y'all get reading assigments?
I mean soaps and fertilizers are just explosives so what can be worse
Weaponised crispr
honestly best vietnamese food imo
not so recent there waas trend of ppl that think if you change you body PH you will get more health and so on. if you change PH just for 1 point you will be dead. tbh you will die in pain and will horrible every minute of it
dayum boi
that's "Bun Cha"
my fav meal fr
But normal people can't do anything with that tho
I stopped opening my package just to look at that food
Nor can they even make em
That foods made me hungry
my parents get them occasionally when we visit grandma and grandpa
and the only reason that you stomac acid does not butn hole in you body is due to stomac cells regenerate faster then they gets destroied
But most people dont have the skills to do it even with chemicals
Look, the amount of stuff you can do with household chemicals is already concerning, I wouldn't be surprised if you could whip together some extremely dangerous stuff
oh where are you come from
north vietnam :v
Uncensored AIs might have the knowledge for that

planning to move to thailand when i have the cash
heyyyy
Δα»ng hΖ°Ζ‘ng :D
We're cooked
Oh hey something I know lmao
lol
true that. due to nature of my work i'm restricted to buy all house things on my bank card. i can have only around 200e per/m as cahs.
Yea forgot that lol
just so u know chat needs to stay in english!
If people can make a crystal m--- like chemical out of freaking cinnamon oil they can definitely make smth dangerous
with house chem you can do lot's of not so smart things to do.
Or mods may strike
I just buy everything through card anyway cause I don't do anything potentially sketchy
Dc should add an auto translate option
its a rule
Ik
π
it would be helpful
It also wouldn't be 100% accurate either
if you buy certain chem with bank card in span of 1y you will be visited by 3 letter agency for sure
some meaning would be lost from a translator
Fair point
i'm not alloweed to have pressure cooker in my house... fracking hell lol
And of course cultural stuff
I just don't have a pressure cooker π€£
Suffering from success
I have 2
I don't need one
i do not need it at all. but is just fun to think of it hehe]
LoL
I like not having the equivalent to a household explosive
Never had to make lentils fast loo
L
i kinda want to have a pressure cooker that can handle frying tho
Just use a frying pan
yea but where the fun in that?
and also you get juicier chicken
if you are some who have common sense and know how things are not safe you will not go in that area for sure. there is no need to be stupid and public about it
Just don't eat chickenβ’
........Atp lemme just get some clay and make my own one for all utensil
i actually just saw a bug bounty program for that a few days ago
doing things outside professional lab can go bad rly rly fast
idk if a vessel for making soup would be good as a spoon lol
and i love my life and have all body parts
Cool that they're trying tho
Let me correct it, 'Cooking utensil'
Yey rule following people not something that you have common with fabricators
Most of them all without some fingers atleast
yeah that would be called a dutch oven
and never listen advice from some rnd and dumb websites. do you own homework
Rednile
in general tbg
Wdym you're not supposed to cook with acids /j
It makes it spicy fr
I suffered a lot coz of this, but I am immune to learning from mistakes
Good no one likes to run away from problems
π€£
I don't learn from mistakes either, hence why I've broken ribs
what mistakes causes that

Nah I got nothing broken so far
if you wish, or anyone, to do smth on chem side. talk to chemist and ppl who know what they do. same as you going to doctor if you are sick.
you can chemically cook stuff with blended pineapple :v
Not going "ow, doing this snow run hurt, I'm not doing that again"
Ohk i remember I got 6 stitches on my forehead when I was 1.5 yrs old
Weaker ribs now
How do you miss the mark that early
Ribs done ever heal fully
yeah, it's worth a few dollars to try and prevent this as much as possible, lol
they're offering up to 25k rewards
when a "what can go wrong" turn into "everything can go wrong"
Fr
Love it when people say I'm smart, then they hear all the stupid things I've done and they just look at me with horror
Like yes, ya girl ain't the brightest lmfao
I was hyper active, family just came home from trip, I asked my cousin to play with me, threw my toys all over the floor, jumped high from bed onto toys and a sharp one pierced my forehead ig and funny part was when I just got done with stitches I asked my cousin to play with Me again 
Ye, I can see how it's worth it to prevent abusing the mainstream ones so at least some ppl will be filtered from it
in my professional chemist job life. i have 3x full building evacuation due to things goes bad. and i was never so scared in my life. i was puke of how scared i was and how things can go bad
GRIT
and that felling is not fun
Daymn
Try using a manual lathe
Can you link that to me in dms?
Idk maybe I didn't feel pain or something, they said I was fine (my mom)
Could be fun to try
all is ok if normal chem lab need evacuate. if you need evacuate due to BIO tech lab issues. then you know that things are bad
Hmmm
hence i stay away from bio shit lol
yeah, i mean, if you're going to go bounty hunting anyway... might as well do it on something that might actually save lives
Hell yeah
i sent you the link

Nah gotta go for the high value items
All this talk about food made me realize... i still have delicious raspberry cheesecake that needs eating in my fridge
If there's one thing i've realised in life growing up
I am a sampler
I love a sample
If we take one of my friends to a buffet heβll nust eat chicken nuggets and other fried stuff π
gimmie a few of bits and bobs y'know
real question is how long did you last before the ban, how much value was aquired in this mission
ask for two samples at the costco cheese stall, pretend to wanna buy and pull the classic "Yeah I'll have a think and come back"
done that at the 3 counties we had here last week
pure samples
I ate 16 full plates in about an hour
I wasn't paying for Β£16 for a pork roll
Bahahah
holy value, good shit soldier π«‘

take the ben from working classs but can't take the working class from ben etc
strong double dipper
a menace if you will
you take me anywhere with samples i'm maximising profits & time cost
Btw I found out what the word limit for my diss was- there was no limit just a suggested word count
For my project they gave me 8000 words, I wrote ~9000
it's like at the 3 counties show
That's better.
hello dkob!!!
"oh yeah I think the art is really neat, I can see that on my shelf, I'll think about purchasing a few bottles"
"oh would you like to try our different flavours"
LOL
GGWP
Honestly it was a terrible piece of work but itβs submitted now
The last few weeks is always the worst.
oh you submitted your diss??? Nice!!
Eh dw about wordcount there's always some weird criteria about what counts as "word count". It's mostly for small/under than above tbfh
Honestly it wasnβt too bad, my supervisor gave me a bunch of notesthe night before
I did an all nighter and barely even got half of what she asked to do so I gave up
My Bsc. Diss was 12k words where the suggested was 8k
the whole word count is more for "don't deliver a 7k"
Well I donβt think they had a requirement but for research products it was 8000 and for coding projects it was 6000
But those were only suggested that was like what you should aim for by the end
I like not having a word count because it actually felt like for months I could write an assignment and be detailed
yeah, they're very much "guides"
especially if you have crteria that is weird or not specific
Well fingers cross i graduate
like yes, 8k words I actually wrote, but the code and references and shit was waaay above 8k words
Ours was 9k 10% up/down.
No more than 11k, or you lose 10% of marks.
but if you didn't have your code nor references you'd fail so it's like
Haha
if I was going by 8k truly it'd only been like 4/5k words and then shit
so
very much a guideline. They don't want 20k, they don't want 6/7k
Codes, references and appendix donβt count towards the words
Same with tables
send me it if you're down π π im always down reading papers - as boring as I am
real ones know putting things in tables to avoid the WC 
Yes will do! Just waiting on the University to clear that I can send it out
Apparently I donβt own the rights to my paper π₯²
word counts are stupid
ah yup
that old chestnut
I have to ask for permission to share my Bsc, my Msc I'm still waiting on
I wanted to publish it internally because it relates heavily to TryHackMe
the uni owns all publishing rights to your paper
Yup really silly
but drafts are a loophole π
They donβt own the rights to my brain though, muhahah
fucking hell... i open window for 10 min. 17 fly, 3 elephants, 4 penguin, 7 giraffes fly in... fracking bussines trip...
you slaved over this we own this. Though, granted, that's the same with anything technical in the work place so I guess there's some realism
dumb ass Slovenia country
Lmaooo
I had to sign a contract for my Bsc dis because the Uni wanted to do whatever with it
It felt a bit ransom like
but it was 90% scoring
yeah lol
I just wonder what the logic is. Workplace makes sense. Is it because of professor guidance?
guranteed it's pattened soon
They said they were going to pay close attention to my paper
Because itβs sometbing the uni was interested in
Letβs hope none of the paper says βHere you go, a dissertation written like a Univeristy studentβ /s
It's basically an argument to say "we taught them what they know" even though they may not have, but it's more of a time thing "I.e. we gave them the opportunity to do x/y/z".
Then the Uni can use it as papers for patents, basis for PhD students/research projects, as well as advertising the University to industry partners "Look at what our students can do".
It's fucked because most of the time dissertations/projects are very independant by nature but yeah, it just benefits the University
like 80% of my Bsc diss isn't what I learnt at Uni but they owned the copyright to it so. They in legal terms can do whatever
Take me to court and Iβll show them my attendance, then letβs see who taught who 
i dont know how universities are funded in the UK, however when tax money is involved, its just fair it becomes open knowledge
10% student loans 90% ripping off international students
in an ideal world yeah
We pay Β£30k for the course they pay Β£30k a year for the same half assed education
It's almost like Universities are a cash cow and not a benefit for the general public 
here its 90% tax money, all papers are open .. on paper .. in a library .. without online access lol
plus student loans...Woof. I pay Β£400 a month out of my wage and I just pay the interest. It's fucked
basseed
I would be so on edge.
I would ask them why they told me that
π
I got a wage increase 80% of that went to tax and student loan payments. I'm still sitting at 74k to repay rn
What they researched/wrote/published was learned at and formed by this institution and it's staff therefore we own the rights to it. Seems wild.
Seems like they could find a way to use it as an advertisement for the uni without actually owning it.
I always wondered how much professor guidance is involved in say, a masters thesis. Probably depends on the program and university.

I canβt imagine taking a degree that I donβt end up using icl, Iβd be so annoyed all the time
Yes, I have some incredibly strong opinions about that, but maybe not for here 
They probably wanted me to actually care π€£
Maybe next time they should make an actually decent course
Since 2nd year everyone who asks me about Warwick Cyber I turn them away
I know a fair few amount of people who done Bsc in an area and work as some shopkeeper or shelf stacker to pay bills, because their field is so exclusive to get into. But they chose that as it "sounded good". Definitely not to diss shopkeepers/shelf stackers, heck, I was one of them.
It's just fucked how Unis advertise x/y/z prospects and then..oh...it turns out only one or two in your cohort of 80 will be hired
My uni advertising it was accredited but not actually being accredited until after we enrolled
Yeah, it is very wild π€£
Dissertations / research projects have very little input from professors or tutors, which is what it is wild to me. Even for my Bsc & Msc it was nothing taught on the course, so how could they claim copyright as their work....loool. yeah, it's crazy"
welcome to the UK alas
for example
art that a student produced for their projects or final project is not their own
the Uni own it
That's absurd
so whatever it can earn at sale (if it does) goes to the University
Makes you not want to try
Curious if it's the same in the US.
Why would you? Might as well put in minimal effort to get your A grade then produce art in your personal time.
Yeah, I can't speak for the US. I only done a Bsc & Masters here in the UK, I know it's very similar for PhD here in the UK. The Uni owns all of your work
Or writing or whatever
hey guys, whats the good website for note taking?
Because itβs like 60% of your final year grade
Obsidian? Notion?
ofc π
i think i found best fb things
https://www.facebook.com/share/r/18rAVTkPbn/
See posts, photos and more on Facebook.
Note take in Notion, publish in Obsidian
Sorta depends. Unis here have a very weird/specific grading system. For example, certain exams or assements have their own weighting depending on year.
LIke for my Bsc, I was useless at first and second year because it counted very little to my final grade, my 3rd year was the count whch got me the best result. There's some weighting and varianece to say (oh well you done good in 2nd year but not 3rd year so we'll calculate it as x/y/z) but 3rd year for me was the heighest weighting
From what I just read it depends on if outside funding is involved...at least for the US. So for undergrads, their work is most likely owned entirely by them.
But if you're a masters students and some outside org is funding the research, the uni owns it
2nd year is 40% and 3rd is 60% at Warwick
I'm sure there's a gargantuan gray area though
My Bsc. Diss counted for 80% of my fnal grade, so aslong as I didn't fail and even done maybe okay in 1st and 2nd year, I still got a high 1:1 degree
Excuse me? π
but there was different clasifications so if you done very well in 2nd year but not 3rd, then it still counts to some weighting
but 3rd year was generally the strongest weighting for classification across the board
that's how I got the grade I did 
out clubbing/raving to 5am lecture at 8am 
I was quite lucky that my Diss was that high lol
I thank the first part of Covid lockdowns due to that, after I submitted it I worked at the NHS
"morning"!
starting to wake up now, had a late night and an early morning, slept most of the day, had a hard drive crash yesterday on one of the servers. It was really bad, I knew that some of the disks were incredibly old and had been gone for many hours, and also in RAD0 without a proper backup. I know that it is playing with the danger of having RAID0 and no backup, especially on old disks, I have just been lazy and whining about it, I thought the last time the day before like "I have to fix the disks and back up as soon as possible" an update and reboot created a perfect storm and woke up the sectors that had been damaged but not read or written to until now.. Luckily in bad luck it was nothing important on it, all the code and so on is on another place, but still had to reinstall Proxmox and Ubuntu Server and get on with the project.. never again "I'll fix it later"...
hm for me it was benefitial, that two practical projects and 2 seminars were weighted a lot .. cant remember the exact percent anymore, but it gave me a solid B+ xD
My supervisor pretty much begged me to take time off work
Yeah, working the hours you do for a Bsc is crazy
Most full-time degrees tell you not to have a job, but mine has rules about full-time jobs 
ah yup, can relate. It's a thing that happens and you learn from π
Very sucks but you live and learn on continuity and failesafes etc
Leaving Univeristy with 4 years at a Cyber company though big up the CV
Yes!
I don't run anything ever under at least RAID2. Sucks to learn and halves your storage, but, y'know how it is haha
At the very least backups
I learnt the hardway π
yup
yep
Bsc it's almost expected someone has a part time job but Msc is fucking rough
working even part time (about 20-25 hours a week) plus Msc. SUCKS.
Yeah msc is crazy
Cause Msc all of your learning and work is outside of the classroom
Idk how you did it tbh
I can't remember the split but it's like
I'd have 5 hours a week lectures at most
40+ hours learning outside of that
lowkey almost killed me
Uni work was 5 days a week, THM was 2 days a week
Me too (I left after an hour) 
Yeah I get you
You poor thing
At least itβs over now you donβt have to do it again
unless you have a very speciifc goal for Msc it's basically useless at our age
like 80%+ of my class was middle aged folk or older doing Msc becuause their work paid for it and gave them the time off
LOL
And if you can get your company to pay for it double bonus
HAH
"I wanna have/build on my career during this"
It very needs to be Masters and no work. At all. Even part time
100% of efforts needs to be on your masters, even then it's intense af
Iβd rather do 20 hours a day in a help desk role than do a masters icl
fr man
I wanted to puruse with the whole buzz of doing well at my bsc
no no and this isn't gatekeeping
masters fucking sucks
Guys wht is osin
Open source intelligence
ESPECIALLY if you don't have an exact immediate goal
The art of using publicly accessible information on the internet
would never recc a masters unless your work is paying & giving time for it
or if you're like 60 and retired
Honestly big up you for doing well at bsc
Most people go from A students to pass students
2nd year I was expected a first 
Is anyone of you going to be at the london meetup?
Wht it's use
I havenβt seen my 2nd year grade
News to me O.o
Am also getting a bachelor's degree while working 4/5 atm, it's rough
you almost forget the meaning of the word "sleep"
more power to you! It's worth it in the end.
Rough, it sucks, sleep is a nonexistent thing but... π
sleep especially free time doesn't exist
Lets say Iβm trying to get into your account, I find your Instagram page where you talk about your dog βBenjiβ, and then your facebook page which has your birth date of 2002
I use that information to guess your password is βBenj!2002@β
this is a very niche example but itβs essentially using information that is accessible on the internet to perform an attack or gather information
Imagine a company uses firstname.lastname@company.com for their account emails, you pull up their linkedin and now you know a bunch of peopleβs email addresses for a phishing attack
Same
yeah, it's rough but i'm loving it. No regrets so far
especially the cybersecurity classes
My course admitted to quality problems
I think my bsc would have gone better if it was an actually good course
I know . this time was just a fuckup...:D
aight got a job/response talk later π
hi hi
Oh it's dengerous and thanks for explaining!

@rapid merlin new kitty Unlocked
No problem!

Ah I have meetings that day unfortunately
Wym community meetup?
That cat is so cute I might squeeze my phone out of cute aggression
Do u know any good osin tools?
NetCat or HashCat?`
Any browser is probably the best OSINT tool you could own
Learn how to Google dork, maximising the Googleβs search engine has saved me thousands of times
But they doesn't have that much time to guess the pass or use a tool and put the details he got to crack the pass?
I donβt understand what youβre asking π
Graycat hacker 
That's what the LinkedIn post says.
hehe
Ah right- I was curious because I was unsure if you meant a community organised meetup π
giv him a RAT to play with
Oh no not at all. π
Means they put the details in password cracking tool or they find the pass manually?
Well it depends really
They canβt crack your password unless they have the hash
So if theyβre just looking to get in your account they might gather information on the internet and then generate a password list and brute force
I canβt go too much into detail on how they would exactly do this because Iβd be breaking ethics but thatβs the gist
There are much easier ways of getting social media accounts, this is just a generic example
Ya by phishing
Mhm of course
Why can't I upload any image?
You need to verify

Just found out they cancelled an amazing show on Netflix 7 months ago
which one?
I swear Netflix cancel actually good shows and keep terrible ones
Yo one question wht is arch btw
Kaos
Mr Inbetween was cancelled, itβs not a netflix show but I was really enjoying it
life so lone tht i talk to e people
Doesnβt sound that lonely then π
Yup
Iβm sure there are places you can go and meet people in person if youβre interested
Arch is a linux distro, the reason why its in my name is since alot of people who use this distro flex it
Jabba how to increase my rank
trailer looks interesting af
Once you start talking to people the social anxiety goes away
Its a cool distro tho
its not anxiety
by doing more rooms and challenges on THM
its just i dont have anything to talk bout
Oh thx for explaining
Itβs such an interesting show, and incredible quality, they left it on such a cliff hanger too
Thx
See, what youβre doing right now is the worst thing you can do; assuming
Iβve had the absolute strangest conversations with random people, youβd be surprised
funny show
i dont know what to speak
Yeah i have the same but i also suck socially
Guys which virtual box u prefer?
im not nervous or scared
Virtual box
its just that i have 0 things to talk bout
Weβre talking about stuff right now
Ya
Which hypervisor you mean?
I haven't cared a bit about Rank and points before, but when I came second in the gold league last week and moved on to the sapphire league and have a top 7% ranking, it felt pretty fun anyway. But since I had a lot to do yesterday, I'm now #16 in the sapphire league, but I'll try to climb a bit during the day / evening,,:D
Complete rooms!
Let me first connect my acc
Idk can u explain
Craziest pwn challenge ever
Using windows
A hypervisor is the actual software the run virtual machines
I would check virtualbox by oracle
Well, you said which virtualbox.
I'm assuming you were actually talking about the software used to host virtual machines.
there's a Mr Inbetween movie as well, btw. IIRC it's called The Magician
Ya u are right
Vmware Workstation Pro.
Ok
Thx
