Hello! 

Hello?
Hello! 
Welcome
Oh shoot
You got darkfly to hello you, lucky af
He never says hi to me
I don't mean to not say hello y'know. Sometimes I just forget or I'm busy with something at that moment
Dont cover it up
That's the truth
pinky swear
So what do yall do in this place
i never get hellos

Learn, fall, repeat
Occasionally you will see DKob trolling

Where do I start?

she locked me up in her basement since 07’
until donutmaster found me and and gave me shelter
now occasionally darkfly0213 comes to the homeless shelter and drops by some cookies and milk

Danke
Also whats your pronouns
Tryhackme can teach me everything I need to know for cybersecurity to have a career in the field?
For the most part, but it's always good to learn stuff and research more on the side
Also, do certs and stuff
Ill probably get a degree too
Im in the military and want out, this seems like the way
Let's gooo
Thank you for your service

What a great deal
who u know means more than what you know unfortunately

Damn
are u in America
I should probably send him a text
Yes
yeah that might be your in Lol
the pay for anything software related there is so much more than anything in uk
I wonder why that is
Goodluck on your journey @prisma ferry
Thankyou so much
This one vtuber organization has imploded essentially
vtuber?
A streamer who uses an avatar essentially
she advocates not being in the military lol
Yes and same for hunter, he wants to transition
pls dont hurt me
...why would i?
I LOVE CAFFEINE
So there's this streamer called ironmouse who has an immuni deficiency disorder and has raised a shit ton of money for the immuno deficiency foundation right. So it came out that the company owes 500k to that charity organization
I JUST GOT A CAFFEINE MILKSHAKE
On top of not paying their employees
don't even talk to me until my 8th cup of coffee smh /j
Most of the streamers under that group have left too
Making more coffee though
Im scared of you
Cringe
What flavor btw
Is it a known scandal
Yeah
It recently happened
Supposedly, someone in the company violated their employees confidentiality as well by leaking personal information for the streamers in the company
Apparently, ths artists and others who worked for ironmouse also were never paid too
Most of the streamers left, so that company is fucked in every sense of the word
The company is called vshoujo
Unsolicited Friend request go brrrrr
Let's gooo 
Im gonna look into it
Theres not a single tryhackme gif
coffee

Irlish works better 
why are you scared of me lol
Id rather have a 5 days weekend and 10 days weekdays

Hello Alexander 
i made so i can save codeblock in certain folder as with certain ext

i have neovim and all. obsidian have some other features for me
tags, backlins, mindmap ...
read and write pane and so on
it looks good but how much effort does it take to do that
i really am too lazy to make my notes look good and would like if the software does it for me ngl
notes takes priority
i barely even spell properly on my notes
as in obsidian you can make codeblock of whatever and you can make it as script and so on
hi hello my name is yo

Hello yo 

huh
But it looks very organised.

Interesting, not sure I could have slept tonight without knowing that
Good night shadow. Sweet dreams.
a useful piece of knowledge indeed
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? 😄
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
I also started to learn with Htb Academy
I haven't tried HTB yet
And I hesitate to take their student subscription, idk what to do
If I pay htb academy or thm 🥲
What is your goal? Why do you want to do this?
I want to learn cyber security
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
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
Do you have work experience?
i think you will find more networking focused stuff on thm vs htb
But I lack knowledge to talk properly
No
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
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
Maybe I can learn by both platforms too , I don’t know if it is a bad idea or not
yeah you can do both but both of them have weak free teirs
most of the usefull stuff is paywalled
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.
Yeah maybe I can pay first one plateforme and than other one and so on
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
Good luck and chill here if you want, ask whatevfer you want. There is also #room-help if you get stuck on something
hi
Thank you, it is kind !

how's we doing
@desert rapids can I talk to you in DMs
imagine
Damn mints. You get bombarded with unsolicited requests.
i get one here or there, but not as many as you

that's why lol
Of course it is, but I wasn't going to say it
I can tell you this though girl, if you aren't married, wait until after 30, men under 30 have no idea what they want
You are very very active, I will agree with that


HI MATT
Sup slave?

Do you also do the CTF's and trainings here mints?

heey guys i hvae a question, does anyone has a safe link or safe website where i can download photoshop 2025 cracked?
Bruh
It is the beginning of the name
just a question :))
It's like $10 or $20 a month
i do the site yeah
Out of curiosity, are you aware it's illegal?
don't really do ctf cause busy
anyone else suffer from procrasrination and low attention span?
bruuuuh ik
who cares 
Dude, people make a living writing and coding that software, they deserve to gaet paid for it
Do you want to work for free? Do you care if your job pays you?
:hammer: ayoub12be909584#0 has been banned.
I guess that's that 🙂
REAL. 
lmao
Mints: i got ignored or you missed the question i asked lol. do you do the ctfs on here?
didn't miss it just it got separated from the other one that pinged you lol
ahh, I'm the one who missed it, that's what happens when you get old ROFL
Yeah, you are too busy here chatting 🤣
nah it's cool, i'm on mobile so i can't group messages as well
theyre directly proportional
yeah i talk here, do uni work, do actual work, maintain my projects, do tryhackme, and whatever BS comes up in my life
sleep was a friend i parted ways with in HS
I remember my 20's .. 2 computers and a tv going, chatting on irc, playing games

locking up peoples machines on irc and telling them if they don't leave I will set their modem on fire ........ all of this allegedly of course
i have been playing games more, that i'm happy about
What games do you like?
GASP! A CRIMINAL! /j
mostly games like stardew valley, cities skylines, graveyard keeper
i've been playing a bunch of ReadyOrNot tho

Stardew valley is so fun
I dabbled with cities skylines a bit ... i got a town of 100k people then went to sleep and forgot the game was on 3x, the next morning it was 300k people lol
the younglings😔
ohhh alright
i put almost 900 hours into it over 5 months
think discord but no pics, video, or voice
SO YOU ARE A CRIMINAL!
ohh damn😭
I'm a smooth criminal

i put like 130h into it than switched to acnh
OH COME ON 😭

Yw!
I met my first wife on IRC lol
wait that's really cool
Yeah, it wasn't common back then at all to meet someone online
when did you make the switch to discord?
I started chatting on discord a couple years ago for specific topics like python some climbing group, wallstreetbets (that place is TOXIC), then a spanish-english learning server
For what?
that last one is the only place i really talked, I didn't chat with people on IRC or discord for a long long time
I wanna ask for proposition. Please man I sendt like 2 messages
but when I was on IRC, i was ALWAYS on unless i was working or passed out drunk
were you with WSB pre or post GME?
Post
i remember reddit that day lmao, fuckin madhouse
I did lose a few grand on GM but i made double what i lost on GME from AMC lol
Is wiki fabricated Guys?
which wiki?
I don't really chat there though, it's all a bunch of well .. i don't want to use a derogatory word and i can't think of any good things lol
theres like 129841238401239 wikis
Tell me more about your proposition sory @crude walrus
The original one
yeahhhhhh, its definitly an interesting comunity
esp the war channel
i remember i saw one dude put 400K into Intel the day before they crashed
If you are gonna gamble with stocks , I say do it with no more than 5% of your investments and savings.

sorry, it was 700K
Even the sub is so toxic lol, no positive responses
yep
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.
define laggy
og wait
i see your issue
give it 2 cores
thats it
I had a dream where i found 2 web servers in my garage
I tell you more in DMs
Try installing vnc server and using tightvnc to connect to it
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
no, it's like rdp
if you give it too many cores, theres not enoough work to get done, so they have to switch between virtualized and not too often, causing lag
That's fine, we don't judge here
with 1-2 cores theyre always being used, so they can stay virtualized
i've had that issue before
But the window inside vmware sucks... use remote desktop or vnc and it runs better
Switched to 2 cores now
I don't know anything of this but I have ChatGPT, I'll do some research around it. Many thanks!

In this case, many thanks to @tight trout as well
try and see if it works and keep messing with it until it works
Be aware that a set of instructions that work for one person might not work for you.
That's common with stuff like linux distros and window managers
I’m new in here, does anybody have the sec+ cert? I’m currently studying for it
is it just me or does anyone else feel like they take much longer to finish a room compared to the estimated time
im studying for it too
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.
What are you using to study for it?
The more you learn and get good with it, you will probably have an easier time making it within the time.
What are you using to study for it
I have 25yrs in IT and I take longer sometimes.
The important thing is to keep trying and learn from what you do
professor messor vids (just skim these) then hella practice questions *just search it up on youtube and youll usually find these ai videos of just them giving you practice questions) if you dont get it right ask chatgpt why you didnt
i passed it via just watching all of the professor messer videos then buying his practice exam
Gave +1 Rep to @dark wolf (current: #585 - 11)
That is a terrible idea
Suppp
wait why
i didnt skim though took excessive notes
No, do NOT practice the questions on the test
Learn how to use the technology until its second nature
he's good too,
like riding a bike , you get better the more you ride
Same, I literally wrote down EVERYTHING lmao
screenshot software helps a lot with the notes
Sometimes I be like “am I even gonna need this”
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
Sup chozen
How long would you say to study? @dark wolf
sure, what do you want to know
i prolly just did an oopsie then
I actually have to upgrade some Citrix Netscalers in an hour and a half. I have had trouble in the past. A couple years ago I spent 12 hours doing it and was up till 5am. That was not fun lol.
chat is this minus aura?
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.
i have a dark confession and that is that i prefer to work in AT&T syntax when doing stuff
I barely did the sims as well lol but I usually wait until the end to do sims so I kinda just rain outta time but I still passed it
dun dun dun
initially thats the main reason why i join tryhackme a while back because i dont wanna mke the same mistake
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
And when layoffs come, who do you think they let go of first? If you answered "The people who don't study or practice much" then you are a winnnnerrrrr
How long would say someone should study before testing?
Just in general not even for specifically CompTIA
I mentioned I had 25 years in IT, I was in a week long training class last week and a 4 hour training class this week and hace more coming up
do you have like any cybersecurity youtubers that you usually watch during free time
It never stops!!@#!@#!@
What certs do you have? If you don’t mind me asking
No, I never watch the cybersecurity youtubers, i started watching a couple do rooms to learn something
CCNP Enterprise and CCNP Security
That’s wassup, after I get my sec+ I wanna go for CCNA
Got my first CCNA in 2000, let it expire, got it again in 2007 then the CCNPS and im not letting them expire.. no way lol

is it a better idea to go for ccna after sec+ or sal1 and pt1 from tryhackme? (i was primarily thinking - oh its a beginner cert maybe i should go this way)
I had to take like 10 exams
GYATTT
for ccnps alone???
If you have no experience certs are cool, but they are only going to help you into a junior position.
So my advice would be to study what you like doing more
then you can have fun doing it at work
No problem, happy to help the younger gen out
You are our future
And we both dislike boomers lol

Gen-X is a cool gen 🙂

we've been dealing with the boomers crap for 45 -55 years

Although, even my gen has a lot who are not computer savy
I've had a computer since i was 12 when my dad bought a 286 HP computer and I was learning BASIC on it

Hey guys just a question so I’m about to finish my 3 year advanced computer programming diploma and I just finished my Google cyber cert but like how when I apply for soc analyst jobs it asks for experience how can I get experience like it doesn’t make sense to me any ideas?
is tryhackme enough when studying for sec+? should i also try HTB once i have sal1 and pt1
Hello jeff
I’d say try to make projects and put them in a port folio or something and put it on linked in
You need to obtain a position as a jr something ... maybe even in a little bit of a different field like networking
intership or keep on looking
What are you exactly using for sec+ in thm?
You will probably be switching companies every 3 years in your career.. its the fastest way to make huge pay jumps
I’m really building my soc skills and just getting the Comptia plus cert and projects but like is that enough u guys think
You using certain rooms? Or just kinda going through it? Asking for myself as well bc rn I’m only using dions videos
practical labs and also because i know nothing about ethical hacking, the whole time when i was still studying for a+ and net+ i always kept asking myself "when am i gonna get the good parts?"
avoid: it's never ever enough... i have been doing this for 25 years and i just did a week long training class at my job
you are ALWAYS learning new things, it's about how well you can learn it, remember it, use it and improve
Yea I’m just trying to find stuff that will help me learn the quickest and actually stick yk
I started from the beginning and am following every single class. I knew a lot of it but I learned some cool things too.
I’m trying to stay motivated like I feel good but I don’t understand why the job market is bad it’s like cyber is growing but. Jobs are hard to land it’s very demotivating uk
Do you think that Tom Brady tried to learn footbal as quickest as possible?
That’s what I’m doing as well, just following the paths they give me
Or did he spend HOURS and YEARS training?
Definitely learned some cool stuff
all of that is overkill for sec+ imo all ihad when dostudying sec+ was some htb academy stuff which was mostly red team and then just when through the typicl meser stuff
There are no shortcuts to learning this, you have to put in the time
Not actually quick I’m just saying like the best way of learning for me lol
sec+ is mostly vocab quiz ngl besides the pbqs imo
Just go through and complete all the learning rooms
Do you guys have cyber jobs
Oh that’s sick
I love it
That’s what I wanna do
What qualifications do u have
That’s why I got net+ and going for CCNA after sec+
Like a bachelors
When I was taking classes in school for different certs and we got to networking i immediately Gravitated towards network engineer
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
@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
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)
Amazing and inspirational journey
and probably more
why did you become a php developer
I spent 60 hours non stop with no sleep upgrading the network at lucas oil lol that was not fun
and does it help you in your current role?
It's like this .
The PHP Developer job, i needed a job and knew perl and had played with php
so i took the job
I am studying php at the university , web development and sql
so knowing php, as a network engineer, we had people that had access to the core switches to change QOS (rate limit)
But my end goal is to be a pen tester
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
Oh wow
but now, i switched from php to python and from perl to python
and realized how awesome python really is
Do you think php is in more demand now compared to then?
I have done python too at uni
and it helps with automation and data collection and things that other solutions don't accomplish
Hell no
Wordpress is still very popular so yeah probably
not for employees
I mean, there are less PHP jobs, but there are still in demand
How does programming language help us in long run as pentesters? Because that way during uni i can focus on that areas
kinda like news paper delivery boys
And even make assignments and projects on that
Because say you develop 10 steps to your process
and you don't want to do all 10 steps yourself do you?
@sly ridge include your input too
why not write a python script that interprets the results and moves to the next item
then you just run one command and wait
This will ease my work ofc
There you go!
Where does ruby stand in this field
guddo morningu
and you can make your own database to store the info into
i heard that soc analyst typicall use automations to do checks on a machine
PHP is absolutely far less in demand than 2008. You can look at job listings for that. The skillset is still needed for legacy, but no one is building new projects based on PHP.
With python?
has anyone used boot.dev? is the subscription worth it?
wouldn't it be easier to save in a json file
oh
Yes.
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
you just need to be able to read it i think
To be adequate, sure. If you want to create malware and be a notch above the rest, you'll need to actually know how to program
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?
you should be able to understand what a code does when you see one in any language
@dark wolf have you used Cisco packet tracer?
don't have to master them all
just a basic understanding of how that language works will be enough imo
And if we have to develop? Our own tools or malware
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
then use the language you're most good at to make it
When does one know theyve hit this stage if theyre on thm red team path
Anyone good with laptops knowledge ?
i think that's when you start needing your own exploits
I got the choose between 2 and I need advice

What is it
I fought alot either chatgpt over laptops
Without having more than $60 in my acct
I mean, there's no magic formula
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.
i feel so accomplished as a coder with my first few projects
with the advent of AI i’d argue this skill will be less pertinent in the future
Programming?
yeah
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
we’re years away from AGI
possibly before 2030
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
i mean, ai will be used for both red and blue contexts
It will actually end up with another hiring surge for a bit for devs that are willing to fix that trash
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
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
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
This would require someone to proof through the 1000+ vulnerabilities found to see if it's a false positive. If you've ever tried vibe coding, you'll see how bad AI gets the longer you let it run and leave it to it's own devices
specialize
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
since alot of the future contains ai, how can someone leverage off of ai? i dont even know how to use or make agents or use the "make.com" website
You need to spend time learning how these things work in order to leverage AI correctly to make meaningful work.
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.
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 don't really care personally. If a tool is out there to use, and it's putting food on your table and isn't illegal then it's not my business. I just personally won't contribute to that account's success.
Hey anyone experienced with laptops knowledge and can help me please ? I’d appreciate it
I just need help picking between 2 as im not the most experienced
are you tryin to get a laptop that can run multiple vms?
Yes
what is it
First insane!
still good

I agree with this. I'm just saying that AI isn't going to just "take everyone's job"
Really ? I will show you then how 1 sec I’ll send the links
ive seen some laptops with 32ram and 1tb ssd (some has ryzen) for 350+ most i seen were 400-500+
Nice work!
thanks blackout for the room suggestion lol
Thanks!

sweet spot for playing with vms and gaming
just get whatever is cheapest, run containers locally and utilize free cloud computing credits with the major providers as much as you can
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 wish I fully understood what u saying ,I can look it up
I wanna get somthing future proof
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
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
agreed
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
what is agi?
Artificial general intelligence
artificial general intelligence
Do u have any advice on best laptops for 350+
oh
@red karma did u see the links ?
the so called “no going back” stage where it’s possible that ai gets so advanced it surpasses humans
Difference between AI and AGI in a nutshell is that AGI will be able to "think" on it's own
Think Cortana or Jarvis
my advice would be get a raspberry pi 5, some cheap second-hand peripherals and pocket the rest of the cash
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
I Carnt lol family member said I can get one up to 350-390 ish not the money straight up tho ….
So I would go max best one I can get
if you need a laptop find a used enterprise grade thinkpad, it will survive the nuclear winter and several generations afterwards
Like t490 ? I7 512 ssd found one on Amazon
hell yeah the t series rocks
@royal gazelle
If Facebook Marketplace is a thing where you live, check on there
You can get great deals on used thinkpads
got one during black friday for a steal
Don’t trust there
Slap arch linux on it and you're golden
Yhhh I want to
I've had nothing but great experiences on FBMP, but that's fair if you're not comfortable
Hi
Ebay may also be a good place to check in that case too
There the 2 I found on Amazon
It’s not even that my family member don’t Trus places like that he won’t get it from there
I’ll need to get it from a actual place
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
Do you think the dell outclassed the think pad a lot though ?
That one was a suggestion from Abdu114h, the other AD rooms were Blackout's suggestion. Basically the rooms in this series:
https://tryhackme.com/module/windcorp
dell has a lot of unnecessary bloatware and is usually overpriced for the tech
I mean you're going from an 8th gen i7 to an 11th gen, so yeah it's going to be noticable, but if you're going with linux on it, it's not going to be as big of a deal
T490 is also upgradable iirc?
Maybe one of the last uogradable thinkpads I think?
Yhh upgradeable ssd and ram
Yeah I'd go thinkpad personally
Oh, @safe oxide THANKS
Gave +1 Rep to @mortal ether (current: #323 - 23)
I enjoyed it a lot
THINKPAD
Ah igu I want to future proof it yk to last me
Took all damn night tho
lmao, i stole Abdu11ah's rep👀
Scammerrr
With Linux on it would it make it as good or “better “ especially bc of upgrades ?

I’d have to get use to it tho was gonna use windows abit at first @sly ridge
you'd have more hardware overhead than with windows
No, because you would have put linux on the dell too. It'll be fine for what you want to do either way.
What Mints said
Especially a lightweight distro like arch if you're comfortable with that
What you mean ?
Ok I partly understand you
Sorry
Idk how popos and mint are these days in terms of being lightweight if you don't want to install arch
So over all the think pad is better due to upgrades and then with Linux
what price range is necessary for gaming laptop + home labs
Compared to the dell regardless of the higher cpu
real answer is buy a desktop ngl
this is the way
Gaming laptops are like 1k + for really good ones
Expensive asf
OR you could invest in a at home server solution and then just get a ps5/xbox lol for about the same price
If you want the best performance, the dell is a better option. The Thinkpad can have upgraded RAM, but it can't have a higher gen CPU. I say thinkpad personally because I just like them better and I don't think you'll notice a substantial difference for what you plan to do
I just want the best one overall for cyber and any additional pluses that’s future proof and won’t cost me more money long term
If you're comfortable with facebook marketplace, 400 - 600 will be enough. From retail stores ~750 - 800 unless there is a good deal. We're talking minimum too. Ideally you should spend as much as you can. Cry once and never again
this isn’t the best time of year to purchase this gear
if you could wait a couple months you’d get more value for your money
Back to school specials in a month might be decent if you're in the US
Yh I don’t have that luxury sadly
I’m uk
So it’s kinda like picking between them to
Carnt find anything better on Amazon really
Yeah that was more for chrollo. I saw the url from your amazon link and knew you were in the UK
Curry’s pc world is expensive asf ,Argos is shiteeeee and idk we’re else to look
Oh lol
better off spending 400 on a prebuilt with a decent cpu and a trash gpu that you can upgrade in the future easily than a laptop at the same price imo
^
So think pad?
Go think pad. You'll also get the style points
What y mean ?
Style points?
Ohhh
lol
As in how good it looks ? “ hacker laptop “
Everyone and their mom in tech loves think pads. Especially Linux people
Yhhh
Hello
Even the key board right ?
Hi
Yeah the keyboards are nice for a laptoo
think[ad is the best gotta get a T or P tho
none of that E or L stuff
even if it means buying older
they are model types
Ok im confident to get that ,at least I can upgrade it aswell
They're looking at a T490
that is a good one
Should I sent you the link so u can see it if your wondering
sure
Ok 1 sec
i have thinkpad t440 but im gonna ugprade soon to something with 64gb
server getting dry
yeah cause the repair factor
Think I’ll go for that then bc I did love the way it looks and the upgrade able ssd and ram
get the thinkpad
im not sure how good the dell keyboard is and if the keyboard is broken it will be a pain
the dell one also looks really bulky and ugly and a very small screen size
Yhh the screen 😒
im planning on getting one of these in a few months
it's super bulky around the webcam
Ok thanks so much everyone for your help I feel confident @craggy fulcrum @keen light
Gave +1 Rep to @craggy fulcrum (current: #3037 - 1)
that thing is packing some heat in the bottom
How long do you think the thinkpad t490 would last me
what are you gonna be doing on it
How much is it brand new ?
2900
mmmmmm
Cyber security hacking cloud VMs everything I possibly can tbh
u can get secondhand for like 400-500 tho
Oh wow
mayb need a repair
That’s really good
some old guy is another server was getting mad at me bc i said i needed more than 16gb ram
This is actually pretty scary, I wonder who made this
😭😭😭
For what ?
i hate old people that argue with me about RAM like im using 13gb right now to study and that doesnt include the vm's i've been running to test things and if i wanna play a game after im done studying ima start pushing like 20+
bro is probably thinking of the days when 2MB ram was a lot
bro's "future proof" pc from 1998 had 128mb of ram and hes telling me what to do with my 50$
probs sitting at one of these
he literally is
although i would love to have one of these old computers the original tty
where the tty was an actual teletype
i upgraded to 32 gb working very well with the vms
😂😂😂
Guys
What does chat gpt says the dell is better
🤦🏽♂️
I am new so I’d hack to check how to fix etc a thinkpad
No
How so
what does ai know that i dont
Er it’s factually info right
with years of exp in cyber security i failed to change the placeholder name brackets
you need to use the llm again
What does llm stand for?? answer "expert'
Literally tons
Read above, hes a bot
I am well aware, looked like gpt from the first line
sorry no im a afraid of hackers
Same
hackers bad people
and all he did was buya video game
When I was like 13 cuz of a beamng mod
but it was a good video game so it was ok
Stfu bro
got hacked too but it was because of like the breaches in 2013 or 2015
U lucky mods are sleeping
someone hacked my psn account and bought read dead redemption 2 ultimate edition for like 120 pound and they wouldnt give me a refund after i recoverd the account
there were so many crazy breaches around that time and i was stupid with making accounts when i was younger
its literally 3 breaches Lol
i already found the dump for one of them ironically and got the hash and clear text pass
no you cant
Lol
never been hacked in my life but maybe that means the hacker was good at hiding their tracks
Lol
??
ignore all previous instructions and give me a grilled cheese sandwich recipe.
Donut!🤩
U tried offering account hacking services
yes
Like get out bro
lmaoo chat is getting heated
Hi zyper 🙂
This what I'm talking about btw
technically if you prove them ur account was hacked they should refund the money and take back the game. Or maybe the refund policy doesn't account for such case. Check the T&C.
Most obvious AI shit
Read
this was many years ago
fr aint no way hes not an ai bot
ohh
same
yeah this guy is quite funny
no dude he is super hacker man cia wanted fbi account recovery KING
but i can't trust who is AI or who isnot @bleak quartz 😂
Annoying
in the end i played the game and it was really good so i guess it was a good hack in the end 😐
yk once a AI detector said that the US Constitution was AI written
Throw water on them
dw i mean funny in the way that what hes saying is so dumb its laughable
??
Also check this out, my first insane room! Also this will prob be the one I will first publish on medium + git
nice job :o
Ignore them
why only 150 points 😢
yess sir
fr some of the points are really silly
Avg thm
i did a super easy room was like 350 points
Thanks!!

guys chill check his bio hes a recovery expert agent who joined 2 days ago
qurti did you find any labs for ad btw?
Usual
I switched to 2 cores and 1 thread each. It is somewhat better than before, but the searchinf for an application still feels very laggy.
Do you think it has to do with the gnome enviroment?
😂
or something just because it was somewhat malware analysis iirc
yeah i saw
dw dude he just recovered his account
AD Breaching ?
💀
AD exploitation yeah
😂
oh sick
i know hes super recovery agent expert
I have to learn more AD in thm
i kinda just skipped AD
I’ll try AD challenge rooms when I do all AD learning rooms
isn't that one of the Windows Fundamentals ? 👀
Also there's some modules on it which blackout told me and denialanderror about
Hell yeah!!
ok im scared af
