So question about the general security scene - are there any like, programs for smaller businesses to pay for cyber security when they barely have a budget for anything else? Like are there any programs or grants a small business can leverage to protect itself

First they gave the option to pay per device for extended security updates

Now it turned into this:

For some countries in Europe anyway, other countries are still in the same boat as before, afaik

sand trench

yeah feels interesting that microsoft lets EU members get extended security suppot for free while the USA does not get the same curtesyu

mortal ether
#

Aside from the whole security side of things, a lot of people were also just very annoyed and disappointed that a TON of devices would basically end up in landfills because of this

Even though a lot of these devices would be perfectly fine to use for years to come (aside from the security issue if they stop providing updates)

Guys, hypothetically speaking, if I rm -rfed my /bin folder... what now

as long as you got a shell running you can technically do things like read files and navigate the system

Yeah but let's take hackthebox - 8 quid a month for students

But 15? My university cohort all used to use tryhackme, but now most students have been outpriced

and like that shadow has clairified what dkob meant with we can't really help... we can't help you counterhack hackers as that would be illegal.. but we could try and help you report on the malware so what ever platform hosts the game either removes it or informs the users that it is bad

tryhackme support and your bank would be the ones to know the reasons why your debit card fails to pay for tryhackme

also the enabling autoupdates isn't even the best option atm;

atm its best to wait until you can confirm the update isn't going to brick your system or hardware;

that said though frequent manual updates are a good idea on linux, that's why arch is awesome;

it lets you use proton for anything;

is that like wine?

grizzled sky

no its proton;

dark wolf

no idea what it is

#

ii use linux for servers mostly

grizzled sky

proton is the compatibility layer you use on linux;

#

and every game i've tried with it so far works;

dark wolf
#

It's come a long way

grizzled sky
#

there are some that have kernel level anticheat, but otherwise it all runs or runs better than windows;

blazing granite
grizzled sky
#

tldr because of a lack of windows bloat, linux tends to get beter performance than windows in the majority of modern games;

#

if anything, its old games that require windows to run a server and then another windows to run as client that can be a pain to set up;

blazing granite
grizzled sky
#

but that can be done with bottles or heroic game launcher if necessary;

#

btw this includes running windows vr games, though you have to tools to set that up;

#

its definetely doable once you get alvr set up though;

#

i have been playing escape room simulator on my quest headset, connected to my linux gaming machine, and now that i have the drivers set up it just works;

#

currently i am using endeavoros, but when i have the energy to set it up i'm planning to run https://cachyos.org/ since it has a lot of gaming specific optimizations that improves performance even more;

🚀 CachyOS is an Arch Linux-based distribution that offers an easy installation, several customization options to suit every user, and special optimizations for improved performance while remaining simple.

#

and no, it being arch based doesn't mean its hard to use, cachy has a very good installer that basically makes it as easy as installing windows on a computer is, if not easier than windows;

Ah yes, the Linux gaming distros! Bazzite's currently my favourite as of the current moment

grizzled sky

but personally i would only use those for handhelds, for a linux gaming pc better off using something you can use for work too;

Granted, Bazzite made me really appreciate SilverBlue and immutable distributions. You can use those + LXCs to achieve much of the same shenanigans

its worth mentioning distrobox is a thing;

so software availability isn't really a problem between different distros anymore;

It's somehow still chugging along now actually from what I recall?

grizzled sky
#

granted if you're going for security, ideally try to install everything as flatpaks if possible;

tall vine
blazing granite
grizzled sky
#

the big advantage of flatpak for security is mostly that they are not able to access your home files unless you allow them with flatseal, reducing the scope of risk if the software is rogue;

glacial cove
# grizzled sky its worth mentioning distrobox is a thing;

I figured this was going to be mentioned, especially since Bazzite does feature it preinstalled

I used to be a massive fan, but after some janks and issues I realised it basically just does what an LXC + GUI profile does but more unsafely and in a hacky way

blazing granite
grizzled sky
#

whoops replied to the wrong person;

#

but tldr sandboxing is the big reason to use flatpak;

#

as a rule if i can i always install as a flatpak specifically for the security that comes with knowing there's less data it could be sharing even if it turns out to be a malicious software;

glacial cove
#

LXCs are already as lightweight, persistent and easy to access;

They're much nicer to customise however, while Distrobox is a bit stiffer

You can mount files granularly and choose what bits of /home to share; you can isolate it from the network and edit how many network interfaces it has; you can restrict how it interacts with your display/audio sockets

#

Plenty of other funky stuff

grizzled sky
#

yeah for experienced users def use lxc or vms or whatever;

glacial cove
#

With a tiny bit of elbow grease I'd say a beginner could do it too! Copypaste a GUI profile, pop any image from the LXC repos and you're halfway there with minimal hassle

grizzled sky
#

i mean i find virtualization easy with qemu cause you can just copy and paste the install code, but there are still people who get nervous when they hear the word virtualization;

#

same with docker;

glacial cove
#

I'm really not sure why a tool similar to Distrobox doesn't exist but as a wrapper around LXC to be honest, it would've truly been the best way of doing things

#

From the perspective of what them two solutions achieve generally, at least

glacial cove
#

Containers are more like, run 1 or 2 commands in a terminal and figure out what image you wanna use 😅

Or use the built in webGUI on Incus to streamline that further

#

Granted of course, Distrobox is a much more convenient way of doing things which doesn't require understanding the tools themselves as much

#

My point being, LXCs are surprisingly not that complicated for what it's worth and it confused me to see how similar it was to Distrobox yet more fleshed out due to its' nature

What route do people take when pivoting from backend web dev? I feel pretty comfortable with web app pen testing, can I just study for oscp or will people still ask about sec+?

yes, but then, there are a lot of questions the THM team has to think about:

  1. will this make them go bankrupt?
  2. how will this be implemented
    And the differences is that creating a challenge box an algorithm problem is VERY different (creating the challenge box is MUCH harder)

I wouldn't like to have ANOTHER currency type of thing on the site (but thats just my opinion)
