it might be a problem to them cause that's messing with a whole company which won't end good

[dark wolf]

Yes, they get caught frequently by the FBI

Not just hackers, people steal CC's and make fake one's using real numbers

[candid kayak]

SCAMMERS!!!!!!

i hate them

[dark wolf]

Best defense is to keep a close eye on your accounts

[candid kayak]

people should hack the hell out of them

i meant to scammers

[sly zealot]

hey guys! Just thought about this, I want a tiny, stealthy device that fits behind the target's router's ethernet port and creates an access point to the real network. It must be plug-and-play. Is it possible to make?

[boreal scarab]

Subway you say?

https://tenor.com/view/batman-thinking-gif-18107621495886085895

[sly zealot]

since the device is connected via LAN it has an access without password, and then I can use that device to host an access point to the router and I can get access to it's network without cracking any password?

[mossy river]

Is it possible? Yes - restricting the discussion to our advanced channels because you only have 15 messages and are unverified.

Hey guys, I ve had a lot of trouble doing dual boots in my laptop, now I want to try a full boot instead, but I am afraid it won't work since dual booting isn't working. Does anyone have any recommendation?

[sand trench]

linux mint should work on most hardware with minimal problems

[floral ice]

Lots of ppl are at work and stuff

[icy walrus]

I tried dual boot with mint but didn't work, u suggest that i should try full boot linux mint?

[dark wolf]

uh-huh ... and in 6 hours it's gonna be .. they are sleeeping and 6 hours from that, they are busy

[floral ice]

HahahahahLol true

[sand trench]

yeah...

[graceful yew]

when did thm change its ui?
I came back after a long while and it felt so weird. I thought thm was down or just a browser error.

[sand trench]

for dual boot to work you need to mess with windows install first and linux install second and also having to deal with tpm and bitlocker and secure boot... all of which you can skip if you install only linux mint.... maybe you need to deactivate secure boot for the install but should be possible to reenable it after

[dark wolf]

a month or so ago

easier to get a pi than to dual boot lol

[icy walrus]

Yeah i first tried with kali, then ubuntu and lastly mint, none of them worked. I deactivated the secure boot but never heard of tpm and bitlocker. My goal is to have kali, I guess that if I install mint then I can easily install some of the kali tools right?

Does anyone here do Networks security much? I've slowly realised I'm basically the only person in my University who's got a knack for it 😭

[dark wolf]

I've done some network security

How you doin Frank?

[glacial cove]

That's my new name now 😂

[dark wolf]

yup lol

[stoic olive]

Can anyone help me

[dark wolf]

I need a crystal ball or you need to ask a question 🙂

[glacial cove]

Nice, what kinda things? Small overview?

[stoic olive]

Vulnerability capstone

[dark wolf]

Firewalls and load balancers

[stoic olive]

How can I know the port for netcat

[glacial cove]

Any fun stuff with protocols and whatnot?

Wacky BGP and GRE exploits for example

[dark wolf]

oh, no, I haven't looked much at it in terms of exploits rather in terms of standard practices and secure networks from a configuration standpoint

or patching netscalers every other week lol

[glacial cove]

Eh? Netcat is a program you provide a port for, I'm not sure how you'd be able to find a port for it?

[dark wolf]

You'll need to provide more information on what exact room you are doing

Try using #room-help , it gets lost in here

[stoic olive]

Ii used many ports

But didn't work

[dark wolf]

nc is a client server relationship and you can run it as either a client or server

you can use it as a client and connect to any service as well

so without context, the specific room, and task

and without showing what you are trying to do and what isn't working, ... well we need more info 🙂

[glacial cove]

I see, I know one or two people who are in the same boat and know security architecture as a consequence of getting into homelabbing

Never seen anyone who nerds out about protocols and network exploits though 😭 and since us homelabbers are few, the rest of the cohort is even less of a fan of networks

[muted storm]

i love busybox

[grizzled sky]

https://cybernews.com/security/russian-hackers-abuse-microsoft-hyperv-to-run-linux/

Spreading linux whether they know it or not XD;

[glacial cove]

Well, what does running shell_me do on the CVE exploit you have?

[mossy river]

Sure

[glacial cove]

Yooooooo lets go, I love me some hypervisor-based exploits

[stoic olive]

Yes I have

[rapid merlin]

what are simple challenges for like beginner

[stoic olive]

My problem with port number

[glacial cove]

I'm fairly sure that I've seen an exploit of the exact same sort months ago though

[glacial cove]

Yes, what's the output?

[stoic olive]

No out put

In net cat

[glacial cove]

In the exploit window

Ah yes, I can see you set an IP and port

[dark wolf]

Juice Shop

Thats a fun one

[stoic olive]

I understand you now
Your listener is ready

[glacial cove]

You set up a netcat listener on your machine via nc -nvlp your-port-number first, then give the exploit your port + ip

Same port you're listening for

Then the exploit should, if everything's correct, make the machine give your listener a reverse shell session on the victim machine, and you're in

[stoic olive]

Ok how I can

[muted storm]

also run python -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/bash")' when you're in

[glacial cove]

That command first in one terminal, with a number like 4444

then do shell_me, and point it to your IP + your listeners port (eg 4444 like above)

and then you check your netcat listener and see if it says connected

[stoic olive]

Oh, I put that but didn't connect so still listening on

[glacial cove]

Might be something wrong with the exploit, or your input. Check exploit CVE is the right version for victim machine + check if the exploit errors out after you type your info

[muted storm]

what script are you running wasn't acid's script written in ruby?

[glacial cove]

• see if it saying you typed details in wrong, like maybe you have to write 10.10.21.33 4444 instead of 10.10.21.33:4444

Also check your IP is correct

Same one that you have from tryhackme's openvpn, or use attack box

[stoic olive]

I use ready file in machine but I didn't do any updates upon files

[glacial cove]

Other than all the above, I'm out of ideas 😅

[stoic olive]

Thank you maybe wrong with machine?

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @glacial cove (current: #1107 - 5)

[stoic olive]

I have applied all instructions correctly but didn't work as well

[rapid merlin]

Remove the http after exploit

[stoic olive]

How

[rapid merlin]

Python3 exploit.py then write ur ip

Without adding http

[stoic olive]

Ok

I will

[rapid merlin]

Keep nc running to capture the shell

Use same port numbers

[stoic olive]

Oh 😂

[eternal bronze]

So random question are there any industry superstitions? Like for example the company in Taiwan that puts the Kuai Kuai on all their servers.

[dark wolf]

JUICE SHOP!!

https://tryhackme.com/room/owaspjuiceshop

[echo sentinel]

Those marked easy?

[rapid merlin]

It's already on a path

[stoic olive]

Hey I found the problem
It's at http
I should remove http
That's command
Python3 file name IP address without 'http'

[rapid merlin]

Let him follow a path

[dark wolf]

Yea, so? he want easy ctf

its like the first one they ahve ya do

but it would be better to do the path first

[rapid merlin]

Y break the cycle

[dark wolf]

hackers break stuff

[loud marlin]

yea. when doing revshell and so no http/https or so

pure command

[rapid merlin]

[stoic olive]

Hey when I finished the path learning, will I can do challenges at try hack me

[rapid merlin]

Ya after jr pentester

U should start doing some

It'll be fun

[loud marlin]

@stoic olive alos if ypu do not know for 0day site
https://www.revshells.com/

it can shone some light in revshell and so

[stoic olive]

Why I feel after finished walkthrough as I don't know anything

[loud marlin]

do you taking notes all the way ?

also when you learn smth, redo that in other rooms. just for fun and for learning curve

there is no reason why try to do smth in any room you do or so

[stoic olive]

Do you mean take notes on notebook

[rapid merlin]

Or any app

[bright sparrow]

Hi everyone!

[loud marlin]

in some note taking app. like obsidian and so

[rapid merlin]

[stoic olive]

How can I know the room challenges for me I can do it

I need challenges for my levels

That's means

[loud marlin]

no one here know what to do when starting

[stoic olive]

Also I review my rooms that I finished

[loud marlin]

i also started with minimal knowledge of cyber. i just know linux at that time

[loud marlin]

also good stuff...

[stoic olive]

Sometimes i scare from the tests

Of pt1

[loud marlin]

this is how my notes looks like. make notes priority and things will be clear fast

[loud marlin]

thm machines are full ok to do stuff.

[stoic olive]

What's the labs

App I mean

[loud marlin]

the first folder 020 ?

oh

obsidian

[boreal scarab]

@sand trench https://open.spotify.com/track/3gCPVl9SHTQmDpIda7y7Cp

Oh wait

[stoic olive]

So it's important to take notes about codes and syntax

[boreal scarab]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmrELSyomZo

[loud marlin]

you take notes as best you can remember them to remind you

[stoic olive]

And write it my language

[loud marlin]

yes

in time, the commands will be in you hands without need to cehck notes

and then you start build own scripts

to automate things

[stoic olive]

So the route still long

[loud marlin]

depend of you pre knowledge... cyber is constant learnning

[stoic olive]

I know how codes work although I forget some things

[loud marlin]

same was for all of and most ppl. now i have them in hands without need to look. i do look from time to time but yea

[stoic olive]

My basic is good but I need more

[loud marlin]

more the basic you know, later when deal with advanced stuff will fall faster in knowledge

[stoic olive]

I must go to the company to training and develop my skills

[loud marlin]

if you have decent pc or so, you can build you own pentest home lab

virtual machines is great

[stoic olive]

I have completed of jr pentesting but I need to review

[stoic olive]

I fear do illegal something

[loud marlin]

if smth sounds illegal and you have that "scared" felling, then do not do. also you can ask ppl here... you can do stuff on you own devices/machines and so. outside that is no no

try things on thm machines is ok. but you can't use thm machine to go outside them on live internet

[dark wolf]

Only practice on websites that have the challenges for you to do so

[loud marlin]

i hack my own wifi all the time. 🙂

[dark wolf]

your other option is downloading vms or creating them and installing vulns

then use another vm to hack it

and just avoid scanning or doing anything to public IP

[stoic olive]

Yes but I want more task to up my skills

[stoic olive]

👁️

[loud marlin]

first, learn the basic tasks.

[dark wolf]

Premium version on here provide many room and there are other site too for ctf

yes this site good for beginner basic

and build on top

[loud marlin]

i buy some crap/chear routed for my self to test things.

if that router can talk... oh boy...

[loud marlin]

i brutforced hy admin login so hard that he have nightmare

[stoic olive]

ctf have many task for beginner

[dark wolf]

yes

[loud marlin]

when you learn one thing in one room, then try do same thing in next room that you finish. and so on

[dark wolf]

hard ctf have only 2 question, no help

beginner ctf have more question more hand hold

[loud marlin]

and some THM room/ctf have easter eggs in them

just need to do things

[dark wolf]

I was in a room once that had an easter egg that wiped my system

fun!!

[loud marlin]

wft... that is not on thm for sure. or was the room it self

[dark wolf]

Neither. It was a lie. I'm a hacker. I don't tell the truth.

lol

[stoic olive]

i found it

[loud marlin]

lol... fair

[rapid merlin]

Who

[severe tundra]

I would love to give details of the experience if this is the place to do it but don't want to flood anything off topic in the middle of your conversations.

[eternal bronze]

I am just waiting for the day I learn enough to be able to mess with my Dad and all his smart home gadgets lol

[grizzled sky]

grex, though i am always open do dms badboi;

[grizzled sky]

not that hard if you really want to tbh;

[severe tundra]

I cannot hack, I can build computers and what have you but I am not on a level of breaking things intentionally at all

[rapid merlin]

U don't have to ask permission

[grizzled sky]

that's hacking;

hacking isn't inherently distructive;

hacking is making computers do what you want;

or any tech;

that can be constructive too;

building a pc is a form of hardware hacking cause by definition its a custom build;

[severe tundra]

Essentially I have a family member who called a "help number" she gave them access they downloaded a VPN and removed all of her wifi/Bluetooth/Ethernet drivers

[grizzled sky]

one of the most annoying parts of hacker culture is people have been convinced hacking is inherently about blackhat stuff;

that's actually only a very small subset and many blackhats don't actually hack;

[severe tundra]

They downloaded a bunch of files name Driver 1 Driver 2 ect all the way to Driver 6.

[grizzled sky]

like script kiddies are usually not hackers;

[severe tundra]

And "Eyelot"

[severe tundra]

That's good to know I'll change the way I view hacking for future conversations and future research purposes.

I can certainly see the difference and had never given the title or word much thought.

[grizzled sky]

wait so how would that work;

did they set up a virus that can run offline after deleting the wifi drivers?;

unless the wifi driver deleting was last i guess;

or if the devices all are lan or something through a router;

[severe tundra]

I'm not entirely sure, I get my hands on the laptop on Sunday, I'm assuming they disabled the drivers but installed an access point through a VPN? Unsure, they also gained access to her phone.. they logged out of her phone critical programs baking apps which makes me think they may have a keylogger installed there.

But as a hardware guy they shouldn't have access to a VPN without the wifi adapters working.

[grizzled sky]

i mean if it were mean, remove the power from all of it;

and then do forensics on it later with a professional forensic investigator;

anything that advanced you want professionals cause that's an advanced threat actor;

[severe tundra]

That's what I had her do, I had her do a factory reset on her phone. I am getting access to the laptop on Sunday and it has no access to my home network

[loud marlin]

just reinstall os on that device

[grizzled sky]

no not a reset, that destroys evidence;

[severe tundra]

It is also entirely possible that she did something to disable all of her Internet drivers

[severe tundra]

That's my plan

[grizzled sky]

depends on if you want to identify the threat actor though;

[severe tundra]

I have a phone number and a business name

[grizzled sky]

imo though i would, likely this would happen again;

[severe tundra]

But that's it

Both easily spoofed

[loud marlin]

if you do not wish deal with things. just reinstall

[grizzled sky]

also do an audit on the network;

see if any physical devices are there;

[severe tundra]

I will definitely look into how to do that lol

[grizzled sky]

its possible the phone thing was a distraction and they had physical access;

[loud marlin]

or also you can factory reset router and so things

[severe tundra]

Like I said I'm tech savvy on the hardware side. Still learning everything else

[grizzled sky]

the reason i'd be hesitant in this case is its unclear the motive;

[loud marlin]

fair yea

[severe tundra]

The motive was 100% to gain access to financials. They had her scan a $500 check to them and then saw a monitoring device of her Bitcoin that was near 30k usd

[loud marlin]

dear lord

[grizzled sky]

the biggest advice i'd give is don't be afraid to look for a professional;

[boreal scarab]

[severe tundra]

Yeah, we are in a Rural area. Not a lot of professional technical help here.

[grizzled sky]

at that threat level you would want to consider connecting with nsa or fbi;

thats a fairly serious threat actor just based on description;

[severe tundra]

Yes, I am gathering all of the info for the FBI

[loud marlin]

you can turn on wireshark and let the log all the things. but wireshark can do big size logs. and if you do not know what you look it will be hard to find

[boreal scarab]

[zealous socket]

Hey guys

[visual root]

Ello

[zealous socket]

[severe tundra]

Is there an effective way to store or log all of the information that is currently on her PC onto an external drive so that I can preserve the evidence while getting her device back to functional?

[grizzled sky]

yes but thats something you want a forensics expert to do;

its very easy to mess up and it can have legal implications if done by a novice;

[visual root]

Correct me if I'm wrong but revo uninstaller pro offers a service like that

[grizzled sky]

like they could accuse you in court of falsifying evidence;

that's also why i was saying you want to preserve evidence by powering off the devices atm;

[severe tundra]

Yeah they are all powered off (as far as I know)

[eager spear]

Pls 🥺🙏
Can anyone mentor me in ethical hacking
Am a total beginner with no hacking experience
You don't need to be teaching me, just lead me through the roadmap and resources with some little advice and support
I'll appreciate a lot 🙏

[grizzled sky]

then yeah get a safety deposit box and store them until fbi can pick them up if possible;

[grizzled sky]

#start-here

[visual root]

Could someone fill me in on what's happening? I just got here lol

[grizzled sky]

someone apparently is trying to steal 30k of crypto from some lady;

and they are doing shit like deleteing wifi drivers;

hence they seem like an advanced threat actor imo and they should work with the fbi to preserve evidence imo;

[visual root]

That's insane

[severe tundra]

Yeah, it's my grandmother, she knows just enough to get herself in trouble.

[visual root]

😭

[visual root]

My grandma can't go two weeks without getting some strange virus no ones heard of lol

[severe tundra]

They tried to access her bank accounts through the check she so willingly scanned to them but that got shut down at least.

[slate mason]

insane, im here since my 13inch mcbp is telling me on brave browser how i amn on mobile? anyone else run into this issue? i seemingly checked the archives.... ?

[severe tundra]

I legitimately have team viewer only so I can login to her computer weekly and clean up

[visual root]

There should be a option in the sidebar to request desktop website

[boreal scarab]

[grizzled sky]

what is the browser's zoom?;

[visual root]

Smart. I wish there was something like that on iOS

[severe tundra]

Anyway, thank you guys for entertaining my issues. You are all too kind.

[grizzled sky]

rustdesk is a thing;

[blissful snow]

Hi

[visual root]

Tried it she kept deleting it

Smh

[severe tundra]

I will look into getting her laptop to the county forensics team to see if they can copy and clear it for us.

[grizzled sky]

i would also ask for a new wifi router and power off the old one;

both for security incase it has a backdoor but also so you can potentially give the router as evidence;

it also would ensure they have less access to your network if the ip is changed from new hardware;

[slate mason]

looking for the side bar, the zoom is 150%, just seems wierd since i was running a VM previously on this device

[blissful snow]

I'm at my dentist and they have sticky note with the user and password 😂, I'm not playing to do nothing but it's crazy that's it's there.

[grizzled sky]

zoom changes the size of the window, and the smaller the resolution of the window the smaller the device seems like to the browser;

do that in a vm with a small resolution inside a vm, and it will think its a phone;

at least by default, there are ways to force the desktop website on mobile and desktop;

[slate mason]

yeah wow it works now with different zoom, much appreciated

[grizzled sky]

depends on their threat actor;

in many situations, written down passwords are actually better for low tech offices;

the problem is more that you as a normal person could find it;

[slate mason]

wierd since the side bar i couldnt find the desktop client but whatever i guess

[blissful snow]

I'm not a normal person am I 😢

[grizzled sky]

normies are less fun and have worse pfps than your cute one;

[blissful snow]

Lol

[visual root]

Keep it for evidence but if it has a bridge mode enable that and route it through a second one. Not perfect but eliminates alot of potential vulnerabilities

[blissful snow]

I prob should say something about it

And btw it's multiple passwords, usernames and phone numbers

[grizzled sky]

definetely speak up, its good for their security to know and their management to be forced to review their security;

as long as you are saying it out of good will, the worst they could do is ask you not to return;

good samaritan law iirc;

not a lawyer not legal advice etc etc;

if its a larger org or company report it to their secure disclosure tip line;

if its a small business then ask for a manager and tell it to them, making it clear you are disclosing in good faith;

there's nuances depending on what country you are in of course, i know in usa + canada though usually good Samaritan applies to security disclosures done in good faith and as long as it is not public disclosure;

if you told the entire internet about the vulnerability though you'd be at risk of legal trouble of course;

[severe tundra]

At least it's just some "Dental office somewhere" in here

[grizzled sky]

yeah vague hypotheticals are generally ok;

its the same way you can do a report and then change the details to remove pii and still public that report with protection;

assuming there's no reasonable way to identify the victim the report was originally about;

[severe tundra]

Man there is SO much for me to learn here

[grizzled sky]

its sort of the same way if a rapper makes a song about some crime, generally speaking they'd be protected from it being used as evidence of a crime;

assuming the lyrics are vague enough;

[regal dawn]

What even is that THM-ID in the top right lol

discount code? 😂

or cert id

[grizzled sky]

cert id code iirc;

probably just to prevent fraud;

say if someone claimed they had the cert but the id was the same as a legitimate cert;

you would know they just photoshoped it;

[regal dawn]

yeah was suspecting something like that

good system

tho problem is my thm account is using my general pseudonym cashkhonshu so this wont be much help in job apps i guess

[severe tundra]

Well when I get home on my system I am logging into tryhackme.com and exploring the options there 100%

[grizzled sky]

yeah i used my irl name for anything education related usually;

but then again i am not trying to be a ghost or anything;

[severe tundra]

Are these certifications widely accepted?

[grizzled sky]

no;

these ones are more just for porfolio points;

or to share on linkedin;

in terms of a job interview anyone theoretically can copy and paste the answers;

[severe tundra]

In the Cyber security world I've found experience typically Trump's certificates but just curious

[grizzled sky]

the only ones that are officially recognized are the paid certs;

since those are proctored;

[regal dawn]

def do that, its peak

[severe tundra]

It's about time I use my PC for more than gaming lol

[grizzled sky]

it does have value for many employers though, some will cover the cost of continuing education like try hack me while on their payrole;

and it doesn't hurt to have it on linkedin if only to prove you have experience with the course material;

[regal dawn]

300€ for a cert is crazy tho

[severe tundra]

I don't mind spending the money if it helps me learn anyway. I gotta do something more productive after the kiddos go to bed anyway.

[grizzled sky]

depends on the cert;

[regal dawn]

true

ill prob only buy the red teaming one

[grizzled sky]

for sec + that's a bargain;

[regal dawn]

since its "the best" in pentesting roadmap

[grizzled sky]

you can increase you earning per year like 20k potentially compared to it help desk;

[severe tundra]

I was going to take my CompTiA+ but was told it's not worth it by some IT professionals idk if that's accurate or not.

[grizzled sky]

300 is a relatively small cost when the opportunity cost for your career is that high;

[grizzled sky]

its situational;

[regal dawn]

especially since ill be applying for Cyber Security Analyst / Pentester at the german military. So if i go down SOC and Red Teaming + buy certs ill prob make some good money

[grizzled sky]

in my area, most jobs require it to even be considered;

[regal dawn]

dang thats crazy

[grizzled sky]

and its a lot more important to have certs if you don't have at least a bachelors;

[severe tundra]

I currently work as a purchasing Manager for a Millwork and Prehung door company so I kinda am looking for a change of pace.

[grizzled sky]

in my case it acts as proof i have the equivalent education to a bachelors;

but again different circumstances impact its value;

[regal dawn]

Cybersecurity is definetly a really good choice. Especially with people starting to rely on AI security flaws increase

[grizzled sky]

plus i was able to get mine included in the cost of the bootcamp i did;

and the government paid me to take the bootcamp;

so in the end i got the cert and made a bit of money while doing it;

[severe tundra]

I almost did a bootcamp at the state college here. But we had a new born and it was just not the time. Things are a little more settled now.

[grizzled sky]

but i was on disability the whole time, it would have cost me if i wasn't on disability;

[severe tundra]

That's perfect timing then

[grizzled sky]

yeah every hardship an opportunity;

same way i used covid to train myself in it;

i already was an introvert so i already was studying online anyway;

you dont choose the cards you only choose how and when you play them;

[dark wolf]

[dark wolf]

That's like asking a brick wall a question though

Of course I did the same lol

[sturdy sequoia]

They responded last time

[dark wolf]

ahh yes ... "do you have any projects" "i can help you perfectly"

[dark wolf]

I usually do that

[loud marlin]

when ever i read AI smth smth my brain just goes 404

[dark wolf]

but that's not going to cut it for the Velo Orchestrator, will be quicker to do it

I should also learn how to use the API for it

bruh GTA 6 delayed again

[sand trench]

welp got through the first 200 xkcd:s again :D

[dark wolf]

GTA6 was announced before Donut was born

[sturdy sequoia]

is GTA still big/popular these days?

[celest dirge]

Bro, I swear they are gonna keep delaying it until 2030 or somethin

[stoic quarry]

Yeah lol

They still make bank off of online

[sturdy sequoia]

i thought all the kids were still playing military shooters or battle royales

then again, EA sports games are still being made each year, so maybe im a little out of touch

[narrow yew]

Why

[sand trench]

mostly to see which ones can be fun wallpapers and also nostalgia

[narrow yew]

I think I am short of some information here

[dark wolf]

I started doing lots of cheats in GTA V and having fun, mostly offline. When online I just killed people randomly on my MKII

but now they have more strignet cheat systems and you have to install risky stuff to bypass

But people have cheated in that since day one, that's why it was never some competitive game

[sturdy sequoia]

Are people shitty in voice chat? Slurs, insults, etc.

[dark wolf]

I never did voice chat in gta v

thats like trying to do voice chat in wallstreetbets

lol

or if 4chan had it

i stay away from that toxicity

[sturdy sequoia]

Haha that's exactly what I imagine it to be like

Pre teens yelling out the n word.

[dark wolf]

and every cuss word

but they do that in chat in game and a lot of times the chat in game is in spanish

[sturdy sequoia]

Haha it seems like that stereotypical gamer type will never die

[dark wolf]

It won't

the younger kids take over and try to outdo the previous

[narrow yew]

Dident fortnite ban a whole bunch of players this spring because of bad behaviour in voice.

It was retroactive too

So it was from recorded voice

Or maybe it was CS

Some big game

[sturdy sequoia]

Oh. That sounds both really good and really bad

[narrow yew]

I need to play more fortnite

I pay for it every month but my kiddo stopped playing

[dark wolf]

I only did fortnite for a couple months

[narrow yew]

I did play non build alot, I was quite good also

[dark wolf]

it sucks, i miss quake ii and doom .. you know, just killing,

no messing with walls or buildnig towers

[narrow yew]

Q2 with hook

[dark wolf]

nah... MASS KILLING

DEATHMATCH!!!

[sturdy sequoia]

yer classic style death matches were fun

[narrow yew]

build mode sucks

[dark wolf]

respawn instantly

nothing but kill kill kill

my friend had all the power ups timed so he could steal them all and get all the kills

[sturdy sequoia]

i think one of the new battlefields does that but im really not a fan of military style games

[dark wolf]

I remember when the first one came out

Battlefiled 1942

I played with my friend on a team but the team had 3 randos

and if they took a plane i wanted (my teammate) I blew it up

🤣

[narrow yew]

Nice of him

[dark wolf]

that was a good 20 years ago

[narrow yew]

I was quite high ranked in BF4

[dark wolf]

i didnt blow up my friend, just randos lol

[sturdy sequoia]

you guys ever go to many LAN parties?

[narrow yew]

When young, yes

[sturdy sequoia]

i miss them

[narrow yew]

Copypartyies

[dark wolf]

yeah , take my comptuer to my friends, get about 8 people there

[sturdy sequoia]

[dark wolf]

yeah, we're the pioneers of gaming

[sturdy sequoia]

i do not miss crt monitors though. those fuckers were so heavy for a skinny nerd teenager

[dark wolf]

yeah no kidding

wish i had pics of me in my 20's hauling that stuff out of my car up my friends driveway

[narrow yew]

We took them in shopping cart trolleys around the city

[dark wolf]

i have a pic of me at the zoo in 2002 lol

Hey guys,
Tbh. wasn't that big a headache really to get Ubuntu running on a laptop.
The more I research Linux as well, the more I'm questioning why I should stay with windows even on my gaming desktop 😛

Just wait... you'll see

[glacial heath]

Is it free ? It's ask me to log in

Let's regrow this place with fun

[narrow yew]

THM! week of CTFs where team with voice is a requirement

Doing it on work hours also

[dark wolf]

Nice

I would never do one during work hours myself lol

[narrow yew]

I am allowed too

I even get paid time off if we spend a day in some CTFs

Even if we don't score well it looks good if we take part

[dark wolf]

That's pretty sweet

So get Claude, Gemini and GPT to all tackle the CTF for you while you chat on Discord

[narrow yew]

I am having my MCP setup trying to do that

I don't think so, if you need something tag them

[gusty lark]

does anyone know the concequences of breaking the terms of service of a websites API, im trying to make a scrapping bot to refresh a webpage and send me a notification if something im interested in is posted, any tips?

[spare egret]

most sites have a robots.txt file within their webpage

at the end of the url add /robots.txt

it will show you which pages allow web scrapping and which dont

[severe tundra]

Thank you!

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @blazing granite (current: #55 - 196)

[blazing granite]

that's stipulated in the tos, but generally can be end of service, and/or a fine, even legal actions, depending on the tos and the severity of the transgression.

[gusty lark]

might keep my head out of it so

its litterally just for personal use though thats why i was wondering

[gusty lark]

but by the looks of it is only blocking bots from posting on the sight and not scrapping

[spare egret]

A robots.txt file does not list which pages can or can’t be “scraped” directly, but rather tells web crawlers (like Googlebot) which parts of a website they are allowed or disallowed to crawl.

I asked GPT and your right, ig i read wrong

Question, alongside the obvious cybersecurity aspect is THM useful for learning how to code?

[fervent cove]

w speed

devsecops yes

others prob not

[sturdy sequoia]

not really. im sure there are many other better ways to learn coding

[hazy flame]

Is it a good start?*

[dark wolf]

No, there aren't really coding lessons here

[hazy flame]

I do understand that, just phrased my question wrong

[dark wolf]

well, there are zero lessons on how to code

[fervent cove]

but there are lessons for coding securely

[dark wolf]

yeah, tips on how to not be a goofball in php forms

but not how to code an app in c

I'd say skip eJPT and prep for PT1, but I'm slightly biased. 😄

[umbral bay]

Very good, how about yourself?

[dark wolf]

Doing great, having fun with the CTFs here and chattin

helpin where i can

[fervent cove]

but i heard pt1 is hard

[dark wolf]

thats mental

you need confidence in your skills

then you master test!

practice until you know what to do with out trying to figure it out

[fervent cove]

i think theres another year of studying for me needed lol

[dark wolf]

Look at it this way, if anyone fresh off the street could get it in 3 months would it be worth it?

It takes time to build up skills and get the certs you need to get the job but its easier when you have a job to practice the skills to get more certs

Life is long!

[fervent cove]

a company would have to pay for it and pay me to get cisco certs

[grizzled sky]

omori is fantastic btw;

very very bone chilling though especially if you have childhood trauma;

[dark wolf]

get job help desk and after a few years grab network tech job

and then move to network admin and get company to pay for the ccna

easier said than done tho

[grizzled sky]

getting a help desk job is a lot harder nowadays than it used to be yeah;

[fervent cove]

nah screw networking

[grizzled sky]

like i am looking for a help desk in addition to cyber because at this point i just would settle for any job;

[fervent cove]

i rather flip burgers

[dark wolf]

well cisco isn't used as much in security so it's not as great a cert

but for networking its good

In fact the new SOC content they released has a test of what you would do if there were a cisco vuln and one of the choices was repalce cisco with fortinet

LOL

[fervent cove]

lmaooo

[blazing granite]

fortinet has a fortinet operator course for free in its website

I'm doing it 🙂

[dark wolf]

Nice

[blazing granite]

FortiGate 7.6 Operator is part of the Fortinet Certified Associate

[dark wolf]

So many certs these days

[blazing granite]

We live in the information era, but people know less and less because they don't read just they ask chat gpt 🤣

[dark wolf]

What's important is problem solving, troubleshooting and research

[blazing granite]

those are skills in extinction

[dark wolf]

Not completely, we have lots of smart cats in here

[next kelp]

How many PT1 certifications have been issued?

[dark frost]

1000

[next kelp]

That's all?

[silver hornet]

Random questions, but are writeups/walkthroughs allowed on them? Can I create my own without any restrictions? I've been looking at the TOS and other places, but can't seem to find anywhere that it states specifically the rules.

[celest dirge]

Write-ups and videos are allowed for most TryHackMe rooms. I think the only time you're not allowed to is when a challenge is newly published, and or during CTFs/Events.

Hey so I am an experienced web / devops engineer. But my interest in those is fading and I want to transition into cybersecurity and wondering what are some job titles that I could adapt my current skills too and which certs are actually worth it for interviews? Looking for a hands-on path I can grind over the next couple months.

[twilit magnet]

Hello

[sturdy sequoia]

i cant help you but welcome

[twilit magnet]

👍

[narrow yew]

You can take any path you like.
If you want to get your foot in to Cyber, look at blue team.

Huge need and entry level is quite easy.

Look at SC-200 Cert

[left lodge]

Entry level position doable in 3-4 months? cause I want out of development hell lmao

[lone sky]

My computer keeps crashing halfway through. Can you help me with this?

[copper blade]

Consistency is key in this field

[sharp scarab]

Hi. Sorry, am I missing something? I see there are few soc simulator scenarios on the soc 1 path but when I try to do them, it takes me to business plan...

[marsh lark]

yeah, most soc sims are business only

[sharp scarab]

ah ok

thank you

[marsh lark]

no problemo 🙂

[sonic totem]

in case if you doing any writeups, make sure to cover the flag

[sharp scarab]

oh man, the ai that reads the case reports is killing me. Losing 30 points for not mentioning there is no harm is brutal...honestly

hey

will it be like that on the exam too?

[rapid merlin]

hi can anyone friend me i have no friends

[teal turtle]

Hey I was just wondering if someone could help me with a pdf document I need to crack? It's a kinda important and my computer is having issues with installing C for solutions lol

[sturdy sequoia]

i wont accept your friend request but im happy to chat here

[teal turtle]

It's my pdf document relating to my personal health for more info, I just can't find out the password. It's necessary for my psychiatrist 😭

[sturdy sequoia]

cant you get the pdf sent to you again from the source?

[teal turtle]

Nope, still locked

[hazy gulch]

aloha

[narrow bronze]

Helo

Noob

[sturdy sequoia]

why would someone send you a locked file without the password?

[marsh lark]

on the SAL1 exam?

[teal turtle]

Nah they did, it's just this file was made back in 2018-2019, I thought I had the password, but it isn't working, and yeah Its been and few years and I need it

[sonic totem]

usually if about healthcare institutions you can contact their administration (staff etc)

[sturdy sequoia]

so why cant the creator of the file, or the company they work for, send you the information again?

[teal turtle]

Nah yeah like it is, and I did lol it's just to get more personal and info related, it's with NOARC

and with them, after the assessment is done, it's locked

[sharp scarab]

yes...

[teal turtle]

Password given to the user, and it's their responsibility 😭

[marsh lark]

the SAL1 exam won't be locked when you take it because you don't have the business license

[sharp scarab]

i mean, i got all the 5w's but didn't mention it was no harm even though I explicetely said this and that, the user did not access the link, blocked by the firewall etc

no no I mean with the case reports

i know

[marsh lark]

ah

lol

[sharp scarab]

yea

😄

[marsh lark]

I believe it will be similar, but I'm not 100% sure

[sharp scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/love-melting-slide-gif-13622412

[teal turtle]

Cause when I did ask them for the same file, it was locked with the same password

And ye they won't provide me with the password cause like. They think I would remember after all these years 😭

[sturdy sequoia]

sounds like a shitty system

[teal turtle]

Definitely bruh

So like. I need to crack the password, and I'm 90% sure it's less than 8 characters, I just don't have Kali set up, and when I did set up everything it's complaining about my virtual environment smh

I can 100% give password guesses to shorten the length of time it'll need, just it's more of a private convo with someone willing to help 😭😅

[sonic totem]

interesting

[teal turtle]

I can 100% chat with whomever and further explain lol if you're able to help just lemme know

It's just more of a private convo

[sturdy sequoia]

good luck 🙂

[teal turtle]

Thank yeh
