can someone help, i just bought the 1 year annual, but i want to cancel the outorenewal, do i cancel the subscription? its very vauge if i lose my premium?

[rapid merlin]

How

[glacial cove]

Either a temp sensor's not working, or the motherboard firmware refuses to cooperate

[rapid merlin]

Am I cooked? Cuz this pc is fairly new

[glacial cove]

Is this a brand new PC or have the issues just

Alright yeah

It being new makes it ironically less likely to be cooked

[rapid merlin]

It's gigabyte and I saw that it has many problems in it's software but this fans problem is new to me

[obtuse frost]

Anyone physhing

[languid aurora]

your cpu is cooked, your gpu is cooked, your pcb is burnt

[languid aurora]

You wanna team up

[celest dirge]

You got crops too?

[obtuse frost]

[sturdy sequoia]

I'll swap you a wheat for a fish

[obtuse frost]

So team up or not

[celest dirge]

That'll be $13 USD
The economy is getting rough and it's trying times.

[glacial cove]

Restart PC, spam DEL/F2/F10 until you get a screen and/or a gnarly beep, and it'll show you BIOS settings

Find fan power if it has settings for that in there and tweak em

If it don't work, get a refund for the cooler?

Oh lord, Gigabyte 😭

Hello everyone,

I know some certifications hold more wieght than others and I was wondering what the return on investment of PT1 could be like. Has anyone got a job because of PT1, or maybe, a promotion?

[celest dirge]

Eww what is that?

[boreal scarab]

Compared to the poutine i had in quebec

[boreal scarab]

Fries, gravy, cheese lol

[celest dirge]

All in one is an insane combo

[celest dirge]

Okay, that's more pleasing on the eyes, I would definitely eat that.

[merry saddle]

Hey

Is tech industry very woke ? Or not necessary

I see a lot of tech dudes and girls getting offended on this woke topic

Dunno. But to me business is business. And Technology should not have people that allow their feelings get in the way of building good tech

Or good product's such as good video games for example.

[sturdy sequoia]

just dont be a bigot and youll be fine

its not a difficult concept

[stoic quarry]

[rapid merlin]

just keep your personal politics and opinions to yourself or be careful about what you say to people you aren't immediate friends with, you'll be fine

[merry saddle]

Aha

I see, I guess good points.

[stoic quarry]

Your workplace shouldn't be where you take political stands. Judge people based on their work, not on their identity

[merry saddle]

Yea I get that

But for i see a lot of drama talk in tech and dev communities , due to the fact that a lot of companies with money destroy good ips , to make profits but not care so much about the quality of their software @stoic quarry

[sturdy sequoia]

yes, companies want to make money

[rapid merlin]

that's less about being woke and moreso about disliking what those companies are doing

[sturdy sequoia]

welcome to capitalism

but i think this conversation is turning political so maybe we should stop

[stoic quarry]

Yah

[sturdy sequoia]

i might have to report myself 😛

[merry saddle]

True

To me i care about quality thats all. Im a very passionate person

So once i learn cybersecurity for example i get invovled

Same goes for dev

[stoic quarry]

You can care about quality > quantity all you want

But when you come in to work on Monday and there are 100+ alerts on your SIEM dashboard you better get a move on

[sturdy sequoia]

yer when it comes to work, i care about what my boss or customer cares about.

[lavish canyon]

lol

[merry saddle]

Ya

There is always work to do

But I also believe work should have a purpose to evolve even further

[rapid merlin]

lots of people have their own ideas and philosophy as to how things should be

but the world keeps spinning

[sturdy sequoia]

Yep. It's all out of my control so I don't put too much thought into it

Anyone working on any interesting projects atm?

[stoic quarry]

SLAs are more important than a perfectly written report

[rapid merlin]

not interesting and pretty basic but i'm currently doing maldev academy and on the side working on a reflective loader

[stoic quarry]

Sounds like fun!

[sturdy sequoia]

I don't know what a reflective loader is but it sounds interesting to me

[modern fox]

hi

[stoic quarry]

Just an FYI, malware dev is usually restricted to the advanced channels in this server.

[rapid merlin]

oops, it's alright, i won't continue on about it, was just sharing for the question

[sturdy sequoia]

Oh shit, my bad four asking. I keep forgetting about that

Nah you're all good. You weren't aware

It's not like you were discussing it indepth

i'm also impatiently waiting for advent of cyber 😼

Alright just wanted to talk with you about my project

[stoic quarry]

Been remote for over a year, kinda wanting to meet people at a new place now

[sturdy sequoia]

we can talk here

[rapid merlin]

What's the project

[rapid merlin]

I'll be begining an internship in a month and I really hate it and it's not paid and it's mandatory for the uni

[regal dawn]

1.5 more days 🙏

AoC25

[stoic quarry]

Jesus, that's awful

[rapid merlin]

Kill me already

[rapid merlin]

Will it be ctfs or walkthroughs or what

[regal dawn]

how long is it?

[rapid merlin]

This is my first

[regal dawn]

no clue 😭

[stoic quarry]

Unpaid internships are silly

You can go back and do the old AoCs

They're Walkthroughs

[rapid merlin]

For 2 months and I have to do a report on it and what I learned and I have to do a project on it and I'm gonna do it in telecom and I don't know anything about it

[rapid merlin]

I hope all unpaid internships die

[stoic quarry]

Same

Just because someone is at uni doesn't mean they should be taken advantage of

[rapid merlin]

Is there a strong probability that one of us wins something

[stoic quarry]

I've won monthly premium before

and a few other times

The smaller prizes are pretty common iirc

But I don't have any insight, I'm just thinking about what happened last time

[regal dawn]

oh nice didnt know that, thanks man gonna dive right in

[rapid merlin]

Is there a link where we can see the prizes

[rapid merlin]

Do we all get a cert of doing it at the end?

[stoic quarry]

Eh, certification of completion yeah

Not a cert though

Like I wouldn't add it to my CV lmao

But you do you

[rapid merlin]

No I'll just post it in my LinkedIn or something

Hi, i just want to ask is it possible to earn Streak Freeze every week?
They said
How to get one:
complete 3 rooms after signing up
hit a milestone streak (7, 30, 180, 365)
keep a 7-day streak going

Does that mean we can earn streak freeze every week?

[clever turret]

how do you guys keep track of git commits and test environments when coding on vim

[rapid merlin]

You can win streak freezes from those boxes

[clever turret]

it's a long process to save and then change perms and then save and then run it

[desert tide]

ohh i see. Thankyou! Is it random? i just got exp points buff only.

[rapid merlin]

Yep you can get that or streak freezes it's random

[desert tide]

i see thank you brother!

How long is the internship?

[rapid merlin]

Do you study or work or what

[steady tangle]

Nothing I hate more than booting up my laptop for the first time this week and finding out it needs to freaking update

[rapid merlin]

2 month in a field that I don't like

[dark frost]

Both

[steady tangle]

I work, I graduated uni like 4 years ago

[steady tangle]

Why are you required to do an internship

[dark frost]

I work , and study at uni

[rapid merlin]

I really hate uni and I hate my roommates

[dark frost]

They party a lot?

[rapid merlin]

It's in our uni system every year we have to do an internship and do a report and a project on it and present it to the judges and they have to approve it or you'll have to try again

[steady tangle]

Oof sounds brutal

[rapid merlin]

No they're nice and strict and allat but I want to live alone just me, myself and my computer

[dark frost]

It's great to do intership.

[rapid merlin]

I mean the system is kinda good and grants you a job when you graduate but it's so bad and I hate it

[dark frost]

You gain lot of expenrience , and are able to pratice what you learned

[rapid merlin]

Idk why did I switch to IT I should've sticked to economics or should've done art

[rapid merlin]

But the rapport and the judges have to approve it and that's what bad about it

[dark frost]

Sould have buy bitcoin when i was 12 😂

[steady tangle]

Yeah it sounds kind of annoying to me

[dark frost]

Well as long as you do something they aprove it . If you stay in a cornet playing games . That won't do

[rapid merlin]

Should've bit the electric wire when I was a baby

[dark frost]

I worked as an electrician for 1 year

[rapid merlin]

But why don't we just all get money and stay at home and just be silly all day long

[dark frost]

Then saved enough money to pay for my bachelor in IT .
Currently doing my.Master

Hated that construction working job

Every day covered im mud/ dust/ sweat

[steady tangle]

If only the world worked like that

[rapid merlin]

You're an inspiration man istg

[rapid merlin]

What's your current job position

[steady tangle]

I’m in the military

Coming up on the end of my contract and about to transition out

[rapid merlin]

Are you an American

[steady tangle]

Yeah

[rapid merlin]

Idk how the system works but in my country if you work with the military you can never go back

Isn't there a special Cyberforce in the military?

You can work there I guess

[dark frost]

what country?

[steady tangle]

Yeah but moving around jobs is not super easy

[rapid merlin]

Tunisia, if you begin with military you have to work with them for the rest of your life

[steady tangle]

Which is why I’m just gonna get out

[rapid merlin]

Did you start with your own will or did you get drafted

[brittle sapphire]

Wow, that's brutal

[steady tangle]

I joined on my own

USA doesn’t do drafts outside of wartime

[rapid merlin]

They have many jobs tho you can work in whatever you want but if you go in you can't work outside of the military and also it gets really hard for you to get visa to other countries and if you're a high rank you can't travel outside of the country and they control all of your life

[rapid merlin]

In here if you're unemployed they draft you I thought this was universal

Why didn't you like the military

Oh wait so if you're in the military you have a tatto right

[strong fjord]

[steady tangle]

Thanks dude you too

[bright stone]

Do somone even own a zero day nowdays? or is it nearly impossible right now?
im just asking dont banned me'

[strong fjord]

A what

[bright stone]

zero day bug

unpathed bug

[strong fjord]

Oh like know some?

[ancient geyser]

What do you do for work now?

[strong fjord]

How do you own a zero day vulnerability

[steady tangle]

Yeah zero days still exist, there’s entire markets in the dark web dedicated to selling zero days but that’s closer to the malicious side so I’m not gonna go into any details

[strong fjord]

Didn't know selling those exists

[rapid stream]

I hope this whole platform is very beginner friendly

[steady tangle]

Yeah basically just people who sell the knowledge of how to extort a zero day they discovered

[ancient geyser]

What is a “zero day”

[dark frost]

i am also in the Military , but it's not profetionnal Army , It's Milice Army

[steady tangle]

Basically a vulnerability that has just been discovered by the person who intends to use it but isn’t known to anyone else.

[dark frost]

every Adult male in my country do a mendatory Military service

of 1 years

[steady tangle]

Hard to defend against because you don’t even realize there is a vulnerability

[ancient geyser]

I assume you’re talking about a program on a computer? Or in like what context

[steady tangle]

Yeah I know a bunch of different countries that do that

[steady tangle]

Anything technology, computer, website, server, application, etc

[rapid merlin]

Go get them tiger

[ancient geyser]

So when you refer to people selling “zero days”. Is it a program hackers use?

[steady tangle]

No they just sell the knowledge of the vulnerability and the information of how to use it

[rapid merlin]

A vulnerability that was never seen before a 0 day it's new

[ancient geyser]

Oh okay

[steady tangle]

They might make a program that automatically exploits the vulnerability for you but that’s a case by case thing

[ancient geyser]

But buying a “zero day” would mean you have the knowledge to now use it forever on any piece of tech practically

[stoic quarry]

Not forever

[steady tangle]

Any piece of technology that has the vulnerability

[stoic quarry]

Just until it gets patched

If you use a 0day and someone analyzes the attack they'll probably spot what you did, and patch it

[steady tangle]

Once a zero day is used and discovered by the target though, it’s not really a zero day anymore

[ancient geyser]

Trying to fully wrap my head around this. It’s basically a new “avenue” to hack something that a system or person does not recognize because that is the vulnerability of it?

[rapid stream]

In which order of modules do I go through first as a complete beginner with 0 knowledge

[stoic quarry]

Still a 0day in terms of 0 days to patch, but now a fix will be worked on

[steady tangle]

Because they don’t know that the “avenue” even exists yeah

[ancient geyser]

Can you only use a zero day once within a targeted system?

[stoic quarry]

You can use it until it's patched

[ancient geyser]

So once that avenue is patched it can’t be repeated ?

[steady tangle]

Yes just like every other vulnerability

If the target never patches the vulnerability it can continue to be used until they do

[ancient geyser]

Is that one of the reasons why Ryan Montgomery is so good? Hence why his user name is 0dayCTF? Lol

[steady tangle]

Depends on what you’re interested in / trying to accomplish

[ancient geyser]

So 0day is just another “bullet” in the chamber to trying to hack something but can only be attempted or tried once or until it is patched?

[steady tangle]

I mean Ryan Montgomery is good because he has a lot of knowledge and experience, but yeah he’s probably exploited some zero days before

[rapid stream]

I want to learn everything but specialize in red teaming

[ancient geyser]

Are zero days the name of the hack attempt itself? I’m trying to understand why it’s named that way

[ancient geyser]

👍🏼

[steady tangle]

That’s just what the overall category of vulnerability is called

[loud marlin]

0day's are name due that not even developer of that service or so, didn't know that exist.

[austere verge]

It’s just a vulnerability with no patch yet right

I think yall overcomplicating things

[loud marlin]

it's vuln that developer dont know and aware of it

[steady tangle]

THM has a learning path program that can guide you depending on which path you pick, personally I recommend starting with the SOC analyst path then moving to red teaming

[steady tangle]

Vulnerabilities can exist without a patch but it doesn’t make them a zero day

[ancient geyser]

Okay. You said that’s just what the “overall y category” of vulnerability is called.

Are there X and Y categories or was that a typo?

[rapid stream]

I have zero knowledge on anything. This is a complete different field and I just want to know the best place to start for someone with zero knowledge.

[steady tangle]

Typo

[jagged sphinx]

Please can someone tell me a roadmap for how should I approach certificates

[ancient geyser]

I’m on that ship somewhat so if you’re recommended any rooms lmk.

[steady tangle]

There’s a beginner cybersecurity 101 path. There’s also a #start-here channel

[ancient geyser]

What makes it different than any other vulnerability that a developer has not patched yet?

[steady tangle]

The creator of the vulnerable system doesn’t know the vulnerability exists -> Zero Day

The vulnerability is already known and documented but no patch exists yet -> not a Zero Day

[ancient geyser]

Okay, that helps

Aren’t there many vulnerabilities that a developer may not know about, technically speaking? Which would then categorize many different vulnerabilities as zero days?

[steady tangle]

Recommend doing some quick research on famous zero days if you are interested in the topic

[rapid merlin]

tryhackme has roadmaps and paths on the website

[steady tangle]

Yes but nobody will know it exists until someone finds it

[ancient geyser]

I think I fully understand them. I apologize for asking so many questions. I like to understand things conceptually.

[steady tangle]

So yeah in theory there’s an infinite amount of zero days waiting to be discovered

[steady tangle]

You’re fine. I like explaining stuff

[ancient geyser]

Okay, so in simple terms it’s a vulnerability that is not known by anyone and has not been patched yet?

[steady tangle]

Pretty much

[ancient geyser]

Okay. I gotcha

That’s pretty interesting.

[ancient geyser]

You explained that really well, thank you. Teach me more haha

[twin ridge]

What is this ^^?

[steady tangle]

A discord bot gave me a reputation increase because you thanked me

[ancient geyser]

I assume that’s part of some value system

[steady tangle]

Eh I think it’s just a way for the server to incentivize people to help each other out. Don’t think it actually does anything

[ancient geyser]

That’s what I assumed

[ancient geyser]

Do you work in this field?

[silver hornet]

morning fellas

[rapid merlin]

Good morning

[silver hornet]

11:30am rn

😂😂😂

[steady tangle]

I have a degree in cyber and I do a lot of CTFs and bug bounties in my free time

[rapid merlin]

9:31 AM

[steady tangle]

But I’m not formally employed in the field, no

[rapid merlin]

here

[silver hornet]

Indonesian right?

[rapid merlin]

yeap

[ancient geyser]

That’s awesome. I went to school and got a degree but I have newfound interest in learning a lot more about this field. It really is amazing.

[steady tangle]

Yeah it’s pretty cool

[silver hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/mie-goreng-makan-makanan-enak-lezat-gif-11391940

[fleet oxide]

Which makes more money and will have more jobs blue or red team

[ancient geyser]

Do you use your CS degree for anything related? I’m just curious. Sounds like you’re very knowledgeable so I’m just wondering why you aren’t working in CS.

[sturdy sequoia]

Blue has more jobs generally speaking

[ancient geyser]

For someone who’s interested in learning more about the field as a whole.

[silver hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-happy-dog-dog-happiest-dog-super-happy-gif-17885812

[steady tangle]

Red team makes more money on average but is usually for more experienced people

[steady tangle]

I’m currently in the military so I’m waiting for my contract to end so I can actually pursue a cyber career

[rapid merlin]

Soc analyst and security engineer and blue teamer

[ancient geyser]

Okay. Did you go to school, then finish. Then go into the military? It was it like an ROTC thing where you had to be in the military to pay for school?

[steady tangle]

I got my degree through the military similar to ROTC

[ancient geyser]

I’m surprised they haven’t wanted you to work a job in the military that allows you to use your CS degree. Sounds like that would be very beneficial to the military.

[steady tangle]

Yeah I had very good grades in school so they put me into the nuclear field instead and because it’s the military I couldn’t really say no

[boreal scarab]

When your stretch ia so good that your shoulder pops back into place

[ancient geyser]

Makes sense. Well I hope it all works out for you. I’m sure you’re excited

[steady tangle]

Yeah very excited to get out. Good luck to you on your journey

[ancient geyser]

Thank you, I’m sure we’ll connect again. I did send a friend invite as I’m trying to find people who can help me learn this, or even just as resources if I have a question.

[sturdy sequoia]

if you have a question you can ask here. there are lots of people on this server and surely someone will be around to help

This is an incredible website and group. I’m grateful for finding this.

[sturdy sequoia]

are you new to cyber security or just new to thm?

[silver hornet]

ur guys ill lose

[ancient geyser]

Fairly new to cyber security but more new to THM. I didn’t know that resource was out there until most recently.

[sturdy sequoia]

ah cool

[ancient geyser]

Any suggestions haha?

[sturdy sequoia]

im sure someone already mentioned #start-here

[ancient geyser]

I like the way THM teaches. I find it very helpful rather than just reading a book.

I might’ve read it already but the write up is on the link right?

[silver hornet]

nah

[rapid merlin]

Ohhh it’s a room on the website not within discord

[sturdy sequoia]

Yer it all happens on the site

[chilly stratus]

Good evening house……please can anyone recommend any organization or institution where one can learn cybersecurity…..I’ve chosen a career path and that’s to begin as an Soc analyst….. it could be paid or on scholarship…..I’ll greatly appreciate it thanks

[sturdy sequoia]

#start-here

[ancient geyser]

I see now, I also see the room for it on discord now that I joined on the website as well.

This discord group is obviously associated with the THM website but are they directly correlated with one another ?

[sturdy sequoia]

Yep. Same company

[ancient geyser]

No I know they’re the same company but nothing on the website translates directly to this discord group right?

Like this discord group was just just made to create a community for THM?

[sturdy sequoia]

Yer you can link your discord account to your thm account

That's why I'm green

[ancient geyser]

How do I do that?

I’m on my phone or do I need to be on a computer to do it?

[sturdy sequoia]

its in #start-here under the verify section

[ancient geyser]

I think it’s because my verification link expired earlier lol

[sturdy sequoia]

you just run a command here and copy your discord token from the site

[tulip field]

Dm me if you have any way I can get a jail broken ai or darkgpt

[sturdy sequoia]

no

[ancient geyser]

Why does my name appear purple lol

[sturdy sequoia]

because you are rank 1

[ancient geyser]

How does the ranking system work?

[sturdy sequoia]

as you complete rooms youll get points, after so many point you level up

[ancient geyser]

Ahh okay

Makes sense

[steady tangle]

There’s a chart on the website you can see when you hover over your rank

In discord if you click on a users name you can see what rank they are

[ancient geyser]

Is there an app for THM? I imagine the website has way too much information to run as efficiently as it would on an app

[sturdy sequoia]

i dont think theres an app. if there is, i literally havent heard anyone mention it here

[ancient geyser]

Is that on mobile or desktop, or both?

[steady tangle]

Both

[ancient geyser]

where does it show the ranking?

[steady tangle]

It’s like the first thing, for example mine says 0x9 [Mage]

Under the roles section

[ancient geyser]

Oh okay, I would never assumed that was a “ranking” lol

[steady tangle]

It matches with the chart on THM if you want to take a look at it. The 0x portion is a reference to the hexadecimal numbering system

[ancient geyser]

Oh okay, I understand. Is there an easy place to see the chart?

[steady tangle]

If you go to your profile on the website and hover over your rank it’ll pop up, it’ll show you how much points until your next rank too

[supple stream]

Who is eternal, i must say hi

[steady tangle]

I don’t think there’s anyone eternal online right now

[sturdy sequoia]

Yeah doing the course on the phone is impossible haha

I want to learn but it’s hard on the phone I guess I only can review on the pc

If you have some free time, you can go to an internet café and do TryHackMe. It’s better to go at night since there aren’t many people around, so you can focus and study alone

[rapid stream]

Yeah that’s true, or I might invest in a laptop and use that

It’s because I really want to learn while I’m at work just sitting here doing nothing haha but I can’t do the course from phone

[rapid merlin]

Make sure nobody is around because they will become curious about your doing and asking you "Oh bro you are hacker? bro can you fix my Locked Iphone i forgot it " "Broo my girlfriend is cheating on me can u hack his social media accounts"😆

I bet your classmates are afraid of you, they avoiding you as possible and the others are admire you

They're bullies tbh

But their attitude dramatically changed last week cuz someone got infos that I own hosting

Why? I'm assuming they want money or sum

And I hate people atp ^

I'll surpass your level today

[rapid merlin]

yeah

[slender karma]

you might honestly

[rapid merlin]

ig

[slender karma]

Idk if I'll have time to do thm today

[rapid merlin]

Why

[slender karma]

there's an uni project that I need to do for tomorrow

I can't check my exact amount of points on thm, right?

[sturdy sequoia]

yer on pc you can hover over your exp bar

[slender karma]

it doesnt say the exact amount that I have tho

it shows a table

[sturdy sequoia]

at the top of the table it shows your points

[slender karma]

I might be blind

[sturdy sequoia]

above the bit thats cut out

[slender karma]

it doesnt say the exact amount

[sturdy sequoia]

go to the dashboard and its on the right hand side. its further down the page so it should show the rest

[slender karma]

oh yeah

I see now

I need 800 more

how many rooms is that

[sturdy sequoia]

depends on the room. but probably like 5-10

maybe less

[slender karma]

I wont let you be ahead of me for too long

[rapid merlin]

I wish I could surpass ur lvl

[echo sentinel]

Dw it's all doable

[steady tangle]

Sup peoples

[rapid merlin]

Yo tomas

[craggy sun]

supp

[fading bloom]

I almost finished few rooms, except last task, which i intentionally left. Then I finished all unfinished rooms at once. Each room should give me about 50-150 points. Thing is I did not get any points. Also in leaderboards, my score/points stayed the same, like I did not finish any room. Is that normal or I assumed something wrong about getting points after room is finished?

[steady tangle]

What’s everybody up to

[craggy sun]

Doing a room

ALMOST MAGE🫡

[sturdy sequoia]

i think you get the points when you answer the question, not all at the end

[steady tangle]

Nice dude keep grinding

[fading bloom]

I thought we get points when we answer question and also when we finish room..

[craggy sun]

thanks Man! what are you doing?

[steady tangle]

I think it depends on the room but from what I can tell it’s based on question not the room overall

[craggy sun]

I need to occupy my space for Diamond League as well

[steady tangle]

Working the night shift about to hop into a room

[craggy sun]

okay🫡

[steady tangle]

Facts, I hate going to bed at the top of the leaderboard and waking up lower down but that’s how it goes

[craggy sun]

fr after this league i might fall into the bronze😆 . getting busy with my college life

[steady tangle]

Honestly the worst part of the weekly leagues is getting demoted back down when you get busy

[craggy sun]

hard to keepup in busy days

[steady tangle]

Yeah my streak keeps getting frozen cause of my busy weeks. I pretty much catch up on all my league points on Sunday in the last few hours

[rapid merlin]

I'm almost demoted

I need to solve 5 room to secured my rank

[craggy sun]

[craggy sun]

my streak is hella getting upgraded

[rapid merlin]

I will because I'm cooler

[rapid merlin]

I'm still a beginner, we all are

[rapid merlin]

[steady tangle]

Just gotta work hard

[rapid merlin]

I'm below beginner, I'm a novice

[rapid merlin]

I see

Any tips

[steady tangle]

Take notes and avoid AI

[remote widget]

Hey, how are you? What does the breakdown of roles inside the server mean?

[leaden relic]

Guys
What is advet-of-cyber

[marsh lark]

[rapid merlin]

Avoid ai, u sure?
Cause it can explain me stuff like I'm 5

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/shh-cats-gif-14317670277085954258

[digital estuary]

[marsh lark]

[steady tangle]

The roles are just a copy of the roles on the THM website

[marsh lark]

aaron and I here to debunk some stuff @rapid merlin is saying

[leaden relic]

.

[steady tangle]

It’s a series of challenges where one gets released each day of the month for December and you can win prizes

[digital estuary]

nah, he good, did a thorough check 🕵🏼

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/lion-king-toss-bye-gif-4963915

[marsh lark]

he said he was a novice

[rapid merlin]

I am

[marsh lark]

[leaden relic]

Advanced challenges
U mean u must be professional

[digital estuary]

novice to the power of 100

[marsh lark]

nope

[steady tangle]

Avoid AI as in don’t use to figure stuff out. Do your own research and read documentation

[steady tangle]

No they are beginner friendly

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-thinking-gif-18107621495886085895

[sturdy sequoia]

yer ive found ai is only useful if you already have a base knowledge. then you can usually tell when its wrong

[steady tangle]

There’s a Advent of Cyber chat that explains it in the discord

[rapid merlin]

Ai is useful in figuring stuff out

[leaden relic]

Challenges in what
Web, reverse etc..

[marsh lark]

there are a lot

[steady tangle]

Yeah various stuff

[digital estuary]

[remote widget]

Thanks a lot, man ❤️

I'm still in cyber security 101

[rapid merlin]

Naa tell ai, no bullshit, nd don't fuck with me, it behaves well

[marsh lark]

there are like in the middle of walkthrough and challenge rooms

[steady tangle]

Like shyft said if you’re a beginner you won’t know when the AI is telling you wrong stuff also it’s a skill for hackers to be able to find information on their own

[marsh lark]

in reality, you don't NEED any prereq knowledge

[rapid merlin]

Words of wisdom indeed

Ok thank u

What does this bot do

[sturdy sequoia]

internet points

[marsh lark]

its Yag, usually in this server, it gives rep

rep = useless internet points

[steady tangle]

Love me some useless internet points

[rapid merlin]

@steady tangle r u a hacker ?

[steady tangle]

I consider myself a junior ethical hacker although I am not formally employed in the field currently

[sturdy sequoia]

AI is like an intern. it gets the job done but you have to double check its work and fix its errors

[rapid merlin]

Wow so coool

[marsh lark]

aren't you OSEE and OSEP certified ||nothing||

[steady tangle]

So I can hit it right?

[soft meadow]

I just accidentally corrupted my 1 year old Kali Linux VM. I'm going to create a VM from scratch. Should I switch to Parrot os or continue with Kali?

[quick blaze]

no snapshots?

[marsh lark]

depends, I would not recommend any of those two for daily linux usage tbh

[soft meadow]

Yeah😭

[reef hazel]

If you can keep kail from breaking for a year then go with it lol

[marsh lark]

for attacking and just using it as an attacking machine, then kali

[steady tangle]

I agree with donut depends on what you’re using it for

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/car-garn47-47-cat-game-gif-18225718487563422536

[soft meadow]

To solve labs related to both red and blue teams

[steady tangle]

I would stick with Kali personally

[marsh lark]

not for daily linux use for other stuff, right? then kali

if its for daily linux use for like coding, important stuff, then don't using kali or parrot

[rapid merlin]

Y not parrot os, I heard it's good

[marsh lark]

you know why

[soft meadow]

Yeah only for cyber sec

[rapid merlin]

Y , i really don't know, I never used it

[steady tangle]

Kali is just more comprehensive

[soft meadow]

I will continue with kali thanks

[marsh lark]

eh, true

[sturdy sequoia]

yer i use kali for pentesting. it does the job

[digital estuary]

kali and parrot os <- not a real pentester or RTO👎🏼
linux from scratch + making your own custom programs and tools, real pentester & RTO👍🏼

[steady tangle]

Parrot OS is more light weight for beginners but I prefer Kali

[rapid merlin]

Give a man love and he'll trade a crown for a kiss, break his heart and he'll raise empires from the ashes of his pain

[marsh lark]

[steady tangle]

Lmao

[rapid merlin]

[marsh lark]

wut

ok

[rapid merlin]

aaron used his own linux

No cap

[quick blaze]

No.

[quick blaze]

#LFS

[marsh lark]

so, you want me to use arch? cool /j

[digital estuary]

literally programmed my own

[marsh lark]

Linux For Sale?

[digital estuary]

na, make your own kernel n all

:Trollface:

[marsh lark]

NYO

[digital estuary]

don't even use proprietary drivers, make your own too

[rapid merlin]

Wat that

[digital estuary]

linux from scratch

[rapid merlin]

Ah i see

[steady tangle]

I’d shoot myself

[rapid merlin]

Noice

[digital estuary]

linux from scratch makes you build your own linux system

[marsh lark]

ah lol

[sturdy sequoia]

solder your own motherboards

[rapid merlin]

Love makes men soft and betrayal sharpens him into steel

[rapid merlin]

U build own linux

[marsh lark]

I thought it was Linux for sale

[marsh lark]

[rapid merlin]

I thought it was linux from space

[marsh lark]

LOL

[digital estuary]

flash the integrated circuits and chips with libreboot

make your own CPU while you're at it, there are tutorials online to make your own CPU

[rapid merlin]

Can I make my own 5090

[digital estuary]

yes

[steady tangle]

I did it once in college for a project but that was enough for me

[marsh lark]

make your own RAM as well, its too expensive now

[digital estuary]

let me see the federal agents spy on me now

[rapid merlin]

U made 5090

Wow

[zenith sun]

I made my own RAM outta paper clips and Doritos like MacGyver. Then I hacked the world.

[digital estuary]

there is a drill outside my house drilling a deep hole for mineral extraction

[marsh lark]

[steady tangle]

No LFS

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/have-a-great-day-gif-13578415868193855261

[marsh lark]

tbh, I don't have the time to create LFS

[digital estuary]

do i go to the lithium deposit near me and borrow some lithium

[quick blaze]

'Borrow'

[steady tangle]

I don’t blame you I’ll probably never do it again

[digital estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/mining-pakistani-pakistani-miner-pakistani-mining-coal-gif-1265210761147612079

me going to the lithium mine to get some for my 100% DIY computer (i have paranoid schizophrenia and the federal agents are spying on me)

[rapid merlin]

Can I try it?

[soft meadow]

Or should I install Ubuntu and create a simpler system by installing only the tools I use?

[rapid merlin]

Y work more

Just go with kali
