Hi 👋

[rapid merlin]

[narrow yew]

you can for sure have it on the CV, but its nothing that comes with weight

if you have a good score, top 50 in your contry. that is better

[vernal pendant]

sure, in mcdonalds

[narrow yew]

yes @rapid merlin I know tagged wrong, who gives 😄

[native bloom]

McDonald’s is underrated, top tier employer

[slow cloud]

Do you have a degree of some kind in IT

[silver sky]

My second ever job was McDonald's

[native bloom]

Not directly, I mean I have various certifications, but not from university

[narrow yew]

You can mention it as something you to to keep yourself updated. That is about it.

[loud marlin]

nothing better when you get home and they call you to get back on work =/

[rapid merlin]

Hey

you can mention it in an interrvju that you are doing TryHackMe, you dabbled with Hackthebox.
We do THM in my team

My colleuge is top 50 in Aussie and I know he mentioned in his intervju

[loud marlin]

btw @narrow yew we talk of that optic cable i have. iirc you told you kinda need it? is that still case. i can send it since i have no usage of it at all

[raven dove]

[rapid merlin]

@native bloom I'm a janitor

[native bloom]

That’s actually cool

[narrow yew]

@raven dove why would be acting like that

[loud marlin]

there is like shoit load of lenght of it

[narrow yew]

I have no idea what you are about.

I do not need your switch

I have a Paloalto firewall on my desk taking care of my network

[raven dove]

Should I first complete pentest plus or soc level 1 in tryhackme

[loud marlin]

iirc you say for cable it self... or i miss member smth

[narrow yew]

What would you like the end result to be from those?

[rapid merlin]

Hi 👋

[raven dove]

I need to be placed in a company my the end of the next year

[narrow yew]

You want to do SOC?

[raven dove]

Hi

[narrow yew]

Do the SC-200

That will help you get out to a company

A company that have SOC team would know what SC-200 cert from microsoft is. They would NOT know what Soc level-1 from tryhackme is

[raven dove]

Can you suggest best course for thar

Can you provide me a link

[narrow yew]

I can not do that, if you need a link to find that cert from MS you are in too deep water

[native bloom]

@narrow yew Where or what is your work/role? because you seems to know about things

[narrow yew]

I work in a SOC team

[native bloom]

Oou ok so blue team

[raven dove]

Okay

[autumn gust]

Hi guys someone finished Threat Hunting Simulator Typo Snare ?

[narrow yew]

I do anything that comes to my table, mostly blue as a SOC but we do red team, pentest, CTFS etc.

I kind of do a little bit of everything

[native bloom]

That’s cool, but because you want it or the company can’t afford a red team only?

[narrow yew]

We dont need a red team, we have knowlage in the team and there are services that sort most security issues.

[native bloom]

I see, sounds great Man

I want too, but still learning

[native bloom]

Yea true that

[rapid merlin]

That's great actually

Experience is good

As wat u getting experience?

[native bloom]

Definitely, no exp no Party in most companies

[narrow yew]

Working 6 months in a company will be usefull to land a job

[native bloom]

Exactly, this is the time amount we will spend in the company

[narrow yew]

When you get in to it after a month you will do the work someone else does not have to do. Then after 6 months they will realise they need someone filling that spot

Somebody was complaining.

[sick lance]

That's what is set on the room.

[marsh lark]

are you no longer a community legend?

[sick lance]

kek!

[sick hound]

Is anyone a cyber security expert?

[pallid lotus]

I didn't set it
That room predates that system

[marsh lark]

[sick lance]

Yup, it was better whan it was 0 min(s).

[loud marlin]

what was first room on thm ?

[sick lance]

Are you going to HackGlasgow 2026?

[pallid lotus]

Nope. Had my roles stripped a while back for speaking out against the company while wearing a role which could be interpreted as representing them. Which is fair enough 🤷‍♂️

[pallid lotus]

You know, I actually used to know that

[fossil galleon]

lads i need help, i m going for uni of central lancashire and i dont know if i should choose BSc in Cyber security or BSc in Software Engineering, I have plans to finish masters in cyber security from there too, some people told me to finish Bsc in software engineering and then go for masters in cyber as in cyber security i need to know how softwares work. Plz give me info on what should i do

[marsh lark]

thats what I don't understand, people who were community legends should stay as community legends

[pallid lotus]

Can't remember now though

[marsh lark]

other roles: understandable

[sick lance]

Why do you need a masters?

[loud marlin]

sort by date helps or there is some older that that ?

[pallid lotus]

Apparently it counts as representing them 🤷‍♂️

[fossil galleon]

helps for getting hired

[sick lance]

I never understood that either.

[pallid lotus]

Does it?

[sick lance]

Does it though?

[fossil galleon]

idk

maybe

[pallid lotus]

So why are you set on it if you don't know?

[sick lance]

Inagine wasting money.

[stuck ridge]

Yo guys

[pallid lotus]

Do SAAS not pay for masters?

Not in England granted

[stuck ridge]

Nvm

[fossil galleon]

some say if i do bacholers in software engineering then masters in cyber i will know how modern day softwares are made and will have better understanding of how to exploit them

[sick lance]

It does, but they're not in Scotland. 😛

[fossil galleon]

and cuz of that reason idk if i should choose bsc in cyber security or bsc in software engineering

[pallid lotus]

Not wrong, but you will be pricing yourself out of many junior roles

And you won't be getting senior roles with no xp

[austere verge]

Kinda depends what kind of cybersecurity role u want too

[sick lance]

To get this job, you need XP, to get XP, you need a job.

[fossil galleon]

why is that

[sick lance]

Rinse and repeat.

[marsh lark]

same problem in governments

[sick lance]

Or the job industry?

[marsh lark]

no like

[topaz sedge]

Entry level job with 10 years experience req

[marsh lark]

when choosing a government official

people think the older they are, the more experience they have

[sick lance]

Whilst using software tha is only 2 years old.

[pallid lotus]

Because people who hold masters degrees generally command a higher salary than people who don't. Which leads hiring managers to think you'll ask for more than the junior role has attached to it.

[grim sparrow]

:hammer: spiritualsight#0 has been banned.

[fossil galleon]

oh then if i choose to just do bsc which should i choose for becoming an SOC analyst or security architect, should i choose bsc in cyber security or bsc in software engineering

[austere verge]

Cybersecurity probs

[pallid lotus]

General computer science is probably best there. If that's not an option then probably cyber security, yeah.

[austere verge]

Actually for security architect since u needa code software engineering

Idk

Depends what u want

[fossil galleon]

ok thank you for the information

[twin ridge]

[pallid lotus]

End of the day it doesn't matter nearly as much as you think it will though.
A degree is a degree. Technical hiring managers care whether you can demonstrate the skills they need. HR care that you have a degree.

What that degree is tends to be irrelevant. What it teaches you is important

[sick lance]

And then fill the role internally anyway.

[pallid lotus]

Why would a security architect be coding?

[austere verge]

Idk

[sick lance]

Because AI said so.

[fossil galleon]

ok thank you for the info, will probably go for cyber security then

[austere verge]

Yea

Because ai said so

[sick lance]

Third and final attempt.

MUIRI ARE YOU GOING TO HACKGLASGOW 2026?

[pallid lotus]

Architecture is generally designing systems and writing best practice policies.
It's responsible for the overall security posture in an organisation.

[pallid lotus]

HUH SORRY I MISSED THIS. I HADN'T CONSIDERED YET. I MAY TAKE A LOOK.

[sick lance]

THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING.

[fossil galleon]

so my ultimate goal is to become a cybersecurity architect, what is the best path of achiving it

[sick lance]

Markdown changes everything.

[native bloom]

what the helli

[sick lance]

-# indoor voice please.

[pallid lotus]

🚁

[pallid lotus]

Probably via systems administration for that one

[sick lance]

Anyway.

Adios.

[sand trench]

[ashen cape]

Will it get to 0 with the next completion?

[dark wolf]

yes

[spiral grove]

Yo someone teach me hacking?

[marsh lark]

#start-here

[keen light]

[spiral grove]

I need someone i can learn with, just chatting, would challenge me

Is it a dumb request?

[marsh lark]

I think that tryhackme can help you learn ethical hacking

[loud marlin]

is not dumb q. you can try to find some with same interest in you local place/town. as i say. if you rise you own flag some will come. idk if that make sense to you.

[dark wolf]

I think the people that excel the most in this field are the people that can self study and self learn. Those are valuable skills that you use every day.

[rapid merlin]

@spiral grove does nobody find that name concerning 🤔

[spiral grove]

I think am the only person in my town

[loud marlin]

you do no need some with insterest in cyber direct. some who do it in general can fit in description.

[spiral grove]

What do you mean?

[loud marlin]

like if you find some frined or ppl in own town who doing IT and pc stuff. you can learn with that person. if you look for some to learn with.

i have friend who is doing firmware and so chip programming but not cyber/hacking like direct what learn. but i learn from him thing or two and he does from me thing or two

he is making smart house and IoT things, but not cyber as main thing. so we nake stuff and test what we make

so win=win

[spiral grove]

I will but, should i try online? Is it okay?

[loud marlin]

oh yea. you can find here for sure. there is more sites aside just THM that have same alike content and ppl

[rapid merlin]

Hello

Anyone from Jr pentesting

[marsh lark]

hello 🙂

[rapid merlin]

Hi 👋

[loud marlin]

and is you jsut starting. advice is to take notes all the way you learn. of all the things

[rapid merlin]

Ur asking if someone works as junior pentester?

[loud marlin]

read books, watch vids and so

[rapid merlin]

Like someone is doing jr pentesting path

[rapid merlin]

Ohhh completed it

Wbu

[upper minnow]

how would you call the findings on a pentest report

vulnerabilities? attack vectors?

[spiral grove]

I do take notes, and learning just randomly

[rapid merlin]

I'm currently doing it I'm on burp suite

[rapid merlin]

vulnerabilities

It's common

[rapid merlin]

Nice 🙂👍

Good luck

Thanks I wanna ask a question

[rapid merlin]

Sure

[loud marlin]

taking notes is must. big way. if starting, spend mos of times to learn just basic things. more of basic knowledge is of great of use when big stuff comes. when you know how things work in background will reflect of knowledge how things works top lvl

[rapid merlin]

Can we really get a job by doing try hack me paths like jr pentesting and after offensive pentesting etc

[rapid merlin]

U want the truth?

Of course

No

But it can prepare u for exams

Certs

What are u learning these days

Give u knowledge

So like is it good to be a hobby

[rapid merlin]

Started some blue teaming, after i did some red teaming

[loud marlin]

@spiral grove my advice, again. read book's. watch how ppl do stuff in general. how to approach things, what to do as beginner

[rapid merlin]

Oh so what u think is easy and enjoyable blue teaming or red teaming

[rapid merlin]

I like red

But to be better at red u need to know blue

[loud marlin]

also you can check if there is some live talks of ppl who do cyber or so.

[rapid merlin]

I see but idk like it js feels over whelming

[spiral grove]

Thanks by the way, i appriciate your advice, and will applie. I didn't thought an expert would reply to a noob

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @loud marlin (current: #23 - 441)

[rapid merlin]

Even Jr pentesting is feeling a bit complex at some rooms

[rapid merlin]

Learning is tough

Take a break

Touch grass

Comeback with a fresh mind

How long break

[rapid merlin]

It's good ur learning

[rapid merlin]

Depends on u

Average?

How old r u btw

[loud marlin]

im far from expert. take that for sure. depend of time you can give to learning first 1y, or so, ill advice to learn all the basic. how internet works in general. how all the things work in general, and why they do what they do

[rapid merlin]

Can I ask a question from u

[loud marlin]

sure

[sand trench]

sure

[rapid merlin]

Old enough to fight my own battles

[loud marlin]

so 14? 🙂

[rapid merlin]

U said learn all the basics how much basics we need to learn like js to understand or is it necessary to break at deep level

[rapid merlin]

[rapid merlin]

Tell actual age man

[rapid merlin]

No people bully me here

[loud marlin]

#general message this

[sand trench]

depends on what you are trying to hack or secure

and yes agree with ralex here

knowing how to do note taking will save you a lot of time in the end

[rapid merlin]

Tell me maybe I'm younger than u

I'm 14 guys

[sand trench]

if you feel completely stuck on taking notes you could also try the teaching others or teaching a rubber ducky how to do what you are trying to learn

[marsh lark]

you can't force them to

[loud marlin]

aslo, nmap is most basic/standard app to use as i say when ppl start. but nmap is big tool that can serve of god alike purpose

[rapid merlin]

I'm 14 and I know html css python and now I'm in hacking

[marsh lark]

welcome 🙂

[sand trench]

feel like wireshark also is a big tool to learn and understand how things work

[marsh lark]

cool

[rapid merlin]

Rubber ducky sounds fun, I like ur style shadow 🥰

[rapid merlin]

I'll definitely learn nmap

[loud marlin]

agree.

[marsh lark]

wireshark is the GOAT

[loud marlin]

nmap is must know tool. as most ppl know basic stuff, nmap have millions of thing to help

[sand trench]

personally use an old group of rocks with painted on eyes that shadow got as a gift ages ago

[rapid merlin]

Guys are these skills will get u job or this is js a hobby

[rapid merlin]

Wow, sounds cool🥰

[marsh lark]

it can get you a job

[quick blaze]

It's a hobby. 😄

[marsh lark]

in the future

[loud marlin]

that does not sound legal

[rapid merlin]

Oky

So u all are unemployed?

[sand trench]

social engineering can help you in basically all fields where you have at least some communication with someone

[marsh lark]

no lol

I'm not employed

others are

not EVERYONE

[blissful current]

i have 3 Jobs

[loud marlin]

and one advice i also give. if you take tool, any tool. and spend 3 full days. full 72h, you will know more that 70% ppl

[blissful current]

[rapid merlin]

Maybe

[marsh lark]

@mossy river @cloud quiver @gusty inlet

[blissful current]

LOL

[marsh lark]

you're talking about illegal activities, which is against the rules

🤷

[loud marlin]

jokes need to be funny...

[rapid merlin]

I have got my answer like instead of being Jack of all trades u should be master of one??

[grim sparrow]

:hammer: hacker1337hack#0 has been banned.

[blissful current]

REEEP

[sand trench]

jack of all trades
master of none
but oftentimes
better then master of one

is the full original quote

it is strange how few people know that is the full quote

[loud marlin]

as i say. more the basic will reflect in know how things works in top lvl

[rapid merlin]

I know

[blissful current]

so me rn ngl
but anyways , atleast i'll be able to earn fine enough and be independent financially

[quick blaze]

True!

[sand trench]

same with

the customer is always right
in matters of taste

[whole gazelle]

love this quote

[blissful current]

[loud marlin]

@rapid merlin if i read you know html/css. that knowledge can reflect when looking in page source of some website

[rapid merlin]

My problem is that when I learn new thing they seem fun and easy when I try to look deeper it gets complex and I can't handle that then I learn another thing learn basic when try to dive deep it got complex and I js can't understand it

[marsh lark]

well, you gotta use that basic knowledge you learned for advanced stuff

same with me during competitive programming 🤣

[blissful current]

use AI parallely to make u understand the stuff u cant in EASY and SIMPLE Ways with EXAMPLES

[rapid merlin]

Understood

[blissful current]

@marsh lark Did this my whole engineering too xD

[loud marlin]

apply same ting in other areas. if you know C++ or some other programming language is of great help understanding payloads/exploits

[rapid merlin]

It doesn't work like that

[blissful current]

and it helps!

[marsh lark]

it does....

how do you learn complex stuff then?

from nothing?

and you just know it?

[rapid merlin]

Nah I learn basic and complex stuff seem heavy then I try to learn more complex stuff and when I came back to that complex stuff it seems easier

[marsh lark]

that doesn't really seem like a good way of learning imo

[loud marlin]

learn expert stuff while not know basic will not result in big knowledge. ill say

[marsh lark]

you need to go step by step, you can't just take shortcuts

[blissful current]

but...u said u are facing issues learning/understandig complex stuff

[sand trench]

and there we go... shadow "fixed" their mpris problem in waybar by specifying a player in the config file

[raw spear]

guys is there any policy for uploading network writeups ?

[marsh lark]

that as well 🤣

[marsh lark]

like on THM?

[raw spear]

yes
wreath

[rapid merlin]

Exactly the way I use is not solution

[loud marlin]

in expert stuff you will across in some other basic stuff that you do not know and you will need to learn that basic and all repeat

[sand trench]

for most networks it is the same as making writeups for the other challenge rooms on tryhackme

[marsh lark]

I don't believe so, just the same policy as other rooms

[blissful current]

do 1 thing at a time , focus on 1 level of difficuty then move ahead to harder stuff

[rapid merlin]

Frr

[sand trench]

though it might take quite a while for your writeup to be accepted and put in the writeup dropdown on tryhackme

[rapid merlin]

Sure

[marsh lark]

thats why you gotta start with the basics

xD

[rapid merlin]

I'm a janitor

[marsh lark]

I have many names

then again. being janitor can learn you how to aproach janitors when doing physical pentest, if so. you know how to talk in that way/language. social engineering is great skill to get what you are get pay to do 🙂 if i explain it correct

[rapid merlin]

Social engineering, my favourite

[loud marlin]

yea. then you understand. and now when doing cyber you know how to solve is some try social eng to you

[rapid merlin]

Yaaa 😉

@loud marlin I'm giving u friend request, is that fine?

[loud marlin]

so... basic stuff that reflect when comes to expert stuff. and you will not let some in if they say: oh i forget my card/key

sure thing

[rapid merlin]

Cool

@loud marlin btw how's ur 3d printing project is going

[loud marlin]

my company have so called, man trap, if some try come in that have no pass. they let you in and they follow you in but in room where security start asking questions and you can't go out.

[rapid merlin]

[rapid merlin]

[loud marlin]

yea. you can't jsut walk in gov lab where we have things that this world is not ok to have lol

and we are guarded by security that have guns and no sense of hummor at all

[rapid merlin]

Damn bro

[raw spear]

any mods 😁

[loud marlin]

also. when i have to declare what i bring on work from home. and my bag need to match of weight of all items that i declared on paper. so if my work/job bagpack is 2kg and they weight it it needs to be 2kg and same items needs to be inside. so if i left my laptop charger home i need to go back and pick it up

[marsh lark]

why do you ask?

[raw spear]

i wanted to conform that writeup thing 🙂

At this rate, I'll never have an entry-level Helpdesk position 😔

[loud marlin]

they miss 15y in cyber sec and programming for help desk

[celest dirge]

This was taken from an actual posting too😭

It's all either Bachelor's degree, professional certs and 2-3 years of experience

[rapid merlin]

U need job for experience

[celest dirge]

Thing is, I can do everything they are looking for, but their requirements are just not it

[rapid merlin]

U need experience for job

[quick blaze]

Seems valid.

[celest dirge]

I should just start my own company, and self-employ myself that way I can "get" experience

[lament meteor]

you have to find a job that will sponsor you for Secret clearance - I'll admit, if that's an entry level position (it looks like it is), it's odd that they wouldn't state that they would sponsor you

[celest dirge]

I need to find one that will do that then

Hi

[grizzled sky]

https://youtu.be/8eDnmw7QHZg

[gray sonnet]

@loud marlin Hello 👀

long time no see

[grizzled sky]

watching this atm;

[soft skiff]

Hi

[loud marlin]

ello ello vain

[sand trench]

ah yes another person thinking all of the dark web is on tor

[grizzled sky]

neither i nor john hammond think that;

its just that tor is public dark web vs the private dark web we can't access if we aren't already a part of it;

not to mention the private home and business networks;

[sand trench]

???

i2p exists you know

and that is public

[gray sonnet]

how've you been?

[sand trench]

if you can call any dark web public

[loud marlin]

doing good. free weekend. time to clean room and so =)... you? being bussy ? hows health?

[grizzled sky]

i would argue everything is public if it isn't locked out of from public access;

when i say public, i mean designed for outside users to visit and not a closed community or network;

i2p absolutely can also fall under that, be it viewed on tor or any other toolset;

the entire term dark web is silly anyway considering the "dark web" absolutely has indexes even if not intentional ones;

[sand trench]

you get i2p client/server( it is both at the same time basically )
you start it up
you connect
you wait a few mins
tada you can now access the bible

[grizzled sky]

access to the bible is about as unrestricted as you can possibly make almost any document in human history?;

so more to my point that there's no such thing as private if it isn't a locked server with locked access to it;

[sand trench]

well depends a bit... but some of the most popular onion sites and i2p sites are copies of the bible

[gray sonnet]

health is getting better haha, got better insurance now

other than that, just busy with exams

[grizzled sky]

i mean if we're talking books, you don't need the tor browser to know something like library genesis exists;

that's probably the thing i think i disagree with the notion of web 3.0. the idea that you can create privacy focused apps and websites but have them be publically availible;

true private internet already exists, its called lan and the original purpose of vpns, stuff like tailscale for instance;

[loud marlin]

that's nice yea... other than that... got some good cyber news that you learn ?

[grizzled sky]

also sorry if i sound jaded, i am sick today and not in the best mood emotionally atm;

[sand trench]

more refering to that access to the bible is illegal in some countries and people use tor and i2p to get access to it to avoid being scrutinized or sent to prison or worse

[sand trench]

fair enoughs

[grizzled sky]

i mean every country bans at least some holy books;

they claim not to of couse;

[neat pond]

ah ok. i think this is one of those american christian disinfo campaigns that try to pretend the christian bible is especially censored while other religious texts aren't. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Satanic_Verses from what i could find, satanic verses seems to be one of if not the most banned books in terms of the amount of countries that ban it. and that's just in terms of well known holy books. obviously criminal books and materials with pictures of abuse are more commonly banned afaik;

certainly bible is up there in terms of popular banned books though;

If u are talking abt my bios yh It is however I can use my kalinux properlly

[cosmic pendant]

i've had that problem recently where secureboot interferes and it looks like that

[loud orbit]

Bro u there

With my VM I got a 80gb disk

Should I use entire disk guys or

Later on down the line I Carnt resize portions and stuff tho right

[loud marlin]

kali VM? use first yea

[river garden]

[grizzled sky]

if you created a vm that only has 80gb space, the installer should use all of that space because it is virtualizing a harddrive that has 80gb space;

[loud marlin]

you do not need lvm

[robust vector]

Hi there i wanna ask about soc analyst l2 path, can i enroll without premium? If not when does the free rooms end ?

[boreal scarab]

I found a photo of @mossy river working at THM

[loud orbit]

Let’s see

[grizzled sky]

if it is able to access the host hardware and installing to it, its not a virual machine its a dual boot install;

I got this massage this time

Thank you

Gave +1 Rep to @viscid acorn (current: #304 - 28)

[loud marlin]

w8? not VM?

[cosmic pendant]

you don't have an iso in

you have no media, select your boot media

[loud marlin]

then do not go first

if is not vm

since it looks like vm

[gray sonnet]

exactly

I love it

it's also a little bitch to get shit working, so 🤷‍♂️

[worldly pollen]

should I do from BIOS setting?

[tired wolf]

no

[tired wolf]

do you know what an iso file is

[grizzled sky]

also personally, this is part of the reason i like qemu;

or kvm;

[tired wolf]

im using qemu right now

[grizzled sky]

proprietary virtualizing is a pain;

[gray sonnet]

what the fuck

[grizzled sky]

so much guis to use instead of just being able to run a single installation file for whatever vm i am recreating;

[languid walrus]

Same

[worldly pollen]

tails-amd64-6.19.iso I have this one

[tired wolf]

what are you booting with

what is the image you are using for the virtual machine

if you are using anything, that is

[worldly pollen]

vmware

[grizzled sky]

omfg are you trying to create a vm of tailsos?;

[tired wolf]

thats a hypervisor

lad

watch a video

dont rawdog vmware

[grizzled sky]

isn't the whole point of that os to be boot off a usb stick?;

[tired wolf]

i tried to get it working with ventoy

[grizzled sky]

https://tails.net/

[tired wolf]

but it has problems with persistence

having a dedicated usb is better i guess

[grizzled sky]

that's literally a featutre not a bug;

[river garden]

[tired wolf]

no

[grizzled sky]

the whole point of tails is no persistence;

[tired wolf]

you can make it persist

[grizzled sky]

if you want to persist, have a second drive to save stuff to;

but os wise it should have as little persistence as possible for security reasons;

[dark wolf]

Diamond for Life!

[tired wolf]

its not about drives

[grizzled sky]

the whole point is you want to anonymize your usecase;

[river garden]

ehm

Diamond is unbreakable!

[tired wolf]

with usbs, you can have a second partition for persistent files

ventoy being ventoy, its unplausable

I got to the diamond league as soon as I joined within the 3 weeks to level

[grizzled sky]

https://tenor.com/view/shattered-glass-smite-gif-26294819

[dark wolf]

and I've been in the diamond league ever since

[river garden]

ORA

[dark wolf]

This week the diamond league is weak

[grizzled sky]

that's easier than my silver league lol;

[rapid merlin]

[river garden]

shoutout to #1 in the chat 👋

[grizzled sky]

almost like the leaderboard system is unbalanced lol;

[dark wolf]

I'm 13 only 192 pts this week

[hasty sand]

[dark wolf]

i''ve been at netscout engage so not much thm

[hasty sand]

The overall leaderboard is from 4 years of constant challenges / blood points. I'd say that is fair for everyone on it (not just including myself)

[dark wolf]

Hey 0day, nice to say hello to you lol

[hasty sand]

Nice to meet you too!

[dark wolf]

Love your shorts on YT, great information

[worldly pollen]

Ill try

[dark wolf]

I first saw you on your collaboration with scammer payback, that was an awesome video

[hasty sand]

Trying to do the new challenge but doesn't seem to be loading. Is anyone else having this issue?

[tired wolf]

its the hacker guy from defcon

[river garden]

I'll check

[hasty sand]

Ayee I love Pierogi, was just takling to him 20 minutes ago. Great person.

[red loom]

same

[grizzled sky]

i wasn't talking about the overall though;

[arctic dove]

I get a message about it being business subscriber only.

[loud orbit]

Yoo Supp

[hasty sand]

Oh, understood. I am not one of those 🤣

So I guess we're out of luck @arctic dove

[grizzled sky]

also all leaderboards are inherently biased towards participation;

[loud orbit]

It’s actuslly you

[dark wolf]

Doesn't load for me either

[tired estuary]

After I celebrated the Friday challenge being back, they do us like that...

[loud orbit]

First time I every seen u in here

[river garden]

was this room in #announcements ?

[tranquil lagoon]

can someone recommend me a nice XSS challenge, or any nice web challenges

[hasty sand]

I am here, but don't chat as much as I used to! Been traveling a lot and not a ton of time to hangout. Hopefully I get some time back.

[dark wolf]

traveling for work?

[hasty sand]

When I joined this communtiy many years ago I wasa a "community mentor" and really enjoyed helping the new members.

I'd love to start doing that again when the time becomes available.

[hasty sand]

[loud orbit]

Feels u real speaking to you
