You mean the gay stuff? Or did they say other stuff?

[knotty valve]

My lecturers talk like that tbh

[oblique loom]

[river garden]

Not sure how that didnt trigger your spidey senses

[knotty valve]

I'm used to people being stupid here

[oblique loom]

I kinda rbbed me, but not in a honest bad way

[knotty valve]

But definitely not serial vibes

Yup, young Gen X or 1st wave millennial

[sick maple]

I'm gen z

[river garden]

Millenial

[sick maple]

2002?

[oblique loom]

[dark wolf]

im mid gen-x ... 10 years off from boomer lol

boomers have been runing our lives since we were kids

[sick maple]

Oh. IcIc. I'm 2008

[oblique loom]

Gen z '96 to '09 or '10

[dark wolf]

boomers have messed with gen-x millenials and gen-z

everyone hates boomers lol

[oblique loom]

3rd wave :)

[sick maple]

I'm still a fetus

[sick maple]

Yh : )

[oblique loom]

People could say that im a 3rd wave millennial lol

[river garden]

Ok, apparently I'm a Zillennial. Cool.

[oblique loom]

Yea that lol

Thqts the term

[sick maple]

Zilla Niel

[oblique loom]

Like, '96 to '98 or '95 to '97

We invented our own sub-gen cause we cool like that

[river garden]

Anyone of you knows CinnamonToastKen?

[sick maple]

Lmao

Tbh I don't like gen alpha very much

[oblique loom]

Ipad kids lol

[sick maple]

Yh lol

[dark wolf]

When I was in high school there were no cell phones, no internet, nada

[sick maple]

Stone age :0

[dark wolf]

It worked lol

we played outside

we couldn't come IN the house lol

[sick maple]

I did too : )

[oblique loom]

Na, you probably had the 1
like Commondore in the Library

Lol

[dark wolf]

thristy?? there is a hose

[sick maple]

Broke both my legs too

[oblique loom]

Brother was using the punch tape lol

[dark wolf]

I had a VIC-20 at home and we got a Comodore64

HAd an Atari and my dad would copy games at work

[oblique loom]

Oh nice!

[dark wolf]

we just changed the chip

he copied the eproms the rest was the same lol

[oblique loom]

Is that a switch?

Lol

[dark wolf]

network switch yes

[sick maple]

I played a game from a floppy disk : )

[river garden]

thats a switch yeah

[sick maple]

Me af

[oblique loom]

I didnt see the top lol

My b xD

[oblique loom]

How much was the Comondore?

[dark wolf]

Why does almost every single ctf i have done so far have ports 22 and 80 open only lol

[oblique loom]

Ssh and http :)

[river garden]

Really? Just "bad luck" I guess

lots of ctfs with more ports

wait I got sth for you

[oblique loom]

Oh yea

Lots more

[dark wolf]

Im starting with the oldest ones first

and only doing easy

yet a couple of these "easy" should be medium i swear lol

[river garden]

https://tryhackme.com/room/theserverfromhell
Check this one out if you like ports 🙂

[oblique loom]

Yea, I dont believe in the level difficulty system

[river garden]

Difficulty level and time to complete have been randomly generated based on quantum fluctuations

[oblique loom]

Ive done an Insane level room and it was pretty easy

[dark wolf]

That is a medium one .... im scared lol

id rather do the easy ones first marked as easy either way

[river garden]

No need to be. I did nearly all easy ones and medium ones are not harder.

There are actually a couple of quite tricky easy ones

[oblique loom]

I like the hard ones

[sick maple]

True

[oblique loom]

Thats a good balance

[dark wolf]

Yeah, but I just started doing this 48 days ago in here. I spent 40 days training and only started really getting into the CTF's a week or two ago

[oblique loom]

Oh

[dark wolf]

I need a lot more practice and to understand how these are put together

[oblique loom]

Makes sense

Ive been doing this for years lol

[dark wolf]

that way once i clear the easy ones I won't need to use walkthroughs as much because I'll know the different tricks

I'm still learning the ropes, once I get all the methods down it should be easier

[oblique loom]

Understandable!

We all started somewhere

[dark wolf]

this last one put the Fkin password inside an image in the challenge page with instructions

[oblique loom]

XD

[river garden]

Yeah thats a mean one

[oblique loom]

Yea, gotta love those

[river garden]

There is another one that does sth similar

[dark wolf]

and it was "easy" lol

[river garden]

won't spoiler more tho

[dark wolf]

i found a magic numbers port knocking one last week

[oblique loom]

Btw 8080 is a common you'll be seeing too

[dark wolf]

all these little tricks here and there. definitely learning them. i gotta say i loved the reverse elf one ghidra was fun

[sick maple]

Oh wait. You are on discord from 2016 🫢 and in the sever from 2021 :0 that's legendary

[oblique loom]

Ive been here for years lol

I remeber whem discord was only web browser

[sick maple]

Those are the ones I love

[dark wolf]

I joined discord when i was in high school back in the early 90's

[river garden]

I am here since two months 🙂

[dark wolf]

there was discord coming from the wall and i joined it to my phone

[oblique loom]

THM had like, 500,000 users when I joined

Its changed a lot

[sick maple]

The one that has a flag in the page html?

[river garden]

No, I mean sth different

[sick maple]

U fossil :0

[dark wolf]

i just did one that had a flag in the html, you had to highlight

[sick maple]

Oh

[river garden]

But won't disclose more here

[oblique loom]

No... Lol

私は29歳です

[dark wolf]

Did your script solve the server from hell jack?

[sick maple]

Yh it was kinda messy so hard to find it

[river garden]

You mean my agent? No, haven't tried it

Could imagine that it can solve it

[dark wolf]

I'm glad I didn't have kids... I'd be a grandpa now lol I'm old enough to be Chains dad

[oblique loom]

XD

[sick maple]

Lol. You're older than my brother tho

[oblique loom]

Pfff, kids these days thinking 29 is old xP

I still feel as alive as when I was 25

[dark wolf]

I'm doing Jack of All Trades now

i already found one ctf with a /home/jack

Jack is popular 😛

[river garden]

this is my room
https://tryhackme.com/room/jack

[sick maple]

"OLD" is when you can't kick someone's butt anymore

[tight trout]

boomer smh 😔

what was it like living through the great depression?

[dark wolf]

oh Jack Nicholson

[tight trout]

or the great war

[sick maple]

Lmao

[oblique loom]

2008? Was rough lol

[tight trout]

LOL

[sick maple]

I was born that year

[oblique loom]

Those were some dark times, tbf

[sick maple]

I'm the dark lord

[dark wolf]

2008 provided opportunity for me to buy a house for super dirt cheap (new) in 2010 so i could sell it for 2.5x as much in 2021

[sick maple]

:0

[oblique loom]

2008 and 9/11 are two things that hit me hard in a scarring way

As a kid during those times

[dark wolf]

9/11 was crazy... i had to drive 30 miles to san diego that day and i was thikin crap, i hope no more planes are crashing

Saw it all unfold on TV was chatting on IRC

[oblique loom]

I was in kindergarten

Gosh, its so weird to think about

Cause I was just too young att

Couldnt comprehend it

[dark wolf]

Check this out ...

we stayed home from school to watch the Challenger take off

I was 10

That was not a good day

[tight trout]

my mom was aat home sick when the challenger took off watching it

[river garden]

oh damn

[oblique loom]

Damn

Sorry to hear :/

[dark wolf]

Hi mints!! how are you sweetie

[rapid merlin]

hello how are you

[dark wolf]

Hello talo! I am good , thanks , how about yourself?

[rapid merlin]

yeah i am also good how is it going what are you doing

[dark wolf]

Im doing the Jack of all trades ctf right now .. I need 64 points to level

and im confident this thing will give me 60 and a middle finger

[oblique loom]

I think I did that room before

[dark wolf]

I'm sure you have, i am doing oldest to newest

[rapid merlin]

oh May God get you there soon

[oblique loom]

It sounds familiar xD

[dark wolf]

Only a matter of time. I did one CTF earlier today for 600 points. It seems like the more you have to answer, the more points you get.

[oblique loom]

Yea :)

[river garden]

Correct

Which is not a good design imo

Means you get much less points for ctfs

[oblique loom]

I mean, I'm pretty high level in THM from the grind alome

[dark wolf]

No, especially if you hunt for the ones with more questions

[river garden]

where you usually just answer user.txt, root.txt

[oblique loom]

Yea xD

/root/root.txt

[river garden]

I would really like them to fix that

[dark wolf]

The grind is real, I don't do half ass. I was using DuoLingo like crazy, then playing MSFS like crazy, then other games

[river garden]

I enjoy the gamification and would love it if it would encourage ctfs more

[dark wolf]

i go a few months the die off, Hope it doesn't die off here, but you are all awesome kids and it's great to see you getting into the technology

[dark wolf]

The gamification is what does it for me I think

[oblique loom]

Oh thanks :D

I've always loved games since playing the colicovision or wheaver it was

Venture - ColecoVision (1982)

[oblique loom]

Oh man

Idk how I would feel about that xD

[dark wolf]

I lived through the evolution of gaming into what it is now

and computers

[oblique loom]

The golden ear

You didnt have punch cards tho :D

[spark verge]

I enjoyed that one a lot.

Took forever haha

[dark wolf]

oh great

[tidal sierra]

Wiggle when ur stuck what u do?

[dark wolf]

dm me wiggle if you want me to add you as a "contributor" so you can see my poker code

[spark verge]

google. haha

[tidal sierra]

Ohhh

[spark verge]

if I cant figure it out that, way, I wear no shame in watching a video, or reading a write up, but thats my absolute last resort.

[tidal sierra]

Nice

[oblique loom]

This

[dark wolf]

I don't mind reading the writeups after an hour because I just started so I have no clue what to try

[oblique loom]

Eaxactly

No shame

[dark wolf]

But it just depends on do you want to learn how to do it or not

[oblique loom]

Ive done it countless times

[spark verge]

Once you struggle to get to that point, you will hold in whatever is the solution anyways

[dark wolf]

If you look at a write up and you should have known it, shame on you, if there's no fin way you would have known it good on you.

[river garden]

Just getting reps in is important imo

[spark verge]

I am going through math refreshers on khans academy, havent done algebra in 18 years or so. lol

[oblique loom]

Dont worry, soon youll be going from reading writeups to making them :)

[dark wolf]

Have you made any?

[oblique loom]

3

so far

[tidal sierra]

Wow

[river garden]

Most write-ups are pure trash

[spark verge]

For sure, even when it doesn't seem like its doing you any good, it will, little by little, brick by brick.

[river garden]

I don't understand why everyone just answer dumps

[dark wolf]

AI will do algebra for you

[oblique loom]

Well you aint seen mine

take a look for youself

[dark wolf]

Depends on how long it's been out

[spark verge]

For clicks and engagement.
Most want answers, not guidance.

[oblique loom]

give me a sec

[dark wolf]

There are rules for how long it has to be available before people can post answers

[vestal schooner]

[spark verge]

Yeah, but I have always wanted a deep advanced understanding of math, and I was too busy getting high and fighting in school, too worried about being cool. lol

[oblique loom]

https://medium.com/p/tryhackme-void-execution-write-up-binary-analysis-exploitation-a1140acc6603?source=social.linkedin&_nonce=WYab60dN

[river garden]

I am building a knowledge base of write-ups that I want to use for myself and my AI agent to improve on ctfs and it's not great to mostly find answer-dumps.

[oblique loom]

Therw

Look for yourself

[dark wolf]

I made it to Pre-Calc in College and got a C

then just stopped going

[river garden]

Thanks. Will check it out.

But I went back to another, I have a BS degree

[oblique loom]

More than welcome!

[spark verge]

Whats your BS in?

[tidal sierra]

Damn

[oblique loom]

Got inputs? Let me know! Always trying to improve these things lol

[river garden]

You have some claps now

[oblique loom]

Yea

[river garden]

Looks good on first glance

[oblique loom]

Keep reading

[river garden]

Might check out more of your write-ups

[oblique loom]

🍻

[tidal sierra]

I just checked out chainz silver platter

Writeup

It's good ngl

[oblique loom]

I put a lot of effort into typimg these things

[river garden]

Do you know sources for good write-ups I can crawl?

[tidal sierra]

I can see that

[oblique loom]

I dlnt use writeups anymore. Mainly cause, like you said, good chunk are shit lol

(They kinda are ngl, part of my inspiration to make em myself)

[wary ocean]

There's a lot of writeups that's just the answer and no explanation

[river garden]

Makes me think they didn't actually solve it

[wary ocean]

And a lot of yt vids on the rooms are the exact same

[wary ocean]

The guy who made the writeup or ppl that do them

[royal gazelle]

Flare-on has an incredible write-up corpus but its a bit niche, still great technical writing and novel approaches to problems

[river garden]

Sry, I don't understand this sentence

[zenith mural]

hello

[river garden]

this?
https://github.com/fareedfauzi/Flare-On-Challenges

[wary ocean]

Who makes you think they don't solve the room, the guy who wrote the writeup or the people that do the room/use the writeups

[river garden]

Ah ok. I mean the people just answer-dumping in their write-ups. Seems sus to put 0 effort into this. Would physically pain me to only write answers and not share my experience if I actually did the ctf.

[royal gazelle]

yes, I believe all the write-ups are from the challenge authors themselves (should be the standard for more difficult challs imo)

[oblique loom]

Don't forget poor grammer

No revisions

[river garden]

Do you have more sources for good write-ups I can crawl / mass-download? I want to build a knowledge base to analyze / search.

[spark verge]

I like the write-ups that will go through every step, then blurs the flag.

If I accidently see it, I can't unsee it.

[oblique loom]

I like making writeups cause I hope they are very easy to understand and yet teach what exactly I'm doing

What, why, and how

[royal gazelle]

You can probably check CTFtime but not everyone links the write-ups in there, otherwise if you check out any of the major CTFs that the top 10 teams compete in you will usually see great write-ups

[river garden]

Yes, I am crawling this as we speek. Already have 20k write-ups.

[oblique loom]

Competition you say..?

On THM itself?

[wind lake]

Ctftime

[oblique loom]

Ah

Sorry, headace and whisky lol

[river garden]

Ctftime has rate-limiting of 10 seconds written in their robots.txt

[spark verge]

Are you scraping just for the learning experience of creating a web scraper?

[river garden]

Nope

[oblique loom]

20K?

[spark verge]

Just curious, I couldnt imagine needing 20k writeups

[oblique loom]

Downloaded?

[spark verge]

because 19k will be trash. lol

[river garden]

I want to analyze them and use them to enhance my AI assistant / Auto-Solver.

[spark verge]

Oh nice

that makes sense

[river garden]

(not training)

[spark verge]

Are you using llama?

[river garden]

Just a knowledge search or sth

Maybe I'll come up with sth more elaborate

[oblique loom]

Well, you'll have to first analyze them at eyes worth to make sure they arn't confusing or off and influence the AI

[spark verge]

that kind of makes me want to build something now

I havent programmed anything in a while it feels like, cybersec stuff took over. lol

[river garden]

No, local models are pretty far behind SOTA models like Claude Sonnet etc. I am using Claude Code.

[spark verge]

I've not messed with claude any

[river garden]

I will come up with sth. Definitely won't go through the 20k write-ups myself haha.

[spark verge]

I play with ChatGPT and use Gemini as my phones assistant.

[oblique loom]

Figured no one would lol

[river garden]

Claude is considered to be the best coding model atm. And Claude Code is most likely the best tool for agentic coding.

[spark verge]

Zip them, and upload to a AI bot, and tell it to give you the best ones in a zipped folder. lol

[river garden]

Big step up from Cursor.

[spark verge]

just to see how it does.

[river garden]

What kind of AI bot?

[spark verge]

I havent used ChatGPT agent mode for coding, but I have used it to write guides and plan trips.

Could upload to ChatGPT.

I zip files and share all the time, lets you get past the 10 file upload limit.

[river garden]

I had about 1k write-ups processed by using subagents in Claude-Code. It created a structured version of the write-ups.

So going through 20k with my AI agents is actually not that unfeasable.

[oblique loom]

Sounds like good filtering

[spark verge]

No that would be costly, its token based with Claude agents isnt it? like wont know the cost till its done?

[oblique loom]

Idk Claude myself tbh

[river garden]

Usage based billing exists, but most people use subscriptions.

[oblique loom]

AI isnt my main focus atm

[spark verge]

if you need simple categorization, hugging face is great.

[river garden]

The subs are not cheap, but if you consider your productivity gain, its worth it.

For AI / ML engineering the gain might be x2-x10

[oblique loom]

I'll hace to check this out

have*

[spark verge]

I used to use a scraper for newslines to grab conspiracy related things and world agenda things, and have hugging face categorize them into a file.

[oblique loom]

Could be of potential use

[river garden]

I am an AI engineer and I really enjoy the stuff that came out in the last 1-2 years.

[spark verge]

Everyone shits on AI, and nobody should use it as a crutch, but to ignore the possibilities will leave people behind others who dont.

[oblique loom]

Oh, I would not be surprised lol

[spark verge]

I am not, but I didnt give a shit for it till about GPT4 came out.

Then it could actually contribute to things I needed done.

Also love not spending 60 on fiver for a logo to only get three revisions.

[river garden]

If I see people just bashing AI, I won't participate in the convo.

There is valid criticism

[oblique loom]

AI is a good tool if you know how to inquiry it

[river garden]

But a lot of stuff seems like people take AI weirdly personal

[spark verge]

Yeah, I dont either. I used to try to persuade people to try and think for their selves.
Can always tell the people who only repeat what they read on reddit.

[oblique loom]

They fall in love with it lol

Legit wise

[wind lake]

clanker sympathizer

[river garden]

I am actually something of an AI myself

[tight trout]

youre gonna die first in the clanker revolution

😔

[oblique loom]

Hope solar flare don't hit lol

[spark verge]

Jack is the level of AI that he has figured out how to turn the deadly solar flares into processing power.

[river garden]

Have to quickly go in my bunker and shut down my system then

[wheat spear]

how to fix the module named crypto not found on kali, i can't seem to find any resource on kali OS only on windows

[tight trout]

for python?

[wheat spear]

yes

[tight trout]

like, whats the error message

alets start with that

[river garden]

Haven't solved that yet. Waiting for GPT6 to help me with that.

[river garden]

PyPI pkg should be named pycrypto

[wheat spear]

its moduleNotFoundError: no module named 'crypto'

[river garden]

pip3 install pycrypto

If that doesnt work you need to create a venv

[wheat spear]

externally managed environment says

[river garden]

yeah then you need to create a venv

[wheat spear]

i actually have no idea how to create, can you lend me a hand?

[river garden]

python -m venv project_env
project_env\Scripts\activate
pip3 install pycrypto

then you need to use this venv to execute your script

If it is activated you can just use the python (python3?) cmd and it will default to the venv python.

[wind lake]

idk if that works with new kali

pip deprecated

[river garden]

what do you mean pip deprecated?

[dark wolf]

what jack said works perfectly

[blissful current]

[dark wolf]

you need to just create a venv and call it using

source venv/bin/activate

then you'll see a (venv) in your prompt

then pip will work

I just use python -m venv venv

to create it then source command to activate it

if you want to use python 2 I can tell you how to do it using docker

[wind lake]

My kali version don't like pop

[dark wolf]

since some packages wont work, volatility2 works only with python2

[river garden]

This is the correct syntax

[dark wolf]

and volatility3 doesn't have hadhdump

[river garden]

I gave you the Windows syntax

[dark wolf]

yes, call for windows source for linux

[wheat spear]

i use the python -m project_env doesn't show anything?

[dark wolf]

i mix them up often

ryu, it created a directory

called project_env

type "source project_env/bin/activate"

[river garden]

Sry Ryu, here are the correct cmds again:

python3 -m venv my_project
source my_project/bin/activate
which python
which pip

[dark wolf]

then "pip install jack"

[river garden]

Tell us the output of the which cmds

Then run
pip install pycrypto

[dark wolf]

don't run pip install jack i was kidding

from jack import jack

[tight trout]

yall create venvs?

[dark wolf]

I do

[river garden]

He has to

[dark wolf]

venvs are good

[river garden]

because Kali

[dark wolf]

and kali makes you now

but it's a good thing

[tight trout]

if you install python with pyenv it manages it for you

[river garden]

And yeah venvs make sense in a lot of situations regardless

[dark wolf]

It's good not to rely on things to do for you which you can do yourself

and it's good to know how to do those things

[wheat spear]

the output is one the home/myusn/my_project/bin/pip (and also same for the which python)

[river garden]

Whats the benefit of pyenv?

[dark wolf]

you might be running 2 scripts that require the same module but different versions

[tight trout]

python version management, you can set a global version and a local version if your project or what youre running needs something lower, vennv management, etc

based off of rbenv

[tidal sierra]

It can manage multiple python version in one

[river garden]

How does it compare to Anaconda?

[wheat spear]

output when using the pip install pycrypto
"failed to build installable wheels for some py.project.toml baded projects"

[river garden]

sounds good. you can pip install pycrypto now

[tight trout]

it can install anaconda

it allows you to have ~940 different types and versions of python

[wheat spear]

and also from the start is says "building wheel for pycrypto (project.toml) did not run successfully."

[river garden]

Please paste the entire out here

[wheat spear]

aight i will open my discord in my desktop first im using mobile

[river garden]

Just to be sure, also try pip3 install pycrypto

This

[river garden]

Ok, I know the issue

[tidal sierra]

R some packages missing?

[river garden]

Need a couple more secs to verify

[oblique loom]

Much better

[river garden]

Fix might be pretty simple

Try to run
pip3 install pycryptodome

[wheat spear]

install pycryptodome
Collecting pycryptodome

then what to do next?

[river garden]

Well hopefully your code runs now

Just python3 script.py

Issue was that pycrypto is apparently deprecated and no longer maintained

[wheat spear]

uhm if im using a vscode to code python in kali, do i need to create a specific folder path for crypto to work?

[river garden]

You just need to have the venv active and then you run python3 /path/to/script.py

or alternatively you don't activate and you use the path to the python bin from the venv dir

[wheat spear]

so basically i can't run it on vscode alone?

only by terminal?

[river garden]

You can also configure vscode to use the venv interpreter

Just point to it

[wheat spear]

how to point it?

Hello :)

Is this a full bachelors or a diploma

[errant vale]

i lowk wanna learn

[marsh lark]

u dont have to

[marsh lark]

u can learn at tryhackme

[strong fjord]

Electives for a bachelor

[errant vale]

yeah i am right now i js cannot be consistnet

[wind lake]

Including the first list?

[wind lake]

Mornin

[strong fjord]

Yeah

[long lotus]

It's not the best way to get into cybersecurity, I waited 4 semesters at university to use tryhackme

[marsh lark]

mornin

[wind lake]

That's a lot of options huh

[river garden]

[strong fjord]

Oh no no

[marsh lark]

for beginners, it is

[errant vale]

ohh

[strong fjord]

The first list is the main

Mb

[long lotus]

no bro 🙏🥀

[marsh lark]

then where?

[long lotus]

There is a right methodology for this

[marsh lark]

what is it then

[river garden]

Why not?

[tidal sierra]

[river garden]

Had no prior knowledge of cysec either

[wind lake]

You had no reason to 🤷‍♀️

I started with tryhackme in like... 2019. And then decided it's what I want to do for a career

[long lotus]

It wouldn't make sense for you not to know the physical basis beforehand.

[marsh lark]

I was 8 back then hehe

[marsh lark]

what?

[wind lake]

you can start wherever you want

[marsh lark]

it literally teaches u from the basics

[wind lake]

Some ways will be easier

[strong fjord]

I think Tryhackme is challenging if u easily get bored reading. But with passion and dedication i think it's nothing

[long lotus]

Bro you can do it, I don't forbid it, but it's not the best way to study.

[marsh lark]

then what is?

[river garden]

How so

[long lotus]

I've been to cybersecurity events, most professionals say this

[river garden]

Why overcomplicate things

[wind lake]

All roads lead to Rome

[river garden]

Worst way to get started is to not get started

[wind lake]

I don't disagree knowing fundamentals first is good

But not always how it works

[marsh lark]

then what is the best way?

[strong fjord]

When I started tryhackme i was mannnnn me wanna hack, but then I started reading I was like ohhhh damnnn that tastes good (the knowledge)

[long lotus]

The problem is that you will waste time on some concepts that you ignored in the past.

My legit reaction btw

[river garden]

Sry, I don't know what that is supposed to mean

[marsh lark]

what if u just started learning?

[long lotus]

There's no perfect path, but they recommend studying the physical part first, then networks and connections. Study algorithmic reasoning (and use of the Python language first)

[marsh lark]

and also, thm doesnt force u to learn those concepts

[strong fjord]

My only problem with tryhackme is that my learning is inconsistent due to some rooms being premium. Im broke 🤣

[marsh lark]

what do u mean by physical parts?

[river garden]

I don't like it when people overcomplicate learning things. E.g. when they are too obsessed with learning bottom up instead of top down.

[strong fjord]

Im gonna wait for black friday

[long lotus]

Memory, processing, hardware

cables

[wind lake]

electricity move

Done

[strong fjord]

That was me like 2 months ago but i changed my ways

[marsh lark]

you dont have to learn them necessarily

I mean like first

also

arent those taught in thm?

some of them at least

[river garden]

You also don't need to get into mathematical proofs to get started with Machine Learning. It's the same thing.

[wind lake]

A little bit very in depth

[long lotus]

It's the same as a surgeon going to perform surgery and not knowing how to handle the instruments on the table or even knowing where the heart is. Just an analogy.

[marsh lark]

how?

[wind lake]

In school I had to study parts of the intel x86 processor blah blah manual

[marsh lark]

if u start learning networking for instance

[wind lake]

Lmao

[river garden]

Don't see how this analogy makes sense here

[tired wolf]

assembly?

[marsh lark]

u need to know how memory works?

[wind lake]

Yeah we had a class on assembly

[long lotus]

What's the analogy for you?

[tired wolf]

im envious

[blazing granite]

I was way more than 8 🤣

[river garden]

Do I need an analogy?

[strong fjord]

Yeah I feel like a big part is really from the hands on experience. I don't know. It's just me cuz I got a good grasp of the terminal through picoctf

[marsh lark]

I think it depends on the professional

for example

[wind lake]

It was tough but kinda cool! Did some exploitation too like buffer overflows and rop chain stuff

[marsh lark]

ryan montgommery

[strong fjord]

Rather than reading

[wind lake]

Don't remember much of it

[oblique loom]

Really, were you here in the Discord? 0.o

[marsh lark]

ryan recommends tryhackme first

[strong fjord]

But terminologies and theories are still important. Really depends on the person's way of learning

[wind lake]

Actually I believe it was 2020.... when Covid got bad

[oblique loom]

Ive been here since 2021 lol

Come and go yea

[wind lake]

He also has no formal education

[oblique loom]

But, always here

[blazing granite]

there isn't one way fits all, you need to find what works for you 🙂

[wind lake]

I didn't mean that as a dig I mean like. All different paths

[marsh lark]

yup, so that doesnt make thm NOT a good starting place

[wind lake]

Was this always your username

[marsh lark]

it depends on the person

[long lotus]

For the course to be good for a new person, let's assume the person doesn't even know how to use a mouse. Do you think a qualified course won't teach you from the beginning? It depends on a friend, you might have already learned a good part. Everyone has their own way of studying, and everyone has different knowledge.

I feel like JohnTheRizzler is root

Look in profile. My original username :)
