Followed the river towards freedom

[slow cloud]

i went from paper route -> supermarket -> IT

[mint palm]

Most of those are “dead” applications from people with 0 qualifications, you can always try. It is quite of a good market currently, especially that many financial institutions are hiring

[marsh lark]

you deserved a vaca

have fun!

[velvet gull]

well i'm technically a millenial but i've got a gen z sister so I'm a mix of both worlds

Unhinged cybersec challenge of the day:

Malware analysis with no VM

[velvet gull]

I had a SOC analyst in my previous company run a fake Chrome installer

on a client provided laptop

😄

it was sent to an external company for forensic analysis. When our ISM asked him to give the company his password so they can get the data, he declined saying that this would be a data breach

SD had to reset the pwd and provide it to the company

funny times

[slow cloud]

a seperate laptop 👍

I can connect to the VPN without issues, but after I start a machine, I cannot access the target IP address. The machine runs, but the IP does not open at all.
Could you please help me understand what’s wrong and how to fix it?

[loud marlin]

when you connect to thm vpn, in other terminal run curl 10.10.10.10/whoami and do you get respond

[dark wolf]

[slow cloud]

this is usually the pizza i get

[chilly veldt]

same type of pizza, just with salad on top, cause eat your greens

[dark wolf]

[slow cloud]

i thought they used rj45?

[wicked glen]

Where is the pineapple?

[dark wolf]

What do hackers use to access a system? A computer!

[slow cloud]

if i get pizza from the supermarket its usually pineapple pizza

sadly no pineapple on that one

[wicked glen]

It can be good if done properly

[slow cloud]

its always good

[dark wolf]

Don't think I've ever seen someone mention liking pineapple on pizza without some random person having a mental breakdown

[strong fjord]

Anchovies

[dark wolf]

ewwwwwwwwww

[strong fjord]

Anchovies pineapple combo

[dark wolf]

I poured the anchovie juice on hte pizza when people orderd it

[leaden relic]

Ok
My problem is that i saw Black Friday offer this morning and it was supposed to end in 3 days

But I'm not finding this offer now

[old canopy]

?

[dark wolf]

To get support, buy some swag, the more swag you buy, the more support you get!

[velvet gull]

it was bugged so they took it down

[velvet gull]

will be back soon

[loud marlin]

i just love ssd usb sticks

[celest dirge]

Okay, now that logic makes sense

[leaden relic]

Will it come back again?

yes, after they fix it

Oh damn, that's a bit pricy

https://tenor.com/view/mine-count-gif-17593711340376075301

[leaden relic]

Wow did they fix it

I got the offer

[old canopy]

i couldnt believe my eyes tbh

my cpu and motherboard ugprade is only 340€

how is the ram alone more worth then my upgrade...

[velvet gull]

yeah probably, if it's up then they must've fixed whatever was bugged

[celest dirge]

Honestly, I would just search for alternative marketplaces, much less expensive.

[leaden relic]

But wait
I visited THM via link in LinkedIn then i found the offer
But i opened chrome Right now and didn't find it💀

What is this

[boreal scarab]

I still really want this https://www.microcenter.com/product/661180/elgato-stream-deck-black-edition

[loud marlin]

what you need about yubi ?

[boreal scarab]

Do you use the bio version or regular version?

[loud marlin]

nat bio. normal yubi 5 fips

https://www.yubico.com/nl/product/yubikey-5-fips-series/yubikey-5c-nfc-fips/

[boreal scarab]

ahhh

Why does everyone hate on the bio?

[celest dirge]

You don't see this?

[loud marlin]

idk. kinda not the thing. i use that one. and i like it

[leaden relic]

Unfortunately no

I'm in Egypt

[velvet gull]

they could be rolling it out slowly per region, or didnt roll out in regions where the bug is still present

i'd wait, maybe check tomorrow

[loud marlin]

@boreal scarab and if you think of buy it. buy 2x

[rapid merlin]

What's the bug

[velvet gull]

no clue, I just know they took the promo down cause of it

[loud marlin]

there is no way back if you bonk one (what will be shocked if you do)

[boreal scarab]

I feel like it's an extra layer of security. You got the Email/ username: that's 1, Yubikey: that's 2, Fingerprint: That's 3

[loud marlin]

and you can't even upgrade firmware.

[boreal scarab]

You have my email and yubikey? Ok, that's fine, you don't have my fingerprint

[loud marlin]

let me take some pic of app

[rapid merlin]

Why are osint users annoying fr

[boreal scarab]

There is always a way!

[rapid merlin]

They leak my info all over the internet

How can i prevent this from happening again

[boreal scarab]

The fuck did you just call me?

[rapid merlin]

Sorry i didnt mean you

A bunch of people who called themselves osint users leak my information

How can i prevent this from happening again

Tbh i dont know anything about cybersecurity

[boreal scarab]

Well, as someone who does OSINT, what they're doing is considered OSINT, but malicious.

I can gather information on people, but that is between me and that person, no one else.

[rapid merlin]

How do i protect myself form all that

Nowadays there are many indians osint users

[celest dirge]

https://youtu.be/-r_2a064dWY?si=_WoOwjNZ_VbA0_tF

Goes both ways

[boreal scarab]

Oh Indian, @gray sonnet I don't know y'alls convoluted laws or sites to remove data on the web.

[high torrent]

Strong passwords, dont reuse passwords, dont make yourself a big target, dont share any information.

[boreal scarab]

https://pentester.com/
This is 0day's site, he deletes data from data brokers, but not sure if he does Indian based, I know he does US based data brokers

[radiant bloom]

@loud marlin Please slow down. Further spam will result in a short timeout.

[rapid merlin]

Ok

[boreal scarab]

Yah @loud marlin , dumbass

[celest dirge]

What you post, share, say online leaves, anything online leaves a digital footprint.
Be cautious on anything you do online, and make sure to keep your accounts secure
using MFA, and have backups (emails/storage/online storage) if anything.

[high torrent]

rule 1

[pine bison]

It was bugged earlier so they had to remove it but its back now

@leaden relic

It's tempting but I think it will just distract me from my htb modules. Maybe next year

[boreal scarab]

Also, as a general note, here's some things to follow:

Don't leak your name, last name, address and such online, even facebook, instagram, delete it or make that shit not public.

When you post pictures, DO NOT POST PICS WHILE YOU ARE STILL ON VACATION or away from your house. When you do take pics, have NOTHING that says where you are, the restaurant, amusement park, your town. You can take pictures for yourself of those things to remember it, but when you post it, get a dif pic.

Even if you post something small like a reasurant name, we can tirelessly hunt that down

[boreal scarab]

1. No mini Modding

[pine bison]

Oh yeah. Btw, there was a famous person here in Philippines.. she found AI version if her own child circulating in the web. Crazy.

People are very weird nowadayys

[muted storm]

wth that's cheaper than the student discount

[pine bison]

yes sir. Take advantage of it now if you're willing to learn.

[muted storm]

i already have the student one

🤣

the 40% off on their SAL1 was tempting too

[leaden relic]

Yeah i noticed
Thanks❤️

[celest dirge]

75 USD a year is a steal icl

[long summit]

hello guys, i'm kinda stuck in a weird spot. i'm just starting my cybersec journey and i really love red-team/pentesting, but the more stuff i try the more i realize i like everything — traffic analysis, web hacking, wifi hacking, forensics, even ai. and i feel like that’s not great cuz i should probably pick 1–2 things if i wanna get good at something fast.
i did a couple months of HTB grinding, now i'm doing CCNA and i’m finally seeing how skipping basics was a huge mistake. so rn i’m trying to go slow and steady. the plan is to focus on blue team for a bit since it’s easier to land a SOC job, then move into red-team later. i'd love to jump straight into red, but i feel like being a solid defender first will make me a better pentester anyway.

[pine bison]

It varies per country.

[long summit]

Now I'm tempted to start again with the basics on THM since HTB is kinda harder and I wanted to know your opinion

[celest dirge]

I'm really lucky in my country, that's for sure!

[burnt bolt]

Just finished the Wreath room, Marked as easy, Wow it's intense, I need a Holiday!

[pine bison]

Everyone will always have a different take on what is best.. blue -> red , red -> blue? I guess it won't really matter. From a practical stand point, you would get a job faster on blue team (SOC).

[pine bison]

you haven't seen mine

[celest dirge]

?????

Which country, there's no way

[celest dirge]

Also, since no one responded to this; If you're interested in many topics, there's nothing wrong learning each and every one one of them, no need to pressure yourself trying to focus on only one domain, it's normal to shift between topics, so long as you see them through.

As for red and blue teaming, it goes both ways

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Applies to both sides.

[distant robin]

Amen to that

[long summit]

damn that's wise, I guess that I just need a well structured roadmap, and I think that I'll start with THM so I can really get the basics and try some HTB later

[dark wolf]

HTB is post grad lol

[pine bison]

Learning a lot of things is better ON SOME THINGS, BAD ON OTHERS. Just think about how much impact can you make learning one thing or learning many things in CYBERSEC

[celest dirge]

For me, HTB is like your uncle throwing you at the deep end of the pool as way to teach you how to swim

[pine bison]

HAHAHAHA real

I think HTB would be hard IF you don't have a good grasp of fundamentals.

It's not impossible, it would just be hard.

And THM is very good at explaining fundamentals.

[long summit]

I'm thinking at the exact same thing, that's why I feel like a should choose one for my career, and of course I can still learn some other tricks as a hobby. But now I'm wondering in what should I master

[celest dirge]

Yeah, SOC 1 and 2 would be a great intro to HTBs SOC Paths

[pine bison]

Nowadays, i think the best option is to be Practical. I love pentesting but if I would pursue it as a career, i'll definitely go for SOC first then build from there.

[long summit]

LOL, it;s that much of a difference?

[high torrent]

Hack the box humbled me

i did 15 rooms in a day in thm and couldnt even finish two in htb

[celest dirge]

They assume you have prior knowledge.

[pine bison]

REAL. And it's not even saying THM boxes is bad. It's just that THM boxes is more of a CTF Setup whereas HTB is realism

[celest dirge]

Besides that, expect a lot of researching

[ruby plinth]

If this mf breaks one more time im gonna geek

Please shoot me

[celest dirge]

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Maybe rub bacon on it?

[ruby plinth]

Unfortunately the problem is it turned itself off

And now it won’t turn back on

🥹

Your tax dollars hard at work

[long summit]

Totally agree, that's what I'm trying to do know but I need a better CV and someone to put a good word for me because the market is dead

[ruby plinth]

One of 9 A/C plants

[celest dirge]

Damn, that thing is working overtime

[ruby plinth]

This one’s the most temperamental

The other ones don’t geek out as much

“Oh I’m like BARELY up to operating temp because I just turned on? Yeahhhhhh. Anyways”

[high torrent]

htb and thm certiicates wont get you in the job market youll need comptia at least and some other certificates

[pine bison]

Just assume no cert will guarantee a job.

[celest dirge]

At this point, I'd probably geek out too

[ruby plinth]

Tbh I plan to get like maybe one two Cisco certs and resub to finish some THM stuff and take a help desk job part time

Certs compared nothing to experience

[pine bison]

It will always be about skill showcasing. Do writeups, build connection, Write tools. etc

[celest dirge]

Question is, what's causing it to do that

[ruby plinth]

Just get your foot in the door

[ruby plinth]

It’s a bitch

That’s what caused it

[celest dirge]

Dogs? Keep em on a leash.

[ruby plinth]

Usually with these because we use seawater it’s usually because one of the strainers gets clogged and there’s no water running to it to actually cool anything down

[ruby plinth]

Nah it worked

[celest dirge]

It failed on my end then

[celest dirge]

I NEED a job

[ruby plinth]

I want my degree

Then ill go somewhere else

Might take up USNCC for my associates in cyber security

And then focus more on NE for my bachelors

[ruby plinth]

Navy’s always hiring

[celest dirge]

I don't really care about my degree (lackluster) and I can't switch institutions cuz my GPA is cooked.

[celest dirge]

Nahhhh, I'm good.

[ruby plinth]

Wish I could go back in time and say this

[celest dirge]

I'm desperate, but not that desperate.

[ruby plinth]

I only care bc it’s free

Oh I was desperate

I desperately needed out of law enforcement

[celest dirge]

Surprisingly, I've learned a lot more during my own time compared to what my curriculum has been teaching me.

Not to say it's a bad thing, but I am proud of how much effort I've put into myself over the past years.

Watchful Citizen (@[e-mail])

@GrapheneOS is being threatened by French authorities for refusing to add backdoors and they're dealing with coordinated attacks in French media right now. They're pulling out of France entirely, moving all their servers, and fighting off a wave of bullshit one-sided reporting that makes them look like they're helping criminals.

They need us to fight back. Support them however you can, whether that's a dollar, sharing their story, pushing back on the garbage news coverage when you see it, or just telling someone you know about what's happening. All of it matters because they're drowning in attacks from governments and media and bad actors who want them gone.

This is the only Android OS that actually makes me feel like privacy isn't just marketing. They fight for us now they need us to fight for them.

The EU is pushing Chat Control and creating an environment where governments feel empowered to threaten developers into compliance, and if we stay quiet we're letting it happen\…

well yes... and if the official graphene os team push a everyone ping on their discord something is seriously going on

as they basically never do taht

@loud marlin think you would be interested in this topic too :P

oh boooooy... this will be fun

General question before asking to support, anyone try to upgrade month membership to annual? i think the discount wasn't applied for me

[loud marlin]

just image that you say no when some ask you to add backdoor =/

[sand trench]

dunno... not moved from annual subscription ever

[gritty pasture]

hey everyone, is it a bad sign if i get stuck and have to look up a walthrough? i don't feel like im learning alot but i keep hitting brickwalls when i try to do challenge rooms

[sand trench]

note taking note taking note taking
get a rubber ducky and try and explain what you are trying to do to get access
sit down and try and use search engines and your previous knowledge to solve the challenge for at least 1 hour

after which you can do the walkthrough from a writeup or guide

[gritty pasture]

thank you, knew i was missing something

Hello

Is it bad if I look up the walkthrough

[molten solar]

Is there like a system status dashboard for technical issues with the platform?

[glad solstice]

Supp

[undone flax]

It's only bad if you haven't tried to do your best. It's okay to look at walkthroughs as long as you write it down and learn something from it. It builds up after that.

[molten solar]

I'm getting a 504/gw timeout. wondering if it was just me, or bigger

i never expected them to drop the prices even more

[mellow hedge]

.

[undone flax]

In that case, try to look at the walkthrough up to a point where you're currently stuck. Stop scrolling after you've found some clues. I do that and then I figure things out on my own.

[undone flax]

Something's up with the connection. It's on thm side.

[molten solar]

Its back end, i can reach the front end.

But then i should be albe in theory to route directly to vm, but its down too

[safe frost]

i buy a year thm for 60 something quid in blackfriday sale happy then my indian mate tells me he gets it for 20 quid 🥲

[molten solar]

edu ?

[undone flax]

Is this an attack box or from your personal pc? I'm cut out from the VPN connection. No way to connect unless if maybe I use the attack box.

[safe frost]

how indians get 3x cheaper

[molten solar]

@undone flax To me its one and the same! But i recently did a kali rolling update, and i didn't know if it was "me" or the world thats broken 😉

[safe frost]

can i vpn and get deal on soc cert ? 😄

set location mumbai

geo pricing discrimination 😄

[sand trench]

not discrimination

[safe frost]

what is it then why indians get it cheaper

[sand trench]

it has to do with peoples purchasing power

[undone flax]

Wait are they giving out vouchers for the certification exams?

[sand trench]

it is not cheaper to indians if you look at how much they can get for the amount of money they get

[marsh lark]

in the advent of cyber event? 100, yeah

technically 200 SAL1 + PT1

[sand trench]

would recommend you look into the big mac index

[safe frost]

Currently, India is the 4th largest economy in the world GDP ranking 2025 list. The IMF forecasts that by 2028, India will overtake Germany to become the 3rd largest economy worldwide.

[sand trench]

it makes it stupidly clear how commerce works

[marble frost]

look up purchasing power parity and what per capita income means

[tough hedge]

Thank you man 🙏🙏🙏

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @undone flax (current: #2152 - 2)

[undone flax]

Is that the one that will start on Dec 1? Or they're giving away vouchers already now?

[safe frost]

they have a space program my country dosent :<

[marsh lark]

the one that starts on Dec 1

[cunning vortex]

Is tryhackme beginner friendly

[marsh lark]

yes, definitely 🙂

[marble frost]

yeah but not like everyone got one in their backyard

[silver hornet]

hi Donut

[cunning vortex]

Bet, I’m looking into it but don’t know where to start

[marsh lark]

yo 🙂

[silver hornet]

[marble frost]

it is the most beginner friendly cyber sec platform out there

[undone flax]

There is a learning path or roadmap for you.

[marsh lark]

doing good, u?

[silver hornet]

i'm prepare to sleepyy

[undone flax]

Oh that's good. I thought they already started now lol

[cunning vortex]

So its worth the subscription

Ill get it

[silver hornet]

have you done a new machine at HTB @marsh lark?

[undone flax]

It's back up now.

[cunning vortex]

My damn pc is slow, what pc y’all recommend? Preferably 1.5-2k usd

[gentle solar]

guys, a question i got in networking saying "What is the key term for devices that are connected together?" I know it's networking but they say something is wrong, is this a bug or am I actually wrong

[rapid merlin]

Review thinkpad lenovo

[cunning vortex]

Ill check it out rn

[marble frost]

do you mean PC or laptop?

[rapid merlin]

Are u using hashcat or any cracking password tools ?

[old canopy]

I did you wont get 32gb ddr5 ram cl32 for under 200€

Fricking AI industry

[cunning vortex]

Im looking for pc

I already have a laptop runs fine

[old canopy]

Ai industry eating RAM like crazy

[cunning vortex]

Mines outdated

[old canopy]

You still good bro

[spice scroll]

do you guys get alot of baddies as neds?

nerds*

[rapid merlin]

It was their marketing strategy to force you to upgrade or buy new device that can handle A.I models

[raw grail]

hi

[marble frost]

then you need to do a lot more research. like your budget, which CPU you want, if you also want a GPU, extensibility, upgradability, etc

[old canopy]

Buy yourself new ram after selling your current one

[celest dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/robot-dance-amogus-sus-gif-20935225

[finite basalt]

Happy to say I bought my ram before the AI RAM price hike, got 64gb DDR5 sodimms for £100, mind you the cas latency is higher because it's SODIMM

[unborn cradle]

yall where can i ask sum1 bout openvpn not workin

[cunning vortex]

Yeah I did ive been thinking i just want a prebuilt one that i can upgrade in the future

[unborn cradle]

TU value failed at 1000, aborting MTU check
[-] Something went wrong -- please ask for further assistance in the TryHackMe Discord server, subreddit, or forum

[cunning vortex]

Just not sure which i want

[old canopy]

Pls sell it to me 150€

[rapid merlin]

You need to edit the file

[old canopy]

Nvm i have read sodimm

[finite basalt]

Either way I quite like having RAM in my laptop 🤣

[cunning vortex]

Bro… I currently have 8gb ram 🤣😭

[gritty pasture]

hey there im trying to ffuf a site and the request just hangs whenever i run it. heres the command ffuf -w /usr/share/wordlists/SecLists/Discovery/Web-Content/common.txt -u 'http://[ip]/hmr_FUZZ

[unborn cradle]

which one

[finite basalt]

My laptop has more memory than my old desktop did, by four times as much. Mind you, since I'm now using it as a server I have upgraded it to 48gb DDR4

[rapid merlin]

Your ovpn file must remove some lines there

Do a research or ask A.I

[cunning vortex]

AI will shift how cyber security works huh

Atleast thats what I’ve been hearing

[rapid merlin]

Its already happening

[cunning vortex]

What does this mean for it’s future

[unborn cradle]

ion know which one

i cant find anyone with the same problme

[high torrent]

"Ai will take over the world"

The ai:

[cunning vortex]

Well its pretty crazy how far its come in just the last few years

[unborn cradle]

mhm

[humble whale]

[tropic kernel]

hi guys. i have a question. is the SAL 1 certificate good and helpful for migrate to another country?

[molten solar]

ai ram price hike?

[gentle solar]

nope

[humble whale]

i know walkthroughs and stuff is a last resort but im pretty lost and have no idea what im doing

[humble whale]

did you figer it out yet

[molten solar]

I see this new cpu i really want ...
TR 2970 for 250 and change. Used to be a lot more than that

[gentle solar]

I am waiting for someone to answer me in root help to see if I am wrong or if there's a bug

[high torrent]

not really you should get COMPTIA

[gentle solar]

searching online gives network as an answer aswell so idk

[humble whale]

i was about to ask did you try 'network'

[gentle solar]

first thing I typed

[molten solar]

Except i see a 2990wx for 107 ... i think im gonna try that one first

[humble whale]

it"s a bug i just checked

[sand trench]

you will keep your subscription until the day it would renew if you cancel it now

[reef plover]

hi guys, will my brute force stop when i suspend the laptop?

[high torrent]

brute force ethically?

[reef plover]

[loud marlin]

no... suspend puts things to "sleep"

[high torrent]

yea

[spice scroll]

is it hard to setup virtual machine to do challenges?

[high torrent]

no

all you need is a few tutorials

its very easy

[spice scroll]

imtird of these reading stuff, i want to try challengs bro

[molten solar]

Query: Should i be able to go from my self-hosted vpn connected machine to an attackbox

[rapid merlin]

what room u want to try?

[spice scroll]

anything, something easi

to build up selfesteem

[reef plover]

so it should continue when i wake it up right?

[rapid merlin]

Try louvre Louvre its teach u about osint

i forgot the title

[spice scroll]

challenges more realistic right

then reading path?

[loud marlin]

not rly... when you lost connection it stops

[reef plover]

bruh

but ok :((

[rapid merlin]

https://tryhackme.com/room/thecasesevenminutesontheseine here

[loud marlin]

suspend and so stops things on pc

[rapid merlin]

How do i start learning cybersecurity?

[loud marlin]

exactly like that. start learning

[rapid merlin]

You need computer, Internet

[spice scroll]

thanks bro

hopefuly i get a job next year or two

[rapid merlin]

Ok benedetta😳

[spice scroll]

IM TIRED OF BEING A BUM!

[molten solar]

I suddenly started having problems not being able to get to thm assets. as it turns out, the ovpn config has changed. routing is now at 10.64/12 ? And the old one was mulitple networks including 10.1/16
So routes to 10.64 weren't being passed over tun0, but instead trying to go out my default gw

well that was ... fun .. didn't expect it to change upstream

[cloud quiver]

Everything good now ?

[molten solar]

I just finished this other debug ... like wow. It involved a website that loaded atoolkit that among othe things incorporated anti-debug, popups, and did some kind of wierdness to deploy extensions.

[pastel silo]

yeah dkob did it thanks anyway

[twin ridge]

Anyone wanna suggest some beginner cybersecurity books starting from 0? I wanna get as much resource as possible

I wanna get a fundementals starting from 0 book

[high torrent]

your gonna enjoy the server a lot

[midnight meteor]

yeah, I hope this server will be my first enjoyed server.

This is Minato from Japan.

I am a software engineer with 9 years of experience.

[wintry flower]

[midnight meteor]

Are you also from Japan?

[molten solar]

ohayo ...

[midnight meteor]

I have a small software team here and want to expand it to world wide team.

[merry umbra]

Anyone

[humble whale]

OccupyTheWeb - Linux Basics for Hackers and network-basics-for-hackers those two books are really a good place to start

[merry umbra]

Which one do u think I should start with?

Ive already completed THM presec

And uh

Cybersec101 networking

Moving onto the tools ofc

[wintry flower]

nej, Tanzania

[humble whale]

linux basics go for the updated second edition

[molten solar]

You say from 0, what experience do you have besides counting complex numbers on your fingers?

[merry umbra]

Is this more important than networking, I dont think I really need a book for networking dont u think

[molten solar]

@merry umbra What is your goal to learn from scratch? Are you trying to keep busy, are you learning how to connect to things? What will you do with your new superpower.

[merry umbra]

Well

My goal is to learn from scratch yes

I dont have much computing knowledge except i used to be a script kiddie

[rapid merlin]

Why don't you go into thm path

[merry umbra]

I bought THM premium

For a year, and started it a month ago but if im being honest

I wanna domore

THM doesn't give the full picture

[molten solar]

Start on the beginners path, if you learn from books then find some good CS 100 CS 050 books. Tkae a CS 05x course online for free

[humble whale]

well i ve ccnp so i didnt feel like i get much out of the networking book but i enjoyed the linux one that i finished in two days you can take a look then decide

[rapid merlin]

What do you mean by "computing knowledge"

[merry umbra]

Is the CS50 harvard course good

[merry umbra]

As in computing parts and how it works, then networking

[molten solar]

Yes. Malan is a great instructor

[merry umbra]

I know specific details but I csnt seem to pin it together

[molten solar]

I believe i took that the firs tyear they put it out

[merry umbra]

I should start with this? And take good notes?

[rapid merlin]

There's a course it's actually so good its named "tcm help desk"

[molten solar]

Its lectures and virtual machines, kind of like thm attackboxes

[rapid merlin]

It has everything that you'll ever need

[merry umbra]

Whete is this?

[rapid merlin]

https://academy.tcm-sec.com/p/practical-help-desk

[merry umbra]

Should I start with this?

[rapid merlin]

It has everything that you'll ever need with computers

[merry umbra]

Oh nice, it has even networking

Into to IT

And computers

[rapid merlin]

If you want to understand how computer works and allat yes this your way to go

[merry umbra]

I just wanna know everything needed for red team

Offensive hacking

[rapid merlin]

Go into thm learning path and choose penetration testing

[merry umbra]

I mean from scratch

[untold sandal]

i cant find thes discount

[wintry flower]

take it slowly, don't do many things at at time

[rapid merlin]

All you need is Linux, programming and networking and you're good to go

[merry umbra]

I see

[merry umbra]

I know fundementals for linux

I use linuz

Networking i have a good concept of

[molten solar]

@rapid merlin Thats a years long process on its own tho

[merry umbra]

Python basics

But tbh, i wanna get deep knowledge of everything like @wintry flower said, take it slow

And I wanna savour all the information

[molten solar]

@glitch I mean ive been doing it for decades and i still learn new things!

[rapid merlin]

I completed all of that in a month but the plot is I studied 9 hours a day

[molten solar]

@rapid merlin You learned their path in one month, or do you mean everything for linux, programming, and networking

[rapid merlin]

Well yeah me too but the basics commands that he needs to know are not so many

[merry umbra]

I know everything in presecurity THM, and eveyr5hing in linux fundementals 1-3

Also windows findementals and active directory basics

[regal dawn]

go to https://tryhackme.com/manage-account/subscription it should be there

[rapid merlin]

Well I study IT in college so idk if it's fair but I learned Networking and Linux on my own

[merry umbra]

Secure/non secure networking protocols

[molten solar]

@glitch so as a oncept, you learned networking, and linux on your own .. or do you mean their path?

[merry umbra]

if for example your memory got wiped, but yiu could give yourself a plan to follow to learn cybersecurity from 0 to hero, how would you approach it?

This is a questions for u guys

[timber condor]

hi everyone

[merry umbra]

Sup

[molten solar]

I would Start with computer sciences, and once i had a grasp of programming and assembly and whatnot i'd pursue the networking aspects, then the security aspects

[jagged zenith]

?????????

[rapid merlin]

Well you don't need to go hardcore straight to assembly lol
Just do python or if you want to be a little hardcore do C

[merry umbra]

Ji, purchase hun kar

[wintry flower]

to add into that is "consistency"

[nimble prism]

asm = healthy

[molten solar]

@rapid merlin Never said hardcore straight to assembly. I said i programming AND assembly adn whatnot. Meaning i knew how programs worked from the code all the way to how the machine interacts iwth the actual instructions

[rapid merlin]

Idk but it's a bit hardcore for someone starting in IT

[narrow yew]

well well well

[rapid merlin]

Yeah assembly is good but for me I wouldn't give it for someone new starting in IT

[molten solar]

Proper usage of programming is important, i mean you can do a pretty nice analyst job with other poeples tools, but to engineer solutions you need to code

[rapid merlin]

Tomorrow 6am I'm going to beach and it's raining heavily and it's so cold and I'm so excited (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

[molten solar]

@rapid merlin I made marketer/campaign reps suffer through CS50 at lunch and learns. best thign they ever did at the company

[narrow yew]

why are you repeating yourself

[molten solar]

because they are excited!

[narrow yew]

Spamish behaviour

[rapid merlin]

Cuz like I wanted you to notice and tell me that I'm doing good

[rapid merlin]

He's a big fat meanie don't mind him

[narrow yew]

So you want to tell me things

but i'm a meanie?

[molten solar]

Whado you guys think, is a 32 core processor wiht 64 threads worth $100 USD

[narrow yew]

xeon? I assume

[molten solar]

thats basically the highest end cpu i can stick on my pc (threadripper 2990)

[narrow yew]

or a ripper

I see

[rapid merlin]

I didn't learn assembly yet honestly but I know C very well and I mean I think people need to start to know how things work. Me personally I started coding with scratch that software that makes games

[merry umbra]

if for example your memory got wiped, but yiu could give yourself a plan to follow to learn cybersecurity from 0 to hero, how would you approach it?

[molten solar]

Ive been using a 1920 since like 2019

[narrow yew]

Used?

[rapid merlin]

Dis you

[narrow yew]

Ir should I look online for one

[molten solar]

@narrow yew Yes. Definitely used. Not forking over 2700-3k for a new one

[jagged zenith]

no one advise a beginner 😭

This is the 2-3rd time you send me that image for no reason.

I am not sure what your issue is. You get help to everything you ask, every day

It only costs money if you want a facny printed certificate

[hard ravine]

thats solid material

[merry umbra]

Should I start with this rn.

[molten solar]

Only if you're serious about learning

[merry umbra]

Oh you bet im serious

I was considering paying somebody here to be my mentor , a source of advice

[hard ravine]

have you not got THM ?

[merry umbra]

I have thm premium

[weak jetty]

Boys, someone realize the "7 minutes in the SENA" room?

[merry umbra]

[uncut relic]

I need a russian teammate that hack people to live

[rapid merlin]

What scratch you want to start from are you talking about

[merry umbra]

From 0

[rapid merlin]

Thm have everything that you'll need dude

If you really want to start from scratch you first have to invent the universe

[molten solar]

OR fortran!

[merry umbra]

Idk

[night harbor]

Hi guys ! I'm not able to access the machine via RDP on MAC. I don't understand why. If someone can help 🙂

[molten solar]

I hated those coding sheets yo

[rapid merlin]

Start in thm from 0 and you'll have everything that you'll ever need

[hard ravine]

THM covers from most basic classes to advanced hacking so why are you looking for more resources ? Only thing maybe you want to learn is Networking and Learn a programming language thats it
For networking entire CCNA course from Jeremy on Youtube is more then enough and for a language you have access to W3Schools and FreeCodecamp

[weak jetty]

What's the problem? Do u have a error message?

[merry umbra]

Sometimes ita annoying when people speak about stuff like "ryzen blah blah' and computing facts that idrk

[weak jetty]

Free courses in Udemy also

[molten solar]

Lol. A ryzen is an amd cpu .. like xeon vs alder lake or whatever

[night harbor]

"We couldn't connect to the remote PC. Make sure the PC is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled. Error code: 0x204"

It's the good IP, good username, good pwd and still not working.
I always have problem while accessing servers on webpage so I want to access via RDP.

[molten solar]

The TR is the really fancy thing tho .. those are awesome cpus .. even if hte fabric tying together the two seperate cores sucks

[merry umbra]

Idk wat that means xd

[molten solar]

Yup. You will experience htat a lot in life, if you stop ther and just say "I dont know" .. learn

Expecting this cpu to go up to around $500 at last minute ... which will suck but we can see

Its the last platform update this motherboard can use short of increasing ram

[weak jetty]

Is a virtual machine?

[hard ravine]

they themselves doesn't know ####
and you certainly dont need a cs degree to understand components a short video on youtube can explain it to you
Ryzen CPUs are produced by AMD , one of the 2 major CPU producers the other one is INTEL ,thats it

[weak jetty]

If is a VM, look if the 3389 port is open

[night harbor]

Yup

[hard ravine]

@merry umbra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9CmdPt30v8

[weak jetty]

If not, then no will working

[merry umbra]

Ill do this

Im going to stick to using thm

And watch a computing fundementals video on the side

I might make manual irl notes

[molten solar]

Store it in visual, motor, and auditory cortex to realy remmeber 🙂 Write it down, say it out loud, and read/watch it

[merry umbra]

Is obsidian notes goated

[fossil light]

Hello 👋

[finite basalt]

I use trilium personally but obsidian's decent, I only use trilium because I want it hosted on my server so I can have central synced notes across devices

[molten solar]

trilium ..like evernote or others? Whats the plugin base like

[merry umbra]

Thats W

[finite basalt]

I believe it may be based off a plant/flower

[hard ravine]

Good man

[spice scroll]

isnt 5G toxic for the human body?

[merry umbra]

Wish me luck brathuha

[green relic]

Nope . Fighter jets pilot are trained to pull 9gs

[finite basalt]

Also worth noting that everyone learns differently, most things I learn are by building on my theoretical knowledge and changing how I apply it so I find that sometimes fucking around and finding out is better than note writing, I also know that for me personally hand writing notes often has more effect than typed up notes

[molten solar]

@finite basalt Can you store them in a git repo and push your deltas that way? Or is it realtime collaboration

[finite basalt]

If sustained constantly 5G could possibly be toxic as it would pool blood in your legs; however, if you as a normal person can achieve 5G of force for more than a moment then I'll be very impressed
Also the 5G signal is not toxic

[merry umbra]

I have adhd its so annoying trying to concentrate

But I love cybersecurity sm

[narrow yew]

I took the vaccine

So im 5g

[merry umbra]

Like I love learning and get a buzz learning a room properly

Makes me feel good

[finite basalt]

I could but I prefer having a web accessible set of notes as well, so I can read them on phone, laptop etc. without additional software

[green relic]

Adhd is capable of putting you behind bars fam . Careful

[merry umbra]

Tmm bro, but dw ill stay hidden

🤣

[finite basalt]

Nah that's fair, you might find that shorter bursts and frequent breaks during learning may be helpful for concentration, and music/podcasts

[merry umbra]

Yeahhhh thats it bro

Icl when I sit for too long

I feel like headbutting my pc

[merry umbra]

What motivated u guys to learn cybersec

Mine is because of palestine

[narrow yew]

one can apply for old gang

Its a few of us

[green relic]

Growing up i was forced to become a black hat but I just couldn't so I became a Grey hat. Cybersec is just life man .

[merry umbra]

Why didnt u,

What limited u

[finite basalt]

For me it was originally game cheating and then I realised that's bad but I found the whole subject interesting and decided to pursue it via an ethical means

[merry umbra]

Lmao

I used to skid c2 malware and send it to my friends and think I was Eliot alderson

[green relic]

Becoming one could have many deadly disadvantages for me . Prison is one of them

[merry umbra]

(Windows defenders detected it)

[merry umbra]

Lmfai

Lmfao

[finite basalt]

Even now the techniques involved in game cheating are highly intriguing to me but I don't cheat on games

[fossil light]

Hi everyone ☺️

[narrow yew]

Hello

The coooler cyber

[cedar drift]

Hi everyone, how are ya doing fresh to discord

[green relic]

And if you become a black hat. You'll have to be anonymous as if you never existed . Even a single small mistake could screw you up !

[finite basalt]

I remember writing assembly in sixth form, nothing malicious, it cancelled scheduled shutdowns in case I didn't touch the computer for 5 minutes while writing notes (they'd auto shutdown after 5 minutes inactivity). I added a loop so it'd automatically try and cancel shutdowns at intervals and the system detected it as malware 😭
It wasn't detected as malware without the loop, defender just really didn't like that jump call at all 🤣

[narrow yew]

Hey how old are you?

[merry umbra]

Yeah, I watched fscoeity and saw how paranoid Eliot was

I mean

Mr robot

[narrow yew]

He was proper crazy

[finite basalt]

At the end of the day, it makes no sense to do black hat when there's risks and you could do it legally without the risk

[merry umbra]

Yeah dude was antisocial as fuck

[narrow yew]

Bipolar af

[merry umbra]

Imagine Eliot alderson used tryhackme

💀

[finite basalt]

Plus, you can actually benefit society doing it legally instead of negatively affecting people

[merry umbra]

Yeah, thats my motivation

Alot of political groups that aren't the best right now but

[narrow yew]

New tshit

[merry umbra]

It'll get me banned speaking about it

[narrow yew]

Don't go political here, not the forum

[merry umbra]

Yeah realised

!

But W tag

[finite basalt]

Yeah I tend to avoid politics online, it's a subject with a lot of nuance that often gets missed when conveyed through a keyboard

[narrow yew]

naa. wrong forum

[merry umbra]

Pls haxxor my ex girlfriend !!!

[narrow yew]

This is not a black hat forum, and that is illegall

[merry umbra]

Lmfaoo

[narrow yew]

If you continue you stay will be short here

[finite basalt]

Not only is it illegal and unethical, assuming that some person also has no morals or fear of legal consequence for them to trust some random dude claiming to be a hacker for hire is insane 🤣

[narrow yew]

looks for an helping hand and whisper "jabba" in too the dark night.

[green relic]

It's like saying " Murder for hire " .🤣

[merry umbra]

😭

He will send an file named "freerobux.exe" to his target

[finite basalt]

Did you ever hear about the joke site for that, they actually had a dude who kept emailing repeatedly about it and eventually they co-operated with the FBI to arrest the guy for conspiracy to murder

[green relic]

Never heard of that . But the audacity to send those emails not being afraid the fbi intelligence might intercept you is pure madness

[finite basalt]

I know right, he wasn't just asking about it he was offering to pay tens of thousands of dollars and was asking where to send the money 😭

[whole yew]

why you gotta drag as something as wholesome as parappa the rappa into anything

[green relic]

Talking about that . This reminds me of a video I watched earlier of scammer payback . The scammer was scamming an old grandma , and scammer payback literally penetrated his computer while he was shirtless and opened his camera 🤣

[chilly veldt]

juun, I hate RF

[narrow yew]

old geezer identified

[chilly veldt]

they made it all into AI shit

[midnight yarrow]

guys is there is anyone who know the TLS certificate fingerprint for the IP address.

it's in SOC Level 1
Threat Analysis Tools
IP and Domain Threat Intel

[chilly veldt]

(recorded future)

[narrow yew]

try dig IP

then move from there

[whole yew]

That's why I do wifi only.

I found a weird edge case in wpa_supplicant I've been debugging for actual months. Finally I gave up and dropped iwd in place, been working flawlessly for about a month.

[sturdy sequoia]

morning all. hows it going?

[narrow yew]

S H Y F T

[green relic]

Evening.

[narrow yew]

Good morning

import som Kiwi birds

[chilly veldt]

I knew you would miss interprite, I was talking about recorded future, I just started in a CTI position 😄
I got promoted to L2 analyst and CTI analyst full-time

[whole yew]

@chilly veldt I think it was something about powersaver mode firmware not interacting correctly for the keep-alive in wpa_supplicant.

Oh, yeah. Totally fuck Recorded Future right in their big lieing faces.

[green relic]

What's one hacking questions yall think I definitely won't answer?

[sturdy sequoia]

what do you mean

[chilly veldt]

yeeee, so now we have a meeting with Recorded future soon

[whole yew]

Is your corpo hiring a US-based SOC manager or Deputy Director? I could use a position change so long as they'll let me be remote.

[green relic]

One gdamn question only a hacker can know ( hard one )

[finite basalt]

Icl as much as I don't mess around with it too much, Wi-Fi and RF security in general are so interesting imo, that and malware/exploit dev
and when I say malware dev, I don't mean for releasing into the wild, I mean proof of concepts and personal testing

[sturdy sequoia]

i dont think there is one

[whole yew]

Ask them about thier AI. If you can bait their idiot salesreps into telling all about how they detected a weaponized version of Spectre and Meltdown, I think you will be entertained.

[chilly veldt]

what Cisco/networking protocol would stop you from setting a rogue device into a network port and taking down the network

[green relic]

Yeah. You think so .

[narrow yew]

There is a mixed crowd today

[sturdy sequoia]

haha seems like it

[chilly veldt]

not yet, we are though a consultant firm, so I am not sure if we hire US based, but we are fully remote

[midnight yarrow]

i searched through everything literally censys, crt.sh like i have been searching forever i think the cert just expired and the bought a new one so i need to find the old one

[chilly veldt]

gladly, I talked a bit with them before they implemented their shitty ai

[green relic]

using a secured psec could cut signal for the rogue device. It simply protects the mac address

[narrow yew]

Well you have the TLS version right infront of you

[chilly veldt]

not the answer I was looking for

[narrow yew]

how are you expecting to find an old cert

[whole yew]

their shitty AI has been in place since 2018 - I asked them specifically about using AI/ML and they said they didn't do it.

Then 30 seconds later they were talking about how they used ML in their heuristic detections.

I had many questions that they could not answer at that point.

[green relic]

!You are smart

[narrow yew]

And tell me why

So I can help

[midnight yarrow]

Unknown

[chilly veldt]

yeah, they have implemented a worse AI now, and focused more on being a dashboard for companies, and not MSSP focused which they should be

[whole yew]

if your company would like someone to to vCISO stuff for customers, hit me up

[whole gazelle]

yes

[chilly veldt]

I was looking for spanning tree bpdu guard

[midnight yarrow]

it's a task in IP and Domain Threat Intel room

[narrow yew]

And this is asking for TLS version?

[chilly veldt]

will do 😄

[midnight yarrow]

did i mention TlS version ? i said cert

[whole yew]

MSSP customers probably don't pay as much as the huge enterprise

[narrow yew]

you want the "TLS certificate fingerprint for the IP address."

[midnight yarrow]

Yess which is a number guess what

[finite basalt]

I've been looking into win internals so TLS currently means Thread Local Storage to me 😭

[narrow yew]

This is for task 4

[boreal scarab]

Wild Juun 👀

[midnight yarrow]

5ea8e6046bdabaa8e23a1a0124c01d1be5ccd42c66ef2577a59f3b3f0f056d12
this is the fingerprint

[midnight yarrow]

yub

[narrow yew]

e

[green relic]

I need to get the osee certificate

Need to work for it

[narrow yew]

use the IP from the example

not the room

[sweet badger]

General question, lets say that I want to start all the rooms again, this will afect my current score? would bring me back?

[cedar drift]

Transport Layer Security

[midnight yarrow]

i did that

the main problem is the backend need to update the anwer with the new fingerprint which is 5ea8e6046bdabaa8e23a1a0124c01d1be5ccd42c66ef2577a59f3b3f0f056d12

i have alr checked writeup which was different than mine it was 48d6057099841bd18809fd61aa990b17779176de7799f301dac24879da553456
so yeah

[finite basalt]

I know what it stands for 😭 I've just been on something else recently so it's not the first thing that comes to mind
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/procthread/thread-local-storage this is the first thing that enters my head when I see TLS currently

[narrow yew]

the room is reported

as broken

[midnight yarrow]

im sorry but that means...?

[finite basalt]

it's not currently working

[narrow yew]

It is broken, as there have been changes so there is no way to find the correct answer

[midnight yarrow]

okay, ty for your time '

[errant saffron]

When the black Friday sale begin?

[narrow yew]

It is live

[haughty geyser]

Is it me for the premium VPNs are more laggy than the normals ones which I used to get?

[merry umbra]

Why does the echo ai not always load on my thm room

[haughty geyser]

Are you using some ad-blocker like uOrigin?

[merry umbra]

Yes I use a hardened firefox

[narrow yew]

And there is your answer

[errant saffron]

Links plz

[merry umbra]

O

[green relic]

Has already started

[haughty geyser]

Lol I was about to say that

[narrow yew]

Just go to the website

you dont need a link

and if you do, you are not familiar to the works of internet

[haughty geyser]

I accidentally found the sale

and extended my subscription

Kudos to the team to give us an option to extend the current subscription

[errant saffron]

Ok

[green relic]

I need to get a new pc. I don't trust my current one. 0 anonymous Policy

[narrow yew]

The new one will be the same

You make it as secure as it makes you feel comfortable.

Then you go online and share your life anyways

[haughty geyser]

Unless someone builts their own PC from scratch

[hexed wing]

If you can see this page, you're connected to TryHackMe
flag{connection_verified}
Your VPN/TryHackMe IP is:
Why does this appear when connecting with OpenVPN?

[green relic]

My current pc's ip address has a breach so I had to literally clone it and create several clones to make it harder to phish

[narrow yew]

That made no sense

[errant saffron]

No need to be costly, unless u r pc player, not console 😁

[green relic]

Just a new laptop . That's it

[narrow yew]

Do you have a dynamic IP or a fixed one?

[green relic]

Dynamic

[narrow yew]

Then think about what you wrote another time

𝗠𝗿𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘄𝘇 — 9:15 PM
My current pc's ip address has a breach so I had to literally clone it and create several clones to make it harder to phish

This makes no sense

[sturdy sequoia]

+rep for putting in so much work to help people

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @narrow yew (current: #228 - 43)

[narrow yew]

You are not connectingyour PC directly to your fiber/internet hookup?

[errant saffron]

Cloning for os purposes, not for ips, wht u talking about?

[narrow yew]

I am affraid he put a lan cable directly to the port to the WAN

[finite basalt]

That was indeed an interesting sentence to sentence

[green relic]

It doesn't matter if you have a fixed or dynamic . A virus or a cookie can literally reveal it

[narrow yew]

I am not sure you understand

[finite basalt]

If you clone the OS though, it's still infected??

[haughty geyser]

I legit saw someone trying to make their own silicon chip because they do not trust the existing Computing chips

[finite basalt]

So even if you changed your IP by rebooting the router it'd still be infected and just reveal the new IP

[errant saffron]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[sturdy sequoia]

Either idiot or genius

[green relic]

Creating a script that makes the ip address link to many non existing ip's to reduce the risk of getting it compromised

[narrow yew]

He can just have a look on what is calling out

[green relic]

Yep.

[finite basalt]

To answer the question, they're stupid 🤣 creating a chip of comparable performance on an individual scale would be near impossible

[narrow yew]

rebooting the router will not do it, he needs to wait in untill the DHCP drops the mac adress

[haughty geyser]

Someone in my known community made their own toy OS just for fun

[haughty geyser]

Yes. It is just things people do for fun

[untold sail]

guys, should i buy this?

[finite basalt]

Sometimes that's enough to get a new IP with a dynamic address; however, it's often not and needs to be left for up to ~24 hours

[sturdy sequoia]

You can force a dhcp renew

[narrow yew]

I have both fixed and dynamic

[finite basalt]

At minimum you usually have to keep it off for a few minutes to force it

[narrow yew]

Lets not make it too complex

[green relic]

Also reminding me . A wifi router can literally also leak your ip if a hacker connects to it .

[errant saffron]

If u Don't want to trust or be trusted, disconnect from internet and be for lifetime offline till u die 😅

[narrow yew]

/release /renew

[hexed wing]

hey can someone help me

[finite basalt]

Yeah, it varies between ISPs, depends what their DHCP lease rules are, like virgin media rarely changes even if you have it offline for hours. Others may change more frequently, sky used to change quite a bit

[finite basalt]

A hacker can only connect to it if they already know the IP address
or have an SSID

[haughty geyser]

Or Be a Farmer!

Just like most Senior Developers
