[ocean ravine]

Good luck

[blazing granite]

for network stuff you can go to David Bombal channel, also https://www.netacad.com has great courses from 0, for free and really good content, usually free courses are kind of shit but this is not the case 🙂

[sturdy sequoia]

yer thats the guy

[ocean ravine]

I think the exams cost money though

Mines free because my university paid for it but ye

[blazing granite]

there are a lot of self-pace curses that are free, you get a digital badge when you finish all for free

[rapid wedge]

i have 0 idea how good it is, but someone on my team at work got CCNA this year with the help of jeremys IT lab videos - https://www.youtube.com/@JeremysITLab

[ocean ravine]

Yes I know I already got one of them

I'm doing another one

[sturdy sequoia]

learn the content first. you can get the certs later

[ocean ravine]

You talking to @reef frigate ?

[sturdy sequoia]

Hello

[dark wolf]

Hello Bella, welcome

Whats all that?

[chilly veldt]

👀

[cobalt spindle]

Is a server I help develop

Ddos protection

[dark wolf]

There were a couple of people in another server yesterday with that tag that were trolling in there all day.

That's why I was wondering lol

[sturdy sequoia]

Happened today too

[dark wolf]

lol

[cobalt spindle]

Oh strange what server?

[dark wolf]

OwlSec

[cobalt spindle]

Mate your friend joined our server and sexually harassed girls

[sturdy sequoia]

I think it's the same people here

[abstract swan]

trolling ??

[cobalt spindle]

I was in that server some months ago

[dark wolf]

yeah, xertz is one of them

[abstract swan]

you mean some girl bragging about an illegal botnet and we said to her it was shit ?

[cobalt spindle]

Toxic community imo

[chilly veldt]

what's people's favorite dinner?

[cobalt spindle]

What was he doing?

[abstract swan]

Pasta

[cobalt spindle]

He requested me invite him to “hacking” servers

[dark wolf]

Rambling incoherently

[chilly veldt]

but homemade or from a restaurant?

[abstract swan]

Any

[dark wolf]

THis and Owlsec is a cyber security training server, not hacking servers

[abstract swan]

Nice maybe don't have some girl bragging she infected 60k devices

[dark wolf]

you're already in gtav, that's a hacking server

[cobalt spindle]

I told him that

[chilly veldt]

cause sure you can make a lovely dinner at home, what experience from a restaurant has resonated with you the most

[cobalt spindle]

Bro I invited you here for a good community

Don’t start stuff

[abstract swan]

Lmao

Owl sec is a shit site

And server

[chilly veldt]

how about coffee vs energy drink

[cobalt spindle]

Just forget it man

[chilly veldt]

or do you prefer tea?

[cobalt spindle]

Energy drink

[dark wolf]

coffeee

[austere prairie]

what is the default shel in most Linux Distros

[chilly veldt]

but what kind of coffee

[austere prairie]

*Shell

[chilly veldt]

bash

[dark wolf]

bash i smy guess

[austere prairie]

yes sir

[cobalt spindle]

Nice

[dark wolf]

Let's wait for people to come in and check off the squares as it hapens

[abstract swan]

owlsec would complete this in 5 min

[austere prairie]

Which shell does not have auto spell correction?

[dark wolf]

What??

spell correction in cli?

[sturdy sequoia]

these sound like test questions

[austere prairie]

Yes

[cobalt spindle]

The one I made doesn’t

Can’t say I’m wrong

[dark wolf]

red squiggly lines dont work in a terminal

unless you mean autocompletion

if that's the question then /bin/sh doesn't

[austere prairie]

bin/bash yep

I think that not everybody can add a write-up

[dark wolf]

i guess, i just find it funny and thought you would like the play on words

[tender orbit]

been there. forgot the encryption key. took hours to find. only to forget the username. figured out the username, forgot the password. it was a rollercoaster. i just started fresh lmao

waste of a day lmao

[dark wolf]

git writeups the best... downlaod md, load in claude code, ask for flag

[hollow saddle]

Due toh config many people write Blog Post

[blazing granite]

Sorry, I was eating and watching a tv show in Hebrew so I just so the write-up 🤣 Maybe I need a walk-through the gate of knowledge 😛

[floral ice]

ive done it :D

its actually really easy

I jinxed it

[blazing granite]

it's never easy 🤣 😛

[tender orbit]

time to rebuild in arch

the vm has arch? or the host?

[blazing granite]

I don't 😛

[dark wolf]

Neither do I. I run OS/2 and have it connected to a Novell Netware Server for my files and auth

[floral ice]

Lol no I just use windows as a host and kali linux as vms

[blazing granite]

I used OS/2 just for a while to tried it

https://tenor.com/view/goodgoshrendfit-dill-iceddill-linux-linux-users-gif-20961611

[blazing granite]

People who use arch are the vegans of linux, they have to tell you or they will explode 🤣

[gritty fern]

real lol

[ruby viper]

I was wanting to try linux for the first time and one friend was like "Start with Ubuntu, it's a good place to start" and my other friend was like "ARCH IS THE ONLY WAY"

[gritty fern]

Arch is the worst distro to reccomend to a new person lmao

[ruby viper]

I found that out the hard way 😭

[gritty fern]

actually i think suicide linux would be worse lmao

[floral ice]

ITS IS i was so confused on how to install it back when I was a beginner

[gritty fern]

I just wanted it for hyprland when i used it first

[crystal mauve]

o.O

[gritty fern]

and I would have used archinstall had i known it existed

[crystal mauve]

Hello 👋

[gritty fern]

but i spent 3 days installing it

[crystal mauve]

How can I scramble the World Wide Web ?

[gritty fern]

what?

[blazing granite]

I used gentoo for a bit

[crystal mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/miku-south-park-hatsune-miku-teto-randy-marsh-gif-5198114072719017822

[blazing granite]

then I decided to have a life 🤣

[gritty fern]

isnt gentoo known for really long install times?

[cobalt spindle]

Hey guys how’s everyone going

[blazing granite]

gentoo is practically compile everything you need to use 🤣

[abstract swan]

Hi

[gritty fern]

lmao whyyyyy

[blazing granite]

arch at least has a package manager

[gritty fern]

GENTOO DOESNT???

[blazing granite]

Slack didn't

[gritty fern]

Oh ok lol

Making the user find, download, and compile all of their packages would have been devious

[dark wolf]

You Have NO IDea!

OMG

[blazing granite]

The first time I tried Linux was back in 1993 and I haven't skipped a day, so when people say I used arch, I think ok and what? If you want to impress me you have to do better than that I used FreeBSD, Solaris, SCO 🤣

[dark wolf]

you had to find the tar.gz and install it .. BUT!!! it would be like, no .. this is missing, so you go get that and install it, but that was like nooooooo... THIs is missing

it was a never ending ordeal

and then one would not compile for some other random reason half way into it

[floral ice]

that sounds like the perfect os for me

[dark wolf]

I compiled everything in OpenBSD

didn't use ports

things ran faster

they were compiled for your machine

with the right flags too

[blazing granite]

you start compiling and error because a lib is missing, go a look for that lib, lib-dev and compile that, it was like a russian doll 😛

[tender orbit]

I def don’t recommend arch as a beginner os lol

Obv

[hearty pivot]

Why was that file inclusion room so hard for me??

[dark wolf]

Because you don't do it every day

[hearty pivot]

True lol

[dark wolf]

It forced your brain to think things through harder

there was no memory side to help out, so it's more exhausting

[tender orbit]

Lots of ways to skin a cat. I struggle with ctf boxes sometimes because im not answering in the right format even tho I got the flag

[hearty pivot]

I feel like that’s gonna be me for AoC25

[dark wolf]

One side of your brain is like a file cabinet that immediately gets things, the other side is lazy but can think well and find the info so it can go in the file cabinet

[blazing granite]

I know but he wants to do the room, leave the cats alone 🤣 😛

Hi all, I'm new to THM, can I ask questions regarding openvpn here?

Thank you for the thumbs up, I'm using kali Linux on VMware, I'm trying to connect to openvpn but after apt install and upgrade, and then installed openvpn and open .ovpn I'm stuck on UDPv4 link remote

I've retried multiple times but still no luck

The terminal keeps saying "restart, pause" and then it's back stuck on UDPv4

[narrow yew]

🙂

[stoic mist]

I've tried multiple tutorial and instructions, the official ones don't work either

[dark wolf]

Hi Loud

what's crackin

can you paste the errors in here?

like from when you type in "openvpn open.ovpn"

[stoic mist]

Wait, I'm going to need to open discord from the vm

[dark wolf]

You can't copy from the vm ?

[split rampart]

Are you using sudo

[stoic mist]

Oh yeah, idk I haven't though about that yet, let me try

[stoic mist]

Yes

[dark wolf]

My guess is an MTU issue, only error ive seen so far

[split rampart]

Have you asked AI

Claude would probably fix that in like two seconds

[stoic mist]

Wait, won't it be bad if I paste the terminal on chat? Wouldn't that trigger spam protection?

Is your VM network in bridged mode

I assume you have the syntax right

sudo openvpn --config yourfile.ovpn

if you boost the server you are purple

Hey, I'm interested in Cybersecurity. Im getting my bachelor's degree in it.

But I got excited and downloaded a .apk from a random stranger...

Its for a new mobile game.

Can anyone here check if its safe with no malware added? (Using safe methods to check it of course)

I believe it involves checking the signature to match with the official version which I shouldve just used a VPN to get in the first place, but i got excited and stupidly downloaded it.

Here is where I got it ^

Its probably safe, but i just wanted to check now that im into cybersecurity I'm anxious about every sideload

[weary veldt]

I don't think someone has that much time to look at it in sandbox

And if this is mod every scanner would detects it as a malicious

[quasi vessel]

Well okay
Wasn't sure if someone would be able to do it quick and easy.
My bad if it is too much to ask. Sorry

[dark wolf]

i reported

[quasi vessel]

?

[silver sky]

How about you download it from the official source when you are approved to download it......

Then you won't have to worry about malware

[narrow yew]

you can assume that there is an information stealer there.

[quasi vessel]

Yeah, i should have just waited but I got excited and had a dumb moment 🤦🏻‍♂️

[narrow yew]

Cracked games should be a nono

[quasi vessel]

The official version is free and out. Just not in the US where I am

[silver sky]

It's not a cracked game. It's a F2P mobile game just not available in all regions yet.

[narrow yew]

Well I would not trust that source

[silver sky]

I wouldn't either

Someone could be exploiting the hype since the announcement yesterday

[reef plover]

I've tried but when i check solution, i cant understand what they are doing:((

[weary veldt]

Ask for help then

[fast saddle]

can anyone give me tryhacme premium account . i want to clear my some room

[weary veldt]

Then learn nmap its really easy ..watch a vid on YouTube about it then remember some commands then try room which needs nmap..you will get the feeling you are chasing for

[sturdy sequoia]

you want someone to pay for you to get a premium account?

Np sis

[fast saddle]

hey iam boy

[velvet gull]

Lol sorry thought we were doing a misgenderfest or sth 💀

[sinful moon]

Gah chat is boring everywhere else, folks alseep

[sturdy sequoia]

are you up to anything interesting?

[sinful moon]

here I am now, entertain me, to paraphrase a great thinker of our time

Not much, just updated my Linux kernel and graphics drives exciting lol

Just finished watching The Thief and the Cobbler Recobbled Mark 5 WIP, just one of the great unfinished animation masterpieces of all time

Not my first time but it's been a couple years

mad lads basically animated everything on 1s, aka 24fps. Most animated films animate on 2s with some exceptions

Just trying to kill some time before my ultimate bedtime, usually there's folks asking silly questions here but seems not sadly

[sturdy sequoia]

haha there was plenty of that earlier

[sinful moon]

haha yeah looks like it scrolling up

for on topic news, I got to deal with user who fell for fake CAPTHCA, the CTRL+V this into cmd.exe kind the other day that was fun, but EDR stopped it

[chilly veldt]

did you know that CARP is a cyprinus carpio

[sinful moon]

I have no idea what you're on about bella

Do you mean the entomology of the phrase?

[sinful moon]

Just how you caplitalized that is odd lol

[sturdy sequoia]

do you mean etymology?

[sinful moon]

yeah that was spell check fail

I don't care much about bugs

beyond the computer kind

[sinful moon]

sorry but this reference is lost on me lol

[sinful moon]

okie

[chilly veldt]

the fish

[sinful moon]

oh lol I thought you were saying crap, just weird how you captalized it either way

[chilly veldt]

CARP

Common address redudancy protocol

[sinful moon]

lol there you go

Conditional Access Redundency Protocol

[chilly veldt]

Currently Actually (Not) Really Productive

[sinful moon]

Congested Allocation Revocation Protocol

[sturdy sequoia]

Carp Address Resolution Protocol

[sinful moon]

lol you're no fun shyft :p

[sturdy sequoia]

carps need ARP too

[chilly veldt]

I have 1.5 hours to deliver my documentation

[sinful moon]

good luck!

I'm going to finish an incident report today at work, among a few other infosec tasks

just lol all ya'll not in the indusstry yet, both blue team and red team roles require quite a bit of documentation and reports

good skill to have

[sturdy sequoia]

but its so boring 🙁

[sinful moon]

and so nessessary lol, but you're not wrong

but a good report is like

Even if it's just for internal use

Communication is a huge part of infosec

Not even reports, if you can't effectively communicate why something needs to be patched so badly in your own words, then that's something to work on

Just linking an article is not enough lol

[somber stump]

passed my Sec + exam today.. got a perfect 750 😉 hahaha

[sinful moon]

Congrats!

[somber stump]

barely passed hahahaha

[sinful moon]

lol I don't even know what the scoring is, but a pass is a pass

[somber stump]

100-900, more weight on the PBQ's than the MC questions

750 is passing grade

[sinful moon]

fair enough, but yeah HR hiring boss monster just want to hear you have the cert, not your score lol

I could most likely take and pass Sec+ right now without issue, but too busy.

Bout to move into a new home, that's exiting! And yeah 5+ years on the job experience helps for the HR boss monster

just yeah I'll bolster them when it's time for me to move on

[somber stump]

yeah the thing with this one which i guess most people would probably know is that the stuff you study for and videos you watch.. the questions i got had almost nothing to do with them ahahah

[sinful moon]

Heh well most of them are examples and not like literally what you're going to see

They're just usually in the general ballpark

maybe after my move I'll finally take it, that would be nice

[weary veldt]

Still impressive comptia lives in their own world ..they can have many answers to one question..

[sinful moon]

just from my prior study sessions, it does seem somewhat easy, but fair I don't want to underestimate. But lol I've talked with OSCP folks where I was like, damn I could easily do that, but they conveyed it's a bit more about the endurance

lol talking two different certs to be clear, I know these are nothing alike besides the field

[somber stump]

i mean im sure if i spent more than 4 days doing practice tests and failing (600-700 score) i would have gotten better scores and been more confident aha. but yeah its got some endurance, i had 74 questions 4 were the PBQ and obviously those took the longest (i didnt answer 1 of them cause i had 0 idea of what to do, was stupid hard).. i had i think 1:45hrs to do the test and i think i finished with about 50m left.. so it isnt super long but if you take your time to answer things properly you would probably use up the whole alotted time

[weary veldt]

Yeah i was thinking of compiling all the questions which are confusing to the reader and all the answers seem true and there is no way to find out the real answer which compti is satisfied with

[sinful moon]

Fair enough, I'm not so sure for myself however, but I can't comment until I try. I'll withhold the rest of my comments lol

[rapid merlin]

Hello

[sinful moon]

heya

[rapid merlin]

I wanna become red team so can you give me roadmap mate

[sturdy sequoia]

#start-here

[sinful moon]

I mean TryHackMe inherently has one, just yeah this ^

[rapid merlin]

oh okay

[somber stump]

i wouldnt say its cheap to just try.. unless you have spare cash aha im from Aus so it cost me $750.. couldnt find any working discounts xD aha

[sinful moon]

far cheaper in USD but fair idk the conversions

[sturdy sequoia]

just for the exam?

[somber stump]

yeah

[sturdy sequoia]

damn

[somber stump]

i mean usd is aout 450 but thats cause of the exchange rat

about

rate

[sinful moon]

even that sounds high from the last time I checked but wouldn't doubt that it's changed

CompTIA are money grubbing and scummy

[somber stump]

its probably cheaper.. im kind of guesstimating based on forex

[plush needle]

Let's not share links of potential unsafe programs in here please.

[rapid merlin]

is ceh enough to get red team or pentester jobs? or nah

[weary veldt]

I think they are non profit org

[sinful moon]

Honestly get some experience under your belt before you even consider such

[sinful moon]

Every move they make sure seems pretty darn profit motivated lol

[sturdy sequoia]

depends on where you are. but from what i hear, you need experience to get a red team job

[somber stump]

i real test for red team is the capstone challenge.. that sucker took me like 2 days lmao

[sinful moon]

myself personally I would consider OSCP to be the life goal cert for anything red team though, CEH seems lesser but I know less about it

[rapid merlin]

oh we can't get red team for fresher right?

[sturdy sequoia]

pretty much.

[sinful moon]

Yeah not happening lol, need work experience, and before getting ahead of yourself, just get some actual practical experience with learning this stuff

[weary veldt]

It is the pearson company which makes the money..they conduct exams

[sinful moon]

Then yes they are an awful money grubbing org

[somber stump]

OnVUE are super duper strict when it comes to online testing too lol

[rapid merlin]

i see.. then what jobs i should do for fresher? like getting experience for red team

[weary veldt]

They are i have studied almost 5 certs from comptia but never gave the exams

[somber stump]

i mean have you got any IT work experience?

[sturdy sequoia]

help desk -> network -> cyber security -> pentesting

[rapid merlin]

oh right but oscp is expensive ngl

[sinful moon]

Anything security related, but honestly, getting into IT in general, it's easy to get into help desk and then move up. I personally wouldn't trust someone without help desk experience

yep Shyft put it well

[quasi vessel]

Isn't it only unsafe if you choose to download the file tho? It was just the archive .org page which itself is safe
I also said to be careful if you try it

[sinful moon]

You laugh Feroz, but you should see the kind of people who come out of comp sci or infosce degrees from college, they know nothing

[somber stump]

exactly.. if you dont have any IT experience then its extremely unlikely to get into red teaming right away.. you would need to get some miles on your belt before even thinking about doing it

[rapid merlin]

I am just college student and I know cs fundamental and coding stuff and some cybersecurity tools like nmap and AD attacks tools etc etc

[weary veldt]

I think you still should defang the URL

[sinful moon]

still wouldn't trust you without real world experience, what you described isn't a lot to be frank

[quasi vessel]

Was it my link? Idek it says message deleted, but its still there just without link now

[sturdy sequoia]

yes. your link was deleted by the mods

[rapid merlin]

hmm right then i get blue team jobs like soc and cybersecurity analysts for fresher?

[sinful moon]

Sounds good

just like do not refuse help desk jobs

[quasi vessel]

Archive . Org is safe but ill keep in mind to defang links either way. Sorry

[plush needle]

You could say that for any link then, which is not a great reason to justify sharing it in here. Also, some people might not be cautious or know how to deal with unsafe programs, thus we already prevent sharing such links in here.

[weary veldt]

I get that their certs don't have a way to connect with other same domain specific certs and they just give theory not methodology or anything else...
For me comptia is good for the syllabus which is structured if you don't wanna get lost in a big pool of infosec.

[sinful moon]

every big name infosec person around talks about how valuable their time in help desk was, it's how I got my start as well

[sturdy sequoia]

i started in help desk too

[rapid merlin]

will they trust that roles for get red team?

[sturdy sequoia]

you learn patience and how to work with shitty managers

[quasi vessel]

Okay, my bad. I did say to be careful tho. But wont put any more links

[plush needle]

Yes it was archive.org but showing a page that allowed to download that potential harmful program.

[rapid merlin]

i see.. then i should learn blue team roles then

[hot parcel]

ctf battle anyone?

[weary veldt]

Don't study role specific if you are beginner

[sturdy sequoia]

general networking concepts should be the first area you look into. its useful for pretty much all security jobs

[sinful moon]

It's also you learn end user expectations, what they can realistically manage instead of forcing too much security on them, and yeah patience dealing with them, and interacting with other IT teams and your co-workrers

yeah for sure

there's tons you don't know you don't know until you see it in production

[rapid merlin]

well I know ceh tools and theory as well and i already practiced ceh tools in tryhackme

[sinful moon]

I thought I was hot shit in terms of networking and sysadmin until I had to do it professionally, I just literally didn't know what I didn't know, because it was unrealistic to even come across those kinda use cases

[sturdy sequoia]

haha yer it really is a wake up call

[weary veldt]

Ok now you can choose the role..

[sinful moon]

this is very funny now (consider I'm entirely self taught) but I literally had to ask, wait what's a VLAN? Once I got that answer, i learned everything there is to know, but never be afraid to ask those kind of questions and learning every single day should be your goal

[weary veldt]

Hey i have a question?.
Is it common to forget things even if you do revision..
What i realised lately if you are not practicing the thing or not using it in day to day or week to week time you will lose what you learnt ..

[rapid merlin]

hmm okay

[sturdy sequoia]

yer that can happen if youre learning a lot of new things all at once

[sinful moon]

Take notes and to things via repetition otherwise yes it can be easy to forget it they dont' come up often.

because yes you're right, as Shyft says

[rapid merlin]

well ctfs amd rea life are different so much right??

[sturdy sequoia]

yer. apparently the HTB ones are more realistic but theyre also a lot more difficult

[sinful moon]

But yeah those are also teaching you to learn via repitition your tooling, and what needs to change for each enviroment and such

just biggest difference, very little actually challenge on stealth

[weary veldt]

Yeah I'm about to do a lot of projects and documentation i think that will help to retain some

[chilly veldt]

okay, ended up being 37 pages

[sturdy sequoia]

after 1000 nmap scans it will become second nature

[sinful moon]

no way in heck are you going to use nmap -T4 in the real world for example

[chilly veldt]

could've written a lot more, but no time, need to be better with my time next time

[sinful moon]

but yes, even on THM, nmap scan every machine you come across even when it doesn't ask it, fantastic way to get your metholodigy down

[chilly veldt]

but 37 pages in 3 days, a record xD

[rapid merlin]

oh you did give interviews.. did they give basic questions related cybersecurity to you right? ?

[sinful moon]

I was hired during covid almost sight unseen and suprised everyone, so I'm not the person to ask

[chilly veldt]

I have to deliver my report in 40 minutes

cutting stuff cloooose

[rapid merlin]

💀 it takes time so much like 30min-1hr

[chilly veldt]

(reason why I am texting is cause I am waiting on my group mates)

[sinful moon]

I was hired as help desk, and naturally just fell into infosec and sysadmin due to my skillset and knoweldge, but helps I am constantly learning about this stuff

you can never stop learning and just "call it good" in IT or infosec

[sturdy sequoia]

for one nmap scan?

[rapid merlin]

in htb, I don't have points enough for get next room

[weary veldt]

Whats your role now

[rapid merlin]

yes

[rapid merlin]

same question

[sturdy sequoia]

wow. i dont think ive ever had an nmap scan last that long for one host

[sinful moon]

I'm in a small business, and to describe all my roles would be silly

[weary veldt]

Legendary scan 😂

[sinful moon]

I can but I more or less wear all the hats so to speak

[rapid merlin]

oh.. i think its depends on server.. that server was slow thats why it took time so much

[rapid merlin]

Scanning google?

[sinful moon]

if a government form asks I just say Information Security Analyst which is what our website says I am

[rapid merlin]

nah nah a website

[sturdy sequoia]

were all the ports open?

[rapid merlin]

Did you slow down scanning for stealth reason? Or is the server just not that responsive?

[sinful moon]

or heh rate limited by ISP or firewall, very common as well

[marsh lark]

do u have permission to scan this website?

[sinful moon]

better question

[weary veldt]

It means you are doing all the roles in infosec..🫡🫡

[rapid merlin]

True

i did scan -p- one lol

[rapid merlin]

yes

[rapid merlin]

Ah ok

[sinful moon]

that's 65K+ ports x2

maybe don't do that for your initial scan lol

[rapid merlin]

oh

[rapid merlin]

Do you need permission if you dont get caught?

https://tenor.com/view/stan-twitter-woman-running-gif-11416244931453957551

[marsh lark]

you’ll probably get caught lol

[rapid merlin]

I am not scanning though. And hey, dont bully me

wait how wll they caught ? i am just curious

[weary veldt]

Lots of scan logs

[marsh lark]

scan logs

[sinful moon]

Anyways for whomever was asking I am sole Infosec everything including SOC manager, security engineer, etc lol, Windows Sysadmin, sole Linux sysadmin, devops, compliance manager, and still dip into help desk. I'm probably missing some

[rapid merlin]

oh wait blue team

right

[odd knoll]

guys i need help

[sturdy sequoia]

with?

[weary veldt]

Its a full package 📦 hope they are paying you well

[mossy river]

DM me please

??

[odd knoll]

I’ve completed the Defensive Tools room on TryHackMe. Are there any related challenges, labs, or follow-up rooms you recommend for practicing these skills?

related to this

[sinful moon]

Not for all those roles no lol, but I can't complain for where I'm at in life. About to buy our second home

[mossy river]

Regarding the message you posted

[abstract swan]

Alright see ya all, I need some rest. Nice chatting as always!~

[fierce phoenix]

Idk what to say😭

[rapid merlin]

[weary veldt]

Take care

[rapid merlin]

[odd knoll]

Who's care my message! 😢

[sturdy sequoia]

at least try it on your own first

[fierce phoenix]

Take care

[sturdy sequoia]

i would love to help but i have no idea

If you tried your best and can't find the answer then its not

[odd knoll]

okay dude

[rapid merlin]

oh i did try my best

anyways I learnt AD attacks in tryhackme

[weary veldt]

Good for you

[rapid merlin]

i made own AD lab and attacks report as well

[fierce phoenix]

Does anyone know any server related to web dev and also aiml?

[rapid merlin]

there are many servers in it

[fierce phoenix]

Ok thanks

[winged sparrow]

[weary veldt]

I have no experience in this

[chilly veldt]

lmao, @sinful moon after annex and making everything look pretty, my documentation hit 100 pages

[marsh lark]

100

how much was the average again?

[chilly veldt]

yes

[marsh lark]

gotcha

[chilly veldt]

I mean, it's only 26 full pages (including annex) and 17 full pages (without annex)

[prisma void]

something going on with the site?

Having issues connecting

[rapid merlin]

guys does anyone try wreath room??

[floral turtle]

yo guys, any fullstack devs here? i kinda need a bit of help with a CORS error

[slow cloud]

maybe people in #programming can help

[light mirage]

Anyone having issues with OpenVPN today?

[floral turtle]

i figured it out, man backend needs a lot of hand-holding to work properly

hey

[narrow yew]

Hey fam

[stoic quarry]

👋

[narrow yew]

Fridays ganggang

[stoic quarry]

Hello hello

[fossil relic]

how are you?

[narrow yew]

Alex welcome to THM

[fossil relic]

Thanks!

[stoic quarry]

Doing p well thanks

[narrow yew]

Are you registered on the site?

[fossil relic]

Sorry i am new to discord.What registeration you are asking for?

[stoic quarry]

TryHackMe

[narrow yew]

This is a Discord channel for tryhackme.com

[fossil relic]

i have not done any registeration

[stoic quarry]

As Math mentioned, this is a community server for the TryHackMe platform

[narrow yew]

You are welcome either way, just read the rules so you don't ask for hacking help 😄

[dawn wren]

My main complaints about THM so far is their Echo assistant, and their Attackbox's with connection issues even when my internet is fast and up to date.

[silver hornet]

i was done a poc of CVE-2025-33073
https://github.com/uziii2208/CVE-2025-33073

[fossil relic]

yep.hehe

[sturdy sequoia]

you can turn echo off and connect via vpn

[narrow yew]

I see a lot of people complain about Echo but I am honestly are not bothered, its just an icon that sits in the corner

[marsh lark]

yup

[stoic quarry]

You can always use your own VM for the labs, the attackbox can fluctuate depending on the traffic

[marsh lark]

and its new, so

[dawn wren]

Yes i know but what is this whole deal with VPNs ?

[stoic quarry]

You need to connect to the THM network to access the lab machines, so you just need to connect to it

[marsh lark]

you have to connect to the VPN so that you can connect to the target machines

[stoic quarry]

It's not too hard

[dawn wren]

What VPN do you recommend ?

[sturdy sequoia]

i think theres even an openvpn room

[stoic quarry]

Just download the .ovpn file from the dashboard on THM and openvpn ./{username}.ovpn

openvpn is installed by default on Kali iirc

[narrow yew]

OpenVPN is needed here and any client that supports it is fine to use

[marsh lark]

https://tryhackme.com/room/openvpn

follow this room

[stoic quarry]

I think most clients that let you import vpn files will let you do it too aye

[narrow yew]

Do you have a project in mind for the weekend?

[stoic quarry]

Probably another blog writeup

Or something with my blog

Any apply for more jobs

[narrow yew]

Share it after, happy to read it

[stoic quarry]

I have my blog on my discord profile, some pretty basic stuff there

[narrow yew]

I am quite sure I have already looked at it

[stoic quarry]

Hahah thanks

[narrow yew]

Me beeing me I quite sure I have 😄

[dawn wren]

Thank you ill check it out.

[twin ridge]

Hope my spelling mistakes aren't too obvious haha

I have another post in the works about how the new 1701-D set from Lego is broken and doesn't make sense

No Tasha Yar, but Wesley is wearing his outfit from before he was a cadet?

Something is wrong

[silver hornet]

hi Donut

[narrow yew]

I did not see it on your profile tbh, but i'll find it

[stoic quarry]

It's not up yet

[narrow yew]

I wish I had spent time setting up an Osint module, got tasked to snoop on a developer and see if he has the certs he claim to have 😄

[stoic quarry]

Lmao

Time to do some OSINT

[narrow yew]

Does not make it easier that it is a common indian name

its not like there is a shortage of devs from india

But Ill just have GPT have a go

[stoic quarry]

Good luck

[narrow yew]

I doubt I will succeed

[stoic quarry]

Doubt GPT will be able to do a good OSINT report fo ya

Yeah haha

Unless you can get the certificate IDs and just check with the issuer

[narrow yew]

Well it gather the low hanging fruit for me, I have a long prompt on how it should act

[stoic quarry]

Although I'm not sure how dev certs work. I know comptia has a way to check

[last crown]

Quick question, if i'm uploading a writeup to THM, do i need to hide flags? Or it doesn't matter?

[narrow yew]

Flags are not supposed to be in the writeup, even tho alot have it.

I think

[last crown]

Yea, so what i did up to now, is to show how to get them, but hid them.

thanks for the quick answer 🙂

[narrow yew]

It is 50/50 what people look for, some want the flags and some want some hints

[stoic quarry]

I usually blur them out

Or if they're in text, just *******

[last crown]

Yea i rather not get flags too, i prefer hints and learn.

[stoic quarry]

The way I see writeups is showing how you got an answer and documenting that journey, rather than just "I did this and this and here's the flag"

Although there are plenty of writeups that do show flags, they don't really assist your learning

[last crown]

Yep. I'm trying to understand numerous ways to solve a certain CTF, and write it in a specific way, whether it was faster, easier or more optimized to solve that way.

[stoic quarry]

Nice!

Good luck!

Say thanks more

[last crown]

Thanks bro

[narrow yew]

I will lure her in to the dugeon with some orange chocolate.

[stoic quarry]

I'll get my alt accounts here and boost my account then immediately get banned

[regal basin]

Same, showing the way is what only matters for me, but maybe there is other interesting point of view on that

[narrow yew]

waits to see if shadow have a notification on "shadow"

[stoic quarry]

Personally I don't hide away from showing the rabbit-holes and useless routes I go on. If someone is reading my posts for answers they're probably going to get mad

I don't try hide me getting confused and going down the wrong path

More about the journey I go on

[narrow yew]

I went down a rabbit hole yesterday when bruting a mysql

[marsh lark]

the only way people could actually solve the machines through my writeups (the newer ones anyway) is by actually following the process

[stoic quarry]

Nice nice

[marsh lark]

I hide ALL passwords, encrypted stuff, flags, etc.

[stoic quarry]

Good lad

[regal basin]

Why do you do Write-ups ? for interview ? accomplishment for yourself ?

for the commu ?

[stoic quarry]

Both Ig

It's a decent portfolio show when you can say "Look at the 30+ writeups I have"

[marsh lark]

accomplishments, just the fun of them, high school applications

[stoic quarry]

It's nice when your write-ups are featured on the labs too

I've talked about it in interviews. A pretty popular EDR company I interviewed for were impressed by my posts

[regal basin]

i didn't know it was possible

[marsh lark]

for THM specifically, you can submit it for "review" basically

[regal basin]

that's cool

[marsh lark]

if the room creator accepts it, it becomes an official writeup

[narrow yew]

If we are doing interviews at I rather see that someone talk about their homelab or show their scoring from THM/HTB and a github full of writeups.

Compared to having Sec+ or any certs that does not really show current skill or interests

[stoic quarry]

Another site I use allows writeups too

[marsh lark]

HTB?

[stoic quarry]

CyberDefenders

[marsh lark]

ah

[stoic quarry]

I'm more of a blue-team guy yk

[marsh lark]

yup 🙂

[stoic quarry]

I couldn't hack a box if my life depended on it

[narrow yew]

But they have nice merch

I really want to find time to design new mearch for THM

[stoic quarry]

Actually HTB have some blue-team stuff don't they?

[narrow yew]

But I have a really short attention span

They do

and nice stickers

[stoic quarry]

Ooo

Maybe I'll give em a shot

But I really ought to focus on certs rn

Still lagging behind

[narrow yew]

I need to set up a meeting with them, maybe in December

[marsh lark]

with THM?

[narrow yew]

htb...

or maybe thm 😄 who knows

I want to do an in-house CTF for work

[marsh lark]

I'd like a full blown meeting with the THM team about a completely different matter 🤣

[marsh lark]

ah, I see

[stoic quarry]

I'm sure you could ask about setting up a meeting

[marsh lark]

they're busy probably

[stoic quarry]

Doesn't hurt to ask right

[narrow yew]

They emailing about meetings after I met them at a conference, I kind of owe them after telling their VP of labs that last CTF we entered was crap

[marsh lark]

maybe

I've already talked to them about it, waiting for a response

[stoic quarry]

Fair enough

[marsh lark]

yeah, but I wrote them a LONG message lol

[stoic quarry]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[marsh lark]

I almost exceeded Discord's max characters for non-nitro users

🤣

[stoic quarry]

Hahah nice

[marsh lark]

yup

hopefully they get back to me

[stoic quarry]

Fingers crossed!

[pale hill]

please help, does anyone have a promo code for a discount on hack the box ?

[marsh lark]

best to ask in the hackthebox discord

[pale hill]

Yes, but just in case, I asked

[dusk bane]

in lab XDR: Operation Global Dagger i need to access Microsoft Defender XDR to complete the questions but Microsoft Defender XDR limits my time to 18/5/2025 and the data i need is before that day. I also looked at other people's wu to verify this. What should i do now i don't have enough data to do. Anyone can help me 😭

[marsh lark]

this is the tryhackme server, kind of a "rival" against hackthebox 🤣

[marsh lark]

if it limits you to that day, there probably isn't any data before that date

[dusk bane]

no bro, I checked other people's write up and the required data is before the date 18/5

[marsh lark]

hmm, let me check the room

[dusk bane]

you see he has data for 12/5 but i cant adjust the time to 12/5

[marsh lark]

you sure this is May 12th, not December 5th?

[dusk bane]

it is now 14th November 2025 so how can there be data on 5th December 2025 so it must be 12th May

[marsh lark]

oh yeah 🤣

me being dumb lol

I'll check my instance

[marsh lark]

happens

[tender orbit]

morning everyone

[dusk bane]

you too right, can't watch before may 18th right

[marsh lark]

[dusk bane]

oh thanks i wanted to see if i was the only one

[marsh lark]

which question are you working on?

[dusk bane]

question 1

[marsh lark]

its local time tho

basically, the start date might change depending on your location

[dusk bane]

I don't understand very well, what does it have to do with anything? If I change to another time zone, can I watch it?

[marsh lark]

ok, so

a report might come at some day and at some hour at some time zone
