i mean

in most cases

it can give a clue

[marsh lark]

have you done this before?

like many times

and

have done it professionally?

[zinc spindle]

i mean i know bit

[cedar marten]

Hello there. Which channel is appropriate to ask general question??

[digital estuary]

you can ask here ig i dont think there is an appropriate channel for general questions

[marsh lark]

good, u?

[digital estuary]

but you have
#room-help for THM room-related questions
#cyber-and-careers to ask anything career and infosec related
#site-support for THM site help

[cedar marten]

No it's more of os related question. I am very interested in learning hacking and cyber security, for which, whoever I ask recommends Linux but the problem is I also have to use davinci and blender. What should I do. Can I learn hacking on window or do I have to leave behind davinci and blender

[digital estuary]

blender works on linux if i remember correctly

[cedar marten]

Davinci doesn't

[digital estuary]

now for davinci, i don't know but i can go check it out for you

[marsh lark]

I believe there is a simple solution

[digital estuary]

you don't really need linux for to learn cybersecurity, you can do it on windows

[marsh lark]

you want to use linux and windows

[digital estuary]

just get a VM for kali

[marsh lark]

simple

[digital estuary]

or dual boot

[marsh lark]

just get a virtual machine

with linux on it

[digital estuary]

pretty sure there is lots of people here learning cybersec on windows with a VM

[cedar marten]

What's a virtual machine?

[tidal sierra]

Virtual box should help u, it's free

[marsh lark]

search it on google and youtube

[digital estuary]

you have a computer
now imagine running another mini instance of a computer inside your computer

[tidal sierra]

A computer inside a computer, in simple words

[digital estuary]

you use apps like VirtualBox or VMware

its not scary or overwhelming and you can learn how to use virtual machines very quick

[cedar marten]

Virtual box and machine are different

?

[tidal sierra]

Virtual box is same

[digital estuary]

no no virtualbox is software you use to create virtual machines

[tidal sierra]

It's a software

[cedar marten]

So like a game engine to make a game?

[digital estuary]

basically

[tidal sierra]

https://www.virtualbox.org/

@cedar marten

[digital estuary]

you get an ISO download from linux official repositories, check some things to make sure the ISO isnt messed up or anything

then you add an virtual machine in virtualbox, go through the setup, set the ISO, allocate one core, and storage for virtual machine storage, and you run the virtual machine to install linux on it

[marsh lark]

virtual machines allow you to run an os (in this case, linux) while running your main os

[digital estuary]

it would be easier to explain with a photo of the GUI so i suggest looking up videos

there is a lot of videos out there and im sure they will explain it very well without overcomplicating

[cedar marten]

So like those emulators

[digital estuary]

yeah like that

[marsh lark]

kinda

[cedar marten]

Any video that explains all this

[blissful current]

Yeah emulators

@amber bramble Hello! I believe that you're the THM staff!

I have an exam going on right now for PT1, I have the config file but i have LOST the access to my account and i genuinely dont know what just happened!

[merry canyon]

I was offered a job, i am trying to verify if its legit or not

wfh

Thank you

[safe oxide]

Hmmmm

[cedar marten]

I found it. Also whats a container

[safe oxide]

👀

[digital estuary]

iirc containers are similar to virtual machines but you only run it on one process

[blissful current]

Just like a real Container jar where u can put libraries , tools , configs all at one place togetger

[merry canyon]

@blissful current can i dm you?

[marsh lark]

ask in #pt1

[merry canyon]

Experts i need advice

[blissful current]

Sure

[cedar marten]

I'll try the virtual machine and watch the videos.Thank you for all the help, Aaron, karmanya03, donutmaster. You guys are life saver

[cedar marten]

Sorry to bother you guys again. But I have a victus and in network chuck video he enabled intel vmx however I only see virtualization in bios on my laptop. Am I doing something wrong?

[candid root]

Hi everyone, I have a quick question.
While using the Attack Box, I created a new local user because I wanted to sandbox Burp. When I tried to give this user sudo privileges, the terminal replied with “action not allowed” and something like “command will be reviewed”.

I also tried to reinstall Burp with sudo apt install burpsuite, but got the same kind of block.

Is this normal behavior for the Attack Box? Could this get me banned / does it count as violating the ToS?

Thanks a lot 🙏

[turbid scaffold]

@mossy river thanks

@mossy river thanks

[marsh lark]

rep cooldown

[digital estuary]

same thing

[quasi karma]

Doing sparring vs Lazyadmin now

[marsh lark]

probably not best to create a new local user in the attackbox

[cedar marten]

how are you guys

[digital estuary]

doing great, what about you?

[candid root]

Ok, so just to be sure, I didn’t violate the ToS, right?

[marsh lark]

ToS of wut

discord?

ToS of thm?

[candid root]

Term of Service

[digital estuary]

i think thats what he is curious about

[candid root]

yes, or ToS of Attck box

[marsh lark]

uhh

I don't believe there is a terms of service for the attackbox

[digital estuary]

when you boot up attackbox it should show the document by default

[marsh lark]

just that

[digital estuary]

if youre gonna do what you did i'd suggest using your own machine instead

[marsh lark]

you shouldn't

like DDOS the website or smth

or smth

creating a new local user is fine

just probably not recommended

[candid root]

ok, so I didn't do anything that violate the thm ToS

[marsh lark]

with this specific incident, yes

hi

[blissful current]

[rapid merlin]

Me with 2000’s rock

[pine peak]

im back......

good morning

[cedar marten]

IAM super sorry to be a nuisance again. But what should I download independent iso to install on virtual box or download prebuilt virtual machines?

[cedar marten]

Good morning to you too, Good sir

[silver sky]

If the virtual machine came from a credible source you can do that.

Otherwise both works

[marsh lark]

prebuilt virtual machine

[cedar marten]

It's on cali.org

[marsh lark]

yeah

[cedar marten]

The prebuilt virtual machine

[marsh lark]

so download the prebuilt vm for whichever service you are using

[silver sky]

Yeah that's fine use the premade

[marsh lark]

virtualbox, vmware, etc.

[sick maple]

everyone. kqli is a wanted criminal]

[river garden]

hope that was a typo

[rapid merlin]

guys is it true that kali will put ai in its os

?

[pine peak]

thats a lie dont belive him

[topaz sedge]

*kali

[cedar marten]

Ok now have four options, VMware, virtual box, hyper V and Qemu

[river garden]

yeah figured that much

[topaz sedge]

*believe

[sick maple]

i'm not gonna use kali if they do that. it depends actually

[marsh lark]

which one are you using?

which service?

[cedar marten]

My bad it's kali

[sick maple]

feds are looking for em

[sick maple]

[zenith mural]

As a best practice you should always verify the sha-256 hash of the file with the one provided on the website (ensures the file has not been tampered with, threat actors could install things in there due to the nature of what kali is used for)

[cedar marten]

Virtual box I guess

[marsh lark]

ok

then download the virtual box one

actually

if you want some guidance

@cedar marten follow this video:

[carmine oasis]

I have a question

[cedar marten]

How do I check that

[river garden]

hola

[marsh lark]

but

you don't need to do that here

[rapid merlin]

like some sort of agent that helps you use tools

[river garden]

think there is sth called kali gpt, but that is not built in

[marsh lark]

you don't need to do that

if you got it from the official kali website

then you can use it

[carmine oasis]

Jack:

I will plan to get at least 3 certifications in next 3 months

Which one should I take that are in Germany recognizable by the German companies

[marsh lark]

wow

[carmine oasis]

I don't like to waste money

[river garden]

I am not in the field of cysec, sry

I am an AI Engineer

[rapid merlin]

why not get remote job

its paid more

i heard in germany

cybersec jobs paid so little

[marsh lark]

try looking at DKob's security cert roadmap:
https://dragkob.com/security-certification-roadmap/

btw

the regional HR-recognized filter

[carmine oasis]

This is not for Germany

[marsh lark]

is currenlty in progress

[marsh lark]

well

the feature will be available

for regional HR recognition

not too far in the future

I believe

[marsh lark]

well

you can do your own research as well

look at some job postings that you might be interested in

see which certifications are listed

[rapid merlin]

ceh is easier than pt1

[carmine oasis]

Only OSCP

[marsh lark]

I see

[carmine oasis]

CRTO

[marsh lark]

did you take them both?

also

they probably are

quite close in difficulty

[rapid merlin]

no but i know some people who did

and said that

some even failed pt1 while having oscp

and many more harder certs

[carmine oasis]

And some companies HTB CPTS

[marsh lark]

but still, PT1 is relatively on the easier side

[tidal sierra]

Don't be scared to ask qns,
" There r 2 types of people who never learn, one who is shy n who one is arrogant "

[marsh lark]

there is a feature

on the roadmap

to put in a bug report (basically for any concern related to the roadmap)

[digital estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-writing-gif-24533171

[carmine oasis]

I will put at least 2k for certs I don't like have something that doesn't works

OSCP is working.

[pine peak]

mortezzza

[marsh lark]

altho, 3 certs in 3 months is quite a short time frame

especially when you have to learn A LOT of stuff for a cert, for example

like the CRTO

[carmine oasis]

I am at the of red path in THM

[marsh lark]

well

the certs

[vast belfry]

Hello guys im interested in cyber security engineering

[marsh lark]

probably require some knowledge from their courses or smth

and most likely much more knowledge

[pine peak]

roblo for 10 hours 😭

[marsh lark]

than just THM

[rapid merlin]

arent there companies who offer certs for free

[vast belfry]

oppened in the background lol

[pine peak]

dm me and i will make u aplan how to start

[rapid merlin]

i suggest not spending that much money yourself

[marsh lark]

I mean, there are, but they probably won't be HR recognized

[carmine oasis]

In CPTS path almost all things are like a repeat from THM.

[marsh lark]

well, that is true

[carmine oasis]

Most stuff the same thing

[marsh lark]

for CPTS

specifically

[digital estuary]

hello! TryHackMe has an roadmap which includes security engineering, for certifications i suggest ask some people here and check out some certs on certification roadmaps :)

[marsh lark]

but something like the CRTO

def not

you will need to learn A LOT more than just from THM

[vast belfry]

thx

yup, good luck on the journey!!!!

[quasi karma]

Is good to switch to HTB after doing the Junior penetration tester path? To get the cert

[marsh lark]

to take the CPTS tho

you NEED to take the modules

for the cert's path

to take the exam

[quasi karma]

Obvious, I mean if you have the right level after doing the jr tester path to have success in HTB

we ll contact authorities on you

[marsh lark]

not a bad idea

[simple valve]

No it does not

[marsh lark]

CPTS is nice

[marsh lark]

didn't the CRTO get like

uhh

[simple valve]

The new course I think has revamped the AV Evasion module so there's new stuff like process injection etc.

[marsh lark]

oh yeah

it got newer

uhh

wait

newer

[quasi karma]

I just discovered that a CMS called SweetRice is a thing. It's more dead than alive, because if you Google it, ExploitDB ranks higher than its website.

[river garden]

yeah think there is a room with that

[blissful current]

idk dkob was talking about something related to malware

[quasi karma]

yes xD

[blissful current]

or it maybe something else

[marsh lark]

possibly something about his job

[blissful current]

dont worry i'll google myself , u dont need to

This is the new defense evasion module

[blissful current]

same but am fine with any tech domain - rn am in FinTech

am flexible af

you probably shouldn't

imo

[tidal sierra]

I also want something

i mean i do have just the profile link attached on the CV

[rapid merlin]

dude

[marsh lark]

yeah, thats fine I think

but like putting rank

and everything

[blissful current]

just like how LinkedIn ID is there similarly

[river garden]

you can definitely put it on your linkedin

[blissful current]

with Hyperlink , nothing else

[marsh lark]

probably won't really help and imo might make it worse

cuz

[proper minnow]

Don’t know if hacking windows xp is a good show of skills

[marsh lark]

idk

I mean

it shouldn't hurt to put it in I guess

🤷

[marsh lark]

windows XP is oooooold

[blissful current]

it can be but not on CV , on linkedin u can

[carmine oasis]

Yeah

[proper minnow]

Wasting cv space

[rapid merlin]

what do you guys usually put on cv

[blissful current]

if its something new ...not already existing stuff

[rapid merlin]

like education certs and...

[marsh lark]

I don't have a cv, so

[rapid merlin]

and employment

[proper minnow]

What the jobs actually are asking for. You need to tailor it

[river garden]

I might put it in my cv in category hobbies or sth;
could look nice for me as an AI engineer;
in a cysec cv they probably want to see certs tho

[rapid merlin]

junior

pentester

[quasi karma]

But for CV, maybe the cert if you earn it. But I will be for HTB CTPS directly

[proper minnow]

No certs matter if companies aren’t asking for it

[blissful current]

Name , email , Contact
linkedin
Github
thm profile link
Tech skills
Experience (InternshipsApprenticeships/Job etc)
Projects
Extracurricular (as a fresher , some tec event hosting stuff)
Achievements
Certs/Licenses

[proper minnow]

Just burning time and money

[quasi karma]

Don't even bother with certificates of completion. They're worthless because there's no exam and you can literally search for the answers. I put them on LinkedIn to show activity, but they're worthless on a CV.

[blissful current]

totally depends on the company's requirement

[quasi karma]

Github profile is good?

[blissful current]

yup

[rapid merlin]

yep

[blissful current]

i have gh too i forgot to add in above list

[carmine oasis]

I think CPTS is the best choice

[river garden]

love when people link their github and they have nothing to show

[blissful current]

whatever is the most recognized ones in your country, go for them (job wise)

[rapid merlin]

i did that

lol

[blissful current]

lol

[proper minnow]

If want to spend time explaining a certification to a company that doesn’t care or know about it go ahead. Good for the certification marketing

[carmine oasis]

Most recognized is OSCP

[blissful current]

i mean , i dont hae much stuff ether

[proper minnow]

Omg meee

[blissful current]

should be more apart from that ...coz OSCP isnt entry level

[rapid merlin]

yep then i am more of a salesman than pentester

[proper minnow]

Bruh

[carmine oasis]

In Germany there is no Job as junior Pentest or IT security

[blissful current]

like my country prefers CCNA, CEH, CRTP (Sometimes) , Sec+, Net+ , Pentest+ , OSCP, CISSP etc based on requirements

[proper minnow]

I don’t put stuff on there because it’s 90% malware

[river garden]

how so

[rapid merlin]

man i am from serbia there are only software developers

[digital estuary]

???

[digital estuary]

balkan region is so shit for cybersecurity jobs its a niche in the balkan region

[carmine oasis]

Yeah

[proper minnow]

As it should be. Cyber isn’t junior

[knotty valve]

Not what Junior means in the workforce

a Jnr is someone with <3 years of experience in a specific role

[carmine oasis]

Only cert that I find multiple times in job market was CPTS and OSCP and one of the ejpt

[proper minnow]

No one knows what it means, it’s why you’re going to give a different definition

[blissful current]

i c

[rapid merlin]

i heard bad things about eJPT

[digital estuary]

cybersecurity field in general isn't entry level if thats what you're talking
there is difference between a junior role and if a field/job is entry level or not

[knotty valve]

Actually no, anyone that can read can figure it out

[blissful current]

[proper minnow]

None of these terms are defined, like people calling pentest red team

[knotty valve]

Don't be obtuse

[digital estuary]

LOL

[knotty valve]

Annnnd they're gone

[digital estuary]

automod is amazing

[knotty valve]

They deserved that lmao

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/theofficechristmas-theoffice-michael-scott-gif-13158924

[digital estuary]

cant wait for leave this region to have a better life

[knotty valve]

but no, as I was saying before: Junior in the workforce is someone with 3 or less years of experience in a role

[carmine oasis]

You are in Europe what you think. What is the most recognized cert in industry.

In my research in Germany website

OSCP and CPTS are the best choice

[rapid merlin]

in balkans with all that certs i can work at gas station

[rapid merlin]

you are from balkan?

[knotty valve]

I haven't lived in europe for like

[digital estuary]

"Gimnazija" students after studying 4 years just to work in a gas station

[knotty valve]

13-15 years

i moved as a kid

[digital estuary]

yeah

[knotty valve]

I'd do research into whatever employers are looking for, because that's generally an indicator into what's recognised over in Germany

[marsh lark]

then I know where you live

hehe

[digital estuary]

i think they didn't have an job so they couldn't differentiate between entry-level and jr ig

🤷‍♂️

[marsh lark]

country wise anyway

[knotty valve]

It's obvious what the positions are, because the employer tells you in the job description

Cause yk:
Description + Your Experience are two topics in that piece of paper

[digital estuary]

yeah

[knotty valve]

They're just spreading misinformation for the sake of it and being rude when they get called out 😄

[digital estuary]

well we can move on since the guy can't say random things now that the automod butchered him mid argument

[knotty valve]

yea

[marsh lark]

lol

[knotty valve]

RoN fun :D

[marsh lark]

LOL

[digital estuary]

that carried the same energy as getting a voice crack in middle of an argument

[digital estuary]

ready or not 🤑

[knotty valve]

but yeah carry on lol

[knotty valve]

Yessss

Time to kill civies :D

jkjk

I will only do that with Mints and Zombie

[digital estuary]

😱

[marsh lark]

just leave a 14 yo teen, thats me

[knotty valve]

You can't be fired if there's no one left to file a report

[frozen gull]

yo

[digital estuary]

hi

[rapid merlin]

what do you use to find remote jobs

[knotty valve]

If I'm canted then it's your problem

Shouldn't have been in the crosshairs

[rapid merlin]

like upwork , indeed?

[marsh lark]

[digital estuary]

im unemployed, ill probably try hunt for a job in january of 2026 though

by then i should have 2 certs

[knotty valve]

Do you have the experience in the field?

[digital estuary]

and a few projects done as well

[knotty valve]

If not it'll be very hard to get a remote job in IT/Cyber

[marsh lark]

remote meaning overseas, right?

or smth like

another country

[knotty valve]

Remote meaning not in office

[marsh lark]

ah

[rapid merlin]

i am going to university have ccna cert sec + good rank on htb and tryhackme

[marsh lark]

just working at home

[knotty valve]

yeah THM doesn't mean shit to an employer, hate to say that

[frozen gull]

hm

[digital estuary]

@rapid merlin the balkan region is so good for farming work experience

[marsh lark]

yup

[rapid merlin]

on mars bro

[marsh lark]

THM rank

doesn't mean

anything

[knotty valve]

SAL and PT certs are different

[rapid merlin]

i am gonna be unemployed final boss

[digital estuary]

the only region* where the minimum wage is worth it for doing little to no work

[knotty valve]

but your social ranking on THM is just a funny number that doesn't matter

[rapid merlin]

all certs no job

[digital estuary]

the only region* where you dont have to be competent

[rapid merlin]

i know a guy switched 30 jobs in 3 years

[knotty valve]

Try starting lower in the industry: Help Desk, Sys Admin, Jr. Net Eng, ICT Analyst, etc.
From there you can then move around more freely

[digital estuary]

holy shit?

[rapid merlin]

helpdesk already replaced by ai

[knotty valve]

Lol no it's not

[digital estuary]

nuh uh 👎🏼

[rapid merlin]

it is even in serbia bro

I have no nerves for working as help desk.

[knotty valve]

Help desk is high turn-over, yes, but it's enough to get your foot in the door

[mortal ether]

Is AI going to drive 2 hours just to turn a device off and on? I think not

[marsh lark]

LOL

[knotty valve]

We need a starboard istg

[rapid merlin]

AI = Actually Indians

[knotty valve]

this is perfect

[chrome forge]

Oh, i got 3 hours xp booster now.. at the end of the room when i go off.. there is nothing what I hate more about boosters than when they activate immediately and “force you” to use it, not when u want to use it.. is there a way to write devs feedback about it?

[digital estuary]

what if they have a taxi and they just bring the AI robot into the house to switch the TV to HDMI 1?

[slow cloud]

Why do so many people have asec tags? Whats asec

[marsh lark]

new server

[knotty valve]

idk yet another server created by mentors here

[marsh lark]

currenlty in progress

but soon to be finished

[slow cloud]

👍

[knotty valve]

I have no urge to connect with most of the people here in such a manner anyway lmao

[marsh lark]

well, thats kinda the point

cuz

[slow cloud]

Thanks guys

[marsh lark]

if you can use it

whenever

[rapid merlin]

isnt it helpdesk job to just do some kind of tickets reported by user?

hii

[marsh lark]

then, it might just be

a crazy XP spree

instead

[slow cloud]

Yes

[marsh lark]

you should do it rn

[knotty valve]

Tickets, ICT maintanence, triaging, etc.

[marsh lark]

and also

[knotty valve]

Dealing with infra jank that L2 and L3 cant be bothered with

[marsh lark]

imo, if you can use the XP booster whenever you start it, then it can cause A LOT of cheating (there is already cheating going on, but more)

[rapid merlin]

i am going to univ for electronics and telecommunications is this good tot put on cv or should i drop out lol

Its fun tho

[marsh lark]

but

[slow cloud]

Especially if u have a good company

[marsh lark]

if you want to give feedback

use this button:

on the bottom right of your THM dashboard

you can give feedback there

[knotty valve]

My feedback: Echo is ass please let me remove it 🩶

[marsh lark]

or sorry

here:

[marsh lark]

its in beta

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/terry-davis-templeos-terry-davis-temple-os-gif-7503627126993325732

[chrome forge]

Then xp booster is not really a good thing.. when people know about it, they will use it to cheat anyway.. so instead if you learn and “play” without cheating it will be even harder to stay on “their level”.. i am not sure if its understable what i mean

[marsh lark]

its the only way to get hints for questions as well

[rapid merlin]

does someone want to create temple os 2.0

[marsh lark]

yup, I understand

you can give your feedback there

[knotty valve]

Mmmm yes, let me use this AI to do all my research and troubleshooting for me, I'm definitely going to learn from not doing anything

[slow cloud]

But level has 0 purpose so who cares about a xp boost

[marsh lark]

many people

[chrome forge]

Thank you

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @marsh lark (current: #31 - 347)

[slow cloud]

Its just a internet number

[digital estuary]

i hate echo so much
i tried to use an hint because i was confused and it just said something along the lines of "put the answer in the input field and click submit to check your answer"

[slow cloud]

You just gotta grind more to keep with the xp boost

Of others

[knotty valve]

Just jailbreak it and get it to do all the work for you 😂

One-Shot prompt injection
Works a charm

Thanks to anthropic for their research into those styles of LLM breaking

you talking about jailbreaking tryhackme agent?

Do you habe Hacking with Python Videos?

[slow cloud]

Nah noy really

I cant code python

[golden robin]

noooooooooooooooooo😭

[knotty valve]

"hacking with python"
Just go learn the exploits manually then automate it™

[golden robin]

🫂 😭

[blissful current]

[golden robin]

My challenge is to hack just with Python

[knotty valve]

I thought this was something else ngl

[knotty valve]

Well, learn how the exploits work

[golden robin]

that's why i have to be better in Python

[knotty valve]

then try to automate them

[blissful current]

[knotty valve]

You did have a poor choice of emojis ngl

[golden robin]

i will

[plush flame]

Hi

[blissful current]

[digital estuary]

hi

[golden robin]

just one more Sticker and you get auto banned

[rapid merlin]

anybody want to team up for hack2win

so we get tickets faster

[blissful current]

i aint getting banned

[golden robin]

Make this sticker 3 times in different messages

just the sticker

[blissful current]

why should i

[golden robin]

idk

[blissful current]

[blissful current]

wish i could but am useless

[rapid merlin]

its just doing rooms

difficulty is irrelevant

[blissful current]

busy with job half of the day

other half i can but no motivation

[rapid merlin]

real

[golden robin]

Yes

[marsh lark]

is that allowed?

[rapid merlin]

i think so

[marsh lark]

ask THM

or like a mod

cuz I wouldn't assume it would be

[rapid merlin]

i cant tag them

[marsh lark]

you can

its not against the rules

cuz it is a genuine question

@mossy river can we team up with other people during the Hack2Win event to get more tickets and whatever?

or is it completely individual?

[marsh lark]

actually

[blissful current]

idk if its individual or teamwise possible...anyways anything is fine

according to whatever admin says

[marsh lark]

just making sure, cuz I'm curious as well

[blissful current]

ya

Jabba is either lurking or actually offline

[tough fiber]

[marsh lark]

LOL yes

[blissful current]

[marsh lark]

I don't really care about Hack2Win

yes

you can

but you don't have a good chance of getting it, but the thing is

[rapid merlin]

i am doing it for chance to win free pt1 voucher

[blissful current]

even google or ai isnt giving any hints

[pine peak]

xd

[marsh lark]

you get some percentage amount of XP more from questions (50%, 20%, depends) for some duration

[marsh lark]

wouldn't the company expect them to do it on their own

[marsh lark]

I mean

[pine peak]

what is the challangr

[marsh lark]

try solving them

[frozen gull]

i mean i wouldnt help

maybe drop a hint

[marsh lark]

unless

[frozen gull]

or try it myself

[marsh lark]

the company

gave

strict permission

to do that

we can't really help

[undone arch]

they just gave me a zip file and a url to exploit (its their own created url)

[marsh lark]

try stuff out

[blissful current]

[undone arch]

i am

[marsh lark]

be careful tho

[undone arch]

from past 24 hours

[pine peak]

what does zip file

[marsh lark]

yup, good

[pine peak]

contain

[marsh lark]

🤷

[frozen gull]

u have a virtual machine setup ?

[pine peak]

tools?

[marsh lark]

with no context?

[undone arch]

yeah

kali

[marsh lark]

then, they are trying to challenge you I think

[undone arch]

did nmap scan and things i learned before, ffuf etc.

[frozen gull]

then perform scans on that url

open ports

[marsh lark]

check the files in the zip

[pine peak]

port 80 is open i just know it

[marsh lark]

try to find something

[pine peak]

idk why

[frozen gull]

maybe open the url they are tryna test ur web exploitation

[blissful current]

http?

[frozen gull]

try everything bro

[undone arch]

yeah

okay

[rapid merlin]

scan all ports

[frozen gull]

what extenstion do u have inside zip files files

[pine peak]

my RNA polymerase is in the middle of synthesizing my mRNA

We can't help with that. Part of the rules:
"Rule 5 - No Cheating,

[undone arch]

a .yml file and a normal file both named dockerfile

nah dont need you guys to solve it for me

[frozen gull]

ohhhhhh

[marsh lark]

try EVERYTHING

thats basically

what we can give you

[pine peak]

what is the site

[frozen gull]

try rustscan

its better

[blissful current]

[rapid merlin]

its only faster

[pine peak]

is the site just login page?

[frozen gull]

ah even i gotta practice sm ctfs bruv

ngl

[rapid merlin]

good for more targets but for one nmap is better

[river garden]

aight, I'm going to be the one to say it: We are not allowed to help with this kind of thing;
the only advice I can give you is to grab an AI assistent and discuss the issue with it;
try multiple services or restart the convo if you are not making any advancements;
claude.ai is very good, however they have become more restrictive wrt blocking requests

[pine peak]

i wish i got intership cyber sec

[marsh lark]

well, denial said it as well 🤣

either way

yeah

we can't help with specific stuff
