I'm looking at this, where do you find a PSU with x3 8-pin CPU power cables 😭

lots of PSU's have that, but thats a MB

me too. I just finished reading this research about IoT security... interesting enough cuz there's no S in IoT🤡
finite basalt
lots of PSU's have that, but thats a MB
Nah, most have one/two 8pin cpu power cables and the 24 pin
distant robin
I'm looking at this, where do you find a PSU with x3 8-pin CPU power cables 😭
Google it - it should give you the ones you need
finite basalt
But a mobo with three connectors is unusual as far as I'm aware
dark wolf
finite basalt
the mobos and cpus aren't listed on pcpartpicker 🤣
dark wolf
maybe you shouldn't pick those parts then
finite basalt
I'm debating it in the future as a server, I know how to match the sockets, I've just never seen a mobo with so many cpu power connectors 🤣
distant robin
But a mobo with three connectors is unusual as far as I'm aware
Google has given me some options. Where are you located?
finite basalt
I'm in the UK and don't see any power supplies with three out of the box
distant robin
Same
dark wolf
maybe buy a splitter
finite basalt
Ignore I've found one
dark wolf
I use a 100,000W PS in my pc

yeah, would be a little overkill unless you have 80 H100s maybe
distant robin
maybe buy a splitter
Yeah I was gonna suggest the same but he needs a PSu that is capable of delivering the power he needs to the motherboard
dark wolf
but wouldn't each connection still draw the same power even thouth its a splitter?
finite basalt
I'd be more concerned with overloading the wires to the psu than anything
distant robin
These look great but expensive AF - https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/p/psu/cp-9020269-uk/hx1500i-shift-fully-modular-platinum-atx-power-supply-uk-cp-9020269-uk @finite basalt

splitting into two is one thing, splitting into three might be excessive
currently looking at a Corsair RM1000x (2021 edition)
dark wolf
splitting into two is one thing, splitting into three might be excessive
long as you dont melt the wires
finite basalt
I don't make the wires coming from the PSU though, they're usually designed with one-port-one-connection in mind with tolerance for splitting. How much tolerance they have would be questionable
finite basalt
I have no intention of measuring the diameter of the wires and calculating it 🤣
dark wolf
lol, you can serch the gauge wire used
sturdy sequoia
just an fyi. dont try to modify a power supply 😛
finite basalt
just an fyi. dont try to modify a power supply 😛
We're not referring to modifying the power supply, more using adapters on the standard cables
dark wolf
just an fyi. dont try to modify a power supply 😛
im talking about splitting the power with a y connector that they make
I used to do it for floppy and hard drives and cds
distant robin
splitting into two is one thing, splitting into three might be excessive
He's right, I wouldn't even think about doing that either. Just too much risk of a fire happening.
finite basalt
but also if you know what you're doing and do it safely, you can modify and repair power supplies, you just have to make sure the circuit is dead and that no capacitors are storing residual electric. Not that I'd modify it anyway
sturdy sequoia
i personally prefer to just buy the right hardware. but to each their own
distant robin
i personally prefer to just buy the right hardware. but to each their own
Amen to that
dark wolf
back in the dayx of the x86 family that was your only choice if you wanted more hard drives
you buy power splitters to the hard drives
they all worked just fine
distant robin
you buy power splitters to the hard drives
That's different.
dark wolf
why? its hardware drawing amps
finite basalt
i personally prefer to just buy the right hardware. but to each their own
When we say about splitting a cable, we mean with an adapter, not splicing the cable. However, as someone with a loose understanding of electricity and with a father who's an engineer, I have no intention of testing how much power those 12v cables are rated to carry, if I were to hazard a guess, probably not 1 connection into 3
finite basalt
you buy power splitters to the hard drives
That's very different, they're very low power in comparison to CPU, GPU and Mobo
dark wolf
I doubt those connectors carry that much current
distant robin
Seems like you and I are the only ones who understand how things work @finite basalt
finite basalt
There's making things work with what you have and then there's botching things together in dangerous ways
The first I'm open to, the latter, I will never
dark wolf
ok, so those 8 pin ones do draw too much
looks like you want the 3 connectors for sure
finite basalt
Oh yeah for sure, those power your CPU and probably some of the respective PCIE lanes, not sure if that's just covered with the 24 pin though
Like if a CPU draws 150W it will get a portion of that from the 24pin, but most of it will come from the CPU power pins (8pins usually)
celest dirge
Seems like you and I are the only ones who understand how things work <@43692812...
I thought you were going to sleep?
distant robin
I thought you were going to sleep?
Lol I am, just this conversation was interesting. Now I am going to bed lol
finite basalt
If you used one wire to carry 150w of power for the cpu, at 12V you're looking at 12.5A, that's why it's split into pins, that'd be roughly 3.125A per pin across one 8-pin.
I'm assuming off the top of my head that for each +12V pin there's a ground, hence I divide by four rather than 8, I'm assuming pairs of 2
dark wolf
ok, fair enogh
distant robin
I thought you were going to sleep?
I may be a woman but this is my kind of thing too, I spend 20 years in tech doing this. I did a spot of electronics engineering for fun as well. Right I am off for real.
dark wolf

dark wolf
I may be a woman but this is my kind of thing too, I spend 20 years in tech doin...
night for real valk
finite basalt
But the idea is that if you split that across three connectors, you're looking at just over an amp per pin which is far more reasonable
finite basalt
Lol I am, just this conversation was interesting. Now I am going to bed lol
Take care 😄
boreal scarab
Yah! 
finite basalt
Upon googling an EPS standard 8pin cable should be safe to split into three as they can carry up to 180 watts
But I imagine those wires get toasty, definitely better to avoid a splitter where possible
dark wolf
yeah but also your mb might not need all three if you are not overclocking
ashen cape
finite basalt
yeah but also your mb might not need all three if you are not overclocking
It's not overclockable I don't think, it's a server mobo with a server cpu 😄
finite basalt

Dude that's so stupid, wow. I use VPNs to connect back home safely and get work ...
its even dumber than that, vpns literally are foundational to internet;
like dns server level;
sturdy sequoia
its so ridiculous
grizzled sky
it would be one thing if they made is so you had to register with the government to use vpns, that could at least be enforcable theoretically;
desert dirge
Yeah seriously lmao what a bunch of tar
sturdy sequoia
how will i do thm boxes?
sinful moon
Yeah like it'll never pass, but that's also because yep we have EFF and such lobbying against. Been staunch supporters of them for at least 20 years
sturdy sequoia
glad to hear EFF is still around and not corrupt
grizzled sky
when i have money its near the top of who i want to give money towards;
sinful moon
mhmm
EFF, Archive.org, and Wikipedia I try to throw some money at when able. And at least materially contribute to the former two as well
molten sky
wikipedia can do without
good in concept, but last time i looked into their books it wasn't what's necessarily portrayed
sinful moon
Yeah they've only gotten stuff out of me sparingly to be honest, not a huge fan of how insessent they are asking for such
molten sky
not even a matter of asking too frequently, more a matter of them claiming "we need your money to keep wikipedia running!" and then using your donations to get involved in political bs
sinful moon
lol now that's a weird one
sinful moon
yep good stuff
grizzled sky
speaking of books and the eff, great book highly recomend it;
sinful moon
well good text about shitty stuff lol

wikipedia also has pretty damn significant financial reserves rn

honestly I was just trying to think of a third to round out my list that was better than Thunderbird which probably needs it a bit more
In my understanding Mozilla has majorly distanced themselves
grizzled sky
for me i like thunderbird but i wish emails would die;
i know they won't because too many essential services use them;
molten sky
thunderbird I could definitely get behind --- gotta keep those guys going
EFF without a doubt
grizzled sky
but at this point the protocol is a security nightmare;
sinful moon
absolutely
but yeah gotta have email one way or another and yep, I use Thunderbird erryday
grizzled sky
if i could convince my friends i would get everyone on matrix protocol;
sinful moon
if only it were that easy lol
grizzled sky
but sadly people complain the interface is too hard to use;
even though you can just use a different client;
sinful moon
at least I have one friend group who almost exclusively chats on Signal, that's nice
grizzled sky
yeah same, even my grandpa likes signals;
so now our family chats are mostly there and we share family photos there;
sinful moon
mhmm, but yeah helps that one of them is DFIR manager at a major org, so that was a good motivation, I wasn't the instigator there
grizzled sky
though my grandpa literally lives on a farm on a mountain in the middle of nowhere;
so he cares about privacy a lot more than most people;
sinful moon
totally fair
grizzled sky
there was a meme i shared with him;

grizzled sky
dei is a buzz word;

grizzled sky
literally means nothing;
at this point if a gay person or a black person is involved, reactionaries call it dei;

cool to see an actual doctor talk about this;
I saw a doctor about my ai-induced psychosis and he pulled out chat gpt to help him

probably the least talked about story that will save potentially millions of lives;

Although fun fact, I'm inherently a universal donor... besides for people with really weird blood types

molten sky
i'm a universal donor as well.
not my fault if those other people's bodies are weak and don't want it
sinful moon
I wonder how many people even know their bloodtypes. Meanwhile it's a big thing in asian countries, mainly for silly psuedoscentific horrorscope like things
molten sky
i used to know mine but i forgot ,-,

and if it's not, they can find it out
grizzled sky
looked into it but the only versions of the article are videos;

Okay unironically the Metasploit ones are NASTY. But I did have fun and I did have all the knowledge needed by the last room ("Blue") to properly do it without much resistance

Do you use the AttackBox VMs or do you have your own Kali VM?
iron trellis
attackbox vms— i used to use my own kali vms a while back (years ago) but i stick to the attackbox vms now
i don't have any plans to use kali again, im fine with using attack boxes
or use kali in a vm rn anyways
proven shadow
I prefer hosting my own Kali VM for responsiveness-sake, but I am also cool with using the AttackBoxes if I need to. I was asking because something stumped the hell out of me last night while I was running through using Metasploit for the EternalBlue exploit.
It was because I forgot to set the LHOST (localhost) IP to the proper adapter that the OpenVPN connection uses
I was like WHY ISNT THIS WORKING
And then I realized and I died

How are you all reliably tracking newly disclosed zero-day CVEs? I’m specifically looking for sources that flag when a CVE is confirmed as a zero-day (exploited before a patch) and update quickly—ideally same day. NVD doesn’t provide a “zero-day” attribute, so I’m curious what feeds, tools, or workflows you rely on to filter or identify zero-days in near real time.

Where is the vuln?
A gambling sites mail server is configured to handle email for rbx365.com whcih is a domain owned by roblox. The server has SSL certificates for mail.rbx365.com and accepts email for @rbx365.com addresses
misty violet
What is the critical part of the issue?
Someone obtained legitimate SSL certificates for mail.rbx365.com and configured them on their gambling sites server, Roblox corporate domain shares mail infrastructure with an unauthorized gambling site targeting kids

Pointing a domain at someone else’s name servers doesn’t mean their servers are hosting it. Changing NS records on your side doesn’t magically create a DNS zone or a web server config on theirs.

I wouldn't think of it that way. That makes it sound like the actual practical skills are incidental and less important

Once I have the certs I will go back over it to bulk up my knowledge

Do you want a JOB or do you want to be a HACKER
eh that's a double-edged blade for me. While I would love to be a hacker and not care about landing a job quickly, currently I'm working in 2nd/3rd line IT support making the least in my team and marginally less than the base line in my country. I need a change fast so I get the people who are fast to say they're in it for the money, even tho I'm very passionate about the subject
primal blade

Yeah… I’ve spoken to a few places that are keen on hiring veterans ect, so hoping that will be an in to at least start getting experience and then from there I can move around if I have too, just can’t be picky atm

Yeah :/ well I'm looking for a good security analyst role right now and you have a job so I should probably ask you for advice
Honestly, stick to your track, it's great
Just learn SOME practical skills along the way too
velvet gull
true, practical skills are the most important imo. In my last company I had the opportunity to work alongside the SOC teams and collaborate with the ISM closely, as well as get some shadowings on work from detection/vulnerability teams so it's a matter of luck also how much real experience you can get, but THM and HTB definitely help a lot with gaining that without having the luck of a chill company open to exploring employees interests
split rampart
Poke around at a few thm machines. Try to finish two or three. Do a little packet sniffing with Wireshark on your home network. Set up some servers of your own and deploy software on them. Then do like one or two things to harden them. And you should learn some SOC stuff at least
velvet gull
and maybe set up a pihole or wazuh on your own network, that's a fun way to learn too
split rampart
I mean if someone did all that and a little teeny bit of programming and said am I a hacker, I'd probably say yeah, basically

In my experience it's pretty rare when someone likes both security and software enough to do both

i didn't even know much about security about a year ago! i went on an exchange semester and met a lot of cool tech people who introduced me to it

i plan to do a graduate degree in information security

Really fun project: build a full stack app and put in layers of security. MFA, protection against XSS and CSRF, sanitize inputs, do cool things like encrypt data before it goes in the database so hackers are SOL even if they compromise the db
mild shard
ohhh that's actually a good idea
in your experience, does hardening the applications make them slower or less responsive?
split rampart
Not in my experience at all
CSRF protection is just a few lines of code, ditto sanitized inputs. Maybe for a really big project that already has speed concerns, but nah. My last one was a PERN stack app with all the features I mentioned and it ran fine, no hitches
Full stack = FUN!!
mild shard
full stack is good
i looked into kiro today and it looks kinda cool btw

How to revise AD? I never really focused on it but I know the basics

CONGRATS!!!

Revise AD? What do you mean
sullen schooner
Revise AD? What do you mean
Active Directory and windows stuff
split rampart
Yeah but what do you mean by revise
sullen schooner
Like refresh the concepts for interview questions
split rampart
Oh
sullen schooner
Im assuming they'll focus on AD and windows fundamentals
split rampart
Well I would go ask Claude AI to give me a simple refresher on AD fundamentals and explain the situation
No one hit me please
Or you can skim the active directory course on htb

orrr you can get a refresher of thm rooms about AD/windows fundamentals

But what beyond the basics you already know do you think they're going to ask

But what beyond the basics you already know do you think they're going to ask
Well I'm still in college and they approached my college to hire freshers directly. My placement director said "it's an easy company and you all will crack it easily"
That's why I assumed it's some startup. So I'm blind
I just found out it's the altered security. I found the posting on LinkedIn
split rampart
Ask ClaudeAI. It'll tell you exactly what to do in exactly the language you need in your exact personal way you need it explained in your exact situation well you should probably ask ten people and get on Google

Yea
