[digital estuary]

jokes by the way!!

what kind tho

[dreamy swan]

You can install a vm ware on it and run Kali on it

[abstract latch]

well, if he's going to go down this path of learning, it's only a matter of time before he installs Linux

[digital estuary]

pretty sure most SOC stuff can be done on windows, anything red team will probably require you to at least have WSL or a VM running kali or anything

[digital estuary]

just like me

[dreamy swan]

Certainly

[hard ravine]

well if you are refering to SIEMs , SOAR etc well yes but you are connecting to those devices
so you are not running them on windows
those services themselves run on Linux

[languid island]

Uff this side quest 1 🥲 finally got the key to unlock now stuck on the first page

Day 3 walkthrough video has already been uploaded on YouTube but the challenge is still not live.

[lost ledge]

Hello, I don't want to make spam. Is any channel where I can share my walktroughs of the advent of cyber?

[steep sequoia]

Try your standard CTF opener

[sleek hare]

does anyone know a buletproof way to obfuscate code like hell and make it a living nightmare to deobfuscate it?

JS code

obfuscate from python if possible

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/catch-me-outside-uk-drill-drill-sr-sd-gif-25533777

[sleek hare]

(I need like code even if not python I can port its ok, but not something like API service)

[sleek hare]

jjencode sadly doesnt work in my case btw ^

[rapid merlin]

You're breaking your Mama's heart

[ivory trench]

Could you use something like this? https://github.com/javascript-obfuscator/javascript-obfuscator

[umbral bay]

After deploying the target machine, there will be a direct link available in Task 1 in the form of a URL.

[sleek hare]

chatgpt deobfuscated

thats the issue

the only thing it failed to deobfuscate was jjencode (from what I tested)

but port I found in python refuses to work with my js code

Warning! Unauthorized copying of this file, via any medium is strictly prohibited 
and will result in DMCA Takedown or lawsuit.

This file contains obfuscated code including your billing information.
Leaking the contents of this file will lead to account termination and leak of your billing information.
We have warned you about your data being here!

[grizzled sky]

memorize it in your head, people will have to literally learn how to mindread to get it out;

[sleek hare]

For now y best protection is injecting encoded billing infos

using whitespace or etc

[grizzled sky]

at least for now bci isn't a thing;

[sleek hare]

💀 so if person decides to leak it they will leak it

[sleek hare]

I wasn't joking bruh

I need real solution and not a "joke"

I don't want 40 hours of work I spent on creating music composer being leaked

[leaden marsh]

i'm readdy of course

[sleek hare]

I alr added tons of kill switches and billing info encoding

• file regen every request so its different

but its still not bulletproof

[grizzled sky]

that's not a joke, the human brain is currently the most secure way to obfuscate data;

[sleek hare]

....

Can you run it in browser? No.

[grizzled sky]

or you can write it in sand;

[sleek hare]

Can you run it in browser? No.

[grizzled sky]

then there is no perfect way;

hence its the wrong question;

[sleek hare]

heard that electron can hide pretty well js code from someone

unsure if thats true?

[grizzled sky]

what is the perfect game of chess?;

[sleek hare]

obv some dickhead could deobfuscate anything

[ivory trench]

If you're that worried about IP theft I think you would want to compile things on the backend before it's even part of the JS. You could then write something more complex and custom but past a certain point, that seems silly.

[sleek hare]

but I want to make it unpleasant at all

[grizzled sky]

then you're missing the point;

[sleek hare]

I got alr a lot of stuff going on backend

but still a lot of calculations, lead sheets, midi imports, etc + canvas are rendered by front end

[grizzled sky]

have it offend every spiritual and philosophical figure on earth and require the person saying things that will make them go to jail if said aloud in order for them to decrypt it;

[leaden marsh]

After I connect to vpn how to acess the attackbox PLEASE HELP ME

[velvet gull]

there is no attackbox

please read the instructions

unless youre not talking about aoc

[grizzled sky]

either way i think the problem here is you seem to misunderstand that obfuscation is not security;

[leaden marsh]

Okay got ir

[grizzled sky]

its a game of distractions;

[leaden marsh]

it its just machine and go to the website right

[grizzled sky]

and distraction is different for every attack vector;

[velvet gull]

yes

[sleek hare]

my code rn looks like this

[grizzled sky]

i stand by the spiritual and philosophical leaders though;

[sleek hare]

obfuscated

bet AI can solve

leme try

[grizzled sky]

imagine you had to type in blasphemus things for every religious figure and spiritual figure and philosophical figure;

[sleek hare]

I know

[grizzled sky]

that would immediately make it extremely unplesant for the vast majority of humans;

[sleek hare]

but I want to make them a pain to just take frontend js code and steal my code

[grizzled sky]

and even ai have things that prevent them saying religiously offensive things;

[grizzled sky]

then don't share it;

[sleek hare]

Want me to make AI say that?

[grizzled sky]

run it locally;

[sleek hare]

Well imagine its music composer app

I sell license

so they can use it

💀

What is point of running it locally if I wont earn money on it?

[grizzled sky]

information is free hun;

[glacial berry]

Completed todays task 👀

[grizzled sky]

capitalism is built on social contract;

not on techlogical encryption;

even blockchain is literally a programmed social contract;

[glacial berry]

https://tenor.com/view/pumped-im-so-happy-right-now-shouting-eyes-closed-gif-14345275

[grizzled sky]

just literally programmed;

[sleek hare]

I obv will DMCA the hell out of people who steal it

and even file lawsuit if need

💀 I dont want my code to be stolen

and trying to make it hard af

[grizzled sky]

what if the courts themselves say ip law is dead?;

[sleek hare]

....

[grizzled sky]

again you are thinking in the box;

but the box is society;

and society is flawed;

there is no perfect solution;

there's situational solutions;

[sleek hare]

alr

then I'm doing plan A

[grizzled sky]

and every solution has weakneses;

[sleek hare]

run NoVNC to VM

with app running

gud

[grizzled sky]

so running it locally;

[ivory trench]

https://tenor.com/view/we-live-in-a-society-society-joker-gamers-rise-up-gang-weed-gif-13919217

[sleek hare]

hard to steal if I lock it to only that app

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[grizzled sky]

unironically yes;

[grizzled sky]

obfuscation is not security;

[sleek hare]

and obv my obfuscator will no help

💀

[sleek hare]

Its a step to make life harder for code stealers

[grizzled sky]

its treated like it because society is built on obfuscation not security;

[sleek hare]

...

[grizzled sky]

every system is broken on its own;

but its obfuscated by layers;

[sleek hare]

A. Stop talking like that I don't understand you at all
B. Its annoying you repeat urself

[grizzled sky]

then why did you ask the question?;

[sleek hare]

I asked entire server not just you

World is not spinning around you

[grizzled sky]

if you understood me you'd understand its the wrong question;

its built on a faulty premise;

[velvet gull]

I mean there's nothing wrong with what they're saying, you can't ask someone to stop writing on a server you don't have any power on just cause you don't like the answer

[sleek hare]

Anyone else who knows how to obfuscate JS code like hell?

[ivory trench]

Be nice! They were actually being quite helpful

[sleek hare]

Not really in my eyes

Firstly I don't get them at all with their philosophy stuff and society stuff

[grizzled dock]

use a library on server side if you used js directly on html.

[sleek hare]

Yeah obviously thats what I'm trying to do

I dont know any good one

as chatgpt could deobf nearly everything but not JJEncode

bu JJEncode is not willing to work with my JS Code and libs I use for it

[grizzled dock]

ofuscadet code just reduce performance, aside from the obvius security through obscurity is not good at all

[sleek hare]

Its a good step to prevent some people stealing the code

[grizzled dock]

just my thoughs

[sleek hare]

Several people would walk away if they see obfuscated code

And not try to steal it

thats what I'm trying to archive

and if someone still decide to steal it

I want to make their life a hell

[grizzled sky]

see this is why i talked about society. its built foundationally on the false concept of owning ideas;

[night pendant]

good point

[grizzled sky]

and your question is built on the premise of owning code;

[sleek hare]

It is obviously not own idea

anyone can do music composer

but its a pretty rare thing to see especially in browser

my service is paid - 5 USD / 3mo

and I want to keep my code save from stealing

as its pretty good quality composer app

[grizzled dock]

Sorry, the service itself is all exposed in client side?

[grizzled sky]

then keep it closed source;

[sleek hare]

Not fully

It has got backend

but canvas etc on client side obviously

same to some calculations which are also done on backend

[grizzled sky]

sever side code exists for this exact reason;

[sleek hare]

but without them being exposed you can't do some stuff in canvas

No, why?

[grizzled sky]

to try to actually secure code;

[sleek hare]

Users can't acces server code

[grizzled sky]

javascript is not a good language for this though because it has to run client side;

at least to some degree;

so you can reverse engineer it if you are set on it;

[sleek hare]

???

Why would I obfuscate backend?

Nobody can access it besides me

[grizzled sky]

look up endpoint security;

all data is input and output;

[sleek hare]

I did check the app api 💀

[grizzled dock]

I agree, but regardless you can use any kind of ofuscation tool that pops in google as long as it does not have any bunlde in sec.
But there's not functional point since what you can see on fron is not sensitive nor important bussisnes info.

[grizzled sky]

which means all output can be tested to reverse engineer the backend;

[crisp crater]

hi chat

[sleek hare]

Don't worry its pretty damm bulletproof

atleast my knowledge failed to hack into the app

extract its code

or do any executions on server side

[fading kettle]

Oi

[grizzled sky]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-theres-always-a-bigger-fish-the-phantom-menace-gif-15951236

[sleek hare]

Have fun reverse engineering mp3 file parts 😭

[grizzled sky]

assume someone, somewhere, can beat your game;

[sleek hare]

Have fun reverse engineering mp3 file parts 😭

[grizzled sky]

hence why i say its like chess;

for every strategy there's a counter;

[sleek hare]

the only thing backend does

is create mp3 file parts

and stream it to frontend

and check license

💀 so um

ah and create .lumi format for frontend

[grizzled sky]

thats why attack surface reduction is so important;

[sleek hare]

to make canvas

• give current timestamp of rendered chunk

[grizzled sky]

true obfuscation is make it so no one thinks they want to hack it;

[sleek hare]

Thats what I'm doing!

[grizzled sky]

and the worst way to do that is obfuscate so much people assume its hiding something good;

its like building a 10 hour dungeon that is designed to protect your family photos;

the fact someone goes to such lengths indicates there's something valuable if its revealed;

the larger the surface area for attack, the increasing odds someone better than you will beat you at your game;

[bold dawn]

hello friends, I am back

[sleek hare]

I mess with a lot of people

who love stealing stuff

and just simple obfuscation doesnt stop them

[quartz nest]

Hey

[grizzled sky]

you're also telling everyone you are trying to hide something valuable on a hacker forum;

[fading kettle]

Can someone hack Elon Musk's account for me?🥀

[grizzled sky]

that alone is bad security regardless of obfuscation;

[sleek hare]

💀 Amazing idrc

I asked how to obfuscate something

[bold dawn]

no thnx

[fading kettle]

I will pay him 0.1¢

[bold dawn]

ooo actually

[sleek hare]

• I don't think someone would want to leak their legal billing infos while trying to deobfuscate file or just by leaking code

[bold dawn]

that's worth it

[wispy coral]

hey i've a doubt, i was connecting to openvpn. even after connecting it to the openvpn and thm says it's connected .but still i'm not able to see any connection on http://10.10.10.10 . anyone please suggest fix

[fading kettle]

Ya

[grizzled sky]

true obfuscation is being invisible;

so no one knows you are obfuscating;

[sleek hare]

thats why I turn it all to whitespace

✌️

seems like running it localy is best way

unless I make jjencode work

[hushed carbon]

Is there iot hacking room

[sleek hare]

wait...

why don't I just use my programming language

for front end..

[hushed carbon]

Yours?

[sleek hare]

Yes

I made programming language which can be run in browsers

got rust version and JS version

[pearl sedge]

I get unable to establish a connection with the SMTP server. Try again. Error in physhing room

In advent of server 2025

[hushed carbon]

Is it react

Or angular

[sleek hare]

Normal JS?

I compiled it to JS

I made several versions

[hushed carbon]

Tim

[sleek hare]

two for backend / linux and windows

[hushed carbon]

Or scrubz

[sleek hare]

and one for frontend (web) / JS

[hushed carbon]

Or jabba

[velvet gull]

jabba left

[sleek hare]

frotnend one is around 105x times slower than backend one

[hushed carbon]

What why

[sleek hare]

[ivory trench]

@sleek hare Have you looked at paid solutions?

[velvet gull]

theres a post in announcements

[sleek hare]

I don't want API service

I mentioned that

and most paid solutions are API services

[hushed carbon]

I dont see

Can u link it

[sleek hare]

such a shame JS is not LUA

obfuscation in LUA is hell alive

and I have tool for that

LUAU* tool tho

but it should work on normal LUA

yes that roblox luau obfuscation :3

wait

web assembly is a thing

[sleek hare]

I ain't learning that

[sleek hare]

WHY DONT I USE WEB ASSEMBLY

[bold dawn]

so left probably right before my baby was born

[hushed carbon]

Who uses it

[sleek hare]

nah tbh my programming language seems easiest option as it alr should be compatible

[tropic sluice]

Doesn't military grade generally mean that it sucks

[sleek hare]

so moving my code to it

should firstly

make headache to understand what I coded

and well- use it?

[sleek hare]

this is why I use NASA Grade

[wispy coral]

h

[grizzled sky]

when i think of good obfuscation, i think of obi wan kenobi. in star wars, he's the last jedi alive. but why is that? he literally went to the planet darth vader hates most, and then hid away in literally the middle of no where and acted like "crazy ben" out in the middle of the desert;

[celest dirge]

Why NASA when you could go LockHeed Martin Grade

[hushed carbon]

My school is freezing

[grizzled sky]

the reason ben was able to stay alive was because he hid exactly where he was least expected to be;

[sleek hare]

yep

[grizzled sky]

yoda did the same thing. he literally was targeted by the emperor and every sith still alive, and so he went to the middle of fucking no where in a swamp and hid out;

[sleek hare]

I will go just compile my code to wem

seems easiest option

web assembly hard to turn back into original code

[grizzled sky]

so serverside self hosted code? yes;

[sleek hare]

only reverse engineering

[hushed carbon]

Did scrubz leave too

[tropic sluice]

Idk what ur talking about so probably go to #site-support or something

[celest dirge]

just make a rust program that doesn't run in browsers and browsers just remote into the app if the goal is obfuscating;

[celest dirge]

Depends on what you want to learn, just start with the foundations and build from there. If you're into Red Teaming or Blue Teaming, TryHackMe is a beginner friendly platform to start.

[novel epoch]

Ooh oki.. I m from india

[novel epoch]

I already started tryhackme

[steep sequoia]

TryHackMe and Codeacadmey are both great starting points depending on what you want to learn

Hi, I need help with a streak issue.
My TryHackMe ID: HimanshuSharma.2
My streak was at 179 days and I used a freeze, but when I logged in and completed a task today, it skipped 180 and directly jumped to 181.
Because of this, I didn’t receive the 180-day badge and reward.
Can someone please check and help?

[regal dawn]

[subtle cairn]

is there any apps i should download for cybersecurity?(im a beginner)

[tawny bolt]

What are you looking for exactly? Like commonly used software? Or learning materials

[subtle cairn]

not for learning

commonly used software

[hard ravine]

Wireshark , Burp , John , Hashcat , Openvas . . . theres enough softwares to reach discord msg limit. What are you specifically looking for ?

[subtle cairn]

im still in pre security so i really dont know alot, is it neccessary to download one of them?

[hard ravine]

dpends what you want to do , cybersecurity is mile wide and a mile deep

do security 101 after you finished presec and you will learn what you need there

THM provides there labs and you can explore and experiment there

I've got Jenkins, Redmine, ZoneMinder, HomeAssist, a print server, my nginx reverse proxy for 3-5 web servers, a tiny PostgreSQL DB for testing, a Quake 2 server, Jellyfin, and two instances of Wireguard. Plus some odds and ends, and a few VMs that aren't running

[gritty bane]

i dont know how to swim either and i dont wanna learn

[slow cloud]

Whaaat

[gritty bane]

last time i tried to learn to swim i legit almost drowned 😂

[hard ravine]

wtf how much resources does your server have ? how much is your electric bill ?

I've got a VPN, Jellyfin and Nas but they are all separated devices

[narrow heart]

It's a single Epyc 3251 node with 128GB RAM. A bit overprovisioned on CPU but as long as everything doesn't max out at once...

My NAS is separate, and I've been meaning to spin off the postgres db... it's way too small of a VM for any real db use

[hard ravine]

ohh fuck off , you have a full fledged enterprise grade servers

[rapid merlin]

New angle of dat stinky cat

[narrow heart]

the 3251 was open-box from Newegg, it's an ITX board w/ embedded Epyc. 55W, 3.1GHz boost

[hard ravine]

how much did you pay for the amd epyc

[gritty bane]

just for that comment you're never seeing argus

I'm hoping maybe someone can help me, but I might have to go through THM support. I used to be able to SSH into my Kali VM running on Proxmox, connect the kali box to the THM VPN and then complete challenges by using my main computer for the website and the kali VM to do the tasks. Recently I changed the subnet of my network to be 10.10.<vlan>.10 and I think this is causing problems. Whenever I connect to the VPN on my kali box it kills my SSH connection. I also just tried VPNing straight from my main computer and I can't access 10.10.10.10 (this is a real IP on my network). Is there some way around this?

Hwhatt

[celest dirge]

Yooo, same thing happened to me earlier today.

[sleek hare]

aa

[sleek hare]

happens daily for me

atleast I got just lectured and yelled at

Not beaten up today

i literally asked my mom several time while lecture to leave me alone...
is it that hard- idk i just get like panic or sum when people are near me and she just continues

and comes even closer to me

[austere verge]

Sounds like me when I was 15

[sleek hare]

😭 wtf is wrong with her

[sleek hare]

happens to me since I remember myself

But yh I'm 15

[celest dirge]

My dad's lecture was awful, gave me an entire storyline dialogue 😭

[austere verge]

Well asking her to leave u alone def won’t work

[sleek hare]

At some point she said:
Gosh he needs therapist oe something
My brain: YES OBVIOUSLY I NEED ONE IF YOU'LL CONTINUE TREATING ME LIKE AN ITEM-

[sleek hare]

ikr-

nothing works on her

whatever

It was just lecture atleast..

Usually I'd get beaten up for no reason

So yey I guess..?

still mood ruined

[steep sequoia]

I mean telling someone to go away during a lecture is know to work well

[sleek hare]

Doubt

I just literally idk if she could see

I had literal internal pain attack

Two people

Staring at me

Close to me

And I hate when people are near me

No I'm not autistic but I still ahte people

And she just continues

Yelling

Lecturing me

[celest dirge]

I get yelled at for no reason, and when I say something logical my dad doesn't listen and tries to negate it with "Stop trying to act like you're smart"

[sleek hare]

For

[celest dirge]

Good times

[sleek hare]

No damm reason

While both her and dad watching me and standing near me

Bruh

Whatever

I'll go sleep

11:35 pm

Goodnight

[celest dirge]

G'night, take care and sleep well!

[austere verge]

I’m better at dealing with it now

[sleek hare]

I'm not any better

Only worse

[austere verge]

Also I’m too old to get yelled at

[sleek hare]

Before I could ignore it

[austere verge]

Anymore

[sleek hare]

But now I literally can't

This all just collects over time

And now I have issues with communicating with people as I literally get panic attacks

Or thinking that someone will punch me

[celest dirge]

I treat it as "Customer Support" training XD

[sleek hare]

can someone help me with the linux cli task i completed it but it still says 88% there’s no questions that needs to be answered or anything

[stoic quarry]

Are there any tasks that need to be completed on the VM?

They look a bit different to the normal questions

[summer trellis]

i did those only thing i can recall is it asking about a secret image png i believed

[steep sequoia]

Did you tick the first one in task 1 ?

[hard ravine]

do i know you ?

[summer trellis]

yea task one is 100% done and task 2 i did all the questions and it told me to search for a secret png but ive been searching for 20 minutes now

[steep sequoia]

You can just tick the extra tasks if you don’t want to do them

That will get you 100%

[stoic quarry]

This is for the AOC?

[hushed carbon]

yes

[summer trellis]

i’ll try this

[celest dirge]

I agree with this, best you can do is deal with it and move on. If you didn't do anything wrong, nothing to worry about, they're either haters or just negative, and there will be people who are like that out there. Just keep pushing through the storm, and soon enough, at one point, you'll see a beautiful rainbow 🌈

[long lotus]

nah... you should not frame it

[hushed carbon]

why

is it not good

[long lotus]

You should treat it as what it is: transient, low value output from a surveillance capitalist system. Acknowledge it, perhaps file it mentally under "Interesting Algorithmic Quirk," and then move on with your life. ☕

[hushed carbon]

???

[long lotus]

you are asking the wrong question

[hushed carbon]

im doing Palo Alto Networks Academy Cybersecurity Fundamentals rn

[hard ravine]

not worth almost nothing but you should share it on linkedin though

[long lotus]

your question is a subjective, value based query. It implies there is a good or "bad" answer. In our field in any rigorous field, we ask "What is its function? What is its utility?

[hushed carbon]

im gonna buy comptia a+ and sec+ are those worth framing

[hard ravine]

dont do that A+ is overpriced garbage you dont need that just go for Sec+ and maybe CCNA if you are serious about getting a job

[sand trench]

merp with shadow.. to the beep boop for the sleep sloop while going merp morp meep moop

[hushed carbon]

i will do all 3

i spent hours a day studying for a+

[hard ravine]

study the material but dont get the cert you are spending hundreads for a cert thats not worth anything

[long lotus]

yeah

in short

lol

[hard ravine]

hey why u delete

[hard ravine]

Sec+ (Its basic , it tells the employer that you have "interests in sec")
**Net+ or CCNA **(its for networking you will need to know networking anyway. Network+ is generic while CCNA is cisco focused and much more extensive then Network+ i would suggest to go for CCNA if you are serious about the Job aspect , theres a full course from Jeremy on Youtube )
CEH (I fucking hate this one but this one will get you hired its the poster child of every HR it covers ethical hacking)
eJPT (little brother of CEH but more theoritical)
BSCP (Burp Suite Certified Practitioner its a very very good cert it covers burp suite software which is used for webapplication pentesting )
AWS Cloud Practitioner (Basic of cloud)
**BTL1 **(Blueteam level 1 which is considered Entrylevel in Blueteam and its actually valued , even BCS recognises them[24hour openbook exam])
CCD(Certified Cyber Defender , its basically BTL1 but much more extensive [48 hours open book exam])
SplunkCore(Splunk is a SIEM tool heavily utilised by enterprise's in SOC environments )
**OSCP **(Another poster boy , its considered Advanced and its universally recognised by everyone)

THM Certs compliments them if you want to do them as well but they themselves are not as recognised or valued as others
if you got the money to go for it then go for it
**all of them listed are all good certs **

[hushed carbon]

how much is all this

[hard ravine]

you dont have to do all of them , its whats in demand and will actually get you hired

[rough hedge]

this is a good list thanks

[hard ravine]

in theory you could get Sec+ and CCNA and start working tomorrow in IT

[hard ravine]

no problem

[hard ravine]

@gritty bane

[silver hornet]

[hushed carbon]

should i do a+ if i wanna be help desk

[hard ravine]

as i said study the materials , A+ is not worth the paper
instead of A+ go for Sec+ it will still get you a help desk , matter of fact most people with Sec+ starts from helpdesk

should i do sec+ for this

[silver hornet]

CCNA

[hybrid mica]

[hard ravine]

This is not something that even Sec+ will prepare you for if they say firewall i have a feeling they are not talking about your windows 11 firewall they are talking about full fledged enterprise firewalls
i agree with @silver hornet You need CCNA for that

[gritty bane]

disgusting

i will just make my own made up cert and forge one
