There was an old story that I made that I abandoned where darkfly was a demon and lightfly was an angel
48 pushups
Whats your bw
That's no opposite stupid
60ish
And it was a clash between the two
Def opp
Bruh 48 is childs play at that weight
It should be LightBird, coz birbs eats flies
Hmm
sure, what if it's just Body mass and not muscle mass

Lol then youre just far
You saying you have no muscle?
Fat*
And some people don't do proper pushups they just move hips up and down
Theres a diff btw showy muscles and strength muscles lol
Thats just bad technique
Just 100
Honestly, I want to do an ARG at some point
Bruh
Hmm
Arg?
48 oushuos lol
Augmented reality game
Hmmmmm
what's an ushuos?
Pushups
No the 100 ones, uk what it looks like 😂😂😂
I already know the lore for it. It would just require movie magic
Yooooo
Future director
Its pg lol
Just pushups
Essentially the genre is horror
Keep your mind clean ken
hehehehehe
A ton of art too.
My mind is cleaner than air u breathe 💀
Not possible
Try 0 and Kiwami ..peak
Mine could!
You live in city moron how would you know what clean air is
Also 6 and Gaiden (7) are good too
I have lived in an isolated place too
Hmmm you live on mountains or somthn
yeah
Welp you have forgotten the fealin tho
There's this new anime too called Wind Breaker ...gives kinda Yakuza vibes lol

Yeaaa

Sakura
Wind breaker was really good
Lush green forest, no vehicles radiation devices nothing 🙂 even u dont get network here, I lived there for 1 year

Hostel :]
Ken had to make critical life decisions

The animation with the fight scenes was absolutely amazing
Ye i wanted to there parents were against it xD
I would do 5-10th grade there, they took me back in 1 yrs
Yoo
XD
Well parents def did good
You are not be left alone
I didn't finish it, but I'll get around to it at some point
I only watched s1
You watch dub?
Honestly, spoilers only make me want to watch it to see that
Worth it
I watched mha with no context on the storyline initially
Mha is way too long
Then I binged it in like a week or so
got busy on google earth, whoops
Youre just 2 ep ahead
I binged the first three seasons or so in that time frame
Guinea went lookin for his home
This was in 2019 btw
Yuop covid was the craziest time
Watch 9,10 ... you're missing good shit
Ik but can wait lol
Covid significantly helped my grades in college


Well it helped me become worse tbh
Hehe
I now have way to many interests
Covid batch for 12th
No board exam
alright, how many?

Way too many
Biggest flex of the generation lmao
List. Them.
Lol
Way too many
I do not care. List. Them.
My one professor in my community college was based asf. This one person said something like "I didn't do good can I take it again." The professor was like sure
Yes.
Sheldon cooper
Welp that child didnt see the light of day

💀
We had a pop quiz the one time and he left the room right. The moment he left everyone started looking up the answers
Cause they all came from quizlet
He went to Google
...to google the answers?
I meant, went to search for answers on google ^

Though, in the college for my bachelors. I had a professor that looked like a doppelganger of tim allen
Did you get new kittens?
whenever I figure out how to hack neuralink:
I've seen a person who looks like a doppelganger of Zuckerberg too
Not again ...but these are apparently new too (2.5 months old)
It was an old coworker's husband
He's watching 
Brute force by sending 1 max value for one of the neurons, and there will be wrong output for one of it
I was hoping for the fight lol
It's gonna be like when you hack an NPC in cyberpunk 2077.
person being hacked:

Morals yeeted out the window
Just upload the rickroll to their peripheral vision or their brain
Did u read up article image classification failing? Due to one specially crafted black pixel
No escape.
It plays non stop 24/7
Bye
I think eventually they'll go insane
Bye!
The russians would love that

295
If you are still here type "no, I am not here at the moment, you have the wrong person, yet I am here at the moment, thus I am not."


Ngl I hope the next cyberpunk game goes more in depth with the netrunning/hacking

Brain.exe crashed... Running diagnostics
gn everyone
I am back
Suspect, brain_rot.exe
Windows Offline Diagnostics found no such malware
Suspected DoS attack with:
"no, I am not here at the moment, you have the wrong person, yet I am here at the moment, thus I am not."
Hi back
No

What does safe boot do?
Cuz that's me ;-;
It's used for Trouble shooting by kinda isolating the system by only turning on Trusted softwares and programs
noooooo
Okay
Well gotta go
DSA class starting lol
;-;
It's okay, all u need is a c4
Easy
Yes. I don't wanna be here
me fr when i stay up too late
Just annoy professor with 100 questions
Little nightmare?
Lmao
That's my strategy for DSA
Little nightmares 2
Ah ok
yeahg
They won't leave lol

Well then ur solution to your problem isn't in p=np
Or whatever that is 
Stop talking Abt DSA ;-;
😂
I'd rather hear a rant about UDP than that
I understand
Kay ttyl
Both are interesting to me tho
Cya
Good luck surviving dynamic programming
U will need that
YOOO
They're teaching OS and NETWORKING
Let's fking gooo

Hell ya
Now u dont have to suffer solving problems with O(n³)
He's asking "What is DP"
Lol
Said he'll teach all networking and OS in 3 hrs
oof
Only "interview necessary questions" for frontend developers
"unless you wanna go in networking, you won't need more."
Unfortunately I wanna go in networking
"If you wanna go networking, you'll need network plus and CCNA. Frontend has more opportunities and is better"
He said
Lmao
yea it's not much of important in networking, but helpful, basic dsa not advanced parts xD
For those who would settle with less
For those who won't get anything more than html css jobs
Lol
Front end is more than html css, but yes
Fronted earns less than UI ux xD
Less work more money
Atleast in my country that's the case
More opportunities - Yes
Better ? - No
Unless u wanna go be in a sheep line like everyone else
Even full stack claimers are usually just Front end peeps who Vibe code Backend lol
That's why I chose cyber. Everyone today is doing #100daysofDSA, full stack dev and AI
AI is fine but that also they are making for useless stuff
Like ...astrotalk xD
I love cyber and it's now as crowded
I read on a machine learning subreddit that chatgpt has the largest astrological database
I have gpt plus. So my roommate used it
Hmm
It made a whole planetary chart using python lol
Lol
He's deep in ui ux now and he's loving it lol
He despises software engineering that our college forces on us
The salary is way too low, isn't it?
Midnight chat
Not the right channel to put this
🌉
Then go join some UI UX academies and get a degree from there lol
We r in final yr btech. Too late for a college. I told him to start with Google's UI UX certificate. Hes doing that
Oh my god. I thought it was a random idea but it’s real.
I was thinking how wonderful it would be if a thunderstorm and snowstorm occured at the same time
It actually happens sometimes.

I need to relocate to wherever this magical region is
Its called thundersnow
I’m obsessed now
With three years of experience in cybersecurity, you can definitely ask for a higher salary
So 3 years doing things that isn’t job experience? I see
Alright, I think you can land a job with a lower salary first, and then negotiate for a raise after working there for a while
Companies dont take highschool students as per labour laws of the country (usually)
right.. you have cert experience but no job experience. Usually, from what I’m told, even if I had 6 years of doing hacking things it only amounts to 1 year equivalent job experience (if lucky) and doesn’t register well on automated application reviews
Try to get internships and Apprenticeships
mornin
I’m not certain.. did you get paid and contract signed?
Otherwise it’s volunteer work which still is good to put on the resume
agree. certifications is all fun and learning. working is sometimes boring, sometimes stress and doing things you dont want to do lots of times
Morning 🌞
Cool. Possibly paid work as long as it was legal and can be verified. Usually employers will call to verify employment. Or confirming independent contractor
You don’t want to lie on your resume
So be absolutely sure what to categorize what you did.
I did some short term contract work and would reference the person who hired me for the short week.
I got banned at fiverr 🙂
was banned just for using a VPN and that was "suspicious"

5 emails saying that I was legit but nope
they must've had enough freelancers already
Lol
o/ night. I do recommend trying internships but usually they target college. You might get in if you talk to people who make hiring decisions vs just throwing your application
If you get in, feel lucky. If you don’t, that’s kinda normal for where you’re at
what vpn provider?
a VPN at my job
Private vpn? Maaaaannnn
yes
Tbh I got denied unemployment cause my phone registered in a different state even if I was physically where I’m supposed to be. I had to prove I was in the state when I filed lol
This without vpn
yo im new in cyber security what can i do to improve my skill in pentesting ?
and you could prove it some other way?
Lucky I had a receipt from the grocery store ;_;
ah the good old receipt
Yah, I was a pandemic furlough. Came out ok though
Interesting they had a check like that
Unemployment is real
I’m wasting away
McDonald’s wouldn’t hire me idk what im doing wrong atp 
squatters in spain use pizza delivery receipts to "prove" they lived there already. https://www.spanishpropertyinsight.com/guides/squatters-in-spain/
click on pizza delivery receipt trick
after 48 hours a squatter cannot be removed from a home legally. Although there are companies where you can hire tough guys who kick them out
check out #start-here
Maaan what was that person who was irritating a squatter live lol.. i have to look it up
Hi I am IFP CyberFardin I am new here I am 16 years old and I want to learn cyber security .How can I learn . I know about networking . Some Linux commands . And more but I'm stuck on what I should do now 😭😩
I think it was Asian Andy lol
ok checking


Hi! check out #start-here to get started
you might well make a macro for this message or save it in your clip broad
honestly lmao
Ugh this teacher is so garbage
maybe that's what i'll use the stupid copilot key for
He's teaching definition of LAN for last 40 min
doesn't do me much good on a linux machine
i mean, is it like interesting or just really boring
EXTREMELY boring
o7 try not to fall asleep lmao
This is all he taught in last 1hr 15 min
you pen and paper so might as well make a few doodles
My drawing is shit
doesn't matter if it make you less bored
This is what I'm doing lol
you have nice handwriting
Thanks but it's garbage
Gave +1 Rep to @blissful current (current: #134 - 64)
Mine's worse
Thanks but no it's not lol
my print is shit, cursive is a little better
Unless I slowly write something
take the complementtttt
No

then ye shall drown in them
Thanks tho lol
NO



woe be upon ye who shalt not accept thy compliments

I have milk tea :3 yay

🧋
No boba. Just milk tea
but thats one of the best parts
Nuuuuuu
noice



Boba always reminds me of that meme
Wot meme
goat turd
REAL

I haven't yet

kinda depends

Waste of 300₹
i kinda fuck with mint flavoured boba
Lmao
Here oreo shake is ₹100
I bought Prime can for 900 lol
Uh-uh
The blueberry flavour i believe
Ofc
I feel like I need to enroll in a coaching for CEH
I opened their subreddit yesterday
And it's full of people failing it by 1 or 2 marks

N I shat my pants right there
Did u drink anything more than sugar in water? And some flavors? And soda?
-# well there's your mistake
I have 0 confidence now lol
I cried when I did my first ctf, like not actually cry but ofc felt like I am,shit I couldn't do anything xD
Yes. Very strong blueberry flavour. It was good. Probably worth like 150 ish lol if you compare to coke can
Same

me fr
I'm sorry 😐
i believe in you tho, you'll get it
Funny thing was that KSI and his gang had came here in India to promote that shit thinking tons of people would actually buy it lol...in India ...LMAO
Thanks. I'll bite you if I fail
Gave +1 Rep to @tight trout (current: #241 - 35)
So how can u hold up now?
i can not fail horribly 
fair deal
Guys, a general question how much hours do u study Or practice hacking per day

my first CTF was certainly an experience
Unless they make it equal pricing as coke and Pepsi, nope. People only buy sting cuz it's cheap af, red and gives an immediate sugar crash instead of red bull
my last competition in the NCL i placed like 75th out of 8500 so i def have more confidence now
so u can still do it with help of hints and sometimes walkthrough?
how to access general vc?
verify
mm
@wild swallow
ah
oh you're talking like THM ctfs
haven't done one actually lmao
probably would horribly fail
Wtf I am suffering from extracting a zip hidden inside Png file, bin walk cannot detect it,
so i used online binwalks, then in that I managed to Get password, but i cannot.unzip it, with unzip not with 7z it fails
Depends on people to people
As for me I'm unemployed (fortunately just for 2 more weeks b4 job starts) so I give pretty much the whole day as I don't have anything else to do ...or atleast 1-3 hrs (not continuously/straight 3 hrs) of actual learning then a bit of relaxation in between
Unzip tells me that there is extra bits at start
Ikrr
binwalk -ee fuckingthing.png?

legit throwing another e on it can make it work
I started about 1.5 months ago and prepping for CEH and eJPT so 8 hrs on a good day, 4 hrs when I don't wanna study
idfk how tbh
Excluding college work
aw shit it's already 1
night night mint-chan
i didn't say i was going to bed lmao
Who sleeps at 1. The night is just beginning
Lol
i thought you were gonna
+rep
Gave +1 Rep to @tight trout (current: #232 - 36)

it can't detect, my binwalk, where as guy using binwalk managed to extract and also detect, for me it only fetch png file
i mean i did when ash went back to bed, but then i woke a few hours later
its 12 i the afternoon here
:v
Lol sleep off the afternoons ✅
i actually haven't touched my laptop at all today

i believe in your ability to survive the class physically, mentally i'm not sure but i would've broken by now
I am shattered
I mean ...if you reached final year ..all these stuff should be piece of cake in surviving
I can teach better. If I were him, id open wireshark and show every layer practically
There should be a pedagogy exam necessary to be a teacher
Ugh
okay zombie i'll go to bed im actually kinda tired
In my case I had barely attended classes 5th sem onwards and went to more hackathons than the classes

night yall
Good night
alright night night fr this time lol
Night night Mint-chan
This is placement training. I can't miss a single class
Same for me in my sem 2 sem 3 for masters
In my college it sucked
I said I don't wanna sit for it

Waste of money
I asked if I'm allowed to go for internships if I got one
Their reply
"Withdraw from placements and go"
Classes > internship for them
Yes colleges are shit

and tbh and if u got good internship
Withdraw from placements, they will come begging to take it back
speaking from exp
I got shortlisted for Police Cybersec internship ;-;
Take it lol
I can't go because of my college

rip
take it dude

resume > college
Fuck college and attend internship
I'll try. My family is still hard on placements
Tho it's near impossible to get in cyber from college
does your college do onlline classes
Do it secretly...tell the college faculties about the internship with proper letter about it and exaggerate that only u got selected or sum shit from the whole college ..big opportunity n shit like that
They'll allow after doing some drama
No. The placement cell only Exists to make our lives as miserable as possible
just imagine u are sitting in the same company placement as your colleagues and ur cyber sec intern will 100% have more value then their placement training, and entry in Field is 100x more important than being training for entry 😂 take it dude
Like THERE'S 0 LOGICAL SENSE in denying someone police internship to attend classes on arrays
Placement cells, depicts you to companies as slaves tbh
They'll kick me out of placements if I go lmao
Take leaves ...no placement seminars and training really be over 2-3 days tbh
If they're teaching n shit it's something u can do on ur own too nothing that complicated
Hmm okay
They don't teach u anything more than basics which aren't even useful, my college placement ratio was only 40% anyways
Just make sure the degree isn’t part of hard job reqs
THIS guy literally asked "Am I going too fast"
Idk write letters and submit to them face to face and show some proofs of what u r doing and it's legit n all ...talk with them ... similar shit is in my college too
But talking and explaining can do the job
If one authority does allow ..try with some other
Mine is 100 but they're aholes. They publish the placement result after 1st round of placements lol
Me n my team had made a serious impression over the dean of academics and even the Vice Principal so hard that we could get the green light on anything we would try to do lol
I don't trust it, sometimes company bulk hires and then after 8 month doesn't send offer letter
Yeah ...and laysoff too ...some scams been happening in my college too ..those companies were removed afterwards
What was ur CGPA
Ye emails do help
Between 7-7.5
Final is now 7.8
Opposite lmao
9+ Cgpa People are usually Mug-up Answers kinda people
No skills n shit
Yes. True
All the toppers of my class with 9+ cgpa are unemployed
Meh, xD lies I got 9.25 in bachelors xD ( didn't appear for placements that was my issue) and ye clg did have 100%
1-2 are employed at some Mass Recruiting companies
Ye these people's are just the ones with theory knowledge
Sucks in practical
Well you should be in a good referral position by the time I graduate

Are yall in same state?
Idk
Idk
I'm in Bangalore
I'm from Lko
Oof noice
I'm not living with my parents. Heck I'm never returning lol
Traffic sucks
Nor am i
Buy a helicopter
My home's in Rajasthan
Bish stop spraying salt on my wounds.
During masters I was living on rent
Same shit different place
U have done masters too?
In what ? BCA then MCA?
Mca
Ah ok ok
bsc it then mca
Okays 
Probably will go out
Everyone's backup plan lol
It was mine too
Waste of time u can earn much more without that
I got 3 backups: Mtech, MBA, cheap Alcohol
Was planning to do MTech in Australia
Ended up getting an Australian Company's Job in India lmao
Work hard 2 yrs and move to Aus
Yeah
Then adopt me once you get the citizenship
Lol
I will go back to My business in 2 yrs while freelancing
Wot business

Mhmm I just don't enjoy it xD
Yeah making ransomwares is obviously more fun
This junior is selling security+ coupon for 10k
He bought 2 coupons thinking he might fail
But he passed first attempt

I can't buy that..I'm more than overwhelmed with ceh and eJPT
Should I get pt1
Ya, Stacking cert will cause more pressure and problems
I'll buy it after few months of saving
Seems worth it enough for beginner level
Okay will go get it
Fop
I'll probably go for CCNA after this. MAYBE sec plus if I see a lot of security analyst jobs
I already have it saved 😐
cute fox
Hiring season is about to start
would pet

Foxxxxxyyyyy
Maple foxes are kyut
Helloo Ashlyn
What sorta end goal are you looking for? SOC, Sec Eng, Net Sec?
If you're going for net sec, can I recommend the CCNP Sec?
good morning! have a productive day/peaceful night
Focus one at a time tho ...and do see the latest job market value of the cert before doing any too
Red team definitely. But getting cyber domain is the top priority. Blue team has more openings and growth potential
You too
Ya after om done with ceh and ejpt
Ahh nice, the eJPT, CRTP (if that's what it was), CCNA should be a fine starting point then

The CEH is basically useless outside of countries like India
Unfortunately I'm from India so I have to lol
Passed CRTP just yesterday got the results (:
Oh lol
Noice
I'm not gonna do ceh mastery tho. Only theory for hr shortlisting
I gotta renew my satcom certs
May end up going into NetSec
Or specialising in satellite communications and engineering
Bye chat i will do some work
That sounds fun
They had changed the pattern very recently
But majority of the things were same as previous patterns
Nice
Gives 5 machines on a domain to enumerate and priv esc thru and make a report
I think of ALOHA when I hear satellite comms. Ik it's old af lol
I may take SATCOM classes next semester cause I need the review work for me IAMEC
Wtf is that archaic shit
Communication protocols
All my homes hate ALOHA 

Obviously inefficient af
Oh ik
Lol
@sinful bobcat 0xE when?
Nobody uses it anymore, right?
Then Ashlynn will hack Elon Musk's Satellites
Yesnt
Real
that seems extreme, don't you think?
Lemme check the profile
We have to use it still for free-space comms with old systems
Was joking but ok
I don't have to hack them, they fall out of the sky anyway 🤣
LMAO
kessler syndrome go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Well
Damn. Isnt it's efficiency like 33%? With slotted aloha?
Yeah
Old satellites have to use it tho
oof, that will take a bit
And new satellites need backwards compat if they're joining the constellation
congrats, did u do anything other than theyr course before buying their stuff?
Sounds painful
💀
No
All the systems to do it are pretty much readily available so we don't have the pain of writing it ourselves
Considering it took about 1 or 2 months to get here, I'm sure that it wouldn't take more than 30 days now
Their own course and Lab material was enough
I wanna get at least 0xD this summer and 0xE if possible

A little bit of THM AD rooms I had done apart from that
goood luck, took me a bit
when did u start?
We use TCP/IP nowadays anyway as one of the many protocols
ahh, it shouldn't take too much time then
three months ago
Naaah
Yeah

You can't tbh
Networking isn't some short class
Usual college shenanigans
There's shit tons going on in the model
osi model is too difficult
It's not difficult
ya thts tru too tho
It's just a lot of content going on
difficult to remember
Nehhh how did u do it then?
too much going on
why remember it understand it
Knowing how the layers interact with each other and how to jump between them is the key
Cause you need to know it all as a network engineer
Which was my last job
I mean, I can remember some stuff while doing the rooms, but I had to go back and look again sometimes
I still don't remember the encapsulation stuff I just refer to notes tho
understanding it is what im saying isntead of remembering it*. remembering can make you forget stuff, understanding it can make you remember it automatically in case you forget
Just wait till you deep dive into the intricacies of every layer, there's no way anyone will fully understand how it works
@dark mason I'll try to sort out work asap, some rooms later ?
Presentation Application Session Transport uhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hmmm
not easy to remember ngl
ah i havnt really done all that so im just saying as a general rule of learning. but ill surely understand what u mean in a few months 😂
Lmfao
I have 2 more weeks till my finals exam, I gotta focus on it, after the 2 weeks we can grind as crazy
No from Physical layer side
I haven't done much rooms tho needing osi model stuff
Physical is wayyyyy below
That's under data link
Damn then go 150% for the exams and then rooms together
ye
Inner most varies on context
Innermost in SATCOM is transport and data link
Then session and application
I meant just from the generic view of OSI model
OSI is EASY once you start using wireshark a lot 🙂
That's top down
wireshark my beloved
Innermost is transport
Yeah you start at presentation then
Wrong wordings mb
currently going through AD basics 
please do not throw sausage pizza away
shit
wait, then what's the order?
I know it starts with physical, data link, ends with application
smth smth
Application presentation session transport network data physical
There's no definite order, it's an explanation not a solution
Order varies on the context
ahh, ok
application, presentation, session, transportation, network, data, physical
Different models varies the order
if im not mistaken
most of the time i use tshark & later i look into it with wireshark what about you
The generic OSI model
Hey
hello!
When can i join koth?
oh, you already wrote it 
i've only use wireshark for CTF's so far

so no real world usage yet
Same
You need to set your profile to intermediate on THM.
TCP/IP model 
Yes , how by joining rooms ?
Yeah, you sign up to a KOTH game, and then you get an IP.
oh sad think about how much fun you would have riding the tram && using "eapol || wlan.fc.type_subtype == 0x08" for example 😛
Can I join y'all in any CTFs your team is participating in and has space?
hmmm maybe
ask ashlynn she the sorta-leader of our team
@knotty valve
how many members your CTF team have?
4 so far
fair enough, i see a CTF teams with shitload of members, i don't get the point
13 here, playing effectively between 5 and 8
wow, that's quite a few
can i join ur team
I usually play alone :/
We are incredibly low on rev and pwn tho
aren't you already in L3ak?
If anyone has some skills on it and it's looking for a team, let me know lol
Why ):
lmaoo
Not many I know are super interested
What categories do you like more ?

go to pwn.college
recruit there
or ctf discords
Thanks 
I dunno.. osint and rev
I don’t do crypto fast enough
what is crypto tho
Cryptography
Cryptography
you mean like cracking passwords, etc?
trash at it, but in CTF teams there are people with lots of different skills
Cracking Hashes and Encodings and Encryptions
Usually writing code can help if you got the encryption. Then you reverse the process
different attacks on different algos, like common modulo, chinese remainder theorem, cube root just to name some basic ones
some can be good at cryptography others can be good at binary exploitation
Binex is fun
There is a ciphertext, you gotta find the cleartext
ok, makes sense, I thought crypto was smth else 
Not the Bitcoin lol
absolutely, we recruit per category usually
in what category you are good at?
im the core forensics player for our team
i do windows rev once it comes up
or some misc stuff like reversing gameboy rom
if im bored i look @ OSINT
i don't know why but i felt this rush of trying my best, that's really cool
Those misc challenges are always interesting
hope someday im gonna join a CTF team
keep grinding, reading writeups for challenges you cannot solve, once you have a solid foundation it will be easy to progress
Best category
eg: once you understand pwn a bit, ret2win, ret2libc and other basic stuff, doors open to more advanced topics like heap / kernel
the thing with reading writeups for a challenges makes your imposter syndrome bigger, i don't know! like bro you can't solve it on your own and you read writeups? but i'm fighting this voice, cause it's fixed mindset
obv it takes time but u will get there eventually
thats how i learned, and other strong players on my team
What’s the point if you don’t learn. You can black box your way to learning it but what’s best is do what you can for the time it’s open. Then analyze where you went wrong or what you did right
just read the writeup understand the attack / exploit, come back to the challenge a week or two later to solve it on your own.
true that's what i told to myself it doesn't matter how you learn what matters is that you keep learning and growing your skills
Hey guys, in ctfs, how do you identify a string is what type of encoding or hash or encryption?
noted! thank youu so much
Gave +1 Rep to @edgy ferry (current: #782 - 7)
good morning hope you are well. today i woke up much later than usual, was unusually tired in the morning, which i am not usually.. but it was nice to sleep in for a long time than usual! yesterday i started a fun project where i will let 10 different Ollama models with different "personalities" join my Discord server where they will be able to discuss different things with each other on their own initiative and i will be able to lead the conversation if i want. although each model will have unique characteristics they will all be focused on pentesting/security in different ways. really fun project, of course i document everything and have rolling updates on my blog and when everything is done i will release everything on GitHub.
some you just understand, some require guessing or utilizing websites like dcode.fr
Online tools like dcode
dcode.fr thanks! Any other tools that can be useful?
Gave +1 Rep to @edgy ferry (current: #714 - 8)
cyberchef with "Magic" option
You're still on cooldown
and intensive mode
If it’s ctf you also might have to more elastic thinking than just straight decode too
Alright, thank you so much @edgy ferry and @blissful current
True
Nowadays I can identify base64 and base32
my good teammate wrote this tool as well:
https://sylvie.fyi/tools/kullback/
for certain challenges it was able to identify stuff platforms like cyberchef / dcode couldn't
Damn
There was one ctf where a string was rot# different for every 3-5 letters.
Woah
literally guess ctf bro 😭
I would have taken hours to solve that lol, I'd go
so......
solu....
soluti..
solution
Guess the CTF 2025 was crazy
Lnaw I cracked it lol helped out the group

It was for a community challenge. Just one part
How do you guys form teams?
Learning and playing CTFs
I found my “team” standing in line at defcon @_@ but they’re not a hardcore team and only do defcon stuff
No I mean, are they your real life buds or friends you make along playing ctfs
damn
usually teams start with just a group of friends but it depends
Can be both
and how recruition process works? you notice skilled hackers?
Other friends who can do CTFs don’t really want to but they told me stop doing easy ones cause I won a few or finished high
Whatever team I'm in always plays like 1 ctf and gives up. I keep trying to convince them but no one comes back 😔
It depends by the team
It can take a bit of time to form a proper active team, don't quit
After a while doing easy ones don’t teach anything.. and honestly I wish I could be Google ctf level. That’s like a long term goal
Yeah I'll never quit, I l'll keep learning and playing even if I'm alone lol
you'll be one day! keep going, guys you like you motivates me so much
Eventually I'll find a good permanent team
some teams have recruitment forms, some have B teams, some give you a trial if you fit their criteria
what about your current team? how did you joined L3ak
i made L3ak 😂
Tbh finding time is tough so I don’t wanna let down a team ❤️ I care about being there and being dedicated
congrats on your team being 4th in ctftime
That is awesome!!
ty! we are trying our best
Gave +1 Rep to @wary saddle (current: #1161 - 4)
we hope we'll see you 1st one day going above r3kapig
I really have to learn more.. I feel behind. Life is life
Hi
How can i identify what the game is about in koth?
Omg if your team gets to defcon ctf that would be so cool :3 and you don’t have to be up 24/3 anymore 😂
you are not, it's you vs you. i could say the same thing, but i'm going on my own pace
it's not a sprint
r3ka is a very big and established team, definitely someone we respect. they always give us solid competition
we were off by one spot
for qualifying this year
tho imo defcon ctf is very overrated
not a lot of people like it
I dunno :3 I only watch
I did wonder how the Commodore 64 thing went that one year

I think I’ll just stick to the small defcon contests. They are fun.
oh absolutely
those are always a blast
didnt u win like 2-3 last year
2
One unofficially.
The year before I won 1
It was a co-win cause of the prize
like “no challenge no fun”
but i see why they are 1st
win 3 this yr 🙏
Nuuuuu I told myself I’d enjoy defcon this year instead of hiding in a hotel room lol
i would love to visit defcon but it’s only in the US right?
But a few friends of mine might casually play spy vs spy lol
Or foxhunt is always fun too cause it’s one of the few times you can do this in person lol
yeah, but some cities have defcon groups
which are more casual
No defcon group in my state :/
sometimes it sucks to be European, but we have CCC in Germany(im not from Germany)
Hmmm what about a hacker space?
hallo again everyone
Ello
it is now almost 2 AM.
cybersecurity is not popular in my country
i was gonna ask if u were with 801 labs cuz we share a mutual 😭
Sometimes getting a group together just for hacker space turns into something more
Ohhhhh is that babint’s fault lol
Sleep american
I would love that! hacker friends
had one before but he left cybersec for maths/chemistry and IQ puzzles
nah.
maybe 😭?
i might do some sort of talk if i visit utah
uh..I meant TRIPLE NO!
He gave up YES
also i heard saint con is good
Yup looks like it’s her fault lol. I’m also in 818 and 256? I think?
loool i stop at 909
in every dc group discord that isnt my city 🔥
But with the new rules they have to rename themselves to something that’s not a number starting this year I think?
i heard about the drama, group in tennessee wasnt happy about it so im pre sure they left the group scene
It’s an accountability thing. Some groups do not-so-good things
mornin everyone 🙂
I think in part because defcon has to sorta sanction them? Or at least register them
probably something along those lines yeah, im not really following that topic if im gonna be honest
Well..good morning, it is currently 2 AM for me, so yes, it is indeed morning.
