[dark mason]

What are u using for hosting?

[marsh lark]

chirpy jekyll

github

[dark mason]

Uhhh, I am not familiar with that

[loud marlin]

i just hate design 3d shits

[marsh lark]

hosted on github, chirpy-jekyll theme

[dark mason]

For github I just uploaded a new image named favicon.ico

Or

[marsh lark]

uhhh

[dark mason]

<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/images/favicon.ico">

[marsh lark]

I think you gotta link it somewhere

[marsh lark]

it uses yml

the config

so

probably different

[dark mason]

[rapid merlin]

That's a favicon right?

[empty ember]

href=

[marsh lark]

probably

yeah

[empty ember]

so are eth wallets just hex without the 0x

[dark mason]

@marsh lark what if u add a image file in here?

Doesn't seem to be in the config

[marsh lark]

probably icon format, not necessarily icon image

[frail basin]

guys i manipulated frontend stuff with burp suite but site checks backend what do i do

[empty ember]

link:
  rel: "icon"
  type: "image/x-icon"
  href: "/images/favicon.ico"

[marsh lark]

#1: did you have consent to check on that site?

[frail basin]

yas

[marsh lark]

do you have a written contract?

signed and everything?

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-squidward-tentacles-spongebob-look-around-awkward-gif-496727432057798195

[marsh lark]

you do need one

[rapid merlin]

Ya I know

[dark mason]

Maybe it was from a bug bounty website

[marsh lark]

I'll check, one sec

[dark mason]

You don't need these there

[rapid merlin]

I scared for him

[marsh lark]

possibly

[frail basin]

wdym

[copper phoenix]

[marsh lark]

ok, you are testing the website, is there either a bug bounty or you have a written contract that you can test their website

[frail basin]

its a hackerone bug bounty

[copper phoenix]

Or is it your website, or is it a test enviroment

yes

[sullen kestrel]

guys is there a way to recover my microsoft account if i lost password and no 2fa avaialabe

[marsh lark]

ok, that makes sense

[next grove]

[rapid merlin]

Then it's ok

[frail basin]

but what do i do

im not very goot at this

[dark mason]

What games do u play?

[copper phoenix]

[marsh lark]

then why are you doing bug bounties

lol

they are very hard

and a scam actually

[rapid merlin]

U have email and pass

[sullen kestrel]

i got email no pass

[mellow narwhal]

https://tenor.com/qI0A4OWSYTF.gif

[next grove]

World of Warcraft, Tetris Effect Connected, TF2, Hacknet, Hacker Simulator, and Drone Simulator.

[marsh lark]

yes

[dark mason]

The best bug bounties for you are those that give you nothing (at the start), these look good on your resume

[sullen kestrel]

bros a g

[mellow narwhal]

show me

[dark mason]

Awh, no flight sims?

[marsh lark]

yeah, but no one basically does that really

[next grove]

Not yet.

[unreal gull]

Wsp guyss

[marsh lark]

ask toaster

lol

[rapid merlin]

Forgot password

[swift quail]

Old School runescape

[copper phoenix]

Havent played Effect for years

[marsh lark]

ask experienced people

[frail basin]

good money

[next grove]

Still as fun as ever.

[marsh lark]

nah, they are scams

[sullen kestrel]

asks for random ancient phone number verification that i used years ago and discarded

[dark mason]

Hi!

[mellow narwhal]

why would they think its a scam if they're experienced?

[frail basin]

some youtuber got 100 bands

[marsh lark]

either the bugs you found were found by someone else or you don't get much money from it

[marsh lark]

nahhh

[empty ember]

lol

[marsh lark]

doesn't mean everyone gets 100 bands

[frail basin]

yahhh

[marsh lark]

most people get nothing

[unreal gull]

Yo you good, im a noob at this cyber security stuuf, but im tryna learn, how can u guys help

[marsh lark]

or only a bit

[frail basin]

yeah but i wanna get something

[mellow narwhal]

whoever sent that screenshot, I hope it was disclosed lol

[marsh lark]

Clumsy, you are just good man

[frail basin]

its quite a cool job actually

[marsh lark]

bug bounty is not a job lol

[mellow narwhal]

lol no

[rapid merlin]

Choose to get reset link via email not phone number

[empty ember]

Na I used to be evil then I was an a hole now I'm a dick reeeeeee

[marsh lark]

have you done bug bounties?

[mellow narwhal]

yes

[frail basin]

pays more than 9 to 5 if you good at it

[marsh lark]

yeah, but you literally said you wer enot

[copper phoenix]

i dont know

[mellow narwhal]

well more like doing, but I don't really have the time

[dark mason]

https://www.tryhackme.com/

[rapid merlin]

Have u done

[empty ember]

I got a confirmed bug with ibm xforce b4

[frail basin]

yeah i wanna cut corners

[marsh lark]

I've heard from experience people

[sullen kestrel]

here comes more: there is no additional email i added for 2fa

[marsh lark]

no shortcuts in life and cybersecurity

[mellow narwhal]

currently doing Microsoft

[swift quail]

AI to cut corners

[frail basin]

but i learned how to manipulate the stuff with burp suite

[marsh lark]

....

[mellow narwhal]

and Discord

[marsh lark]

I mean

[swift quail]

You have to fake it until you make it

[marsh lark]

thats not the only thing you need

[rapid merlin]

Is it tough

[frail basin]

its quite impressive tho

[empty ember]

https://msrc.microsoft.com/report/vulnerability

[mellow narwhal]

Yes, its also fun though

[empty ember]

I'm on their researcher list

[marsh lark]

I mean, thats one tactic if the site is vulnerable to it

somehow

[rapid merlin]

I don't know where to start

[marsh lark]

but if it isn't

[mellow narwhal]

Oh that's nice! What did you find, if its disclosed?

[marsh lark]

I mean, if you aren't like really good, it might be hard to make much money

[frail basin]

according to chatgpt 95 percent of sites check backends so it isnt really usefuk

[mellow narwhal]

being on MSRC is a considerable achievement imo

[empty ember]

I found an openurlredirect in learning.microsoft.com sign up that let me pop calc

[unreal gull]

Im doing that already, how long do you think it will take to finish

[tight trout]

is that true though?

[rapid merlin]

True

[mellow narwhal]

wow. do you have a writeup somewhere?

[marsh lark]

probably not best to ask ChatGPT those questions unless you have sources

[marsh lark]

mints, btw, I pinged you, can you see my message?

if you can?

[tight trout]

ill check my phone in a sec

[unreal gull]

U guys are pproper good 😭😭😭

[marsh lark]

take your time 🙂

[sullen kestrel]

did anyone here play shadow fight 2

[dark mason]

Me, I love that game

[sullen kestrel]

[unreal gull]

Everyone gng

[empty ember]

i know the guy that is national lead of msrc vishal amin he is really cool ppl actually

[sullen kestrel]

[frail basin]

[sullen kestrel]

[unreal gull]

Guys how useful is the try hack me course for a 15 yr old

[marsh lark]

I'm 14

yes

[unreal gull]

Hope i can learn it properly

[marsh lark]

you can, but there might be quite some paywalls

if you don't get premium at least

[unreal gull]

Damn, Fairs

[rapid merlin]

Our groups child prodigy

[marsh lark]

lol

[sullen kestrel]

im 14 aswell and going pretty good for me expect pre security is very hard to absorb

[rapid merlin]

Notes is key

[dark mason]

@marsh lark when is ur bd?

[unreal gull]

Paywalls for what 😭😭

[marsh lark]

not everything is free

[dark mason]

Premium

[empty ember]

I got dis 1 too worse writeup i ever did bc i only had a phone at the time rofl

[marsh lark]

maybe 55% of rooms are free

[frozen gull]

guys any cybersec internship i can get ?

[marsh lark]

but thats just rooms

[marsh lark]

maybe search on linkedin

[unreal gull]

I swear like theres like a free course

[frozen gull]

begginer level ? 😦

[empty ember]

im /clumsy on there

[frozen gull]

im a first year student rn

[frail basin]

same bro how do i get good at this

[marsh lark]

55% is free, but you can't just follow it, some free rooms require knowledge from premium rooms

[rapid merlin]

Don't choose quantity over quality my friend

[marsh lark]

you don't take shortcuts and you learn

[empty ember]

you pick up a pdf and your laptop and you read

[sullen kestrel]

like in middle of learning you suddenly get premium rooms if your a unpaid user

[frail basin]

how long have you been learning

[marsh lark]

yah

[marsh lark]

4-5 monhts

[unreal gull]

wdym, i aint got any money to pay 😭 , im broke, im 15

[frail basin]

how good are you

[marsh lark]

I mean

how can I answer that question

lol

[unreal gull]

How lond does it take to completer the course

[frail basin]

like what difficulty do you do on tryhackme

[empty ember]

do u guys like my one plus pro 7 it's jtagged

[marsh lark]

easy/medium challenges, sometimes hard

[rapid merlin]

Earn money, be a man

[frail basin]

what does that mean

[marsh lark]

but hards are verrry difficult

[frail basin]

bro add me and teach me i beg

[marsh lark]

sometimes need to "peak" at walkthroughs (not cheating, not copy and pasting)

[empty ember]

it's the terry davis of phones

[unreal gull]

Gng how tho

[marsh lark]

uhh, no

[sullen kestrel]

thats a good phone for gaming and look what you made it into

[unreal gull]

I am tring to find a job this summer

[frail basin]

i barely get past easy using chatgpt

[empty ember]

it's on it's own telco network and running it's own kernel

[unreal gull]

wdym

[marsh lark]

easy challenges on tryhackme

[rapid merlin]

A magician never reveals his tricks

[tight trout]

try not to rely on ChatGPT too much, make sure that you do some research if stuck

[unreal gull]

what 😭😭, I have a lot to learn

[tight trout]

or ask us for help

[empty ember]

apt-cache search

[copper phoenix]

🎒

[empty ember]

get-help networking

[unreal gull]

So are u guys really good at coding

[empty ember]

thanks powershell

[unreal gull]

I am shit at it

[empty ember]

xD

[copper phoenix]

[marsh lark]

uhh

[empty ember]

you can always learn

[tight trout]

pfft im shite

[rapid merlin]

First try the free rooms, you will get better

[empty ember]

im terrible at explaining things and def not a pr guy we would get sued so quick lmao

[unreal gull]

Like i aint the best, but close to not good

[topaz sedge]

Not really

[mellow narwhal]

one month of hackthebox will make you understand where the difficulty truly stands
hards on THM are, like, medium at most

[unreal gull]

thats what im doing during summer, lock in for this shit

[rapid merlin]

https://github.com/Hunterdii/TryHackMe-Roadmap

[empty ember]

https://devguide.python.org/

[marsh lark]

yah, I tried HTB

but can't do it yet

too hard for me

[mellow narwhal]

yeah that's totally fair

whenever you're ready

[topaz sedge]

Same

[marsh lark]

yeah

[topaz sedge]

I'm gonna start HTB again soon

[rapid merlin]

Do this 500 rooms👍

[topaz sedge]

But I need mental patience for it

[unreal gull]

cmon

[rapid merlin]

@unreal gull

[unreal gull]

Im scared that i aint absorbing the info

[empty ember]

https://tenor.com/bP6U6FvaVM7.gif

if u know u know

[rapid merlin]

Something is better than nothing

[topaz sedge]

I can code my way out of a paper bag but that's it

I don't have an interest in coding projects

[dark mason]

No one is good at cybersec, everyone is just, less bad

[topaz sedge]

My interest is more in pentesting and I wanna try bug bounties

[tight trout]

[unreal gull]

How will this help pls ?

[digital estuary]

im so happy im not the only one

i thought it was just my laziness

[tight trout]

its a roadmap for THM

[digital estuary]

like i could never finish a project to the end because i would never have any ideas

[topaz sedge]

I know enough coding to get my way around vulnerabilities

[frozen gull]

pen testing is overworking with less pay damn

[rapid merlin]

U said u want to learn something in cybersecurity, u don't have money so use this

[empty ember]

https://tenor.com/bXxx5.gif

[topaz sedge]

I learnt PHP to understand some website pentesting stuff

[frozen gull]

the avg salary in most countries except the US is pretty low

[unreal gull]

Luv gng

[topaz sedge]

I learnt bash to navigate through the terminal

[digital estuary]

i wish i returned to cyber a long time ago i would of kept going on

[topaz sedge]

Learnt some C for ricing linux

[frail basin]

but no one answered my question on what to do if site checks backend

[frozen gull]

u use both htb and thm damn

[digital estuary]

yeah knowing enough coding to secure vulnerabilities is perfect

[frozen gull]

i barely get time for one

[marsh lark]

I mean

[unreal gull]

Once im done with try hackme course, I will be back for more consultation

[marsh lark]

you gotta figure it out yourself

[empty ember]

hey u been hacking bro

[topaz sedge]

I'm having college holidays

[frail basin]

ima ask gpt

[frozen gull]

which year r u in

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/good-luck-gif-24090093

[marsh lark]

gpt.... probably won't help

[frozen gull]

i mean my college vacation starts in august hehe

[topaz sedge]

Going to enter 2nd

[empty ember]

just remember to stay in scope

[frozen gull]

same

[unreal gull]

LUV

[rapid merlin]

He can try hackergpt

[frail basin]

do you actually know how to do it by yourself???

[frail basin]

whats that

[marsh lark]

I'm just saying that gpt probably won't help

[marsh lark]

it probably won't know how the backend works for that site

[rapid merlin]

Ethical hacking chat gpt
With no restriction

[marsh lark]

uhhh

I mean

there are restrictions

I hope

I mean like

it shouldn't be let loose

[rapid merlin]

Nope

[marsh lark]

like not hacking illegally

[frozen gull]

oh its js chatgpt with osint tools

lmao

[digital estuary]

ouh...

[marsh lark]

ok, that makes sense

[frail basin]

ik but im just saying that doing hard hacking challenges by yourself after 4 months of learning is beyond impressive. im proud of you.

[digital estuary]

oops

[marsh lark]

I sometimes peak at walkthroughs for hints (not cheating) for those, sometimes for mediums as well

[frail basin]

is it a gpt on chatgpt or is it a different website

[marsh lark]

thats an illusion

[frozen gull]

its on git

[empty ember]

lol

[frail basin]

no its atnalta

[marsh lark]

its just basically does OSINT

[frail basin]

whats osint

[marsh lark]

but it is apparently on git

[digital estuary]

open source intelligence

[marsh lark]

OSINT is basically finding open source info/intelligence

[frail basin]

whats open source intel

[uneven nexus]

doxin for feds

[empty ember]

my flipper is anonymous wbu

[digital estuary]

consider this
you dont know someones name but know how they look

you look for their appearance on public profiles

[frail basin]

ive seen that on youtube

[digital estuary]

and you can lets say ifnd out their name

n such

[empty ember]

that's actually my flipper that i own

[marsh lark]

niceee

flippers are cool

[empty ember]

not without a dev board

[frail basin]

you have so many hacking stuff its acc quite cool

[marsh lark]

true

[digital estuary]

are they worth it to get?

[empty ember]

i need the dev board so bad

[frozen gull]

oh its useless dawg lmao

[frail basin]

what exactly do flipper do

[marsh lark]

quite some things, but you can customise it

you gotta kinda

[empty ember]

well no not if u hard wire it into a begle bone white

[marsh lark]

for it to be useful to you

[marsh lark]

lol

[frozen gull]

u gotta re program i according to ur usage

zero flipper

[frail basin]

@empty ember are you good at hacking stuff

[marsh lark]

I mean, to be very useful to you

[marsh lark]

he is

[empty ember]

hacking is illegal

[digital estuary]

i got a bad feeling guys...

[marsh lark]

lol

[frozen gull]

hacking stuff

[digital estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cool-silly-gif-4181290523021731247

[marsh lark]

hmm

[frail basin]

but you have hacker phone thing

[frozen gull]

hacking is illegal under section 66

non bailable offence

[marsh lark]

if you use it for illegal stuff

then it is illegal

[copper phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/top-hat-pout-silly-squint-stare-gif-16971781

[empty ember]

no i have a reverse engineered phone that i hardware modded

[frail basin]

explain more simply please

[empty ember]

hacking without permission is a crime

[frail basin]

also if i play that audio recording will i get a virus

[marsh lark]

uhh

[copper phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/gngsta-gif-6348168519577021315

[marsh lark]

thats not how malware works

[digital estuary]

💔

[marsh lark]

but maybe

probably not

I don't think Clumsy wants to be banned

[frail basin]

i played it and nothing happened

[empty ember]

lol

[frail basin]

@empty ember accept friend

[marsh lark]

probably, but you always gotta be sus about stuff

[digital estuary]

i remember the first time when someone managed to make AV software trigger when you play a video lol

[marsh lark]

oh no

[digital estuary]

on discord

[marsh lark]

lol

[digital estuary]

told you i got a bad feeling...

[marsh lark]

yah

[digital estuary]

i remember my friennd sending me the phineas and ferb meme with the indian guy that says hello your computer has virus

then something got flagged when the video finished

[empty ember]

you can burn the boxes and feed the birds while outside

[gusty inlet]

[marsh lark]

oooooo

🙂

[gusty inlet]

Time to build that monster up.

[empty ember]

I have some dell enterprise one's i don't need with sleeves

[frail basin]

are they just hard drives or something cool and hacky

[marsh lark]

for servers

I believe

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/salem-techsperts-gif-2188270028763501949

[gusty inlet]

NAS Hard Drives

Not just hard drives.

[marsh lark]

well, good luck, I hope nothing doesn't work

[gusty inlet]

8 TB each.

[empty ember]

yeah the ones i have are for idrac9

[marsh lark]

niceeee

[digital estuary]

ohhh my GOD

🤑

[gusty inlet]

They go up to 20 each but are expensive.

Seagate Ironwolf.

[empty ember]

8tb u could download so many txt files with that

[marsh lark]

20K?!

[gusty inlet]

20TB each, yes.

[digital estuary]

[marsh lark]

wait wut

20TB?

[empty ember]

20tb that's hella txt files

[marsh lark]

ohhh

I got it

lol

[empty ember]

hellabytes

[marsh lark]

ooooooo

nice and compact

[rapid merlin]

So how much total storage ull have after the build

[frail basin]

guys can i become good white hat hacker with my low end samsung laptop

[gusty inlet]

16TB and I still have 2 NVME slots if needed.

[rapid merlin]

Laptop doesn't matter, skill matters

[empty ember]

eth developers don't accept p2p dos as bugs lmao

[marsh lark]

probably, in the future, if you have a job, your company will probably help you get a better laptop, but of course, laptop doesn't matter

[frail basin]

but in fast x when they hacking they needed more computing power what if i fall in a situation like that

[marsh lark]

then your laptop does go slower

[uneven nexus]

some of these kids are geting flags using kali on android

[rapid merlin]

U ain't hacking nasa right now

[marsh lark]

true

[empty ember]

i was making it weigh more with files

[frail basin]

fairs

[copper phoenix]

[frail basin]

but someone please answer me what do i do if site checks backend 💔

[rapid merlin]

In future u could, never believe u can't

[marsh lark]

then you look at backend

[empty ember]

I'm calling about your extended warranty sir

[frail basin]

how

[marsh lark]

you gotta figure that out yourself

either you learn from online resources

[frail basin]

have you done it before

[marsh lark]

or you try using burp suite

[empty ember]

or fiddler

[marsh lark]

no, why?

[frail basin]

burp suite is frontend only

[marsh lark]

lol, yeah

[frail basin]

i passed the gest

[marsh lark]

then just use online resources

[empty ember]

using cracked burp is frowned upon

[marsh lark]

you mean burp pro with tons of extensions

[empty ember]

yes i think it's still $400 for the key

brute ratel is pretty nice too

[frail basin]

@empty ember do you know how to do backend stuff

[empty ember]

as a sysadmin that audits with debian i do not recall

[frail basin]

ok

but does anyone know any good tools for doing backend stuff

[marsh lark]

the terminal

[vagrant shore]

[vagrant shore]

Guys

[uneven nexus]

SIR YES SIR

[vagrant shore]

What is #bug-bounty ?

Real USD?

[uneven nexus]

yes

[copper phoenix]

Jay thinking right now:
https://tenor.com/view/cash-fortress-snipers-eye-money-cold-hard-cash-lionsgate-gif-25657951

[vagrant shore]

So, im still confused XD

Someone in this server has a coding issue.

They put it in #bug

Bug bounties.

And whoever helps them gets payed?

[copper phoenix]

Its a channel that talks about the topic bug-bounty in general

[vagrant shore]

Ahhhh

That makes sense.

I was like - no way Microsoft has a discord account and is putting bounties out like that.

That would be insanely crazy.

How long have you guys been into this kinda thing?

Hacking, ethical hacking, that kinda stuff.

[mortal ether]

You can just google "bug bounty program"

[vagrant shore]

I’m not good enough yet for that.

I dont have a laptop

[scarlet pebble]

Imma dm you the link

[vagrant shore]

Closest thing I have

Is an iPad

With a keyboard case.

😭

[loud marlin]

if can't practice... then read all the things. learn concepts and all the things

tbh... i read more than i do

[sand trench]

https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/[e-mail]/thread/7EZTJXLIAQLARQNTMEW2HBWZYE626IFJ/

apparently someone uploaded remote access trojans to arch user repository

see link above for details

[mortal ether]

I just meant you can go read about what a bug bounty program is and how it works. You don't need a laptop to just google the definition

[marsh lark]

hi denial 🙂

[mortal ether]

Anyway, it's not just about bugs when coding, but also finding security vulnerabilities that you can then get paid for in some cases

Hey Donut, what are you up to

[marsh lark]

watching netflix

lol

[dark mason]

What on Netflix?

I need new shows

[marsh lark]

korean tv show

basically #1

in sk

[marsh lark]

called running man

[dark mason]

Interesting

[marsh lark]

has been going for 15 years

I think

[dark mason]

Other show recomandations?

[marsh lark]

uhh

watched kpop demon hunters?

its a movie

but

[dark mason]

I don't like Korean shows

Simply because I have to read subtitles

[marsh lark]

its in english

[dark mason]

Oh!

[marsh lark]

the songs they sing are also basically almost all in english as well

[topaz sedge]

I assume you also don't like anime

[dark mason]

Nope

[topaz sedge]

Fair enough

[dark mason]

Like, I am considering death note

[loud marlin]

so far i look safe 🙂

[sand trench]

yeah shadow is also safe

just wanted to mention it in here just incase

[loud marlin]

i got librewolf, but not fix part

[dark mason]

Rn I am waiting for more dexter resurrection episodes

[loud marlin]

black mirror ❤️

[sand trench]

ditto

[vagrant shore]

What do you guys recommend I do to begin doing this kind of thing?

Im on a windows 11 PC

[marsh lark]

get a linux vm

that will be very helpful

vm is virtual machine btw

[vagrant shore]

So in other words

Dont use windows?

[marsh lark]

I mean

you can use windows

[vagrant shore]

I need to use windows as my primary fs

For sure

[marsh lark]

but most of the hacking stuff works in linux

[vagrant shore]

Is there like a way

For me to

[marsh lark]

yeah, you can create a virtual machine

[vagrant shore]

Okay

[marsh lark]

you can search on youtube to set it up

[vagrant shore]

Thats what I'll do

[marsh lark]

I would recommend kali linux

or parrot os

[vapid temple]

https://tenor.com/view/wallet-perms-alert-discord-whiskers-gif-19278681

I know it 🗿💔

[loud marlin]

i will not recomend using hannah montana linux

[marsh lark]

lol

[crystal mauve]

I just used the attack box for a couple months

[bleak quartz]

Well I would advice to not run any tools on your main os especially ones from 3rd parties, it always carries a risk and taking that is just not needed

[digital estuary]

sup manner!!

hows it going?

[bleak quartz]

Just run it on a vm in cloud or local

[lavish fox]

I am currently new In cybersecurity i am going to college from August which book should I read for knowledge i am new

[marsh lark]

is your server working?

[marsh lark]

try tryhackme

its a website

[polar spoke]

except for tools that should be run on your host OS

like hashcat 🙂

[gusty inlet]

#AD

[polar spoke]

lol

[lavish fox]

I need a book

Can anyone give me suggestions about book first I have to read for my foundation

[marsh lark]

may I ask why you NEED a book only?

[polar spoke]

no one book is going to give you foundational knowledge

[marsh lark]

^

[polar spoke]

in fact, i'd argue no amount of books will

[swift quail]

I am watching RooCop 2014

Robo

[polar spoke]

as a significant portion of it has to be learned by experience

or rather, should be

[gusty inlet]

I'm watching Tomorrowland.

[marsh lark]

tryhackme will start with the fundamentals and the very start

[lavish fox]

Ok thanks

[loud marlin]

khm khm

[marsh lark]

fundamentals

[loud marlin]

yep. exactly

[marsh lark]

but that is a lot of books

but even if you read books, you need a place to practice it, etc.

tryhackme is great for that

and learning

[brisk charm]

Any free platform to read books ?

[loud marlin]

ya think 🙂

[mossy river]

Library is usually a great place to get free books

[marsh lark]

hi jabba 🙂

hru?

[brisk charm]

I meant through online

[tight trout]

follow the docs that pinged you @vagrant shore

[worn plank]

Anyone else recently come to the crushing realization that getting into cyber will be next to impossible these days?

Like, actually having it sink in, because everybody wants to be in some sector of it, and the only positions are depthful AF

[vagrant shore]

Shut up :C

Don’t ruin my hopes

XD

[uneven nexus]

the higher end stuff is safe but harder to get into becuase its higher end lol

[vagrant shore]

In other words

We just got to practice more

Learn more

And get higher ends.

Also, what is X34DBG?

[uneven nexus]

x32dbg/x64dbg is a debugger for windows exes

its useful for reverse engineering and etc

one of my favorite tools despite sucking at it

[faint parcel]

hii

i was doing pre security but got stuck because Intro to LAN is premium, what to do now

[tight trout]

either get premium, or skip it

[faint parcel]

cant buy premium

it means i have to skip all the other topics now

[rapid merlin]

Skip it my boi

[faint parcel]

aghh okay sir shit

[rapid merlin]

Or else learn online

[tight trout]

you can supplement it with other sources, but yeah

[faint parcel]

ikr any youtube suggestions?

[tight trout]

lmao AUR had RATs uploaded to it posing as web browsers

[rapid merlin]

Lol

[tight trout]

not youtube, but i personally would look at walkthroughs for those rooms on sites like medium, you still might get some of the content

[rapid merlin]

Medium is great for these things

[topaz falcon]

Just the job market being wack. You'll be fine. 2008 was far worse

There are no guaranteed jobs

[scarlet nimbus]

Me working as a Soc L1 rn

[sly ridge]

If you find out which ones they are, can you share with the class?

[worn plank]

True that, man. That's some sobering, solid advice. Thank you for that.

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @topaz falcon (current: #804 - 7)

[digital estuary]

sup @worn plank !!!

havent seen you in a while

im doing web hacking now 👹

omw to catch up

[topaz falcon]

You may want to understand too if you're area is affected worse by it. Some places just don't have jobs compared to other places.

I probably wouldn't get a job in Tom's Town in a certain county for example

[scarlet nimbus]

It is literally a military camp, the more negative the scenario, the more viable the job positions.

[sly ridge]

If you live in Maryland, you'll have a much easier time getting a job in cyber

Esp if your background is clean

[naive violet]

Heh

Unless your username is @sly ridge
They frown on those associations...

[topaz falcon]

In general it's just good to understand too that someone's hometown may literally just not have those kinds of jobs

[sly ridge]

This is why Indica lives online, and even my actual THM account is more "professional "

[topaz falcon]

Better to apply and plan than worry and shutdown

[scarlet nimbus]

I am working about 20 km away where I live because mssp are not big enough.

[topaz falcon]

Exactly. May just take some time to get a job or extra steps.

@worn plank if you're not in the job market yet, you could always try to enter into IT while still applying to get into cyber. Gives you money and valuable experience

[uneven nexus]

you need a clearance and no one wants to sponsor though thats the drawback

[rapid merlin]

not that fun imo

[digital estuary]

i dont find it FUN AT ALL

i took a nap 3 TIMES until i finished the first room in the web hacking module

[worn plank]

The problem that I'm having with that is that everyone wants 2-3 years experience for level 1 support/help desk roles. 😂

[rapid merlin]

eh sometimes its fun

[celest dirge]

Chat, am I cooked?
Woke up from a dream about blue teaming in general.

[topaz falcon]

Apply anyways

[rapid merlin]

no ur a legend in the making

[digital estuary]

wtf?!

[worn plank]

Unbelievably based.

[rapid merlin]

fake it lmao

[digital estuary]

i dont like the "years of experience" part in any job

[worn plank]

That is exactly the kind of brainhole juicing that I need to perform.

[sly ridge]

I've seen a few companies sponsor it, but this is true

[topaz falcon]

I wouldn't suggest faking it but I will mention that you should look into local government positions, schools, universities.

[worn plank]

I've lied on every single resume I've ever written. You're right. Time to fake it till I make it.

[uneven nexus]

if you have a clearance though and your in md i wouldnt be surprised if they would train up a janitor even Lol

[topaz falcon]

They usually are a lot more relaxed on requirements.

[scarlet nimbus]

It's fine! It is over when you dream about windows Event Id 💀

[worn plank]

I'll look into that.

I just want to be in the field. I want to challenge myself for a while, and this is precisely the field to do it in.

[topaz falcon]

Look into smaller companies by the way, anywhere in your country and apply

[worn plank]

Do many end up focusing on remote?

[topaz falcon]

And I'd probably suggest to make a homelab, important for later on too

[celest dirge]

I already have, it was a nightmare, it was about Get-WinEvent, Hashtable, Xfilter 😭

[worn plank]

Seriously dude. Everything I look at asks for experience that you only get from those roles. 😂

[faint parcel]

how do i hack tryhackme to use their premium for free

[digital estuary]

new programming language gets invented and they already want 3 years of experience in it 👀

[worn plank]

That's actually part of the process for studying for SOC and SEC+.

I'll be making a home lab and utilizing it extensively.

[worn plank]

LMAO

That's too real.

[topaz falcon]

I can't say anything about remote. I'd even suggest to avoid them, they have too much competition that companies can't deal with it adequately enough right now

[worn plank]

Actually happens.

[scarlet nimbus]

Man, I'm memorizing every f* event id and code error

Why?

[topaz falcon]

There is a huge issue right now with both employers and especially potential hirees using AI and spamming job boards

[worn plank]

Explains a lot.

[digital estuary]

i feel like you can say you have experience as a sysadmin but at home

id love a home lab but my roommate would first be silly around it and im too broke for one atm

[worn plank]

At-home office with a staff of 1 and I am sysadmin because nobody else can be.

[topaz falcon]

There is at least in the US the huge issue of outsourcing and whatnot but not much you can do there. If you make a homelab, that's still really good experience.

[tight trout]

#551248719681683456 message

that's the announcement on the arch linux server

[celest dirge]

4624 and 4625 are common.
Every other EventID? You're just wasting time.

[digital estuary]

[worn plank]

I'm in Canada, but we have an absolutely insane, burgeoning Everything-Industry.

[celest dirge]

Just refer to the bible of Windows Event IDs

[worn plank]

All of the desirable jobs have millions of applicants.

[topaz falcon]

Oh Canada has it far worse than the US do iirc

[worn plank]

And we get new people in all of the time, so there's even more competition.

[sly ridge]

Ty ty friend

I'm buying a Beelink mini PC for $180 that I'm going to be using.

[topaz falcon]

Beelink is what I have, they're great

[tight trout]

if you have those AUR packages they are malware

[topaz falcon]

I'd replace its thermal paste though

[worn plank]

Bro no, we can only handle so many Ukrainians.

[tight trout]

RATs to be specific

[digital estuary]

niiice

[worn plank]

Beelink thermal not that great?

[topaz falcon]

My clowns have no nationalities. They swear fealty to the clown mother

Thermal is okay

[digital estuary]

once i get a proper job ill actually try to save up for a home lba

[sly ridge]

Thankfully, I do not have any of those

[topaz falcon]

Good for homelab

[digital estuary]

lab*

[tight trout]

yeah they were uploaded just today

[worn plank]

This particular rig is 32gb DDR4 ram with an AMD processor iirc. Ryzen 7 I want to say. Should be decent.

[topaz falcon]

@worn plank my suggestion is to get to work on your homelab asap, even if it to just set it up. The experience from it is invaluable. Also yeah that's a good one

I have a similar one but it's the s12 pro. 1tb ssd

[worn plank]

Ooohhh, I wish.

[topaz falcon]

I got mine on sale but no amd I think

Or maybe it does, I forgor

[worn plank]

And yeah, I'll get working on the homelab pretty quick. I need to decide on a good distro for Linux for it.

[topaz falcon]

I have to wait until I get home to work on the homelab or if I get this its student assistant spot on campus I'm getting interviewed recently for, I can afford a network for myself

[topaz falcon]

Debian, rocky, etc.

[worn plank]

A network would be cool. What's stopping you from ssh?

[rapid merlin]

same

[topaz falcon]

I also would suggest proxmox personally

[rapid merlin]

so many sexy options

paralysis by analysis

[worn plank]

What's a good one for pure blue teaming?

[topaz falcon]

I need to get home to set it up, I'm at my apartment

[sturdy lark]

It's harder to gain experience with hardware systems like storage networks and machine cabling than with setting up labs

[worn plank]

Ohhh, fair enough.

[rapid merlin]

i heard flare vm

[scarlet nimbus]

Do you think so?

[worn plank]

Flare is incredibly comprehensive.

[rapid merlin]

im more of a red teamer

[topaz falcon]

I wouldn't worry about simply only blue teaming, think of your homelab as a way to learn the fundamentals of IT too.

[rapid merlin]

but i used flare few times

[worn plank]

Kali.

[worn plank]

Solid advice.

[rapid merlin]

kali parrot or many other options that have same tools

[topaz falcon]

If you're going to set up anything for blue team, set up two vms on your homelab, a windows one and a Kali one.

But I do suggest to look into homelab services like jellyfin, settings up a VPN, etc.

[worn plank]

Yeah, I think Kali is just the most widely used and well-supported. I could be. Wrong.

[rapid merlin]

im looking for everyday use

[worn plank]

I'll take a look when I'm able.

[topaz falcon]

Kali is not a good distro for everyday use

[uneven nexus]

flare is great but its not focused for red team exactly

[tepid vault]

hey guys, does anyone know where I can find any notes regarding the rooms in tryhackme, like if I finished a room and i didnt take notes is there anywhere that might have notes?

[worn plank]

Everyday use? Debian would be a good distro to go with, unless you're not familiar with Linux, then Mint is good.

[topaz falcon]

You could but I would not suggest it, if we're talking general use

[rapid merlin]

he is blueteam

[rapid merlin]

i like ubuntu aswell

[topaz falcon]

Fedora, Linux mint, Ubuntu and many more are good for everyday use

[rapid merlin]

too many to choosep

[topaz falcon]

Do you want stable or cutting edge or in between

[tight trout]

boo ubuntu

[worn plank]

I'd check out other people's setups.

See which one you like.

Or just use VMs to install them and try them

[scarlet nimbus]

@celest dirge
4740 an account was locked out
4768 a Tgt ticket was request (exploit esc3)

what happened to senators hairline 💀

[dark mason]

There was a dude passing me and my group And we heard him speak in broken English
"I have sold my wife for the wifi for play Counter strike"
"Me play 300 hour"

[topaz falcon]

Obviously not enough hours

[tight trout]

snaps are stupid

[rapid merlin]

what u recommend playa!

[topaz falcon]

@rapid merlin again, stable, cutting edge or in between

[rapid merlin]

idk

something like attackbox and everyday ise

[tight trout]

debian, mint, fedora

[topaz falcon]

If you're new to Linux, those three are fine.

[tight trout]

parrot home edition is closest

[topaz falcon]

I would not use anything like Kali or an attack box as an everyday use

[scarlet nimbus]

You know what's stupid? Vectra Cognito

[rapid merlin]

i was thinking this

[tight trout]

not security edition, home edition

jsyk

[worn plank]

There's some inherent danger in using Kali for every day use, isn't there?

[tight trout]

it's unstable

and there's no use

[topaz falcon]

Kali just isn't meant to be used for everyday use

[tight trout]

really

[worn plank]

Makes sense.

[tight trout]

the devs say don't use it for daily use even

[rapid merlin]

damn

[uneven nexus]

you are better off just downloading the tools you need on your own favorite distro ngl a lot of the time

on a vm

[topaz falcon]

It's just a collection of tools that makes it easier to use them tbh

[uneven nexus]

its a lot of bloat

[scarlet nimbus]

This

[rapid merlin]

what even is the art of homelabbing

[topaz falcon]

Tripping on cables

[rapid merlin]

i dont see the point of homelabbing if i aint using for complex reasons

[topaz falcon]

Homelabbing teaches you the skills you need.

[rapid merlin]

i got a old old ancient macbook wonder if i can put tiny linux core to it

[topaz falcon]

Probably could

[rapid merlin]

idk i never turned it on

[celest dirge]

What I am saying is, it's too much to remember every EventID that exists.

My approach to that is taking notes.

[topaz falcon]

You should remember every eventid, requirement in clown college
