[dim crypt]

tysm i hope i get a laptop ong

[knotty valve]

Just cause you're US based doesn't mean you can get away with everything

[river garden]

well that didnt work

[dim crypt]

u can get away with stuff outside it kinda

[knotty valve]

Shapes got booted off of discord for breaking laws and platform ToS

[dark wolf]

That's controversial and now has become a matter of money and other things

If you pay off people enforcing the rules they don't get enforced

[knotty valve]

Which is why the sector I work for exists

We don't care who you are, we will threaten to liquidate your company if you don't comply

Optus was a perfect example of "we don't give a fuck"

[dark wolf]

AU takes things more seriously

I have a former co-worker who moved there 15 years ago

he loves it

[knotty valve]

Thankfully so

[dim crypt]

i mean let’s be real i think that ppl here are nicer than that

[uneven nexus]

you cant really ddos someone's ip anyways unless they turned off their firewall

[winged nimbus]

and don't most isps do a good job at blacklisting ips that do ddos?

[rapid merlin]

Have you tried turning it off and on again

[uneven nexus]

probably based on the fact they block me doing a scan without VPN because they think IM ddosing lol

via nmap

[gusty inlet]

Should I get a Kinder?

[rapid merlin]

That's cool

I've been chilling too

[dark wolf]

oh, i thought it was morning there lol, afternoon here

[gusty inlet]

The pic you sent the other day is so much of a meme material.

[dark wolf]

Which one?

[gusty inlet]

The one at the pool.

[dark wolf]

[dark wolf]

I'm not interesting enough to be a meme

[dark wolf]

I won't get mad though, if you wanna have fun with it

[oblique loom]

Which is real which is the fake?

[uneven nexus]

right

[rapid merlin]

I loved pokemon when I was little

[oblique loom]

Its easy to tell

[gusty inlet]

Ok, you tell me if you want it deleted.

[oblique loom]

Look closer at the labels

[gusty inlet]

[uneven nexus]

wth is z

[oblique loom]

Emerald is the real cartridge. Yup lol

[uneven nexus]

its right

i just zoomed in it has a z for the copy right thing 💀

wait emerald is real

f

[oblique loom]

I saw no esrb rating

[knotty valve]

One has the official sticker the other doesnt

[oblique loom]

Ypu

Yup

Also, the seal is wrong

[dark wolf]

What you never zopyrighted anything?

[uneven nexus]

Lol

[oblique loom]

Bit giveaway is the back

Nothing

The real one

[knotty valve]

Also I didn't think the cartridges had that big of make text

I could be wrong since I haven't played pokemon from that era since I was 5

[oblique loom]

If I switched the backplate with an authentic one I could sell the fake as a real

[knotty valve]

Lmao

[dark wolf]

Welcome @tiny jungle please make sure to read the #rules especially the one regarding messaging requests!

[oblique loom]

Better disguised

[knotty valve]

Wouldn't there be some way to tell internally?

[oblique loom]

Nope

[knotty valve]

Like how we use checksums for modern software

[oblique loom]

Its still pokemon sapphire

No one gonna do all that work lol

[knotty valve]

Thought there'd have been some difference tbh in the integrity lol

[dark wolf]

I want Pokeman Uranium

[oblique loom]

If you open it up

[rapid merlin]

I want every pokemon

[oblique loom]

And compare the chipset

[knotty valve]

Whatever you do, don't close the case

[oblique loom]

To a real one

[knotty valve]

Lmao

[oblique loom]

There ya go

[knotty valve]

That's nice to know

I don't really collect Pokemon stuff anymore

[oblique loom]

Im actually gonna do that

Since it's fake n all

Gonna open it up

[knotty valve]

Did they have a way to tell if the screws were tampered with?

Like that blue filament stuff

[oblique loom]

Tbh I bought for my future kid as a gift with the SP

[knotty valve]

Nice

[oblique loom]

The emerald version is for me tho

[dark wolf]

7 round trip, 2200 feet gain

[fervent cove]

fuck that id die

[rapid merlin]

Thats so real 🙂

[fervent cove]

i can pick up heavy ass things but would die on that much hiking

[dark wolf]

start at 8500 feet or so, peak at 10,300ft

[fervent cove]

is the oxygen level difference noticable

[dark wolf]

nope, not till over 12k, biggest one here is 11,916

but i did whitney last year, above 13k was bad, i had an oxygen can, small can, was great

[fervent cove]

damn

[dark wolf]

I lead hikes and show people the way

[fervent cove]

id hold ya back

ill stick to benching 315 and doing a slow 10min walk on the treadmill

[dark wolf]

Usually have between 4-24 people .. i stay with the back and make sure people can catch their breath and enjoy it

idc how long it takes, be out in nature longer, where the problem

[fervent cove]

heat is the problem

[dark wolf]

not at 8500 feet, its 75 degrees there, 105 here

[fervent cove]

i did a 4mile walk in a nature reservation last saturday and that bitch was melting me

ooooo

[dark wolf]

At least you got out

[fervent cove]

yeah it was beautiful

living in a city kinda does you in lowkey

[dark wolf]

yeah, takes me an hour to get to where i go but its worth it

[rapid merlin]

[dark wolf]

Meeting strangers for a nice long walk in the forest is quite a lot of fun.

[rapid merlin]

I LOVE forests

Good stuff

[crystal mauve]

Jungle > forest

[rapid merlin]

Not been in a jungle

I've slept in a forest before

[crystal mauve]

They are both lovely , the jungle weather can be tough tho

Which one ?

I’ve only been to Costa Rican rain forest , i think that qualifies as jungle

[orchid tusk]

Jungles are great walking through during the day, but man they scared the hell out of me at night when I was younger and got to have a vacation in Costa Rica lol

[rapid merlin]

I just got a message from toasters cat, very informative x

[orchid tusk]

@grok how reliable is this? 🤔

[crystal mauve]

Yeah I heard a howler monkey near by that was scary af

Thought it was a big cat

[rapid merlin]

From Toasters Cat

Writing to me in morse code

[orchid tusk]

Need a grok bot asap in THM, would take maybe a day before it melts down 😭

[rapid merlin]

Telling me what was for dinner

"You will not believe these hoomans"

That's not even all of it

[orchid tusk]

I can just imagine someone in THM: “Hey grok, help me solve this backwards rot cipher” and it proceeds to melt tf down lol

[winged nimbus]

it will start asking for help hacking roblox accounts

[orchid tusk]

I swear every CTF I’ve been in since 2022 has had a rot cipher, actually evil whoever made that 😭

[rapid merlin]

Do you go to the forest often?

[dark wolf]

I did the last few years, but i've been lazy this year, need to get off my butt and go out there.

plus people come with me and like hiking with me so im being bad and depriving them too

[rapid merlin]

Yeah if I had one closer I would go more often. When I was younger I would go all the time.

[dark wolf]

thats why i scheduled one for saturday

[rapid merlin]

Ah

Wheres my invite

[dark wolf]

in my fb group lol, only 41.7k members

[rapid merlin]

Damn

Imagine if 40K people went on a hike at the same time

That wasn't even all of it

[dark wolf]

lol i only get 5-25 people on my hikes

[rapid merlin]

i did like 3/4 i think but now school is starting

so need to lock in to that for a sec

also i bought a cysa voucher since it was on like 200 so i have a bunch of stuff i need to prioritize

[oblique loom]

What? lol

[uneven nexus]

i misread the name and thought it was a writeup on event horizon becuase i got stuck on that one on the last 2 questions

[oblique loom]

Ah

Nope, sorry

Maybe in the furture

[uneven nexus]

you should try it is a decently hard blue team one

[oblique loom]

This is reverse engineering

[uneven nexus]

more forensics though

[oblique loom]

Ah, blue team... the part of the job that disqualified me from getting a position

[uneven nexus]

f

what happened

[oblique loom]

I asked for feedback

[tidal sierra]

Wot happened

[oblique loom]

They said,

My cyber offense skills are pretty good

But, I lack blue team exp

[tidal sierra]

[uneven nexus]

that kinda happened to me in 2023 except i just completely bombed the blue team int lol

[oblique loom]

They did say I could be a really good pentester if I keep it up

I like to think I try my best

True

[tidal sierra]

So in order to be good in red , we need to be good in blue too?

[oblique loom]

Uhm... not really

but

[uneven nexus]

define good

[oblique loom]

depends on what is being asked of the position

[tidal sierra]

Job ready

[uneven nexus]

no

[tidal sierra]

Cool

[uneven nexus]

I dont think so then

[oblique loom]

Is it Cyber Analysis?

Then yes

[uneven nexus]

i dont think someone who is in blue team would need to be able to do a pentest to be a good blue teamer

unless the role is a mix or something

[oblique loom]

Sometimes it is

[tidal sierra]

Ohhhh

[oblique loom]

It's common and easier to start a career in this field as a Cyber Analyst

So yes, blue team exp is good.

I am opposite

I was greyhatter

long time ago

[wary ocean]

Blue team is what no one wants to do so it's more entry level too

[uneven nexus]

id love to do malware analysis

so

[oblique loom]

Yea, its how to start

get your foot in the door

[uneven nexus]

its more like lower level blue team no one wants to do

like tier 1 soc

[wary ocean]

Depends cuz ik some engineers that started doing programming and swapped to red team

[oblique loom]

Gotta start somewhere

[wary ocean]

Just depends on what's in market when you go to apply. Though both is good to know

[soft sky]

Hey .

[oblique loom]

Red Team is mostly contracts

Its not like

full-time full-time work

[wary ocean]

Idk, that's what they said so I just took their word on it

[oblique loom]

Blue team is full time

[soft sky]

Guys am starting to learn ethical hacking

[dark wolf]

That's why you gotta do the subscription model

[soft sky]

What should i start with

[dark wolf]

make them konw once isn't enough

[wary ocean]

I'm not looking into red team atm so I didn't bother fact checking

[oblique loom]

I'll keep that in mind once I can get to that position

[wary ocean]

#start-here if you haven't already

[oblique loom]

Still trying to enter the field

Even with all my background n crap

[wary ocean]

CS is just a game of how many ppl you know imo

[soft sky]

Ok thank u

https://tenor.com/view/genos-eye-gif-18451684

lock in

[gritty bane]

Just start

You're on one platform already

[uneven nexus]

get started and learn on the way this is one of if not the best paltform for beginners

there are multiple rails in place so you dont get lost easily

[sacred elbow]

But what buy a ThinkPad and install kali linux then try to do a man in a middle attack at a starbucks ?

[uneven nexus]

....

is there a room on ethics?

[gritty bane]

Sure you can do that and spend time in a jail cell because you'll get caught

[sacred elbow]

How common is that ?

like what are the probabilities ill get caught ? (im not doing that btw)

[dark wolf]

since you just said you were gonna do it and there are fbi in here id say pretty high lol

[gritty bane]

Very high probability because firstly you don't even know what you're doing

You'd be like a lit up Christmas tree

[sacred elbow]

LMAOOO

so how do i learn and start. Im a welder LOL im tired of working under the sun

[dark wolf]

I would not be surprised if you started seeing a white van parked outside your place of residence

first change the mentality from illegal to legal

[sacred elbow]

Now lets be real. Im not that important

[gritty bane]

But I thought the FBI used cool black sedans and wore suits and sunglasses?

[dark wolf]

Start with the training here, it is great training

[gritty bane]

🗿 🗿 🗿

[dark wolf]

Pre-Security tells you everything you need to know about how it all works

well the basics 🙂

[uneven nexus]

if you want real consistent money with actual hacking and not carding and that other crap you probably are going to need to be legal

[sacred elbow]

Ok so what the other guys were talking about...."Blue Team"

[gritty bane]

Defensive security

A game of whack-a-mole but on a computer

[sacred elbow]

????

[dark wolf]

Staring at logs

watching alerts

taking action when you see something

[oblique loom]

That not how it would work

You need a legit router to be disguised

[sacred elbow]

Logs and alerts. Like looking at Ip traffic ?

[dark wolf]

Nope, SIEM systems, security systems

[uneven nexus]

yes looking at ip traffic reverse engineering malware making secure infrastructure etc

[oblique loom]

You observe the routers traffic

[uneven nexus]

its a wide field

[oblique loom]

Assuming people connect to it

Airport is good place

[uneven nexus]

possibly even makign sure company is following gov regulations in regards to security

[sacred elbow]

Now that is new to me

[uneven nexus]

look up GRC

[sacred elbow]

I heard of people buyin sim cards and using a burner phone as hotspot as well ? whats that about

[oblique loom]

Can confirm they don't lol

Short n shorts most times lol

T-shirt

[gritty bane]

Sounds like something a fed would say to avoid suspicion..

[oblique loom]

Unless fieldwork

[oblique loom]

I've done volunteer work for law enforcement agencies

1 federal

[sacred elbow]

So if i keep hanging out here ill learn the basics

[oblique loom]

Maybe

Or could just get drunk and hangout

Like a bbq

Lol

[sacred elbow]

cuz rn im just using chat gbt and youtube

[sacred elbow]

BBQ sounds good

[uneven nexus]

thats like walkingin place

[pure pelican]

....

[uneven nexus]

youtube is only slightly better than chatgpt for this

just go on thm and learn something

[oblique loom]

Think, how would you fix a car if you don't work on a broken car

THM is that broken car

[gritty bane]

Hire a mechanic

[oblique loom]

Hire a hacker xP

[sacred elbow]

LOL CAN THE MECHANIC TEACH ME ?

[dark wolf]

So you would hire a hacker to fix your computer and install malware on it for you?

[sacred elbow]

valve cover gasket

[oblique loom]

That's not point

[sacred elbow]

head gaskets that is something im more familair with

[oblique loom]

Don't twist my words lol

[uneven nexus]

yes he will protect me from the government spies!!! /s

[dark wolf]

I'm just trying to get clarification

My bad

[oblique loom]

You won't know hacking till you try it out yourself and THM provides that environment

There

Happy

Lol

[dark wolf]

hahha yeah

[sacred elbow]

So if i just keep going THM ill get to the point that i cant trust anyone

cuz as im learning more i feel more and more naked

[oblique loom]

Whau?

What?

Idk if I read that right

[rich tangle]

Very low if you are just sniffing info on the open wireless network

[gritty bane]

I think he means paranoia

[oblique loom]

Ah

[sacred elbow]

So its not that high ?

[oblique loom]

If you setup a malicious router in a public area and it is discovered by security personnel. Yes

Depending on their tech, they would see it

But idk

[rapid merlin]

😅

[oblique loom]

Been awhile since I've done that

[rich tangle]

😂

[oblique loom]

But yes, getting caught is hig

High

[carmine oasis]

Hi good morning

[oblique loom]

Don't do anything that'll get an AR16 aimed at ya

[rich tangle]

Doesn’t it depend on what he is actually doing ?

[oblique loom]

If the BSSID is close to same, it will be very suspicious

[sacred elbow]

Well lets say i just want to see What everyone is looking at

[uneven nexus]

if you sniff wireless network beware of big russian missle attack USA nuclear war bombing

[oblique loom]

And depending on them, they will hunt

Its easy to track that shit

And if you are the airport

Hell yes they'll track it

Do hospital first

There, you have mission

Lol

[sacred elbow]

SO NOW I SHOULD DO IT ?

what happen to the men in cargo shorts

[gritty bane]

At the end of the day it's your choice whether you wanna get fined or arrested 🙏

[oblique loom]

(Omg)

[sacred elbow]

Its like yaw said if i work on a broken car ill learn how to fix other cars right ?

[gritty bane]

Yeah but you don't fucking put explosives in a car bro

[oblique loom]

Yea. That is true

[rich tangle]

Yeah I think you are ready to march your way into the NSA headquarters and set it on up 🎩

[oblique loom]

But are you willing to take that risks

If I had been caught

[carmine oasis]

I woke up this morning with a headache.

[oblique loom]

You know how bad my life will be?

Cybercrimes are punished pretty harshly

[sacred elbow]

so it really is that easy

[oblique loom]

Ofc

Its getting a2ay with it that takes skill

[rich tangle]

Yeah but they weren’t always like that

[dark wolf]

Hope you feel better

[rich tangle]

Drink some fluids

[carmine oasis]

I hacked over 1000 security Government cameras in Iran this is why I am in Germany.

[sacred elbow]

?????

[oblique loom]

See, there ya go

Everyone picks a route

[rich tangle]

I found an sql vulnerability in the isc2 website

[carmine oasis]

It is easy to be a malicious actor.

[oblique loom]

Yup

[gritty bane]

How does an organisation like that even let something silly happen lol

[oblique loom]

Nevada Medicaid did

[rich tangle]

It was the first thing I tried too

[oblique loom]

On their login page too

[rich tangle]

What if I do this

[gritty bane]

Well did you report it

[rich tangle]

Boom

[rich tangle]

Obviously

Immediately

[oblique loom]

I didn't in my case

[sacred elbow]

Wait you get payed for that too right

[gritty bane]

How did you even stumble upon it lol

[oblique loom]

They found my footprints and fixed it themselves lol

[gritty bane]

Ngl there's local bug bounties here and the websites they have are so bad even little Timmy could find something but I suck at web 💔

[sacred elbow]

Im little Timmy LOL

[carmine oasis]

There are a lot of Companies/ Organisations because of money they don't invest in digital security and as result they will be punished by bad actors.

[rich tangle]

It was saying unauthorized access to where I should have had access to the resources so I was like what the fuck and then I said what if I do this. And boom

[rapid merlin]

Howdy

[oblique loom]

If you do something stupid. At least keep it within the greyhat realm.

[gritty bane]

If someone else had found it the damage would've been quite bad

[oblique loom]

All I can give

[sacred elbow]

Whats greyhat

[rich tangle]

Yeah that’s why I don’t understand how an organization like that could make that mistake lol

[sacred elbow]

What do you guys think about ledger ?

[carmine oasis]

The more bigger the companies the more bigger their mistakes.

[rich tangle]

I wanted to do that one before security +

[gritty bane]

So you're saying there's rce in Google?

Wonder where that'll be..

[gritty bane]

Tbh you should do security+

[dark wolf]

[gritty bane]

I got access to a private bounty with a huge attack surface and this is unfortunately a big issue

[cold plank]

I want know that the problem is solved by only Meta team. So that's why I'm asking Meta member

[oblique loom]

Oh

XD

[gritty bane]

Then only the people assigned to your case can help with that

[oblique loom]

I was confused

[carmine oasis]

I am talking about over 1 Billion Business yearly. And Unfortunately they are vulnerable.

In the end, I chose the electronics engineering lol

I'm interested in computer programming tbh

[dark wolf]

That's awesome! I've played with those little esp-32 and connecting the parts, my dad was an electronic technician

Check out the Pre-Security lessons Isky on the site

Go through those and see if you like the style, it's great learning material and easy to follow

and you get to practice doing it

[lucid portal]

done :3

[frosty oak]

hey guys. just wondering if anyone had any laptop suggestions for cybersecurity student. one powerful enough to run multiple heavy workloads for years to come as I learn & practice.

or should I invest in a pc

[tidal sierra]

yaa i broke my own rules , i have no honor

[rich tangle]

Depends on the budget

[dark wolf]

where will you use it most?

[frosty oak]

$500

[knotty valve]

If you're wanting that, invest in a desktop

[dark wolf]

$500 won't cut it

[knotty valve]

If you're wanting something cheap that'll do just enough to learn: go a refurbished laptop

They cost between 300-700 and generally do well enough

[dark wolf]

You'll get the most bang for your buck that way

[tidal sierra]

normal 800$

[dark wolf]

But it's pricey for the best, you have to work your way up to that in life

[frosty oak]

For a desktop, right?

[merry canyon]

Hello

[knotty valve]

But handling multiple workloads you need a workstation/desktop to do so

[merry canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/joey-friends-clothes-how-you-doin-smile-gif-15936068

[frosty oak]

That makes sense

[dark wolf]

SOME people I know have like 6 laptops

[carmine oasis]

Second hand laptops are great in that price range

[frosty oak]

Thank you

[merry canyon]

I had more

[knotty valve]

I have three including my work laptop

[merry canyon]

I still have them

[tidal sierra]

yep 7 to 8 should be good enough

[merry canyon]

Broken and dusted

[dark wolf]

half the amount of some

[knotty valve]

I mainly use my server rig and workstation for anything heavy

[dark wolf]

I think mints has a few

[frosty oak]

Okay I could possibly do 7-8. Do you have any pre-built suggestions or do I have to build this myself

[knotty valve]

Yeah but does her laptops match the power of my server

I miss my old server

[carmine oasis]

I have raspberry pi 4
A mini PC
A full ATX Motherboard PC
And A 5 year old laptop

[knotty valve]

It was a beast

[tidal sierra]

build it ur self if you have experience or buy pre build if u dont

[dark wolf]

some people build a whole datacenter in their home basement

[knotty valve]

Dual threadrippers maxed out DDR4, 4 3070ti and shit tons of storage

That thing was a beast

I love my server

I plan on picking up another 2U

[dark wolf]

Im happy with my Pi

Well it’s had hallucinations but that takes the cake lol

[carmine oasis]

Gemini and Chat GPT are heavily under control of government.

[dark wolf]

Which one?

[carmine oasis]

They are limited to answer if you ask questions that are sophisticated.

Or questions that are related to malware development or exploit and etc

[carmine oasis]

Both of them

[spark verge]

Yeah, can make a esp32 marauder and surely some other things.

[dark wolf]

oh that, yes, I've had it deny me instructions on how to crack a hash

[rich tangle]

nah it's fine lol

there's some people that are adamant about calling me that and i just have to sit there and be like why

because they think it's funny but they don't realize that they aren't in high school and it's not really funny at all

you dont want to be called mints online?

#general message

I asked chat GPT and Gemini for a hierarchy structure for my cyber security notes. For example which category and subcategories should I have both Gemini and Chat GPT denying to answer my question.

Uhh I fed chatgpt some laptops and said this. Which one should I go for? I barely know anything about these things and ive been a Mac user for like 4 years that was only able to play roblox 

here’s the quick recap of your best laptop options based on our gaming-first, cybersecurity-second vibe — with prices and key specs so you don’t get lost in the sauce:

1. Hasee T8 Pro — $890 (Newegg)

• CPU: Intel i7-13700HX (16 cores, 5 GHz boost) — beast mode for multitasking & VMs
• GPU: RTX 4060 (8GB) — solid gaming, smooth AI acceleration
• RAM: 16GB DDR5
• Storage: 1TB PCIe4 NVMe SSD
• Display: 16" QHD (2560x1440), 165Hz, 100% sRGB — sharp, vibrant, silky smooth
• Why: Best CPU + great GPU + premium screen for under $900. Best bang-for-buck.

2. HP Victus 15-fb3001nr — $900 (MicroCenter)

• CPU: Ryzen AI 7 350 (Zen 4 with AI NPU, 8 cores) — good for multitasking, but slightly behind i7-13700HX
• GPU: RTX 5060 (8GB GDDR7) — ~15-20% faster than 4060, with DLSS 3.5 support
• RAM: 16GB DDR5-5600
• Storage: 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD
• Display: 15.6" FHD (1920x1080), 144Hz — solid but not QHD
• Why: Strong GPU upgrade, decent CPU, perfect if you want latest-gen features.

3. MSI Thin A15 — $930 (Newegg)

• CPU: Ryzen 9 8945HS (8-core, 16-thread Zen 4) — top-tier multitasking and gaming CPU
• GPU: RTX 4060 (8GB)
• RAM: 16GB DDR5
• Storage: 1TB PCIe SSD
• Display: 15.6" 1080p 144Hz IPS
• Weight: 4.1 lbs — more portable
• Why: Raw CPU power, light build, solid GPU — perfect if portability matters.
