general

[loud marlin]

@fleet pivot i wait for you to crack it. you have 72h...

[ripe sleet]

It's also good in the sense of being able to appreciate the amount of work that goes into a single ctf.

[lavish rune]

what exactly do u mean by walkthrough

[rapid merlin]

any room that wouldnt give you a hard time. for example those cve rooms where you need to read what this cve is about and run given script to test it

[lavish rune]

oh okay thanks

[rapid merlin]

like those rooms where you need to give an answer based on the text in task

[ripe sleet]

Cause most times you only see what was created, but you don't see the steps to create it sorta. From the three that I did. It expanded my knowledge by a lot

[lavish rune]

i just found out abut those challenges they look fun, ill chosoe one my level that i dont ene dto learn anything for

[lavish rune]

tbh i like interactive rooms

like one with a machien that i need to navigate in to get answers

iykwim

[ripe sleet]

Regardless, thank you Muiri!

[lavish rune]

im gonna start with some eays challenge rooms theng o to OWASP

thanks! @rapid merlin

[rapid merlin]

yeah i meant "easy" comparing to ctf rooms. but you still would think what to answer

[lavish rune]

oh yeah

[polar spoke]

not anymore 🙂

[sand trench]

[polar spoke]

lol

it is still slow usually

[sand trench]

shadow wants their password on their machine to be safe from cracking

[polar spoke]

hashing algorithm probably matters like, 20%

80% on how you generate the password

and if you do it correctly, 100% on how you generate the password

[sand trench]

yeah fair

[loud marlin]

is ZFS kinda bad for SSD's ?

[sand trench]

a bad password can still easily be cracked

[polar spoke]

it's quite easy to make passwords that you cant crack, yescrypt or MD5, doesn't matter

[polar spoke]

if not handled well, it can be a bit of extra writing

but unless they are serving as arc, it shouldn't be too bad

[sand trench]

the problem with md5 is people will just generate a random file that matches your hash :D

[loud marlin]

hmm... in proxmox i set zfs. just kinda bit worried 🙂

[polar spoke]

lol i wish, i'd do that so often

[polar spoke]

it will probably be fine

[sand trench]

shadows german friend uses zfs everywhere

[polar spoke]

if it causes issues, you'll know long before its a problem from SMART

[polar spoke]

same

ZFS on mostly everything with multiple disks

[loud marlin]

is just on prox backup server one ssd

I wouldn't mind going to Alaska for a couple weeks

[crystal mauve]

Colorado is beautiful , I love it too

[stiff wraith]

Camping up there in the summer would be awesome

[fleet pivot]

idk bro me personally i dont really like the state

[stiff wraith]

The only issue I have with Colorado is the prices

[crystal mauve]

It’s not as bad as Vancouver

[fleet pivot]

💀

[stiff wraith]

I know, I've seen people online complaining about how expensive BC has become

[stiff wraith]

that's beautiful

[stiff wraith]

oh

well anyway if i go back i'd love to go skiing

[fleet pivot]

idk man its a pretty dead place, its a normal place, idk why ur obsessing over the state💀

nothing special about the state

denver is mid

[crystal mauve]

It’s so cool , the amphitheater is built around natural rock formations, acoustics are insane and the stars light up the sky since it’s not close to the city

[fleet pivot]

there's nothing much to do downtown

[crystal mauve]

U aren’t even old enough to go out what do u know

[fleet pivot]

?

[crystal mauve]

Probably play Roblox all weekend

[fleet pivot]

i can

and ive stayed there before, its dead

just plain old sht

nothing special

it looks ugliar than my city

there's not much to tour in america tbh

[crystal mauve]

Have u even been to casa bonita Jared

[knotty valve]

I can disagree from when I was there in 2019 lmao

[stiff wraith]

I was there in January, it was nice

[stiff wraith]

Dude sick!

[fleet pivot]

no

[knotty valve]

Loved it tbh

Would go again but recent things happening it isn't worth the money to get turned back around

[fleet pivot]

ain't no way bro went to colorado just to visit a resuaturant💀 im dead

[stiff wraith]

True

[crystal mauve]

Never been on a weekend getaway i see

[knotty valve]

Defcon is 100% worth the money imho

[fleet pivot]

Denver nuggets

[crystal mauve]

Usually you EAT on trips, do you not EAT food? Are you a cyborg or something

[knotty valve]

Expensive but worth it thanks work for paying for it

[stiff wraith]

Hey, if you got it for free that's even better!

[fleet pivot]

yes but there's nothing special about the restaurants

[knotty valve]

Fr

[crystal mauve]

You’re clueless

Would be a nightmare to spend a day w you

[fleet pivot]

the only good thing about colorado is the buffaloes

[knotty valve]

Lmao

[fleet pivot]

eh

kinda good team

[stiff wraith]

Fr, I'm not bringing him backpacking

[fleet pivot]

nah it would be fun

[crystal mauve]

Casa Bonita is not about the food it’s about the experience

[fleet pivot]

if you were to spend a day with me it would be litty

[crystal mauve]

The food could suck ass it’s about having fun

[knotty valve]

Litty 💀

aurora type

if not, you shoulda went there

colorado is a B state ngl

the hoods there ain't dangerous

[knotty valve]

Why does this sound so edgy 🤣

[ripe sleet]

Because it's a certified Jared moment

[fleet pivot]

does ur state have dangerous hoods?

[ripe sleet]

Yup

[knotty valve]

Everywhere does lmao

Even Japan does and they have one of the lowest crime rates

[fleet pivot]

my state is even more dangerous

[ripe sleet]

Ok? You want a gold star or something?

[stiff wraith]

Math is the language of the universe

[lavish rune]

are active directories important?

[mortal ether]

Active Directory?

[lavish rune]

yeah

[mortal ether]

Lots of companies use it, so it's always useful to know

[pallid lotus]

Ironically, maths is arguably the foundation of all creation. Or, our expression of it at any rate.

Put it this way: biology doesn't work without chemistry. Chemistry doesn't work without physics... Guess what physics doesn't work without

TL;DR: maths is beautiful. Learn to love it.

[stiff wraith]

Mathematics is a language, learn the basics and everything else becomes second nature

[steady pewter]

hallo everyone

[tight trout]

hiya part 2

[ripe sleet]

Hello!

[steady pewter]

So..how is everyone? (pt 2)

[tight trout]

just sitting aback down again to do some more stuff

[steady pewter]

Ah. Well, I just got back from eating lunch.

So..what is the most deranged project anyone here has explored in computers?

[ripe sleet]

[molten solar]

Anyone here use a spinning-rust drive for boot booting linux?

@steady pewter A two part proggy. A frontend for my password change manager for various access methods (websites, linux accounts, AD/SQL/etc accounts) that encrytped passwords and stored the encryption key AND the symetric key used to encrypt it in a password manager. . I dont know what I wans't smoking that night but if I had been i probably wouldn't have had the spare time to do something like that.

[naive violet]

I don't even use a spinning disk on my 486...

[steady pewter]

Huh.

[molten solar]

Blame says it takes up 23.247 seconds to start wazuh . .wondering if thats about average

@naive violet I guess it depends on the data lifecycle, if you're overwriting a lot and its not huge blocks of data i think rust has some nuances that are superb in that regard, promote longevity of medium esp with those 100k w/e cycle limits

The fact that i have 150TB of highly redundant storage doesnt hurt either

@steady pewter You asked about the deraged project we . oh you say explored, not mucked with. That was one of my most deranged projects i created. Unless you count the virus that broke up VGA crt

[naive violet]

So my 486 came with a 545MB hdd

It's older than me, a 1993/4 drive

[steady pewter]

Sounds...destructive.

[naive violet]

I've cloned the windows 95 it came with and it boots to a CF card

[steady pewter]

Uh..my most deranged project is something still in the making--Linx, a..linux-inspired OS for the SNES.

Complete with userland

[molten solar]

That sounds tricky with cpu instructions

[naive violet]

I just don't trust a 30+ year old disk to survive tbh

[steady pewter]

It's not too hard actually, mostly the superfx instructions that really get me confused.

I made a compiler to essentially compile C into SNES machine code.

[molten solar]

@steady pewter The application was pretty destructive, it just overdrove your mechanical switch trying to operate at a range of freqs just a little bit faster than that poor mechanical switch could keep up.. sounds more glamorous than it was.

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/imostergolfra-gif-25274972

[naive violet]

Which switch?

[molten solar]

@steady pewter Are you going to use the expansion io in th econsole, or do you leverage cartridge slot for your block storage

@naive violet Do you remember the old EGA/VGA monitors? The ones that clicked when you switched video modes?

[naive violet]

I'm not old enough for CGA/EGA

[molten solar]

Hah. I predate CGA 😦

[steady pewter]

Leverage cartridge slot, turns out the StarFox cartridge has much I can leverage.

[molten solar]

My websites built on the amber monochrome concept ..

[naive violet]

My oldest computer is either the C64 or the spectrum+ thay predate either

[molten solar]

@naive violet Vic-20!

[naive violet]

I have a lovely amber VT-420

[steady pewter]

It's probably going to be a micro-kernel, kinda similar to an initramfs for boot, but at the same time, much..much more compact.

I'll probably have to make my own io library kernel for SNES..

I mean I have a TRS-80.

[naive violet]

Nice!

[rapid merlin]

Is it normal if my mouse cursor jump to a another place while running netstat ?

[molten solar]

So i did this double whammy windows guest update && host update this week. And my guest stopped talkign to network and my host stopped booting correctly. I just finished the debug and it involved a bios flash 😦

[naive violet]

Not really seeing as netstat is a terminal program

[molten solar]

@rapid merlin If you are using a touchpad its not unusual

[naive violet]

I've had vmware randomly decide networking was too cool and just ditch it

Driver nonsense

[molten solar]

Indeed.

[oblique loom]

One day left then im off for a month and can finally do THM labs again

[steady pewter]

oh, cool!

[rapid merlin]

I run netstat after this again and in another terminal and it does not happen again . I saw in the list many public IP Adresses with unofficial ports. Does someone have unauthorized access to my client?

[naive violet]

That's quite normal ngl

Run malwarebytes if you're concerned but eh

[molten solar]

@rapid merlin Do you build your own attack box? or are you using theirs

[rapid merlin]

I ran netstat on my local client .

[molten solar]

I think that they do a really good job of firewalling traffic between vpn clients .. Maybe not as good as the firewalling access between vpn hosts but i havent tried to actively break it (recently at least). If you are really paranoid, you can deny all inbound traffic on the tunnel except for like a few ports for udp and tcp . probably smart hygeine to do that anyhow even if they block the traffic

[clear jackal]

Ah, you too?

[rapid merlin]

Is Windows Defender not enough? I tested some malicious stuff and it detect these things.

[naive violet]

It's fine. Malwarebytes is a nice and free bonus

[molten solar]

NGL i was using the newest vmware workstation and it crapped itself on my windows box. BUT i precipitated it by forcing vlan tagging and qos tagging

[naive violet]

Depending on flags you'll see outbound connections from all sorts of apps. Auto updates, discord, all sorts

[clear jackal]

We had our vCenter decide it was too cool for it's network device mapping

[molten solar]

as soon as proxmox decides to fix the quoroum issues with clustering and ha I'm gonna start recommending it for client deploys. Its getting pretty solid

also known as frack broadcom

For big comps you can use like the other one .. citrix?

[clear jackal]

Nutanix, I think, it's the current middle ground

[naive violet]

I've seen citrix and nutanix more in vdi envs

Vmware and hyperv in non-vdi envs

[molten solar]

I pity anyone using horizons vdi

[clear jackal]

At least for time/speed sensitive loads

[molten solar]

@rapid merlin Do you use a kb, or a laptop If so, is the touchpad between you and the space bar?

[clear jackal]

I will give broadcom/VMware credit, VCF is frackin nice

[rapid merlin]

I forgot to test nestat -b . This could be next step. I search on ICANN for the IP Adresses and it gave me information about Microsoft .

[mortal ether]

Microsoft? Never heard of em, sounds pretty shady 👀

[rapid merlin]

No spacebar. I ran netstat and my mouse jumped to a another place.

[molten solar]

You are saying your computer doesnt have a spacebar? wow

Transcription?

[rapid merlin]

And information about azure.

[mortal ether]

All kidding aside, Google AI tells me mouse jumping around randomly could have many reasons. Like drivers or just the mouse battery being low for example

[rapid merlin]

Is it possible, that an attacker use a virtual machine on azure to attack my client over the virtual machine?

[rapid merlin]

Excuse me , I got confused. I understood mousepad. Yes , I have a spacebar .

[naive violet]

Being paranoid isn't good

[molten solar]

Just because your'e paranoid doesnt mean they aren't out to get you.

[rapid merlin]

Who is paranoid.

[molten solar]

Just think, theres no way for you to PROVE your h-w hasn't been compromised with a firmware exploit and all your programs are reporting on you every time you use them. You can reasonably assume it, but genuine proof is awhole nother ballgame. If you want a fun read, look up. .. Ken Thompson's somethign trusting trust? i want to say early to mid 80's

and on that calming note, im outties. Time to run an endless benchmark to prove ol bessy is stable again

[pallid lotus]

It's fairly easy to get around. Either use an attack box or just pivot from a target. Could even upload a lightweight VM loaded with attack tools into a private room.

TL;DR: no granular isolation. VPN clients can't speak directly to each other, but anything in 10.10.0.0/16 can talk to any VPN client.

[molten solar]

@pallid lotus Yeah. thats hwy i have simple ufw rules that when conecting to vpn ban tun0 traffic as well only inbound on very specific ports and nothing i bind a daemon to unless im busy

@pallid lotus Are you teh same dude who did the labyrnth box abotu 3-4 yrs ago?

[pallid lotus]

No, think that was Suit iirc

I seem to remember testing it, but I didn't build it

[mortal ether]

i just did 4 of your boxes in a row a few days ago. Shorter ones, but nice

Oh, nice... you created over 30 rooms 😮

The watch I had before got bricked because of an update

[stiff wraith]

All a watch should do is tell time, that's it

[mortal ether]

damn, what kind of watch was it?

one of my exams was this business class, for some reason they didn't mention bricking hardware through updates as a business strategy

seems to be one, though

[stiff wraith]

I took a business communications class last semester, interesting class

[ripe sleet]

Galaxy watch 4/5 classic I think

[tight trout]

yall wear watches?

[stiff wraith]

Nope

[ripe sleet]

It might be the watch 6 I think

[mortal ether]

nope

[ripe sleet]

Yup

I lose track of time incredibly easy

I might just get a digital watch next

[mortal ether]

i just set alerts on my phone and laptop, no need for a watch, really

[stiff wraith]

Get a Casio, those things are indestructable

[tight trout]

i've owned one for like a decade and yeah they are

[ripe sleet]

I was looking at one of those a few minutes ago

[stiff wraith]

This is the one I have

[ripe sleet]

Hmm

I'll look into it

hashcracking be like

lol

[lavish rune]

active domain basics room is really fun

speically when i have to use remmina rdp to remotely log in as one of the users, its simple but really interactive and nice

[mortal ether]

IIRC, that room is to explain the basics of how AD works. It gets a lot more fun when you learn to exploit AD in the other rooms

[lavish rune]

now i know why i cant run certain apps on my schools pcs lol

[mortal ether]

I still have to do a lot of those rooms as well, but i've done the AD module in pentesting path so far

[lavish rune]

Thats very exciting

Im surprised it says 30 mins, to be honest im slacking off alot which is why it took me considerably longer but 30 mins is sort of too little or this room lol

[mortal ether]

i personally went over that room pretty quickly because i had a few years of experience with AD already

the ones where you learn to hack an AD environment are more tricky to learn

but fun

[lavish rune]

I never knew that existed to be honest xd, i thougt there was a custom app the IT adminstrator had to build to remotely access all pcs and control them

[mortal ether]

if you see DKob stream on voice chat here doing an AD box, definitely worth hopping in to take a look

[lavish rune]

will do

[bitter mantle]

oh look it's the al queda watch!

[lavish rune]

Hey do you think u can @ me if u ever notce him doing one? Ill make sure to check the vcs myself but just incase

[bitter mantle]

If anyone is into casio digital watches you should look into the mod kits they sell for them, you can make the screens all kinds of cool color combinations. I've got one that looks like the Brazil flag

[mortal ether]

Sure, maybe send me a DM so i don't forget your username by the time it happens

unfortunately i missed the previous one as well, so i told DKob he could ping me next time

[lavish rune]

Done

[lavish rune]

oh lol 😭

[mortal ether]

First box he went beyond just getting the flag, also showed some neat post exploitation stuff

[lavish rune]

thats great

[ripe sleet]

Can you add a custom image to the background?

[bitter mantle]

There's probably a way to do it but that'd be a pretty advanced mod. Most of the mods just involve changing the color filters on the screen

[lavish rune]

this guy seriously doesnt want to let me get 1st place

[tight trout]

philosophy is simultaneously really interesting and such a brainfuck

[bitter mantle]

I haven't done a CTF in so long 😢

[tight trout]

keep going, you got it!

[tight trout]

i really need to finish my writeups before i do my next one

[lavish rune]

Will try my best, i have around 3 hours before i start feeling sleepy

ill try get to 2.3k

[tight trout]

make sure you're learning the content too tho!

[bitter mantle]

oh! I am getting my license to be a locksmith in 2 weeks! And then in August I'll be getting a similar cert to construct access control systems

[tight trout]

congrats! thats so cool

[lavish rune]

yeah to be honest a vague part of me wanted to fully skip and ask gpt for the answers jsut for the points but I decided to just learn the material, whats the point of being on the paltform if im not making good use of what im learning

[mortal ether]

I've got a guy in diamond league with more than double the points of the guy in 2nd place atm

[bitter mantle]

Thanks 🙂 I want to do holistic security

[bitter mantle]

My friend and I accidentally started our own MSP and I want to pivot it into an MSSP

[lavish rune]

Im the guy in second place

[lavish rune]

woah

how does one achieve that in a singular week

[tight trout]

control + c, control + v

[mortal ether]

Nice, congrats!

[lavish rune]

ah

[tight trout]

whwat was the bet from your status lol

[mortal ether]

558 events in 1 day, so yeah, most likely just copy pasta

[lavish rune]

I HEAR A CAT RIGHT OUTSIDE MY APARTMENT I WANNA GO OUT AND HUG IT

its meowing so cutely

😭

[tight trout]

mrrp mrrp mrowr

[lavish rune]

it was a bet against some top tier player in this game I play, he would give me 10$ if i won and i would only have to change my pfp if he did, does the skill gap was there

[ripe sleet]

Ever had a dirty soda?

[lavish rune]

he just kept fofering those challenges to people

couple of guys won but 10s of us lost

[tight trout]

its a cutesy pfp

how long are you gonna leave it on for lol

[ripe sleet]

Was it for an esports match or something?

[lavish rune]

nah just on a discord stage for an event

i joined for fun as i havent partook in any events

and was burnt out

[loud marlin]

o ffs... finally share drive to proxmox =/

[tight trout]

slowly watching my autoplay music go from:

indiepop -> hard rock -> metal -> anime themes -> roblox songs????

apple music and i are at wits end lmao

[ripe sleet]

[lavish rune]

😭

[bitter mantle]

Recently my YouTube music app has been cycling in OSU! Brony music

and this really sad Portuguese folk music called Fado

[mortal cape]

if any of you would learn coding again how would you start

[tight trout]

same way i did tbh, The Odin Project, not exactly programming as its more for web dev, but they gave me a good understanding of JS and ruby

[mortal cape]

is learning python still relevant

[tight trout]

sure

[bitter mantle]

python is still super relevant

[tight trout]

i realized i hit the "discover new music" station rather then the currated station for my library lmao

[lavish rune]

somewhat, its pretty useful for tools if u want to learn how they work or make ur own

[tight trout]

they all do simlar things, python is nice bc theres a lot of library support, but they'll all get the job done, learn the fundamentals of programming logic and design ans then all thats left is just the syntax for whatever language you want to do

[mortal cape]

so do you guys know how to "hack"

[molten solar]

I can hack, wheeze, and huff

[tight trout]

i think i've hacked a tree down before

[bitter mantle]

Depends on what you want to learn to make. Something like web dev will be easier to get a functional, cool looking project up and running way faster, but I feel like it'd be super beneficial to start with something like Harvard's CS50 course and start with C. C is a lot of fun if you like learning how programs work on the lowest level possibly conceivable as a beginner

[lavish rune]

well my dad taught me to hack my fan before, i found out it doesnt run without a motor in the process.

[tight trout]

definitly, i learned ruby to eventually learn rails...but never did lmao and i use ruby for whatever CLI BS i want to do next

C is cool too tho

[molten solar]

@lavish rune Well theres your problem, you dont need a motor, you just need mechanical force

[mortal cape]

i mean like digitally

[tight trout]

i try not to get bogged down into "one lang is better than another tho"

[lavish rune]

aha, maybe the wind too

[tight trout]

HTML + CSS is turing complete sooooooo......

[mortal ether]

heh yeah, it's definitely not my favorite thing

[lavish rune]

yeah i installed a virus on my laptop once

[tight trout]

i mean i can hack down a tree in a video game too ig

[molten solar]

I just spent about 18 hrs troubleshooting my pc 😦 Two updates and one networking config totally pooched it

[tight trout]

...wut happened lmao

[bitter mantle]

linux?

[lavish rune]

I had an issue a year ago, i asked deepseak to make me a .bat troubleshooting tool and auto fix the sisue, it worked like magic

bro chat gpt just doxxed my city??

[bitter mantle]

Feels like something a reckless "yay -Syu" would cause

[tight trout]

installs a backdoor for the Chinese gov

[lavish rune]

oh shit, figures why it was 3gbs

whats wrongwith a backdoor for the chinese gov?

we dont mind USA ones.

thats racism

cancelled.

[tight trout]

maybe you dont lol

[lavish rune]

oh does that mean im the acist

crap.

[tight trout]

i did a ctf challenge once that was data exfiltration over ICMP Echo Requests lol

[molten solar]

Uhh the results only?
did a series of troubleshoots in windows guest and had to do the ntbtconfig thing to set safeboot (which it inored anyways) and tried system restore (which didn't work anyways) so i detached my vfio devices attached a vga and qxl console got it to post for a whopping 40 seconds before it heap corrupted. Debugged the underlying issue and fixed the cpu config by updating my uefi bios and then when that was working, i still had a problem with zabbix_agent not starting due to some sort of race conflict with /run/zabbix pid file ...

[lavish rune]

😭

[tight trout]

yeah thats fucked

[molten solar]

Then i restored my libvirt config

[bitter mantle]

That was a very funny day on Twitter when that got posted

[molten solar]

Is it sending a live stream of your knickers or something?

Knickers in the drum go round and round ... roudn and round .. round and round ..

[lavish rune]

whats the grep equivilant for windows

[molten solar]

findstr?

[knotty valve]

Do you understand high level calculus?

If not then it's going to give you absolute hell

[tight trout]

Grep is a command-line utility for searching text in files, but it's not natively available on Windows. You can use alternatives like FindStr, dnGrep, or install grep through Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) or Git Bash.

[ripe sleet]

I'll learn it. My sister was a dual math major.

[lavish rune]

thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @molten solar (current: #717 - 8)

[lavish rune]

thanks

[knotty valve]

Yeah it ain't that easy lol

[ripe sleet]

Are there resources for it that you would recommend?

[knotty valve]

Given it took me 5 years to learn it 🙃

[bitter mantle]

Have you messed around with something like Hugging Face first to get a feel for a bunch of different models?

[lavish rune]

hello ash

[knotty valve]

Read research papers on arXiv

[molten solar]

@lavish rune IIRC you can also do somethign like ... "search type:file contains: (string) "

[knotty valve]

They mean from scratch

[ripe sleet]

Awesome

[knotty valve]

No premade

[lavish rune]

i mean i mostly want it for output of a command

[knotty valve]

The amount of times I've had to write my own ML libs

[bitter mantle]

I know but it can't hurt to get a feel for something outside the big 4 first before deciding to commit to learning graduate-level calculus

[knotty valve]

It can go beyond grad calc

[lavish rune]

so lets say
ipconfig /all | findstr=" " that would work?

[molten solar]

@lavish rune Modern windows os? YOu can use PS and pipe the command into | findstr

[ripe sleet]

I have three ideas for things that I want to see if they're possible

[knotty valve]

It does go beyond very quickly

ML is essentially just mathematical and computer science research stitched together by hopes and dreams

[lavish rune]

yeah i know but whats the syntax? findstr "'string" or what

[knotty valve]

Not kidding either

[ripe sleet]

I'm willing to learn it

[knotty valve]

Ever tried to make a model for a field that has virtually no research? It's going to grief you for years

[lavish rune]

i just realized nslookup was a default windows tool lol

[ripe sleet]

I'll probably be learning calculus from scratch

[molten solar]

I might have a copy of our neural darwin model around somewhere .. that runs in libc and matlab ... circa 2001 so its not really like its corpo secrets

[knotty valve]

Be prepared to spend the next 5-10 years doing research before you actually make a usable product lol

[ripe sleet]

[ripe sleet]

Interesting

[knotty valve]

It's easier to just build off pre-discovered research

[ripe sleet]

Hm

[knotty valve]

Which is how Google got the infinite context window

Or well "infinite"

It's constrained by the amount of ram in a system

But theoretically it's infinite

According to the math anyway

[ripe sleet]

Sounds like an interesting side project

[tight trout]

-# i think you're out of side project territory

[molten solar]

It all depends how many inputs and outputs you need .. LLM? not really doable but something to do a purpose? maybe doble if you have decent video

[ripe sleet]

This was something that I wanted to do research on if the umassd sfs program didn't get budget cut to hell

[knotty valve]

Infinite context?

Nah google did it with Gemini

Context windows are crucial to usability of LLMs and any form of encoder

[molten solar]

You can't use Alphabet as a premisefor "its doable" as a diy project i think

[knotty valve]

They act as the short term memory

[knotty valve]

It is doable

There's research papers on how to do it

Google literally published it two years ago

Most LLMs nowadays have a huge context window spanning beyond 16k tokens at the minimum

[ripe sleet]

So Ashlynn, what defines high level calculus?

[knotty valve]

New llama models iirc, can support up to 500k tokens at max before it scrambles itself, but it requires modification to the processor

[knotty valve]

Shit that makes you cry looking at it

So anything Grad level and more complex

[ripe sleet]

What is an example?

[molten solar]

The kind of math with symbols that look like your 2 yr old scribbled on the page, and no numbers anywhere

[tight trout]

...trig makes me do that

[molten solar]

https://www.izhikevich.org/publications/dsn.pdf

[bitter mantle]

Could I maybe interest you in Data Science instead?

[knotty valve]

I love this example

It's a lot simpler than it looks

[tight trout]

[knotty valve]

It's just functionally cursed to read

The math I'm kinda gaslighting into working for my own project is also horrid to read

But very simple

[ripe sleet]

Hm

[tight trout]

how do you gaslight math?

[knotty valve]

It works when it shouldn't

That's all I'm saying

[tight trout]

fair point

[ripe sleet]

Are proofs necessary?

[bitter mantle]

for the record I was making a joke about how mathematically illiterate most of the data science people I walk into day-to-day tend to be. All the math they're doing is just like early Stat-101

[knotty valve]

Yes

[ripe sleet]

Fuck

[knotty valve]

You have to prove that it works

Otherwise it's going to be discarded and unused lol

[ripe sleet]

[knotty valve]

Same with anything in math

If you propose a new method it has to work

And it has to be consistent

Give or take probability

[ripe sleet]

Is it possible to learn calculus from scratch

[knotty valve]

Probabilistic models don't need to be a straight line but it needs to be determinable

There's no "learning from scratch" with math

It's just math

You start from the basics and learn your way through to more advanced math

[knotty valve]

Trig is easy tho

a² + b² = c² shit

[tight trout]

okay but youre like super fucking smart

[lavish rune]

thats just geo

[knotty valve]

No I mean trig is one of the easier math topics lol

It's just geometric math but glorified

[tight trout]

have you considered that im stupid? lmao

[knotty valve]

Welcome to trig

[ripe sleet]

Hmmm, I had a hard time with geometry in HS

[knotty valve]

Everything is a shape in trig

Proving 1+1=2 is fun

[molten solar]

I had to use math at work for the stupidest thing .. determining projector throw and offset to fill the screen correctly with fixed lenses for far throw .. Otherwise i dont think ive used "math" for much besides spreadsheet calculations

[lavish rune]

isnt it pythgorean tho

[knotty valve]

Yeah but that's also a triangle

Lmao

Trig is just shapes

[lavish rune]

true

[knotty valve]

Distance between two points from the angle of cos and sin of the 2&3 point

One point's angle is almost always 90°

There's also tan as well

But that's all just angles

Rotational velocity is more fun

[lavish rune]

thats jsut vector math tho

[knotty valve]

Yep

[lavish rune]

vector math is pretty boring once u get how it works

tbh

[knotty valve]

More fun than trig tho

[lavish rune]

trig is heavily used in vector math so it doesnt make much of a difference

but if were tlaking about trig individually then yeah its hella boring

[knotty valve]

There's a fair amount of trig at my work

Cause satellite positioning

[lavish rune]

damnn

i would be stressing if i were at a math related job

to think that if i mess a number up it could mess alot of stuff up freaks me out lol

[knotty valve]

A lot of the time the arrays configure themselves

[lavish rune]

fair enough

id trust that over me doing trig at 8 am

[knotty valve]

Try doing it at 2am

[molten solar]

THe expected response is 1 character in length.

Suppose the employee ID is an integer with incrementing value. Can you check through the vulnerable API endpoint the total number of employees in the company?

Would you think this is a Y/N answer?

[lavish rune]

Perhaps he wants u to get the number of eployees

if its double degit

then it could be y n

[knotty valve]

Also we can't help with that

[lavish rune]

😭 i would never be able to

[molten solar]

@knotty valve It's a room from THM 885 days old, why is it not appropriate to bring up?

[lavish rune]

tryhackme would usualy ask yay or nay in the question tho

[lavish rune]

the nature of the question was malicious, after all it wants ut oc heck throuhg a vulnrable api endpoitt in a company but u didnt really specify what this was for

[knotty valve]

If it's THM #room-help

[lavish rune]

could be assumed malicious

[molten solar]

It was https://tryhackme.com/room/owaspapisecuritytop105w .. and that question seems pretty skewed

[gritty birch]

uhms, hello everyone ^7^!!

[patent karma]

hi

[tight trout]

hiya!

[lavish rune]

Hello

[lavish rune]

whichtask

[static acorn]

my brain

[gritty birch]

i'm, i guess u can say i'm interested in hacking as like a hobby and because i wanna learn how to do something new ^u^!!

[lavish rune]

Then you should check out #start-here

[static acorn]

thats how i got into it. just as a hobby

[lavish rune]

thats just an itnroduction tho? 😭

xd

[gritty birch]

alrr will doo, i was also looking to make hacker friends so i can learn stuff from them to as i go ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )

[molten solar]

Task 1: q1 .. I did hte others on that but the thought of an INT for that response didn't even occur, even after manually doing what they asked.

[tight trout]

honey sticks are amazing

[gritty birch]

thats awesomess!!

[lavish rune]

Alot of people hang around in chat, you can come in whenever and talk to them, most people here are friendly

[static acorn]

this

[gritty birch]

that makes me even mores hopefulls to make more friends and to learn!!

[lavish rune]

Sounds great

[gritty birch]

how is hacking for you thoo

woud u say its funss?

[ripe sleet]

Hello!

[gritty birch]

haiii!!

[static acorn]

sometimes

[tight trout]

its def an adventure lol

[lavish rune]

Pretty fun so far, ive been learning valuable information and it certainly feels like after everything u do ur making progress

[ripe sleet]

It's fun, new knowledge is good knowledge

[patent karma]

fun most of the time but some tasks are a bit tedious to say the least

but thats like 1% of the time

[gritty birch]

is it as fun as the movies and games with characters who are hackers :D' (hope thats not bad thing to say :<)

[last harbor]

Not always

[tight trout]

lmao nothing like that

[gritty birch]

sounds interestingg!!

[last harbor]

Sometimes it’s like “I wanna give a shower to my pc”

[gritty birch]

frrss!!

[lavish rune]

I recommend u check out the site and #start-here before doing anything tho, this will get u set and will help u understand how cyber security is about

[patent karma]

some things are a bit far from reality but its fun nonetheless

[gritty birch]

phewss!!

[gritty birch]

oof :d

[ripe sleet]

[molten solar]

@ripe sleet Esp because the answer was staring you in the face the whole time.

[lavish rune]

after im done, they make me feel like I solved world hunger.

[ripe sleet]

Yup

[ripe sleet]

The ego boost makes you think you can fight gods

[static acorn]

REAL

[patent karma]

another night spent awake and on thm and i already see light outside my window

[patent karma]

is this what you call "productivity"?

[lavish rune]

Alright, have fun!
Also important tip, try to not run through everything, in cyber security u always want to take learning slowly specially if ur just getting started out.
most importantly, try to take notes about stuff you think you might forget it helps you refresh ur memory whenever you feel like ur about to forget something!

[lavish rune]

Indeed

almost 5 am here lol

[patent karma]

i just hit sub 30k on the global ranking though so im kinda happy

[gritty birch]

okk tyy you've been a big helps!!

[ripe sleet]

hi

[lavish rune]

cmon cmon cmon

almost

[mortal ether]

it can be hard at first if you don't know how to start a challenge and have no idea what methods you can use, but after that it's definitely fun

can turn into a game then

[gritty birch]

i'm all for games, i did wanna start for new hobby afterall and i'm already happy that everyone seems so kind

[patent karma]

im finally also gonna have 2 months off school for the holidays so also gonna have some time for thm

balancing school and thm was pretty hard

and not only thm but learning programming, linux etc.

[lavish rune]

Glad we made the impression, there could be alot of bad apples but this a communtiy where we all learn, can never judge a person that wants to learn something new

that is if its good, ofcourse

[patent karma]

cybersec definitely pays off in the real world too

you can also find a cybersec job or something

[gritty birch]

soundss goods and beneficial tbhh i def wouldn't mind having it as a side hustle

[lavish rune]

its such a great feelign to encounter digital related stuff irl and know how they work like a certain system in a library or finding a certain vulnerability inside ur workplace, gives u that real powerful feeling lol

[gritty birch]

mhmss!!

[last harbor]

So newbie, wat do u wanna do in cybersecurity

[patent karma]

pentesting your schools/companies system

pretty illegal but youll learn something from it

[tight trout]

-# still piss colored i see

[lavish rune]

Only if I'm permitted to ofcourse

[last harbor]

@safe oxide this was a good one

[patent karma]

of course

[gritty birch]

well i'm not really sures yets i just got interested in it so i don't really know everything about it yet but i'm eager to try learnings mores!!

[safe oxide]

Heheeee

[lavish rune]

piss color suits u

tbh

i mean ur pfp

[patent karma]

he has to level up sadly

[last harbor]

Do u wanna attack and test the security or do u wanna defend and make better defense system?

[lavish rune]

or do u wanna be able to do both?

[tight trout]

or neither?

[last harbor]

lol

[lavish rune]

fr

[gritty birch]

hmm if im gonna learn this id say might as well learn both!!

the more i learn the better

[last harbor]

So u r gonna be purple. Good choice

[patent karma]

just use a hammer and break everything

[last harbor]

U can dm me anytime for anything 😁

[patent karma]

[steel aspen]

Is a lot of what red team do zero day exploits legally without disrupting stuff?

Just saw this on fb

[tight trout]

almost every time a red team will disclose a zero-day, not doing it is a breach of ethics

[steel aspen]

Yeah but they wouldn't actually perform it though do they?

[tight trout]

i mean with security research you'll have to probably make a PoC, but after it's been disclosed its no longer a zero-day

[steel aspen]

Ah yeah that makes sense. Guess it's not really a CVE either cos patches/remedies however you wanna say it will come in the PoC right?

[tight trout]

it could be a CVE, depends ig

[steel aspen]

Guess older versions that hasn't been patched

But that's up to them for updates

[tight trout]

yeah, if youre vulnerable to something and havent updated red team will eat you alive on that if they find it

[mortal ether]

i don't do this for a living, so not sure, but afaik a PoC doesn't (need to) include remediation

they will put that in the report as well, but it's seperate from the PoC that shows the vulnerability is real and can be exploited

[tight trout]

yep

Do you use actual flight sticks?

[round onyx]

i wish lol

[tight trout]

how's flying with that?

[round onyx]

which is better than a keyboard

[sullen schooner]

Obviously

Controller>>>

[sullen schooner]

With flying sticks?

[round onyx]

i have it setup like the ace combat control scheme but i haven't rebind any other MSFS binds :v

[sullen schooner]

Ohh you wanna fly the "REAL" F-15EX virtually, get DCS

That game has crazy skill ceiling

[tight trout]

Unpaid internship

[sullen schooner]

6 months

How can anyone be JUNIOR with OSCP + OSEP

Those two certs alone will cost more than what they'll pay in 3 yrs

[winged nimbus]

controller is a perfectly fine starting point

[safe oxide]

Lol

Oscp is an entry level cert tho

[lunar flame]

try hack me

[ashen condor]

how do you guys tackle thm walkthroughs? do you go through everything meticulously and take notes or do you just skim through the info? I'm struggling to find motivation to continue with this soc pathway ngl

[tight trout]

take notes, but also take breaks when i get overwhelmed

[ashen condor]

how many rooms do you aim to finish in a day?

im terrible at accountability and discipline lmao

[tight trout]

right now i'm bogged down with school and work, so basically 0

but when i'm active it's less about that and more about making sure i understand what im learning

[ashen condor]

mhm

got it

[tight trout]

cause i can do like 20 rooms in a day but i didn't learn anything

[ashen condor]

true , I meant how many do you complete whilst also retaining whatever youve read

[tight trout]

idk lol, don't keep track of that

[ashen condor]

ig i just gotta get the ball rolling , i keep procrastinating lmao

dont get me wrong i love ctfs , its just these stupid walkthroughs

[spice panther]

@cloud quiver hi, can i DM you?

[onyx hare]

harry potter?

[onyx hare]

contoller plus keyboard combo🤌✨

[round onyx]

thats what i am doing currently :v

[onyx hare]

oooooo i kinda feel like it's kinda simulate a mini filgh deck, like controller for stick and key board for all the buttons like that'll be cool ngl

but then again i can't really say anything with a GTX 1650 laptop that can't even run MSFS

[round onyx]

hmmm i might actually do that

thanks for the idea

[onyx hare]
