general

[lusty bloom]

where did you hear that from ?

[signal kayak]

Like the distro

[gaunt basalt]

maybe its hackthebox trying to get the edge

[gaunt basalt]

nah just speculating

[lusty bloom]

imagine

[lusty bloom]

yeah, tbf thats a valid concern, but I dont think the 502 is because of a ddos?

however right now their vpns seem to be down, at least for eu

the ips themselves

what distro are you on, and do you have a built binary in a build directory or something like that

you just said you know the basics, knowing what distro you have, and looking at the filesystem is not really an advanced thing to do

let me know if you want me to help you

[rapid merlin]

I'm calling a friend to help you.

[lusty bloom]

you dont have strip installed

and you have a read only file system

thats fine, do you know what distro you have?

[lusty bloom]

real

bro gotta start vibe hacking

[rapid merlin]

Use that A.I

A.I

Claude .ai is your friend

[lusty bloom]

no, ai is ai. chatgpt.com or gemini or claude

but yeah, claude is probably what I would recommend most in this case

[rapid merlin]

For technical problem and coding i introduce you to claude.

[lusty bloom]

yeah

why are you trying to do tryhackme on a phone with termux?

or install hydra

hydra is made for linux so those make commands are not gonna work on termux

just do what benadetta suggested and try using ai if you really wanna use hydra on your phone

you might be able to, if it supports arm

I don't really have time to help you install hydra on termux

[sturdy sequoia]

i run hydra on a raspberry pi so there is arm support

[lusty bloom]

yeah, I assumed so

[high torrent]

for those who have an issue with the region in thm

[lusty bloom]

got this pop up yesterday

but that could be the reason

[high torrent]

All eu servers for thm are down

[steel aspen]

For some reason my 5.0GHz wifi isn't connecting to stuff but 2.4GHz is

[high torrent]

this is possibly a bug from the improvements they made

[marsh lark]

or an eu problem

[steel aspen]

It's saying it's connected with internet access but pages aren't loading

[finite basalt]

I'm thinking about my local sandwich shop

Chicken in ranch, lettuce, tomato, capers, long hots and hot honey 🤤

[velvet gull]

Hiya, with?

[high torrent]

Just finished the security engineer path that contains 31 rooms in under 3 days!!!!!🎉

[rapid merlin]

Hey guys, genuine question. Anyone feel like their health has declined since they started doing cybersecurity?

[velvet gull]

Physical health? Or mental?

[lusty bloom]

or both 🤔

[velvet gull]

Sometimes it do be feeling like I'm crazy when nothing works

But it passes

[rapid merlin]

I just feel lazy

[rapid merlin]

Solved a couple of rooms and I'm instantly satisfied, gotta hit the hay. Brain's basically telling me to snooze: 'Okay, tomorrow's problem.'

[molten mango]

Whenever I get stuck in a CTF, I watch a walkthrough. Is that a good practice?

[marsh lark]

its good practice to look just a bit where you are stuck, get a hint from a walkthrough, and learn from it

[molten mango]

@marsh lark That’s a good point. Using walkthroughs just for hints keeps the learning part intact. Thanks!

with knowing

what OS to install on my linux OS

Parrot or Kali

because I wanna be able to use all the tools to hack/ protect

[radiant furnace]

Sup guys.

both parrot and kali.

[merry saddle]

VM or local drive ?

I get a error message saying bash

and basicly it won't boot into the installer

so it seems my system won't allow parrot OS or Kali

[radiant furnace]

vm if you're prepping for exams. try local drive too, it works best, for say wireless attacks?

[merry saddle]

dunno

I am trying to understand the OS interface

and tools

to me cybersecurity doesn't make much sense

[finite basalt]

I agree, a hotdog is in fact a sandwich, a taco is a sandwich and a burger is a sandwich

[acoustic crystal]

[radiant furnace]

oh, actually it doesn't matter whixh os distro then, I prefer kali tho.

Or anything really

[finite basalt]

I just got copilot to agree that it is reasonable to consider pasta bread

on the premise that both have flour and water as a core, bread doesn't require yeast (for wraps/tortillas), dumplings are a form of bread and therefore bread can be boiled just as pasta can and with lasagna you bake the pasta as you would with bread 🤣

[lost pelican]

You can make copilot be your dead grandma easily for just telling everything ur grandma knew.

[tall stag]

i mean

i was learned some things from chatgpt

but did no do anything on web like test or wtvr

[celest ocean]

learning from AI is such a bad idea as a newbie

because you won't know when it hallucinates

[tall stag]

then yall i open flag for advice

[velvet gull]

You might have learned a lot of lies then lol

Open tryhackme.com learning paths and start from there. Very good!

okay

I turned it into .cur and it corrupted sizes

I don't want to be "that guy" but google it and you'll find how

Wait I'll look for a vid

[sleek hare]

I did

no helpy helpy

it corrupts

look

should be like cursor.png

but you see what happens

[rapid merlin]

You want to put it in your windows cursor or in your webpage

bro see it in youtub a guy made a link and if anyone click on it the person will get ip

[narrow yew]

@rapid merlin then you press the small X to remove the embeed

[sleek hare]

if(scene) scene.style.cursor = "url('{{ asset('assets/icons/cursor.png') }}'), auto";

[narrow yew]

so we dont have to see a massive image

[sleek hare]

I did both like that

and using css

#game-scene, #game-scene * { cursor: url('{{ asset('assets/icons/cursor.png') }}'), auto; }
.game-btn:hover, .game-btn:focus { cursor: url('{{ asset('assets/icons/pointer.png') }}'), pointer; }

I did also on body

nothing works

but when I do that

with some random cursors

from internet

on .cur format

it works

[narrow yew]

bring that crap to DM, save us from walls of text about nothing

[sleek hare]

about cursor

[sleek hare]

well

look damm thing

it works with other images

If you are not doing it now and making money, its hard to get good living from it.

Meeh no

[merry saddle]

I do not know how to find bugs

Because I do not understand coding

Coding for me is like wtf ?

[high torrent]

learn coding

Just change in the pocket sure, I made around 3k last year on Bug bounty, but I do work full time and have 3 kids. So I don't put the time in

Start with networking programming and Linux

python is easy

Coding is shit

you dont need to know code, that is true

[merry saddle]

You can script with gpt

[lethal niche]

im under 18 i cannot drink

[rapid merlin]

Its actually not that hard, just take it step by step to learn

coding

[rapid merlin]

You don't need but you need to understand how code work to able to break it

[merry saddle]

I tried

[narrow yew]

This is what be the reason to why you dont work in cyber

[rapid merlin]

It takes time

[rapid merlin]

you're too late go get a beer rn

[merry saddle]

And contacted the guy from code academy

The ceo

[rapid merlin]

Try again, and again, and again

[merry saddle]

Told him that I do not understand syntax

[rapid merlin]

Its not a one shot kind of thing, its a muscle

And he told me to take step by step

But I still don't get it

[rapid merlin]

Syntax you have to know in your sleep

Still too slow for coding

Too slow man

[rapid merlin]

No it is cool go and get some right now

Bro its A.I era now

Its a dummy excuse

[high torrent]

just use chatgpt to help you bro just learn how to read and understand code

I have a friend with all that, he creates labs for pentestlabs. He's one of the best coders I know also. But he cant have a full time job.

you need to be at the level that fits you

why is he not baned

[merry saddle]

Is Garuda linux useful?

[rapid merlin]

And really even if you didi, you have know coding to check the code validity

[forest tulip]

It's def recommended to know code in someway or fashion. If you don't know coding, it's gonna be hard for you to manipulate code or write your code for whatever you want. Let's not teach people that script kiddies are okay. Or get in the habit of vibe coding and still have no idea if AI gave you exactly what you want

[narrow yew]

just report it

[rapid merlin]

Thanks for this

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @forest tulip (current: #3279 - 1)

[rapid merlin]

Why what did I do

[merry saddle]

Only 30 million people on the globe know how to code

How much is 30 millions?

In terms of %

Ofc coding is hard

If only 30 know it well

[high torrent]

bro it doesnt matter how much you dont need to know how to write just understand code

[rapid merlin]

There is always a requirement for all sorts of coders

[narrow yew]

you type the same way as wall of text guy

[marsh lark]

0.375%

[rapid merlin]

Start little by little and if doesn't work out for you it's okay to just change your career path it's never too late

[merry saddle]

The thing is

I hate coding

Pasionally speaking

[forest tulip]

Absolutely, learn as much coding as you can, you'll def be better off then the others

[narrow yew]

Dont do coding then

Simple

[merry saddle]

So learning it , will be impossible

When i try learning code

[rapid merlin]

Exactly what I am doing

[merry saddle]

My brain is like, I should play video gamss

Likes cs go 2

Or dota w

[high torrent]

can you work under pressure?

[merry saddle]

Instead of learning code

[celest ocean]

you can both game and code

[rapid merlin]

Initial passion is a bad advice. Become passionate from mastery

[narrow yew]

Don't do code if its not for you, no reason and you wil get bored and loose interest.

[rapid merlin]

You just need to focus then

We are being socially engineered

You have to learn in free time

[celest ocean]

you missed the full stop /j

[merry saddle]

I have memroy issues

For me any job that requires good memory

Fucks my performance by a lot

Its adding to much stress

[rapid merlin]

Because you read once, and then leave it.

[merry saddle]

I hate to roleplay

[rapid merlin]

You have to read it next day, next week and so on

[merry saddle]

Meaning to behave in a specific way so people would percieve me in a more likable approuch

[rapid merlin]

Look up "spaced repettition"

[merry saddle]

I hate acting

[rapid merlin]

In cyber is essential

[merry saddle]

So most jobs wont fit with me

Psychatrist told me

To avoid real people

Work from home

[lethal niche]

w

[high torrent]

tbh you can be an ai prompt engineer

[celest ocean]

are there real jobs for prompt engineering

[merry saddle]

I usually read badly

[lethal niche]

go out side

[celest ocean]

w discord therapy

[merry saddle]

Did you ever used

Fedora based ?

Os

I was thinking to completly transition from windows

I do not trust microsoft

Due to privacy concerns

[celest ocean]

you shouldn't trust any giant corp

[slender current]

chat what is the best book about Social engineering

[merry saddle]

Well linux

Is open source right

Which means its made up by it professionals ?

[lethal niche]

i use fedora suqrity

[merry saddle]

I mean people like you?

Right

[slender current]

Linux is kernel ig

[celest ocean]

it's open source but that's not what it means, but it's also not false lol

[merry saddle]

Kernel is used for all OS

Including Mac ?

As far as I know

[rapid merlin]

Sun Tzu's The Art of War

[ruby plinth]

cisco networking academy geekin bruh

[merry saddle]

Open source

Also means that a hacker ?

Can change the OS

Or not really

Or changes to kernel need to be approved ?

By a team of people

[rapid merlin]

why

[merry saddle]

But if all linux distros ?

Are kernel based ? Right

Why are there Debian, Fedora, Arch?

[ruby plinth]

keeps sayin "We cannot save your progress click here to save your progress" and then it just keeps telling me to refresh

turned off my vpn

still doing it

[merry saddle]

I mean they all use the same kernel ?

[lethal niche]

you are not baned who are you

[tired wolf]

no

just about every other distro’s kernel is a linux fork

[celest ocean]

the kernel is a fundamental part of OS, and yes, all OS have kernels. it's the best if you learn it properly, as explaining the whole thing on discord isn't going to cut it

since you're in a cyber server, consider using the learning path on THM, as that covers a lot of the similar topics

[rapid merlin]

do they have any good certs for professional level? my uni have some relationship with them and i can get any cert for free

[rapid merlin]

why do you hate me

[rapid merlin]

There is easy room right now called 'Advent Cyber' to motivate you to learn cyber security

[lethal niche]

ok ok i feel bad now

[rapid merlin]

go check it out now and stop confusing yourself

[ruby plinth]

Cisco has a lot of good certs imo, I'm just starting out but they are heavily respected, THM was another one re-recommended to me for the basics to network engineering

THM is also starting to get a little more recognition from the job market

[lethal niche]

sorry

[ruby plinth]

to resubscribe or not resubscribe

that is the question

[merry saddle]

The problem is that

I have a lot of debt

[rapid merlin]

give me an exemple of a good cert

[merry saddle]

This year i spent over 7000 euros/$

I need to find a way to make money

And spent less

Because my dad is gonna die

So

I gotta do something with my finances.

[lethal niche]

did anyone now how to make your own os

[ruby plinth]

CCNA CCNP and CCIE come to mind

[merry saddle]

As far as i know

[ruby plinth]

CCNA's like your entry tho

[high torrent]

cancel all useless subscriptions

[merry saddle]

You need to invest money

To learn cybersecurity

[ruby plinth]

gng what

[merry saddle]

Cause certifications that lend jobs costs money

[rapid merlin]

are they security or network

[ionic oyster]

Anyone here new to Computer Sciences?
Or does'nt know the fundamentals.

[ruby plinth]

All network

[merry saddle]

And i do not have money to pay for certifications

[ruby plinth]

But security plays a role into all of them

[merry saddle]

That I am not even able go pass

[ruby plinth]

What is a network if not secure,

I plan to get my associates in Cyber Security, with my bachelors in networking

[ionic oyster]

What is going on here lol

[ruby plinth]

W Navy for giving out free associates degrees without touching my GI Bill,

[rapid merlin]

Nobody knows lol

[rapid merlin]

if cybersecurity is not your thing just change you career it's not late
ma personally i used to study economics and i hated it so i changed to IT and it was the best decision ever

[ruby plinth]

I planned to be a mechanical engiener

🤷‍♂️

[tired wolf]

cybersecurity career wise has been easy as hell for me

[marsh lark]

lucky

[ionic oyster]

Do you have experience in this field?

[ruby plinth]

You really just have to relate things to ways you understand

[rapid merlin]

i planned to be economics expert

[ruby plinth]

I work with high pressure steam and pneumatic systems all day

I relate alot of this to that,

[rapid merlin]

depends on the country

[ruby plinth]

And it makes sense,

[rapid merlin]

i started last year and i recently got my first internship in this field

[tired wolf]

notice “for me”

[rapid merlin]

Everyone want to give advice but can't apply for themselves

[rapid merlin]

you too

[tired wolf]

i do this cuz i love it

and the interviewers see that

[merry saddle]

I already have a bachelor's in business admin

[rapid merlin]

I admit

[ruby plinth]

I bounce back and forth tbh I thought mechanical engineering, and then I saw the calculus they do, noped right tf out 💀

Could go back into law enforcement,

[ionic oyster]

There is battlefield goin on Rn lol

[merry saddle]

Bachelor's in economics , major in Business Administration in english

[tired wolf]

preach what you practice, for real

[merry saddle]

IELTS 7 band, C1 advanced speaker

Now doing master's in cyber

In english

[rapid merlin]

why did you change and didn't go more into it

[ionic oyster]

That why i've money to the internet

[merry saddle]

Because I gave up on all jobs @rapid merlin

[ionic oyster]

keep goin

[merry saddle]

I was not able to learn in economics

Too much attention to detail

[ruby plinth]

So is cyber security

😭

[merry saddle]

Accounting, private equity

Fund investment

Liquidity

[tired wolf]

seems like you should focus on one thing, nothing is impossible when you dedicate your life to it

[ionic oyster]

I am an OSCP professional and have 2 years of experience in the pentesting field.

[merry saddle]

Yea

I do better when my only task is singular

[ionic oyster]

I just wanna help freshers

[merry saddle]

Meaning I can only focus on 1 thing a day

I can't do 2 things in a day

I can only do 1

[tired wolf]

you set the limitations

[merry saddle]

So what job is good for people that can only do thing ?

[tired wolf]

cashier

[ionic oyster]

You can do but it's likewise career advice ig

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/wild-wild-country-osho-gif-11630711

[merry saddle]

Look i know myself pretty well

And my brain is very unfunctional

Even with drugs

So

[ruby plinth]

Well pro tip

stop doing drugs

[ionic oyster]

xd

[merry saddle]

Even drugs can't help the brain to be ballanced

Because There are too many diagnoses

[ruby plinth]

gng wut

😭

[merry saddle]

When you have adhd , anxiety , depressions , autism

Its too much

[tired wolf]

seems like you should retire, considering 80% of the workforce can out-do you

[merry saddle]

Even for doctors

[ruby plinth]

plot twist

I have 3 out of four of those

Unmedicated

and do a lot in a day

[merry saddle]

When I was 18

In highschool

[rapid merlin]

idk but did you try to do sports and go outside and socialize and get out of your comfort zone

[merry saddle]

I was like, employee's are suckers

I wanna be a boss

A ceo , director and the guy who leads

[ruby plinth]

It's not even sports to deal w the adhd

you just kinda learn to leverage it

[merry saddle]

That was my mentality before uni

Why not work for me ?

[ruby plinth]

in Corrections I was a god at finding shit

[rapid merlin]

You oversharing your life bro

[ruby plinth]

J gotta know how to use it

[rapid merlin]

but helps with anxiety and autism and depression

[merry saddle]

True

I will try cybersecurity till 1 February 2026

If I can't make money from it

I will give up

[ruby plinth]

Depression tbh idk different for everyone, anxiety depends on what type

autism couldnt tell ya

Sensory disorder

[tired wolf]

i dont understand your lack of patience dude

[merry saddle]

It's not about depression

[tired wolf]

i cant

[rapid merlin]

i don't think 4 months will be enough

[merry saddle]

But if I can't find solutions

And the solutions arent simple

[ruby plinth]

Gng the tech market is VOLATILE

[merry saddle]

I get angry and give up

[ruby plinth]

Especially rn

[rapid merlin]

Bro you should start now

[ruby plinth]

You need to be patient

[merry saddle]

I hate problems

And I love solutions

If there is no solutions

I leave and say bye

Next

[ruby plinth]

Then innovate solutions

That's what 99% of jobs like this are

is problem solving

[merry saddle]

To me its about staying as efficient and effective as possible

[ruby plinth]

1% "Did you try turning it off and on again?"

[rapid merlin]

You make problem & you sell solution

[merry saddle]

How much time are we wasting

[rapid merlin]

100% of jobs

[merry saddle]

Vs how much time does it take to do this and this

If im just losing time

Then the ROI is negative

So it's better to give up

[ruby plinth]

No

Idk who gave you that mentality

but wrong

That is EXACTLY, when you dig your heels in and find a solution

[merry saddle]

Ok

[ruby plinth]

That's what your being paid to do

[merry saddle]

Real question

How can I secure my Linux?

For instance how do I know , that my OS is secure ?

[ruby plinth]

Nothing is ever truly 100% secure

[merry saddle]

I am using Fedora distro

[rapid merlin]

what do you think about my new profile pic

[merry saddle]

Have you heard of Garuda ?

The firewall and network

Like gateways, and set the right ports

[rapid merlin]

Pro tip finish owasp top 10 room while listening to Luigi Boccherini - Minuet - String Quintet you'll feel like rich man

[merry saddle]

As far as. I know

Linux doesn't have a antivirus

Like windows

So I wanna make my own antivirus.

Software

[ruby plinth]

gng you are

everywhere

lock in

[silver hornet]

[ruby plinth]

We've went from OS Security, to Networking to Security, to now creating an antivirus

Pick one, learn the basics, then specialize, learn further from there.

[rapid merlin]

complete the basics don't jump straight into final bosses

[rapid merlin]

what do you think about my profile pic

[merry saddle]

For example I wanna understand why should I create a separate user from my admin / root user

I heard is good on Linux

[ruby plinth]

It's good on any O/S

[merry saddle]

If you use it on a local harddrive

To always use a user that is not root

[rapid merlin]

privilege separation

[merry saddle]

Is it hard to configure ?

[ruby plinth]

No

[merry saddle]

If I ask chat gpt. Can i 100% trust

Because chat gpt sometimes makes errors

And that can nuke my OS

[rapid merlin]

if you care so much about privacy use tails linux

[merry saddle]

I tried parrot

And could not install it

[ruby plinth]

Just learn it, theres really no other way to answer your question then to tell you to just learn it

[merry saddle]

Due to nvidia Noveau drivers

[rapid merlin]

tails linux is the most secure os ever

[merry saddle]

Somehow Nvidia hates hackers

Or kali linux

Or parrot

Dunno but nvidia is shit

I hate them now

[ruby plinth]

cries in 4090

[merry saddle]

Tails is good with usb stick

[reef kayak]

Hi guys, I need some information if I don't bother you too much. Next year I would like to study computer science at university, to then start studying cybersecurity. Do you happen to have any advice for me? Like what should I start studying, what programming languages ​​do I need to know etc...

[merry saddle]

Dunno if its good for using it daily

[rapid merlin]

it only works with usb

[ruby plinth]

Python, and a little bit of SQL

[rapid merlin]

no it deletes everything the moment you unplug the usb

[rapid merlin]

start by the most important 3; networking, programming, linux and then you can enter security

[rapid merlin]

Bro use virtual machine

[ruby plinth]

OSI Model, TCP/IP, Authorization Protocols etc.

OSI Model is key

it is the way

[merry saddle]

So my plan is

To use a linux

On my main disk

And make it more secure

Then windows

Is it possible ?

Or hard

[ruby plinth]

You want two different OS's on the same device?

[merry saddle]

So i can use a firewall device

Between my router ?

And my PC

[rapid merlin]

Dual boot

[ruby plinth]

god please no

[merry saddle]

I heard people use extra firewalls

Between router and PC

Like another thingy that you plug in network cables

[ruby plinth]

I'd imagine you can assign a different OS to an individual storage device and then just select which one from your BIOS menu you want to run from.

(My reminder to purchase another 2TB NVME drive)

[merry saddle]

Yea i hace that

Have the menu yes

How much storage

[ruby plinth]

For what?

[merry saddle]

Do you recommand me to buy

So far i have a 1 terra

[rapid merlin]

You said earlier you have mental health problem, and now u want to mess up with partitions and storage configuration

[ruby plinth]

Depends on what you want to do,

[merry saddle]

And a 260 gb ssd sata 3.0

I also have 1 terra of HDD

[rapid merlin]

Bro

[ruby plinth]

I have games on my personal desktop so I run through about 1TB

HDD, make it stop

NVME is the way

[merry saddle]

Yea

[ruby plinth]

Samsung NVME

[lucid wasp]

tcpdump is so hard ;'}

[rapid merlin]

Stick to virtual machine

[ruby plinth]

flashbacks

https://tenor.com/view/vietnam-flashback-traumatized-cat-gif-7852054576948114551

[merry saddle]

On ?

[tired elk]

Bro dual boot is good or VM??

[merry saddle]

Windows or linuz

[rapid merlin]

Its not hard its boring to understand

[merry saddle]

Is it harder to run Vms

[ruby plinth]

VM would be better tbh

[merry saddle]

On linux ?

[ruby plinth]

If you want to select a diff OS and have your system secure

[tired wolf]

(no)

[spare scroll]

I js did an bios update on my laptop and my display isn't starting, neither keyboard only fan and power light turns on..
I opened the laptop to reset CMOS but still not solved
Can sm1 help?

[ruby plinth]

Because you can generally contain whatever in that VM

[ruby plinth]

sob

[ruby plinth]

did you try turning it off and turning it back on again?

[spare scroll]

Yes

[ruby plinth]

Out of ideas

cant help you

[spare scroll]

Alr

[rapid merlin]

sorry wrong reaction

[ruby plinth]

If its a bios update call the manufacturer id imagine

[tired elk]

I need both window and linux and if i install my main desktop as Linux and window in VM???

[ruby plinth]

and ask them to walk you through it

[lucid wasp]

Benadetta, where are you from? I don’t usually see MLBB characters pfp here lol.

[rapid merlin]

From country where so many dark system

[lucid wasp]

????

[merry saddle]

I heard i can also make a server

[tired elk]

??

[rapid merlin]

Indonesia

[merry saddle]

Right

So i can make a server

That can secure my connections

Dunno

[ruby plinth]

did someone say server

😻

[merry saddle]

Yea servers

Like use a PC

[ruby plinth]

Server for what

[merry saddle]

24/7

[spare scroll]

Okay thanks

[merry saddle]

For security , like identifing traffic

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @ruby plinth (current: #2151 - 2)

[ruby plinth]

pog

[merry saddle]

I wanna build a AI

That basicly instantly spots

[ruby plinth]

gng

[merry saddle]

Wierd connections

[ruby plinth]

what

[merry saddle]

Yea

[marsh lark]

that needs coding

[rapid merlin]

you said u hate coding

[ruby plinth]

Plot twist,, software for this already exists

[rapid merlin]

HAHAHHAHAHA

[ruby plinth]

Cisco Packet Tracer,

Wireshark

[merry saddle]

A AI that spots 24/7

[ruby plinth]

NMAp

[merry saddle]

All connections

[ruby plinth]

the list gos on

[loud marlin]

why don't you invent new universe ?

[merry saddle]

Ok but lets say i sleep

[ruby plinth]

Then you leave it to the next person

[merry saddle]

Is there a AI that can take action ?

[ruby plinth]

No

Nothing will take action on your behalf

Because one thats a nightmare to deal with

[rapid merlin]

You wanna build A.I you need atleast know fundamental of machine learning

[merry saddle]

Ok

[marsh lark]

and coding

[ruby plinth]

Two it's unreliable tech atm

[loud marlin]

• math and all of that

[rapid merlin]

spartus just stop yapping and start hacking

[ruby plinth]

Everything can be traced ona network already, you just need to learn to leverage the tools you have, which isnt complicated tbh

You can configure wireshark p easily

CISCO Packet tracer I'm still playing with

[merry saddle]

I see

[rapid merlin]

I want to say this from beginning but i can't hurt his feelings

[merry saddle]

What browser do you use ? For privacy

[ruby plinth]

hes gotta b shitposting atp

[merry saddle]

People say a lot about firefoz

Firefox

And tor is based on firefox

[lucid wasp]

LOL, check your dm

[rapid merlin]

brave browser

[merry saddle]

Oh ok

I also use brave.

[lucid wasp]

same

[ruby plinth]

j add vpn to chrome

call it a day

or duck duck go

[merry saddle]

Xd

[rapid merlin]

No I don't talk to discord its very risky

privately

[lucid wasp]

whyy???

[ionic oyster]

Because someone gonna expose

[ruby plinth]

lets see if cisco networking academy works again 🥺

[ionic oyster]

what's wrong with you?

[rapid merlin]

brave doesn't hide youe search from your nsp

[ruby plinth]

POG

[ionic oyster]

There are free cources outside you can check it out.

[ruby plinth]

it works

[chilly veldt]

DUH DUH DUH DUH, MAX VERSTAPPEN

[lucid wasp]

Expose what? I’m just curious because they have an MLBB character as their profile picture.

[merry saddle]

What i tried to do on linux

[lucid wasp]

alrght NP

[merry saddle]

Was trying to mod games

[ruby plinth]

nope still broken

[merry saddle]

Bro trust me

[ruby plinth]

im gonna cry

[merry saddle]

Modding games on linux is hard

[ionic oyster]

Chill guys you can ask me in private xd

[merry saddle]

I tried to install 4000 mods on skyrim

Using linux

Guess what ?

[chilly veldt]

mclaren got disqualified so free points for max

[ruby plinth]

make the shitposting stop

I beg

[ionic oyster]

What's wrong with you?

[merry saddle]

It did not work because of dependecies

That windows use

[ruby plinth]

Cisco networking academy broken atm

[merry saddle]

So linux wont be able to run the scripts

[ionic oyster]

Dm me i can give you the free learning material

[merry saddle]

Lets say

You complete all certifications in regards to cyber?

Will you get a job offer

[rapid merlin]

Welcome to the world of false positives

[ruby plinth]

no

[merry saddle]

Because you got all certifications ?

Completed ?

Yes or no

[ionic oyster]

No

[ruby plinth]

Not on your certs alone

[rapid merlin]

no such things as all certifications completed

[ruby plinth]

The grind never stops 😤

[rapid merlin]

1 or two good certs is enough

[ionic oyster]

[rich bolt]

hey

[rapid merlin]

You have to know what you wanna do in cyber

[rich bolt]

good evening , guys

[merry saddle]

Yo mate

I will add you

And if you want we can talk on VC

[ruby plinth]

CCNP, CCIE or it didnt happen
