general

[whole yew]

in all realistic worlds, if your job is linux sysadmin vim, sed, awk ought to be required tooling to learn

[olive tree]

i can still use nano

[dark wolf]

Then you can go into vim and from within vim you can execute files, so you can execute the root shell from in vim,

I don't know why else you would use it though

[whole yew]

nano is included in most most stable distro defaults these days, vi/vim are not default installed but they are going to be in the package management repos

[winged nimbus]

i was sick and wasn't able to do thm but i didn't loose my streak

[blissful stirrup]

😭😭

[blissful stirrup]

how?

[whole yew]

i forced one of my devs to use vim and nothing but vim for a month - he absolutely refused to go back to nano at the end of the period

[dark wolf]

For example, if I opened up a file with 100 lines in vim and I wanted to go to line 50 and delete 10 lines I would type

50G10dd

[olive tree]

python is the best programming language to learn if im in the cybersecurity field yeah?

[blissful stirrup]

vim is interesting

[winged nimbus]

i forced myself to start using neovim recently and i kinda like it

[olive tree]

do you own a company?

[whole yew]

any programming language is the best language to learn. You'll get more use early on from bash or powershell.

[whole yew]

No. He was attached to a cybersecurity project I managed, and he was my intern. Since I was able to define the allowed tool list, his options were vim or ed.

[dark wolf]

whatever happened to csh and zsh, nobody likes them lol

[whole yew]

eh, more modern versions. They are fully compatible with bash commands IIRC, just more secure.

[dark wolf]

Ahh, I haven't studied shells too much in detail.

Just have always used bash

except when I was using OpenBSD

[olive tree]

also, if i want to impress employers, what exactly do i put on my cv BESIDES certificates? i have seen AI say "create home labs" but idk what that really means

[dark wolf]

I had OpenBSD as my firewall connected to my 56k modem and running BitchX to talk on IRC and a network card in it and my windows 95 machine and shared the network connection for my modem between the two comptuers.

[river garden]

"Hacked NASA" is good on cv

[dark wolf]

TBH I don't think employers care if you have a home lab, that doesn't impress them.

[olive tree]

ah yes and then get executed on the spot

[whole yew]

certificates will not impress employers. Certifications might, but really, the only thing taht will impress employers is fixing your resume to present your experiences and knowledge in the way that is most useful for the job req you are applying for.

[olive tree]

what exactly impresses them then

[whole yew]

Homelab is a good thing to be able to talk about

[river garden]

*employed

[dark wolf]

Don't say that in front of KGB, I'm sure he feels different.

[whole yew]

But that's interview stuff, not resume stuff

[dark wolf]

Being honest, being willing to learn, knowing what you know, admitting what you don't, being easy to get along with, having the right attitude, fitting in with the culture

Asking questions about the job and the day to day look of what you will do.

[olive tree]

im not really sure how to format my CV in a way that will look appealing to employers especially since i DONT KNOW what to put and how to start

[whole yew]

Definitely all that, as well. If i catch a candidate lieing or misrepresenting themself on the resume, it's an automatic blackball.

[dark wolf]

AI does it for you now and AI reads it for them, so that's a tough one

[whole yew]

ai is largely doing keywrod matching

it's basically extra-fancy regex, and i know several recruiters that hate using it

[olive tree]

cant i combat this by telling my AI to reformat my cv to match the job's description

[whole yew]

their success rates with the AI filters are substantially less than manual review

[dark wolf]

My linked in title says Highly Experienced Network Engineer

[whole yew]

It will lie. Don't do it.

[olive tree]

ah

awesome

so i need to manually readjust it? okay okay

[dark wolf]

Keep putting your resume out, follow up with the company, ask for feedback when you can talk to someone, keep repeating the cycle it can take months or more than a year

look at job postings, see what certs they want, see what they want you to know, study those things, get those certs focus on that

[olive tree]

can i at some point in the future ask you guys for feedback?

[dark wolf]

It's different depending on wher e you live

People are here all the time and love providing feedback

[olive tree]

awesome

[tender coral]

guys where can we share memes in this server?

[olive tree]

just to set my expectations low, i most likely wont get into the cybersecurity field instantly after graduation, yeah?

i'll most likely just be an IT guy for a few years and then slowly enter the cyber field?

[river garden]

y is chat dead and I see people typing for like an hour

[river garden]

k it was actually a bug

got flushed when I entered the msg

[river garden]

if unfunny you will get banned tho

[dapper steeple]

Hello Everyone, I am new here, and need a little guidance on how I can find the related challenge according to the room, like I need to find a challenge for "Linux Fundamentals" for practice more.. Thank you..

[proud abyss]

I didnt know that sry

[chilly notch]

How long does a room review take? I submitted my room 2 months ago, but there has been no change in the review status.

[dark wolf]

I have never done one, not sure where to ask

[deft dew]

[deft dew]

why dont watch compTIA Linux+ and js use linux

[clear jackal]

vi isnt standard? I guess I may have a narrow view, but vi has been on most if not all systems I've used

aww, sorry, I didn't see how long ago that was

[dark wolf]

No, vi is on nearly every linux/unix system

it's nano thats only on consumer linux distros primarily

[dapper steeple]

I already completed this room, need to practice the commands more like in real world, so I am looking for a related challenge/lab.. How to find it..

There are a lot of challenges, how can I find the related one..

[dark wolf]

try searching for linux on the site

[dapper steeple]

Are these rooms on thm..?

[strong fjord]

i dont think so

It's a certification

which has resources

that can be found online

[whole yew]

Lol no worries. On some newer distros, they do not include it as a default because it is viewed as being too archaic

[clear jackal]

I'm not a grey beard, but I find that annoying

[wind lake]

ok boomer

:p

[clear jackal]

Its faster to use versus other editors

[wind lake]

vi/vim is a necessary fallback imo

[clear jackal]

Idk about emacs, haven't used that

[clear jackal]

Yeah, either or. My vote is vi because I'm lazy and don't want to type a third character

Colored text in vim is nice though

[grim sparrow]

:hammer: ex0ticpakk#0 has been banned.

[fervent cove]

Are the lecturers asleep too?

Perfect moment for catching some sleep, especially for the ones who have troubles sleeping the night before.

i can never get good sleep the day before school, big shift in the air

[floral ice]

look it its so ugly

[rapid merlin]

oh yes in that image it was looking so much different

[tidal sierra]

Nice

Just like the pre build plastic case, I have

[rapid merlin]

yes it looks like the old geometry box

[tidal sierra]

Looks really good ngl

[floral ice]

no its ugly 😭😭😭 thats why im makeing a new one

[tidal sierra]

Its good

Np

[rapid merlin]

you are making your own one but why

[tidal sierra]

Make new one n share

[rapid merlin]

it could fit your needs what you will do on a case

[floral ice]

This does not look good😭😭😭😭😭 so so ugly

the colors are so bad the case it self is fine but the color NAHHHH

[floral ice]

buying a case is expensive and its free 99 if i print it

[blissful current]

Yes

[floral ice]

same day shipping too

keke

[rapid merlin]

yoo its too good have you made any games till now

[blissful current]

Production level I have 1 prototype , still work in progress
And one more in progress but since my GPU is dead, until the new motherboard arrives I can't work on them further.

Majority of my remaining projects were hackathon based made within 24-72hrs

[rapid merlin]

so have you uploaded any game to steam now or any demo of the game and also are you using unreal engine

[blissful current]

Not yet uploaded

[rapid merlin]

Which type games they are

[blissful current]

And yes I use unreal engine

[blissful current]

3d action , FPS and TPS

[rapid merlin]

oh yeah unreal is best then unity because unity is too boring

[tidal sierra]

U might have heard some games, he made

[blissful current]

One is pure multiplayer only , one will be story mode + multiplayer

[blissful current]

No

Depends on what you're making , Unity is best for mobile and VR games (mostly) and Unreal for high visuals and physics engine quality on PC/console

Performance will be trash on Unreal engine unless heavily optimised

[tidal sierra]

Piss on Warden is gonna be great

[rapid merlin]

yes you are right but the unity graphics are not good at all but unreal graphics are so good

[blissful current]

Piss the warden*
Oh well it's an original idea so I hope so

[tidal sierra]

I know

It sounds cool ngl

[blissful current]

It can be good depends on how u develop ..also another variant of Unity exists for competing Unreal engine called Unity6

[rapid merlin]

oh yeah now that is out so unreal have to be careful

[tidal sierra]

Triple AAA titles r made in unreal engine

[carmine oasis]

Good morning

[blissful current]

Not necessarily

[tidal sierra]

Morning

[tidal sierra]

Oh

[blissful current]

Majority of the AAA studios use their own custom engines

[rapid merlin]

are you a programmer in c++ or you are working in blueprints i am into hacking but i know a lot of about gaming also

[blissful current]

For eg , Cod are made on IW engine
Rockstar makes on RAGE engine
Etc

[blissful current]

Both

[tidal sierra]

Yaa Rage engine i remember

[blissful current]

Battlefield uses Frost engine

[rapid merlin]

yoo you are great then if you have any materials made in unreal can we see it share it with us

[tidal sierra]

Redengine 3

[blissful current]

Those are closed-sourced engine unlike these open source ones like unity , Godot , Unreal and tons of small ones

[blissful current]

Ah yes CD Projekt RED uses it

[tender coral]

[dark wolf]

Yeah, what's your angle GoodBoi

[tidal sierra]

Yaa

[floral ice]

yaaaaaaa

[tidal sierra]

I don't know red teaming means

I know pentesting

[tawny kraken]

does anyone remember the name of talking sasquach's thm room/ctf

[dark wolf]

I just got here 58 days ago

I haven't done one like that

I've only done 196 rooms

[molten sky]

generally, a broad pen test with few guardrails to directly counter and test an organization's defenses, typically without their knowledge (authorized by higher ups, just without informing those defending), acting as if they were a legitimate attacker

alternatively, there are setups where the defenders are informed and it turns into a true red/blue threat hunting scenario

differs from just a standard pen test in that a simple pen test may often have a very limited scope (i.e. just one application) and everyone knows in advance what's being done, so they're actively disregarding reports due to it being a known-authorized activity

[floral ice]

ONLY he says

[molten sky]

tldr; scope, guardrails, who knows

[tawny kraken]

i've only done 308

but i can't seem to find this one

[molten sky]

like you're not gonna tell the security guard out front, but they might try to break in some other way (if physical is authorized)

[dark wolf]

When you know it's coming you can find it, it's when you don't know it's coming that they should be terrified of.

[tidal sierra]

Cool, thnx

So basically advanced pentesting @molten sky

[molten sky]

in a way

[tidal sierra]

Cool

[dark wolf]

pentesting you have a more formal set of guidlines from how i understand it

[molten sky]

also, rather than just finding and reporting, you've got a lot of room to pivot and see what damage can be done (without actually doing that damage)

[tidal sierra]

Ohh

[molten sky]

we brought a firm on recently and pretty much just said "figure it out" and didn't tell anyone

[dark wolf]

Nice!

It's all fun and games until the execs find out how much it's going to cost to patch the extensive list of security holes which the engineers will assure the management that it's not that big of a risk becuase they don't fully understand it.

[molten sky]

that's literally my job, lol

corporate is fun

[dark wolf]

yup, i gathered as much

im a network engineer

[molten sky]

luckily since we're in a fairly regulated industry they can't as easily say no to fixing things

[vivid cypress]

Hello

How’s everyone?

[dark wolf]

Yup, but then again, those regulations have to actually be enforced which seems to be eroding a bit these days.

[molten sky]

oh trust me, they're enforced here

[dark wolf]

Good!!

[floral ice]

Helllllllllo im goood wbu

[dark wolf]

They should be. It shouldn't be a matter of paying someone off

[vivid cypress]

Good too! Just try to put plugins on neovim and also, just trying to understand some basics

[dark wolf]

Basics on vim?

[vivid cypress]

Even got crazy after installing gentoo

[vivid cypress]

Vim and Neovim

[molten sky]

ngl i switched to neovim a while back and part of me still wonders why tf i did when literally everything i've done worked in vim as well

[floral ice]

thats good!! thats coool (:

[bleak quartz]

It's basically emulating real-world attacks to test an organization's defences, strategies, it goes way deeper and the scope is larger than just pentesting, as the point is to hack them so other's can't hack them.

[vivid cypress]

Because I’m super bunny wanna code on neovim or trying vim

[bleak quartz]

I've a huge passion for it and see it as a potential job at some point

[vivid cypress]

With nano

Nano is easy as I understand how to use it

[molten sky]

that was my target as well but sadly enough there's more money in management over it than actually being in the weeds

[vivid cypress]

But i wanna try some code editors

[floral ice]

(: Lol i wish u good luck with that

[vivid cypress]

Thanks Darling

[dark wolf]

Use the arrows to move around
50G to go to line 50
yy to copy a line
dd to delete a line
i to insert
ESC to go back to command mode

[glacial berry]

👀

[vivid cypress]

50 G? Gigabyte?

[bleak quartz]

Yeah, well my plans are for something else than just monetary gain

[molten sky]

(don't tell him how to exit)

[dark wolf]

and you can search with / in command mode

/hello

in command mode seaches hello

[stable pier]

Left to right right right to left oh yayaya

[glacial berry]

Looks like it doesn't exist 👀 👀 👀

[dark wolf]

In command mode do this to exit remember to hit ESC first

:x
that saves a file
:q!
that quits and saves no changes

[molten sky]

if you can swing it then I 100% recommend --- it can be a pain to move into, since most places want experience, and you can't get that experience without getting in, and so on

[glacial berry]

Is it for vim? 👀 👀

[molten sky]

most people get in via internal transfer ime

[dark wolf]

Remember, you can NEVER hit ESC too many times

[vivid cypress]

Really? I didn’t use X

[dark wolf]

Yes!

[molten sky]

i spam tf outa esc when in vim, even if already in normal mode

[glacial berry]

Mmmmm 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀

[dark wolf]

not having to move your hand to the mouse makes editing WAY quicker somtimes

[bleak quartz]

Yeah, well the aim for me is serving in the army so there's always a spot to fill haha

[dark wolf]

But editing 300 line scripts in vim can get tiresome

I did it for 17 years now I use IDE

[molten sky]

when i was graduating hs there were some really good signing bonus for cyber iirc, wonder if that's still the case

years ago

[molten sky]

config? vim. monolithic code? vscode.

[dark wolf]

PyCharm

[vivid cypress]

I use vim btw

But I’m thinking to use nine

[dark wolf]

I have so many python files all over the place

[molten sky]

ah i deal with a buncha crap at random so vscode allows more flexibility for me

one of the FEW things microsoft hasn't yet ruined

[dark wolf]

I'm competing with the library distribution lol

[tidal sierra]

Thnx

[floral ice]

lol the only one i know

[dark wolf]

Don't give them any ideas

[molten sky]

on that note -

rip github

[vivid cypress]

[tidal sierra]

[dark wolf]

Yeah, I have it installed, but I got used to PyCharm and I'm not gonna learn C or JAVA

[vivid cypress]

Goodboi

[dark wolf]

I'll stick with understanding those languages to do RE

[tidal sierra]

Bunny 🐰

[dark wolf]

but not write scripts or programs

Jabba is sleeping GoodBoi

[molten sky]

a lot of python for my own stuff but the occasional C and the occasional golang or bash
but when working with other projects, it's always an unkown

[vivid cypress]

I’ll use hydra btw

[molten sky]

project I pulled these CVEs on now is all golang

[tidal sierra]

Potassium

[molten sky]

some rust on occasion

[dark wolf]

You matched the CVE against the clients inventory?

[vivid cypress]

I use rust

[dark wolf]

I thought you said you discovered it lol

[molten sky]

this is unrelated to work --- helping them with the fix before distrib

[vivid cypress]

My stomach hurt me

[molten sky]

btw ™

[vivid cypress]

No

[dark wolf]

PeptoBismo

[vivid cypress]

I use gentoo btw

[tidal sierra]

Damn

[vivid cypress]

Because I drink pepsi

[molten sky]

[tidal sierra]

Instead of water

[molten sky]

should work

[vivid cypress]

1 ltter

[dark wolf]

Pepsi is 98% water

[vivid cypress]

What pilk

[molten sky]

this man doesn't know pilk!

[tidal sierra]

That's tough

Y is GoodBoi doing all this

[floral ice]

...

[tidal sierra]

him

[floral ice]

BRO

😭😭😭😭😭

ur so mean to me😭

[half onyx]

Im taking the pentesting test and im going crazy. Are there not supposed to be vulnerabilites in the room? IT said XSS is there but I tried everything

Just curious so I stop wasting time

[stoic quarry]

What room is it?

[half onyx]

PT1 Exam

[stoic quarry]

Oh

#pt1

[carmine oasis]

Sorry

We don't give any answers for exam

Try harder

[half onyx]

Like am I supposed to solve every vulnerability listed? It seems like a lot for 48 hours...

Im just confused byt he instructions.

[karmic wave]

You will get no answer for that here ^^ But if they said there's one .... there is oone 😅

[half onyx]

Not looking for answers. You'd spoil the fun ;). I just want to know if I am wasting my time or not.

[floral ice]

go back to ur exam before u run out of time

[carmine oasis]

Yeah

[tidal sierra]

Me chilling

[half onyx]

I'm gonna run out of time no matter what lol

[floral ice]

U chilling more like u evil

[half onyx]

Lose lose situation

[tidal sierra]

Me good boi

Not bad boi

[floral ice]

with ur mind set ofc u will lose

[half onyx]

I wish THM would have better instructions tbh

very vague

for such a content heavy exam

[north crest]

i want to learn tunneling 😔

[carmine oasis]

Web is fucking hard. Malware development is extremely hard.

[floral ice]

U get a free retake so wots the issue

[half onyx]

I don't have malware in the exam

[tidal sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/cavar-denver-jaime-lorente-la-casa-de-papel-excavar-gif-17065126

[stoic quarry]

You know what to work on next

[north crest]

kekekekekekkekekeekekeekkkeke no.

[half onyx]

I have a feeling every retake is gonna be different. Different vulns

[carmine oasis]

You should not rely just on THM.

You should do your own research too.

[half onyx]

I already reset 2 times

[tidal sierra]

Obviously

[floral ice]

😭

[karmic wave]

this one is an exam you will not have more, in guided room you have precise instruction not in the exam
If tomorrow you start to work at a pentester the client will not say to you how to hack his website you will not even know what you are looking for and if you're looking for something
PT1 is made to be realistic

[north crest]

why ios tunneling topics considered for advanced people in this server

like whyyy

[tidal sierra]

Knowledge is sacred

[floral ice]

cuz cyber has a lot of topics

[karmic wave]

If you buy the exam voucher you have a retake, after this one if you fail go hard on every challenge and try later you'll succeed

[half onyx]

Pretty realistic for a "beginner" cert

Nice advertising THM

[floral ice]

study my bruh studyyyyyyyyyy

[carmine oasis]

Tunneling is advance.

[half onyx]

I spend 3-4 hrs a day
