Can anyone explain me that what cloud is ?? And why it's used for hacking

[digital estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/car-garn47-47-cat-game-gif-18225718487563422536

[celest dirge]

Cloud in simple terms is just someone else's computer. The cloud could be Amazon Web services, which are hosted on the cloud providers servers (Correct me if I'm wrong)

[mellow widget]

So it's like another computer with an os??

[celest dirge]

Basically

[mellow widget]

Oh thanks for helping me 🙏

Check out Microsoft Learn, they have free training and information on Cloud

Hi team, just doing Attacking and Defending AWS modules and when I click on "Cloud Details" to get credentials to log into the test enviroment to complete the modules it shows "Not ready" - its been showing this for few hours now. Any idea why that is?

[errant echo]

Hi! Not really a question about THM, but wondering if there are some sort of blogs, or resources that is fun to read! Any recommendations?

[mossy river]

Yup

[celest dirge]

Here are my recommendations:

• Fortinet's blogs (Lots of research and interesting information)
• TheDFIRReport
• TheHackerNews

Although it's a small list, I personally find them useful.

[mossy river]

lol a FedEx support employee accidentally copy pasted something into my chat for someone else

Then they said "wrong chat" loool

Nothing sensitive but poor employee was probably handling 5 different conversations at once

[celest dirge]

Probably was and lost track of which chat they were in.

Can't really blame the guy.

[mossy river]

Looks like they were meant to paste something else but didn't copy it right

Not going to hold it against them though 😆 Just thought it was funny

[celest dirge]

This is why people should rly take their Cybersec learning seriously, so they can get a stress-free and relaxing role like a soc analyst

Speaking of copying right, reminds me of the time where we had a college employee, that had sent out an email towards students about enrolling into classes, but accidentally left the entire template they were using.

So you could see the message and then like the entire template formatting and text

do you have an oscp cerft

[mossy river]

no

[worldly pollen]

Which one do you have the most popular one?

[rose tusk]

[mossy river]

Why? 😆

[worldly pollen]

just lemme know bro

[marsh lark]

lol

[mossy river]

🤔

[worldly pollen]

are u pushing for Jr. Penetration Tester (PT1)

🙂

[willow delta]

hello guys

[mossy river]

Not really something I'm looking to take at this moment in time

[dark wolf]

That cert is only to prep you for what it's like to take a certification test.

[worldly pollen]

hmm maybe one day bro

try ur best

[dark wolf]

And prepare you for certs that will help you get a job

[rapid merlin]

hi

[worldly pollen]

nah man

[dark wolf]

PT1 is not recognized by employers though usually

[marsh lark]

not yet, yeah

too early

[rapid merlin]

hru all

[dark wolf]

Yeah, maybe when Echo becomes president it will be

[marsh lark]

[worldly pollen]

I dont really think PT1 would be enough for finding a job

tbh

[rapid merlin]

whats pt1

[marsh lark]

certification

for cybersecurity

[pine bison]

that has 0 HR value atm

[dark wolf]

It's a certification you can get on here that helps prepare you for jobs and for getting other certs

[rapid merlin]

what certification that can get you job

[gusty inlet]

With the current market no certification will get you a job or even barely an interview.

[rapid merlin]

if its not pt1

[dark wolf]

CISSP

[worldly pollen]

oscp

[gusty inlet]

Even the OSCP.

[rapid merlin]

i see

[mossy river]

Certs are HR keywords

[worldly pollen]

ofc oscp man

[marsh lark]

although OSCP is too overhyped

[rapid merlin]

why

[rose tusk]

^^

[worldly pollen]

not this pt1

[gusty inlet]

The amount of OSCP holders who are #OpenToWork is super big.

[rose tusk]

the value/cost is minimal

[rapid merlin]

how much is it for oscp

[marsh lark]

yup

[gusty inlet]

1.7K

[marsh lark]

1.7K

[gusty inlet]

Base price.

[worldly pollen]

1699 dolar

[pine bison]

You have a better chance of geting a foot in the field with BLUE CERTS

[dreamy bronze]

holyyy

[rapid merlin]

wow

[dreamy bronze]

i’m
way to poor for that

[rapid merlin]

i thought its about 700 or something

[mossy river]

Did the price increase? I don't remember OSCP being that expensive

[pine bison]

1.7k

[rose tusk]

if you think that's expense, don't mind SANS

[dark wolf]

Certifications are an addendum to your job application and at times required by the company for contractual reasons of sorts.

Certifications help you fulfill certain employer requirements.

Certifications do not replace experience and employers do NOT hire someone just because they have X Cert.

[pine bison]

2.7k 1 year i htink?

[rapid merlin]

i think it increased

[gusty inlet]

Always knew it was 1.7K, what did you have in mind?

[rapid merlin]

do they give you lessons etc

or just exams straight away

[mossy river]

I thought 899

[pine bison]

nah

[mossy river]

1.7 is actually wild

[gusty inlet]

Holy was it ever 899?

[rose tusk]

like 4-5 years ago

[pine bison]

1.7k is like 90 days?

[rapid merlin]

899 would be a good price for it

[worldly pollen]

but if u are planing to be a blue team member probably it would be BTL1 - BTL2

[rapid merlin]

what about soc analyst

[worldly pollen]

but BTL2 , 2300dolar

[rapid merlin]

that's expensive

[marsh lark]

wow

[dark wolf]

Check here .. https://dragkob.com/security-certification-roadmap/ ... This guy seems to have all the info

[gusty inlet]

Yeah no thank you. Tons of people with OSCP can't even find jobs. Not something I'm a fan of.

[marsh lark]

yes

[rapid merlin]

exactly

paying 1.7k to not get a job is not it

[rose tusk]

instead of complaing about "oh that costs a fortune", "oh what certs do i need" etc, make a move and start studying and develop something useful that can vouch your value

[mossy river]

I used to dream of having OSCP, now I dream of 15k trophies in Clash Royale 😔

[gusty inlet]

[marsh lark]

[rapid merlin]

ok and?

[marsh lark]

you already got 1K

[rapid merlin]

find a job immediately?

[gusty inlet]

10K*

[marsh lark]

yes

sry

[pine bison]

I think one of the best thing is build your connections, post blog posts about your own security researches.

[mossy river]

11.9k now

[marsh lark]

[rose tusk]

that's also a possibilty yes 🙂 experience is still experience 🙂

[gusty inlet]

Can't be bothered at this point.

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[rapid merlin]

correct

[dark wolf]

That is NOT how it works. You are very very confused. You do NOT pay that money to get the cert and then get a job.

You get a job and then your job pays for you to get the cert because they want you to have it.

That is how it works.

[rapid merlin]

but what if the hr asks for those exams

[pine bison]

Bro I saw a post on reddit, he posted Pt1 completion path on linked and got an interview 😭 Idk if that BS or not but if its real, i'm really happy for the dude

[rapid merlin]

really?

[dark wolf]

Then you are aiming to high, start entry level

[marsh lark]

those could be the prereqs, but that still doesn't mean that you get the job 100%

[dark wolf]

Yes! If you are in the right company they will pay for your training and certs

[rapid merlin]

okay thanks guys

[gusty inlet]

Offensive Security is so dead currently it's honestly sad to see.

[mossy river]

Job gets you the cert, certs get your CV looked at, experience gets you the interview, interview gets you the job

or be born into a rich family then you don't need a job, cert, cv or experience 😊

[pine bison]

LF jr pentesters = requirement OSCP 😂

[rapid merlin]

lol okay

thanks all

[gusty inlet]

Oh my god, my bad.

I meant server tags.

[marsh lark]

yes

[gusty inlet]

How?

[marsh lark]

go to profile settings

[alpine sigil]

Just click on tag and join not searchable

[gusty inlet]

We can search for tags?

[marsh lark]

wait

do u mean search for tags that u can have?

[gusty inlet]

Yes.

Or if they exist

[marsh lark]

you can search the tags you can wear on profile settings

and scrolling down

no way of searching for all server tags possible in discord

[gusty inlet]

RIP

How do you know if one exists or not?

[marsh lark]

the only way may be creating one and see

i got 3 accounts of him and his server which has the credentials of the stolen accounts someone please help me stop this guy

[mossy river]

Report him to the authorities

[tawny plank]

i don't think they are gonna do smthing about him

[mossy river]

You're making a big assumption 😄

No please do not share his server or information here, that is vigilantism

[tawny plank]

alr

he already tried that to me 2 times

[mossy river]

We are not the police, we cannot stop them from doing anything. If we did, we may be violating local laws

[tawny plank]

i mean try to talk to him or smthing

so what should i do now

[neat kindle]

international crimes?

[tawny plank]

his server has so many accounts already

[neat kindle]

now we're talkin

https://tenor.com/view/kitty-war-crimes-commited-help-me-fear-gif-22404347

[tawny plank]

im from greece and i don't think greece police is gonna do smthing about that

[mossy river]

If you know what country they're from, you can submit a tip to their police usually.
You can also report their domain for phishing

There's hundreds of kids that do this all the time, I wouldn't lose your head over one of them

[tawny plank]

they are from greece too

[tawny plank]

i don't like seeing other kids fall for these from another kid thats why

[mossy river]

I understand

Best thing you can do is report them and spread awareness

[tawny plank]

the thing is that he also gets other kids to do that because he steals their credentials

thats the worst part of it

[tawny plank]

i already spammed the server saying that this guy is trying to steal your credentials but most of them don't even look at my msgs

[languid spindle]

Have you tried to report him to site admins?

[narrow yew]

You know you can call roblox.

[marsh lark]

best to let the moderators of the server as well

[narrow yew]

I have done it

[marsh lark]

not sure what roblox can do

[narrow yew]

Was it not robloz

[marsh lark]

its a phishing site thats steals roblox users

[narrow yew]

Oh. Then it is easier

Whom is the domain provider

[untold kiln]

Hi

[neat kindle]

gotta complain to kratos

Oh yeah you can just report the domain

[neat kindle]

he deals with da greek

[still glen]

hey guys, the ssh2john module essentially turns the id_rsa file into a format that john the ripper can understand, correct? and then john the ripper uses the same algorithms as the ssh private keys to create a new private key. If those two private keys match, then we have our password?

[tawny plank]

not yet i've seen the site if u wanna see it too i can send it to u

[languid spindle]

Yes

[tawny plank]

the mods of the server are a bunch of kids that don't even moderate

[marsh lark]

well, we can't do anything

[dark wolf]

Where is the site posted that is the phishing site. Do a WHOIS lookup on the domain where the phishing site is and email the technical contact and administrative contact that there is illegal phishing posted on their site.

[languid spindle]

In a nutshell shell you give it a file to check a hash against as it makes a bunch of hashes to is known dictionary of words

ooh roblox and kids

who woulda guessed

That and checking the site for any emails that say they are fuor support

[tawny plank]

if u wanna do that i can send u the link rn i have to say to everyone in the server to not press the link

[mossy river]

As I already stated, you are not sending any info here

[tawny plank]

yesterday he send me to another site and now maybe he made a new one

[tawny plank]

ofc

[mossy river]

It takes 5 seconds to pop up on a new domain

Nothing you can do, report them and move on

[dark wolf]

Yes, do not post it here, if you dm me the site I will give you the email to send the complaint to.

[mossy river]

If you know they're Greek but refusing to contact the authorities then I have no further advice

[languid spindle]

No problem but I’d suggest asking in the cybersecurity-101 path next time

[narrow yew]

Reach out to domain registar

[mossy river]

DMing would be circumvension of the server rules

[narrow yew]

Easiest and short solution. They are up within 5 min

[dark wolf]

Well that's not terribly helpful now is it lol. Rules re rules though.

[mossy river]

Whole point of not having them share it is to avoid them sending it to people who might not use ethical means

[dark wolf]

So no DM thn, just google Whois and put int he domain

[neat kindle]

spicy

[tawny plank]

the fact is that his kid is making new accounts with the same name so its really easy to find his new acc

[narrow yew]

I think it is enough roblox server talk now.

[dark wolf]

Makes sense since THM doesn't want things traced back to them from something that happened in here.

[neat kindle]

i wanna quote MGSRR so badly but jabba would shoot me

[marsh lark]

and that they don't want people to be hacked

[narrow yew]

Imagine theoretically that we got the url and owner did not do his job and we can ffuf logins.

But only ethical thoughts

ETHICAL RULES OF LIFE TO LIVE BY:

1. Always be ethical
2. If you ever do anything unethical, deny it and never admit it to anyone.
3. If someone finds or accuses you of doing something unethical, deny it and accuse them of doing something more unethical.

shadow is a hacker according to the definition of hacker that shadow follows

[celest dirge]

If you want pure frustration -> HackTheBox Labs and Academy.

[dark wolf]

vigorizante became a hacker at 18 months old when he decided to take apart his parents new vacuum cleaner with a screwdriver leaving them unable to put it back together

[celest dirge]

This sentence gives me "Noob🟫 Vs. Pro💎 Vs. Hacker "

[chrome abyss]

lol

[sand trench]

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.

[dark wolf]

So don't do it!

[potent iron]

I thought about skipping it but I decided to go ahead and do it im 24% completed now!

[dark wolf]

Yes, tips would be to practice some CTF on here and see if you can do them

Are you on the website akaza??

[narrow yew]

I would never ever

[celest dirge]

Unfortunately, I'm not a "Day in the life of" and "How I landed my first" Youtuber, so no

[maiden wyvern]

I am starting today.

[dark wolf]

It takes months of training before you will confidently get good at CTFs

Unfortunately , this isn't basketball or baseball where you can just hop in and do them

[narrow yew]

I am still stuck on Hammond one

[maiden wyvern]

it says questions will be about web, forensics, crypto and pwn

[maiden wyvern]

I am participating to humble myself and for the certificate

[dark wolf]

do some training on www.tryhackme.com for those subjects

[maiden wyvern]

just want to put my best attempt

[dark wolf]

look at youtube videos of people doing ctf challenges

[maiden wyvern]

ok thanks

[dark wolf]

see what they do, how they do it

[maiden wyvern]

are those topics like common for CTF?

[dark wolf]

There are a vast number of possible topics for CTF

There are common things but each one has uncommon things as well

you have to be familiar with and understand dozens of concepts in order to fully understand and compete

[celest dirge]

Yeah, it's worth doing imho, it's a goldmine of useful information.

[distant robin]

Too bad, they can't find me

[maiden wyvern]

ok ok thanks

[dark wolf]

Try the pre-security rooms on tryhackme.com akaza

[maiden wyvern]

I am in a team of 5

ok will do

[narrow yew]

Something might be blocking the signal

[celest dirge]

Guys, serious question. Should I get into GRC, it looks fun but at the same time extremely boring.

[distant robin]

My cochlear implant?

[narrow yew]

Close

[distant robin]

It's magnetic and I use it as a party trick - I make peope think it's magic when I put fridge magnets on it

[narrow yew]

Not sure what it is and too lazy to Google on phone

[old canopy]

damn i was talking about this room with tryhackme feedback guy today

[dark wolf]

It's a hearing aid for people who are deaf

[old canopy]

universe trying to tell me to look into pre security rooms again

[narrow yew]

Sounds like a waste of money if someone is deaf

But thanks for explaining.

I am sure that is not it

[dark wolf]

lol, bro, it's so that deaf people can hear

[maiden wyvern]

apparently its called CTF jeopardy. have you guys done smth like this b4?

[narrow yew]

Is it the robot thing behind the ear

CTF jeopardy on HTB

[maiden wyvern]

I have 12 full hours tomorrow. no exams this week

[distant robin]

It's an implant with a magnet in the skull behind the ear and the wire goes into the cochlear creating electrical impulses from a receiver which looks like an hearing aid. I haven't worn mine for 25 years

[maiden wyvern]

I just dont want to be useless for the team

[narrow yew]

I will pair my phone to the BT and play raining tacos until you surrender

[maiden wyvern]

ok thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @narrow yew (current: #335 - 24)

[distant robin]

It doesn't work that way. BTW my hearing aid has BT, I can listen to music on my phone using it

[dark wolf]

airpods can work as hearing aids now

[waxen tartan]

Someone in here From Switzerland?

[narrow yew]

Then next CTF will be BT hacking

[dark wolf]

What do you have against British Telecom?

[narrow yew]

Funny guy

I will connect to her hearing aid and play " hello I am Cornholio..

@polar spoke if you alive? got q about hashcat

[potent iron]

w00t w00t im climbing 3rd place in gold league!

[rose creek]

o no htb is coming for my spot in diamond lol

hello everyone

[narrow yew]

Ask anyone for help with kitty

[loud marlin]

nah. this is for hashcat directly

[cedar charm]

hey chat

[sand trench]

hashcat goes boing and tada the hash is cracked

[dreamy bronze]

anyone know why when i reset my password on proton i cannot access the contents of the email anymore 😭😭

[loud marlin]

moar of hashcat power 🙂 well. since we can crack things, why we can't have option to create rainbowtables and so things as same. if i explain it ok. provide all info as cracking but to output whole given wordlist or so 🙂

[loud marlin]

send mail. or if you have 2fa. or if you saved recovery codes

[strong fjord]

does anyone know when the black friday discount will take place?

[polar spoke]

Sup

[loud marlin]

this @polar spoke

[pallid lotus]

I mean, just a hunch, but I'd guess maaayyyybe black Friday?

[narrow yew]

We all want to know about the secret hashcat question only chicken can awnser

[polar spoke]

Rainbow tables are not big files full of hashes

that’s a common misconception

Generating rainbowtables takes significantly more compute than generating hashes, because they are made of compressed chains

it’s much more complex than you might expect

[loud marlin]

well.. for example. i can use openssl to calculate md5 and so things, that are in hashcat list. well be nice that can do do all the things and save as output file. for example to provide salt and so things and save it

[narrow yew]

Great response

[polar spoke]

It’s actually faster to recalculate than to search in a file like that

[loud marlin]

yea. ik. just was wonder if ever by possible. i try to make smth for my self atm and was thinking that hashcat can do the same. or might in process of cracking to save progress output

[polar spoke]

Like, orders of magnitude faster

additionally, hashcat can hash and compare hashes orders of magnitude faster than you can generate them to be saved

[strong fjord]

I was hoping they're gonna make it earlier

[loud marlin]

in some table form or smth. if is explain it ok due to language barrier

[polar spoke]

Getting the data off the GPU is like, 100000x slower at least than the way we compare

[loud marlin]

hmm... fair yea

[polar spoke]

there’s essentially no way to store the data from a run in a useful form that also outperforms just doing the run again

Which is why we don’t

[loud marlin]

so is facter to crack unknown then build and save table from some wordlist with given extra input

[blissful snow]

[queen flare]

any suggested resources for starting with game hacking?

[sand trench]

linux or windows???
single player or multiplayer???

[queen flare]

i don't know anything so i'll have to start from the bottom

my objective is to learn more about low level stuff and learn more about reverse engineering through game hacking

[sand trench]

i.e are you hacking games from a linux machine or a windows machine
also if you wanna hack multiplayer games shadow is gonna opt out of telling you anything

[queen flare]

^ this

so whatever helps with that is what i wanna learn

[queen flare]

i'm not asking about anything illegal, goes without saying

i need a starting point

[polar spoke]

Yes

[floral flint]

Hi everyone 👋 I’m Zaya, new to cybersecurity and really excited to start learning!
I’m looking for a beginner-friendly study group or a mentor who can help guide me through basic TryHackMe labs.
If anyone’s open to studying or chatting about learning paths, I’d love to connect! 🙏

[sand trench]

well back to on linux or on windows...
linux == PINCE
windows == cheat engine

[queen flare]

i mean i've messed around with cheat engine a little but that doesn't really fulfill my goal of becoming better at reverse engineering as much

[sand trench]

it does if you do all the steps of the tutorial and then try and replicate said things on singleplayer games

[loud marlin]

fair fair

[queen flare]

but cheat engine does everything for u though

[sand trench]

??? not really

[queen flare]

you don't get to program stuff urself

[sand trench]

the most basic parts of cheat engine sure makes some things easy

but if you follow the last few steps it is reverse engineering functions to mess with assembly code

to make cheats that can be attached to any new instances or runs of said singleplayer game

[queen flare]

true

[sand trench]

also check the last few advent of cybers game hacking sections

[dreamy bronze]

in routing does the longest match always win?

is that the rule

or

[lone thistle]

I'm presuming you're talking about longest prefix match, in which, yes

well actually

not always but mostly

if you have routes that have the same prefix length then there's other criteria about hops/routing protocol etc

or you can policy-based routing that'll override that so

[dreamy bronze]

ahh okay makes sense

[lone thistle]

so in summary yes but also not always

[analog rain]

is anyone familiar whit kali linux?

[sand trench]

no
noone here knows what kali linux is

[analog rain]

do you

[sand trench]

[analog rain]

i dowlowded it through virtualbox but the quality is bad

[sand trench]

install virtualbox guest additions and then change the resolution on the vm

[lament tendon]

Press your home button and search for "Display". Then adjust the screen resolution to what you like.

Instead of pressing home you can also click on the menu button in the top left.

[analog rain]

in virtual box or kali linux?

[lament tendon]

In Kali Linux.

[analog rain]

ok tnx

[lament tendon]

Virtualbox should also have options for that, but I don't use it so I cannot tell you by heart.

You can google for something like "change screen resolution in virtualbox" for that.

[echo sentinel]

Also, did you install it with an ISO or VM image?

[analog rain]

It is not a pixelated jpeg.

[sand trench]

shadow is starting to question why everyone comming in here as newbs are asking for mentors

[dark wolf]

English only please

[dark wolf]

shadow has observed a once great place of collaboration and security conversations. a place that vigorizante never knew, for he was here too late. he arrived after the downfall and corporitization. Vigo only got to know a few of the last remaining people here before the last deep cut to trust.

Sad 🙁

Now the place remains a magnet for "I want to learn" (and you never see them again) or "someone hacked my account" ( and they beg for help )

[modern fox]

https://tenor.com/view/get-real-cat-skate-funny-meme-gif-18666878

[sand trench]

the real ones don't ask for private mentorship and instead ask their questions in the open to be judged and helped with

[narrow yew]

What is this private mentorship

I see it alot

is there payment=

[dark wolf]

I heard there used to be a lot of regulars here actually discussing cyber... is that true shadow?

[narrow yew]

I can mentor how to fix a flat tire

[dark wolf]

I'm 51 with 25 yrs IT exp. I'm sure I could mentor some people for the right price.

The thing is, I don't really love it, but I can be effective. So that's one thing.

[sand trench]

yeah a lot decide to say their goodbyes for good reasons

[dark wolf]

Another is that if I charge too much I won't get customers, which for me is GREAT!! And if I did get a customer, then GREAT!

So I will start a business for mentoring.

$200 non refundable deposit + $450/hr

[rose creek]

how do i get started doing bug bountys

[dark wolf]

You spend years in Cyber learning the ropes

Then you learn how to do it pv2

[tawdry yew]

Yo

[dark wolf]

I'll either get rich customers who don't care about the price or people who think that because of the price, the training is really good. And since I have so much experince, I feel I am worth that price anyway.

Esp with prices going up all around

[sturdy sequoia]

whats everyone up to today? anything interesting?

[dark wolf]

just slowly doing a configuration and pretending to try to work

its friday so its hard

lol

[sturdy sequoia]

Ah "fun"...

[narrow yew]

@dark wolf mentor me, I am n00b

[dark wolf]

Hmmm.... you saw my pricing

of course, that is in person, online is $75/hr discount so only $375/hr online

[narrow yew]

I just commented sounding grumpy on a work ticket.
End user created a ticket because proxy blocked Powershell from SSHing, as it should with no proxy out from the network.

User posted screenshots using ChatGPT Free for guidance to install Kubernetes...as an Senior Azure devops engineer

too much fun to not pick a fight

[dark wolf]

lol

[narrow yew]

@dark wolf I get discount for beeing old?

[dark wolf]

So a user is creating a ticket telling you that they used chat gpt to tell you how to do your job?

[narrow yew]

So small minded as I am, I reached out to manager 🙂

User asked our service desk for help but they have no clue what too look for

They forgot they have L2/L3 and sent it to IT security

[dark wolf]

why the hell does powershell need to ssh out to the internet

[narrow yew]

Beats me, culture differences I guess

I showed an DEV how to do Curl a while back while validating a bug bounty fix

They used postman for that...

[dark wolf]

I wonder if THM uses kubernetes

[narrow yew]

Well is that not what nmap will tell you 🙂

[dark wolf]

allegedly?

[patent jacinth]

Anyone got a free email I can use

[narrow yew]

I sent them something similar to this in another ticket to fix.
https://www.orthongel.fr/pages/tools/notes/captaccid.txt (I just googled inurl: notes.txt)

They asked me to send a screenshot so they could see the issue

[dark wolf]

Nope

[narrow yew]

Instead of just opening the URL and do it

[dark wolf]

That isn't why we are here Blank

[patent jacinth]

My bad

[narrow yew]

I wonder what page I just posted an url from.

[pallid lotus]

For what?

[narrow yew]

All text is encoded

[dark wolf]

Kubernetes, or "k8s," is an open-source container orchestration system that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

[pallid lotus]

... I know what kubernetes is smfh

For what. As in. For what would they be using Kubernetes.

Why would they need it. What would they be doing with it.

Etcetera

[dark wolf]

Launching VMs as containerized apps

[pallid lotus]

I mean, for a start Kubernetes generally deals in containers...
But no, THM uses EC2 for that.

[dark wolf]

so just containers not vms ... kubernetes and docker are for containers only?

[pallid lotus]

Technically you can use K8s to orchestrate VMs. KubeVirt, I believe.

In practice it seems like an odd way to do it.

[dark wolf]

makes sense

Now to completely change subjects, are there any zero days that you know of for EC2

lololol 😛

[narrow yew]

On discord? 😄

[dark wolf]

No I'm being silly

[pallid lotus]

I mean, if I told you then it would no longer be a zero day

[dark wolf]

Not according to the media lol they think zero day stays zero day until its patched

[pallid lotus]

Tbh, it's a shame. We floated using ECS to launch smaller challenges years back. Would save so much money and make updating the challenges a lot simpler.

Didn't go anywhere though.

[pallid lotus]

Yeah, but media / politicians and tech are generally incompatible

[narrow yew]

I would call it a zero day at least with in a few days if no patch

[pallid lotus]

Nah, once it's disclosed it becomes an N day

[narrow yew]

It might not be disclosed

[pallid lotus]

By definition a zero day is an unknown exploit

[dark wolf]

Sounds like it is supposed to mean the zeroeth day it's out lol

but im too literal

[narrow yew]

But there is a difference on the definition and what someone refers to something as

[pallid lotus]

If it's not disclosed then how could there possibly be a patch..?
The period between disclosure and patching is when it would be referred to as an n day exploit.

[pallid lotus]

You're aware that's literally the definition of "definition", right? "What someone refers to something as"

[narrow yew]

For work if something is released on a saturday I would call that server owner on a monday if not a Crit and tell him to patch because there is a zero day

[dark wolf]

I think the most realist zero day exploit would be exploiting a system using an exploit that won't be finished until the following day

[sturdy sequoia]

eh. its all semantics. it doesnt really matter if something techincally counts as a 0day or not

[dark wolf]

use the exploit before it's written

[sturdy sequoia]

where my -1 days?

[dark wolf]

hahaha

[pallid lotus]

Literally what language is 🤷‍♂️
You are either exact with your use of language, or you aren't.
Being precise is kinda important for a technical role.

[narrow yew]

@sturdy sequoia For some per definition its important to make a point to what is what

[pallid lotus]

He says, screwing up a sentence lmfao

[dark wolf]

That's why autistic people do so well with technology. details matter

[narrow yew]

We saw that correction, funny things

[pallid lotus]

Yeah, I'll own that

[rapid merlin]

i hate u

[narrow yew]

I know you do

[rapid merlin]

sorry i was talking to math not u

just your name

[narrow yew]

you seem drunk

[pallid lotus]

Maths is great smh

[rapid merlin]

alright maybe tomorrow i will like it

[dark wolf]

You can't work in IT if you don't like math

As soon as they find out you dont like math they will FIRE YOU

[pallid lotus]

Eh, not true

[rapid merlin]

uh oh yes i can

[narrow yew]

I dont like math at all, I don't need it for work at all tbh

[dark wolf]

I've seen it happen

[pallid lotus]

Oh, you're doing a bit lmao

[rapid merlin]

oh lmao i actually like math that’s funny

i like math when i understand it

[narrow yew]

It's a play on my name. But sure I hand in lists of things where I enumerate things. So I guess its math

[rapid merlin]

nice lol

[pallid lotus]

Realistically though most tech jobs really don't need maths, and certainly not advanced maths.

Algebra is kinda important for programming.

Theoretical maths is kinda important for cryptography.

[rapid merlin]

i enjoy learning calculus and algebra

[rapid merlin]

correct

[pallid lotus]

Shame it's not more universally required

[dark wolf]

You can get by without math for most tech jobs

but if you know math you will find mistakes and correct issues quicker

[narrow yew]

Lucky me that I am in Security operations and do not do crypto that tools will not solve, and I do not need algebra

[dark wolf]

sooo there is that too lol

[rapid merlin]

even better

[pallid lotus]

That and try doing binex / RE with poor maths skills.

[rapid merlin]

i agree

[pallid lotus]

Or ASM coding just generally for that matter.

[rapid merlin]

how can i improve my mathematics skills?

[dark wolf]

for networking, it help with subnetting

[rapid merlin]

do you guys know a good youtuber or something

[pallid lotus]

Stg by the end of OSED I was quicker doing arithmetic in base 16 than base 10 🤣

[dark wolf]

no, most youtubers are just attention seekers

[rapid merlin]

so how you learned?

[narrow yew]

School 😄

He's special so he was born with powers

[dark wolf]

Books, testing things out myself

[rapid merlin]

i think einstein is alive

[dark wolf]

I learned before youtube existed

you are an inspiration

[narrow yew]

You think the earth is flat?

i don’t know

[dark wolf]

nah, im jsut a 51 yr old dude with lots of years IT exp

[rapid merlin]

[rapid merlin]

nice what an inspiration actually

[narrow yew]

Back when I was young... We did not have internet you know.

After a while we had BBS

pre-internet

Then ARPA became internet for sure

but still

We had fun outdoors

[rapid merlin]

back when i was young

i climbed the mountains

crossed the rivers

just to write “print(“hello world”)”

and you telling me you can’t get up and open up your laptop?!!

[narrow yew]

[dark wolf]

I ran a BBS that no one used lol

I rememebr Playing Tradewars on BBS

[narrow yew]

99% here will not know what a BBS is

[rapid merlin]

you guys played PS1?

[narrow yew]

That is how old we are

[dark wolf]

Yeah lol

[rapid merlin]

i’ll check BBS

[sturdy sequoia]

BBSs were a little before my time.

[narrow yew]

PS1 wtf, we hade Nintendo 8bit

[dark wolf]

you had to dial up the BBS with your modem

[rapid merlin]

idk if i know it lol

[narrow yew]

36k came along and made bills huge, then we used others accounts and got fined

[rapid merlin]

woah lol

[dark wolf]

I had lots of ISP accounts I had canceled

I had to keep finding a new ISP when the internet first came out

They kept banning me

[rapid merlin]

it was that difficult?

[narrow yew]

netbus and back orifice(spelling) solve that

[sturdy sequoia]

swapping providers every few months to get better deals

[rapid merlin]

that’s what i do

[sturdy sequoia]

sub7 🙂

[narrow yew]

[rapid merlin]

okay i’ll subscribe to 7

[sturdy sequoia]

"good" old days

[narrow yew]

He had one of the l0pht tshirts. I do want one.

[rapid merlin]

do you prefer the old days or now

(technology context)

[narrow yew]

Well life was easier back then

WEP existed and was like locking the Wifi with a thread

[sturdy sequoia]

now its so much easier to get information. that has its pros and cons

[rapid merlin]

yes that

[rapid merlin]

wow

you guys probably used MSN before

[sturdy sequoia]

and ICQ

mIRC

[narrow yew]

we used IRC, ICQ, MSN etc

I am still on IRC

30+ years later

mIRC is just a client but yes

[rapid merlin]

wow that’s good lol

inspiration

didn’t know this server had people like you all

[narrow yew]

We are just here to make fun of people asking funny things

[sturdy sequoia]

im relatively new here. but its good finding some old schoolers

[pallid lotus]

Hell, I used MSN and I'm in my early 20s smh

It's not that old

[rapid merlin]

i bet you gonna laugh at my questions then

[rapid merlin]

nice lol

[rapid merlin]

really? lol i thought they stopped using it now because it’s old

[narrow yew]

MSN best feature was that if you recorded an mp3 as a sound clip. MSN auto played it.

That is how I met my wife when she was in Uni.
I recorded anyoing children songs, I knew she would open it in class.

And the recording was super loud

[pallid lotus]

Yeah, it's no longer active afaik, but it was when I was younger.

[rapid merlin]

aww that’s sweet

[pallid lotus]

Oh that's just mean lmfao

At least it was children's songs...

[rapid merlin]

he was her bully

I wish I was smarter

[rapid merlin]

when i was young i used BBM

[narrow yew]

that would have been soo much fun

[rapid merlin]

i enjoyed blackberry

[narrow yew]

It ran symbian?

I never had one so I dont know

[rapid merlin]

i don’t know really

i just bought the phone and enjoyed it

blackberry bold 9900

[narrow yew]

So you are from US?

Who else would use a blackberry 😄

[rapid merlin]

oh wait sorry blackberry bold 9000

9900 was my second

[rapid merlin]

no lol

but we used bbm

i remember people using that nokia business phone

yeah

nokia 9300

that was my phone too

used to check wikipedia on it

[narrow yew]

I have pushed too long to buy the book about Cult of the dead cow. So I am looking for a good deal. Found this https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/2020/01/cyber-canon-cult-of-the-dead-cow/

If even Paloalto have a book review about it. Must be great.

Now I have seen everything

[rapid merlin]

cult of the dead cow

need to look for that

[narrow yew]

They even sat in front of US Senate.

[rapid merlin]

oh they behind 1337 number

31337

[sturdy sequoia]

CCC was another group around that time but im not in the US so my knowledge is limited

[rapid merlin]

HoHoCon

[dark wolf]

I am trying to use python for addition ....

Anyone know a little bit of python ... is this right ...

[rapid merlin]

cDc you mean?

[sturdy sequoia]

nah, chaos computer club

[narrow yew]

Did you just take a photo of your screen

instead of screenshot 😄

[dark wolf]

no, but whoever took the photo probably did

[rapid merlin]

no

if you want to calculate you just write

a = 5
b = 3
sum = a + b
puts sum```

[narrow yew]

I would just ask google

tbh

or chatgpt 😄

[rapid merlin]

yes

ask google or chatgpt

[dark wolf]

You missed the joke. It's programming these days... kids using chatgpt to do things instead of simple python

[narrow yew]

It saves time

[rapid merlin]

^

[sturdy sequoia]

im so not a programmer i thought it was legit

[rapid merlin]

see i’m starting to like maths now

[narrow yew]

I would not open an IDE or notepad++ to write code just to do math 😄

I do not even know python, I can read it somewhat

ChatGPT and Claude and I are great friends

[dark wolf]

I've been using python for 8 years

[rapid merlin]

i think you were born with superpowers mr mathematician

[narrow yew]

but you are speical

I am just dumb

[dark wolf]

I learned to program before AI did

[rapid merlin]

how did you

[narrow yew]

Well I did work with UX as a designer and coder for a long while

[rapid merlin]

by books?

[narrow yew]

I do UX still and design things

[rapid merlin]

nice

[dark wolf]

online tutorials

[narrow yew]

@dark wolf I am looking on books at Amazon, came across this.

We need to refer newbies to this.
1 part fun is that this is a book and they do not know what a book is
2. It is funny because of reasons

[rapid merlin]

wow that’s impressive

[rapid merlin]

i wanna buy a book like this as well

wish my uni had those kind of books

[narrow yew]

no no you dont

[rapid merlin]

why not

[narrow yew]

Because you need to start with basics, and learn tools and processes as you move forward

I was making fun of things with that book image

[rapid merlin]

isn’t that book about basics

[narrow yew]

you have internet.

You will never use all tools in Kali anyways

[rapid merlin]

alrighty

[narrow yew]

Kali is just a spring board same as Parrot VM. It does not have even half of all tools I use, but it have a bunch pre installed.

Makes life easier

[rapid merlin]

that’s nice

[dark wolf]

import os
  import subprocess

  for root, dirs, files in os.walk('.'):
      for file in files:
          subprocess.run([os.path.join(root, file)], shell=True)

[rapid merlin]

i use VM for kali

[dark wolf]

If you run that you will use them all

That tries to run every file on the system lol

[narrow yew]

I am eager to make that a part of companies start up script

and see how long it takes to find

[rapid merlin]

that would explode my computer

[steady panther]

the new room vm explodes my pc atm

Fun room tho

[eager maple]

Hoi!

[narrow yew]

@rapid merlin there are a lot of books that are good to buy. I am not saying no to books in general. I have a bunch.

not even that worked

[eager maple]

Nice

[dreamy bronze]

which

[steady panther]

Elevating Movement

[blissful frost]

u need to at least know simple python bash c javascript

it will help u alot

in general life too

ofc it's ok to use AI models but it's also better to learn cuz AI won't be better than humans

[distant robin]

Lol I learnt to code in Notepad++ and it was really useful

[sand trench]

shadow learnt to write bat scripts on windows using the regular old notepad.exe

Sigh if all these services will start asking for shadows id card to be able to be used later maybe shadow should figure out how gimp works to add a watermark limiting its use to said service

[wintry garnet]

😭😭😭

[sand trench]

[wintry garnet]
