Does anyone know how I can get ahold of the people at TryHackMe to see about a partnership with my Cybersecurity/Tech discord community ?

rose tusk

its solid and easy to set up. the annoying part its email newsletters where you need to sign up with mailgun

#

but I really like the subscription and how it works seamless with subscriptions and payments

#

No worries, anymore info on it you can give me? Maybe something more detailed?

rose tusk
#

their github and help pages are pretty solid if you want technical details

rose tusk
#

I'm just a regular user haven't changed much to the underlying themes

#

it literally takes 5 minutes to set up on bare bones

Im more so looking for exploitation, but anything helps

If you get hired from a cert here and they find out you didnt pay for a sub, they will make you work for free since you wanted to learn for free

#

stupid companies

blazing granite
#

There is a way, it's called money 🀣

dark wolf
#

ahh

#

i see lol

#

There's still a lot of free rooms in thm. I don't have a sub

Nothing in life is free

#

ME??

#

no

#

things cost money man

#

For instance, the highly sought after certifications in the field are expensive

blazing granite
#

if you want something that cost money and you don't have a job, the first step is get a job not asking things for free. Also there is a lot of free resources for people that can't or don't want to pay, so why you should get pay resources that take time, effort and are the livelihood of people just for free.

College, the best colleges are EXPENSIVE

#

I've heard stories all the time about immigrants coming to the US poor as can be and making a big business and succeeding against all odds

#

Why such hostility

new person comes in, asks if there are ever any giveaways, chat goes crazy

if you post here, I can comment, don't like the answer that's your problem

oblique loom
#

You dont need moeny to hack, maybe for equipment n such, but to hack hack? No...

dark wolf
#

Once the staff see your humble request for a few free months to better yourself, they will surely be moved by your polite and caring demeanor. I'm certain they will want to help you out as much as possible.

quick blaze

And you seem to think you score high in both of those.

oblique loom

#

But I have heard stories about it

2021 - 2023

quick blaze
#

Word of advice, when you join a 'professional community', people are bound to share opinions, while they may not reflect your own, you are expected to understand and steer clear of anything that discomforts you, rather than retorting with hostility.

oblique loom
#

Unless you are being threatened, then by all means open the flood gates

dark wolf

Damn HTB more rude ... He asked HTB how to verify and everyone is ignoring him

HTB sucks.. Why? Their US servers are so so slow

This isn't a professional community

I'll be honest, not a huge fan of jitsi, but at least it's more bearable than Teams.

Out of interest, what's the largest amount of people you've had on a jitsi call?

In my experience once you hit about 15 jitsi can start throwing a bit of a wobbly

Yeah that's fair, we use both but generally for different things as long as theyre both working as intended, otherwise we usually end up on teams as a fallback

I'm reading the windows internals book currently and I just realised why windows eats more ram when I upgrade the memory

finite basalt

#

The one released by microsoft, it's Windows Internals Part 1 (System architecture, processes, threads, memory management and more), 7th edition

blazing granite
finite basalt
#

I didn't realise that they stuck with the same method of memory management as in 32 bit but just increased the address space to allow a greater theoretical maximum. So if you have 64gb, 32gb is assigned by windows to OS protected memory and 32gb is used for processes. It doesn't seem to be strictly true but it seems to be that way when you're not running memory intensive processes (mind you I'm still reading through the memory section)

# finite basalt Since performance has increased, optimisation appears to have decreased

The exception to that rule is GPU and CPU manufacturers who will pay to have their optimised instructions used, not for the betterment of user experience but purely to make them look like they perform better (which they in software that uses the proprietary instructions). Software manufacturers don't optimise unless a hardware provider pays them to do it

A shedload of it was on billing and my honest reaction was just "πŸ˜‘" as someone who doesn't deal with billing

I'm also doing a few courses in AI and playing with LLMs AI is here to stay you can't deny. The way I see it, the major revolution in tech was the internet, nowadays is AI, also I see the same pattern all these AI companies looks a lot like the .com bubble 🀣

# blazing granite I'm also doing a few courses in AI and playing with LLMs AI is here to stay you ...

Fair enough, for the most part I still steer clear, I'd spend more time redacting stuff to use LLMs and am excellent at googling things. I also still feel that if we're going to use AI it needs to be trained specifically for the task it's being used for and that ideally we wouldn't use LLMs but figure out a form of AI that is more than just a sentient chat bot and could provide better functionality

blazing granite
finite basalt
#

Like I think some of the co-pilot stuff has promise but the fact it's still remote hosted and an LLM is offputting to me, I need to know my data is safe and that the software isn't just trying to talk to me rather than give me a correct answer]

I deployed nextjs stuff on AWS so I've no experience with vercel 🀣

# blazing granite I do only local LLM

Yeah that's fair, I could, I just don't bother, my google-fu is down to a fine art now so I feel like I'd waste more time waiting on outputs to generate and then trying to correct it than if I use google and decide which answer fits best and tweak it accordingly

I installed ollama models on my computer and use a web interface docker to make it nicer, if you need to upload docs terminal is not the best place

I've played with ollama and it is quite cool, it's just that I could wait 5-10 seconds on code generation or I could get a google result in 0.5 seconds

#

My favourite use for AI is if I'm struggling to find things online about a subject, I can say to AI, "give me a list of ISBNs and book names relating to this"

#

I don't bother with sites (with ai that can't access the internet) because they may be out of date, ISBNs are generally a safe option, but if they can access the web, I will ask for URLs as well and it can be handy for finding resources. I used it in second year uni digital forensics module to find some niche information about the JPEG standard, it was in the documentation but it was quite obscure to find so it was quite beneficial

Yeah it's definitely the way to do it if you're gonna use LLMs imo

#

My title may be dev-ops engineer but I think software engineer, jack of all trades is more apt

#

because I don't work as much on cloud infra at the moment, I do a blend of software dev and security oriented around the software

#

we don't use any cloud whatsoever πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

#

well i do personally, and for my consulting, but not my day job

finite basalt
#

We use a both cloud and on-site

#

some things we can have on cloud, some things absolutely not

for network thing cloude works really good and seems to have a great integration with cisco

finite basalt
#

From a networking perspective, when I worked on AWS I fucking hated it

molten sky
#

i love the flexibility of aws but it's far from simple

finite basalt
#

It was software I'd written to run on an EC2 and it was only allowed to be accessible via zerotier and our network

molten sky
#

literally the only thing i can't do on aws is cname flattening on the apex, which cloudflare can (but that's likely because it's out of spec)

finite basalt
#

Our network was internet accessible but with all our traffic routed through proxies, so there were a fixed set of IPs I had to lock it down to and my team had been trying to get those IPs for 2/3 years before I got hold of them and could set them correctly for the project

molten sky
#

..why were you trying to get specific ip addresses for 3 years?

#

or i guess you cold mean just any fixed ip

finite basalt
#

We actually curated our own list but it wasn't complete, one day when I couldn't access my platform, I saw a new IP and thought fuck this, went onto the outlook directory to look for the guys that managed the infra for that network. Found someone high in the team and dropped them an email

molten sky
#

finite basalt
blazing granite
#

this monday wasn't a great day for aws 🀣

molten sky
molten sky
finite basalt
#

and unfortunately we didn't manage it so when accessing the internet we could appear as any of the IP addresses depending on what the proxy routed us through

molten sky
#

lmao, rip

#

i follow what you were tryna do now

finite basalt
#

not sure how they set it up on their end, just that our internet traffic went through the proxy and on the other side you could end up with traffic under any one of a range of IPs

#

so trying to restrict EC2 access to that was a nightmare, we asked several times and got told by various people, no.

molten sky
#

ngl, ipam in general is such a PITA

finite basalt
#

I just happened to find someone senior, said, "anyone know this dude" and wrote an email. They put me onto their line manager who said, I won't email the list but I'll give you a ring and tell you them facepalm

blazing granite
#

that's what you get when you lay off people and trust in automatization without a human on the look just in case 🀣

molten sky
finite basalt
#

So they wouldn't email it internally using the encrypted outlook emails but over the phone. Well all I'll say is, I got the list over the phone and emailed it to my line manager 🀣

finite basalt
molten sky
#

not always a DLP concern

#

sometimes there's other internal considerations as well

#

hell, could be as simple as attribution without being 100% sure

finite basalt
#

I mean, we'd been badgering the senior leadership about getting these IPs and they said we should have them, we were allowed to have them and emailing it was no issue, it was just finding someone who knew it and would actually tell us

#

But yeah, nightmare when trying to restrict EC2s to an on-site network structured like that

molten sky
#

Oh yeah no in this case it's weird, but I get the playing it safe part if the guy didn't know for sure

finite basalt
#

It wasn't a random guy either technically, they were the manager of one of the heads of infrastructure so it made no sense 🀣

I don't think I even care about the generation it's a combination of not liking children, growing up around people younger than me because of my younger brothers (not that I hate them because they're younger, they're the exception) and then also a bit of not particularly liking people because most of them aren't adults even when they legally are 🀣
