This stuff scary, I will fake that I work in storage unit as cyber security at bank was too hard for me.

It will be my back story.

While really I keep working there.

[topaz falcon]

Could always do that yeah

But really I suggest to just express your boundaries and if anything suspicious, report it.

[boreal scarab]

[halcyon dune]

it doesn't really work in post soviet country

[dark wolf]

In a way, everyone in here is therapists for one another

[blissful current]

I don't have the cyber sec role on me at the bank I'm working at ...but probably I'll try for it afterwards in the Internal Job Postings

For now I have FinTech role

[topaz falcon]

[halcyon dune]

Would anyone with some experience be available to DM with me to discuss a potential vuln I found in Linux server monitoring software? Just want to talk it through as I'm fairly sure it's something, but also not really in my wheelhouse and I'm not feeling too confident while trying to report it

You should never discuss a vuln with random people on discord

[crude stump]

It’s just to be safe. let’s say someone who’s up to no good, plays the role of helping you. Then they use that new found vuln for bad.

[dark wolf]

[sick maple]

[dark wolf]

no the helmet is real

[dark wolf]

[tight trout]

Reservoir Dogs is a 1992 American crime film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino in his feature-length directorial debut. It stars Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Chris Penn, Steve Buscemi, Lawrence Tierney, Michael Madsen, Tarantino, and Edward Bunker as diamond thieves whose heist of a jewelry store goes terribly wrong. Kirk Baltz, Randy Brooks, and Steven Wright also play supporting roles. The film incorporates many motifs that have become Tarantino's hallmarks: violent crime, pop culture references, profanity, and nonlinear storytelling.

i wanted to ask, and its a bit random, but if im doing a room a day or finishing a path in a month, is it like slow? should i lock in and study harder or should i stop beating myself up over it

[tight trout]

however fast you take it is okay, its not a race, its a learning process

[uncut haven]

true

but i feel like ive been doing too little, and i keep wanting to give up or switch paths lol

[lone thistle]

No no I am knackered. Cream crackered

[exotic citrus]

giving up because it's hard or because it's not what you want to do?

[carmine oasis]

The choice is yours the faster you learn the less free time for other stuff and more chance for burn out and frustration.

You should find your own balance.

[uncut haven]

hm, true

does this make me a good little capitalist wage slave now

[blissful current]

[merry canyon]

5.1

[tight trout]

you need to verify for embed perms

[modest lava]

Yes — open ports can be exploited if a vulnerable service is running on them. In fact, exposed or misconfigured ports are one of the most common ways attackers get into systems.

[merry canyon]

is that good or bad

[blissful current]

Out of 10?

[uneven nexus]

you are using an LLm and it literally told you what we said

[knotty valve]

So you can't hack a port

[uneven nexus]

💀

[tight trout]

but the bot is down

hmph

[merry canyon]

Wdym?

[blissful current]

5.1/?

[merry canyon]

It says average grade point 5.1

[tight trout]

show screenshot

[blissful current]

What's the max grade ? 10 I believe

[tight trout]

depends, the calc i linked uses the U.S. 4 point system

[blissful current]

Ok

[tight trout]

in uni if you're over 4.0 they just don't count it higher

[celest dirge]

Uh, is the bot not working today or being worked on?

[knotty valve]

That's a 7 point

[tight trout]

it's down yeah

[knotty valve]

on 7 point my GPA is 6.3

[merry canyon]

Maybe @knotty valve can explain it

Idk how it works here

[heady nova]

that'd be my first week of november. Stayig there for long?

[blissful current]

[celest dirge]

I guess it's on break today

[knotty valve]

We just sum the total

Also ATAR exists

[modest lava]

i can if the server is vulnerable

[exotic citrus]

What walkthrough rooms are most important for free users?

[knotty valve]

No, that's a service

you're exploiting a service

not a magic number

[uneven nexus]

servers run on a service

[tight trout]

the ones in pre security and cyber 101

[blissful current]

Have been doing CEH v13 course thru my org...and writing handwritten notes

[exotic citrus]

I did all the free ones of pre security and most of the free cyber security 101 and it felt like a "new to linux" type thing. Any rooms like nmap or privesc that will help with doing ctfs? I need to work up to some harder ctfs for my class requirements.

[blissful current]

do the junior pentester rooms or the ones on the red team path you dont exactly have to do security 101

[tight trout]

there used to be a free roadmap somewhere on github, maybe see if you can find that

[blissful current]

[exotic citrus]

okay, I'll look for that. I appreciate it

[tight trout]

[blissful current]

Go thru OverTheWire wargames and Pwncollege Dojos too

[blissful current]

Wot u making

[tidal sierra]

[tight trout]

things and stuff

[mortal ether]

There are quite a few rooms for Nmap, but if you only want free ones, check this one:

[knotty valve]

post-exploitation anti-forensics and intel gathering in one

[blissful current]

[tight trout]

you sure do love anti-forensics

[knotty valve]

Yep :D

[tidal sierra]

damn so cool

[mortal ether]

Free room for PrivEsc:

[tight trout]

i shaved my legs two days ago and now i'm entering the phase when it's growing back and annoying af and itchy and rahhhhhh 😭 😭

[knotty valve]

@undone zephyr hey, saw that you're a mod, could I have the role hex color for infosec developer?

[stoic quarry]

THM staff is a bit different to the discord mods

[dire mulch]

who should I tag

[topaz sedge]

you cannot get color roles like that

[stoic quarry]

You can also just color pick the role 🤷‍♂️

[dire mulch]

why not

[stoic quarry]

Oh my dumb ass thought you wanted the HEX color value

Have you made an infosec tool?

[dire mulch]

no yes that's what want

the color

not the actual role

I want it for my server, I like the color

[stoic quarry]

Just take a screenshot and color pick it

[topaz sedge]

OH

i thought you wanted the role on this server

[dire mulch]

Alright, is there any tool for it

[stoic quarry]

Snipping tool

[worldly kettle]

When doing revs is it usefull to make a online server for all the connections?

[dire mulch]

to color pick I mean

[worldly kettle]

(Im new to this btw)

[stoic quarry]

Then use https://imagecolorpicker.com/

[dire mulch]

Thank you my guy, may you have a great day and good luck for your projects

[dire mulch]

wouldn't that be presumptious of me heheHAHA

[stoic quarry]

A bit yeah

[dire mulch]

also

it didn't work

[blissful current]

[dire mulch]

probably because you can't detect the exact color through the image

they have it in layers maybe

inner and outer pixels

so yes im gonna need to ask a mod

who should I tag? @stoic quarry

[blissful current]

KGB is online

[dire mulch]

Unfortunately it include my real name and info so can't share here. But but it has no special character or anything

Except for @ which comes by default for username

[stoic quarry]

That'll be shared on TryHackMe as well

[cold jungle]

Yeah but that is not related to my profile here. Sharing here is entirely different.

[stoic quarry]

If you say so

[knotty pendant]

Hi

Is the email on thm public?

[stoic quarry]

Shouldn't be

Do you have your OVPN file?

[eternal cypress]

Yes

[junior wraith]

dont think so they are cut off from interwebs only vpn on the network

[stoic quarry]

Don't really need to SSH in if you have your own VM with the ovpn access

[junior wraith]

yes

then you have your own attackbox

[stoic quarry]

Dont need to use the THM one

Great room

[knotty valve]

THM has CTF rooms that aren't competitive?

[safe oxide]

Yea

There are many walkthrough room

Guided challenges eh

[knotty valve]

How to tell the wild Ashlynn pays no attention to her surrounds

[safe oxide]

[knotty valve]

Wait

Is this like the challenge rooms in the PT path?

[safe oxide]

Havent started paths lol

But they gibe questions

[chilly veldt]

There's so many people in the airport

[safe oxide]

That guide

[knotty valve]

So can the fact it's got a 50 series

Lmao

[safe oxide]

Like The golden eye, mr robot , linux somthn somthn

[knotty valve]

AMD didn't make 50s

[chilly veldt]

Flying in 2 hours

[knotty valve]

That's nvidia

[safe oxide]

Radion 4070

[bleak quartz]

Where ya going

[safe oxide]

[knotty valve]

And the AMD 5XXX is old

Lmao

[chilly veldt]

Estonia

[knotty valve]

It's post Polaris

[bleak quartz]

Ooooo

[safe oxide]

Load extermination module

[bleak quartz]

They speak almost the same as us it's weird

[knotty valve]

Iirc the 5000s on AMD were the start of Navi

[chilly veldt]

I mean, it's based on Russian iirc

[safe oxide]

Not that one e™

[bleak quartz]

No

[knotty valve]

I don't think e got the joke

[safe oxide]

[knotty valve]

Lmao

Some people need the cuda cores

[safe oxide]

He doesn't doom scroll

[knotty valve]

Lmfao

[knotty valve]

I'm aware of the meme cause ML servers

[safe oxide]

[knotty valve]

It's a running joke in anywhere that discusses anything to do with GPUs

[chilly veldt]

Oh I was wrong, it's related to Finnish

[bleak quartz]

It's based off same as Finnish and iirc it's called Finno-Ugrics language family

[chilly veldt]

Yeee

[bleak quartz]

Yup

I'm Finnish and got Estonian friends but I can't understand a whole sentence of their lang not can they mine

So we just speak English lol

[knotty valve]

Yes, but that has nothing to do with some software not being able to perform as well due to the fact a lot of software designed for GPU usage uses cuda libraries and not ROCm

[bleak quartz]

It's like the rules were inverted

[chilly veldt]

Burger king is filled with people, and I don't feel like waiting too long on food

Plus I can't really leave my stuff

[knotty valve]

A lot of digital artists need NVIDIA cause nvidia is more support in their field than AMD

[bleak quartz]

Same to gaming

[knotty valve]

Very little difference on games now

[bleak quartz]

That's the only spot there 😭 ?

[knotty valve]

ROCm can translate cuda instructions in that area pretty decently

[bleak quartz]

Kinda ye but still gives an advantage in comparison

[knotty valve]

The only actual performance nvidia gives is extra cores

[bleak quartz]

To any other

[knotty valve]

That's all

[chilly veldt]

Only spot before security

That or espresso house

[knotty valve]

The cores aren't exactly better, they just waste more silicon

[bleak quartz]

Damn

[chilly veldt]

Yee

[bleak quartz]

Espresso better tho go there

[knotty valve]

Why are we talking about coffee?

[golden robin]

hi

[bleak quartz]

Speaking of which, I'll go make some lol

[knotty valve]

I completely missed everything Bella has said

Lmao

[chilly veldt]

Could do go for a lot of calories and protein than some fancy sandwich due to the flight times

[knotty valve]

Can they pay me back for the 4 coffee's I've brought in the last 6 years

Idk why I keep thinking they'll make better coffee than last time

When it's the same bland, milky shit as always

"your coffee is ass, use better tasting beans. L Bozo"

Doesn't make it taste better tho 😭

I have to get 3-4 shots for it to even be strong enough

[fierce harbor]

I enjoy the paper flavor that it comes with

[knotty valve]

I'm just addicted to caffeine

I ain't doing none of that sub 200mg a day shit

[primal prism]

no theyre just rooms for people to attempt for points, there are walkthroughs on YT, which i use when im stuck, but its fun and i get to learn anyways

[knotty valve]

I need my 1gram of caffeine

Yes

[primal prism]

it is challenges but not neccessarily the PT path

[knotty valve]

I mean the challenge rooms are also that way too

Only difference is just the points system ig

[primal prism]

yes, i said theyre challenges, the PT thing threw me off

[knotty valve]

I used the PT path as reference cause there's a few challenge rooms in there

[bleak quartz]

I put too much milk in the coffee so it's not hot enough 😭

[knotty valve]

You don't use warm milk???

[primal prism]

oh i didnt know that, ill check it out

[bleak quartz]

no

[knotty valve]

I forgot which parts have it, but shouldn't be too hard to find

[bleak quartz]

respect for that

[knotty valve]
