general

[narrow yew]

why

Soon they are forcing Thales keys

[loud marlin]

my conmapy thinking to implement yubikey

[sand trench]

already using yubikeys for discord

[narrow yew]

I have Thales for works AD when not using phone for Auth

[loud marlin]

i need get my self one

will be nice to have one as implant with nfc/rfid or so

[lament meteor]

im surprised you don't like passkeys - is it a privacy thing?

yubikey is essentially the same thing as a passkey no?

they both use fido?

[sand trench]

mostly that they are a mess to keep secure and safe so you don't lose access to things

in comparison to passwords plus 2fa key

if you ever try to backup passkeys you will know the pain

[lament meteor]

i use passkeys in bitwarden

it syncs

[narrow yew]

🙁 I broke my VM

[lament meteor]

did you take a snapshot? lol

[narrow yew]

No, i would never remember to do that

[sand trench]

eh could probably use passkeys in keepassxc too

[lament meteor]

i typically take snapshots... but then when I break something, I look and realize my last snapshot was like 6 months ago 😄 😄

[narrow yew]

Its my goto kali VM. I even made it look good.

It loads but menys are gone, cant change settings etc.

I sort it tomorrow

GPT will help instead

Just dcoding b64 for a ctf

better to let AI sort it, saves me time

[lament meteor]

the new kali has gemini baked in... seems weird they went with gemini... still not sure how I feel about that

[vast crystal]

Hi guys, where’s the best channel to ask questions?

[sand trench]

echo "blkgwasiuhgnnseauioghoerasunig" | base64 -d

^ doubt this will give useful output as shadow just hit random keyboard keys

oof that not look right

[austere verge]

Well I can tell it involves cats

[sand trench]

cat 1 go boop cat 2

[lament meteor]

If I am trying to connect to THM with my OpenVPN config, does this "Connection" box only show connected if I go to this page of settings on the machine where the VPN is connected? I copied the openvpn config over to my kali box and it seems like it's connected fine. curl 10.10.10.10/whoami responds correctly

[sand trench]

yeah that page is not always working as intended

[lament meteor]

thanks - i figured so

[sand trench]

the curl 10.10.10.10/whoami is the better test to see if you are connected

[austere verge]

I wonder why

Maybe it checks the wrong ip

Like if ur using a different laptop for vpn connection it wouldn’t have any way to know

And u have a vpn on main laptop

[lament meteor]

that's what I started to piece together... i'd have to visit this page on the endpoint that is connected to openvpn for that to show connected, correct?

[loud marlin]

you can't stack vpn

only one vpn can be running

[lament meteor]

i don't have my laptop connected to the openvpn profile, i have my kali box connected to the openvpn profile and I'm connected to kali via ssh (no gui)

[austere verge]

Na I mean connecting to thm with one laptop and answering questions/being signed into the website on another laptop running a vpn so the two laptops don’t have same public ip

[loud marlin]

is you host pc on some vpn?

[lament meteor]

no

im signed into THM on my laptop - kali is a vm on my host server (completely different machine from my laptop)

[loud marlin]

did you run vpn via ssh or on vm it self ?

[rapid merlin]

i just found a vulnerability in the xscreensaver app in linux

[lament meteor]

on the vm itself - i actually configured a service in kali to run openvpn with that profile so I could turn the vpn on and off as a service

curl 10.10.10.10/whoami is working, so I think I'm good, i just wanted to make sure

[loud marlin]

if that pass then you are ok

[distant robin]

type in curl 10.10.10.10/whoami and it gives you an IP address, it means you're connected.

[lament meteor]

yea, that worked, I'm good then

[austere verge]

Lmao

[distant robin]

I literally just posted that lol

[austere verge]

Yea I’m just wondering why the thing in the profile saying not connected might be bugging

[distant robin]

I'm also running Kali on my laptop too

[loud marlin]

oh thm profile can do that

[lament meteor]

posted what, how to run openvpn as a service?

[distant robin]

no the curl command

[lament meteor]

ah gotcha

thanks everyone

[loud marlin]

relay on curl command not them site

[distant robin]

I just learnt something new now

[elfin hamlet]

You can use deepseek to make malware?

[sand trench]

technically yes but it is against terms of service and not recommended

[elfin hamlet]

Their terms of service but there are work arounds and it is really useful for learning reverse engineering by following along in a tested enviroment

[sand trench]

well okay just gonna dip out there and no response

[grave pine]

Hi

[sand trench]

compile on the target machine
use the attackbox to compile
do static builds instead

are the most common solutions

quite a few of the target machines have gcc on there

[sand trench]

ah yes a silk road enjoyer

okay then that leaves the 2 other options

gcc -static blargh.c

yes shadow likes to use blargh as example texts because it is fun to pronounce

but living off the land and using things found on target machines against target machines is generally best bet even in real world pen testing and red teaming

fair... shadow knows very little about programming but got decent understanding of compiling

[elfin hamlet]

Where did most of you guys start with your ethical journey?

[sand trench]

building bird houses

[sturdy sequoia]

where?

[lament tendon]

Add -o <name> or you get a.out from this and that will be confusing. ^_^

[elfin hamlet]

As in getting into ethical hacking.

[sand trench]

fair

[grave pine]

i like his mindset of going to freedome

[sturdy sequoia]

i dont really know how to answer. it was just a hobby i was interested in so i researched and experimented.

[sand trench]

hacker mindset was early in shadows life

A hacker embodies a boundless passion and insatiable thirst for understanding the complexities of a system, computers and networks in particular. They revel in the pursuit of knowledge and mastery, constantly seeking new solutions and opportunities for growth. Their drive and innovative spirit inspire and are inspired by the hacker community, where ideas and knowledge are freely shared and valued regardless of their origin.
--Silk

[elfin hamlet]

Which sources did you generally use? Other than tryhackme or hackinthebox.

[sand trench]

shadow is older then tryhackme so started out on hackthissite

if that is what you are wondering for site hacking

[sturdy sequoia]

other hackers, books, experimentation

[elfin hamlet]

Hm okay cool, any decent reads you can reccommend? I want to expand my knowledge a bit

[sand trench]

also for fun watching defcon talks

[sturdy sequoia]

nope. all this was from 20 years ago

[sand trench]

#bookclub and #resources will give you long lists of things to read or watch

but if you want instant recommended reading from shadow:

hello i am getting an error of ``` error on word restored: timeout occurred during the request

[sand trench]

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6QImKThTOUisMU5DASDCullicZslFERa @elfin hamlet

that playlist is a lot of fun according to shadow

which is the one ordering it

[little pond]

i have restarted my machine many time but didnt work

[lament tendon]

This is so old, but still a banger video.

That was what got me interested in Red Teaming back in the day. :D

[sand trench]

yeah dunno how to link a youtube playlist without linking to the video

it is not just a single video

[lament tendon]

Remove v=...?

I am guessing, but you could try.

[sand trench]

figured it out

[lament tendon]

Seems that was correct.

Also based.

I wonder whether people can tell that I am bored yet.

[zealous socket]

When it's quiet here, either everyone is asleep or solving room's.

A silence

LuL

mpd-discord-rpc is unintentionally goated

[lament tendon]

It's pretty dang good.

Did turn it off for privacy tho.

Did you know that you can design custom applications via discord dev portal for that and then just run a python script with an inf sleep in order to display literally whatever you want?

Neat little trick to look cool on Discord. xD

[sand trench]

yeah...

shadow leaves it on as an example that you can get music recommendations from shadow in the same way people do for spotify

[lament tendon]

Whaha

What application are you using anyways?

I pivoted from that TUI player you recommended to just using Navidrom through the browser when I am at my desktop.

UI's pretty decent.

[sand trench]

currently using rmpc

which is a mpd client

using beets to manage the music files though

[blissful snow]

Hi does anyone know anything about demon linux

[lament tendon]

The distribution or a daemon process?

[blissful snow]

No

[lament tendon]

Makes sense

[blissful snow]

It a debian based projected

I cna't find the iso

[lament tendon]

I see. No, then.

[blissful snow]

I wanted to try it

I gave up after install it bare metal when it was recommend to do it in vmware lol

[loud marlin]

https://www.demonlinux.com/

[blissful snow]

I can't find the iso there for some reason

I went to there github and it still didn't give mea download linux

[sand trench]

there is no iso on that site D:

[blissful snow]

yeah idk why it just sends me back to the website

[loud marlin]

well... they say new release cooming soon

[blissful snow]

been like that for a while

[lament tendon]

Is there any reason why this would be better then just default Kali?

[blissful snow]

idk just wanted to try it

[wary ocean]

You get a cool little demon with you

[blissful snow]

i do have kali install for my vbox to

[lament tendon]

Totally valid, just asking.

[sand trench]

default kali or parrot os is probably more userfriendly for now

[lament tendon]

Strong argument.

[blissful snow]

lol

[sand trench]

also seems they like to use a consistent colorscheme/theme with dracula ;D

[blissful snow]

I tried them i mostly use kali

[blissful snow]

I'ma just use they're github to set it up

i just wanted to make sure they didn't have a iso some where that i didn't know about

Hello Shadow!

[sand trench]

ello darkfly

[ripe sleet]

How're you?

[sand trench]

kinda tired but also writing things

systemd service sandboxing is whacky

[spark geyser]

Hello everyone, I’m new to chatting in this space (not sure if this the right place to ask this). I see there are tons of tools and resources out there, and I honestly get a bit overwhelmed by all the choices. How do you all handle this? Where should someone new start when it comes to learning these tools, and what are the key fundamentals or core areas you’d recommend focusing on first? I know some networking (not crazy tho) and comfortable in the command line, at least with the role that I'm doing right now, but I have always had interest in cyber space, just curious

[sand trench]

nmap and wireshark are the tools shadow would refer to you to learn first
but note taking or rubber ducky debugging/teaching is the most important skill to retain information
and also get good at using search engines to find what you need

[oblique loom]

I finally fixed my SSH port on my server and can connect over the internet, sweet!

[sand trench]

now install fail2ban and accidentally ban yourself

[oblique loom]

I act already have that

Also my SSH doesnt use password xP

Keys only

[sand trench]

niceu

[oblique loom]

Now to test if it work with VPN tunnel

[sand trench]

don't see why it would not work with a vpn tunnel

unless you are refering to jump boxes to access said machine

[oblique loom]

Im about to find out

Nope

Gonna try again

[sand trench]

shadow is in the uncanny valley of understanding :P

[spark geyser]

thanks for the feedback, I'll def have it mind. I have been doing some of my own docs gitbook so far it has been good, trying to get RHCSA since in my job will be valuable, but I have always liked cyber roles as well

[sand trench]

well enjoy the journey and learning new things every day :D

and time for meepy mooopy sleep sloop to beep boop while merp morp

Hello there

I want someone who could help me hacking and i would pay them for that

[sturdy sequoia]

this isnt really the place for hiring hackers

[fervent cove]

but what else is this place for

i dont come here to learn

[gritty pasture]

task 6 for metasploit is frying my brain

exploit

[final cobalt]

are the blue team career paths good ?

are they as good as lets defed.io for exmaple ?

[loud orbit]

Defo worth doing

[lament meteor]

does shadow always refer to shadow in 3rd person?

[oblique loom]

So ive been thinking. Idk if the pentest route will be a good fit for me. Even tho I can do a thing or two

Seems super stressful and clients want the cream of the crop

HTf you beat that?

[lament meteor]

You could always bug bounty and be your own boss

[oblique loom]

Tbh could just go back to g*******ing

Bug bounties aint gonna pay bills

You'll make more doing Door Dash

[lament meteor]

ok

[oblique loom]

I used to do it back in the day

I got good tech

Maybe I'll get lucky like with NV Medicaid

Their stupid SQL injection lol

(They patched it btw, but was total accident.)

[fervent cove]

what is g***ing

[oblique loom]

Greyhatting

[fervent cove]

ooh

[oblique loom]

I didnt want to say it cause taboo n stuff

[fervent cove]

yeah but i thought it was something else that seemed more strange in context lmao

[oblique loom]

Sorry for that then

I truly meant greyhay

Greyhat

Grayhat?

Idfk lol

[fervent cove]

atleast its not goon

[rapid merlin]

public discord servers have their messages scraped and indexed so i wouldnt talk about that stuff

[oblique loom]

Told ya

[bitter patrol]

Whats a good OSINT tool to search up my name im a newbie to all this and wanna find out what comes up

[fervent cove]

sherlock

[oblique loom]

Google Dorking

[bitter patrol]

Ill try both and lyk how it goes 😅😄😬😥

[oblique loom]

Dont get banned by ISP if you go the dorking route

Itll happen

[fervent cove]

what why

[oblique loom]

Happened to someone I know

Also

[fervent cove]

google dorking is just using google more effecient lol

[oblique loom]

Google doring can expose tons of stuff

ISP get paranoid about it

Youll commonly encounter capchas

[fervent cove]

i mean if ur doing it illegally then yeah

but thats not google dorkings fault

[oblique loom]

Never said it was

It just exposes stuff you wouldnt see

Normally

I used to find all kimds of crap with that sht

[bitter patrol]

Uhm well i used sherlock and it just gave me a list of usernames including one of mine but nothing connected to it like posts etc i was expecting a spider diagram of all the bad things i did in my life

Im very happy no such spider diagram exists

[oblique loom]

You all need a real competition

[fervent cove]

now look ur name up on google and add spokeo to the end of the search

[oblique loom]

Ayy spokeo

[bitter patrol]

This stuff makes me very shaky

[oblique loom]

I use that

[bitter patrol]

Brb

[fervent cove]

yeah fuck whoever sold my data to spokeo

[oblique loom]

Same lol

Bastards

[bitter patrol]

It seems that everyone else who shares my name is a woman

[fervent cove]

oof

hi jordan

[bitter patrol]

I think im all clear

Well except for advanced tools

Which every cyber security hiring company will probably use

[fervent cove]

ur full name?

i bet some pyblic database website has you atleast

oh, well are you not american

ur a ghost then

[dreamy bronze]

I searched my number once and legit found my street address 🫩🫩

Should not be that easy bruh

[fervent cove]

its fine ai will kill the internet by 2035

[bitter patrol]

I use chatgpt more than i use the internet and i give it so much data

I hope they give that to my future employers though

Very studious over here

[chrome condor]

dont forget to give it ur api keys <33

[fervent cove]

ai layer 3 information cycle inc

[bitter patrol]

Ive probably done that on accident knowing me just taking pics of whatever comes up on my commandline

Im such a noob i know

I only use it when im stuck and then i try to learn why I got stuck so its okay

[fervent cove]

yeah but what if ur gpt confidently lies to you

[dreamy bronze]

😭

[ripe sleet]

There was this one time that 6 of the usernames I use ended up on this arabian dating website

[dreamy bronze]

just read the output and try to understand it because using ai will make your brain mushy

[lament meteor]

if i get a cert and want to "print it" or share it, does it pull my username or full name for the cert?

[bitter patrol]

I do try but only for so long lol otherwise i give in but yeah dw ive been told this before lol

[ripe sleet]

My favorite is when Stephen hawking is in the battlebots and Einstein is controlling him

[dark wolf]

I once saw Stephen Hawking climb a wall with no rope

He's bad ass

If you don't believe me, I have a blind friend who also saw it

I had no idea until my deaf friend heard all the commotion

[lament meteor]

does anyone have an online tool for cracking hashes? hashes.com is down and this hash isn't in crackstation - it's for THM room Hashing Basics

[topaz sedge]

The best joke is:
"Stephen Hawking walked into a bar"

[topaz sedge]

try john

or some tool like that

[lament meteor]

ok thanks

[dark wolf]

no problem

[regal steeple]

Crackstation
Hashcracker

or you can identify the hash using hash-identifier and decrypt using hashcat -m 1800(use the specific mode by going through the hashcat page) hash(store the hash a file)

https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=example_hashes

[sleek hare]

Can't you do that using john?

[lament meteor]

yea the hash is not on crackstation - I started down the path of john/hashcat - just odd the room says "use online tool"

[dark wolf]

multi tools

[sleek hare]

I never listen to such remarks

[regal steeple]

yes

[sleek hare]

Amazing

[regal steeple]

john --format=md5 hash.txt

[sleek hare]

Yep

[regal steeple]

but u have to identify the hash format

i love cats

thats why hash cats

[sleek hare]

Fairs

[regal steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/kat-cat-kitty-kitten-cats-gif-4186602401456915754

[sleek hare]

I remember using John for something in event horizon , so I thought it should be best solution (as it is the only tool I know how to use )

[dark wolf]

you don't have to identify hash type with john

it will try and gues it

[deft oar]

hello

Is there for game hacking server?

[regal steeple]

meaning?

[dark wolf]

Have you tried gamehackingservers.com?

[sleek hare]

?

[dark wolf]

or how about comeondawgjustgivemetheserver.com

[deft oar]

there is the server for gamehacking

[regal steeple]

is there a server? is that what you are asking

[dark wolf]

We are a cyber security Discord server

[regal steeple]

anyway it is a rule violation ig

[sleek hare]

Ig he's seeking a server for game hacks/cheats

[deft oar]

yes

[dark wolf]

we do not condone hacking, please read the #rules

[upbeat herald]

Hashcat is good

[regal steeple]

try going to trypirateme.com

[sleek hare]

You're at wrong server atp

[dark wolf]

hashcat john and hyrda can do the job

[gloomy tulip]

cybersecurity is just a lot of research, agree or disagree?

[deft oar]

shit

I'm leave now

[regal steeple]

a lot

[upbeat herald]

Cybersecurity is applied research

[gloomy tulip]

yea, this is a better phrasing

[regal steeple]

let me ask echo to clear my doubts

[dark wolf]

echo doesn't know its foot from its mouth

if you ask it it will say hello im here to help you with cybersecurity!

[regal steeple]

have ever any1 tried out HTB

[dark wolf]

a few have done htb on here, it's more difficult from what they say

[regal steeple]

their PWNBoxes are awesome and the loading time is ❤️

[upbeat herald]

Hackthebox is for intermediates at minimum, I wouldn't recommend it for beginners

[rapid merlin]

tryhackme is better then htb

[gloomy tulip]

expensive but how much better is it?

[regal steeple]

i started an attackbox within 20 sec or less

[regal steeple]

for beginners it is perfect

[rapid merlin]

are you talking about tryhackme or htb but thm is better for begiiners

[upbeat herald]

Hackthebox is amazing, just not for beginners

[regal steeple]

thm obv

[regal steeple]

but the tier 0 easy ones are good if you want to practice ctf as a beginner

[upbeat herald]

Think of tryhackme like freecodecamp but hackthebox like leetcode 😂

[regal steeple]

freecodecamp is built different 🙂

[upbeat herald]

Both are amazing in their own way but have different target audience

[regal steeple]

absolutely

[upbeat herald]

For a beginner I can close my eyes and recommend thm without thinking twice

[regal steeple]

have fun with nodes my friends

[upbeat herald]

[rapid merlin]

what does mean by this

how

[upbeat herald]

I wanna focus on redteaming but specialising in cloud security

[regal steeple]

all the best

[rapid merlin]

htb is so confusing have you ever done that

[upbeat herald]

Because it's not for beginners genius

0/10 ragebait

I also recommend portswigger labs if you're interested

Best labs for web app pen-testing

I have way too many subscriptions rn XD

Can't add 1 more

I just mainly used portswigger, owasp juice shop, htb and thm for now

100% agree

I always go by this motto in life "Improvement begins at the edge of your comfort zone" and BOY does htb make me uncomfortable at times 😂

Do you take AI's help if you're stuck?

[sleek hare]

Same

But help while stuck? No

[upbeat herald]

I use AI for scripting n shit imma keep it a buck

But the general logical flow? Nope

We have to integrate AI in our career in one way or the other else we will simply be left behind in the race

[sleek hare]

💔 😭 sponsor of my past project wrote me he'll drop ipv4/6 sponsoring if I won't return

[upbeat herald]

GG

[sleek hare]

Cuz current owner is "unintelligent"

And whole infra relays on the sponsors IPs

fun

[upbeat herald]

Seems like you don't have a choice now 😂

[sleek hare]

My creation gets ruined by new owner

[sleek hare]

I don't want to do comeback

[upbeat herald]

Tough

[sleek hare]

But in the same time I don't want that project get fucked

Cuz a lot of apps and students rely on free AI API and VPS services

[upbeat herald]

What's your action plan now

[sleek hare]

No idea

[regal steeple]

does portswigger offer free courses?

[sleek hare]

There's another reason why I don't want to return

I'm just 15, I'm not best person to handle huge projects

[upbeat herald]

The courses are free but to do some of the labs like for example using burpsuite intruder, if you have community edition u are heavily rate limited

[sleek hare]

And new owner is over 18 so

Tbh he did nothing after I left the project 💔

He just acts sometimes stupidly

[regal steeple]

is the Apprentice ones the basic ones

[upbeat herald]

Yeah they are like 1 liner labs

A simple ' OR 1=1 -- type shit 😂

[regal steeple]

<script>alert("HI")</script>

[sleek hare]

Me too

[upbeat herald]

Bro I did a pentesting project for a client and their had their API key hard coded, let that sink in

[regal steeple]

but once a government website raised invalid entry

and some detection BS

[regal steeple]

you mean in source code

[upbeat herald]

Most websites I've pentested were vulnerable to time based SQLi

Ye

[regal steeple]

rip mahn

do you know where to see latest domains bought

[upbeat herald]

Not sure actually

[sleek hare]

My not friend this time had their admin api key hardcoded into frontend

[regal steeple]

i want to try out the cyrillic typosquatting

[sleek hare]

Which could be used in backend

That was 1 minute compromise to admin panel

No jokes

F12 -> login field ID copied in admin -> search -> open script it found match -> look for id field there -> find the key 😭

[upbeat herald]

W

I mean L for the guy

[regal steeple]

is there some software to override recaptcha

[sleek hare]

Yea

I also in the end reported this to DPA cuz the website has no privacy policy whatsoever

[upbeat herald]

Nice

[sleek hare]

(no I wasn't hired, yes I did grey hacking that time)

Owner also got informed of that but he denied to do anything about it

[sleek hare]

That's when I escalated it*

• data was possibly breached several times by that time

[upbeat herald]

I never got the opportunity to do white hat hacking

I mean white box

Oops

I always did black box so far

You'd be surprised how much info u can get by simply doing url/robots.txt 😂

[sleek hare]

Ik

I do that all the time

Gtg

It's literally still used now

at the end of the day, your high level programming languages just compile or translate to ASM/Machine Code

[slow cloud]

Well, it was created in 1947. thats kinda old

[silver sky]

Old in tech implies out of date

[slow cloud]

Yeah okay, its not out of date but it is old

I hate assembly 😀

Ah the dark days when I had taken the microcontrollers and embedded systems course

But unfortunately it has a huge application in cyber security as well, I'm not looking forward to it 😂

AMWaveHi

[fading perch]

Why do so many people switch to Linux?

[sick maple]

I switched cuz I wanted to learn linux

for fun

but then I realized linux is actually better than windows for me

actually it depends on the person tho

[sturdy sequoia]

i use windows and linux

[sick maple]

I use windows still too

for gaming

gaming on linux is pretty hard to setup ngl

[sick maple]

but for some reason

i get the blue screen atleast two times a day

in windows

I even did a fresh install and diagnosed my pc. there was no problem

[sturdy sequoia]

Linux for hacking, Windows for everything else.

[rapid merlin]

Windows 10 support is ending right, no more security patches or updates. so after oct 14, 2025 all windows 10 devices wont get any updates from microsoft anymore, which means theyre gonna be super vulnerable to hacking and stuff. unless you got your own antivirus like AVG or Avast then youre kinda protected i guess

[sick maple]

for me, windows for gaming and linux for everything else 🫠

[sturdy sequoia]

To each their own. As long as it gets the job done

[sick maple]

and a considerable amount of people don't have windows 11 compatible devices

[narrow yew]

are you still sick

[narrow yew]

What is this, being cheeky 😄 If you do not require windows for game/work
Ubuntu is your friend

[sick maple]

ya 🫠

[narrow yew]

For weeks now, super sick

[sick maple]

one week

G_dev1_Hajime_Cry

[narrow yew]

I was sure that you have had that (sick) for more than 1 week

[tough iron]

do i need premium to start learn hacking?

[narrow yew]

100% NO

[sturdy sequoia]

nope. plenty of rooms for free

[tough iron]

Thank you 🙂

[narrow yew]

Larsbandage 🙂 you have THM, hackthebox.pentestlab, + a ton of other box/room based sites to play with.
Then you have youtube and start looking and learning tools for bug bounty.
Then the whole world opens up for Ethical hacking

[tough iron]

i just asked, cause i dont want a new account on a new website, and then i need to buy smt and another thing and they have my creditcard data and so on

[tough iron]

i just want the Exams from my teachers xDD

Just a joke :))

other question: can i change the language or is the language english and you cant change it?

cause my english is pretty bad 😐

[narrow yew]

What language are you looking for?

[lucid portal]

you speak french

[narrow yew]

Swe/Nor?

[tough iron]

german

[narrow yew]

Oh you need to talk to your goverment to stop dubbing everything in to German

You will be in a world of english tools and portals and websites

[tough iron]

I speak nor, but bookmol not nynorsk

[lucid portal]

oh sorry bro i am french and the englesh help for communicate

[narrow yew]

Germans are scared of english. But try and get better at it or have your browser translate eng - german.
But all the tools you will face will be in english

Imagine translating metasploit to finnish

[tough iron]

i dont fear about english, if it is impossible to change the language, then i find a way to understand it

[narrow yew]

It would break from all the characters

[tough iron]

HAHAHA

[lucid portal]

scared for GW2

[tough iron]

Can we please translate python in chinese?

[lucid portal]

😂

[tough iron]

or japanese

This would be very funny

[narrow yew]

I think Finnish is the way forwoard. that language is just odd

[sick maple]

demn

might be right tho

[narrow yew]

I know I am because you were too sick to do a 4 hours CTF 😄 3 weeks ago

[sick maple]

3 weeks???

[narrow yew]

Something like that

[sick maple]

nahh not that much

that was cuz i had school work i'm sure

What is mandoc in Linux?

I was using the command "uname -a" for couple days but when I wrote "man uname -a" my termux said that it's not installed in my package so to install type "Pkg install mandoc"

[mossy river]

Was it just a suggested tool to install? Sometimes if you type a tool in that doesn't exist, it will give you suggested tools to install that you may have been searching for

https://mandoc.bsd.lv

Try man uname without the -a

[frosty sapphire]

Take your time

[marsh lark]

Jabba what is the best linux OS I should use for Vbox except for kali?

I'm thinking of switching

[rapid merlin]

Me too i have low end device

[left torrent]

what's athena

[rapid merlin]

The wannabe arch os idk

[left torrent]

mm

[rapid merlin]

let say son of arch haha

idk how to explain

[mossy river]

It just boils down to preference

If you have limited resources go Mint, otherwise just play around and find one you like

I prefer Ubuntu; nice interface, stable and I can set it up to meet my needs

[weary veldt]

Distro

[marsh lark]

gotcha

[topaz sedge]

A Greek Goddess

[left torrent]

the os

[topaz sedge]

Pentesting distro

[left torrent]

o kratos
makes sense

[left torrent]

distro?

[topaz sedge]

Distribution

Linux distribution

[left torrent]

o

fairs

is kali the best linux for pentesting?

[rapid merlin]

Yes

[slow cloud]

either kali or parrotOS is what people prefer

but you can use pretty much any distro

[left torrent]

parrot is the colorful one

[slow cloud]

kali or parrot just come with alot of tools preinstalled

[rapid merlin]

all Linux are good

[slow cloud]

blackarch is also an option but i think its deprecated

[left torrent]

o

they all got the same commands right

like ls

ls -a

that stuff

[rapid merlin]

I'm new to arch distro haha apt don't work

[slow cloud]

pretty much, although some distros might use other package managers, for example arch has pacman

[left torrent]

sudo apt

[slow cloud]

but if you are starting out i would still to something like kali, parrot, ubuntu, mint

etc

[left torrent]

kali currently

[slow cloud]

i would suggest configuring your kali to fit your needs, change your background etc

[left torrent]

o I can do that?

[slow cloud]

look through the options

[left torrent]

shi how fam

[slow cloud]

see what stuff does

[left torrent]

[slow cloud]

what do you wanna do

background?

right-click on the desktop, select "Desktop Settings" or "Appearance", then choose your desired wallpaper from the provided options or by navigating to a custom image folder

[marsh lark]

ubuntu uses apt, right?

or no

have fun

[frosty sapphire]

Someone help me I am confused between three linux commands

[marsh lark]

which ones

[frosty sapphire]

-r , -a , ~/*

rm -r deletes all the files of a specific folder but what if I type rm -a ? What will happen

[slow cloud]

you can do man rm

[marsh lark]

shows you the manual for the command rm

[rapid merlin]

Sometimes i used rm -rf * hahaha

[slow cloud]

it holds explanations for all the options

[rapid merlin]

wipeout all file inside the folder directory

with asterisk symbols

[marsh lark]

you know you can also use a search engine

[lament meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/satisfied-viralhog-smiling-happy-delighted-gif-7757242892176384584

[frosty sapphire]

I did but the work of -r and -a is similar so that's why I am confused

[sleek hare]

Why would you need someone's ip

And what do you want to do with it?

[lament meteor]

don't do this

[marsh lark]

or use chatgpt

[sleek hare]

I deleted my linux serveral times using rm -frd /* --no-root-preserve or whatever its spelt

[frosty sapphire]

See on top most lines.
Both -r and -a did controled all files of a folder then when will I be using -r instead of -a ?

[sleek hare]

Goodluck bailing out moment

[marsh lark]

is there a rm -a?

[frosty sapphire]

Yes

[lament meteor]

in your screenshot you are using "ls" not "rm"

[frosty sapphire]

Oh my bad, but still

Even if you take example of ls

My question will keep relevant

[lament meteor]

ls and rm do very very different things lmfao

[frosty sapphire]

Well Yup

[lament meteor]

-a Include directory entries whose names begin with a dot (‘.’).

[marsh lark]

ah, yeah

[frosty sapphire]

-a also include hidden files. All files basically

[lament meteor]

-r Reverse the order of the sort.

-r for ls is reverse the order of the sort

-r for rm is recurse

[frosty sapphire]

So -r can do the work of -a also but the condition is that it will reverse order

[lament meteor]

the same flag does not do the same thing for every command

[distant robin]

https://tenor.com/view/red-flag-red-flags-guy-running-with-red-flag-ignoring-the-red-flags-man-running-with-red-flag-gif-9274875786215349752

[frosty sapphire]

So that's what I am asking, suppose I am using rm or ls command then when will I have to use -r and when to use -a

[lament meteor]

i don't think so "." and ".." are not hidden files in your particular example

[ripe sleet]

Hello No name!

[lament meteor]

it's probably best if you review the man page for rm so you understand the flags fully

[ripe sleet]

My favorite ls command is lal or ls -al

[lament meteor]

you can install "tldr" on the command line too to get a more condensed version of man

[ripe sleet]

Interesting

[distant robin]

Yeah wouldn't boot so I went into recovery mode and then after a while it just froze. I know someone warned me that Kali is unstable so nothing to lose here really.

[lament meteor]

what do you dislike about it

[lament meteor]

my guy.. you aren't verified and it seems like spam to keep repeating yourself lol

[blissful snow]

kali always gets unstable

[distant robin]

I just don't like Ubuntu. I once had Ubuntu DDE and that was a good one to use. It was similar to Deepin but the problem is that those two distros are not being updated like it should so it's time for me to move on.

[lament meteor]

kali isn't really meant to be a daily driver

[slow cloud]

ubuntu is not great

[distant robin]

yes I know, I wasn't planning on staying with it forever, I've had issues with it in the past but this was for learning.

Go to #site-support , not here.

[lament meteor]

use the word "localhost" in place of the IP address

[blissful snow]

your hosting it on 0.0.0.0 and trying to wget it from your private ip

[slow cloud]

i always go for the Cinnamon Edition

but you can use xfce or mate, whichever you prefer

[lament meteor]

http:// localhost : <port>

take the spaces out

[distant robin]

Weird. I kept getting a voice in my head to go and look at Cinnamon, no idea why but it just did whisper Cinnamon nonstop to me lol

[blissful snow]

you can do that or use 0.0.0.0

[gilded knot]

but i am getting the file from the target machine and even this capture shows that its connected and responsed

debian

run debian

[distant robin]

you trolling me?

[weary veldt]

Why is this throwing error???

Give it a port no.

And remove the s from http

[slow cloud]

yeah i think the issue is the https

[blissful snow]

no

[muted light]

@slow cloud but when I paste ip it automatically become https even though I delete it and add http

[blissful snow]

Do you have to config /etc/hosts?

[whole rapids]

ig not if hes on attackbox

[blissful snow]

Eh I would still check

[slow cloud]

you can turn that off in firefox

wiat it that attack box

or your machine

[calm briar]

really?

dude this mouse capture is driving me insane - how do i know when im hoving over something!!

[lament meteor]

is your really? an actual question or are you being sarcastic lol

[calm briar]

an actual question -i've never heard that before. So kali would just be taken out for the pentest? or do you mean to create your own pentesting vm out of ubuntu or arch or something

[lament meteor]

that's from their docs

[sleek hare]

Hey people
anyone knows how to get IP of website behind cloudflare?

I got task from friend of mine to do that on his web, I don't think its possible but still will ask to be sure-

[marsh lark]

@jovial cobalt may I dm you?

[lament meteor]

just use it for a pen test - sure you can save your own scripts and tools on it - customize it some - but you shouldn't really be using it to browse the web, pay your bills, talk on social media - at the end of the day, it's completely possible to do it though

[upbeat herald]

Some websites have shared IP's iirc

[sleek hare]

I can't find there on web

[sleek hare]

dig shows cf proxy ip

[calm briar]

OH! yeah that makes sense - if you are doing normal people stuff i wouldn't be using a kali box. i thought you mean for daily pentests lol

[kindred swallow]

Hello guys

[calm briar]

of course of course. i'm definitely not in my bank account on kali

[sleek hare]

aha wait

Oh gosh ok its tunnelled not proxied

yep its impossible, im out

[lament meteor]

some people just use the default image from kali and don't customize at all - they boot it up, use it, tear it down, like a container

[upbeat herald]

😔

[lament meteor]

i think kali has an official container tbh

[calm briar]

but still - anyone have a cure of the mouse capture after update / pimpmykali? it's really driving me up the wall

[lament meteor]

you could also build your own pentest box - some people do that - keep it minimal and only put the tools they use on it - kali is nice because it comes preinstalled with everything - parrot OS came later to do the same thing

[calm briar]

yeah of course i could just ubuntu and add nmap and john to it or something

[lament meteor]

exactly

[calm briar]

plus there are other pentesting type boxes - but still what you know about mouse captures?

[upbeat herald]

It just saves ur time that's all

[lament meteor]

ubuntu, kali, mint - all debian

[upbeat herald]

No need to set up

[calm briar]

how do i get rid of it! thats the question

its effecting my progress and sanity

[lament meteor]

what do you mean by mouse captures

[calm briar]

it happened after my pimpmykalli.sh

then i tried another fresh box - and just after the upgrade it started happening again

[lament meteor]

i don't use pimpmykali so I'm not sure

[calm briar]

like when you click inside the VM - the mouse cursor disappears and i can't see where it's overing

[lament meteor]

i make minimal changes to the kali image (that's kind of what I was trying to get at)

[calm briar]

thus i'm having hte hardest ype clicking on any buttons, or windows or even knowing where the mouse is

[hallow willow]

.

[calm briar]

i didn't use PIMP this time and its happend after my apt get upgrade

[lament meteor]

gotcha

what hypervisor are you using?

[calm briar]

i thought it was the vmware tools issue, etc etc . i've been googling for 2 days

[slow cloud]

i have never heard of pimp

[calm briar]

i'm on vmware currently

pimpmykali.sh by dewault? it's pretty nice to fix up some stuff.

offsec has a page about it also

[slow cloud]

idk i never used it

[fluid sage]

Hello, i used to do some hacking like 4 years ago on kali linux, i forgot almost everything and i want to start again, what i wanna do is try and hack some random fake tiktok account if possible using kali Linux, any help? Also are you guys still using linux or there are other tools

[calm briar]

anyone i thought it was a vmware tools issue or something - but it only occurs after my upgrad

[lament meteor]

neither have I but I found it on github - seems to automate tweaks to kali - looks like there is a section of the script to "prepare" kali for specific courses

[lament meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/shame-bell-game-of-thrones-walk-of-atonement-cersei-lannister-gif-16635977892557113898

[fluid sage]

True

[calm briar]

so even without pimpmykali.sh - just the upgrade does it

[lament meteor]

this is the wrong discord for that - see the rules

[fluid sage]

I lowkey just joined from Google

[calm briar]

a fresh install is the only thing that works

[lament meteor]

VMware workstation or esxi?

[fluid sage]

You know any discord for this particular thing

?

[lament meteor]

my guy... this is not the place to talk about that stuff lol

[slow cloud]

for what? sorry missed your message

[calm briar]

vmware workstation

pro

you think if i tried vmware workstation 17 or something it might behave differenly? heres the thing - it only happened after the kali upgrade

[fluid sage]

Uhhh "ethical hacking" but not ethical tbh

[calm briar]

https://tenor.com/view/yeah-hell-yeah-oh-yeah-oh-really-excuse-me-gif-11637087054086707757

i'd recommend using chatgpt to walk you through troubleshooting it - there are various things to try

[calm briar]

yeah i've been going through stackoverflow etc. thanks for the help thouhg

i'll get back to it

[lament meteor]

the credentials are wrong and/or you don't have the appropriate public key installed in your ssh keychain

[mellow widget]

how to fix

and she name is correct

becuase I ran hydra on it

[lament meteor]

well now see... you've stepped into a gray area where I can't help anymore lol

[mellow widget]

😭

[slow cloud]

is it related to a tryhackme room @mellow widget?

[mellow widget]

yes

[slow cloud]

#room-help is the best place to ask tyour question then

[mellow widget]

ok

[lament meteor]

include the room name and task number to get more specific help

[calm briar]

that search bar for room help is super useful

[distant robin]

Ok

Y'all which is better ? THM or HTB

[distant robin]

Downloaded and installed Linux Mint Cinnamon and it's so similar to Windows. Thanks to @slow cloud

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @slow cloud (current: #54 - 191)

[slow cloud]

They both have their pro's and cons

[slow cloud]

no worries!

[stone vale]

Like ?

[slow cloud]

THM is better if you are starting out

HTB is better if you are a bit more advanced

imo

[distant robin]

Lol I used both and they both are similar to me.

[stone vale]

HTB is sorta expensive

[stone vale]

Um should I buy THM if I don't have a laptop ? (Only for theory knowledge and stuff)

[lament meteor]

If you have no clue what cybersecurity is, THM will walk you through stuff

if you have no clue, HTB will just confuse you

[stone vale]

I have a clue on Cybersec

[slow cloud]

without a laptop, learning this will be very hard

having a laptop or pc is pretty much a must

[stone vale]

I mean ik i can't access labs and rooms

[distant robin]

Even if it's a cheap one, that will work

[stone vale]

But at least I can access knowledge right

[slow cloud]

but how are you going to apply it

you can learn the theory of driving a car, doesnt mean you can drive a car

[distant robin]

yeah but you need to put it into practice, that's the thing for knowledge retention

[stone vale]

Hm

Right

[distant robin]

Good way of putting it.
