Hey guys

[stable peak]

hello does anyone know how to hack discord servers

[compact meteor]

could someone help me with something

[compact meteor]

/hack-discord (discord-name) in minecraft

[craggy mango]

[cloud walrus]

of i can i would

[compact meteor]

Is there a students plan on THM?

[stable peak]

no this discord server and its admins were abusing me

[compact meteor]

I used to have premium a while back but went stale for a bit

[sturdy lark]

get tired from reading code

[compact meteor]

this probably should be in #site-support

[stable peak]

please someone help me

[compact meteor]

oh noooooo

just leave it

[stable peak]

they banned me after

[river dune]

any one interest for vocal salon ?

[knotty valve]

We don't help with that

[stable peak]

dang it

[cloud walrus]

whene i started i navigate to the creer path section there is complete paths depending of what you want

[knotty valve]

Appeal your ban to the place that banned you

[stable peak]

they wont let me

[knotty valve]

Well just leave it in the past

[stable peak]

they were abusing me calling me stuff and doing all this and that

well they hacked me

kidna

[compact meteor]

cry about it or something we cant help you

[knotty valve]

Then contact local authorities

[stable peak]

damn this one too

[tight trout]

we can not help you

[knotty valve]

We can't help with whatever they've done or doing

[stable peak]

ok...

[knotty valve]

None of us are hackers for hire

Send it here

[tight trout]

read #rules you need to ask first

[knotty valve]

Don't try and DM me without asking

[river dune]

yes i'm asking

[knotty valve]

I declined and asked you to send it here

If you can't send it here you can't DM me about it

[river dune]

yes i read yr message . i got the response nvm

[knotty valve]

Failed scam attempt fr

[tight trout]

ikr?

hey ash do you mind if i scam you 🥺

[knotty valve]

I read this as scan

[river dune]

ofc there's no scam 🙃

[knotty valve]

Lmao

[tight trout]

works for me lol

[knotty valve]

That's what a scammer would say

Why don't you send what you're asking for in chat

If it's not a scam or otherwise breaks the rules it's safe to send here :)

[river dune]

okay keep it like that

[craggy mango]

just say it here if its not big deal if you want i would close my eyes so i wont see what ur saying

[river dune]

i read some message here , and i think about a question . then i get the response from google . this why i told u that i got the response

[keen light]

what areas of cyber are you people studying at the moment

[river dune]

forensics

[craggy mango]

SOC and threat hunting

[knotty valve]

Then ask here

[river dune]

okay next time i'll ask here

[knotty valve]

I'm not your Google lol

[river dune]

[craggy mango]

how about you ?

[keen light]

crypto

[knotty valve]

Pentesting, forensics, threat hunting, and some basic cryptography

I'll probably go back to exploit dev eventually

[craggy mango]

@knotty valve do you just do threating hunting here in tryhackme or do you have any other place you to go to do your research ?

[knotty valve]

Work

[craggy mango]

oh holy crap

[knotty valve]

Prior studies at work was security engineering, sigint, and electronic warfare

[craggy mango]

i dont know the other last two

[tight trout]

signals intelligence is sigint

[lone thistle]

👋 THM

[tight trout]

unless she means significant integers

which is a weird way of says sig figs

[river dune]

pentesting ?

[tight trout]

which is weird to study

[tight trout]

yallo!

[knotty valve]

It's not hard

But it's definitely not easy

[craggy mango]

hello

[lone thistle]

howdy howdy

hope we're all well

[tight trout]

how do you study sig figs :3

[tight trout]

as well as we can be after earlier lol

[craggy mango]

yeah i am curious aswell

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/madagscar-penguins-kaboom-gif-9833865

[tight trout]

i mean i know how to calculate the sig figs of a number, but what's there to study

[river dune]

where did u use sig figs ?

[tight trout]

[uneven nexus]

how many times will my target machine crash

hmm hmm

(no rdp creds given in room either)

[light shuttle]

hello have a quesiton if web is behind cloudflare proxy and u get the real ip of the server then how u will setup ur burpsuite ?

because i wanna know it
it will be help me in real world pentesting

but i am just attacking on LAN etc
i've never experienced real world and want it 🙂

tempted to buy this just for the soundtrack files

[chilly veldt]

lost my ring I just bought this weekend 😭

[tight trout]

nooooo

[chilly veldt]

yeahhh, bought 8 rings, now I just have 7

[tight trout]

hopefully it wasnt too expensive

[chilly veldt]

one of my steel rings

[chilly veldt]

it was in a set 😦

I had a full steel set

custom picked

[tight trout]

that sucks :/ sorry that happened

[keen light]

open ai tts onyx is pretty good

[ripe sleet]

Hello!

[chilly veldt]

Yeah, it was the pointer finger ring 😦

[tight trout]

that looks like such a cool set

[chilly veldt]

it is, I custom picked it at a marked

both sets are left to right -> pinky to pointer

[ripe sleet]

I'm sorry that occurred

[chilly veldt]

I'll go and see if it's laying where I think I dropped it

tomorrow

even though it's 3-4 days ago

[keen depot]

hello thm students

[craggy mango]

they look amazing

i wanted to get the rings from howls moving castle

[tight trout]

i have the red one on a necklace!

i love wearing it

my bf has the blue one so its kinda a set

[craggy mango]

that is cool

[chilly veldt]

I do have these, the big one on the right is for my pointer, so it can be used in my set if I want

[earnest flower]

im looking for implement sRDI to DLL , who have experience with this reflective dll injection?

[craggy mango]

thats nice

[craggy mango]

i love the left one

[chilly veldt]

got it from a thrift store

[craggy mango]

thrift store here dont sell so i gotta look online for some unique ones

[chilly veldt]

damm

[craggy mango]

i was about to order the Matching Howl and Sophie Ring Set but you know shit happens

[keen depot]

How long do you think it will be till humanoid robots are available with AI to help with everyday tasks?

[knotty valve]

Sigint* and I can't tell you

[ripe sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/vtuber-foxplushy-vtuber-fox-anime-fox-vtuber-foxy-gif-25303109

[river dune]

whats the meaning of the icon in the first ring ?

[tight trout]

lol thats my fault

[river dune]

no information ? 😏

[knotty valve]

I wouldn't tell you even if you had the clearance

[chilly veldt]

it has multiple icons

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-league-of-legend-yasuo-its-done-gif-13734781

[river dune]

the star

[river dune]

weird

[river dune]

i think they mean more thing no ?

the eye star !

[river dune]

did u hear about عين حورس(arabic) ? search for it you'll find the same icon

[chilly veldt]

tbh, to me it's just a cool looking ring, it's the same with the ring finger (the black opel) having crosses

[river dune]

the icon mean Eye of Horus . an egyptian culture . u must know whatt u put in yr hands

[agile token]

might be the wrong place for the question but how are discord ranks upgraded?

i'm lvl 8 on the website - just got up from being 7 for a while and noticed it hadn't updated here

[chilly veldt]

actually, due to the form of the eye, it more likely repreesents the eye of ra not eye of horus

[river dune]

maybe

[chilly veldt]

though it is just a dropshipping ring

[river dune]

i see . i think the eye and the star . and any icons they have meaning . not just for fun !

[knotty valve]

Not weird at all

[rapid merlin]

[river dune]

i think i can do something with significant figures in IT field . this why i asked u

[sand trench]

meep moops time for the sleep sloops to the amazing beep boops

[tight trout]

night shadow!

[open lake]

the web grows hungry for growth...

[bleak quartz]

Daymn nice

what theme is that?

[open lake]

the graph one is custom using a plugin called..extended graph i think?

yeah extended graph

[solemn dawn]

uh guys

help

@ripe sleet

[tight trout]

whats the room?

[solemn dawn]

search skills

[thorny prism]

snake oil

[tight trout]

or we could just give the answer that's cool too /s

[thorny prism]

how do u want me to guide with that question

[pallid lotus]

That's the technical term is it...?
What a ridiculous question lmfao

[solemn dawn]

how the hell do i know that

[thorny prism]

you do now

[pallid lotus]

What room is this?

[solemn dawn]

Search skills

[pallid lotus]

Oh, that was the name of it

[solemn dawn]

But how do i find the answer there is nothing that makes me use "snake oil"

[pallid lotus]

Yeah, that is a really bad question

[solemn dawn]

Dang

[pallid lotus]

Making the answer to a research question an idiom in a specific language.

[thorny prism]

yh it's not the best

[pallid lotus]

Is English your first language?

[solemn dawn]

Nah

[pallid lotus]

Then there's no way you could be expected to know the answer to that 🤷‍♂️

[solemn dawn]

So what i do with the answer and i don't even know how to figure it out

[solemn dawn]

Bruh tryhackme should support more languages

[ripe sleet]

Search online?

[solemn dawn]

This is online

[pallid lotus]

Chalk it down to horrific writing from the room devs and move on.

That question was worded as if it was looking for a technical answer. The answer was actually a specific idiom in English. Snake oil is a metaphor for something fraudulent, but how the hell are you meant to know that without being familiar with English idioms?

[thorny prism]

Part of the point of thm q's are to do your own research though too

[uneven nexus]

asking for idioms seems like a bit of a stretch unless the term was explicitdly mentioned in the walkthrough

which even then imo doesnt seem very beneficial since it isnt a technical term

[pallid lotus]

That's the most important skill for a hacker.
That isn't the point here though. That isn't a research question. That's a "stick it into Google and through sheer dumb luck you might stumble on the answer".

You're not going to find that term in any technical documentation, aside perhaps in passing.

[pallid lotus]

It isn't. I checked.

[thorny prism]

take it up with thm

i simply gave the answer

[pallid lotus]

I'll pass. Last crappy room I took up with them was years ago and it still isn't fixed. Something something "passwords should be encrypted".

[lone thistle]

what room is this?

[clear jackal]

But hashing is encryption....

[solemn dawn]

Search skills

[safe aspen]

Cheapest way to buy eJPT voucher boys?

[pallid lotus]

Iirc the wording was "passwords should be hashed or encrypted"

So you can throw passive voice into the complaints basket as well

[rancid shoal]

Just wondering, im a novice at cybersecurity, i spend 4 hours on tryhackme, 4 hours on hackthebox, 1:30 minutes on tcm security, 5 days a week , after 4 years at this pace Will i be considered a senior

[rapid merlin]

[rancid shoal]

Or i must get a job which not my plan

[safe aspen]

get certificates 🙂

[dark wolf]

I've got your back. I have access to root certificate stores, just let me know what you need.

[pallid lotus]

A senior what?

[lone thistle]

You will not be considered a senior without job experience. Sorry to say but that is the truth of it

blue/red/etc

[spice ermine]

bro

somebody said my old password in roblox chat

some dude came up to me and just said it directly to me

how is that possible?

[ripe sleet]

Data-breach maybe?

[rancid shoal]

Thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @lone thistle (current: #9 - 933)

[spice ermine]

I checked on haveibeenpwned and it says its in 48 data breaches

But how did that person know I was in that exact game and that exact time? And also know what website to access?

Does it show the username?

[ripe sleet]

Change passwords

[tight trout]

change all of those account's passwords if oyu havn't done so already

[ripe sleet]

Enable MFA (Multi Factor Authentication) as well

[spice ermine]

will do, but its kinda scary how that person knew exactly what game I was

little creeped out

[ripe sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-gif-25269231

That's life

As long as they haven't breached your accounts then you're golden

[spice ermine]

Could it be that the person was already in my game and going through usernames inside that server inside the data breach website and found mine and went up to me to troll?

[ripe sleet]

You can use BitWarden for a password manager or a local one

[tight trout]

probably

[half badge]

Discord logged me out and said "you either have suspicious activity or your account has been compromised. Change password"

Is this a bug or should I leave the account behind?

[tight trout]

change your password

[half badge]

I did

[tight trout]

then youre probably fine

[half badge]

Hm

[tight trout]

unless your email has been compromised

or somethn like that

[half badge]

Well yeah hopefully not

[west ibex]

Hii , pls im noob in hacking but i want evolve , Do you have any advice and where should I start?

[inland sun]

tryhackme.com 😎

[inland sun]

Find what interests you and #godspeed

[upper knoll]

#start-here is probably your best bet

[west ibex]

I sorry i dont see this

[west ibex]

What is godspeed ?

[upper knoll]

dont be sorry

[inland sun]

I'm wishing you good luck and success

[craggy mango]

sorry my mic wont work i will try to get it fixed

[west ibex]

For hacking is important know informatique language but i have base in python

[west ibex]

Is hard

?

To be good in hacking How much time do you think it will take if we train regularly pls ?

[inland sun]

If it was "easy" then it wouldn't be worth the journey in a sense. I'd suggest you find the one thing right now that interests you the most about "hacking" and work on that. If you feel you need to learn fundamentals @upper knoll gave you the channel to look at and I recommend going to tryhackme.com and completing the beginner courses (then reset your progress and do it again)!

[inland sun]

We all want you to succeed so knowing that should be fire on your azz to get to learning!! Freecodecamp.org is a resource you can use to understand HTML, CSS, js, python, and c#!

[spice ermine]

bro I went on breach detective typed my roblox username on there, and I found my old password to be on there

It revealed the first three letters of my old password i think u have to pay to see rest

thats probably what happened, some troll went in and put peoples usernames in that website to try to find someones password to mess with them

[clear jackal]

Lol, I was being an ass with my response

[west ibex]

Okay thank you so much

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @inland sun (current: #3013 - 1)

I learn only python actualy

[clear jackal]

No, entry, associate, mid, senior, etc are based around workplace roles and time in a professional setting.

[pallid lotus]

Oh I know

[outer rivet]

👀

[dark wolf]

Does anyone else besides me do this ... "Oh, there's the flag, sweet. What? Ok, .. ohhh, there it is... WTF.. hmmm... oh this has to be it.. OMGWTF"

[knotty valve]

Basically everyone in a CTF I'd say

[dark wolf]

Ok... makes sense ... or if you are a young .. that tracks

lol

[knotty valve]

Mainly just CTF shenanigans

It's even funnier when there's fake flags

[tight trout]

i dont like fake flags in CTFs where accuracy counts

[knotty valve]

It trains people to not take it for granted and to confirm its correct

[tight trout]

yeah, but i've had CTFs where you dont know if its correct until you submit it

[knotty valve]

If it was that simple, clearly it's not right or you did something wrong

[tight trout]

nah, douches put 3 flags in a file, only one of them was correct, and the other two were both valid under the flag format defined

[knotty valve]

Is the flag in strings? Chances are that's not the right flag

[knotty valve]

Yeah usually it's a subtle hint

[tight trout]

it was a shitty ctf regardless

[knotty valve]

Shit is what we call FooBar

[tight trout]

one of their network forensics challenges was solvable by strings and grep for the flag header lmao

[knotty valve]

I mean that's forensics for you

Most challenges are like that

[tight trout]

the intended solve was to find the malformed requests, but oh well lol

[knotty valve]

There's always another way to solve a challenge

The CTF i hosted for uni had some wicked solves by the PhD students

[tight trout]

their "SQL injection" just used a regex to look for SQL-like statements, and then gave you the flag

i got the flag by checking the version of the database lmao

[knotty valve]

They probably didn't have the infra to properly host a DB

[tight trout]

they had a shit ton of sponsers, so i'd be suprised by that

[knotty valve]

We had a fun challenge where you had to hack a camera network and string together the flag hidden in each camera

[tight trout]

that's a cool one yeah

[knotty valve]

It was an accuracy killer though

Cause we don't tell you what number or order the cameras are in

[tight trout]

i helped make a beginner ctf for my uni, stuff like cyberchef basics, very simple osint, dig, etc

was fun, but kinda boring to watch

[knotty valve]

I believe one student solved it first try and was the first person to solve it

Girl was cracked tho, 1st year applied computing student and placed #1 in the first 4 hours with 100% completion and first blood on most challenges

[tight trout]

you sure that wasnt you? lmao

[knotty valve]

Yeah I wasn't allowed to play

Also I'm not 17 lmfao

Some people are insanely good

[knotty valve]

I did intentionally give players incorrect hints and gaslit them

[tight trout]

i wouldnt expect anything else from you lol

[knotty valve]

One of the students hated me so much they forfeited and dropped out of the class I co-lecture 🤣

[dark wolf]

Think of it this way. If you are an attacker, are you going to put fake malware to distract the SOC?

[tight trout]

why get seen by the SOC in the first place?

[dark wolf]

How do you really know you got it all. If you take the first thing you get then say yay i'm done, are you really done though?

[dark wolf]

You don't want them to get seen, but if they find it and say, let's see what else we can find, and they find crypto malware, get rid of it and stop looking .. well they shouldn't but they might.

So false flags are real life scenarios in some ways

[knotty valve]

Yes

Cause I'm a bitch

[dark wolf]

in that crypto case, maybe the crypto wasn't their goal, maybe they didn't want to encrypt everything, maybe they just wanted a back door into another system. boom they own that system and have a back door on it.

SOC thinks the crypto was the goal and they saved the day, they stop looking

[knotty valve]

I'd intentionally make it hard to find me then drop fake stuff on exfil

I did this last engagement 🤣

[knotty valve]

SOC will take a look at all actions taken and see what's actually going on and identify the MO that way

[dark wolf]

Yes, that's what they should do, but not all companies even have SOC. The point is the false flags and why they are valid

[knotty valve]

I've come across a lot of malware that are like this, cryptocurrency is just a side while they steal your info on exfil

[sly ridge]

You'd be surprised how often that doesn't actually happen like that

[dark wolf]

not crypto currency .... crypto malware that encrypts your file systems and demands ransom in the form of BTC

when SOC find that, they may think that was the goal

[sly ridge]

Vig is right. A lot of companies half ass the job

[knotty valve]

Everywhere I've worked done it like this

[tight trout]

ransomware?

[knotty valve]

Then again I don't work for small companies anymore

So I'm out of touch with what they're like

[dark wolf]

yeah, ransomware, you plant the ransomware, but have other intentions, ie false flags, the ransomware is the false flag

[tight trout]

if they detect something in the first place, they might do somehting about it

[knotty valve]

Someone tried ransomwaring use the other day

It failed horribly

[dark wolf]

I'm not even in CyberSecurity, im in Networking

[knotty valve]

I started in networking too

[dark wolf]

but I love the CTF stuff and learning more

[tight trout]

actually i heard about a cryptominer that infected a power farm of sorts, and since the cryptominer kept the system updated to keep out other malware so they could keep control of the system, the company decided to not remove it cause it was cheaper than full time IT

[dark wolf]

I used to know a lot more , a lot has changed , i need to dig into forensics and memory dumps and the like, i should know my system in and out

[tight trout]

bad grammar go brrrr

-# its me, im the bad grammar

[sly ridge]

Hey ngl, that's a win win

[dark wolf]

but im wondering whats going to come out in october afer windows stops patching windows 10 ... i mean fuck windows 11 am i right?

[fallen burrow]

Linux Mint or Kubuntu

[tight trout]

[fallen burrow]

Endeavor is pretty solid too if you want that Arch Linux flavor

[dark wolf]

That won't work for me. I did go through a period of about 6 years only using Linux, but I have too many apps that won't all work together.

[fallen burrow]

like what?

[dark wolf]

MSFS, excel, photoshop cc, wondershare filmora, insta 360, xbox game pass,. sure there are replacements and mods you can do to try and make them work, but ive spent years doing tweaks back when wine was the only solution

things are easier now, but thats why i have vms 🙂

and debian servers on the internet

at one point, openbsd was my home router

[fallen burrow]

oh man all of the difficult and proprietary software lol

[dark wolf]

oh yeah, package manager wasn't a package manager, it was a few select programs

everything was compiled on the system, things ran faster that way

./configure

make

make install

ohhhhh, i neeed that library, let me go compile that and come back

ok now i can ./configure ... rinse and repeat 12x times ... ok finally

[sinful moon]

Yeah um we came a long way since those kinda Slackware vibes lol

turns out dependancy management is nice c:

[dark wolf]

yeah for sure, i started with red hat

[sinful moon]

makes senses

[dark wolf]

it was red hat vs slackware and it was one or the other

[spice ermine]

why cant they make doxxing illegal

[tight trout]

just a little bit lol

[spice ermine]

why are data breaches so common

[dark wolf]

becaue companies pay crap for IT and then suffer

the fines are cheaper than making it secure

[spice ermine]

the laws on the internet are not heavily regulated

[tight trout]

cause companies are realizing that cyber insurance and a year of "free credit monitoring" is cheaper than securing systems

[spice ermine]

imo

[fallen burrow]

chemtrails

[spice ermine]

I see

[dark wolf]

the only thing that regulates things in the US is $$$$

[spice ermine]

how do data breaches even happen?

If you dont sign up for any weird or sus website

with that password

[dark wolf]

social engineering

convince help desk you are CEO

[tight trout]

company makes security mistake

gets hacked

[spice ermine]

Ohh

[tight trout]

customer database gets leaked

[spice ermine]

That makes sense

[tight trout]

super simplified but yeah

[dark wolf]

someone transfers customer data over unsecure network

someone taps the network at the CO

phone company doesn't pay for good cell security, someone compromises towers, now they can track everyone

[tight trout]

@rancid cypress please dont dm or send friend requests without asking first #rules

[rancid cypress]

Oh, sorry I didn’t know

[dark wolf]

How rude

[rancid cypress]

Im really sorry

[dark wolf]

In general, it's considered rude to do that cumfy, i understand you weren't aware

I just know there are mean people out there and I don't want you to get attacked in the future.

Something to keep in mind 🙂

[rancid cypress]

Ok, I will

Thanks

[dark wolf]

No sweat dude

[rancid cypress]

I just started tryhackme, so Im just getting to know things in cybersecurity security and pen testing

Im much interested in CTFs

[dark wolf]

They are a ton of fun and it take YEARS to learn it all

you just gotta keep at it and engaged

when you get bored try a different subject within the learning, there are so many different roles in cybersecurity

[rancid cypress]

Oh

Thats nice

[blazing granite]

you may say that's vigorizante 😂

[dark wolf]

Vigorizante is spanish for Invigorating

[rancid cypress]

After pre security, what’s next

[dark wolf]

Well you can decide what you want to learn next once you get through presecurity.

it doesn't matter what order you learn things in once you have the basics

but some things do rely on other things to an extent so they mesh together in some ways

[burnt basalt]

Hi everyone, I'm a complete beginner looking to get into cybersecurity and I'm really motivated to start learning. I've been exploring TryHackMe and it looks amazing I've already seen they have some free rooms.

Since I can't afford a subscription at the moment, I was wondering how far the free content can realistically take me. Is it possible to learn the core fundamentals and get a solid start using only the free resources on the site?

Thanks so much for your help!

[blazing granite]

About 60 or 70% of the website content is free so you're in good shape

[burnt basalt]

What does the other 30 or 40 % entail though?

And how far can I get just on free plan?

[blazing granite]

the premium stuff some time a bit more in depth rooms but for a beginner start wit the free stuff and you'll learn the basics

[burnt basalt]

What are other resources I can use to get the same stuff somebody would get from premium stuff

[marsh lark]

there might be some/many paywalls as you are learning

if you are a beginner, it could become difficult

[blazing granite]

google is a big one, research skills are paramount in cybersec

[blazing granite]

nothing that is worth comes without effort and difficulty

[marsh lark]

I'm talking about tryhackme specifically, but yes

[burnt basalt]

You're right, research is a key skill. I've been using Google, but the sheer volume of information on cybersecurity is overwhelming for a beginner. It's hard to know which resources are trustworthy vs. which are outdated or just wrong.

That's why I'm asking here to get guidance from experienced people on what's actually worth spending time on.

I've been down a rabbit-hole...

[blazing granite]

you get the basics on thm and then research there is a lot o good free stuff out threre

[marsh lark]

there are good stuff out there, but many of them are premium

[dark wolf]

Part of being in this role, IT in general, is that you find the stuff yourself. It teaches you how to find what you are looking for.

You also have to realize that when you are dealing with hackers, a lot of them will intentionaly steer you wrong.

So be careful.

There are outlines that you can get for free, you can google those all day long and find what works best for you, everyone learns differently, you have to apply yourself and have that hunger for knowledge.

I remember having to find solutions to issues on computers before google even existed

Ooohhh

i tried to do everything that was free so u can see stuff done from all paths

and some are more than 10% completed that's why

[burnt basalt]

I appreciate you taking the time to write that out, @dark wolf I'd like to respond to your points directly, because I believe we agree on the end goal, but are disagreeing on the best method for a beginner to get there.

You said, "Part of being in this role... is that you find the stuff yourself."
I agree that self-sufficiency is the goal. However, learning how to research effectively is a skill in itself. For a beginner, aimlessly searching without guidance is more likely to build bad habits than good ones. My request for guidance is an attempt to learn the right way to find things.

You said, "you have to realize that when you are dealing with hackers, a lot of them will intentionally steer you wrong. So be careful."
This is the exact reason I am asking here, in a trusted community, instead of blindly trusting random links on Google. I am trying to be careful by seeking advice from experienced people like yourselves.

You said, "you can google those all day long and find what works best for you."
This touches on the core of my problem. For a beginner, the internet isn't a library; it's a firehose of information. Without the experience to tell the difference between what's high-quality, what's dangerously outdated, and what's just plain wrong, telling me to "google it" is not helpful. I'm trying to find the signal in the noise.

Finally, you said, "you have to apply yourself and have that hunger for knowledge."
Please do not mistake my request for guidance as a lack of hunger. My hunger for knowledge is precisely why I am here. It’s why I'm trying to build a structured, efficient path instead of wasting weeks passively watching random videos. My hunger is for applicable skill, not just data. The reason I'm asking is to find the best way to fill the 30-40% content gap that exists without a THM premium subscription.

So, my specific question is this: Since the free plan on TryHackMe covers about 60-70% of the material, what are the best free, hands-on resources you would recommend to cover the other 30-40% of topics usually found in the premium rooms?

[tight trout]

[dark wolf]

Excellent and well-written response!!

[marsh lark]

I would say the only 50-55% of thm content is free

[dark wolf]

Thank you for taking the time to explain exactly what you have done and what you are looking for, not everyone does that, but you sir! You did!

I think once you go through all the free content here, you will have a great understanding of what it is you want to focus on.

Also, I use GPT for the challenges and it sucks but sometimes its okay

[marsh lark]

I mean, if you are a beginner, in thm specifically, there are a lot of paywalls

[dark wolf]

I think its a little over $10 a month for a year though, I caved, worth it, will make me wanna use it more.

have you tried restarting your pc or checking the wiring? 🙂

plug in the speakers

they aren't plugged in... 😛

LOL we had the same thought

[sick maple]

yah 😂

[craggy fulcrum]

they are

[sick maple]

you have the drivers installed?

[normal fable]

Windows or Linux?

[craggy fulcrum]

i plugged usb in pc and the aux cord in the green audio output port thing

[craggy fulcrum]

yeah

[craggy fulcrum]

windows 11

[normal fable]

Okay.. then.. idk.. lol

[sick maple]

then it's a problem

[tight trout]

check device manager, make sure drivers are up to date

[normal fable]

have you tried turning it off and on again??

[craggy fulcrum]

i think i need arch

[sick maple]

if it's linux, the problem can be many things

for windows idk

[normal fable]

and changing the output??

[craggy fulcrum]

i did that to ive been working on just the sound for hours

[sick maple]

install it then. manually ofcc

[craggy fulcrum]

ima just code my own OS in binary

[uneven nexus]

if its in binary its not code anymore

[normal fable]

Try ASM first.. X86.. then try bin...

[craggy fulcrum]

i think i should just do binary

[sick maple]

you have to see sunlight. then touch grass

[craggy fulcrum]

huh?

[sick maple]

nah i mean if you're gonna code in binary

then you're not likely to go outside

[craggy fulcrum]

lwk kinda easy beginner language tbh

[normal fable]

You could always try coding in machine language... which breaks down to binary.. and ... yeah....

[craggy fulcrum]

too hard

[junior wraith]

whats that mean, "code my os in binary"?

[normal fable]

C is a good low level lang to start with.. imo

[junior wraith]

and eh hola!

[wraith fjord]

do rust

[sick maple]

and rust

[craggy fulcrum]

binary easier to do

[normal fable]

rust is not... C.. 😛

[wraith fjord]

rust is better

[craggy fulcrum]

it's easier to understand

[wraith fjord]

C is meh

[sick maple]

similar

[uneven nexus]

🍿

[sick maple]

C is faster. rust is safer

[junior wraith]

whats the binary code for the instruction to turn off interrupts?

[normal fable]

C will be a great low level beginner language.. but you should start with a higher level if you don't code at all.

imo

[sick maple]

and i like those lil crabs

[normal fable]

Really depends on the coder... fr...

[wraith fjord]

Runtime is same on both

wdym?

[sick maple]

yh

[normal fable]

don't use.. insecure funcs from libs you don't understand...

[wraith fjord]

you cannot code a same alog with O(n) and O(logN) TC and expect them to run the same.

that would be a stoopid thing to do

[sick maple]

yh i mean, with ownership and stuff. rust is safer

[normal fable]

all the rust v C shit I've seen so far is... all library dependant.. but C in general runs rust.. so.. 🤷

I mean.. Rust is built on C as a backend... what I'm trying to say.

[wraith fjord]

no you said C is faster

anyways

not gonna induge in this conversation

[normal fable]

C can be just as fast as Rust... fr

#programming ... LMAO
I'm not there nor will I be. 😛

[hollow cobalt]

[sick maple]

it's a very little difference because runtime checks in rust?

[worldly tide]

C or C++?

[normal fable]

I'll have that debate another decade... 😛

Don't pointer at my register duuude...

[sick maple]

c++ is easier

[queen fractal]

To start Try hack me, knowing the languages derived from Javascript (Node, react...) and having basic C++ are enough?

[normal fable]

You can start THM with 0 knowledge

i almost just burned myself on my pc

thats not normal

I tried the bundle command

for jekyle

[normal fable]

I mean.. I'm planning on eventually going through all the rooms I've finished and trying with Powershell... But... More of a challenge to me...

[marsh lark]

it isn't working

[knotty valve]

Do you have ruby installed

[marsh lark]

the command is working

but like

[uneven nexus]

looks like you made a bomb buddy

[marsh lark]

it isn't pushing an action in github

[knotty valve]

Check that your actions are setup correctly

[marsh lark]

wut actions

lol

in github?

[knotty valve]

Yes

[rapid merlin]

Whats up my man

[marsh lark]

it seems to be working

[tight trout]

the bundle command doesn't make the action go

[worldly tide]

Which is good?

[marsh lark]

I used a different way, and this was how it worked:

[marsh lark]

bundle jekyll thing?

[tight trout]

the action only goes when you push to the remote

[tight trout]

bundle exec jekyll s builds locally

[knotty valve]

Which is just C but weird

[marsh lark]

ohhh

[sick maple]

hmm ic. i don't use much c or c++

[marsh lark]

then how do I get it to edit in github?

[tight trout]

the action runs when you push your commit

[marsh lark]

ohhhh

so you have to make a commmit and push it, right?

[tight trout]

yes

[knotty valve]

Yah

[marsh lark]

lol

[worldly tide]

what are the use cases of c and c++

[marsh lark]

cuz when you did it

it just worked

so I was confused

lol

[ripe cosmos]

These SIEM rooms are so cool. I love working with SIEMs.

[tight trout]

yah, it built the blog site upon my last push

then it ran locally when i ran the command

two separate web servers

two separate sites technically

idk it's 00:30

[knotty valve]

There's plenty of cases:
Low level programming (drivers, system apps, OS Dev, etc.), Game Dev, machine learning, so on and so forth

You can use either for hosting RESTful APIs

[marsh lark]

ok, so gotta make a commit, then push

cool 🙂

[knotty valve]

Depends on what you want to do with it

[craggy fulcrum]

i put my hand on the metal part closest to the fans that blow out hot air

smh ash

Low level is machine language

This for sure

how do you survive with a scrambled brain?

[knotty valve]

Lmao

[normal fable]

moo? no..

lol

Zumi.. moo.. been a min huh?

[knotty valve]

C++ is getting a lot more mem safe which is nice

[normal fable]

I still haven't gotten above 0x13...

[knotty valve]

Clang has done wonders for compiler stuff too

[normal fable]

C coding has always been mem safe.. if they do it right.... 😛

[knotty valve]

That goes for any language

I can make Rust unsafe too by using safe functions

[normal fable]

0xD.. omg.. I'm a n00b.. today.. night.. whatever..

[knotty valve]

I love how Rust relies on unsafe vector code

[normal fable]

huh?? 😛

[knotty valve]

Where's your god now, Rust Devs

[normal fable]

rust is awesome...

I prefer VB.. tho... 😉

it still works on Windows.... 🤣

[knotty valve]

VBScript malware is funny

[knotty valve]

I mean it was designed for windows

[normal fable]

I did BASIC on my VIC-20...

[knotty valve]

I don't see why it wouldn't still work

Python 2 still works on windows

[normal fable]

I'm old yes...

[knotty valve]

Oh god basic

[normal fable]

omg.. you have to install python for that to work....

[knotty valve]

I remember mac used to let you run python code without the interpreter installed

Cause it would use the inbuilt one

[normal fable]

I do not recall that.. but I've never been an apple guy...

[knotty valve]

I used to do funny stuff with my old macbook

It was running snow leopard

Then apple stopped supporting it

[normal fable]

Windows (afaik) to this day uses BASIC...

[knotty valve]

Windows mainly uses C and C++ now

I believe they did start using rust for some things

[normal fable]

C# too

[knotty valve]

But I can't confirm that

[knotty valve]

That was with win10

When they introduced that bs app framework

[normal fable]

Doesn't win 11 do that too? I haven't tried..

[knotty valve]

God I hate UWPs

[normal fable]

Net+ is when all that started iirc

.net...

[knotty valve]

I hate winapi too

Honestly just hate all things made for windows

[normal fable]

I'm on a windows computer now... and it's.. okay for my YT vids.. lol

[knotty valve]

I stopped using windows after it would fuck my grub setup EVERY. FUCKING. UPDATE

Like pls windows

[ripe void]

Hey anybody familiar with current status of snort like what are the updates , like i have done snort room series , like whats now to discover ?

[knotty valve]

Respect grub 💔

[sick maple]

i made the switch last week. i used arch on my laptop but kept windows on my pc cuz i needed to use adobe software. now i switched it to pop and quit windows.

[knotty valve]

Adobe sucks

I refuse to use their products

[sick maple]

goodmorning hackers

[normal fable]

It's 23:11.. 😛

[slow cloud]

[naive silo]

I was looking for the flag for the process spent a good hour only to find out that I wasn't SSH'ed into the machine....fun times

1:14

[knotty valve]

I've done that before 🤣

[slow cloud]

been there done that

[naive silo]

Ever call an emotionless machine something offensive? Or something steps on the lines of terms and conditions?

[junior wraith]

other way around also. forgetting to log out and not finding anything

[open lake]

Yes but then it started mentioning something about skynet

Didn't know what it was talking about....

[knotty valve]

I insult anything that's inanimate

Is it my fault that it's not doing what I want it to?

Absolutely

Do I still abuse it? Even more so!

[open lake]

No it's the machines fault, the peak is gaslighting yourself into making it the machines fault and not yours

[knotty valve]

Me when games

[naive silo]

Like oh you're not working whispers into the nonexistent ear of the machine I will break youuuuu

[junior wraith]

how do you talk to AI? like "can you please answer this" or just "what is this"?
