I want to make convincing lore that's in a universe. Where people submit flags from CTF's to gain more lore for the universe

[wind lake]

oh i see

yes

this would be REALLY cool i think

i think people would eat it up

like an interactive hacking novel

[river garden]

One ctf one story? Or multiple ctf one story?

My goal is to make it seem interactive sorta

[ripe sleet]

Whole fucking arcs of story

im thinking like a whole game with choices and story arcs and characters

multiple ending type shit

[ripe sleet]

I want to set up a flag submission thing with dynamic flags where in the ctf you exfiltrate a document from a website that looks like a government. Then when you submit the flag it appears in your area sorta

[wind lake]

oh i see

[oblique loom]

LFI

[wind lake]

nothing crazy

i thought you meant like

idk something else

[oblique loom]

It's nothing that special, the annoying part was figuring out which LFI format actually worked

[wind lake]

yeah

[oblique loom]

But yea, in the end I got a reverse shell established

That was about it lol. Putting everything so far into notes for later

[wind lake]

[oblique loom]

Clear browser cache and see if that helps

[river garden]

The link works

[oblique loom]

I didnt test the link

[river garden]

This is on your end

yeah like it shows the embedding

[wind lake]

wha

[oblique loom]

Their end lol

[oblique loom]

Ah

I see

[wind lake]

@keen sable are you a metal music enjoyer (i swear ill stop bothering you lmfao)

[keen sable]

unfortunately no, not really.
the closest thing I like to metal is some of starset, but even when they get super super heavy I don't like the song as much and avoid playing it 😅

[wind lake]

rip

[river garden]

Uff no more pings from him

[wind lake]

ok no more JH pings

[oblique loom]

You used the last one

[wind lake]

have a good night

lmao

[oblique loom]

I wasnt joking about that headache x.x

Bleh...

Kinda need my brain rn too lol

[knotty valve]

Now we wait for flair to finish installing my tools

Before I can run the malware and dump the memory for that God forsaken key

That's all I want

One fucking encryption key

[oblique loom]

It be like that

I know the feel

[knotty valve]

I have EVERYTHING else

I just need that key for the payload so I can build a vaccine

[oblique loom]

One step away :)

[knotty valve]

Hopefully

It's so far been a:
Base64 -> single byte xor -> secondary encryption -> execute in memory

I know what processes it's attacking I just need the other key to grab the shellcode

It has a panic function I need to be careful to not trip though

Otherwise I lose the key and payload

[oblique loom]

Really? Interesting

[knotty valve]

Yeah

Exported function used by the payload to detect tampering or debugging

It'll scramble the memory with random data and make it irrecoverable

[oblique loom]

And this is ransomware, correct?

[knotty valve]

Basic but still good enough to make me spend more time

[knotty valve]

Yes

[oblique loom]

Gotcha!

[knotty valve]

It's the straightest ransomware Ive seen since wannacry

[chilly veldt]

12 hours until CTF starts

[knotty valve]

Despite how cringe it is

Three stages

Obfuscation is good but not APT level, at least, not yet

It's made by a group who used to focus on infostealers so we're witnessing an active evolution rn

[shrewd dune]

what ctf?

[knotty valve]

Safe to say: Not Good™

[knotty valve]

BrunnerCTF

[shrewd dune]

what is it ?

[knotty valve]

A CTF

[shrewd dune]

[oblique loom]

Send it to me

If you can

Its fine if no

[knotty valve]

Waiting to hear back from two peeps before I move forward with additional third parties

[shrewd dune]

I mean why you so excited over a ctf?

[knotty valve]

I'm currently doing malware research

[oblique loom]

CTFs are fun

You learn

[knotty valve]

But yeah, CTFs are fun

[shrewd dune]

ah yeah, I came here to ask if you know where I can practice my networking knowledge or even get a certificate.

[knotty valve]

There's rooms for networking :)

[shrewd dune]

ofc but what makes that one special

[river garden]

You sure you are in the right Discord channel?

[knotty valve]

But networking certificates are generally CCNA and Net+

[oblique loom]

Dont over think it :)

[knotty valve]

So I'd recommend those if you want to get certified

[shrewd dune]

Ik but I only learn from them no practice stuff

[oblique loom]

I enjoyed my time today doing a CTF when its been months

Didnt finish it tho

[shrewd dune]

are they for free?

[oblique loom]

But got to initial compromise

[knotty valve]

Lol no, any good cert isn't free

[shrewd dune]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-sad-fridge-no-food-gif-5296071

[knotty valve]

No employer ever asks for a free certificate

They ask for industry recognised certificates

[shrewd dune]

I just need to practice my knowledge for free man!!! Idc about the certificate

[knotty valve]

Then don't include certificates in your original question, woman

[cosmic pendant]

THM > HTB

ez

[shrewd dune]

wdym by that?

[chilly veldt]

Cause I am one of the creators

[oblique loom]

Really? Nice!

[knotty valve]

Can't wait for brunner

It's gonna be a good break from the research I've been doing

[chilly veldt]

Yeah, made 4 challenges

[oblique loom]

I wish I could make a good CTF room

Dman, NICE

[chilly veldt]

Good luck, we have around 80 challenges

[oblique loom]

I do writeups only lol

[knotty valve]

I saw 😭

[cosmic pendant]

Do all the THM rooms

Then start HTB and do all of their rooms

[oblique loom]

Yea, then find another platform and do their rooms too

[shrewd dune]

I ain’t female, whatever . I didn’t say that I want to get a certificate in the first place just said “ even get a certificate “ which means it was optional.

[knotty valve]

Then find another platform

[knotty valve]

I aint a man

[oblique loom]

I love that cybersec is so easy to learn with these platforms

[shrewd dune]

is it….for free?

[oblique loom]

Stuff like this didnt exist back then

Had to get your hands dirty

[knotty valve]

Having to learn it by figuring out how to break shit was Peak learning

[oblique loom]

Hell yea!

[wind lake]

that is the hacker way

[knotty valve]

Omg flare finally finished

[shrewd dune]

but nobody says “ Hey woman” We say “Hey man” It doesn’t mean a gender in this context

[knotty valve]

I learnt reverse engineering by just doing

[knotty valve]

Idc

[shrewd dune]

cleaver

[wind lake]

eh just nice to generally avoid ti

[knotty valve]

Im not Something to misgender

[oblique loom]

I would give my opinion but I dont want to get banned lol

[wind lake]

when i say hacker i dont mean blackhat

[knotty valve]

Whaaaaa

[oblique loom]

I didnt mean that lol

[knotty valve]

But that's how I learnt cyber D:

[oblique loom]

I was.. inbetween

[wind lake]

i mean

[knotty valve]

I was a very destructive girl when learning offensive sec

[wind lake]

all blackhats are hackers but not all hackers are blackhats whatever or whatever

[cosmic pendant]

most of them

[oblique loom]

I did keep "trophies" tho, probs as BH as I got lol

[knotty valve]

"I don't have to hack, I can google better than you" can still be Blackhat

[shrewd dune]

thanks man, gotta try it .

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @cosmic pendant (current: #41 - 253)

[royal urchin]

use gender neutral one , call everybody comrade xD

[knotty valve]

Real

[wind lake]

i dont

OIAEhgioaeg

hacker is a hard word

[oblique loom]

I say Cyber runner

Little ... better

[knotty valve]

Net runner

[shrewd dune]

OMG I can’t stand this

[wind lake]

i was writing an essay on the hacker "mindset" awhile back i never finished

[oblique loom]

Def better

[knotty valve]

My windows VM froze

[oblique loom]

I never liked the idea of calling myself a hacker due to the negativity n stuff with the word

[wind lake]

im soooo shocked

[ripe sleet]

Mfw when it's flooded out and people are kayaking

[knotty valve]

How'd it freeze with 4 cores and 12GB of ram

Windows what are you doing

[wind lake]

windows

[knotty valve]

Fair point

[ripe sleet]

There's people in the flooded zone that are literally in a fucking kayak

[knotty valve]

Florida moment

[ripe sleet]

I'm not even in Florida

[oblique loom]

Carolina?

Sounds more like a Florida thing

[royal urchin]

thanks f*ck they don't make planes and satellites on windows

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @knotty valve (current: #60 - 171)

[knotty valve]

We use bare bone Linux on satellites usually

Or a custom embedded os

Depends on who owns it

[ripe sleet]

New Jersey

[oblique loom]

Yea, and its probably spaghetti code

[knotty valve]

It's not

The code is pristine

Like fucking perfect

[oblique loom]

On satellites? guess it depends on who made it

[ripe sleet]

@wind lake Am I able to DM you?

[knotty valve]

Starlink is probs shit

But every one I've done work on has been immaculate

[oblique loom]

Never hacked a satellite before

[knotty valve]

I used to work on them :D

[royal urchin]

what was the video again where windows went on update when meteor was about to hit the Earth?

[knotty valve]

Was a satellite payload engineer before moving into security engineering

[oblique loom]

Ooo, nice!

[oblique loom]

NICE

Hell yea

[knotty valve]

It's super fun

I have a notebook filled with satellite and communications engineering

[royal urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/fuck-microsoft-fuck-microsoft-john-malkovich-malkovich-gif-24980256

[knotty valve]

Gotta transcribe it to obsidian

[royal urchin]

is that from a movi?

[oblique loom]

Send me that too, with the ransomeware

[knotty valve]

The notes I'll probably send later this week

[oblique loom]

I like learning new things

[oblique loom]

Fair!

[knotty valve]

I've posted most of my networking notes on my blog already

I gotta make a better post for the 11D SUGRA math

Then one for Baryonic modeling in astrophysics

[oblique loom]

How did you get into these positions if you don't mind me asking?

Was it a hard process?

[knotty valve]

The payload engineering came from me being in the navy and holding maritime satellite certificates

Security engineering was internally hired

[oblique loom]

Oh! nice

Gotcha!

[knotty valve]

I was a jr in that position

[oblique loom]

Been trying to get my foot in the door to some extent

[knotty valve]

And I moved to jr pen testing cause I had networks in my current job

A lot of it I owe to my lecturers being cisco partners and navy work 😅

Without either of those I'd have struggled a lot

[oblique loom]

That is some legit stuff

I've only been grinding and hoping lol

[knotty valve]

I did nursing at a time cause I wanted to help people

[oblique loom]

Oof

[knotty valve]

But I was studying that at the same time as doing my first year in Bachelor's of Science

[oblique loom]

Sounds extreme

to me at least

[knotty valve]

But I dropped out of that for the Bachelor's of Cybersecurity

[knotty valve]

It was pretty full on, yeah

[oblique loom]

Ayy im pursing the same

[knotty valve]

Opossum

[oblique loom]

Super Bowl season?

[knotty valve]

I'm currently in my first year for the Cyber degree

[oblique loom]

Ayy same :D

Bachelors in cyber and information assurance

I goi to WGU

go*

[uneven nexus]

last few months (hopefully) of cybersecurity technologies deg

[oblique loom]

I have a computer science Associates

And my sec+

[wind lake]

Yeah you have to friend request first

[knotty valve]

Epic

[ripe sleet]

Sent it

[knotty valve]

Alrighty here's to hoping I can pull off this memory dump correctly

[oblique loom]

I wish lol. Associates doesnt mean much to employers in my area

My boss even told me that straight up

But he's kind of an ass

SO

Their word means not much

I just know from exp job hunting and what I've been told by many others

[fervent cove]

hello guys how do i hack

[winged nimbus]

[wind lake]

With brain

[oblique loom]

Well, I'll give a mission! Deauthenticate you neighbors wifi

Fairly easy

[fervent cove]

do i have to go inside his house and unplug his wifi box

[oblique loom]

No... but if you can go into their house and plug into their router, then yea

Pretend to be an IT tech

Wear a uniform with fake ID

[fervent cove]

ok i will use scissors and cut theiir verizon cable outside their house

[oblique loom]

Get fake custom ID from Amazon

[river garden]

Yes, start by watching a lot of LockPickingLawyer to get into house

[oblique loom]

Naaa, gotta go in loud and proud!

[knotty valve]

Magnettttttt

[oblique loom]

Break the window

[knotty valve]

Hurry up and send me DumpIt

[oblique loom]

You can do this btw, I have exp decently good results

(I'll keep my mouth shut lol, sorry)

I do love social engineering tactics tho

[knotty valve]

Processing

Please don't fail me magnet

[oblique loom]

Probably the most fun and anxious thing about cybersec

[wind lake]

is there a way to disable animation on peoples profiles in discord

[fervent cove]

are u guys bots

[wind lake]

too stimulating

[oblique loom]

No, I am a carbon based life form from Nevada

[knotty valve]

The most anxious thing for me RN is hoping to god this malware doesn't have a breakout exploit

[fervent cove]

yeah thats what a bot would say

[oblique loom]

Don't sweat, you got this! I believe in ya!

[knotty valve]

I have 20 minutes

To not fuck this up

[oblique loom]

Power hour! :D

[knotty valve]

Hold up...

How would I-

Fuck

[wind lake]

fucked up

[knotty valve]

If I lock the VM how am I going to grab the dump

[wind lake]

reach into the matrix ashlynn....

[fervent cove]

edit power settings

[oblique loom]

Idk myself as I dont use a VM 😅

[fervent cove]

what are u doing

[river garden]

Yes

[knotty valve]

Ransomware

Need to grab the key from memory

[wind lake]

can you attach any device to it

[knotty valve]

I don't want to risk fucking a drive

Idk what this Shellcode does yet

Which is why I want the encryption key

Hold on

[oblique loom]

Keep grinding! You got this!

[knotty valve]

It injects to explorer

[fervent cove]

i think ur too smart for me sry

[knotty valve]

Surely killing explorer would buffer it

[fluid sleet]

hello hello?

[oblique loom]

You're almost there!

The finish line is only a few feet away

[knotty valve]

I think I may have got it?

[oblique loom]

There ya go!

🍻

[knotty valve]

Extracting the dump

[oblique loom]

Hell yea

[knotty valve]

Hoping to the gods above and below I didn't terminate explorer too quickly

[oblique loom]

Naa, dont worry, you're really close

[sick maple]

Hola

[knotty valve]

I know I am

That's what makes the anxiety worse

Dynamic analysis is always anxiety inducing

[oblique loom]

Naaa dont thing about, stay positive!

You have this!

[knotty valve]

I'll snapshot the VM while I wait

[fluid sleet]

hello hello

any rock n roll fans?

or music fans?

c'mon y'all don't make me apologize?

[oblique loom]

こんにちは

(Hello)

[knotty valve]

Snapshot hurry up

I'm short on time smh

[river garden]

No, this sub is strictly against any kind of music, sry

[knotty valve]

Wdym????

[fluid sleet]

lol

[oblique loom]

You got this!

[knotty valve]

If it was fartcore I'd understand

[oblique loom]

Dont worry about clock

[fluid sleet]

we need to bring more women into tech still ...in 2025

[river garden]

We only listen to gpu go brrrr

hi

sorry I want to make you feel comfortable and happy
