Guys, i just talked with someone who is working in a pentest company and he told me that any cert like ine, tcm, or htb is not qualified. He suggests offense certs, is that true? Please if somone here working in us or specially germany, please reassure me

Projects + Certs can really make you stand out, offsec certs are really good and pretty sure they're still considered the industry standard

[static kettle]

But what about others like htb, etc

[narrow yew]

aaron do you follow?

[unkempt jungle]

someone know console ethical hacking like games on microsoft edge

[half girder]

in germany it mostly matters you studied cyber, certs dont have the same value there as in foreign countries. ive rarely seen companies having any certs in the job description 🤷‍♂️

[narrow yew]

You will not find HRs thar know HTB certs or thm or tcm

Maybe for security related company's

But not for major normal white collar

[digital estuary]

jesus christ whats going on in germany?

[half girder]

actually thats the result of making everything more academic 🤷‍♂️

[narrow yew]

Well you cant just ask that

What do you want to do?

[digital estuary]

fair enoughs 👍🏼 didnt expect germany to be this academic
^ tbf i didnt look into cybersec in germany that much

[half girder]

thats all .. but better have a diploma from a university which will be even accepted.. you can check on the "anabin" database, google for it

I am trying to install John the ripper on my debian(KDE) ,can someone tell me why ||Sudo Apt Intall John|| doesnt work ? what am i doing wrong ?

[rapid merlin]

have you tried getting it from github and building localy?

[sturdy sequoia]

Missed the s in install

[hard ravine]

Will try now. . . i suppose

[hard ravine]

😒

[rapid merlin]

its straighforward and dont have to search for repos

alternatively you could add the kali repo to your system and install through that

[hard ravine]

thats clever

ty mate

[chilly veldt]

don't add the kali repo

please do not make a frankendebian

[sturdy sequoia]

May as well just use kali at that point

[rapid merlin]

make sure to do update -y and upgrade -y if you using kali repo and use the stable repo not the beta xD

[hard ravine]

Kali is a skinned debian . . . Ive spent lots of time customising my baby

[hard ravine]

come on have some faith . . .

[rapid merlin]

well you could just copy and paste your config files into a new system and boom you make an install script for your ectensions and apps and done

same system for life

[loud marlin]

kali is based on debian. but using kali repo on other distro and install kali apps, will for sure, in time crach that os

[hard ravine]

its not just that though is it , i will have to back up all my files , ive got 2 tb worth of stuff in their

[rapid merlin]

you kno what ppl did in the past they made C: and D: for windows and separate boot drives for linux

[loud marlin]

for dear love of god. don't add kali repo into any other linux

[hard ravine]

i dont have windows on this laptop 😒

[rapid merlin]

no dualboot...

[hard ravine]

listen mate i am gonna try to install it from github , if it doesnt work . . . IT IZ WHAT IT IZ

[rapid merlin]

github is the most solid option, 100% working

[hard ravine]

no , hahah i actually use linux on this one

[loud marlin]

install waht exactly?

[rapid merlin]

John

[hard ravine]

so i am trynna instal john the ripper but its not working for some reason

[loud marlin]

why not use normal apt or so to install it

[sturdy sequoia]

whats the error?

[loud marlin]

then go for github

[hard ravine]

thats the thing theres no error
i run Sudo apt install john
it does its thing but when i run commands theres no john . . . tf ?

[rapid merlin]

o.O

[loud marlin]

rty sudo apt-get search john to cehck if there is john there

[hard ravine]

will do , Thanks boys

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/war-flashback-meme-gif-11373632052098267276

[round summit]

Kali has dependencies into debian-testingand the command to upgrade is sudo apt full-upgrade - not just upgrade. Deviating from that is a sure fire way to brick your OS

Also - john is already in the debian repos. They probably didn't update before

[sand trench]

ftp does not support that... use get or mget to download the file and then read it after exiting

[rapid merlin]

oh okay

[round summit]

then it is on your local machine and can be displayed there normally

[rapid merlin]

i need to dod it locally

?

yeah you do get on the file and it gets saved in the dir you started the ftp console in

then you can cat it after exiting

[hard ravine]

it was Debian

[rapid merlin]

how could i do that ?

how do i find the packet that contains password ?

in wireshark

[hard ravine]

theres a file with the encryption key
get that and put it in wireshark and everything will be in plain text and you can see the login credentials

[rapid merlin]

i did put that in

[hard ravine]

ok then you just need to look it up
Ctrl+F to use the search bar

[rapid merlin]

it doesnt find anything. but my text is still encrypted

idk what i did wrong but i have choosen the right file

[hard ravine]

if you text is still encrypted then it means it didnt accept the key
did you touch the key ?? if you did you better restart the vm

[rapid merlin]

i know what i did wrong

i opened the wrong file in wireshark

so the key had no purpose

since it wasnt made for this file

Q) Hey everyone, need some advice please. When it comes to server security for mobile apps, what cruical security measure are missing from this list?

1. Throttling API views
2. Using private storage buckets, signed URLs and CDN for media uploading and fetching
3. Sanatizing any charfields inputted by users to remove XSS/HTML/script junk from text.
4. storing secrets in .env, never hardcoded
5. When using external APIs, restrict keys to specific APIs and also IP or app bundle id
6. Kill switches incase of emergencys
7. CORS and CSP limited to server domain
8. SSL
   9.HTTPS enforcement
9. CSRF for session theft
10. Tasks and caching via TLS

[sinful moon]

lol me in Linux, "I don't wanna enable TRIM on my encrypted drive due to security concerns... but I'm having performance issues... let's just try it and see. Oh, first trim operation was on 890GB of my 1TB drive... fair I needed that"

Just me today, I don't know why I was so suprised. Really I just want encryption at rest and I have much bigger concerns if an advisory is advanced enough to care about where my LUKS headers are and determining what filesystem is in use.

Fair I do have some legitimate concerns of more advanced advisories but reason why security is a tradeoff of the CIA triad, confidentiality, integrity, accessibility. Yeah I was harming my accessibility by being a bit too paranoid

If you all aren't familiar with the concepts, if you TRIM an encrypted drive (at least in Linux), you are basically zeroing out the data as well as telling it that it's free to use. This makes these sectors instantly recognizable while still encrypted.

Without TRIM they still appear as pretty randomized encrypted data and no one can really tell without unencrypting what's used and what's free.

This is why dm-crypt/LUKS2 encryption setups do not enable TRIM by defualt, it is less secure for it to be enabled.... but the performance overhead of me not doing so was too much

I am curious about how Bitlocker and FileVault do this, I'm guessing they just say f-it, and TRIM anyways

also lol since someone asked elsewhere, this is very much a laptop, not a desktop

[sinful moon]

Answer is, they both do

I just appreciate that Linux defaults to the more secure option unless you decide otherwise and actually learn about it

[rapid merlin]

haven't heard of TRIM, but I use LUKS with my current setup.

don't even really now much about that either other than it's supposed to provide FDE. no idea how it works. i also know that every time i reinstall Debian, it overwrites data over the entire disk to prevent old data from being leaked into the new system.

what distro do you run Elizabeth?

[sinful moon]

Arch since 2008. And TRIM is a critical function of SSD garbage collection on freed up sectors on SSDs. Just yeah if you're seeing any kind of performance issues it's likely because TRIM isn't enabled and you haven't disabled waitqueues on your SSD

[rapid merlin]

interesting. gotcha.

[sinful moon]

For all I know Debian may just make these choices for you, but Arch Wiki has more info about both topics in this and the section immediately after: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Specialties#Discard/TRIM_support_for_solid_state_drives_(SSD)

you can very easily review your flags with sudo cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sdaX | grep Flags, obvs replacing sdaX with your encrypted parition

so for me with both performance enhacements that reads as:

Flags:           allow-discards no-read-workqueue no-write-workqueue

For all I know other distros may be setting a lot of these by default, where as on Arch I have to learn about them and apply myself which is by far my preference anyways instead of someone deciding for me

[rapid merlin]

hmm, interesting. i just started researching fstrim and how it works.

[sinful moon]

yeah that at least is enabled by default for me, but would not have taken any action against my encryped drive until I allowed it to do so

you should be able to manually run an fstrim operation just via systemctl commands. Did for me

and can check in journactl

[rapid merlin]

i'm reading the man page for cryptsetup luksDump. I wanna try the command you gave

[sinful moon]

Sounds good, yeah it's just grepping for only a line containing Flags, it shows way more info than that

for me with my encrypted partition on /dev/nvme0n1p2 that would simply be sudo cryptsetup luksDump /dev/nvme0n1p2. You can use lsblk to double check which drive

Another performance enhancement would be to use 4096 instead of 512 sector size which luksDump would tell you about as well, but that's an entirely different can of worms and requires a reformat if you're on 512

[rapid merlin]

Gotcha. Yeah, I did an lsblk and got my drive info. Would you want to luksDump the crypt drive/device or the one above it?

Hey guys , can anyone help me with this connection error while connecting to tryhackme openvpn. No matter what server config I try connecting with it just says --cipher is not set. OpenVPN versions before 2.5 defaulted to BF-CBC as fallback when cipher negotiation failed in this case. If you need this fallback please add '--data-ciphers-fallback BF-CBC' to your configuration and/or add BF-CBC to --data-ciphers. . I tried troubleshooting it by editing the ovpn file adding data-ciphers AES-256-CBC:AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305 but it was of no use.

[rapid merlin]

Did you see the openvpn room as a guide?

[uneven escarp]

[rapid merlin]

Just download a fresh one from a different place from the access page

slow ass rdp machine

[marsh lark]

I blame windows

[pine bison]

even scrolling lags. holy. it was so annoying. Couldn't tunnel too. was about to lose my mind on how slow it was

[marsh lark]

was it like necessary to rdp?

[pine bison]

yes. because you can only access the 3 target host via the foothold which is what you get thru rdp

[marsh lark]

you could also do like evil-winrm or smth if you only need access to the powershell and cmd

but idk what the network was like, so

I need to review AD and do some THM AD rooms lol

@mossy river mind if I DM?

[mossy river]

I'm good, how are you?

[mossy river]

Sure

[marsh lark]

good, good, applying once again to high school 🤣

[mossy river]

Applying again?

[marsh lark]

yeah, didn't get in last/this year

idc if I get in this/next year tho

luckily, one school that I thought ghosted me that really liked me did not ghost me, and they gave me a reply (or my interviewer I guess) yesterday

only two months late

[mossy river]

Are you applying early cause you're young or does it just work differently in SK?

[marsh lark]

I'm applying to American boarding schools, and actually, the starting age is 14 (grade 9), so applying now is actually one year later than when the normal starting age is for these schools

I'm reapplying as a 9th grader cuz that gives me better chances 🤣

[winged nimbus]

I would NOT ghost you if i was one of the high schools lol

[mossy river]

Assuming it's super competitive to get in?

[marsh lark]

yeah, like 13% or smth

around that margin

[marsh lark]

[winged nimbus]

you can deff get into that

[marsh lark]

-# I failed last year

I mostly grew this past year tho imma be honest

my skills anyway

[winged nimbus]

if you put your all into it, you can get in

[marsh lark]

hopefully, but if I don't get it, its fine lol

if anything goes wrong or if someone actually catches you snooping and doing "assessments" via the logs, that friend of yours won't stop you from facing the consequences in any way

I've worked in schools and I've also done I.T. , if an admin is questioned about having granted permission to a student to mess with security they won't take the bullet for you, and almost rightfully so

[marsh lark]

idk, they are just trees lol

[dark wolf]

I prefer spanning trees, they require less water

[long lotus]

nice conversation 😭

[marsh lark]

what else can I say lol

it really depends on what specifically you are using binary trees for

[dark wolf]

Unlike Binary Tree, Spanning Tree has it's own protocol

[long lotus]

I'm going to have a test on this this Wednesday.

I'm not putting much faith in this matter.

[marsh lark]

idk how that works lol

[long lotus]

yes, ABB and AVL

It's annoying, but it's cool to understand how balancing works.

idk

[rapid merlin]

Is CTF better then normal rooms?

skill based etc, the rooms have too much text

[dark wolf]

good for sorting numbers

[marsh lark]

they have two different purposes tho

normal (walkthrough) rooms are for learning, challenge/CTF rooms are for testing your skills or just doing it for fun

[rapid merlin]

wouldn't you learn eitherway by trial and error doing ctf?

i think room have too much information you forget afterwards, hands on gets you further

[molten tartan]

I think if you have no prior experience youd be lost without the walkthrough rooms no?

I dont think youd be able to solve a ctf without having experience in the field

[rapid merlin]

that's the point, finding out what works and not, researching

[marsh lark]

yes, but in this context, that wouldn't really make sense

when including challenge rooms

you SHOULD learn and get hands on

[pallid lotus]

How do you think people learnt before resources like THM..?

[molten tartan]

ofc, but as you said: before.

[marsh lark]

but, I would argue that THM challenges are quite different. you'd be going in and trying out the challenge, you might learn a thing or two, but its not like learning AND going hands on

[pallid lotus]

The existence of training resources doesn't suddenly stop people from being able to teach themselves...

[marsh lark]

a lot of walkthrough rooms do have learning + hands on

[marsh lark]

researching is good 🙂

what works on what, etc., etc.

but you need first learn, then try challenge rooms imo

[pallid lotus]

Hacking is 90% mindset. Arguably being handheld through walkthroughs actually has the potential to make you a worse hacker because they don't encourage you to develop that research mindset for yourself.

And I say that having written a lot of the early walkthrough content on THM.

[rapid merlin]

i agree, though i think you'd atleast need some kind of base to feel confident enough to dig deeper for your self

[fading onyx]

Lately I think that hacking mindset is similar to Simon the Sorcerer puzzle solving.

[marsh lark]

you can create this base and learn through THM content (walkthroughs)

[pallid lotus]

So, yes, in many ways this is absolutely spot on.
Walkthrough content has its place. It's a quick way to introduce new concepts... provided you use it as a foundation rather than as a replacement for curiosity.
Challenge content encourages you to build up your research ability and develop the curiosity mindset.
I would never recommend people only do one or the other.

[fading onyx]

Is it me or the advent calendar email is broken?

[marsh lark]

If you forget stuff, thats normal. but it might also be a sign you aren't writing notes

[smoky ravine]

It’s broken

[pallid lotus]

Traditionally you'd get that base from other areas of IT. These days people want to skip straight into cyber.
Jury is still out on whether that's a good idea.

[fading onyx]

Thanks for confirming I was thinking it is some elaborate task that I am too dumb to solve 😄

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @smoky ravine (current: #3252 - 1)

[marsh lark]

Make sure to write notes. Good notes are:
#1: Not too long but not too short
#2: Organized in a way you can quickly find the stuff you need
#3. Useable for the future
#4: Based on the techniques, tactics, procedures, and tools you learned

This also means that when writing a note, you shouldn't name it by the room you are doing. You won't remember which room taught you specifically what you are trying to find. I've heard from experts to use the MITRE ATT&CK Framework as a reference, but since you are a beginner, I would just organize your notes in a way you can find the stuff you need.
@pallid lotus let me know if this is bad advice 🤣

[pallid lotus]

Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily tie it to an existing framework. Definitely don't tie your notes to specific training content.
Organise them in a way that makes sense to you. Take exactly as many as you need, and don't just copy/paste.

[marsh lark]

gotcha, gotcha

writing down in notes for the future

[molten tartan]

+1 especially the copy/paste part. I notice my self how i gain more knowledge by writing it down my self in my own words instead of just pasting

[marsh lark]

don't blame me, I'm a reddit ambassador, gotta give good advice

[ivory trench]

Oh, good...I thought it was just me too haha

[marsh lark]

@mossy river there will be an advent of cyber this year, right?

[dark wolf]

Hmmm... I've already done 100 rooms and i named my notes after the room

oops

I didn't know what else to call the note

[fading onyx]

Necronomicon tome 1,2,3,4 ?

[rustic fable]

Yeah, definitely

[fading onyx]

Does not work for me. My notes look like this: me press a button, me enter a command and pray for success.

[lavish rune]

not sure if ill be made fun off but as a young person into programming and cybersecurity, most of the time i rely heavily on AI to map out future topics to learn/explain them
is ther eanyway to get past this? I fear growing up and practically mfinding ymself only relying on AI cus I got used to it, but at the same time i've had comitting issues with different topics and I dont trust my self judgement

[modern fox]

ayo ayo ayo

https://tenor.com/view/captain-crack-sparrow-gif-9871647630524585868

[dark wolf]

So you will have to skip entry level jobs because AI has them, but the only problem with the mid level jobs is that you don't have experience and AI has more expereince doing entry level so it will get the job first!

[rustic fable]

I think this post is taking a jab at people who use AI to write their code/homework and not people who use AI to explain and learn
? Maybe I'm just a dum dum but sometimes I ask AI for clarification or suggestions

[cosmic pendant]

You don't learn best by having it explained to you

That's like peopel that ask google questions in general

You need to find out how you learn and learn

YOU learn, not have someone else explain it

Books are your friend, AI isn't

[lavish rune]

fair enough, but truly are there any recourses or advice I could get? this has been a real struggle for me ever since I got into programming young and has quit multiple times over

[left oak]

Yeah

[daring nacelle]

Same. Tried reporting it back to support email

[lavish rune]

or is it just not relying on AI at all and spamming books?

cant tell if im missing the point

[marsh lark]

Hi Toaster 🙂

hru?

[cosmic pendant]

Good, hyd

[marsh lark]

good, good 🙂

doing school work, coding, cyber, AI stuff now, applying to high school again

[rustic fable]

I agree with what you're saying, I avoid AI as much as I can when it comes to Cybersecurity and my college stuff, I just like using it to explain and give some context on random stuff like history

[cosmic pendant]

AI is great for experts

It's a great tool for me.

If you're here trying to learn, it can be a great tool, but it's very very dangerous and it pulls you into using it wrong

If you need to learn about python libs for doing something

Great use case

Trying to use it to learn the core of Python, okay~ish.

But that doesn't mean you learn how to program

Data structures, algos

Searching, sorting

[green schooner]

Where should this button should redirect? Because it seems like it's not working.

[cosmic pendant]

it isn't dec 1st?

[green schooner]

nope

[rustic fable]

I mostly use AI for non-learning stuff like asking it to identify a movie trope 😭

Idk if that's bad

[marsh lark]

at least this confirms there will be a AoC 2025

[rustic fable]

It feels harmless to me at least

[chilly veldt]

zeppelin is a public bot 😄

And I have my exam to finish

[rapid merlin]

Damn new bot does something special?

[devout palm]

Oh cool, I am currently using customized xfce

[devout gulch]

Took a bit of scrolling but found you. Just wanted to say thanks for the real talk. Few days into server mission and trying to document it. You were so right that’s it’s more than one project but it’s been fun. I now have broken it into many projects. I’ve moved from lemonade stand to home brewing, next step is dive bar. What a journey but building up my own little cloud and making plans for each step. And documenting the days has really helped me take in the days achievements. Thanks for holding up the arrow as it’s easy to get lost with goals.

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @grizzled sky (current: #242 - 39)

mobaxterm > putty

[narrow yew]

kitty.

@dark wolf What room do you suggest today

[chilly veldt]

kitty is a terminal, not an ssh client, sure there's the putty fork called KiTTY, but still, mobaxterm is a more rich and better client

[narrow yew]

Yes yes you are correct,

[chilly veldt]

especially when we talk windows ssh clients

[narrow yew]

Ofc

For linux I prefer Tillix

[chilly veldt]

mobaxterm also has built in password management for sessions

[narrow yew]

Tabs give me nightmares

[lone pumice]

does anyone got burp pro i reall need

[chilly veldt]

just buy it?

[narrow yew]

[narrow yew]

Cant you just script alla steps, save some time?

[lone pumice]

[chilly veldt]

[lone pumice]

[narrow yew]

You will lose all your credentials, you will loose money and get scammed.

That is what you will get

[lone pumice]

[narrow yew]

You just sound like an idiot, sorry to say it.

It is completely bullshit.
IF you lost your account you can use the password reset from microsoft.

If that is not working they have furhter steps to assist you.
