how are you silence you new here

[tight trout]

hiya

[toxic cairn]

Na

Iv been in the server before. Just took a long break

[rapid merlin]

you joined this server today

[mortal ether]

Lol, how does that even work. Previous chatgpt version seemed to always forget what i had said if it was more than like 5 prompts ago

[toxic cairn]

I joined cus I'm practicing my pentesting skills

[rapid merlin]

ok so are you fully new to pentesting

[tight trout]

lol idk

[toxic cairn]

I guess ya . since its been years for me

[rapid merlin]

ok so you know pentesting but now you are practicing it

[toxic cairn]

yes

my skills are very dirty

[rapid merlin]

so its great then

[tawny marsh]

kinda same for me. was a software dev for a while been been out for a few years now. studying to try to pivot into cybersecurity since it's the only thing in tech that interests me

[rapid merlin]

why you are saying to your skills like if you have believe in yourself then your skills are better then everyone

[toxic cairn]

cus I know their not great

[rapid merlin]

but make them great do hardwork and learn more and study more that you get them better

[toxic cairn]

ya

[rapid merlin]

be friends

[toxic cairn]

I perfer to walk solo person

[mortal ether]

Heh, if that's the way it worked, then all you'd need is Dunning-Kruger effect

[rapid merlin]

ok then be solo

[rapid merlin]

what do you mean by Dunning-Kruger effect

[marsh lark]

google it

[mortal ether]

I may think i'm the best basketball player in the world, but that doesn't make it true 😄

Motivation is great, but thinking you already know everything just because you believe in yourself may not be the best approach

[dark wolf]

The Professor has joined the channel

[mortal ether]

Lmao, hardly, would just be nice if it was that easy, just believing in yourself

[rapid merlin]

ok then don't believe in you self

[mortal ether]

Kind of like that saying some certification vendors tell you when you get stuck during their training

[dark wolf]

believing in yourself is only part of it, you have to do what it takes to get there

[rapid merlin]

who is the proffessor

[mortal ether]

"Just work harder", even when their machine is bugged and the cause of it not working

[dark wolf]

talo basketball youtuber who puts people to shame

[ripe sleet]

It's good to set realistic expectations for yourself

[rapid merlin]

i haven't only said this that believe in yourself but i also said this that work hard and believe in yourself

[dark wolf]

his ball handling skills are like globetrotter

[ripe sleet]

Albeit, if you think that you'll never be enough. Then you'll fall into a deep depression of sorts

You just gotta do the best that you humanely can. If you gave it your all then that's all that matters

[dark wolf]

yes, just dont give up, take a break but dont give up

you dig?

[rapid merlin]

here the man is never give up but work hard and hard

[mortal ether]

Yeah, no worries. I only said it in a joking way, like it would be nice if all you had to do is believe in yourself. Definitely not meant as a criticism of what you said

[dark wolf]

i prefer working in the laziest manner possible

[ripe sleet]

Life is a war against yourself at the end of the day. Other people don't matter in this war. It's only what you yourself can do, not what others can do. Or what others can do better than you, because there are perspectives that you can provide to a specific field that another person cannot provide

[rapid merlin]

ok its good i also haven't start a fight with you

[ripe sleet]

So TLDR, don't focus on what others can do better than you. Instead focus on yourself and how you can improve yourself in the long span of time

It just takes one step

[rapid merlin]

i think that you are a motivational speaker so keep it up my bro

[ripe sleet]

[marsh lark]

looking at his message, probably

🤷

[rapid merlin]

and what about you

[marsh lark]

no

I'm not participating

[rapid merlin]

why

any reason

[marsh lark]

because I don't want to?

[rapid merlin]

ok i want to but i don't know about ctf

[marsh lark]

well, you gotta learn first before participating in CTFs

[rapid merlin]

yes you are right first learn then participate

[tidal sierra]

@marsh lark yo i completed jr pentester, what to do next, any recommendations

[marsh lark]

how are you neophite tho?

[tidal sierra]

[blissful current]

[stiff geyser]

Probably

[rapid merlin]

so are you creating a team or participating alone

[stiff geyser]

Not sure yet why

[rapid merlin]

i thought that i would want to be in a team

[stiff geyser]

Are you doing it

[rapid merlin]

yes i want to

[stiff geyser]

Well do you know anything about blue teaming

Htb is said to be harder that thm

[rapid merlin]

i don't know much about all of this but i only know programming and networking so if its hard then its ok one day i will participate

[stiff geyser]

Yeah you should probably learn about it before doing it

[spark verge]

It 100% is harder. lol

Sometimes I hop over to confirm I still suck a whole bunch, not that my experience on tryhackme has been anything also but confirming I suck, but Tryhackme does it more gently.

Would you recommend I go into army cyber ops for cybersecurity?

[blissful current]

Why not

[silver sky]

Better than infantry 😂

[blissful current]

I'd immediately go if I get a chance lmao

[snow path]

Yeahh I’d prefer not to go to the infantry

[pseudo python]

Hey

Can anyone provide me with a subscription for try hack me??
Or any giveaway is there??

[snow path]

If I go in cyber ops I’d get cyber security experience

[silver sky]

Aye

[snow path]

Which then I could use when I get out

[silver sky]

Exactly 😂

[snow path]

Do you think I should do that?

[silver sky]

There are occasionally giveaways and competitions both on the site and here.

But nothing at the moment

[silver sky]

It's completely up to you!

It's not a bad idea

[pseudo python]

Okk thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @silver sky (current: #39 - 268)

[snow path]

I might do it, I was planning on going anyways

At least this would help me get ahead

[silver sky]

If your heart is set on it, why not. Free paid training, state pension, free dental and medical etc

[snow path]

Yeah, I grew up with family in the military so they kinda passed me the torch

[mortal ether]

I know some people here that are working for the army 4 days per week and going to college for 1 day per week to get a bachelor's degree in cybersecurity

Never heard them complain, they seem to like it

[silver sky]

Well don't do it for that reason, state pays less than private.

Do it for what you'll gain

If you want to join the military, get a fucking trade

Unless you enjoy freezing to death in a foxhole then join the infantry 😂

[snow path]

Would I even need a degree honestly?

The military would pay for all my certifications and I’d already have experience and military grade training

I feel like that matters more than a degree

[mortal ether]

I can't answer that question for you, but i'd consider it if they're willing to pay for it

can't really hurt when applying for jobs afterwards

or if you stay in the military, you might get higher pay if you have a degree

If not, at least I won't have to live with crippling debt as long as some others have from student loans. XD

[rapid gust]

are you interested in red teaming? blue? devops?

[spark verge]

And computers do that.

[snow path]

Ahhh, sounds like you are doing good then

[spark verge]

I think thats best.

[snow path]

Forensics as well

[spark verge]

In the industry or aspiring as well?

[rapid gust]

i did email forensics today for a phishing email i get so excited

first job, i just got promoted out of internship

[snow path]

Maybe once i'm out of the military i'll join the fbi, police forensics, orsomething

[spark verge]

I have always been interested in patterns and investigative thinking, is why I think I might enjoy forensics.

[rapid gust]

u in navy wisdom?

[spark verge]

Thats awesome! congrats!

[snow path]

Nah, i'm about to enlist in the army for cyber ops

[rapid gust]

if u have some spare $$$ blue team level 1 was a really cool cert wiggle

[spark verge]

I fully plan to get a few before I finish school.

I want to have at least 3 by the time I finish.

[rapid gust]

yeah i almost went into navy for cyber just didnt wanna do bootcamp

[snow path]

I'm hyped asf for bootcamp

[rapid gust]

well i found blue team level 1 a really good intro for soc/forensics blue team stuff

[snow path]

It would be a awesome experience

[rapid gust]

the CEH i didnt really care for XD

[snow path]

Except for the part where I wake up early asf

[rapid gust]

both of them at the time i was working two bartenidng jobs + two degrees i didnt have time to actually buckle down and study for the tests

[spark verge]

I tried to go to the military when I was 21, my at the time wife was a shlut, and I wanted to get away and not make decisions in life.
But, they didn't want to let me go full active duty as a GED holder, I would need 13 college credits, but I wanted quick change, I was working 82 hours a week in a factory at the time. lol

[rapid gust]

so i never took em just completed the courses

[spark verge]

I instead became a marijuana salesman.

[rapid gust]

i got up to 45 and wanted to blow my brains out LOL

nvm 82 hours a week

[snow path]

I have a ged

[spark verge]

@rapid gust Did you go to school and bootcamp? or one of them?

[snow path]

Why didn't they let you join?

[rapid gust]

i got two associates one in cyber one in network admin, then i convinced a school out of country to fast track me to my masters i had to submit my grades and letters of recco

[snow path]

I don't see how you would get college credit with a ged

[spark verge]

it was about 13 years ago, and they said they wanted a smaller army "smarter" army.
Which I tested great, they was thoroughly shocked at how well I did not using note paper or anything.

I would need to go to college, obtain 13 credits, then I go full-active.

[rapid gust]

so now ill get a masters for under 40grand out of my own pocket i found a really nice path i have no debt at the moment i pay as i go!

[spark verge]

otherwise, a high school diploma.

but with a GED alone, I could only go reserve.

and I wanted a life change, not weekend getawats.

getaways*

[snow path]

Thats true, you think they'll do the same to me?

I'm not tryna go to college lmao

at least not yet

[spark verge]

I doubt it.

[rapid gust]

try online community wisom

[spark verge]

The state of the world, is a lot different.

[rapid gust]

thats the only schooling i could stomach

[snow path]

[rapid gust]

like self paced online is the way to go, in person/live slowed me down so badly

[snow path]

Good for me then

[quick blaze]

FUCKIN WATER BEATER

[snow path]

Like online college?

[rapid gust]

yup

[snow path]

I'm BROKE

[rapid gust]

work hahah

[spark verge]

For sure, my classes are online and when they drop the work its like a month at a time, and I just blast it out over 2 or 3 days.

[snow path]

I'll work in the army to get college

[rapid gust]

exactly if youre smart you just crush it

[snow path]

I ain't spending all that on something I don't want to do

[spark verge]

Where do you live wisdom? USA?

[snow path]

Yup

[spark verge]

Your family well off?

[rapid gust]

like wiggle says if u have a good work ethic/intelligence you could probablly crush a semester in three days it would be difficult af but you could do it

[snow path]

It's complicated

But I'd say my dad is

[spark verge]

Just asking in terms of fafsa.

[rapid gust]

fafsa is fire

[spark verge]

if you're young as I assume.

[snow path]

I'm 20

[spark verge]

I dont pay anything for my school.

[rapid gust]

oo niuce

[spark verge]

But it goes off my household income, not my parents, but if it did, they make 0,000,000 a year.

probably more negative balance realistically. haha

[snow path]

What is a fafsa

[spark verge]

Financial Aid

[snow path]

Ohh okay

[rapid gust]

did u have good high schoo lgrades or no

[spark verge]

if you havent looked into it, check it out, check out online schools as well.

[summer vigil]

Hi everyone, I'm building a homelab. I have installed sysmon and splunk on Win 10 machine, but I'm not able to integrate sysmon to the splunk. I selected data input but it's giving me page not found error message. Could you guide me?

I haven't installed Forwarder, splunk and sysmon are in the same Win 10 machine, I'm trying to collect logs locally.

[stiff geyser]

You need the forwarder to forward the logs

[summer vigil]

I was following this video, https://youtu.be/0LuMZlPBdtI?si=YZwQVH5Vt_Qt31kn

In this he haven't used the forwarder

[warm kettle]

You need to use the forwarder if you have different machines for collecting logs and Splunk server

You don't need forwarder if you are working on a single machine

[summer vigil]

I'm in a single machine

[warm kettle]

You can create an app in it and enter logs path in config files

[summer vigil]

Could we chat in a room? I would like to build this project and your guidance would help me

[stiff geyser]

https://tryhackme.com/room/splunklab

Here this should help you

[summer vigil]

Okay

are they doing it rn?

how to avail tho?

im not sure if it's avaliable rn ngl

[warm kettle]

It's available

[brittle merlin]

oh yeah

https://account.shodan.io/billing/member

[slender walrus]

is it worth it tho?

[brittle merlin]

imo 100%

[warm kettle]

It's definitely worth it if you are into cyber security

You can search the entire internet connected devices

Only which are exposed and has public ip tho

There are lot of filters and advanced search too

[slender walrus]

ohhhh interesting will get it later then

bro I got a meterpreter shell on the machine and it crashed lol everytime I exploit the machine I got system and it crashed lol

I hate RELEVENT machine so much

[native bloom]

Yea it is 🙂

[hard dragon]

I got it guys!

finally

[knotty valve]

Great job Mantea

[knotty valve]

I feel like shodan has lost the spark it used to have compared to other groups like CenSys and SecurityTrails

[dawn parcel]

Guys

Is there a find team room?

[native bloom]

Yeah but it’s still a very good tool for security purposes:)

[knotty valve]

Yeah but the mix of incorrect detections and outdated scans make it no better than just throwing Wapalyzer and Synk at it 😅

[gritty bane]

but shodan is shodan..

[knotty valve]

I don't use tools cause of their namesake

I use tools for accuracy

And if I can get better accuracy from another set of tools, then I'll do exactly that

[slender walrus]

hello ahm can i ask a question?

[gritty bane]

i suppose there will always be an alternative to something that is better in a lot of ways 🤷

[knotty valve]

Shodan used to be top of the game for ages

[gritty bane]

but personally i found shodan helpful because i have access to a bounty with a veerryyy large scope

[noble nova]

Good question I am curious too

[knotty valve]

I just feel like they haven't done anything to maintain in late

[knotty valve]

They company gives you Configs for this

I do VDPs too

[gritty bane]

oh no its a bounty in my country and they just have scope and stuff like they would on other platforms

[native bloom]

Sure that. A lot of people still use certain tools because of their name and market position or just because they are used to it.. no problems with that.. I also still prefer shodan but just because I didn’t had the time to test other tools

[knotty valve]

Yet to have a company not supply a config for tools when scopes are extensive

[gritty bane]

ahhh you mean like that

i never questioned it really

im not big on bug bounty but i have private access to it so i just check it every now and then to see if i can spot something odd maybe

[knotty valve]

I like making sure my tools are accurate so I can better test the system where needed

[native bloom]

Better be sure then sorry 🥲

[knotty valve]

One thing that I do find that shodan does better is its ability to link to exploit-db and other tools

It has its pros definitely

[gritty bane]

oh yeah speaking of that apparently they have something new last i checked that is a cve browser of sorts

did you see that one

[knotty valve]

Yeah

They've had it for a while now I believe

[gritty bane]

yeah i don't use shodan very often but it was cool to see

[knotty valve]

Agreed

Wish sploitus got the love it deserves </3

As mid tier as that service is, it is a quick PoC grab when you need it

[gritty bane]

oh yeah i have been seeing them a lot lately during the new htb machine releases

pretty reliable too its nice

[knotty valve]

They're neat but under maintained

Works great for PoCs but there's Trickest which has a massive hub of CVE PoCs

https://github.com/trickest/cve

[gritty bane]

sheeeeshhh and all of those are poc's

thanks for the resource actually this is gonna be veerry useful

[mortal ether]

Morning, chat

[slender walrus]

morning

[knotty valve]

No probs

[slender walrus]

i have a question :3

[mortal ether]

Shoot

[slender walrus]

does learning all the paths from pre security to red teaming like having all certificates
is it equivalent to years of experience in cyber sec? all in all ? or how does it usually goes
?
cause based on the skill matrix
that i see, there is entry, then ,junior, mid, senior level, does this directly translates to the level of experience one has in cyber security ?

[gritty bane]

take it as a reference point and not the exact measure of your skill tbh

[mortal ether]

nooo, it's a great way to learn, but it's not equivalent to having certifications

and experience

[digital estuary]

the path completion certificates don't hold any value, treat it more like a medal or badge

[slender walrus]

ohhhh

[knotty valve]

I'd also recommend looking into trickest's tools, some of them can be pretty useful

[slender walrus]

i see2 noted

[knotty valve]

I've used commix once or twice before

[digital estuary]

and skill matrix shouldn't really be used as an measure of your skill 1:1

[gritty bane]

which ones are those

[quick blaze]

do i get back on THM 👀

[slender walrus]

soo kind of like a foundation where you can spring from

[gritty bane]

ive never heard of them tbh

[slender walrus]

??

[quick blaze]

i finally feel like doing THM again after a whole month 👀

[knotty valve]

https://trickest.com/docs/library/vulnerabilities/tools

They have a bunch of other tools for various other tasks

[loud orbit]

Is any body at the level to do rats ? I’m just interested bc of the expertise and experience you need to make them

[mortal ether]

People from HR likely won't know what TryHackMe is, but they will know certification names like OSCP, even if they don't even know what OSCP is exactly

[loud orbit]

Possibly @mortal ether

Ik your a high lvl

Skill lvl *

[digital estuary]

skill matrix is affected by what challs & rooms you do
you could be insanely good at privilege escalation and the skill matrix would say your priv.esc. point is low

so yeah, partially

[gritty bane]

wait ive actually used some of these before lol

dnsreaper and commix i think i used it once

[slender walrus]

I see, thank you very much for answering my question, i guess i will just build upon the things that i learned then

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @mortal ether (current: #235 - 38)

[mortal ether]

I'm not a programmer, so no. But even if i was, i wouldn't be helping people to make RATs, tbh

[gritty bane]

dnsreaper is definitely handy for me though sheeesh didnt know they made it

[knotty valve]

Some of the tools listed are adaptions of others

[gritty bane]

isnt that basically everything in tech lol

[loud orbit]

Oh oh ,na I don’t want help making one lol ,the risk is to great ,I’m legal

I just like to learn

[slender walrus]

i see okay, thank you, i will keep it in mind

[mortal ether]

There's a difference between the certs of completion you get from doing THM modules and actual certifications as well. The first one has basically no value, other than maybe as a talking point in interviews once you get passed the interview with HR

[knotty valve]

True that lmao

[slender walrus]

how does one get into entry level jobs for cyber security then? aside from the professional certifications ?

[loud orbit]

What u been doing in the mean time ?

[loud orbit]

So are you saying that the try hack me skills and labs ,proof etc won’t really add to anything compared to certs ?

[knotty valve]

This exists too
https://github.com/trickest/resolvers/blob/main/resolvers-extended.txt

[mortal ether]

Easiest is to start out on the blue side, from what i hear. The job market is much bigger for blue team jobs than it is for red team and pentest jobs

[knotty valve]

For what purpose someone needs this, idk

But it exists 😂

[mortal ether]

Keep in mind, entry level cybersecurity jobs aren't the same as entry level IT jobs

[loud orbit]

For sure defo especially in the UK

[mortal ether]

For entry level cybersecurity jobs, it's often expected you have some experience already. So maybe start out doing helpdesk or sysadmin or something like that for a while

Work your way up

[slender walrus]

so its gonna be like a transition kind of thingy?

i really want to be in the red team 🙁

[loud orbit]

Wow really ,I thought try hack me was industry recognised?

[slender walrus]

i see, noted

[quick blaze]

a little bit of everything

[loud orbit]

Most likely or internal if your lucky

[gritty bane]

its a highly competitive field tbh and it really doesnt happen instantly, it can take years for you to be in the spotlight

[mortal ether]

I mean, you will learn skills, right. So it's still great. But when applying for jobs, the cert of completion for a THM module doesn't mean much at all.

[loud orbit]

That’s kinda what I’m having to do 🥲🥲🥲

[mortal ether]

Great to gain knowledge and learn skills. Not great for job interviews, basically

[gritty bane]

what will help you alot though is connections, just go on discord and linkedin and find some people that you can connect with and secure your place somewhere

also blogs are very good to show off your experience

[loud orbit]

But that can prove I have the skills right to a EXTENT ? Bc what would yu advise if I Carnt get certs rn ?

I should hopefully be going on a ict apprenticeship lol

[gritty bane]

the reason tryhackme certificate of completions are useless is because anyone can get them

[loud orbit]

Damn true

[gritty bane]

you can just google answers for rooms online and boom you have that certificate of completion

[mortal ether]

Yeah, many people that are red teaming or pentesting now started out on the blue team side. Not many companies hire pentesters without previous experience

[loud orbit]

Anyone can just click through and google right

[loud orbit]

Zero do pretty much lol

[mortal ether]

It's a well know name, but there's still a difference between the cert of completion you get and THM's actual certifications like SAL1 and PT1

[slender walrus]

for example, i have experience in ahm, SEO like 1-4 years, and then i want to change my career to cyber security,
would it be possible for me to land an entry job using the knowldge from thm learning paths ? or do i need to focus on getting a job on help desk or sysadmin first?

[mortal ether]

But even those are relatively new certs, they don't have that much HR-recognition yet

Compared to let's say OSCP

[gritty bane]

both are worthless /j

[mortal ether]

It takes a while for certs to become HR-recognized

[slender walrus]

i see, noted thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @gritty bane (current: #339 - 22)

[loud orbit]

Whatt guyssss

Am I hearing

Making feel like I’m wasting my time lol

[mortal ether]

It doesn't necessarily prove anything, because how does an employer know you didn't just copy and paste the answers?

[knotty valve]

If you are willing to run high risk, go into the Navy for cyber

[mortal ether]

It's not like it's an actual exam, right

[slender walrus]

so that is how it is, man gotta keep grinding then

[knotty valve]

I don't recommend

But it's an option if you need to get into cyber within the year

[loud orbit]

I considered it once but due to circumstances that’s never a option for me

😂😂

Especially in the uk I wouldnt lol

[knotty valve]

I wouldn't recommend it, even in the perfect world

[slender walrus]

why is it high risk tho?

[loud orbit]

Are they worth anything them certs ? Are they expensive?

[knotty valve]

You can be deployed to war at a moment's notice

It goes from nice chill job to your life is now at risk 24/7

[loud orbit]

Exactly like bye 😂😂😂

[mortal ether]

If you don't have any certs yet, and are looking to get your foot in the door for job interviews, i would start by looking at which certs companies are requesting in your local area

Starting with those as your first certs to get would be a better idea, most likely

[digital estuary]

is it true you get a really amazing meal the day before you get notified of deployment?

[naive violet]

Also think of it like "these make you look like a better candidate"
Not like "these are what you must have to apply"

[knotty valve]

^

[knotty valve]

Depends on the country ig

And deployment type

[digital estuary]

GOD i love the beans my country's military makes

i got the recipe from an random guy

[knotty valve]

Sometimes there's no time for formalities and rapid deployment is a must

These cases are outlined in the DEFCON (not the convention) chart

us

[loud orbit]

Do u have certs ?

[knotty valve]

What about america

[mortal ether]

No, not yet. So as usual, take whatever the random person on the internet says FWIW

I'm repeating advice that was given to me and that i've seen other people give in the chat here

I'm doing the CPTS course right now, might do the exam after that to get my first cert

[quick blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-confused-curious-what-emmet-gif-13480300

[loud orbit]

What is the purpose of Shodan ? I was toying around with it yesterday is it just for osi?

[knotty valve]

Attack Surface Management

See what's public and if anything is potentially containing outdated libraries or smthn

[loud orbit]

Ahhh ok and that can be anywhere right ? And you could actually exploit what in there bc it shows the devices ,ip address,open ports etc ?

[mortal ether]

I wouldn't have jumped on the question, since there are a lot of people here that are more experienced to answer this

Other than maybe some short general advice, but for some reason someone asked me personally. Not sure why 😄

[knotty valve]

It could possibly lead to exploitation, but a lot of the information is guestimates on shodans behalf like how nmap guesses OS types

Sometimes it just doesn't even know a site will exist but other services have already scanned it

Like Shodan's bots occasionally get blocked by my WAF

[loud orbit]

Did u pay for the course ? I had a look that looks crazy ,if it was for beginners I’d do it

[mortal ether]

Btw, you can always ask these questions in #cyber-and-careers . Plenty of people there will know more about it than me

[gritty bane]

i mean cpts is technically for penetration testing newbies

[mortal ether]

My boss pays for it

[gritty bane]

the learning material is atleast

the exam? not so much

[loud orbit]

Ahhh okok bc I’m still in the beginner stages I’d have to look more into this ,do u think it’s worth it to or no

[mortal ether]

Also, i'm getting a big student discount on the content

If you're a student, take advantage of the discount they're offering

[low parrot]

Hey yall! From someone still doing the pre-security and having a hard time getting used to linux and just the new material in general, what was your point of motivation or "tips and tricks" to keep learning without feeling blocked by the content? Although I have done some Front-End work and dabbled into networking, this stuff is difficult for me! Would love to hear the communities insight on this 🙂

[gritty bane]

learn by doing my friend

[loud orbit]

Whatttt bro u lucky ass,,,do u work like in the industry always in some way ?

[gritty bane]

it will all become muscle memory the more you utilize that knowledge

[loud orbit]

What’s the discount ?

[mortal ether]

I'm lucky my boss wants to pay for my THM sub, as well as HTB Academy and HTB Labs sub

[gritty bane]

is your boss hiring by any chance?

[mortal ether]

But it's a win win. For them it's cheaper then paying for all of the seperate training sessions i was doing before that

[loud orbit]

No fr I’ll move from the uk lol

What u work as @mortal ether

[mortal ether]

Often more expensive and quality was way worse. Only got a few hours of content instead of 100+ hours

[gritty bane]

my friend in the uk got hired because of the cpts cert we were talking about

[mortal ether]

So it's cheaper for them as well to just pay for THM and HTB

[gritty bane]

apparently cyber security is a good skill to have in the uk

[loud orbit]

Bruh I’d love to be able to pay for htb AND try hack me

get an linux virtual machine and just practice, even 5 minutes every day will do lots compared to wasting yourself away in front of an linux VM for 5 hours then never coming back

[tidal sierra]

about 37.5% in yearly plans

[loud orbit]

I’m here lol and struggling idk

[mortal ether]

I work in education, IT department

[gritty bane]

it doesnt come within a few weeks

it takes a long time

years at the very least

[tidal sierra]

check it out @loud orbit what it shows u

[loud orbit]

I just did a cyber security principles bootcamp lvl 3 mostly likely will be doing a ict apprenticeship 🤦🏽‍♂️💀

[loud orbit]

Ahhhh okok IF I get on a IT apprenticeship they better pay for HTB and THM for ME lol

[knotty valve]

Then we have me, I wasted 9 hours on encoding to never touch it again, and still remember the specifics :,)

[loud orbit]

if I show them what I wanna be and my passion they better fund it lol

[mortal ether]

There's a 25% discount right now as well for the silver package. But i got even more of a discount getting the student package instead. Which is sort of equivalent in a lot of ways to the silver package on HTB

[digital estuary]

looks like 9 hours once does wonders 👀

[loud orbit]

We’re about in the uk is he from if you don’t mind me asking I’m Birmingham

[gritty bane]

dont really wanna say yk

privacy and allat

[loud orbit]

I understand

[loud orbit]

So you had to go the IT route aswell ,so it not a bad thing if you have to go that route ?

[knotty valve]

I still remember how to do character point heuristics and I did it once, October last year, for 30 minutes

I just remember weird shit

[loud orbit]

I’m just worried about ict being shit honestly and not like cyber @mortal ether

[mortal ether]

I think i'm paying something like 8.50 euros per month for the student package, which is a pretty nice discount. (discount only applies for HTB Academy, though. Not the labs.

[knotty valve]

But I forget how to speak despite speaking for my entire life

[digital estuary]

just like me, i have really obscure fun facts

[loud orbit]

Advice guys lol

[crimson elk]

hello.

[gritty bane]

the thing is that most people that got into cyber security had experience from other technological sectors like IT so its difficult for people to start in cyber security without tech experience, difficult but doable

there is nothing you cannot achieve without hard work and dedication

[digital estuary]

did you know chernobyl reactor 4 meltdown produced 35 MWs of energy the moment before it blew up?

[quick blaze]

mfw you're from singapore

[gritty bane]

steam can be very misleadin

[knotty valve]

Did you know all car crashes actually happen in the blink of an eye because the brain stops the muscle movement of the eyelids to perceive everything all at once and the only time you close your eyes on collision due to the inertia and forward force

So by technicality

[digital estuary]

the explosion was so strong, that people from far away assumed it was fireworks, and there was a beam of light

[knotty valve]

It's a blink of an eye

[quick blaze]

fair

[knotty valve]

Neat

[mortal ether]

I started off as a sysadmin after getting an IT degree from college. Didn't really know yet that i was going to like cybersecurity that much at that point

[knotty valve]

That part I knew

[digital estuary]

did you know when you get shot, you don't actually get to hear the shot since the bullet travels faster than sound?
thats why the A-10 has an "extra" echo afterwards

[mortal ether]

Then after a few years, i decided to go for a bachelor's degree while combining that with working 4 days per week

[knotty valve]

Yep

[gritty bane]

i dont think getting shot is the same as getting shredded by the fist of god though

[mortal ether]

And now i'm allowed to specialize in cybersecurity, so they pay for cybersecurity related training

[digital estuary]

you first hear the dirt getting absolutely demolished, then the gun itself

[knotty valve]

Yah

[digital estuary]

both kill, the aftermath is the only difference

... or if someone is gonna find you

[gritty bane]

would you rather be killed or be killed but worse

[digital estuary]

i would rather get blasted by an a-10

[knotty valve]

Bullets you can survive

[gritty bane]

there still is a possibilty of surviving it actually

it depends

[digital estuary]

A-10 rounds are the size of a BEER Bottle

[knotty valve]

And 50 cals are known for exploding things with sheer impact force

[digital estuary]

if you survive ~60 rounds of an A-10 then you have to be terminator

[quick blaze]

BRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTT

[digital estuary]

BRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTT

i love that sound so much

[quick blaze]

YESSIR

[digital estuary]

❤️ ❤️ ❤️ brrrrrrttttt

[knotty valve]

Also you have to account for spread

[gritty bane]

that sound costs about 80 dollars in war thunder!

[knotty valve]

Wind, ricochet, speed decay, point of contact on the body, etc.

[gritty bane]

dont remember their prices but probably thats the price for the a10

[digital estuary]

id fancy an a10 in my garage

[quick blaze]

mfw ash says out loud everything i say in my head

[mortal ether]

Not a bad thing, no. At least not imo. Get some experience first and then switch to a cybersecurity job after getting the experience

Or stay in your current job, but ask your boss if you can specialize in cybersecurity

[knotty valve]

Also IT does teach some blue team

Especially when it comes down to access controls

[knotty valve]

Lmao

[gritty bane]

thats basically in the name, no?

[knotty valve]

Helpdesk don't really do that

They're still ICT/IT tho

[cosmic pendant]

Good Morning

[digital estuary]

morning toaster!

[knotty valve]

Morning toaster

[slate compass]

Yo fellow nerds 🙂 dont know if this is the right room for this but why is the answer 5 here?

i would have said 4

[drifting violet]

can we take notes in THM directly?

[naive violet]

i=0, i=1, i=2 then i is not <3 so 4 isn't right for that loop

[slate compass]

ok but why 5?

[round onyx]

boop

[naive violet]

No idea, I haven't done the room

I can only speak for that code snippet

Perhaps there's more JavaScript than is on your screen?

You can have multiple script blocks in a page, and external javascript too

[round onyx]

not even the terminator can survive an A-10 gun run

[digital estuary]

exaclty

exactly*

[slate compass]

kk thx

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @naive violet (current: #3 - 2293)

[knotty valve]

Because that's the number of iterations starting from 0

In programming we start from 0 and not 1

[naive violet]

Not in that for loop it's not

[shut hawk]

Not in that for loop

[slate compass]

i know

[round onyx]

that is alot of fucking mass going at mach jesus

[slate compass]

but not there

[naive violet]

See the screenshot of the actual code

[shut hawk]

If you reload the page does the answer still show 5?

If so, then as James said there are probably some other JS in there

[digital estuary]

mach jesus is another funny "mach [funny word here]", ill save that one for later
one of my favorite ones is mach fuck

mmm i love a10

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrttttttttttttttt
are there a10 plushies?

[knotty valve]

Saw the code, JS defines i then enters the loop
So the first check is 0
Then 1 then 2 then 3, and breaking out of the loop is 4 which makes a collective of 5 checks

[naive violet]

boo

[round onyx]

prolly

[naive violet]

Would you care to try again?

[round onyx]

i love it when the a-10 is being used as a dogfighter

[slate compass]

yes 5 checks but the question is how often is the alert Hacked shown

which is 4 times

[digital estuary]

isn't a-10... a gun with a plane attached to it? wouldnt it be veryyyyyyyy slooooooooooooooow 🐌

[carmine oasis]

JS

[shut hawk]

ah...is the code in the screenshot different to the one in the file it's referencing?

[knotty valve]

Ah, didn't cross ref the question

[naive violet]

Also it breaks at 3 because it's not >=

[round onyx]

yes you have to trick them into destroying all of their energy

[knotty valve]

I assumed you were asking why it breaks at 5 and not 4

[slate compass]

ah no ^^

[mortal ether]

Quick google search gave me this:

Maybe you're just looking at the wrong file

[slate compass]

oh damn i copied the code from the room

oh wow

gotta repat the Princes

[mortal ether]

I guess you're not the first 😄

[slate compass]

i feel stupid now 😄

[knotty valve]

It has to still do a not check on i=4

Causes it says less

Not equals to

JS for loops are designed weirdly

[slate compass]

yes the other file in the exercises folder has <5

[naive violet]

it gets to three and that check fails so it breaks the loop there. No 4.

[slate compass]

dayumn

[grim sparrow]

:hammer: darkfile0666#0 has been banned.

[tidal sierra]

Damn

[round onyx]

Planes with good noise authority or stall speed maneuverability would deffo destroy the A-10

[cosmic pendant]

Who was that?

[tidal sierra]

Don't know

[digital estuary]

bot probably

[tidal sierra]

@cosmic pendant morning toaster

Good Morning

[cosmic pendant]

Root, how are you , Muriri

LETS goo

[carmine oasis]

I got addicted to hacking.

[pallid lotus]

Why would i ever equal 4 in that loop?
The check is < 3. When i=3, loop condition fails, loop ends. Going higher would be nonsensical

[carmine oasis]

It is fun and rewarding

[knotty valve]

Have you not seen half the jank JS does

[quick blaze]

that is weird

[pallid lotus]

Yes, but not even JS is dumb enough to keep a loop going for an extra iteration after it's finished

[naive violet]

Sorry, your source for this claim is that JS does other stuff weirdly so that means a fundamental construct of iteration works incorrectly?

[pallid lotus]

Kinda defeats the purpose of conditinal iteration lmao

[knotty valve]

It is dumb enough to not interpret arrays correctly

[slate compass]

The case is solved friends: when you copy the code from the exercise it says < 3

[cosmic pendant]

Wait a second

[pallid lotus]

That's an integer

[cosmic pendant]

Prefix or Postfix

int++ or ++int

[naive violet]

Like goddamn that'd be an easy patch, shave a bunch of comparisons and speed up loads of sites
