I think it's finally time to move my notes to somewhere that's easier to manage

#

I'm thinking obsidian

molten sky
#

obsidian ftw

sturdy sequoia
#

I like to have multiple files in multiple folders. Does obsidian have a file structure tree that makes it easy to swap from doc to doc quickly?

molten sky
#

obsidian notes are stored as standard md files and the directory structure matches what's found in the ui

#

you can also have multiple base dirs loaded iirc

Do you have firewall rules for your VMware on your host?

#

For 2 VMs you could create a Virtual Network or simply connect them through NAT if you are using your host as an attacker and the victim is in the VM you could just simply add NAT to the VM and use localhost on your host to connect to that. The latter might need vbox port forwarding 🤷🏻‍♂️

guys i have a problem, because I am really obsessed with cybersecurity, now I am doing soc l1 eveyrthing is so interesting and I understand most of these information from lectures but there is also a lot to remember, I am so obsessed that I can sit and stare at the monitor with THM on for 8hours. Problem is easy- how to remember all of these, these shortcuts, methods, tools, conditions, etc.

Would rather go to the pew pew range as well but I need to set up my malware laptop, run some stuff, reverse engineer the shit from last night, write some SIEM rules, edit notifications for the team and go into some EDR troubleshooting. Am I off? Technically yes. Do I have time to do it during work? No.

Haven't been to the range in like 3 years and back the I went every two weeks at least.

That blade server is so unnecessary, I love it.

I can put my dual Xeon E5-2680 V4 (28 Cores 56 Threads total) and 256 GB DDR4 ECC RDIMM in just 1 node..... I can put 4 nodes in there.

If I get the right ram, I can put 2 TB of ram IN EACH NODE! I can have 8 TB of ram sitting in that one blade!

Great! Busy at work which is good .. lots of standardization and network upgrades

The business of companies merging and consolodating ... takes a LONG ass time

But it's fun

#

You ever heard of Netscout?

I don't think so

dark wolf
#

They put taps in your network and give you graphs of different traffic and dashboards

#

in depth view of the network traffic

cosmic pendant

Security Onion 🙂

dark wolf
#

They are only focused on traffic, not the security aspects, but they are now making it possible to export the network traffic to siem and other solutions.

#

That way when systems investigation happens ... they have network data + everything else

#

They work with a lot of big names

I don't care about your score

There is a variable ik what is stored in it but I forgot it's name how can I find it

And a bit of job practice, so the value isn’t in the prize but in yourself

ok got it!

dark wolf
#

Where is the variable? Windows, Linux, Perl, PyCharm, Abacus?

Running on linux

dark wolf
#

What is stored in the variable

blissful frost
dark wolf
#

Like … for _ in range(0,10) ?

blissful frost
dark wolf
#

For when you are doing - for item in list:
And you want an iterator to count?

blissful frost
#

Iterables r objects u can loop through accessing them one by one

#

Ughhh fuck this shit is will try to filter out the value of the code by my secret weapon

#

(Guessing)

dark wolf
#

print(locals().keys())

#

print(globals().keys())

#

for name, value in globals().items():
if isinstance(value, (list, tuple, set, dict)):
print(name, type(value), len(value))

#

You can do that

blissful frost
#

It's not in a function but this is so creative tho

#

Wow

Who taught u that?

It’s a packet inspector

#

You can see all the individual packets and contents and can troubleshoot network issues

#

Like failed SIP Calls, or web server slowness or website down or dns failures

#

WireShark is GOD

You can export files and phonecalls from wireshrk

#

I tried to get wireshark but my os is not up to date and really struggling to find a version that works on Mac OS 11. Something

dark wolf
#

You can use wireshark to prove to the server team the issue is on their server and not your network

#

Update your OS, you could have dormant libraries that hackers have control

#

You would never know, so many vulns lately, running an unpatched os is asking for trouble to be honest

devout gulch
#

I think I might I did an tcpdump and googled one of the IPs I saw connecting and google said it’s from Albania

Anyway I just came here to ask if anyone knew a good resource for setting up a server? Got some gear but no idea

I want to set up a http server and have a system but hoping there’s better info than just asking ChatGPT everything

grizzled sky
#

ok so genuine but probably obvious question: its 2025, what will it take for emails to either die or by entirely end to end encrypted at infastructural levels?;

grizzled sky
#

its likes saying you want to set up a computer. any computer can be a server, and a server can be for any purpose just like a computer;

devout gulch
grizzled sky
#

a website vs a web app correct? or do you have a clear idea the differences?;

#

i think the problem here is you are thinking too broad;

devout gulch
grizzled sky
#

you need to break down "the server" into intended usecases;

#

and then break down the infastrucutral goals for each use case;

#

then you can decide on a stack that makes sense for that use case;

#

there's literally thousands of ways of doing a server;

devout gulch
#

I’m so green sorry

grizzled sky
#

hardware, software, middleware, infastructure;

devout gulch
#

I have a robust system that I’m building but most of the gear is about a decade old at least

grizzled sky
#

this is part of the reason people turn to github and "cloud", it simplifies all of this behind specialists for each subset of tasks needed to create web infastructure;

#

self hosting also might not be the right path based on your lack of experience;

#

"building a website" and building the entire infastructure out for a server to host said webstie are 2 different levels of complexity;

I’ve got a small on-prem setup — a few Dell and HP servers (PowerEdge T420, ProLiant DL360e), a Cisco + Netgear switch stack, a SonicWall firewall, Ruckus controller with 11 APs, and an APC UPS. Around 200m of Cat6 and tools for patching. I want to host a few websites (mostly static with some backend apps), learn proper server management, and eventually optimise the network for VFX and studio use. I’m rebuilding from older gear but aiming for reliability and learning full-stack infrastructure hands-on.

#

It’s mostly just educational at this point

No, you tell me, I'm asking

grizzled sky
#

from there, you want to look for a guide for each step;

#

How do you troubleshoot a network

gritty bane
#

Hello toaster

#

How are you

grizzled sky
#

i think this comes back to thinking S.M.A.R.T with your planing;

#

for both of you;

#

you're both going up with goals, not plans;

devout gulch
grizzled sky
#

plans require first coming up with the steps that make that goal possible;

grizzled sky
#

if i were you, i'd do 3 things;

#
  1. inventory of what you have;
#
  1. inventory of what your specific measurable goals are;
#
  1. what you still need to add to your stack, be it hardware inventory or software or middleware or infastructure, to make this goal a reality;
#

and then use those pieces to make a more specific todo list of things to do instead of looking at it as 1 project;

#

because what you're simplifying as 1 project is really more like 20 projects;

#

this is also something you can get chatgpt to do for you;

#

instead of giving chatgpt a goal, you ask it what steps you ned to take to get to that goal;

#

and then break down those steps into the steps you need for each set of steps;

devout gulch
#

Thanks that’s pretty much what I’m doing but was hoping there’s alternative sources of info. Thanks though that helps that I’m in the right direction

grizzled sky
#

chatgpt itself isn't a source of information;

#

its a search engine in the use case you are using it for;

#

the chat bot is literally just processing google results;

#

even if you were going on google search pre llms, you'd have the same problem at the core which is planning;

#

planning is something llms can automate, but you have to ask them the right way;

#

if you ask them to do a goal, they just give you resources that look at it big picture;

devout gulch
#

I have the plan, I’m in phase one and doing the audit

grizzled sky
#

but for something as complex as a server, its better to ask for a set of steps to plan each step in the plan you have;

devout gulch
#

It’s so new to me so thanks for confirming I’m on track. It really helps

grizzled sky
#

like if you are learning very old, specific hardware, don't just gather hardware inventory, get docs for each piece of hardware;

#

the docs are often just as essential for set up as the hardware itself, and that's 1 thing that is very easy to automate looking up with llms nowadays;

#

its like buying a stove and pots but not investing in a cookbook;

devout gulch
#

Haha I like your analogy

#

Bit daunting when you said the project is like 20 haha but that’s the realism that llms lack. Cheers for the heads up, just learning so exploring the resource and appreciate this group as you are the smart ones. Thanks for the advice

#

Also just one more question for my learning. My docs to record this are going to have the gear, working order, MAC address and IPs and power consumption but are there other critical points at this stage to include?

grizzled sky
# devout gulch Also just one more question for my learning. My docs to record this are going to...

to me to use the cooking analogy, the big picture is the documentation others have, the recipe books, your documentation of your steps (if the goal is learning, make this into a series of blogs cause i'm sure lots of other tech people would be interested hearing your process working with older harder), your cooking journal, the tools used hardware wise, the tools used software wise, and the tools used infastructure wise (for instance, the domain, the networks you are sharing your files to, the advertising to get people to find out about your projects), similar to how when you cook, there's the infastructure of your business as a restaurant, and the way you get permits for your business to be on the street of the internet;

halcyon horizon
grizzled sky
#

basically this is why i say its better to think of it as a series of projects, and break down those into a subset of smaller projects. your brain is looking at it as a single goal, but for projects they are more like a series of small actions like lego bricks that get put together to make sets and then those sets put together to make a vision or art piece that combines a bunch of small pieces into your long term goal;

#

i think i might make a blog post myself explaining how i look at projects more broadly and apply that mindset to tech, cause i am noticing more and more the reason so many people struggle both with llms and with project management is they come into it with a top down vision, the goal of a web server, but aren't good at looking at the bottom up side, the inventory and pieces that we lego brick together in the pursuit of that long term vision;

grizzled sky
#

@devout gulch do you mind if i make a copy of this convos for later so i can turn it into a blog?;

#

i think this hits on something i have thinking on for a while about the tech gap between those in tech with a uni or bootcamp background, and those in tech with a manager or top down perspective on tech;

#

the bottom up vs top down vs middle out planning disconnect and bridging that gap;

for me llms are great as executive functioning aids for people with autism and adhd cause we can just talk and talk and talk and a robot won't mind unlike our gal pals when we start talking for hours about how we love kpop demon hunters;

speaking of this remix/cover is sick;

rapid merlin

speaking of what!? xDDD

#

Yeah, goblintools is a site for neurodivergent folks specifically.

#

Useful for anyone, though

grizzled sky
#

yeah i think most people have executive functioning issues to some degree, its just that there's more education about it in the neurospicy communities;

#

its also why i highly recomend everyone for healthy gamer gg;

#

i think dr. k's guide is some of the most useful coaching videos i have ever watched;

#

clear, easy to understand, and with actual actionable meditations you can use to improve areas we struggle with most;

#

its been a huge help for me understanding and working to improve a lot of the habits and mindsets i tend to fall into that leave me dysfunction when i am not self aware about it;

its at least around the same level as a console;

You can use controller so it is exacly like on console

stuff like genshin to me is probably the only example of a 3d action game that works on mobile;

grizzled sky
grizzled sky

its like playing 3d metroid on ds years ago;

it just as fundamentally a mistake;

rapid merlin
#

aaand genshin has a built in shader / screen fixing tool

grizzled sky

and the tech increasing hasn't really changed that;

grizzled sky

so they have the infastructure at least to make it feasible, just that the cost is like 100gb of phone space;

animal crossing though is garbage on mobile;

which is weird to me;

rapid merlin
grizzled sky

you'd think it would have been a perfect fit;

#

but for whatever reason the mobile version never reached the ds or 3ds games even though it would be perfect of a game to play on the go;

#

instead i see people chugging a full switch around to play animal crossing;

grizzled sky

other people are focused on numbers going up, i just want to hunt treasures for hours and chill;

also qbittorent isn't inherently for piracy;

you can actually torrent most of the legitimate purchases off humble now;
