[uneven nexus]

so u use it like a printer?

[knotty valve]

Uhhhhhhhhhh

[normal fable]

Yeah I know.. Ashy.. I knoww

[knotty valve]

Imma consult my lawyer

[naive violet]

Yeah that's... That's what an nda is

[naive violet]

Wait until you see how easy it is to build a ground station now

[normal fable]

Gov is strange with perms and stuff...

[knotty valve]

Yeah ik

[knotty valve]

Yeah but the system I crashed (I've openly admitted to how I did it here before cause it's not under NDA) you can't connect to without being on their network

I used to be on their network cause I used to work for the company

[naive violet]

That's what they think

[knotty valve]

We had one attempted intrusion

That we actually saw

That didn't get blocked lower down the chain

Initial access from a fake email I think?

They moved through and targeted the dev team, but actually compromising through anything more than "who tf disabled this rule?" Hasn't happened to my knowledge

[tidal sierra]

@normal fable Mooo hru

[knotty valve]

Yay I get to pick up my glasses

Now I have glasses for distance

[safe oxide]

[polar spoke]

speaking of radio stuff, i ran across something i think you might find interesting

[safe oxide]

How does that work didnt you already had bad? close sight

[polar spoke]

takes in fiber, spits out RF

[broken plaza]

hmm wassup chaat

[polar spoke]

listing rates it at 45-1000MHz range

[broken plaza]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-chat-hello-hi-chat-cat-cat-meme-gif-14113031897149679466

[knotty valve]

Wait a second

Actually

That makes sense

Fibre is just the transport medium

[polar spoke]

its... a bit more complicated in this case

this is a non-powered end receiver

that derives it's source from the fiber itself and spits out RF

and they are dirt cheap

[knotty valve]

Yeah I'd assume so but I don't see a reason that fibre couldn't be used already for coaxial

[polar spoke]

it appears as though you could use this for long haul RF without noise/loss

[broken plaza]

is something illegal (as per govt. definitions) being discussed here? 👀

[polar spoke]

this is already a thing, the devices are usually just pricy

[uneven nexus]

i see so you all are planning to hack the cia got it

[knotty valve]

Imma watch it later, that's actually pretty cool

[polar spoke]

this is a super cheap, passive adapter

[knotty valve]

Yea I should deep dive into the hardware side of things tbh

[polar spoke]

seems interesting for RF downlinks in noisy environments or with outdoor antennas or similar

as you can drag fiber from your antenna to your actual receiving end

[knotty valve]

I only ever focused primarily on payload and free space comms for satellites

[naive violet]

RF over Cat5e is also nice, a few hundred mhz balanced

[knotty valve]

Never anything else

[polar spoke]

yeah, using twisted pair/ethernet cables for RF is apparently not uncommon

works well enough but i've never tried it

[normal fable]

I"m moo. u?

[knotty valve]

I've got enough of both that I could try this at home ngl

[polar spoke]

but the distance you can throw that is still far less than you could potentially throw some 1550nm fiber

[normal fable]

Kids just got back at 23:45 with groceries... LOL

[knotty valve]

I got a good 200m of cat5 and another 90ish of coaxial

[normal fable]

I have a phone interview at 10:00

[knotty valve]

Also 500m of barbed wire

But we don't ask why

[tidal sierra]

Sleepy 😩😴

[knotty valve]

[normal fable]

[polar spoke]

i just buy the reels/boxes

[tidal sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/bed-time-for-boo-monster-inc-gif-16523239644544708016

[polar spoke]

i've kept standard to 600MHz cat 6 for a while, without issues, but I need to probably move up to something a bit better rated

[normal fable]

Buy a box of cat.. then make your cables. 😉

[knotty valve]

This was all left overs from my dad after he rewired his entire house 🤣

[normal fable]

Buying premade is sooo expensive.

[knotty valve]

His PC is PoE now

Why? Idk, he doesn't even use it

[normal fable]

for larger applications..

PoE PC??

sff?

[polar spoke]

100% agree

[normal fable]

or.. his PC now has a PoE card to put out power??

[polar spoke]

i haven't bought a premade for anything in a long time, but i do want to play with some of the flat cables at some point

they seem interesting, just dont have a real usecase for them

[naive violet]

I need to buy some high-grade coax for portable, but it's mega spenny even without connectors...

[polar spoke]

glad i've not gone down that path yet

but it'll forever be looming over me as I work on more and more radio/satellite stuff

[knotty valve]

Idk

I didn't build his pc

[uneven nexus]

you guys are hackers

[normal fable]

I'm curious.. "PoE PC" says to me that it runs off of PoE.. which seems.. underpowered to me.

Ethernet cable can't carry as much power as my PC needs. 🤣

[knotty valve]

Pretty sure it can now be turned on over ether

[polar spoke]

you can push like 75W on some PoE versions iirc

it's a sizable amount of power

so like, mini PC levels of power pretty easily

but not full fledged desktop perhaps

[normal fable]

Ashy, you mean like HP Litghts Out or something similar?? Like it can be powered on by the Ethernet card?

[knotty valve]

Idk he didn't give me the specifics 🤣

[normal fable]

Not that the Thernet card powerse it on...

[knotty valve]

I didn't ask cause I wasn't curious

[normal fable]

Powers it**

🤷

[polar spoke]

this is probably just WakeOnLAN

[knotty valve]

Probs

Idk his setup

It's been completely rebuilt since I last lived with fam

[normal fable]

WakeOnLan is maybe a general term for if it suspends/hibernates you can turn it on with some LAN activity. What I mean.. is if there is a power failure, then the power comes back on, and if you have access.. you can power on the machine from a mini web-interface or other way.. I've managed some servers with that capability.

[knotty valve]

I was just told it can be powered on over Ethernet 😅

[normal fable]

But.. speculation on what they are talking about.. which none of us have a clue. 🤣

[knotty valve]

Not whether it runs solely off just PoE

[polar spoke]

yeah, out of band management is relatively common actually

[knotty valve]

Yeah I have no clue what this man does in his spare time with his PC

[polar spoke]

basically all commercial and a surprising amount of "consumer" hardware has it

[normal fable]

I mean.. What is a server anyway?? and what is Ethernet?? and PoE?? I don't get it...

[polar spoke]

either implemented with a BMC or sometimes integrated into the chipset/CPU like intel's AMT/vPRO

[normal fable]

You said Integrated.. iLO I think is what Dell calls it?? I can't remember... it's been a few years since I had to power on a machine remotely...

[polar spoke]

that's HP's

[slow cloud]

I think dell has idrac

[normal fable]

I think all companies now offer something similar for servers.. not so much for PCs?? not sure. I haven't bought a PC in a few decades.. just built my own..

[polar spoke]

yeah, dell is either idrac or they use vPRO/AMT

[normal fable]

idrac is what it is... iirc

[polar spoke]

it's all approximately the same thing on commercial hardware though

baseband chip with a network interface and control of the chassis/platform

[rapid merlin]

Last time I did thm it didn't have much information, maybe I didn't search enough so I asked xD

[polar spoke]

only the vPRO/AMT stuff is really any different, and even then only slightly

[normal fable]

I wonder now.. can I setup something similar on a consumer grade NIC?? 😉
Maybe a nice little firmware flash??? 😄

[polar spoke]

it wouldn't be up to the NIC

but the platform

[rapid merlin]

Has labs I am working on them, but want to learn to craft my own payload 😂 rather than following given solution

[polar spoke]

on consumer gear, you're looking for features on the motherboard, if supported by the chipset, and then again if supported by the CPU

[rapid merlin]

Noted

[polar spoke]

lots of motherboards have a "wake on lan" or similar feature, but if you want something like vPRO/AMT to work, you need to ensure the chipset and CPU are both compatible and enabled

iirc this means Q series chipsets for intel are most likely

if you want to try to play with it, intel has "Some" tooling for it, but I find MeshCommander is a bit more well rounded

seems a bit more likely to behave in my experience

[normal fable]

I think you may need separate hardware to manage power to a system after a power loss.

Maybe... maybe...

[polar spoke]

well, that's what OOB management is

[naive violet]

Usually a bios option to power back on after a power loss

[polar spoke]

AMT should be able to power a system from off i think

https://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide/default.htm?turl=WordDocuments%2Fchangesystempowerstate.htm

looks like it's dependent on the platform whether or not it will be able to wake it

if the system is "fully" powered off and not in one of the (apparently numerous) standby or power saving states, it wont be possible

so not quite as capable as a BMC that is always powered if power is supplied

[normal fable]

From what I understand.. with things like idrac/ilo etc.. you can actually "switch on" the device. Remotely trigger the power on/off/reboot from a web interface that's built into the NIC.. from how I understand it. It's all vendor specific though?? That's just what I'm getting from it so far. I'm gonna have to research more to be 100% but that's my perception of what I'm seeing so far. If I'm wrong please correct me

[polar spoke]

yeah that's right, but it's not built into the NIC

the system will either have a built in baseband computer, or an added one

[naive violet]

All vendor specific but layered on IPMI

So there's a standard underneath that you can poke at

[naive violet]

But it can often share a nic with the host, which is kinda neat

[normal fable]

Aha. That actually makes more sense to me. Not the NIC.. as the NIC can't trigger power events.. unless majorly malfunctioning... 🤣

[polar spoke]

yeah, that's usually quite nice

though dedicated NIC for the BMC is nice too

[normal fable]

Oh yeah.. omg.. there is a separate port for that... omg.. I forgot

[polar spoke]

i've got quite a few systems that seem to be able to do both interchangeably

[normal fable]

usually?? or is there always a specific port for that??

[polar spoke]

well

it kinda depends on the platform configuration

a lot of my systems have a dedicated management interface, but the BMC will publish on the other as well in some cases

like this

where the dedicated port only carries the management interface

[normal fable]

I think I just answered my own question in my head.. for some vendors, it's on-board power management. In some cases you would need a side-band power management solution. Is that a more in-depth answer?

[polar spoke]

but the other ports, if configured in hardware for it, can also carry it at the same time they carry network

[polar spoke]

it's both vendor specific, but also specific to the exact hardware/platform from said vendor

[normal fable]

I have even more questions now.. but I will do more research. 🙂 TY TY TY for all the back and forth on this.

[polar spoke]

depends on which BMC they are using and how they have it connected to the rest of the devices

[normal fable]

I never thought such a stupid simple thing as flipping a light switch on a server.. would be so interesting to me. 🤣

[polar spoke]

i mean, to be fair the BMC can do a lot more than that

but it can also flip the power switch 🙂

[normal fable]

Exactly.. it's way more than I thought initially.. and I never bothered to research it at all.

[ruby hull]

Will we be getting another ctf this year?

[normal fable]

It would probably be in #announcements if so?? If it's not there.. then maybe they don't want us to know yet. 😉

Is mysql and python necessary to learn in it field ?

[boreal scarab]

[normal fable]

I do have an interview at 10.. so.. 🤣

[uneven nexus]

what do you want to do in the field?

[regal rain]

I just aim to get a job at cyber security but stay flexible with looking for other jobs in the it on the same time

[elder hound]

[normal fable]

Cybersecurity is a HUUGE area.

[uneven nexus]

ok but like what role cybersecurity has huge and i mean huge amount of roles

[regal rain]

Pen testing and red team i like

[uneven nexus]

Ok then you defintely should know python

[normal fable]

100% recommended then.. imo

[uneven nexus]

and as for sql you need to know a bit aswell

for sqlis

[regal rain]

Ok thanks suhuf 👍

[uneven nexus]

even on blue team you should know python honestly

[normal fable]

SQL is a great area to .. do stuff. without being super specific.. 😉

[uneven nexus]

np

[regal rain]

Okay 👍🏻

[elder hound]

Then yes you should learn the basics of python and learn scripting and SQL you need it for SQL injection.

[regal rain]

Ok

[elder hound]

Bash scripting also good for pentesting

[regal rain]

Okay

[lucid crypt]

@normal fable 😭😭

[normal fable]

Bash, Python, tools, how to research. 😉

Even pentesting has specific areas where some people will lean on other pentesters to help.

Like if you are a master at say.. binexp.. your team may want you to handle something that most others can't do.. if you work in a team.. which you should

[lucid crypt]

Heyyy 🥲

[regal rain]

Ok

[normal fable]

Like.. my experties is in customer service and documentation... but.. that's not for cybersec. 🙂
It's life in general. 😉

[elder hound]

Documentation a good skill to have since you also have to do report writing in the cybersecurity space.

[normal fable]

Oh yeah def. Take notes on everthing as detailed as possible.. even while learning.

[elder hound]

Nice

[carmine oasis]

How to write a good documentation?

[elder hound]

There is a room for it in tryhackme. Report writing it’s called

[normal fable]

For what and who?? Who is your audience? What is the topic? How detailed do you need to be?

[carmine oasis]

Acceptable standard

[elder hound]

What I got out of it that the audience you write to is very important because for example as a pentester.

You write to different people in one report and not everyone in understands what you just did in a pentest.

[carmine oasis]

I will improve it and have as prof of concept in my GitHub

[normal fable]

You have to know your audience..

[regal rain]

Can I ask you something in dm

[normal fable]

Okay

[carmine oasis]

I will do it for a test target and write it as a real pen tester as a proof.

which room?

intro to XSS

level 5 has a filter to remove "script"

and i thought it would bypass even if i typed it in multiple times (i didnt check that method)

so what i did was i encoded everything in base64 and put it in an <iframe>, to my surprise it worked but it didnt register as a "successful XSS"

and afterwards when i tried the intended method it would get stuck and load infinitely until i turned the machine off

Guys my college computer have fedora linux and they have given full root access

What can I do which is sort of naughty but not downright illegal

[normal fable]

Personally I'd just report it to staff..

[rapid merlin]

Don’t do anything silly

[topaz sedge]

Pretty sure the teacher who teaches us doesn't know about linux that well

[topaz sedge]

I want to 🥹

[stoic quarry]

Get kicked out of the course or report it ig

[tidal sierra]

Crash it

Jk

[topaz sedge]

I could

[tidal sierra]

Don't do it it's illegal

[rapid merlin]

I know but it’s not worth it

[normal fable]

Talk to them privately then.. and let them know the issue.. unless you're supposed to have root access. Maybe there is a reason and you're just not aware yet.

[slow cloud]

install arch

[tidal sierra]

[slow cloud]

they dont need fedora

[normal fable]

If it's for a class.. then I'd think there is a reason for it.

[slow cloud]

but yeah reporting it to them is probably the best thing to do

[tidal sierra]

@rapid merlin check dm when free sis

Yes, but I am planning to try easy ones first

[normal fable]

That's good! At YOUR pace! 🙂

meaning learn at your own pace..

[topaz sedge]

I told them

The teacher said she'll talk to the technician

Thing is, we have a lockscreen password set for every PC and it's same

The lockscreen password is same as root password

[normal fable]

hey that's kinda based

i have a zflip though so i am a tad biased

[normal fable]

Have you had it long?

My daughter's broke in less than a year..

[radiant fractal]

About a year and a half- it's the zFlip5. It actually got me off of social media because I was too terrified of damaging the screen every time i opened it

I have AT&T insurance

[boreal scarab]

Fuck.. I just realized I forgot my charger for my meshtastic

Welp....

What's the average age of people in this community?

idk but that would be an interesting poll. i wonder what the discrepancies across servers would / could be

[rapid merlin]

Bro I was serious @stoic quarry

[rapid merlin]

Ahh

[stoic quarry]

How am I supposed to know the average age of 200,000+ people

[rapid merlin]

Just random guessing buddy

[stoic quarry]

95

That's my guess

[normal fable]

*3,000,000

[rapid merlin]

When hanging up on people felt good 😂

BAM

The flip

[rapid merlin]

My fault i apologise

[radiant fractal]

not as satisfying on the zflip

[normal fable]

let's say 16-70ish??? maybe??

[rapid merlin]

God I’m so hungry and I really cba to make food

[normal fable]

you not @rapid merlin

[rapid merlin]

Wait what did I miss lol

How old

😂

[normal fable]

I said age was from like 16-70ish.. 🤷

[rapid merlin]

@normal fable Btw the common topic between us(the whole lobby)is cybersecurity right ?😭

[normal fable]

#start-here and #rules are a great place to learn what this is about

[rapid merlin]

I’m 71 actually

[normal fable]

Bah.. liar.. you're only 50.. at most.. 😛

[rapid merlin]

[rapid merlin]

I’m just aging in reverse

[rapid merlin]

Bro I thought asking here would build some real connection 😐

The old is inside

[normal fable]

I'm not your bro. Please don't call me that.

It aggrivates me

[rapid merlin]

Ahh my bad what should I call you

[normal fable]

https://tenor.com/view/umwhat-what-huh-confused-gif-7897509

[radiant fractal]

probably their username

sorry. i am running on no sleep

[rapid merlin]

Someone called me sis and sister earlier and I was trying not to harness my inner scrubz. 😂

Biting my tongue

[rapid merlin]

I can't call anyone by their username because I like to give respect to others

[slow cloud]

i cant speak for the other people but my age is:

[normal fable]

If you hang around long enough you will get the hange of how to address people. "bro" is not really an acceptable term imo

[slow cloud]

https://tenor.com/view/vegeta-its-over9000-gif-14419267

[normal fable]

Just my opinion though.. 🤷

[slow cloud]

it really depends

[radiant fractal]

cross-agewise it can be tricky

[slow cloud]

might also be a generational difference since most people my age say bro

[rapid merlin]

Thanks i learned something new today

and it can affect your position at work if you arent mindful of codeswitching

[rapid merlin]

Thanks for correcting me 🙂

[normal fable]

I'm 46 almost 47. The term "bro" is reserved for my brothers.. it means more than just "you person".

[mortal ether]

heh yeah, i asked someone the other day whether they would call their boss or teacher "bro" as well cause i was curious

My guess is they would see it as anything but a sign of respect

[radiant fractal]

I'm sorry for coming across snarky, too many bad experiences with bad apples 🫠

[mortal ether]

The reaction from someone here was "my boss is younger than me, and if i said that my boss would kill me"

[agile radish]

Where can i learn Bash + Powershell for Cybersecurity? i know basic of both.

[slow cloud]

tryhackme has some good rooms

iirc

[radiant fractal]

is the premium version of tryhackme worth it?

[slow cloud]

yes

[normal fable]

#start-here has some good resources

[slow cloud]

i usually only use bro with friends from whom i know also use bro

[normal fable]

There are a LOT of free rooms so if you can't afford it then you don't have to pay to learn.

Last I remember about 60-70% of THM was free??

[radiant fractal]

yeah, i just left a pretty bad situation so i am rather strapped but blessed with a powerful pc build

that is a WILD amount @normal fable

[normal fable]

Last I remember.. may be more or less now.. I didn't do the math myself 😉

[slow cloud]

there is a free roadmap

looking for it gimme a sec

[radiant fractal]

on github @slow cloud ?

i found it if so

[slow cloud]

naaah on tryhackme

[radiant fractal]

oh hmm

[slow cloud]

You can check out free roadmap before moving to premium 🙂
https://tryhackme.com/resources/blog/free_path

found it

[radiant fractal]

that is extremely helpful, thank you!

[slow cloud]

no worries

no rep /j

what even was that

[normal fable]

You could probably do every free room and path on THM for the next decade and never run out of material.. not to mention it keeps getting updated and new material each week.

oooh! internet points!! 🤣

[slow cloud]

i need to reach number 1

[rapid merlin]

Aren't you all grinding to reach on top of leaderboard ?

[slow cloud]

not really no

[radiant fractal]

i literally am learning and using ubuntu because i love free stuff so much

[rapid merlin]

Monthly leaderboard*

[radiant fractal]

open-source 😩

[slow cloud]

Not really, being on there doesnt say anything about your skill

[boreal scarab]

[rapid merlin]

According to me it counts like u can practice alot things

[slow cloud]

yeah but if you are speedrunning for the leaderboard, what are you learning

[radiant fractal]

@slow cloud it says a lot about discipline which is equally important to, if not moreso, than skill

[slow cloud]

id rather take some extra time to do a room and understand it, then to rush it to be on some leaderboard

[agile radish]

Yea but that cover only the basics that I already know, not the bash scripting and powershell scripting deep.

[rapid merlin]

Great vision

[mortal ether]

Especially the weekly and monthly leaderboards don't say anything about skill

[radiant fractal]

@slow cloud i misread what you typed and agree with you

[normal fable]

Even if you don't understand it.. reserch what you don't understand.. That's learning.. and make sure you DO understand it after doing your resarch...

[slow cloud]

no worriess

[radiant fractal]

what is your pfp

[normal fable]

Put into practice the lessons.. and maybe teach.. if you don't learn then you'll never be able to teach

[radiant fractal]

@slow cloud

[mortal ether]

Not a great idea to be too focussed on leaderboards, especially the short term ones

[slow cloud]

its my tryhackme profile picture

If it motivates you to do rooms, great. But take your time doing them so you actually learn something

[mossy river]

I'd say I've been in Cyber for 5 or so years, although I was always involved in technology I didn't really break into the field properly until 2019/2020 during COVID. I was quite good at programming, I got top grades in all computer related subjects at secondary school and to be honest I always thought I'd go into something programming related.

That was until I found John Hammond on YouTube going through TryHackMe rooms and I became obsessed, I spent at least 6 hours a day non-stop for a month doing CTFs and then burnt out slightly which reduced my activity on the platform. I eventually started working for TryHackMe while doing a diploma in college and I've continued working for TryHackMe while getting a bachelors degree in Cybersecurity at University.

[nova briar]

Damn

That's so cool

Congratulations on your achievements so far and I hope to see more 😁

[slender current]

Hi I built this all by myself and I don't know if I have good programming basics or not yet

[nova briar]

I was always good at computer related subjects in school as well but

I haven't fully gotten deep into it

[mossy river]

Please use text files to post large code files 🙏

[nova briar]

I did web dev for a while but dropped it chz wasn't my thing

Airplane coffee is better than Starbucks coffee

Change my mind

[slender current]

ok

[nova briar]

No

I won't

[mossy river]

I had a similar path, my brother had a web development company and so I naturally tried to learn it

I'm quite a fast learner but I don't think I've learned anything as quickly as CTFing

[slender current]

do you think i have a good basic now to jump into web exploit?

[nova briar]

Sheesh

[mossy river]

Anything is better than Starbucks coffee

[mossy river]

Writing your own exploits?

[nova briar]

I gotta get a tryhackme thing so I can learn properly
Rn I'm just learning from github repos and dvwa

[slender current]

yeah

[nova briar]

It's a bit annoying not having something like TryHackMe but

ALLAS we make do

[mossy river]

What's stopping you from learning on TryHackMe?

[loud orbit]

@mossy river your opinion on IT support apprenticeship to break into field ?

[nova briar]

I've completed all the free classes 🤭

[loud orbit]

I do wanna focus on pentesting etc tbh

[nova briar]

Gotta get some money n pay

[loud orbit]

I can show the company that’s offering to take me but it’s lvl 3 aswell

[mossy river]

I'd say you're on the right path from the snippet of code I can see, unless it's for some high-tech web exploits you don't really need to know programming at that high of a level, just the fundamentals

[mossy river]

Quite a common avenue into IT/ Cybersecurity

[loud orbit]

U think it’s worth it ?

[nova briar]

People tend to avoid help desk n stuff like that but it's a good place to start y'know?

[loud orbit]

Tbh the company does offer cybersecurity aswell but I’m worried about if I could factually break into it internally @mossy river

[mossy river]

Did you do them on an account that is different to the one you linked? 🤔

[nova briar]

Like in a kitchen u start as a kitchen helper before u become a cook

[loud orbit]

And if I get stuck just resetting passwords etc in a apprenticeship

[nova briar]

Wdym?
Oh linked to discord?

No I didn't

Tis the same

Oh no not again

[mossy river]

I have seen quite a few people do it, so I would say yes it's fine 😄

Ahhhh thanks so much bro

OOOOHH wait is it cuz the email from THM is different that the one for discord?
I mean that shouldn't matter right?

[mortal ether]

You should still have hundreds of free THM rooms left that you can do based on the level i'm seeing

[mossy river]

Quite possible, spend a year or so in the company and then see if you can move over into a position

[loud orbit]

We’re are they now ?👀

[nova briar]

Huuuuh?
I must be stupid WTF

[loud orbit]

Ok fair enough I will risk it for the biscuit then😂

[nova briar]

I'll check when I get home then

You can skip premium ones on pathways and continue working through, you've only taken a small bite of the apple

[nova briar]

Oh really???!!

I didn't know...

[mossy river]

54*12=~648 free rooms

[nova briar]

I just thought "oh premium now, can't progress without money ig"

[mortal ether]

You can also filter on rooms that are free outside of the learning path, if you run out of rooms inside of the learning path

[mossy river]

Nope, you just skip that lesson and go to the next free one 😄 there's also walkthrough rooms not on learning paths

Actually

[mossy river]

My brother did it like that

He did an IT apprenticeship, worked for two different companies
Then he got a few jobs in IT doing various support positions

Then he got more experience and got better paid roles, moved to different companies, kept getting better roles
He then was attenting University while working for a place (full time work and full time education)

He then graduated University with like 6 years of experience at a bunch of different high end companies - he had so much training, certifications and experience that people practically begged him to work at their companies, now he's moving into a security role at his current employer

Working on my startup stuff too

Everything is getting good gradually compared to a few months back not even able to find a job

For now no plans of masters but I'll see later on after gaining some experience probably ,that too if I really need to.

Anyways how many of the mods are going to the event today

[past sparrow]

I am sure there are plenty of ghost boats like that

What event is today?

[mossy river]

Self driving cars require people to have their hands on the wheel or the car will stop and we'll likely move to AI cameras in cars as requirements to measure that a person is awake

[rapid merlin]

Isn’t it defcon ?

Or am I tripping

[mossy river]

Defcon las vegas

i cant forget the tesla incident of the guy who had an obsession with self driving cars

Driving is fun, especially street racing

Jk

[digital estuary]

ill be driving a shitbox

i think its a VW Golf Mk II

not sure which car im getting but all i know is it will definitely be a shitbox

[mossy river]

Honestly I think the roads would be much safer because I drive everyday and 90% of the time there is a problem with a driver

[rapid merlin]

oh so you will be having self driving cars or what cars do you like

[digital estuary]

any really old cars

[tidal sierra]

A classic

Not bad tbh

[digital estuary]

as long as theyre in nice condition

Personally, i don't get why companies are allowed to test self driving software on the road that's in beta stage, still

[tidal sierra]

@mossy river what u drive

[past sparrow]

[mossy river]

It has been tested privately, it's still in beta because they're likely doing data collection (also beta testing gives them a fallback in liability and reputation if there is an issue).
There's always something random that happens that you won't find in testing

I'm just glad that where i live, the rules are more strict compared to the US. Here cars would need to have extra sensors installed for example, like LIDAR, so just safer in general. Especially during bad weather conditions etc

But i read recently they are thinking of making those rules less strict

[glacial berry]

Well, I will be back, and I learned a new thing on my "Natural" Trip, too much grass will make you sick 👍 and after a while like a week or 2 you will get adapted (I became a grass after living with it for 10 days and now I can speak grass) 😶

[cosmic pendant]

If you hear people start talking about using smart road markers, they can be spoofed and that's dangerous

Hey, I’m trying to join the room Advent of Cyber 1 [2019] remotely via OpenVPN.
I’ve successfully connected to the VPN (tun0 is up), and I can ping the target machine.

But the issue is — port 3000 is always closed, so I can’t access the web app at http://<IP>:3000.
I’ve waited more than 5 minutes, rescanned using Nmap, and even redeployed the machine multiple times — same result every time.

Anyone else facing this issue, or is the room broken on backend? #room-help

[broken plaza]

yes

[topaz sedge]

College was so boring istfg

SQLMAP takes years to just work

😢

[mortal ether]

It's doing time based blind SQL Injection in that screenshot

https://portswigger.net/web-security/sql-injection/blind#exploiting-blind-sql-injection-by-triggering-time-delays

[broken plaza]

ohh

well SQLMap said me something bad now

[broken plaza]

is there anyway to speed up the process?

it will take me years to get just 1 table literally

[slow cloud]

after struggling for a few hours i finally was able to add icons in my polybar

[broken plaza]

[mortal ether]

The delay is done on purpose, that's kind of the whole idea behind how this vulnerability can be exploited

The link i sent explains it

[tidal sierra]

Where did u go

[broken plaza]

oohh okay thanks for explanation
