Supposedly, someone in the company violated their employees confidentiality as well by leaking personal information for the streamers in the company

Congratulations on completing Digital Forensics Fundamentals!!! 🎉

woo hoo 77% done with cyber security 101... almost 3 weeks into this

#

Hello everybody, free rooms are enough to learn or not please? 😄

dark wolf
#

No, they are not, you will have to pay for a membership to take full advantage of it.

#

If you are doing this for fun, then it's really up to you. If you are serious about learning Cyber Security, there are not a lot of sites that offer content like this that gives you a chance to interact with VMs and get hands on practice.

#

So if you want to work in the field, you won't find a cheaper course than this

fading jewel
#

I also started to learn with Htb Academy

dark wolf
#

I haven't tried HTB yet

fading jewel
#

And I hesitate to take their student subscription, idk what to do

#

If I pay htb academy or thm 🥲

dark wolf
#

What is your goal? Why do you want to do this?

fading jewel
#

I want to learn cyber security

uneven nexus
#

what in cybersecurity

#

theres like a million roles

dark wolf
#

I just wanted to play CTF's and learn everything possible that I would need to get great at them.

#

I didn't even find out about HTB until after I got a subscription to this

#

Still haven't even gone to their site lol

fading jewel
#

Precisely I don’t know since I started only now, but I am interested by networks. I am going to do a master degree this September in networks (bcz I could not find an apprenticeship in cybersecurity to do cybersecurity master)

#

Cyber threat intelligence / forensic interest me a lot too

dark wolf
#

Do you have work experience?

uneven nexus
#

i think you will find more networking focused stuff on thm vs htb

fading jewel
#

But I lack knowledge to talk properly

fading jewel
uneven nexus
#

there are wireshark tcpdump snort and etc rooms

#

and challenges

fading jewel
#

Ohhh okay thank you so much

#

I will wait until Black Friday to get the discount and take it, for now I will learn a lot from free rooms and htb academy free courses

uneven nexus
#

check the soc level 1 path for the rooms they have before buying a sub and see what you like for your interest

#

they have quite a few on networking

fading jewel
#

Maybe I can learn by both platforms too , I don’t know if it is a bad idea or not

uneven nexus
#

yeah you can do both but both of them have weak free teirs

#

most of the usefull stuff is paywalled

dark wolf
#

Personally, I would say go through one training at a time. There are a lot of learning paths on here, but they build on each other.

#

So if you don't go in order, you can spend more time trying to figure things out.

fading jewel
dark wolf
#

If you hop back and forth, it could get tedious and boring or still leave you unsure, and you probably don't want to pay for both

#

If you pay for a year on this, you won't finish everything in a year

#

There is plenty of content to last and things to learn and challenges to do

fading jewel
#

Yes it is true !!

#

Okay thank you so much, I will see !!

dark wolf

Good luck and chill here if you want, ask whatevfer you want. There is also #room-help if you get stuck on something

Hello guys, my Kali Linux in VMWare Workstation Pro is very laggy, what can I do?

My hardware specs are Ryzen 5 7600x, B650 Motherboard, RTX 4060 and 32GB 6000hz CL30RAM. I have allotted 6 cores, total GPU, 16GB RAM and 120GB Disk Space from 1TB NvME SSD.

# tight trout define laggy

When I try to search something in the OS, let's say Terminal, it is taking a while to show what I typed in the search bar

dark wolf

I can't stand using the one inside vmware

it works much better with vnc

spring tendon

VNC is like another VM software?

#

Sorry, I'm complete noob

dark wolf
#

no, it's like rdp

tight trout
dark wolf
#

That's fine, we don't judge here

tight trout
#

with 1-2 cores theyre always being used, so they can stay virtualized

#

i've had that issue before

dark wolf

But the window inside vmware sucks... use remote desktop or vnc and it runs better

Switched to 2 cores now

is it just me or does anyone else feel like they take much longer to finish a room compared to the estimated time

It depends on the circumstances. If you get distracted, it can take much longer.

If you go down the wrong rabbit hole you can take longer.

The more you learn and get good with it, you will probably have an easier time making it within the time.

wispy current
#

Sometimes I be like “am I even gonna need this”

dark wolf
#

or any activity, once you keep doing it and learn it, you then do it easier because your brain can access it quick

#

when you are learning, it's hard, it sucks, your brain has to do work, it wants the other side of the brain to just pull it up how to do it quick.

#

but you need to practice and learn in order to train the other side of your brain to pull it up quick

#

The more you put into it, the more you get out and at that point the test will be a lot easier

@dark wolf hi

Here is the thing Chrollo, when you get a job you want to do well and better than others. If you get a cert by just trying to find the answers, what good will that do you when you do get the job? It won't ... you'll fail and get frustrated.

everything you do in life comes down to how much effort and time you put into learning and practicing things, baseball, hockey, dancing, coding, networking, firewalls, security, telephony, welding, carpentry

You need to obtain a position as a jr something ... maybe even in a little bit of a different field like networking

you can use that experience to transfer after a few years

Do you guys have cyber jobs

dark wolf

Make sure you understand the room and what it teaches you

Im a network engineer

wispy current

How is that job?

Oh that’s sick

dark wolf

I love it

wispy current

That’s what I wanna do

pure vortex

What qualifications do u have

wispy current

That’s why I got net+ and going for CCNA after sec+

pure vortex
#

Like a bachelors

wispy current
#

When I was taking classes in school for different certs and we got to networking i immediately Gravitated towards network engineer

dark wolf
#

I started as a Jr. Systems Admin, then Linux Administrator for a email spam protection company, then i moved from san diego to vegas and got a job as a php developer for a company sending out spam, then network engineer and have been since

wispy current

That’s dope fr 🦾

@dark wolf is a year long class based internship (like just 45 min a day for 5/7) any worth mentioning to potential employers? it was called tech support internship and we did help desk rotations, ticketing systems, fixing chromebooks/replacing components

dark wolf
#

Yeah, it's pretty interesting going from the light side to the dark side lol that company was shady though

#

But as a network engineer, I've worked with Firewalls, Voice over IP, Wireless (for convention centers), Core Network switches, upgrading the network at lucals oil stadium, exchange a bit, perl, python (for life)

merry canyon
dark wolf
#

and probably more

merry canyon
#

why did you become a php developer

dark wolf
#

I spent 60 hours non stop with no sleep upgrading the network at lucas oil lol that was not fun

merry canyon
#

and does it help you in your current role?

dark wolf
#

The PHP Developer job, i needed a job and knew perl and had played with php

#

so i took the job

merry canyon
#

I am studying php at the university , web development and sql

dark wolf
#

so knowing php, as a network engineer, we had people that had access to the core switches to change QOS (rate limit)

merry canyon
#

But my end goal is to be a pen tester

dark wolf
#

and we wanted to take it away , so i wrote a php page so they could login and select what rate limit they want on what interface and my perl script would push the config

#

this was in 2008

merry canyon
#

Oh wow

dark wolf
#

but now, i switched from php to python and from perl to python

#

and realized how awesome python really is

merry canyon
#

Do you think php is in more demand now compared to then?

#

I have done python too at uni

dark wolf
#

and it helps with automation and data collection and things that other solutions don't accomplish

dark wolf
#

not for employees

#

I mean, there are less PHP jobs, but there are still in demand

merry canyon
#

How does programming language help us in long run as pentesters? Because that way during uni i can focus on that areas

dark wolf
#

kinda like news paper delivery boys

merry canyon
dark wolf
#

Because say you develop 10 steps to your process

#

and you don't want to do all 10 steps yourself do you?

merry canyon
#

@sly ridge include your input too

dark wolf
#

why not write a python script that interprets the results and moves to the next item

#

then you just run one command and wait

dark wolf
#

There you go!

gusty inlet

sly ridge
#

As for why you would want to know how to program as a pentester, you will never understand the how and the why a tool works or how the vulnerabilities exist in the first place without diving into programming

uneven nexus
#

you just need to be able to read it i think

sly ridge
merry canyon
#

That does answer my question Indica, but could you elaborate? Do i need to know all languages? Do i specialise in one only? Or do i specialise in one and know some others?

sick maple
wispy current
#

@dark wolf have you used Cisco packet tracer?

sick maple
#

don't have to master them all

#

just a basic understanding of how that language works will be enough imo

merry canyon
#

And if we have to develop? Our own tools or malware

sly ridge
#

That depends on how far you want to dive in. If your goal is to be the best of the best, you'll want to know Python, C++, C, and some assembly. You can still be a good pen tester without these things, but it absolutely makes a difference if you hvae the skillset

sly ridge
#

You just pick up skills and use them as you see fit or are comfortable doing

#

There are two schools of thought with experienced people in the field that I've talked to. There are people who think you only need to learn programming enough to the point where you can read and understand code, and there are others who think you should learn how to code before you even start hacking. Neither approach is wrong.

craggy fulcrum

i feel so accomplished as a coder with my first few projects

If AI were actually a real thing, then sure.

#

The "AI" you use is just an LLM

#

It only works off of the data provided

fresh gyro
#

possibly before 2030

sly ridge
#

The amount of trash code that is going to be implemented within the next couple of years is going to be astounding

#

Vulnerabilities going unpatched out the ass

fresh gyro
#

i mean, ai will be used for both red and blue contexts

sly ridge
#

It will actually end up with another hiring surge for a bit for devs that are willing to fix that trash

fresh gyro
#

perhaps. ai technology will be the worst in terms of performance today. it will exponentially improve at a rate that will outpace the best humans at any specific skill set

sly ridge
#

AI can't replace blue team, and certainly can't handle explaining a post pen test report to non technical users.

#

You need people to relay what's going on to management in a way they will understand

#

I'm not an AI detractor either, but it has it's use cases and it needs to be done very very specifically

red karma
#

if enough data is provided and trained enough could ai possibly automate most blue/red team tasks? i saw a post once talking about how an ai was left running for 8 months for the purpose of bug bounty hunting and over the course of those 8 months it found 1000+ vulnerabilities; 50% of which were labeled critical and they said that they never touched the agent from the initial start

#

how can someone protect theyre value againsts ai automations or ai agents

sly ridge
sly ridge
#

I'm not even an AI detractor, I'm just being realistic to what AI currently is. There is a lot of corporate propaganda out there and you can't listen to everything said like it's the gospel

red karma
sly ridge
#

And you need to really understand the things you're automating with AI

#

Otherwise you won't even know if there is a problem until it's a major problem.

red karma
#

what are your thoughts on social media accounts that automate posts (like the brainrot ones) and finding out they make passing income because the people just let it run for days to weeks without touching it

#

the primary reason i wanna learn ai and automation is to literally just do this or something similar but alas im the type of person that is very lazy and procrastinates on assignments

I have been struggling to kinda pick the perfect laptop in general so if u know any or anything I’d appreciate it lol

I wanna get somthing future proof

sly ridge

I think the bigger moral issue is the insane amount of unemployment AI has already contributed to. Corporate greed has no bounds no matter where you are. There definitely needs to be some open sourced oversight over AGI/AI

loud orbit
#

Someone is offering to buy it family member but that’s the budget of around 350 maybe can push it to 390 ish but no more then thag

containers will save resources locally - most people really only need containers for labs, utilizing cloud will offload resources completely and you can usually get a fair amount of free credits

If your budget is 350, you should look at the used market imo. That's a pretty small budget for a laptop that you plan on running homelab stuff on

loud orbit

So I would go max best one I can get

royal gazelle

if you need a laptop find a used enterprise grade thinkpad, it will survive the nuclear winter and several generations afterwards

I'd go with the thinkpad over the dell even though the cpu on the dell is better. I also just personally hate dell computers

what price range is necessary for gaming laptop + home labs

Compared to the dell regardless of the higher cpu
