Hey everyone, sorry to butt in, I'm new to hacking and would love to connect with experienced folks to learn the ropes.
oh dude you're infected now
welcome. #start-here
Ohhhh noooooo
Am I tho ?
I didn't download anything
Hi and Welcome!
Need the disinfector 9000
How is there water under the ocean
Heavy water (deuterium oxide, 2H2O, D2O) is a form of water in which hydrogen atoms are all deuterium (2H or D, also known as heavy hydrogen) rather than the common hydrogen-1 isotope (1H, also called protium) that makes up most of the hydrogen in normal water. The presence of the heavier isotope gives the water different nuclear properties, and...
I don't think they have access to it tho...
you are not going to believe me... the answer is... yes\
otherwise known as gravity.....DAMN YOU GRAVITY!!!
||EPA disagrees||
Take that back!
عربي ؟؟
lmao you legit wiped it lmao
Thanks to everyone who welcomed me.
be ethical going forward
What if he is citizen of NK
And Kim asks him to heck google
you are right, we must help the starving oppressed ones
ethics are relative to the society and institutions of which you belong. However, they are also adopted by the philosophies that a person adopts.
lets honeypot the person and examine the traffick and objectives
Hey guys,
I am a SOC analyst in training. Glad to be here, looking forward to learn and grow with you all guys
Yo
welcome

lets learn you a thing or 5
Hey guys, what is advent of cyber? A competition or what is it? I want to join it but i dont know what is it and how to join

It's over
where yuou find that?
@blissful current you might help?
Ok
Sure bro
What ok wait I just woke up , lemme turn on my laptop
Next year dec
I am ready
OWLsec discord got CTF events every now and then
Currently ya can join socL1
Aight
Already enrolled
Taken like 5 days to get my assessment results n they still aren't in.
not very encoraging
Last assessment before my certificate as well
No worries brother I am not from NK, I am an Indian
And I have all my own ethics
Real
Sun ke accha laga
I am south Indian bro , I don't know Hindi
what are your goals?
To learn great stuff
It's ok,
Thats not necessary
please ping me once then
To hack into martian base
elaborate so we can help
Anyone learning Defensive?
what is the ask?
I am interested to know how data are stored , how they are transferred wireless and many more about it
do the courses in THM and they will teach you that
I am learning open source tools, but want to get exposure to industry tools like falcon, sentinel... But they are paid.. Any
oh yes yes yes i need you to build a business for my website
I need both
these look like on the job training platforms
haha, i learned how to build my first website in like 1998
I can help
guys im a bit new to openvpn why does it not want to let me connect to any linux machines on thm it only connects to windows
I told you that before already, please let the mods deal with it instead of doing it on your own 🙏
my parents were in high school then 😭
Didn't get
Ok so , its regex ,
hint for u , see the differences and common things in those words and make the regex shorthand
oh apologies
I believe if one can find loophole in them is the one who fully understood it
Is this sector dead now ??
next step would be youtube or find a 3rd party
I connected it with ubuntu and kali works fine tho
building websites is not a lucritave field
what about rdc
Ok.
You're currently working?
And @quasi galleon please make sure to read about the #rules on our server. Advertising/promoting etc. is not allowed in here.
I deleted
not sure what's next. 1/2 integers are there in last
What is rdc pls explain as I am a professional idiot
Its short for remote desktop control
did u go through the shorthand terms ?
u kinda answered ur own question in that question btw , you're close
About that I have only ssh with it
It worked fine
why you ask?
"shorthand" terms?
I read here something called metacharactrers. there are so many options for numbers. \d, \w, \S. I tried them. but the confusion is that single "2" file2
If yes... Then can you share some insights of how it is different than training and practicing in personal lab.
If no,
We can learn together 🤝
see in each word are there just 2 digits
?
hope you enjoy them ^^
count the digits , not the number
working in the field means your actions have consequences
alr
Yes I know that.... But I want to know about the process
Not consequences
well, the process is different for every single job
haiiiiii
In this proffesion, no. Do I practice what I know daily, yes.
no two jobs are the same
the answer is in this message of urs
fuck*
I am asking about SOC L1 roles

😭
I don't work as a pentester, but I imagine it's a lot like construction. Do the principles always apply? yes. will it ever be exactly the same as practice/learning? sometimes, maybe. Will you constantly have to adapt to the current environment to apply the principles? Most likely just about every time.
yes, no two jobs are the same, they use different technologies, workflows, strategies, corporate structures, etc
thanks man @blissful current (for a rep)

read job descriptions in your area, learn what they want, and practice that
try that red team path then ^^
well well well
Look at you Math!
Hi there
Grats on 0xD
Yes.... So can you please clear one doubt.
I have setup splunk and wazuh server and deployed agents in windows and Linux VM.
Now I will simulate attacks and try to detect, prevent and investigate. I know how to do it, but I want to do it in a way like real SOC
What's been happening?
No I am specifically asking for SOC roles
okay and?
Gave +1 Rep to @stone shadow (current: #2301 - 2)
why does my advice not apply to soc roles
Greetings mathematics
Not much, packing up for some travling till tomorrow. Kiddo needs some checkups in another city
I am doing it everyday but still knowing from someone who is working is 10x better for juniors
hackthebox dot com might fill your curiosuty
Hope everything is ok
I want a mentor, from whom I can learn what exactly company's are looking and how to make my work visible
I was just warned not to advertise
you won't get that here
nobody has the time or willing for that
Are you from india?
not for free anyways
looks like so
Everyone here is doing job I think
It does,
But in my case.. I know what I am expected to do in the role... I am just asking if someone actually working in that role
Since everyone from India looks for a hacking mentor
neh am unemployed
yeah thats not a good link
Yeah it's the one I am looking forward to start asap
Thats an XSS
very nefaurious of you
you dumb? haha
Yes..... Is that bad?
job descriptions tell you what you're expected to do 90% of the time
*Defense
Im bonsai
what is that a 80s boomer mentality?
No why would it be? It is just obvious that are since you think you need a mentor for somewhat reason.
Dig in, do the training, it will take you a long time, even longer if you sit here on discord and not trying
But sometimes they just ask too many things for one role. Which doesn't make any sense
No, but everyone that looks for a mentor here are from india
@blissful current I don't want to be lazy, but I can't figure out what's the mistake here 
in all honesty karma, everyone i've seen ask for a mentor has been from india
well thats tru tho ngl lol
yeah, it's how it works
Right now I am traveling, and no here at least I can get exposure if you all share the good things about yourselves
You are the one we send of to see if the cave is safe
Why does anyone even need a mentor
nutty putty cave :3
whut

@sturdy sequoia he wants you to share so he get exposure
Are you guys really think asking for a mentor is bad?
so math has an ego and is deceptive
Do you have a loving family with 3 kids and 600k worth of house ?
im so confused by this conversation
no, but it's unrealistic
No, but why? Why do you think you need one
nobodies going to do that for you for free
I have no idea, I just wing it as usual
neh , but you got tons of sources to learn yourself rather than asking a mentor , use the FAFO method and explore around yourself
oh got it. kali\s+tools 
I overlooked the double space
Just write things out of context and leave 😄

i like network pentesting
oh honey, you don't know about the nutty putty cave incident?

Good morning
Anyone see 28 years later part 2?
anything good there?
I am learning on my own.... I want a mentor so that the common mistakes can be avoided
Well where I am its cold, so no
Trump won third time
That is what you learn from refused Bug bounty reports 😄
how cold? it's 12F here

that will not happen, he will OD on McD first
make those common mistakes so that u can avoid them on your own , coz learning from mistakes is the best way to LEARN
everyday i pray
me too
Nope... I am just changing my mentality... So I came across to look for yours
Lmao 🤣
( in a nice way, like just a cough. I keep it pg13)
Who let Trump talk tho...
ice has been spotted in my city 😔
learn, practice, repeat
Everytime he talks I feel a child talks
I am sorry to hear that

@blissful current yea I got the answer in just 5 sec
now stuck in another question. figuring out the answer
Port forwarding
oh oh oh let me do you one better!
internet -> router : port
the port is a ftp server that allows anonymous login :D

Ok.... I wi listen to it
I let it slide since you are new 🙂

You leaked the list ?
it's relatively new, but we've done some pretty cool stuff
But why you're related politics

i didn't make that choice
Can anyone explain me port farwarding in vc.... I'm biggner learning network

Ask gpt
people need to mind their own business regarding certain things
So like opening your router to internet ?
esp govt
I I'm too dumb to understand from there
Leave it, closed it.just do something similar to containment or isolate in SecOps
In computer networking, port forwarding or port mapping is an application of network address translation (NAT) that redirects a communication request from one address and port number combination to another while the packets are traversing a network gateway, such as a router or firewall. This technique is most commonly used to make services on a ...

@tight trout just check detraced research page, and the ransowmare look quite stupid
Abrakadabra
I hate that it’s that
so do you
Who even put their paypal in a ransomware😭
¯_(ツ)_/¯
smart people
fr, it's such bullshit
See you guys..... Feels nice
I mean the ransomware creator, not detraced
ah, sorry then
Send me paypal F&F and I send you ransomware back
yeah it was very skid made
Well why go through so much work just straight to the point
Cuz who put their email and paypal account in a ransomware😭
ooooh
legit i was on the phone with paypal for like 2-3 hours trying to talk to someone to get the account taken down
burner account, no trace back to them
I like that idea
Hum yea
Let me read more, im love that page
The E account lol
I heard this site is migrating to TryLoadMe

Does the ransomware actually encrypt files?
yes
That is the whole POINT
Yea
Yes
the betray/webrat one? they had about 100+ samples
shit ton of malware
I can't even get the question @blissful current

we've been taking a good long break
I remember i encountered wannacry on my grandpa tablet before
wrong pin sorry. @blissful current
it's all voluntary so i've needed some mental health time
But i dont think it is really wannacry cuz when i delete it, it just disappear
\d \w etc
similar S and s are there
got it
Wanna cry was almost decade ago

And i encountered it in like 2018
after studying windows persistence i've decided to just always nuke the drive because holy shit nope nope nope nope
And it is likely a fake one cuz when i deleted it, it disappeared
that's what you think
But if I ain't wrong wanna cry was windows based
How it affected android
I dont even know😭😭😭
any other hint please?

BLEUUUUU
I'm new to Cybersecurity field just started learning since yesterday... For now learning networking .... Any tips u guys can give me
Haven't seen Bleu in a while
bleu and i have 10 mut friends and 8 mut servers
Error rate ?
TCM youtube

10 - 20, haven't checked recently. Planning to give it a try again
Edge is the best browser 👍
yea no shit its the best browser .... ||To install another browser||
I installed edge on my ubuntu
I miss Microsoft Internet Explorer
Through firefox
I don't know about Cybersecurity in thm but what they explained about networking is not good... I need deep understanding that I can't get from there
you need to learn the basics first
it will come with time
take book or some videos understand from there in detail if ur basics are clear about it
@pulsar yacht , pinging you again

Bait so bad that fishes died
Slime monster
Actually i dont understand barely anything cuz my english is just too bad but i think this article still very great
how is it 8 not 9 where it says match every 9-character string.
what I answered was just a guess after the failure attempts with 9
Wait im actually understanding things in the article, omg
Indexing ??
Omg you wrote it on actual paper for them, legend
Maybe
could you elaborate please?
indexes start from 0 and not 1
Keep learning
Focus on network fundamentals
@blissful current @frail zenith any hint this time?
last question of the task 
I tried S, w.
failed
Me too, keep learning, dont give up, one day u can join defcon,cisco live, blackhat,...
I just took a pic of my setup with ubuntu and my friend told me "r u hacking the bank*
honestly, you guys can join it rn too
Yea tbh
But the ticket is too expensive
[\w._]+ something like this ?
.? and w+

could you please explain?
@tight trout Great article tbh
Both in USA and I don't think customs gonna allow me after seeing my social media
Now I am too interested to read that
hmm
U should read it
Which room btw
regex
uhhh ...well ok
so ...these two should help , read them
@stone shadow
:3
💜
it's too straightforward for people like me:)
I swore myself not to use AI for this week. and I'm having so much trouble rn
will start next task after a short break
Don't worry about it. They wouldn't care
Yo i think i found the ransomware yt channel
I mean... how bad can it really be lol
but regex was fun. it made my day.
thanks @blissful current @frail zenith for being with me<3

Then Dont use AI for answers but use it for learning and asking it questions
just like in old days coders used to go to Stackoverflow for solution understanding
I agree with Karmanya03
got it. I'm just exhausted of its language. false motivation, stupid encouragement and all
There are walkthrough in medium for all rooms actually
So if ya don't understand they explain every answer too...
Yes I am aware. Even I do writeups on medium. It is good. Just dont go there for answers
And yt videos too
Always go there for guidance
Put prompts like "explain this shit like you are teaching a 5yo or in simple easy words with example" or sum shit like this lol
thats too hard

F1 redbull?

Hey Vigor.
teach it to me in muppets
it follows for 3-4 responses then back to its original persona
People says if u understand networking properly then Cybersecurity become easier

Why did I read it Bluebull
That is correct
RedBull in general.
Imagine red bull style hacking
Redbull is amazing for all nighters

Not from the island thats for sure
@tight trout i found this link look like the scam website from yt https://retrachelp.xyz/ herr it is if u want reseach

That's the problem
I don't think I am in mood to turn myself on 😭
It sounds so wrong
Okay so from what I see, this link takes you to a website which is a malware distribution page.
It asks you to run some stupid powershell command which you should never do. Its quite funny ngl.

yeah lol, i thought we were too

No.

Im confused
What abt this?
Nothing about it.
Lol
Hello guys
I will change my os
From windows 10 to Linux to go on with my cyber security course
Which distro should i use
Just install on VM
cachyos
Thats more than enough
cachyos is good
I want a good distro that is commonly used so i don't suffer with issues alone
I tried it it was very slow
And not convinet
Might be resource allocation issue but np
Install TempleOS
Out of these Ubuntu would be better as a daily driver
Is that commonly used
that's way more than enough for a vm
A lot of people use it
You should WANT issues. It will give you sidequests to learn more.
also look into optimizing your vm software
Will that be better to learn cyber security
Absolutely.
eh, difference between sidequest to make a system service and "oh fuck oh shit oh fuck oh shit"
The vm
yes
Yes
it's how the industry works
what is -E in linux
for what command?
yeah -E
For what command
Why is that an advantage
How it will helps
oh ok, thanks for the help
Gave +1 Rep to @tight trout (current: #30 - 379)
-E is an option/argument for another command. Plenty of programs will use -E
Wut lol
why is it better to have two computers on one computer? uh, think about it
¯_(ツ)_/¯
what?!
-E isnt a command, it's an option that follows another command. We can't help if we don't know hat the first command was.
Having more isn't always good but i wanna understand how and why i should utilize this
ok let me send the whole command
unused ram / cpu cores are wasted, might as well use them all
If you break it to much or you dont understand something and want to restart then you can just do that, don't need to lose anything
Just get a damn virtual machine and 2 monitors third is your laptop and you will become 
@stoic quarry grep -E "Failed password|Invalid user" /var/log/auth.log | uniq is the command
You do this!?
Yeah
Using your own Machine as the attack box is already one step more difficult than the provided box in THM. Daily driving linux is another step.
But if you wish to totally transition to linux on your main machine, you can. But you have to be wary about going through the modules on your main machine since you may run into OS issues along the way. Issues on your main OS = risk the data on your drive.
run man grep
That's more logical
If you man grep you can read the documentation and find out what -E is used for
I dont have a desktop im only using my laptop
It will not be used if i have Linux as main distro
ohh yeah man command, i forgot bout that command
lol
It's useful
With vm or main distro
And which vm should i use
I have a kali vm on windows 11 
I don't like windows 11 at all i prefer to stick to 10
If i will not change it to a completely different os away from windows
Fair enough
Why not run Linux and a VM for your THM modules?
Explain more I don't get what you mean
Linux runs way better with vm than on windows 11 btw it uses the kernel for virtualization
No one's stopping you from daily driving linux, but it is highly recommended that you use a VM for your THM tasks.
Found it -E is to find any specific pattern inside a file
I will get a vm then but which vm should i get
yee, regex
Oracle or VMware
Yep. Do you understand the rest of the command?
am I ok topost songs here?
Highly based on your preference. Just dive in and do it.
Virtual Manager
yeah, I have used grep million of times, but didn't use -E lol, I get it cheers
You don't have to min max everything esp when it comes to which virtualization software you're gonna use.
thank you
Gave +1 Rep to @tight trout (current: #29 - 380)
uh, practice punctuation
I more meant piping grep to another program
Offensive or defensive?
\n doesn't count as punctuation?
I mean what do you recommend and i am not totally beginner i have some knowledge but i wanna get a vm that will give all i might need without having to change it again
erm that's a special character
lol won't get far then
ohh, yeah alr
Coding skills?
Can you tell me why do you recommended it
There's no significant difference based on the options you mentioned. At least in my experience.
Gave +1 Rep to @tight trout (current: #29 - 381)

How long is your experience and which one you are using
Really!
no
You'll only need c/c++/c# when you get to build an DLL for a specific use case, in rest you'll do everything in python
State Radio is such an underminded group
You can be the best cybersecurity analyst, penetration tester, whatever. But if you can not effectively give your ideas in a neat and tidy manner to the C-Suite, then you'll struggle to go far in the field. It's the soft skills like grammar and speaking that matters most in the field. Anyone can learn the tools and etc. But not everyone has the soft skills.
You will find a difference as soon as you narrow down your specific use case. Until then, you can use anything and then simply migrate to another if necessary.
soft skills go hard
thats actually true
Soft skills get you hard cash
no, it's popular but everyone has their own scripting language of choice
Gave +1 Rep to @brittle kraken (current: #668 - 11)
ohh ok right
Just choose any and go with it. You will find the best answers for you with time.
Sure, I'm currently working as a senior penetration tester so most of the time I'm online and able to help
No need to overthink this

It should have been alright....
I get what you mean but can you tell me which os you are using and which vm and why and can you tell me how far is your experience
dont suppose you have a workflow/operations manual/methodologies/etc. youd like to share?
I agree

But you know organising the setup and understanding how it works is also considered good or am o wrong
He's singing at us
aight im off to bed
are we being serronaded? courted even?
it's wayyy too late
I think so
Scan, find open ports, find something interesting then break stuffs 
Real
Haha i was hoping for more of a long form, detailed, workflow
What I miss?
Gain access then break stuffs. Pentesting usually starts with the assumed breach methodology
HTB boxes are much harder than real life pentesting 
So with your job is it more free form or improv, rather than following a set methodology?
At my company, as long as you don't break production, you're allowed to do whatever
Sounds great honestly
Let's say you hire a new pen tester, do you give them any operations manuals or training? Sorry for all the questions, I haven't done any jobs in security, but all the IT jobs I've done have loads of documentation to follow. Sounds like it's different for pen testing
they seem to work in an incredibly permissive internal environment
Sadly we only hire based on previous experience and knowledge from interviews
Can someone explain to do what does dns requesting even do?
have you or do you do any pentesting work?
Think of it like a phone book.
have and do for certain clients
A book where you have phone numbers?
do you have offical workflows or operations manuals?
Computers don't talk to www.google.com they talk to their IP, we use www.google.com because who's going to remember all the addresses for websites such as 142.250.190.14.
not ones unsubject to NDA 😅
basically you ask the dedicated servers (e.g. 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8) to figure out what the ip for the domain/subdomain, so that you can make the connection to that
haha that was going to be my next question
it doesn't give the roadmap to the site, but it's like googling for the address, rather than the GPS route there
Oh
Yes
Thank you to two of you scrubz and dread
Ayo by the way at what age did ya all enter cybersec is it too late for me ?
Whats yours?
- check local cache first.
- uses a resolver
- if it the resolver doesn't help, it will ask other places in order
a) TLD (.org, .com)
b) TLD servers
c) Authoritive servers
Now I've given you enough for you to research.
who here has tried cisco networking academy? is it worth the time?
I started when I was in school.
Back then, it was a whole different ball game. 😄
it is worth it for fundamentals
here's a fun one too, you can be your own DNS as well. an example would be /etc/revolv.conf, but on a larger level (like in AD environments), you can run DNS server options for local network connections

or for externals too
What is thr minimum requirement of going into cybersecurity?
Nah your good
Passion.
(i.e. you can make google.com route to, say, bing.com instead)
also welcome back Julius
...Why would you?
thanks, Tao. happy to see you here too
Gave +1 Rep to @wind tree (current: #65 - 174)
AIN NO ONE reading allat
Dang straight out of a movie
4 teh lulz.
but seriously tho, you could use that as an attack option (DNS hijacking)
No, I was referring to the point of making Google point to Bing instead, I fully well know what you can do with it,
Gave +1 Rep to @wind tree (current: #64 - 175)
it was example to show what you could do, highlighting what dns does and how name resolution works, rather than something advised to be done
no worries mate, good to see you
What is this rep thingy
advice on?
flexing 
pointless just like THM streak basically
Pointless internet points.
Beginner friendly teams will only guide you to THM, which is... a beginner friendly platform.
That's not true.
Thank you @twin ridge
that is not true?
How likely are you to join a team where someone will take you under their wing?
Hmm.... Bots won't have reps..... Seems like
there are many that exist
What is the minimum requirement of the windows version to become a decent ethical hscker
Cyber Security is quite a learning-focused industry
Not linux
Just because you haven't found any, doesn't mean they don't exist...
Just win
I avoid tryhackme
Joins a tryhackme community site for support
Windows xp 😂
learn active directory and powershell

You can't rep the bot, there used to be a bug where if nobody repped in the server for 5 mins you could rep the bot.
Jk
And just for that reason I'm managing expectations, if I look hard enough I can find someone to teach me how to shoot lightning bolts out of my fingertips
there isnt one 
No you can't, that's not possib;e.
Just because you haven't found any doesn't mean they don't exist...
Bamn bro yall legit spittign out lines from million dolla movies
The Boondocks - Season 1, Episode 5
Yall im gonna learn http in detail. Is it hard?
on a serious note though I would suggest Windows 10 as an absolute minimum due to WSL and Virtualisation support
Room/walkthrough
What makes you think you'll end up a script kiddie if you start studying the basic concepts of cybersecurity?
Not suiii?
If by spoonfeeding you mean studying, then I don't know what I can recommend
I mean, at the begining you need to be spoonfed a bit - also, you can just do thm challs
that is what practical studying is for 🤔
Cannot be the windows version suiii?
I want to become a surgeon, I gotta read a few words of advice first
Your goal isn't to learn practically to avoid being spoonfed, your goal is to get into the industry without studying because you're bored of reading, won't get you very far
Science would have reported that, stop being a moron.
Dont say you typed that in a half a second
Well I did end up typing it
The holy text said it happened, I won't argue with it
What about if I use a Tesla coil
Arc electricity through myself
Then that won't be from your finger tips, but instead the tesla coil.
science is an ever-growing field that only explains based on our current understanding of the world. it's not a one-and-done, but rather a state of constant flux
Scrubz got me there
Did you camouflaged your pfp with the background?
I'm not here to talk about science, we're all a bunch of computer nerds
Yes.
how about computer science
Aren't Scientists, infact nerds?
yeah but they use matlab
The difference between them and us is that they get women
Well, maybe you don't get women... 🤷♂️
for ... research purposes?
Scrubz leave some for the rest of us will ya 💔
Cutting up people without reading is also the line between a surgeon and a serial killer
sup guys
Who would win in a fight, 100 scientists vs a gorilla or 100 cs majors vs a gorilla or 100 hackers vs a gorilla?
If they had time to prepare something they could do it
are we talking white hat or black hat hackers?
Yeah but without reading them you won't know what to cut
The surgeon knows how not to kill his patient. You wouldn't
Both together
50 this 50 that
Same as you going for a CTF not knowing how to go through recon (which THM does teach you as a concept)
if they are black hat hackers then no one will know them that they won or not
Then start with overthewire
