shadow has 0 chance of getting a gun in sweden
reason being shadow does not wanna file the paperwork to get a hobbiest license to own guns

[grizzled sky]

its less that virtualization can't be hacked any more than a firewall can or can't be hacked doesn't mean we give up on firewalls;

[pallid lotus]

Would shadow be allowed a license anyway?

[grizzled sky]

https://tenor.com/view/onions-have-layers-gif-7154017276425979182

[sand trench]

no idea as not applied for it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[keen light]

yeah always best to half multiple of layers of defense its a problem tho when people act like its a solution to all security problems

[sand trench]

sure shadow could go out and read the requirements but why would they bother if they don't wanna own any guns

[pallid lotus]

Yeah, just made a Google search that probably put me on a list somewhere, but I'd put money on you not being allowed a license regardless.

[pallid lotus]

So that's probably a good thing

[sand trench]

haha yeah fun lists

[keen light]

list

[sand trench]

find the needle in the haystack by shoveling more hay on top

[pallid lotus]

Eh?

Is that some equivalent saying to "when in a hole, stop digging"?

[sand trench]

if they keep adding people to lists that is more or less what they are doing unless their automated systems correlate between lists

[grizzled sky]

hot take but deescalation is extremely underrated compared to gun training;

plus deescalation is the hacking of self defense;

[sand trench]

more or less but it explains what those lists are doing by keeping to add more and more people onto the list

[grizzled sky]

you win every fight you avoid being in;

[boreal scarab]

Welcome to NJ!

I need to get the fuck outta here

[pallid lotus]

Even hotter take (for America... everywhere else it's just common sense): you don't need to de-escalate a gun threat at all if no one has guns smh

[boreal scarab]

Ooooh, we on gun talk

[grizzled sky]

we've long past that world though;

[keen light]

We need more armed police in the uk

[tight trout]

oh no

[grizzled sky]

we literally have 3d printers capable of making 3d printers capable of making guns;

[boreal scarab]

5.56 go BRRRRRRRRRRRT

[grizzled sky]

there's no world where guns will ever be entirely gone from a population;

[pallid lotus]

Sure, in the states. Treat gun ownership as a felony and you'll find that the guns which are (inevitably) on the streets, at the very least stay very well hidden.

[grizzled sky]

we can absolutely create good regulations on gun ownershipn and that has proven reduction. banning does not;

[tight trout]

if you do that the country burns

[grizzled sky]

and no japan is not a realistic comparison;

[pallid lotus]

We have armed police in the UK. They just don't wander around waving firearms for no reason.

[craggy fulcrum]

are you "tipsy" right now matt

[grizzled sky]

there's so many cultural reasons that make north america different from japan that its a irrelevant comparison;

[pallid lotus]

Oh, you said more. Why do we need more?

[boreal scarab]

Here's the thing, everyone thinks "Oh more gun laws means it's safer for us all" NO. Gun laws only hurts law abiding citizens, not criminals.

[pallid lotus]

Yes, we know, the US is a lost cause on that front.

[tight trout]

[keen light]

i think we have a bit of a shortage if i recall correctly i read somewhere

[grizzled sky]

that's coming from someone who doesn't even like guns and wants stronger regulation;

[boreal scarab]

Nope, sober as a rock

[pallid lotus]

Case in point.

[grizzled sky]

banning anything just creates bootleggers making alcohol at home without regulations of any kind on it;

[craggy fulcrum]

BORING!

[pallid lotus]

We've got a shortage of all kinds of police officers. Something something 13 years of austerity and counting something something

[keen light]

also its quite a dangerous job not just in the fact that you might get shot but also legal consequences depending on who you shoot

[pallid lotus]

That too

[grizzled sky]

and 3d printed guns can hurt the users AND the person they shoot at so they are even more dangerous in a way;

[boreal scarab]

HAHA 18TH AMENDMENT GO DIE!

[craggy fulcrum]

More gun laws is just bullshit dont take others rights away and just attack the problem at the source

[grizzled sky]

[craggy fulcrum]

erm is that the gun from fortnite

[boreal scarab]

Yah, criminals, ones with warrants, go after em.

flare gun stores

just to not refer to the anarchist cookbook on how to make gunpowder

[grizzled sky]

and yeah if we are going to ban guns, there's a lot of other things we also need to ban like basically the entire chemistry store;

[craggy fulcrum]

if people take away my guns i will excercise my 2nd amendant right on there bitch ass

[pallid lotus]

Yeah, okay, at that point we're talking about a slingshot with more steps though.

Guns are dangerous because they use explosions to shoot pointy metal objects incredibly fast at soft squishy things.

Throwing rocks with an elastic band will hurt to fuck, and may be lethal, but I'll take my chances with those.

[boreal scarab]

hehehehehe 2nd amendment go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRT

[pallid lotus]

Yep

[craggy fulcrum]

i want the gun from fortnite

[boreal scarab]

You know that's why the 2nd amendment was created. Cause the British wanted to take their guns away, they said "fuck you, no one can take our guns away"

[pallid lotus]

Correction.

[keen light]

iirc the swiss have lots of guns

[craggy fulcrum]

yes 👍

[pallid lotus]

The 2nd amendment also specifies a "well regulated" militia specifically in defence of citizens against the government.

That... is not what y'all have

[boreal scarab]

Actually we do, it's called the National Guard.

[craggy fulcrum]

i didnt pay attention in history class if y'all couldnt tell

[boreal scarab]

That's the Militia

[pallid lotus]

Okay, so national guard have guns. Good.

That means no other citizens need them then?

[craggy fulcrum]

how do you put spaces in between lines

[pallid lotus]

If the national guard satisfy the requirement of a well regulated militia under the 2nd amendment then that's the end of the story, surely?

i just tripped while trying to get up and i feel like i broke my tailbone

[sand trench]

ah yes the funniest of fun bones to hit on something

[pallid lotus]

You missed the first half:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

So, if we acknowledge that most American gun owners are not well regulated (and some are outright dangerous... think school shooters), or part of an organised militia... why do they still have the right to bear arms?

[craggy fulcrum]

it hurts to walk

[boreal scarab]

you missed the ,

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State

And THEN the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

[umbral bay]

Well regulated means well supplied. It does not mean what you think it means. Actually reading the constitutions would help.

Also, let's change the subject. 🙏

[craggy fulcrum]

i just think it's cool that in texas if someone trespasses on your property you are allowed to shoot them

[tight trout]

why?

[pallid lotus]

https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-2/

I mean, really?

[grizzled sky]

a monopoly on force is a bad idea for any democracy;

it means 1 point of failure;

[pallid lotus]

Also, a comma does not separate points. It separates clauses in a single overarching sentence.

[umbral bay]

Let's change the subject. @pallid lotus

[boreal scarab]

Called Stand your Ground and Castle Doctorine. NJ just has Castle Doctorine, so we have the right to protect ourselves and our property if we feel like our life is in danger

semicolon is a linebreak;

[pallid lotus]

End of the day, y'all have some of the worst gun crime on the planet. If you don't want to accept that your culture is the problem then that's on you 🤷‍♂️

[craggy fulcrum]

well it's not like i want to shoot someone but it's put in place to remove a trespasser with reasonable force although if you shoot them and kill them intentionally or shoot them several times it might not hold up in court and you'll be charged with murder

[pallid lotus]

Semicolon is not a line break. It links two independent clauses.

Which begs the question: why do you insist on abusing it?

[boreal scarab]

Yah, CRIME. Keyword there. Law abiding citizens are hurt by the laws, not the criminals.

I'm here to protect myself and my property.

Neither

Iirc the first was 21 hours

Then it became 24, then 12 hours was used to indicate daytime

And that's now wrong cause of the lunar drift, so there's actually less morning time than there was when 12hrs was considered day

Days are about 10ish hours now

I wanna get into mal or specialise in it

[uneven nexus]

i want to get into reversing and cracking

[merry canyon]

But i cant access restricted channels yet

[uneven nexus]

also malware analysis

[merry canyon]

I am unsure of these terms

[uneven nexus]

drc for making it tbh lol

reverse engineering

[merry canyon]

As i am still on foundational level

Cyber 101

So still learning the curve

[tight trout]

youll get there

[uneven nexus]

u dont know reverse engineering as a term?

[merry canyon]

I do not

[uneven nexus]

uhhh

[tight trout]

taking a compiled program and reversing it into readable code

[uneven nexus]

^

or seeing what it does etc

[merry canyon]

Sort of like psuedocode?

[tight trout]

normally machine language, but some reverse engineering software can get it to C

[merry canyon]

But cant that be dangerous? If its malware?

[uneven nexus]

vms

[merry canyon]

it can affect the system?

ahan

[uneven nexus]

flarevm remnux

[tight trout]

yep it can be

[uneven nexus]

also if it is static analysis it wont becuase its nto being run

[tight trout]

its basically taking a binary, and trying to figure out what it does without running it

[merry canyon]

Have you studied mal?

[uneven nexus]

you can analyze binaries without running them @merry canyon

[tight trout]

whats the question

https://dontasktoask.com

[uneven nexus]

do this room https://tryhackme.com/room/malmalintroductory

[merry canyon]

As you all know, i am fully invested in completing all three roadmaps in thm, after getting hands on certifications, i wanna learn, build, break, experiment mal in a safe environment, so how does one legally within the boundaries learn and play with it?

[uneven nexus]

very basic

[merry canyon]

@tight trout @uneven nexus

[tight trout]

depends on where you live

[merry canyon]

And do let me know if answering this question is against this servers rules etc

[tight trout]

mal dev can be illegal in certain jurisdictions

[uneven nexus]

im going to be honest, at your current level i would not say to do it yet just becuase i dont know how well you could contain the malware

but what you would do is get a vm install flare and remnux

[merry canyon]

Oh ofc not now, after i complete all those roadmaps

[uneven nexus]

put the network adapter on host only

or on a separate network only the two machines can communicate on

[merry canyon]

Lets take top countries for instance

or top 5

[uneven nexus]

then you can go off on it

[merry canyon]

All legal?

[tight trout]

completely all different

[uneven nexus]

yes its all legal

you are literally analyzing malicious code not making it

[merry canyon]

How does it benefit someone in their day to day job or what could those roles be?

[uneven nexus]

the only issue i didnt want to share the other thing is becuase it is mroe focused on crackmes or something lol

[uneven nexus]

there are roles for malware analysts reverse engineers but threat hunters can use the IOCs and the analysis to detect threats

[tight trout]

which has little ethical uses

[uneven nexus]

they are all crackmes in the lessons technically so

[merry canyon]

Shouldnt hackers be doing maldev to better understand or even blueteamers to eliminate or counter attack the threat?

All being ethical

[tight trout]

im talking about cracking commercial software, which is unethical and violates the ToS of the software + can be illegal

[merry canyon]

Is that different than penetration testing?

if theres a legal binder

[tight trout]

they are completely different things yes

[uneven nexus]

iot penetration testing gets into reverse engineering also reverse engineering is also part of the security researcher role @merry canyon

[tight trout]

Penetration test

A penetration test, colloquially known as a pentest, is an authorized simulated cyberattack on a computer system, performed to evaluate the security of the system; this is not to be confused with a vulnerability assessment. The test is performed to identify weaknesses, including the potential for unauthorized parties to gain access to the system's features and data, as well as strengths, enabling a full risk assessment to be completed.

Software Cracking

Software cracking is an act of removing copy protection from a software. Copy protection can be removed by applying a specific crack. A crack can mean any tool that enables breaking software protection, a stolen product key, or guessed password. Cracking software generally involves circumventing licensing and usage restrictions on commercial software by illegal methods. These methods can include modifying code directly through disassembling and bit editing, sharing stolen product keys, or developing software to generate activation keys.

[merry canyon]

If my jurisdiction allows malware related roles, and stuff, what certs are recommended or courses to specialise it after achieving a pen testing certification

[merry canyon]

@tight trout @uneven nexus

[tight trout]

are you trying to reverse engineer malware, or do you want to do mal dev?

[rapid merlin]

hardware hacking is more fun than software hacking

[merry canyon]

I do mot know at this time of my studies

i want to touch every aspect of it and then specialise i guess

[tight trout]

rev eng is going to have its uses for blue teaming, mal dev has little usage outside of red teaming, but i can speak for it

im 19 lol, just a uni student

[merry canyon]

In cybersecurity, im not too sure except what to specialise in, but mal is one topic which just excites me

[royal gazelle]

without delving too much into a risky topic, I wouldn't consider some cases to be completely unethical - e.g. The case of John Deere tractor software

btw @merry canyon if you want to try some

use a vm though

[merry canyon]

Im on mac and using UTM kali linux

is that okay?

[uneven nexus]

no

its useless for this

[merry canyon]

How do i have a sandbox type vm which is sade

Safe

[uneven nexus]

you need x32/x64 dbg and something like ghidra or ida

[merry canyon]

Ahan

[uneven nexus]

maybe kali comes with ghidra idk

[merry canyon]

ill check

[uneven nexus]

actually i take it back you can use gdb for the linux ones

kali isnt completely useless for it

[royal gazelle]

you can run a full reveng toolkit in linux, debugging will be annoying so not completely advisable but fine for static analysis - better off installing remnux if you absolutely must use linux though

[uneven nexus]

yeah i use remnux and flare

[merry canyon]

i should wait until i finish jr pen testing path right?

because everything as of this moment

Is going over my head

[uneven nexus]

idk 💀

[modern fox]

[royal gazelle]

choosing projects that actually excite and interest you usually are good for rapid skill acquisition and late learners, you just work backwards when you hit a wall

if you want to reverse engineer malware, then download some samples and throw it in a VM and see if you can do a better job than VirusTotal/Joe's sandbox automatic reporting - you will realize quickly what you don't know and will need to work on

[fresh relic]

might be interesting for some regarding the Tea app incident

[tight trout]

twitter... *shudders*

[grizzled sky]

if you're interested in forensics those can be fun to learn what tools you use to investigate;

learning how to make a forensics report and how to explain how you figured something out is also a very good skill to learn no matter which area of cybersecurity you are going into. just like with cop work, a large amount of cybersecurity is paperwork and documenting evidence;

https://dfirmadness.com/the-stolen-szechuan-sauce/

this was the dfir project i did as a part of my bootcamp for cybersecurity;

[grizzled sky]

another good project idea i did during my bootcamp is i took a real world cybersecurity incident that occured close to where i live that has lots of public data on how and why it went wrong and do a report on what mistakes were made and how i would retrain that company to do things differently. perhaps making a risk frameworks playbook on how they could have responded for instance;

[royal gazelle]

I did that one a few years ago it is excellent, just wish it got updated - The DFIR Report publishes their analyst tryout exercises you can run through on your own (or just actually apply next time they have volunteer tryouts and do them in a timed scenario)

Thank goodness for walkthroughs

I was doing Memory Forensics and I thought I had the right method for getting the truecrypt pass phrase, but it didnt work, well in a walkthrough it did work that way

[grizzled sky]

one advanatage of an llm is the ability for it to look up answers for you and still intentionally not reveal the exact answer in order to give you hints on how to fix it;

[dark wolf]

And oddly enough, I had the wrong shutdown time, but i had dowloaded the task file 1GB from before the room was closed, so i downloaded it again and it had a different time

[dark wolf]

At least not the one built into THM

[grizzled sky]

you can do it with any llm too you just have to explain in the prompt you want hints without it giving the answer to you;

[dark wolf]

Oh, yeah, that for sure

it blurs the lines though since he uses journalistic investigation combined with infosec;

[dark wolf]

Yeah, and they join up with some pretty talented hackers in one of them

[grizzled sky]

as it is though its hard to say what is and is not inherently technical;

a web search is technical but most journalists use google;

[dark wolf]

They don't really explain how they are doing it

[uneven nexus]

i cant tell if they are sending a rat over or if they exploit the remote conneciton software the scammers use

[grizzled sky]

lots of interesting journalism and infosec being done by them;

[dark wolf]

Violet, I don't have time for that, it was just a discussion.

[uneven nexus]

osint focus?

bellingcat i mean

[dark wolf]

I am curious on what they are doing though. The CEO of Anydesk was on one of them in on it

oh no not anydesk

Kraken

[uneven nexus]

oh yeah i think i saw that one

they set up a fake wallet and everything iirc

[dark wolf]

But the scammers use anydesk, so i wonder if they use a metasploit remote execution

[grizzled sky]

[dark wolf]

Yah, lol

[uneven nexus]

i mean like yeah rmm software is kinda like a rat so i was wondering if thats how they are getting control via that or something

[dark wolf]

I've never heard of Bellingcat

I was talking about Jim Browning

[uneven nexus]

minus the trojan lol

[dark wolf]

I just wish they didnt' target people who can't afford to lose money, sad

[grizzled sky]

iirc jim browning also worked with mark robber once;

[dark wolf]

thats why i dont care that jim browning and paybackscammer work together to destroy scam centers

[royal gazelle]

🤦

they do real investigative work

[grizzled sky]

osint in general is fascinating. a lot of extremist groups have been exposed because random bored people used public tools to dox the members using photos of their faces or other info about them;

[uneven nexus]

a lot of that stuff isnt random bored people though

[knotty valve]

Osint is fun ngl

[knotty valve]

Yeah we have a reason

[dark wolf]

Yeah, a black hat only has to make one mistake. Blue team can make 60, but soon as the black hat makes a mistake its over

[honest latch]

Hı everyone , GM

[uneven nexus]

they are osint company employees

[dark wolf]

Do you work in OSINT ashlynn?

[knotty valve]

Can confirm™

That's how I got arrested ages ago

[royal gazelle]

OSINT against ISIS Twitter used to go crazy

[grizzled sky]

not true, if blue team are working with/as law enforcement 1 mistake can destroy someone's case;

[knotty valve]

It's one of my specialities

[grizzled sky]

depends on the nature of the mistake though;

[dark wolf]

Well at least you got to live your wild side before coming to your senses lol

[dark wolf]

You ever watch rainbolt?

[knotty valve]

Making a mistake as someone doing it illegally can spell out your court case with ease

[dark wolf]

But you are on a permanent list

[knotty valve]

I made two mistakes which got me caught:

1. Didn't have a Killswitch or Dead man's lock
2. I made a report with a time and date that exposed me

[grizzled sky]

to this day its hillarious to me how many times governments accidentally leak secret bases because they didn't take satelites into account;

[blazing fractal]

Anyone here prepping for Python basics / Security+ / THM modules / AZ-900 and wants to form a beginner study group?

[knotty valve]

So when I got my laptop and server seized, you can guess the amount of stuff they tied me back to

[dark wolf]

How long ago was that?

[lone sierra]

am i allowed to use hydra to try to brute force my password on tryhackme?

[knotty valve]

5-6 years ago

[uneven nexus]

no

[dark wolf]

you can use what you want injanay

ohhh wait

sorry, i though tyou meant a ctf

[uneven nexus]

hes going to be doing the actual site lol

[lone sierra]

so like, any problem?

[dark wolf]

Yeah, they have your IP address and your username and email address, they know where you live, if you want to run an illegal brute force

[lone sierra]

why probolem

[tight trout]

yes, youre probably committing a crime

[lone sierra]

ohh

[knotty valve]

If you need to contact support

[uneven nexus]

they are going to probably just ban your ip anyways

[craggy fulcrum]

my next door neighbor is kinda weird

[dark wolf]

Yeah, you will be comitting a felony if you try that

[lone sierra]

thanks for telling us

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @craggy fulcrum (current: #1216 - 4)

[tight trout]

sorry >_< ill keep it down

[lone sierra]

so any other website i can do that upon?

without commiting a crime

[dark wolf]

and report you to your boss and call your mom

[craggy fulcrum]

i walked up the stairs after getting my snack and hes staring through the window similar to the way a child stares at a guy in a wheelchair at the store

[lone sierra]

i am a student

[tight trout]

one that you host locally on your home network

[uneven nexus]

you are brute forcing their assets which if not throttled can cause a DOS as a result they are just going to ban your ip or the like and you arent going to get anything

[tight trout]

or try out a tryhackme room

[craggy fulcrum]

it's been 10 minutes bro is on somethin

[uneven nexus]

do the hydra tryhackme room

[gusty inlet]

Greyhat is still partly illegal so please do not share resources or discuss such things.

[grizzled sky]

bellingcat afaik is legal;

[dark wolf]

[gusty inlet]

I'm a victim of Nitro.

[dark wolf]

Security Certs are an alphabet bag of top ramen

[gusty inlet]

LMAO

[dark wolf]

networking people be like you got a Cisco cert?

[gusty inlet]

Accurate.

[craggy fulcrum]

ima go check on my crackhead neighbor

[grizzled sky]

out of curiousity do llms count as illegal? basically every model ever created was built at least in part by copyrighted material iirc?;

[dark wolf]

I guess that depends, the US is trying to say that content creators dont have to be paid

[blissful current]

I got the courses for free from my org from various cert providers like EC-Council,CompTia, ICS² etc

[craggy fulcrum]

my neighbor is still swaying back and forth in the window should i go across the street at midnight and see what the fuck is going on

[floral ice]

ig legal gray area sorta

[craggy fulcrum]

hes prolly cracked out his mind

[tidal sierra]

Hi 👋

[grizzled sky]

that's part of the reason i ask, grayhat is considered partly illegal so by that standard llms would probably fall under it too;

[drowsy holly]

Once I have completed the paths on tryhackme, what is the best strategy for continuing my learning? So that I don't get lost? Learn by chance?

[uneven nexus]

challenge rooms and ctfs/htb i would think?

maybe some offsec certs?

[tight trout]

do you want to get shot?

[gusty inlet]

If you really did the paths, trained, and took notes, then you're ready for certs and CTF challenges. If you're not ready to take exams or challenges, it means you didn't train correctly.

[dark wolf]

Target certifications valuable to what you want to do for a job

But what is your goal Elliot?

[grizzled sky]

also even if you complete the paths, there's thousands of rooms just on tryhackme. let alone real work on hackerone;

[floral ice]

why u calling me out like dat 😔

[drowsy holly]

My goal is to learn as much as I can.

[grizzled sky]

read a page of wikipedia a day;

[dark wolf]

Are you in school? Do you work?

[craggy fulcrum]

i mean idk

[lone sierra]

question: does hydra work only if the website stores the passwords as plain text?

[dark wolf]

I mean I work but that is my goal too , to learn as much as I can haha

[whole yew]

sink or swim can be very effective - but if the learner doesn't have any context to put what they are doing into, it's going to just be frustrating and a waste of time.

That said, I do it to my juniors all the time

[uneven nexus]

no.

[lone sierra]

so it work if the passwords are stored as their hashes too

[gusty inlet]

Huh, that's not how it works.

[craggy fulcrum]

he standing there like he in a low budget horror movie

[uneven nexus]

have you completed the hydra room?

[lone sierra]

yes

[dark wolf]

type man hydra at the command line

[floral ice]

go do the hydra room again and read it

[drowsy holly]

I don't go to school, I'm grown up, I'm 37 years old!

[dark wolf]

it gives you all the options and info on it

[lone sierra]

alright, my bad

[uneven nexus]

hydra is just like putting in your password in a login page

[gusty inlet]

This is exactly why you should learn networking and OS before pentesting.

[dark wolf]

Gotchya, im 50 ... do you work in IT?

[gusty inlet]

And how websites work.

[uneven nexus]

lol

[gusty inlet]

I'm serious.

[tight trout]

compromise: youre both old

[uneven nexus]

i mean ur right

[floral ice]

why u keep calling me out man

[gusty inlet]

Sorry dude.

[floral ice]

Hhahaa

[dark wolf]

It's a LOT to learn

[tight trout]

dkob with the full stops? damn

[gusty inlet]

Since when do I not add full stops?

[dark wolf]

I remember starting with HTML1.0 back in 1995 or so

[uneven nexus]

punctuation is scary

[drowsy holly]

@gusty inlet Unfortunately, I didn't take notes as I would have liked... But I did take notes that I often use in ctfs for tools and how they work.

[gusty inlet]

Look at my chat history. It looks like ChatGPT.

[tidal sierra]

So @gusty inlet whats ur next cert gonna be

[floral ice]

I Highly rec obsidian for note takeing
