[floral ice]

trust

[primal pumice]

Yes that's crazy I am trying to complete this paths for months and now seeing it won't be completed

[floral ice]

I still havent done the 101 path HAHAHAHA\

[marsh lark]

hmm, I will let someone on the thm team about my concerns actually because I am in contact with them

well, one of them

[worldly tide]

That sucks dude, even premium accounts cant finish pathways?

[primal pumice]

that would be great, is there any way I can reach out to them?

[marsh lark]

actually

[marsh lark]

not really, but it doesn’t seem like that big a deal

now that I think of it

[primal pumice]

Until yesterday it was allowed but now they have changed it

[worldly tide]

How?

[marsh lark]

because completing the path isn’t THAT big of a deal, but will let them know some people’s concerns

[worldly tide]

You cant get that cert though

[marsh lark]

the cert ain’t that important

but will let them know

[primal pumice]

I won't that cert, not that important but still doesn't hurt to add

[marsh lark]

I’ll see what I can do, although I don’t have much leverage

[worldly tide]

Thank you:)

[honest latch]

Not so bad , you ?

[hallow jolt]

btw do you guys think uni would help on landing on cyber security job?

[floral ice]

Chocy milk

[hallow jolt]

[dark mason]

So you agree with me?

[quick blaze]

yes

[slow cloud]

what happened to discord

[quick blaze]

no blackarch left so debian

[quick blaze]

what? no

[slow cloud]

naah

[quick blaze]

they should stop making these shitty unnecessary profile updates

[digital estuary]

the OG was nicer

[knotty valve]

the activities panel doesn't break now

[digital estuary]

this one hurts my eyes

[quick blaze]

get it back to what it was

[slow cloud]

they can pump more nitro cosmetics into the page now

[digital estuary]

i didnt mind the other visual updates like the discord logo, etc but this one hurts me eye

[knotty valve]

probs

[digital estuary]

and this

[honest latch]

I am pleased to hear that

[knotty valve]

but at least it's got a bug fix in it 😂

[honest latch]

I think definitely yes

[knotty valve]

Activities would break so often with the old UI for it

[slow cloud]

if you go to dkob, the dragon only the covers the profile part not the activities part

thats sad

[quick blaze]

whats up with the rich presence plugin for tryhackms

tryhackme

how does one track that

[knotty valve]

Cause the CSS class is different

[digital estuary]

im also curious

hmmm

probably a web browser extension

[knotty valve]

afaik browser extensions can't

Especially on chrome

[digital estuary]

oh

[slow cloud]

[honest latch]

Of course, I was exaggerating a bit when I said 20 hours 😄

[copper phoenix]

You should start from pre security and follow the learning paths

what is sancation

[rapid merlin]

U just won't go down, they take ur whole bloodline

yeah ig

they have their own wifi

iirc they barely have internet

man it must be so peacful there

hi timo 🙂

[brisk ore]

I just woke up to my draft PR having 20+ comments

Gonna be a long day lads 😭

how are yoou

[brisk ore]

Least I'm rich now seeing it's payday

[slow cloud]

i might continue configuring i3 today

[honest latch]

@fast smelt Hello real INISPECTRO, how are you? 😁

[brisk ore]

I need to get back onto a tiling DE

[marsh lark]

good, u?

[slow cloud]

pretty good, bored

[marsh lark]

lol

[molten tartan]

maybe just small fixes😓

[slow cloud]

i want a project or something at work

[marsh lark]

just finished a fun class

[brisk ore]

Quite a lot of it is but a lot of it is refactoring code that I didn't even write but came as collateral for integrating it 😭

[brisk ore]

Tbf I'm finishing up my first proper user story of my internship

[honest latch]

Getting rejected by someone really affects you badly, it's been a month and I still can't forget her.

[molten tartan]

haha oh

[slow cloud]

my "project" last time was installing and configuring openCTI, it keeps you busy

[slow cloud]

whats a user story

[brisk ore]

Agile terminology for an assignment that you do

It gets assigned a certain amount of story points that estimates how long it will take (top 3 biggest lies in human history btw)

[slow cloud]

not too familiar with agile, scrum and such

[molten tartan]

I got only one story for the sprint left and thats choosing a library for form validation...

[molten tartan]

i mean it doesnt have a real "value ig"

[marsh lark]

new project: get DonutMaster THM business license

[slow cloud]

im getting one next month

[marsh lark]

I want one

[brisk ore]

My user story was meant to be 2 points which equates to one full working day.

This is day 4 of working on it now 😭😭

[slow cloud]

i threw puppy eyes at my manager

hehe

[brisk ore]

and I've had another software engineer tag in with me to fix unit tests breaking and other bugs

[marsh lark]

throw puppy eyes for me

[molten tartan]

normally points arent compared to days, hours or anything else no?

[brisk ore]

I mean googling it online it says story points roughly equates to how much effort it should take/how long it should take

[molten tartan]

had a two storypoint task last sprint which took me 4 days aswell

[molten tartan]

yea but you dont calculate points to time

its just a fictional value

and throughout the project you figure out how much points are worth

[brisk ore]

lol fairs, technically the story itself was completed on day 2.

But yesterday and today I'm spending fixing PR comments, writing new unit tests and fixing broken unit tests now

[molten tartan]

my CI/CD Pipeline is broken since idk when, been a eternity to fix it

[brisk ore]

I've heard that a lot from software engineers working at other companies lol

[molten tartan]

I really hate pipelines

[honest latch]

Would you like to see one of them? 😁

[brisk ore]

Yeah that's fair, always nervy to see what integration testing pulls up after you do significant changes

[honest latch]

If you are not afraid of big spiders, I can send you the video 😄

[merry canyon]

Whats better kali vm or kali os

[molten tartan]

depends

[merry canyon]

on?

[molten tartan]

you and your tasks i guess

personally wouldnt run kali wihtout a vm

[merry canyon]

There must be pros and cons to both

[honest latch]

I prefer garuda I don't know why but I love that Linux distribution so much. 😄

[merry canyon]

I understand that

My question in general is, running a whole dedicated linux or vm?

[molten tartan]

I only use kali for CTF and studying and use Pop! Os for development

[molten tartan]

tbh i dont think it matters, I run windows on my home pc because I like to play valorant (which isnt working on linux) and have a VM with kali, If I wouldnt play valorant id switch to linux on my home desktop aswell

but still wouldnt dailydrive kali

maybe sum arch distro

manjaro

or nixos

[mental fiber]

Hii

[merry canyon]

Dual boot?

[molten tartan]

wdym?

[marsh lark]

back

[molten tartan]

rn i use a vm

[merry canyon]

oh okayy

[molten tartan]

on my windows machine

[merry canyon]

fair enough

[marsh lark]

dual boot as in meaning you can boot from two OS

[honest latch]

Welcome 🍩

[molten tartan]

yea i just didnt understand in what context

[marsh lark]

hi 🙂

[marsh lark]

ahh 🙂

[worldly tide]

Windows messes up dual boot sometimes

[knotty valve]

They're the same thing

[merry canyon]

I meant running linux as an OS or in a vm

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/wazzup-gif-25996981

[knotty valve]

For isolation and security reasons, it's recommended to keep Kali in a VM

[merry canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/whats-up-wazzup-scary-movie-scream-gif-16474707

[marsh lark]

technically dual boot is better

[merry canyon]

Ahan

[knotty valve]

Not really

[marsh lark]

because it allows GPU integration

[knotty valve]

Too many issues

[marsh lark]

huh

[merry canyon]

so we know kali is recommended to be isolated, what linux doesnt need to be isolated any idea?

[rain saffron]

sup

[knotty valve]

And you can integrate GPUs with VMs

[marsh lark]

yes, but isn't it difficult to do so?

oh no

chickenman is typing

[polar spoke]

imo, i wouldn't bother with GPUs and kali anyways

[merry canyon]

and should i speed run linux basics or it will help in long run?

[knotty valve]

Any non-pen test os

[marsh lark]

😭

[polar spoke]

you can do it

[knotty valve]

Never gonna need one tbh

[honest latch]

Are you interested in ants? (In real life)

[polar spoke]

just no real reason to bother, kali is too fragile to be mucking with the runtimes

[knotty valve]

And if you're attempting to burn through hashes there's better ways to do things

[marsh lark]

true

maybe with arch

[merry canyon]

Like?

[polar spoke]

yeah, any other OS lmao

[knotty valve]

Cracking and brute force is last resort

[marsh lark]

how bout arch

[knotty valve]

Like absolute last resort

[marsh lark]

is that fine?

[merry canyon]

ahan

[polar spoke]

i wouldnt go that far

[polar spoke]

yeah arch seems to work ok with most of the runtimes

[marsh lark]

got it

[knotty valve]

Social engineering for the password is easier

[marsh lark]

gonna create a arch vm anyway

[knotty valve]

And quicker generally

[polar spoke]

can't SE the password to a hash in the vast majority of cases

maybe like, a windows login or such, but not something you coerce or come across in a db or similar

[knotty valve]

Yeah but i can get them to install a malware and capture their password through keystrokes

And yoink SSH keys

[marsh lark]

lol

I aint downloading malware

[polar spoke]

yeah that's... not really common enough to be useful imo

[marsh lark]

btw, how do you use your hash identifier in hashcat?

[polar spoke]

more than likely you'll run into password hashes or encrypted vaults/files/etc. on a normal engagement

[polar spoke]

there's a few ways

./hashcat --identify [hash] is the most direct

[marsh lark]

got it 🙂

[merry canyon]

How do we get into malware development? Is it on thm?

[knotty valve]

Who said this was an engagement /j

[merry canyon]

And what language can we master or languages?

[rapid merlin]

We can identify any hash?

[polar spoke]

i mean, within reason

[knotty valve]

Yesnt

[marsh lark]

why do you wanna develop malware?

[merry canyon]

Is it not part of pen testing?

[craggy mango]

Hi rizzler

[knotty valve]

Not really

[merry canyon]

wazzzzapppppp

[marsh lark]

uhhh

I don't believe so

[knotty valve]

That's more red team's exploitation teams

[marsh lark]

ok, yeah, that is a reason

[merry canyon]

is it something we specialise in later down the path or something?

[polar spoke]

and even then, bespoke malware is uncommon on red teams

[craggy mango]

Go study :3

[marsh lark]

true

[rapid merlin]

Wouldn't it help in future

[merry canyon]

Sheesh im on my way home

Home

[knotty valve]

We have some shitty clone of medusa that we use in engagements

[merry canyon]

and then ill study

[marsh lark]

I mean, not in many situations

[knotty valve]

[rapid merlin]

Oh

[craggy mango]

Aight

[knotty valve]

By shitty I mean it's Hella detectable

[merry canyon]

So malware and its development is unethical?

[marsh lark]

not really

[knotty valve]

In aus? Yes

[polar spoke]

well, that's a hard line to draw

[merry canyon]

and learning?

[marsh lark]

it differs in use case

[polar spoke]

but to be fair, in THM context, it's a topic for not this channel regardless

[craggy mango]

I remember this discussion

[marsh lark]

but most of the time

unethical

[knotty valve]

Iirc our computer misconduct states we can't develop or distribute malware

[marsh lark]

true

[polar spoke]

iirc maldev discussions and similar happen in the Advanced channels only

[knotty valve]

Exemptions being where federal or military engagements are necessary

[knotty valve]

Yah

[merry canyon]

Oh okay my bad

[marsh lark]

#advanced-general #advanced-help

[merry canyon]

No maldev discussion

[marsh lark]

@merry canyon

[merry canyon]

Just wanted to know if it’s something ine shluld learn or not

[knotty valve]

Not really tbh

[craggy mango]

No access how do you get access

[knotty valve]

Unless you're going more forensics and want to know how to dissect malware better or identify it better

[marsh lark]

for now, either you have certs or at least 0xD

[craggy mango]

Aight thanks donut

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @marsh lark (current: #34 - 302)

[merry canyon]

Thats when it is allowed to learn to develop or manipulate etc?

[worldly tide]

Uhhhhhhh

[marsh lark]

no problem 🙂

[marsh lark]

ants are cool

[knotty valve]

I've only used a "malware" once in an engagement and that's cause it was in our scope to do so

[worldly tide]

Yes 🙂 they work as a team which is nice.

[knotty valve]

I'll check with my law lecturer next week™

[merry canyon]

Yes please

that’ll be perfect

[knotty valve]

God bless her

She used to work as a lawyer 🤣

[honest latch]

I feed them at my home 😁

[knotty valve]

Lovely lady

[merry canyon]

I want to learn all aspects of cybersecurity.

[marsh lark]

do you have an ant colony?

[merry canyon]

Is she working as a cybersec now?

[marsh lark]

cool 🙂

[craggy mango]

Same rizz

[honest latch]

Yep

[marsh lark]

[merry canyon]

Duck you ranked uo?

[honest latch]

Also spiders , lizards

[marsh lark]

ooooooooo

[honest latch]

Messor

[knotty valve]

Nah she's now a lecturer for various law classes

[merry canyon]

I wanted to do law but just not a book person

more of a handson

[marsh lark]

send a picture

[honest latch]

Are you afraid of big spiders?

[merry canyon]

like software development etc

[craggy mango]

Yeah why?

[marsh lark]

partially

[merry canyon]

Congrats

[craggy mango]

Thanks rizz

[honest latch]

I can't send a photo here, come to my dm and I'll send it there immediately.

[craggy mango]

Step by step and I will eventually get what everyone is saying

[molten tartan]

@marsh lark with 0xD you gain access to advanced channels right?

[marsh lark]

yes

[molten tartan]

alr

[marsh lark]

or have certifications

[molten tartan]

gotta grind to 0xD

xd

[polar spoke]

or have a slightly different green role 🙂

[marsh lark]

infosec dev

[polar spoke]

it's not overly common from the looks of it, but it does seem necessary to be able to help with tooling and such

[astral relic]

Yo

[astral relic]

Guys my phone starts randomly recording through out the day what shall I do

[astral relic]

Yo wsg

[broken plaza]

im collecting players and right now it's filled with beginner-level players and soon we will start doing CTFs but right now everyone just learns and discusses stuff and asks doubts

since im a noobie too 😂

[polar spoke]

what CTFs yall doin?

[craggy mango]

thats nice

[sick maple]

then I might be able to join too tho

[broken plaza]

so like 4-5 months after we will start participating in stuff

but there's one single problem

[sinful bobcat]

[sick maple]

I'm sooo close to run out of HEATH

[broken plaza]

hi 👋

[sinful bobcat]

Not beginner friendly for sure

[sick maple]

😱

[broken plaza]

yeah but i liked doing the very basic ones like Geoint and finding flags hidden in their own server lol

[sinful bobcat]

We tried it, saw it was way out of our chances and moved to a different one

[broken plaza]

as a perons who is only 29 days in. U nor anyone would expect much 🙂

[broken plaza]

ohh

which team u participated from?

[sinful bobcat]

$cr1pt_K1dd13$

[broken plaza]

ohh

[worldly tide]

I found a small issue in text formatting of a room, should i report it? The last time i sent a report no one looked at it 😦

[broken plaza]

oh wait that's a private one lol i just noticed on ur bio

[sinful bobcat]

For sure not one of our greatest positions lmao

[broken plaza]

still better than doing nothing.

🙂

hope i would be able to join u guys or make a team equivalent to urs

[sinful bobcat]

The important is to try, learn and have fun

[broken plaza]

till then imma work and enojoy

[broken plaza]

yess sirr

[deft sky]

hi

[sinful bobcat]

I always take under consideration all applications, if you want, you can send the application and I'll review it as soon as possible (after work tho)

[deft sky]

question

[broken plaza]

how can i send one but ?

[deft sky]

how are you in a group called skids that are blue & red hats

when blue is vigilante justice - often

and red hats r just counter black hats

you cant quite be both

[marsh lark]

blue team is counter black hats

[deft sky]

no?

[marsh lark]

you can

called purple team

[deft sky]

red hats aggresively attack black hats

[sinful bobcat]

The team name is $cr1pt_K1dd13$, we cover red and blue teams

[marsh lark]

huh?

[deft sky]

ohhh

gng im tired asf I may not be very smart rn

[broken plaza]

i feel the sentence is written wrong

[deft sky]

its 4:10am

[broken plaza]

sleep well 👋

gn

[sinful bobcat]

Black hats are hackers that attacks for profits, illegally
Red team is the legal team that attacks
Blue team is the legal team that defends

[deft sky]

im a former black hat

[sinful bobcat]

Red teams and blue teams are white hats

[slow cloud]

wouldnt for example a blackhat also fall under redteam?

[sinful bobcat]

Yes but red teamers do not profit illegally

[slow cloud]

oh they are restricted to white hat?

[broken plaza]

how can i send one application to you tho? 🙂

[deft sky]

#mod-application

[marsh lark]

not that one

that one is mod app

[sinful bobcat]

Hmm I'll send the url in DMs, idk if I can send links here

[broken plaza]

that's for THM ones

[slow cloud]

thats for the discord moderation team

[broken plaza]

sure

[deft sky]

oh aigh

I like how no one is questioning the 3 digits in my user

[slow cloud]

why would we?

[deft sky]

erm

nvm

[slow cloud]

plenty of people with numbers in their names

[deft sky]

yes but

[honest latch]

Hii

[slow cloud]

its not like the number 764 has any meaning to me

[deft sky]

the 3 digits symbolize a group of crime and

etc

[quick blaze]

good for you

[deft sky]

wym

[slow cloud]

i dont even wanna say what its about

but goddamn

[deft sky]

[honest latch]

I found a vitamin production company, they buy vitamins for 10 units and sell them for 28 units, if I can make a deal with pharmacies I can make the business bigger.

[sinful bobcat]

If margins are big enough you could make a great profit from that

With some effort to start but then you "only" have to organize the trades

[crude bear]

Often

[rapid merlin]

Everyday sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

[merry canyon]

[rapid merlin]

Just for safety

[marsh lark]

[marsh lark]

that is true

[rapid merlin]

From yt most basic commands

[worldly tide]

Can i update windows from terminal

[merry canyon]

Sheesh

[rapid merlin]

The && connects 2 command lines

[marsh lark]

[merry canyon]
