general

[sleek hare]

total ammoun of data was over 800 GB

[sinful moon]

just stop doing anything that could overwrite where existing data used to be

[sleek hare]

I don't do anythign rn I just extracted logs I could find

and wrote security report

tomorrow going to police

gosh

[queen flare]

keep stuff untouched

maybe the forensic dudes can recover stuff like ellie said

[sinful moon]

it's okay, we're not trying to be harsh. But yes if all that was deleted was the filesystem links to where the data existed "aka how most deletes happen" then data may still be there, just left in a "this is okay to overwrite" state

[sleek hare]

forensic dudes?

[sleek hare]

maybe

gosh

[queen flare]

digital forensics

[fierce dragon]

Possible not the data itself is deleted but just system links

[sinful moon]

They would have had to 0 out or overwrite everything to completely delete it

[sleek hare]

maybe

[sleek hare]

issue is I tried using zfs to restore it

zfs told me that it got overwritten

and only few bytes is there

I also stopped some sshx session

as soon as noticed

maybe this is why this bit of data isnt purged yet

[sinful moon]

Yeah not great, but indeed there's only so much we can help, and questionable liability of us doing so

[sleek hare]

fair

[fierce dragon]

You may try to boot with recovery systems that digs in the memory and get the data , just try to not add anything new , it will overwrite the existing data

[sinful moon]

Just seems like odd tactics, as if they really wanted to use this for much gain, they wouldn't have been so destructive

But potentially their attempts failed so they just said f-it

Either way, sorry to hear about that and good luck. Will be a good lesson for sure, no ideal that anyone could get a foothoold in the first place

[worldly pollen]

stay secure with windows 7

[sinful moon]

hush now lol

[worldly pollen]

🍀

[sleek hare]

Issue is this seems to be more like Layer 8 issue

than any other issue

my administrator got compromised

also I'm still unsure if he really got compromised or he just shared account password or he himself did that

as logs point to his account but also to lxc 115

lxc 115 had bruteforce tool and sshx session

lxc 115 could be accessed only from lxc 101

which was from my friend/costumer

[sinful moon]

Yeah unfortunate to say the least

[sleek hare]

issue is

I cant find any attemps to login

login was perfect - without a single failed attempt

which makes me wonder if he really got compromised

he also gave theory of VPN packet spoofing

which seems fair as person who used it with him was my "enemy"

😭 gosh I want to die now even harder my 3 years of work got down

[sinful moon]

Then yeah I won't even speculate because yeah sounds like there's a whole story here and more

Just it's alright, things will get better, just take it one step at a time

I've head to deal with security incidents before and yes they can leave you feeling awful, but important to learn from. Can't change what happened, only improve on what went wrong.

[sleek hare]

the thing is

the project I was making there

was the only thing keeping me alive

like seriously

the community, the motivation

and now its all gone

[sinful moon]

Indeed, which is why your backups need to be fully segmented and ideally 1-2-3 style

I'm just not sure what else to say, but there is a way past this

[ripe sleet]

I'm sorry to hear that

[sinful moon]

Can potentially work with said community if they have any of this data to recover. Not sure what kind of project this was but yeah having online version control probably would have been beneficial as well.

Can at least plan for "projectname-ng" or whatever as well

[ripe sleet]

Hello Elizabeth!

[barren kraken]

Some hlep me

[ripe sleet]

[barren kraken]

Can we talk in dm

[ripe sleet]

Is it illegal?

[ripe sleet]

Aye, send it

[delicate edge]

Hi NEW HERE, Im Mario

[sinful moon]

No just the mushrooms, no need to be like that

[opaque apex]

Hey everyone, I've been having this problem for a year.
I live in Ukraine. Because there was shelling and the power outage, I didn't have time to complete my daily task. My streak, which was 330+ days, disappeared. I clicked "Restore Streak," but it started counting down from day 1. Everything is gone.
Can you tell me where to write or contact me?

[sinful moon]

I believe you can contact [e-mail] to resolve this, last I remember most staff on Discord don't have the latitude to do so

Good luck to you and stay safe!

[opaque apex]

Are you sure this is the correct email?
[e-mail]

[sinful moon]

I've contacted them before and that is their primary support inbox. It's even listed on their billing info.

The company I work for does the same thing, [e-mail] is pretty common.

Checking my email history shows I was connected with a well known THM staff member after emailing that address

[stoic quarry]

Yeah support helped me with something similar

They might not have replied over the past two days given it's the weekend

[sinful moon]

Mhmm, they normally work on workdays UTC/GMT hours

[grim orbit]

Hey guys,
are we allowed to use the VM on the website to carry out attacks to our own devices ?

[sinful moon]

That's an odd question. One, the VMs don't have internet access so you can't do external testing at all. Two, even via the VPN, you'd have to pivot from the device you're already using to connect out to your own network. So not only is it impractical, but just also ill-advised and silly.

Just spin up your own VM quick to do so, it's not hard

And sorry I was thinking of using the openvpn which you're not, so no you won't be able to what so ever lol

Just lol use your own approved infra to attack your own approved infa really.

VMware Workstation Pro is now free even if you have to jump through account hoops, VirtualBox exists even if that means dealing with Oracle, and etc. You have options.

[opaque apex]

Thank you very much. I really hope you help me. And that my streak will be restored (because if not, that's the end of it).

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sinful moon (current: #35 - 318)

[sinful moon]

Yeah they're usually very understanding of these things, no worries!

[native pulsar]

I’ve been so locked in today I’ve done a bunch of labs

[rose creek]

i just finshed a full room and omg that was hell but it was fun

[sinful moon]

Also to be clear since your language was unclear, this was an example. [e-mail] is their address

[sinful moon]

Yep, just gotta wait for normal business hours before they're likely to even see it (UTC/GMT time, no plus or minus)

They'll be able to see in your account when the streak broke, so which day shouldn't matter that much

[opaque apex]

Oh, I hope they help me. Because it's just a tragedy.

[rose creek]

i been doing like 5 min pen rooms and look up was so different because i had to put all my tools into place and use them

[sinful moon]

so a challenge room or something? That is something to understand is that while a lot of THM is focused on guided walkthroughs, that's far from the only type of content there is

[tawny bough]

hi, anyone else having issues with session management in the Enumeration module?

[mossy river]

Sheeesh I’m now Az900 certified

[sinful moon]

Congrats!

[mossy river]

Thank you thank you

[rose creek]

look up is the red team room easy

[mossy river]

Given that I booked it yesterday and started studying within the last week or two I’d say I’m pretty chuffed rn

[sinful moon]

Totally understandable. Does sounds like something I wouldn't mind going for

Is it perpetual?

[mossy river]

I don’t think the cert expires

[sinful moon]

Awesome, although maybe it should with how often MS renames and re-arranges things, but I don't want to give them any ideas lol

[tired wolf]

why are expiration dates on certificates a thing

money

[mossy river]

Exam does change but I don’t think it affects the cert - unless they just outright replace it

[sinful moon]

$$$, with slight justfication on continual education

there's barely any reason why A+ and many other CompTIA ones needed to go that way lol

[mossy river]

Funnily enough in studying I found multiple deprecated options and resources mentioned how Microsoft renamed their whole authentication service

[tired wolf]

must be why the median pay in this field is so high

[sinful moon]

That sounds about right lol

regularly administratining Azure at work, I gotta play, where does this thing live this week at times

although yep for all of Entra ID you can still see the URLs say AzureAD

[mossy river]

Az104 should be your goal then

[sinful moon]

Sounds reasonable

[ripe sleet]

Congratulations Jabba! 🥳 🥳 🥳

[sinful moon]

I've just had to self train my own AD/GPO to Azure/Entra ID/Intune/whatever learning and it's been interesting

[mossy river]

I have to say I think Microsoft Azure is well thought out - I have a lot of respect for it due to it’s intuitivity

[sinful moon]

I started when Azure AD was still called that, and still somewhat salty but I don't even try to use the old name anymore lol

[ripe sleet]

How does Azure compare to that of AWS?

[sinful moon]

Really, I'd say the opposite especially when compared to how intutive on prem was but fair enough

[mossy river]

I’d say Azure is more business and AWS is more consumer

[sinful moon]

that's fair

[mossy river]

Interesting, different experiences I guess

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/preparing-for-bf6-gif-3227508119610502244

[ripe sleet]

I did two AWS academy courses which were interesting

[sinful moon]

I can say Microsoft 365 admin portal and Exchange Online and tasks are easy as all heck though

[tired wolf]

system administration, any great resources?

[sinful moon]

So they did to that right. But I often just have to dig to find the Entra ID stuff I'm looking for for the umpteenth time

[tired wolf]

sick game, loved the open beta on 50 fps

[mossy river]

I anticipate that my opinion on Azure will change if I have to manage it

[boreal scarab]

Wonder if there's a secret.....

[sinful moon]

Or silly stuff like SharePoint admin, do you want an end user to have a "shortcut" or "sync"... turns out Sync is usually the right way to do it despite the unusual naming

[boreal scarab]

I keep repeating myself in multiple discord, campaign was ALRIGHT. Second to last mission was pretty good. But the story felt soulless, all over the place. The first mission was very good in opening on what is to come. But after that, we're jumping between so many different places with no reason why

[sinful moon]

Sync gives them a fancy "org name" thing in Explorer instead of "shortcut" that yeah just adds a shortcut in their OneDrive

[boreal scarab]

Just "Remember X Y Z" Goes into battle

[tired wolf]

i havent played nor seen the campaign

cant comment

[loud orbit]

Let’s go Jabba

Is it worth doing cloud ?

[sinful moon]

Yes

[loud orbit]

Idk if I’ll like it lol

It is the future etc tho ik 😭

[sinful moon]

vast majority of small to medium orgs are on M365 or less fleshed out Google Workplace

[tired wolf]

your smart fridge is going to be cloud connected in 2030

[boreal scarab]

And have ads on it

Want the ads removed? Gotta pay a subscription for that

[sinful moon]

haha that was big in the news last week

with the Samsung fridges

and now Amazon Show displays this week... but that is a bit more "what did you expect"

but really yeah a bit of "what did you expect" with any "smart" appliance either

[mossy river]

Can’t catch me with a fridge connected to WiFi

[sinful moon]

Yeah absolutely never

[tough iron]

do you know how to hack an nltm hash?

[mossy river]

Not something you hack

[tired wolf]

i know you’d love a smart toilet

[mossy river]

Now that I can get behind

[tough iron]

how do you mean that?

[tired wolf]

someone should invent a smart phone

[sinful moon]

we also do have rooms on that, look into rooms for hashcat and john the ripper

[tough iron]

thank you! i look for that ❤️

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sinful moon (current: #35 - 319)

[sinful moon]

but lol if it's a really weak NTLM hash, that's often been solved in rainbow tables but getting ahead of myself

[mossy river]

It’s just a string of data, you can’t hack it. If you’re looking to find the original data that’s called cracking ;)

[sinful moon]

this is correct ^

[tough iron]

ik this but my english is bad and i was scared to say smt bad

[mossy river]

All good

[sinful moon]

back in my day we had l0pthcrack and we were happy lol

although yes john existed then too heh

but yes hashcat is wonderful, love that the creator drops in from time to time

[rose creek]

is there other cons like defcon

[sinful moon]

yes Black Hat and many others

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/grumpy-dana-carvey-back-in-my-day-angry-gif-16063472

[rose creek]

wait hashcat creator comes in here

[sand trench]

meep moops it is the time for sleep sloops to the beep boops

[sinful moon]

G'night shadow!

and yes Pv2, them and some other infosec devs and creators

I like to think it's because this is a pretty welcoming community that spans the entire range of infosec knowledge from beginner to experienced

lol I've just seen some that, lets just say, aren't that

[rose creek]

thats cool

[sinful moon]

mhmm

[ripe sleet]

Damn that was one hell of an adventure

[sinful moon]

What's that?

[tough iron]

@sinful moon i just realized, that the most rooms are sub-only, and you need a pc, my pc is on repairing-station (idk how to say it correct) andd i need to use my ipad, do you have some recommondations for me?

[sinful moon]

you can say "it's in the shop" (implying for repairs). But you can use the inbrowser VM on an iPad

[ripe sleet]

Front of house is flooded as fuck, and me and my parents just trudged through that shit like we were indiana jones in the fucking swamp

[sinful moon]

That sucks :ccc

[ripe sleet]

Shit was cool as fuck

[sinful moon]

uh if you say so lol

[tough iron]

but in the room it had no vm? or has it one in every room?

[sinful moon]

be glad you're not in your parent's position then

[ripe sleet]

I have waterproof boots for this purpose

That reminds me, I need waders now

[sinful moon]

It depends on the room, but I believe you can call up the VM for most if not all. I'm usually doing the exact opposite

[ripe sleet]

Like a full on wetsuit too

[sinful moon]

Yeah that's no good :c

[tough iron]

thank you for your kind support xD

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sinful moon (current: #35 - 320)

[sinful moon]

Sounds like at least 10s of thousands of dollars of damage

[ripe sleet]

I have this grundens bag that can theoretically fit like two dead bodies of little people or one adult sized person maybe

It's massive

[sinful moon]

lol that's one way to couch the theoretical capacity

[ripe sleet]

It looks like a body bag

It's waterproof too

[sinful moon]

Either way just be glad you're not the one directly dealing with the damange I guess, sounds like you didn't have anything down there otherwise that would have been a world of hurt for you too

[ripe sleet]

The city did this million dollar project right that thus far has done jack shit for us

They fucked it up the first time which was 2 years ago

So they dug our street up again this year, and it has done nothing thus far

[loud orbit]

@mossy river is cloud fun to learn ?

[ripe sleet]

So either the project manager is incompetent or the whoever is authorizing this is like that

[sinful moon]

"fun" maybe not, necessary, yes

[ripe sleet]

Anything can be fun if you are crazy enough

[sinful moon]

Not wrong, I just find it much less interesting when it's all "just someone else's server" but fair

Whoops Exchange Online is now... "Offline" for an entire client, what do. idk just wait for Microsoft to fix it

Although in that specific example, hosting your own Exchange server is a hell I wouldn't wish on anyone so fair enough

[ripe sleet]

So this is gonna sound random, but in japan they have these women's shoes where you can collapse the heel and turn it into a flat

[sinful moon]

mhmm I've seen those, it's neat

lol relevant to me at least

[rapid merlin]

Hi guys I would appreciate some advice regarding cyber security

[sinful moon]

well gotta be more specific than that

Getting started with infosec, or are you interested in a specific domain, or?

[ripe sleet]

Let's gooo

[sinful moon]

Heels rock right up until they don't and you're getting sick of it lol

lol even if it means I have to be short again

[delicate edge]

Hmm Ill start doing all free rooms I suppose

[grim sparrow]

Done!

[sinful moon]

Beat me to it

Thank you

[delicate edge]

@mossy river you scared me

[mossy river]

Nawh

[mossy river]

Boo

[rapid merlin]

It's regarding Reddit they somehow know create an account my main account got banned I had that for years I made another one like a week latter that was Shadow banned then I appealed that account for it not to be Shadow banned then I got banned then about a week or 2 later I made another one and it got banned next day I used a VPN and a different browser I used brave and iron fox on android

[delicate edge]

Do yall know when next sales appear?

[sinful moon]

Ugh that's not something we can help with

Ban evasion is not ethical use of this knowledge

[delicate edge]

Hmm

[rapid merlin]

I understand but I was banned because I won a debate

They reported me

[sinful moon]

"won a debate" appeal to the relevant moderators

[delicate edge]

@mossy river for curiosity why are mods ranked higher than THM staff

[rapid merlin]

No Reddit banned me

[delicate edge]

Arents mods like volunteers?

[rapid merlin]

My main account

[delicate edge]

Dont ban evade I suppose, make an appeal, using VPNs just reinforces the case

[sinful moon]

Appeal to Reddit its self, we can not help you with this, we have no power over Reddit administration

This is not what this community is for

[delicate edge]

Also if you want to see reddit posts you can see them if Im not wrong

[rapid merlin]

I must rephrase how do I block fingerprint and IP track/monitoring

[ripe sleet]

What do you mean?

[sinful moon]

We will not help you because this is just ban evasion. Appeal to Reddit

[sinful moon]

You wear them for 8 hours lol

[delicate edge]

Hmm I have a better question with a negative response 😎

[rapid merlin]

I did

[ripe sleet]

I've heard that they hurt after a while

[sinful moon]

They do

[delicate edge]

And how can some random discord dudes help u on reddit

[ripe sleet]

Is it cause the foot is elevated?

[rapid merlin]

Cyber security knowledge

[delicate edge]

Then ask cybersecurity stuff dont ask how to evade a ban

[sinful moon]

Can also be the shape of the sole and more. But yes it can get tiring since you have to walk and hold yourself in a certain way for an extended period

[rapid merlin]

I'm asking how they do it

[ripe sleet]

Don't you have to take baby steps in a way

[delicate edge]

@mossy river if you are still there, do you know a github repo or a playlist with all fundamentals relared to cybersecurity

[ripe sleet]

Like small steps instead of big steps

[delicate edge]

Im more interested in Blue Teaming

[delicate edge]

A short person can help with that

[sinful moon]

Not baby steps, but you do have to learn how to walk in them lol. I bet most guys would fall over lol

[rapid merlin]

:(

[delicate edge]

I stumble on daily basis

[ripe sleet]

Curious

[rapid merlin]

get up and walk again

[ripe sleet]

[delicate edge]

Im trying

[sinful moon]

I mean we have that info on TryHackMe, but like here's a vast cheatsheet and info once you're somewhat experienced: https://book.hacktricks.wiki/en/index.html

[delicate edge]

@rapid merlin ehy do people want PT1 over SAL1 cert?

[rapid merlin]

blue team is not that easy but you can see some learning on thm

[rapid merlin]

depend on the job

[loud orbit]

Damn ,but u say it’s worth it ,cloud doesn’t have entry roles tho does it

[rapid merlin]

pentest pt1 CBBH CPTS OSCP

[delicate edge]

TryHackMe asks 17 euro monthly or 100 euro annually

[rapid merlin]

and defense SAL1 and other things

[sinful moon]

I've found it to be worth it, and use what I've learned professionally on the daily

[delicate edge]

I like to be in blue teaming more

[rapid merlin]

so sal1

[loud orbit]

Really

[delicate edge]

Depends on eachs budget Im trying to get hired into help desk but all jobs ask me know german

And I dont know german

[rapid merlin]

but you will need to see some lil thing more

[sinful moon]

Germany does have a lot of petty darn vulnerable on-prem stuff lol

[delicate edge]

Well Germany is a market leader in EU

[sinful moon]

I think they're second to the US in on prem exchange 🤦‍♀️

[delicate edge]

Pretty much

Ill have to learn german but I dont know a good roadmap

Duolingo aint it

[sinful moon]

Just like with TryHackMe, you gotta learn for multiple sources. There's no single way to this knowedlge

and to be frank, learning a language and sticking with it is harder than learning infosec, learning guitar, or learning just about anything else I've done

Not saying that infosec isn't lifelong learning because it is, but learning a foreign language is even more so, you can't drop it

[delicate edge]

My plan was getting cloud certs

Like try to get microsoft fundamentals certs with 50% discount

AZ-900 SC-900 and Microsoft 365: Fundamentals

Due to being affordable I suppose

[rapid merlin]

you can for sys admin operation and after that add the siem build and soc you will be kinda good

[delicate edge]

Arent those associate?

[rapid merlin]

yeah but building maintaining and operating is completly different

[delicate edge]

Hmm so your idea?

[rapid merlin]

better be a lonely guy learning sys admin dev hacking and defense than just learning how to defend

[delicate edge]

I kinda dont like being lonely its pretty depressing

[rapid merlin]

i know buddy x)

thanks to my girl helping me mentally everyday but im kinda struggling also

[delicate edge]

[rapid merlin]

no pain

no gain

[delicate edge]

Atm I dunno if I should learn AWS or Azure

Or start with Azure and learn AWS along the way

[delicate edge]

Anyway Microsoft fundamental certs are like 25$ with the discount in Romania

[rapid merlin]

whatever you want for real

both are different

[delicate edge]

I heard Azure is more beginner friendly

AWS is a bit confusing I participated to an AWS Gameday event

[rapid merlin]

you'll see s3 bucket etc etc on one end and on the other you'll see a different type of things

AWS is a bit borring but usefull

azure is more friendly because microsoft

[sinful moon]

meanwhile I started with help desk, basically with no interview, mentioned to the boss, btw I know VMware and Linux. Become sysadmin, then have to remediate major vulnerability, prove my infosec skills, and keep advancing lol.

But this is a very weird circumstance and yeah I'd like to get certs as proof beyond this job experience

[rapid merlin]

go with basics on pentesting for real

[sinful moon]

like a lifetime of self taught before that

[rapid merlin]

eJPT is really easy like sleeping easy

[delicate edge]

Im currently networking with people and volunteer at tech events, tried volunteering somewhere else but aint it

[rapid merlin]

24hours exam but 2 hours to complete it if you did basic THM machine on msf and network

[sinful moon]

Honestly as much as I'd enjoy offensive, I think defensive would position me better in the market

even if yeah eventually OSCP would be a lifetime goal of mine

[rapid merlin]

you can do both after all it will secure a lot

OSCP i think (for my part) lost it's core value

[sinful moon]

I know I already do both but still

[delicate edge]

Defensive places you better because there is a broader range of jobs

[rapid merlin]

true

[delicate edge]

That is another reason I like Blue Team more also

[sinful moon]

Mhmm, effectively at work I am Windows Sysadmin, Linux Sysadmin, Lead Infosec everything, SOC Manager, compliance manager, devops everything, more roles I can't remember, and still help desk :p

[rapid merlin]

what i do is purple team and in my place i can work in both so yeah x)

[sinful moon]

Gotta love small business 🙃

[rapid merlin]

im an it consultant i do offensive test but some client can ask for blue teaming and i work in both

[sinful moon]

Technically I am as well

[rapid merlin]

that's really cool

[delicate edge]

Well you can discuss with the business owner to write a recommendation paper once you leave and add in your CV the tasks you did

[maiden badger]

Hello guys. Has anyone been having problems with the mouse pointer disappearing after upgrading kali?

[rapid merlin]

reboot

can happen

[sinful moon]

indeed, but yeah would be nice to have some certs to back things up

Just hard between work and... unwinding from work, and then life on top of all

but we'll see

[maiden badger]

Did it already

[rapid merlin]

kali on vm ?

[delicate edge]

Ask your boss if he can pay for your certification

[maiden badger]

yep

[delicate edge]

And argue that it helps you be a better worker

[rapid merlin]

what's your Desktop environment ?

[sinful moon]

He won't lol, plus the one time the in office people got state funding for certs they all didn't follow through lolol

They tried and didn't stick with it

[delicate edge]

Cant you report him for that?

[sinful moon]

No I'm out of state contractor

[maiden badger]

XFCE

[sinful moon]

so xorg

[rapid merlin]

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false

[delicate edge]

I heard there are companies that instead of paying for certs, they offer low quality training instead

[sinful moon]

nah this was a state sanctioned thing to get the official training from CompTIA lol. Doesn't mater anyways since out of scope for me as an contractor

I live 800 miles away heh

No need to find loopholes and etc, I'll get it eventually

[maiden badger]

Trying that, but I'm getting:

No such schema “org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor”

[rapid merlin]

he will post fake crypto scam again be ready xD

[sinful moon]

But yeah it's getting time for me to move on

[rapid merlin]

hmm strange

[sinful moon]

because yes they're not using GNOME

[rapid merlin]

oh im stupid

[sinful moon]

XFCE4 has it's own config system

[rapid merlin]

x)

[sinful moon]

and that's probably not the issue

[rapid merlin]

yeah i am kinda tired sorry xD

[sinful moon]

No worries

[rapid merlin]

go to settings if you manage than pointer try to switch your pointer for another

[sinful moon]

If this is a VM then it could be a number of very silly little things

[delicate edge]

I noticed low severity bugs dont offer rewards

[sinful moon]

But also if this is Kali and you don't have a ton locally saved after this update... you could just easily reinstall

[delicate edge]

Tryhackme could have offered a sub or something like that for these

[sinful moon]

that is kinda the point of Kali

[delicate edge]

Kali is interesting

[sinful moon]

Not supposed to be long term, just pop it up and you're ready

[maiden badger]

Yeah, I'm considering doing that. I'll only lose some files and tools that I've been collecting through my CTFs' journey

[sinful moon]

just back them up via SFTP or whatever first

if you have ssh access, then you inherently have SFTP

[maiden badger]

I tried to update VMware as well, but for some reason it's not doing automatic checks anymore

[sinful moon]

that's a different can of worms but honestly way less of a big deal

[maiden badger]

Yeah, you're right, it's probably the best solution to reinstall it

Gonna do it, thank you guys 🙂

[sinful moon]

yeah best to use it as something you can't rely on long term, keeps you from miusing what Kali is supposed to be anyways

no problem!

just yeah backup those files and you're set!

back in the day in general Linux discords we'd feild support requests for "how 2 install Steam in Kali".... just no lol

[marsh lark]

lol

[maiden badger]

Hahahha

yeah that's too much

[sinful moon]

Yeah just thought they'd use the leetHax0r Linux with 0 understanding of its use case lol

[rose creek]

i got sent back to broze form dimond

[sinful moon]

That wasn't even the worst I'd ever seen

"my friend installed the kali tools in arch but things are broke, what do".... friend literally installed apt in Arch and ran a script that just installed a bunch from Kali repos and wondered why everything was effed

that was like... wow

misconceptions on so many levels

because heh Arch has all those tools, imaigne that!

[rose creek]

i use athena os

it has arch

[maiden badger]

loool

[sinful moon]

but they ended up with a franken Arch/Debian hybrid that broke

[rapid merlin]

lmao yeah that's why we have a pack on the blackarch website called strap.sh that add all the mirror of blackarch

people using strap for debian cross usage on arch are some kind of stupid people xD

[sinful moon]

even then, my pentesting server is pure Arch, and yep works more than fine

[rose creek]

black arch is that dead now ???

[sinful moon]

I think it is

[rapid merlin]

they keep updating but people are more on endeavour or another distro

[delicate edge]

@gusty inlet I checked your website and my jaw dropped

[marsh lark]

sad that hyperland doesn’t work in vmware and vbox

[sinful moon]

It's all kinda pointless. Just use Kali. If you want a custom Arch based infosec enviroment just set it up yourself

[rose creek]

so because of things like athena that use a bit of there own and bit of black arch its slowly going down

[delicate edge]

Bro you have over 300 certifications and a lot of them are over 500$ 💀💀💀

[marsh lark]

thats a roadmap LOL

I helped in research

[delicate edge]

Oh then mbad

[sinful moon]

Again just use the industry standard, Kali. I am all about Arch but you need to be able to use a standard enviroment you're given

[marsh lark]

it has a lot of the certs available

[delicate edge]

I believed it was his roadmap

[marsh lark]

nah

[delicate edge]

[marsh lark]

well

technically he created it (with the help of others)

[delicate edge]

Ill just get Microsoft certs, are most beginner friendly

[sinful moon]

I use custom Arch setups but that's because I want to know every little detail of setting up and maintaining the software I need for infosec. But I am more than happy with Kali

Part of that is I want to know why i need it instead of "oh its' already there, and I just didn't know"

[rose creek]

ok

[marsh lark]

kali is nice, just set a golden image and you’re ready to go

[rose creek]

what do you think about kali nethunter then

[sinful moon]

it's interesting can't say I've tried it

I potentially could, not sure if it supports the old Android phone I have, but limited use case for me IRL

[marsh lark]

is that like kali on a phone?

[sinful moon]

correct

[rose creek]

yes

[marsh lark]

ah ok

[sinful moon]

and no NetHunter Lite is not the same kinda thing

[rose creek]

i used a bit of here and there but alot of just seems program on pc and then use the phone as a usb

[sinful moon]

but yeah I'm 800 miles away from work so little use case for handheld pentesting device like that... I say with my flipper lol

that's more a idk I just think they're neat

[rose creek]

like if i could see someone show me how you could use it 100% then yes i willing to learn and see the full use but till then a laptop is alot easier

[sinful moon]

Realistically not a ton of use case to nethunter other than "it's neat"

flipper zero at least has some immediate use for access control

[rose creek]

yea i have seen alot on the flipper but never used one

[dreamy bronze]

are the leauges broke

[ripe sleet]

Hello Donut!

[sinful moon]

Unless you’re doing a lot of physical access control stuff, it’s not terribly useful

[dreamy bronze]

why am i in bronze bro💔

[crisp creek]

is there a bug with the leagues? i was in ruby and was going to be promoted to diamond, checked like 5 mins ago was in diamond, checked again after doing a room and now it says im in bronze and i still have last weeks points

[dreamy bronze]

fr

lol

like bruh

[brittle comet]

me2

[crisp creek]

rip

[sinful moon]

laughs in not caring about the leagues

[dreamy bronze]

i kinda do kinda dont

kinda thig

[sinful moon]

But yeah sounds like some actual issue with the infra

[rose creek]

me too

[crisp creek]

think its something to do with the new ruby rank?

[hardy wharf]

how do i access echo for help

[rose creek]

i was diamond now i am brozen

click on it i think

[maiden badger]

my goodness, the broadcom website for vmware is way more confusing than it was before

[hardy wharf]

i cant find echo anywhere on thm

am i just blind

[ripe sleet]

Do you have it disabled currently?

[hardy wharf]

i'm not sure how do i check

[ripe sleet]

When you click your pfp there should be a button to enable it

[hardy wharf]

oh wait nope

its on

still can't find echo though

[rapid merlin]

refresh your page or relogin

[crisp creek]

if one of the questions has a hint button it opens the echo menu

[hardy wharf]

yep just tried echo is still not appearing

[hardy wharf]

ah maybe that is why

[sinful moon]

lol I for one will not use the AI gaslighting

[hardy wharf]

the questions i have does not have the hint button

[delicate edge]

Hmm dont use LLMs

I was #1 place in Silver League and I got demoted to Bronze

[hardy wharf]

i will be on bronze soon

[rose creek]

good job

[patent hill]

I got invited here, tho I have no knowledge about hacking

I'm just an experienced user. Changed about 20 pcs so far, started with C64

I mostly try to make stripped down windowses, for gamers

Are you interested ?

to learn cyber sec?

[patent hill]

well, I would like to protect people that use my windowses, so they can game in peace, but I'm not interested in hacking anyone

[rapid merlin]

You must be interested in blueteam

[patent hill]

blue team = defense?

[rapid merlin]

yah

[patent hill]

then yes

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-funny-funny-meme-meme-memes-funny-gif-10549585444767159988

[rapid merlin]

You are internet cafe owner?

i see

[patent hill]

No, can't have a bussiness with custom windowses

My work is mostly hobby, everything for free

Removing cpu cycles, so gamers can have more framerate

However, I can't have them butt naked on the web, as baddies exist

[sinful moon]

what

[patent hill]

wat?

[sinful moon]

Very confusing, so you're selling Windows PC, hopefully fully licenced, you strip them down software wise for performance, and that's it? What even is the question, and why is this a free endeavor. There's just very many questions about what your goal is and what you're even doing

[patent hill]

I'm not selling anything for one. As I said, my work is free. I just remove cpu cycles from offline windows image

[sinful moon]

If you're worried about security then what leg do you even have to stand on, you have no other infra outer than the computer you sold them, no AV or network equipment

Then I'm still confused

[patent hill]

Have you heard about Tiny11?

[sinful moon]

What is your goal?

Yes I am more than aware of it

[patent hill]

Well, Tiny11 is 2.4GB in size or more. Mine is around 1GB

[sinful moon]

That's even more concerning. Does Windows Firewall still work?

[patent hill]

yes

[sinful moon]

idk what you're worried about, yes you probably stripped out a ton of nice security functions besides that what is the goal here

[patent hill]

Well, I've been at it for past 7-8y or so, and I've reached a point I can't think of what to add or remove

[sinful moon]

We're sure not going to tell you how to strip it back more here, and probably can't condone providing modified Microsoft builds in the first place. Probably looking in the wrong spot. Any abbriation from a baseline Microsoft official build would be considered insecure, null and void to most of the business industry we work with

you may want communities that are more into modifying windows or focused on gaming

We do have knowledge in these areas but this server is about security above all else

not to discourage you, I get what you're doing, just not our thing

[patent hill]

Is it possible to make a user experience physical pain, through his pc, or phone, somehow digitally?

[sinful moon]

lol what

[patent hill]

It's what I need defense from

[topaz sedge]

Not exactly sure why do you wanna know that

Whose making you feel pain from a phone?

[dark wolf]

That reminds me of the time I was chatting on IRC about 30 years ago and I wanted this guy to leave the channel I was in but he was being annoying and wouldn't.

So I used an program to freeze his windows 95 and he timed out, but then he rejoined.

I then proceeded to tell him that if he didn't leave I would set his modem on fire. He then left.

[sinful moon]

lol

but of course we would do no such things these days

But yeah 9x era was wild

[dark wolf]

Yeah not too many laws surrounding that type of stuff back then

[sinful moon]

mhmm I just try to be careful about my past here lol, impressionable youth, but things have dramatically changed

[dark wolf]

I'm old enough that no one gives a crap

[sinful moon]

Hah that's fair, I've just been reprimanded for being too specific about my olden days

[dark wolf]

I can see that

[fervent cove]

guys i ordered chinese food but why did they give me two pencils

[sinful moon]

I will say I am glad I did not know how AD worked and that my high school ran on Win Server 2003 R2 at that time, I just did other things lol. Mind you kiddos, don't do those other things

[dark wolf]

CRACKROCK.IRC v3.0.1 for BitchX 72+ by novalogic

good old days when IRC clients were named insane things like that

[dark wolf]

what is this eggdrop1_3_18.tar

i've forgotten

[dark wolf]

/sbin/ipfwadm -O -a accept -V 192.168.0.1 -S 0.0.0.0/0 -D 192.168.0.0/24

meanwhile we've sorta done away with /sbin as a concept in some distros

kinda lost all meaning

[dark wolf]

True, most everything is bin now

Hi!! How are you? That's why I don't speak with "tech support" nowadays they don't know shit, just follow a script. When I really have to talk with them I always say the same before I called I already check everything in my device the issue is on your side so please transfer me with somebody that really knows their shit 🤣

[thick vine]

So, some scammer just contacted me on discord asking about if I bought a Counter Strike knife from them on Steam

And my actual Steam account was shown as being the buyer (probably just good photoshop on their part, my Steam account is literally linked on discord and uses a publicly available pfp)

But like, what the hell is the end goal with this? Like how is a scam like this even supposed to work?

[brazen crane]

How does one go from diamond league to bronze with out being in the drop out zone?

[dark wolf]

good question, how do i get promoted to diamond from diamond every week?

[brazen crane]

I dunno but it's a bit of a kick in the guts when you have been relentlessly pushing yourself

Made this far on my own guess I'll just fafo

[marsh lark]

there isn't a way

[brazen crane]

What do you mean, I just checked my email says I'm still diamond, log on and it's put me at the bottom of bronze?

[marsh lark]

then it is a bug

[patent hill]

It may be like boxing belt or I dunno

Question, if I uploaded a ps1 file to chatgpt, and it said 99% of functions are missing, then I opened file for editing, copied and pasted code to chatgpt to get a completly different analysis result, what does it mean?

Also, when pointing Grok or chatgpt to github repos to get data from, they say repos are empty, tho I see data?

[limber knoll]

Anyone here do bug bounty and made money from it? if so do you mind telling me a bit about it. I am interested in it and want to know its potential

[brazen crane]

Makes sense, had a rough week tech wise and that was just the cherry on top

[dark wolf]

Think of it as lotto winnings, it's not a career

But you might get lucky at one point and get one

[rapid merlin]

join nahamsec server you will get so many bug bounty guys

[fossil barn]

Yooo

[limber knoll]

oh so its not worth looking into?

[limber knoll]

what is that?

[dark wolf]

If you enjoy doing it for fun but don't expect to get paid then sure look into it

[rapid merlin]

that is a bug bounty server of a youtuber called nahamsec join that

[rapid merlin]

can i send you an invite

[limber knoll]

i think i joined it

[rapid merlin]

yes you joined it

[limber knoll]

well im still trying to get into bug bounty

i am a complete noob learning the basics right now lol

like im doing a basic intro to cyber course on cisco network academy

i also learned a bit of networking which i would like to improve my knowledge on that as well

in terms of how to actually acomplish bug hunting i have zero clue

[wispy vigil]

Same thing happened to me.

[dreamy bronze]

Do port swigger labs

Those r fun

Well after

[marsh lark]

why do you want to do bug bounty? I'm just curious

[dreamy bronze]

moneyyy

😛

[marsh lark]

if so, then not a good idea lol

[dreamy bronze]

joking

[sinful moon]

Are you though? It's just not sustainable to come about it that way

[dreamy bronze]

well he was asking the other guy

😭

[sinful moon]

Just nice side hobby. Fair but yes applies to anyone

[patent hill]

Running this reg tweak seems to have solved numerous issues for me

basically. it blocked outbound connections to amazon aws, akamai and microsoft

[limber knoll]

im interested in ethical hacking and pentetesting. I previously wanted to code buta fter some time i realized it isnt my thing. So i started looking into cyubersecurity type of stuff instead, learning about networking and i found it cool. Ethical hacking i guess is just the next step for me and i think bug bounty would both be very cool and related

[limber knoll]

i heard people make money from it but which i need lol but yes im not trying to rely on doing this for money

afterall i am just a beginner

[marsh lark]

ah got it

cuz I would avoid bug bounties if u want to make money

[limber knoll]

ye i see

anyone got good resources you guys used to learn about this type of stuff

becuase right now i am learning the fundamentals but don't know where to go after that

more specifically i am takinga cisco "junior cybersecurity analyst" path to learn which im not sure is the right thing to learn

[dark wolf]

That's what I told him

You probably want 10+ years in advanced cyber and reverse engineering to have a chance

[dreamy bronze]

that is brutal haha

[lime topaz]

hello everybody im compleately new here im 20 years old im a cybersecurity student im also good in programing langauges. i know good in python c c++ js etc. im also a mern developer. also a flask developer. now i prepare for ceh

[dreamy bronze]

dude how do you have the funds for ceh 💔

[lime topaz]

no thats why i learned mern stack developement to find first an entry level job

[lime topaz]

i think you also have the same problem

[marsh lark]

oh lol

[dreamy bronze]

indeed

[patent hill]

If I understand things correctly, Microsoft wants to kill me

[lime topaz]

So we both have a lack of opportunity, right? Haha.

[patent hill]

Tho they only reached a phase where they can hurt me physically

[lime topaz]

we need to make opportunity for our self first

[patent hill]

I have 8 eur on my account

[dreamy bronze]

Correct

[lime topaz]

are you are bigginer in cybersecurity by the way i study cybersecurity from atleast 3 year i did ccna and and i know programing can write script to automate the exploitation i also know papulat tools like burpsuid, nmap, wireshark, metalploit, some wifi hacking tool and some android hacking tool etc

[brazen crane]

Rather annoying to say the least, maybe that's just the gamer coming out in me like bs man I was on top must definitely be lag and every other gamer excuse ever haha

[limber knoll]

wehre did you learn all of this??

and you studied for 3 years??

[toxic osprey]

Same Happened with me, i just checked and saw i am on Bronze and yeseterday i was on Top 3 in Gold.

[brazen crane]

Definitely Heresy

[lime topaz]

bro i learned all these from leaked courses youtube a lot of articles and books

[limber knoll]

oh dang alr

ye im also tryna learn rn but am a noob

[lime topaz]

yeah i started when im 17 year old

[limber knoll]

how much time you spend a day on that??

is that just networking or smth?

[frozen gull]

Yeah

[limber knoll]

ive heard about it but never really got there

[frozen gull]

[lime topaz]

yeah i m thinking about this.. but first i wana do ceh

[marsh lark]

I believe it is a networking cert

[frozen gull]

But not enuf for a cybersec job

[dreamy bronze]

Ceh is very expensive bro😭

oh lord

[marsh lark]

how much is it?

[limber knoll]

Lol ceh is in the course in doing right now

[dreamy bronze]

Possibly
But if you got networking down packed it shouldn’t

[frozen gull]

Idk exactly

But it's expensive asf

[marsh lark]

lol

[marsh lark]

thats true

[frozen gull]

I recomend htb certificate instead of that

There are others for less than 500 dollars

[marsh lark]

even though i learned like ip packets and the different fields i still dont remember heheh

i aint tryan memorize but rather learn

[marsh lark]

?

[limber knoll]

is ccna like a online course you gotta pay for or smth?

[rapid gust]

my bad

[patent hill]

Yeah, iso on my ventoy usb was screwed up

[limber knoll]

maybe i can start learning this early becuase i am hoping to do this at some point too

[dreamy bronze]

It’s an exam

[marsh lark]

it is a cert

[rapid merlin]

its networking certificate

[rapid gust]

i did a practical for ccna creds thru my school

[rapid merlin]

that cisco is giving you

[limber knoll]

yes but like the information to take the test is it course based or how do you guys learn it?

[rapid gust]

we had to built a small network and bring up all the switches and routers dhcp, spanning, trunking, port security

[patent hill]

I tried something new with ntlite, and it somehow didn't apply, but still ended up with not installing windows

[grizzled sky]

you can find it on professor messer channel;

[dreamy bronze]

I used GNS3, packer tracer and netacad + geeks for geeks and github notes

[grizzled sky]

or you can get the network + which is basically equivalent;

[rapid gust]

packet tracer is nice af

[rapid merlin]

if you know the networking on ccna based then you can give the exam

[dreamy bronze]

and physical routers and switches my school offered

[limber knoll]

packet tracer has information on it??

[rapid gust]

its crazy that network + is the equivalent bc ccna goes so much deeper in my opinion😭

[dreamy bronze]

You can make your own networks and stuff

[rapid gust]

hi @rapid merlin did ur buddy resolve that program issue?

[rapid merlin]

no its an application for testing networking you can my labs ther so that you understand that whats going on and what is happening

[limber knoll]

ye ik

i use it

[rapid merlin]

yes he resolved thanks to you

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @rapid gust (current: #1095 - 5)

[limber knoll]

for my networkign basic course i was doing

[patent hill]

the one in my bio should work, tho since ntlite removes services that are checked during install, install halts for about 5mins but completes

[rapid gust]

🥲

[dreamy bronze]

u like it?

[limber knoll]

its interesting altough at first i was very lost

like wth are these different layers im staring out 💀

or the incoming bounds or outcoming bounds of the packets

[dreamy bronze]

Haha

[limber knoll]

i mean thats still just scratching the surface

[rapid merlin]

you will know if you see someone CCNA based course @limber knoll i suggest the networkchuck ccna course

[limber knoll]

but like i want to learn more

[dreamy bronze]

More about what

Networking ?

[limber knoll]

isnt that incomplete?

i was looking at it before

[rapid merlin]

maybe but i learnt so much from him the switches routers and also subnetting that is great

[rapid gust]

subnetting was fun af when i learned it

i wrote a program to automate it

[rapid merlin]

yes its so much fun

[limber knoll]

i alr know subnetting switches routers stuff

i took 2 courses on cisco netacad

[rapid gust]

same with all the cisco configs talo i wrote a program that automated all of the switch and routing configurations

[lime topaz]

yeah in start we dont know why we do it haha..

[rapid merlin]

i also wrote some basic program for changing the ip to binary and binary to ip

[rapid gust]

do one of u want it? its like the worst code ever i wrote it before learning python XD i did that stuff straight from the dome

[limber knoll]

thats so tough!!

[dreamy bronze]

Meanwhile I’m doing it manually everyday 💔💔💔

[lime topaz]

haha..

[rapid merlin]

then what you don't know

[rapid merlin]

what writing the code is tough

[rapid gust]

ill send you the doc talo just copy and run it in an online compiler

its just text

[rapid merlin]

ok send me in dm

but explain that what is that @rapid gust

[limber knoll]

like whatever FHRP is

[lime topaz]

at start do it manually. then write code for it or you can find onlion tools for this as will

[dreamy bronze]

First hip router protocol it’s explained on g4g

[lime topaz]

at start do it manually. then write code for it or you can find onlion tools for this as will

[rapid merlin]

oh yeah the basic stuff like this you could learn it from chatgpt or any other ai because its only basic stuff

[dreamy bronze]

Noted

[limber knoll]

i never heard of it though

[lime topaz]

yeah ok haha..

[rapid merlin]

i was just making it for fun

[rapid merlin]

you never heard of chatgpt or never heard of ai

[lime topaz]

oo okok bro

[limber knoll]

nono the other thing

[rapid merlin]

that ask it from ai

[lime topaz]

realy haha..

[limber knoll]

Anyone know the answer to this

[true viper]

Guys, how do I get into the tech field? Like, I like coding but then I don’t even know where to start when I’m by myself. Like i have a tech professor teaching us c++ for half the semester and I still don’t even understand what the heck im doing😭.

[patent hill]

This is almost my entire work in the past 10y or so
https://pixeldrain.com/u/313YL6NR

[dreamy bronze]

is this free

[limber knoll]

yes

[lime topaz]

its Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities i think

[limber knoll]

you prolly dont need tho

[rapid gust]

@rapid merlin i sent it dont judge the code XD

[limber knoll]

how do you know that lol

[rapid merlin]

what do you mean by the judge the code

[rapid merlin]

can you send me the link

[lime topaz]

haha.. i think i heard it somewhere?

[limber knoll]

i dont got a link but heres what its called

[lime topaz]

in my networking accademy

[limber knoll]

its on netacad by csico

[rapid merlin]

Spectre is like your friend when you are not around he's backstabbing you

[marsh lark]

lol

[dreamy bronze]

the lion joins every free Cisco course and never finishes them

[limber knoll]

lowk i understand it

i say ima do this and dont do it 😭

like iw as supposed to do a machine learning book but only got to like page 150 and stopped out of like 700

or 500

because i had too many things on my plate

[lime topaz]

Guys whare you all from??

[dreamy bronze]

ML is crazy

[marsh lark]

anywhere and everywhere

[rapid gust]

arizona!

[limber knoll]

it follows like a pattern

[rapid merlin]

i am from Russia

i think there is no other pakistani accept me haha..

[rapid gust]

wya auramatic southwest?

[limber knoll]

nah in like east

[lime topaz]

who do programing right now ?

[rapid merlin]

me

[limber knoll]

what kind

[lime topaz]

wow same here

[lime topaz]

any kind of coding

[limber knoll]

well then same here i guess

did python, java, lua, javascript and thats abt it ig

[lime topaz]

wow ok haha..

[limber knoll]

python mainly back then and tried building websites with django

and used lua for roblox dev although lost motivation

[rapid merlin]

what are you programming

[limber knoll]

i had a lot motivation back then though

and java for robotics

[lime topaz]

i creating a website on MERN technologies

[patent hill]

Keep in mind most of my stuff is uncommented and/or unfinished

[lime topaz]

wbu?

[limber knoll]

waht do you guys think about hacker101??

[rapid merlin]

i am on a personal project

[lime topaz]

you creating portfolio?

[patent hill]

A lot of stuff chagpt wrote me is gone forever since I deleted my account

[rapid merlin]

why are you asking so many questions

[rapid gust]

hahahaha

[lime topaz]

haha.. what you think about this?

[rapid merlin]

Its like isekai anime where you have to find your first quest like dungeon, solo leveling and you are the main character to find bug

[rapid merlin]

can i ask you a question

[lime topaz]

yeah you can.

[rapid merlin]

when i see indians and pakistanis why their profile pics are something like your one

[limber knoll]

idk what that is...

[limber knoll]

is it a course? cus it seems like it is

[rapid merlin]

Imagine you were the MC and the quest is to find monster and kill it and then you submit your report to guild master and earn money

[lime topaz]

i dont know indians but i like hackers mask also like haker style pics. thats why. but tell me why you asked this? haha..

[rapid merlin]

In bugbounty you find bugs, report it and make money

[rapid merlin]

because many profiles when i see of pakistan guys and indian they have profile pics like this

[patent hill]

I can't afford to pay any bughunters

[lime topaz]

haha.. its like sign of tech. and i like tech very much

[limber knoll]

what are some necessary programming languages to learn for cybersecurity

[rapid merlin]

Python

[patent hill]

Afaik C++ is needed for kernel level stuff, or maybe Rust

[lime topaz]

will if you wana do reverse engeneering then learn assambly, for basic scripting learn bash or python.

[lime topaz]

👍

[sinful moon]

They're still at it whew

[limber knoll]

ugh i heard C++ is hard although im not sure about rust

[limpid mountain]

Python is highly recommended if you focus mainly on web pentesting and crypto stuffs
