you think you can scare me ?
Yes
Just search internship application in gif
See the amount of ads
is tryhackme authenticiation failing for anyone else?
Im unable to login into tryhackme, it keeps failing to load 2fa page
my account got hacked
lol. I use paypal. I made an account several years ago when they gave you money to sign up and it's just convenient to keep using it
who can help me do somthing
The geoserver room is so good
It depends
pls ππ
you can call?? here on dc??
Wdym?
i mean so i can explain you
All the credit cards i have were acquired for the free money they sometimes give you to sign up too
we cant help related to that , contact support of whatever acc got hacked
Ok I will help you but it depends on what kind of help
ok where we can speak bro??
here??
Yeah ofc
alr
@sterile grail
O-ohh

oh, so im actually fried then
Hellooo u were gonna give some crtp resoources π«Ά
Sorry bro I am currently in Blue team π
uhhhh got busy wait
Hello people. What do you think of panasonic lets note cf sv1? 16gb ram and 256 or 512gb ssd? My laptop recently went bad. Used it for 6 years, 8gb ram was enough for me as i used linux. I could get this laptop for 250 euros. Is it a smart purchase? It just seems better than the thinkpad t480 given the raw specs.
link it
bro that account had credit cards, banks, contacts, subscriptions, things that dont even exist more, @sterile grail
Yea whenever free no rush
250 euro is not alot for al laptop
dm
Yea, I didn't get a job because of my age lol, but just completed the SAL1 prep, and my dad is going to buy the SAL1!
The dude is looking for help because he got "hacked"
Its refurbished but its ig the japanese thinkpad
What account is it
We dont do that here
oh thats nice
hai
you are trolling, right
google, xd
wha the heck is that
Its a japanese laptop!
Why would you want that
Cus mine went bad. It has a hot swappable battery, replaceable keyboard, i5 11th gen 16gb ram. Its light its small its durable.
I am just curious, I don't even know how to get someone out of hacking π
Use google recovery and/or move on
And for 250 euros i think its a good choice
Just curious hehe
He probably wants us to hack the account and give it back if it was even his to begin with
Why did you not use MFA or auth?
Probably
he will be gone soon enough
the hacker deleted it
i tried everything
@narrow yew is right, this DC is not for getting someone out of hackers and all that shi
but who hacked me is a really god hacker
You see, that is not possible without your interaction
ye

Sorry wrong DC mate
The hacker was ur mom that knows ur phone password
Hello guys
do you know the right dc, ??π
no idea lol
If you have MFA, explain to me how you got hacked
Bro, call the cyber police or something like that
i keep reading dc as data center
Why are you in discord for cyber help bro? ππ
2000 thousand β¬
It has a different meaning?
So it was not an information stealer from roblox or minecraft and you just approved the popup from authenticator
Since you had MFA
i think they are saying discord
idk
Your story does not add up.
mine?
what happened?
it is not hard to scroll up
yeah but I am lazy
Yea, but if someone really says yea in discord, who knows! the guy might hack the hacked system lol. Trust me brother don't take that risk in discord
He probably got an info stealer from pick-and-chose game
rookie mistake
so now -all- logins are gone
hmm
token hijack prolly
He had no MFA, no backup email on gmail
WHAAAAAA
You had your house gate open and now you are sad that you got robbed? π
It is just BS
i wish more sites had mfa
Try and set up a gmail with no phone numbrer
Yea, not targeting anyone, I would rather keep it personal
you know worm gpt??
when i set mine up they didn't require that
only the old emails had no phone number
you cant go back to dinosaur time
lol
This is kiddo
There are recovery email, phone requirements, questions. It is not that hard to get your account back
he can even use purchase history via his gogole account
ajam
then why i cant get it back??
doing all that
Because you messed up
You messed up
What did google support return on your ticket?
Yes, it is like cyber ChatGPT, but the project got closed, and the website is uncensored ai model, but it helps hackers to hack ig
what proof did they ask for that you cloud not provide
yah
Since they ask for some time to investigate
I am not sure if it will recover your account lol
I do rather not use it
So you are into cybersecurity...
Have you tried changing the password and all that
Yk like basic cyber precautions
Its quite strange honestly... He should be able to get his account back.
And even when he set it all up again, it is still lost due to info stealer
yeah
you think he installed AV? antimalware? no
Yeah lol
Yeah I don't think he has an Autonomous Vehicle
you would be supriced
I am getting that on my wall. Thank you
Gave +1 Rep to @dark wolf (current: #42 - 257)
im so so cooked
The infostealer is still on your system?
Dude said it was a hacker that bypassed his MFA (Doubt he had one) and even stole money
and some other hitngs happend above, cant remember it all π
Should have created a better backstory with gpt
If that threat actor stole his money then he should be reporting this to the cops not us
@mossy cipher wait did you recover your account!
That's literally what I said lol
i doubt there is one. he probably just wants us to steal someone's gmail account for him
We are literally just a bunch of chill guys who do dumb things for fun
idk
nuke your system just for safe measures. get your important files as backup
a hacker told me to use malwarebytes
i would just format and reinstall your os
and he sent it to you also?
exactly.
might seem extreme but i wouldn't trust a system that was compromised
you re-image asap
As a person who is working in this field, let me advice you something... nuke your system with important files as backup. reinstall your OS and be careful next time.
you think?
I think?
I know lmao
I have seen 100s like you π
Its okay... people make mistakes
But you should learn from those mistakes
@peak lagoon look dm bro
i used to try and clean computers that were infected and honestly its probably easier to reinstall anyway
if the story actually has any merit to begin with
Can we talk something else plz
i need motivation to finish the burp rooms. Its a good tool and i should be interested but i am just not interested in that right now.
hello pretties, ok I have to get verified yo throw hearts on gifs <3
i wish the professional wasn't so expensive
so far everything i have done with it can be done with curl
which makes me less interested in reading it
Hello
i was just trying to change the subject
lol
Seems legit. Definitely nothing strange about this
I don't know if it's worth using if you can't get the professional and save projects but if i finish the rooms i could be proven wrong
curl doesn't take 3 minutes to load
it does seem convenient if you can save a site map and stuff though
When you're too lazy to get up and on your desktop, so you start kbrf from your phone, remote in from your phone throuvh tailscals and update the system while VNCed in
lol
He also sent me a friend request what is he saying
that's like me spending more time scripting something i can do faster manually cause manual is too boring
Me too
Also sent to you
I dunno I haven't accepted it π
Wide boi is wide
yeah well idk why he'd send it to you, you just gonna be muted again
I accepted what will happen I just want to see him what is he saying
Let me know
Okay
I reckon crypto scam
?
You know that I am not even in crypto
Can I block him
You do what you want π
Sup wideee
What's up yankee doodle do?
awwww man
he didn't send one to me 
hello donut long time no see ?
NVMe?
that person's discord got hacked. Token hijack.
SATA. SAMSUNG 870 EVO
how many GBs
Ssd now means Slow State Delivery
Thatβs pretty nice too π₯Ή
- I already have a 1TB M.2 NVME
ah, noice
The 870 EVO was a PAIN to find dude
Lots of sellers but all cancelled, out of stock.
The AI gods took SSDs from us too
Apparently SAMSUNG is stopping all SATA SSD productions. Switching fully to NVMEs
thats.............
dumb
Fr? I have many more SATA ports than M.2 slots
Latest and apparently best
hmm
Dude I SWEAR
Motherboards are NOT ready for this change!
Pretty sure Samsung said this was false.
Oh, let me verify. 
oh yeah
Did tryhackme just silently release SEC1 Certification (not SAL1 or PEN1) or have I just overlooked until now??
Where?
uhhhhh
In the website
haven't heard of that
Link
Or verify and send a SS I'm curious now 
Thm only has sal1 and pt1
Website isn't updated, check credibly too
Sneaky bastards
If not, they need to update their website. Kek
I think its a leak lolllllll
if they released a new one, they would have announced it
I can still access some stuff I shouldn't.
huh
?
just interesting to know lol
@sick lance Were you guys given prior access to certs before they dropped?
Cause why am I not aware of this cert 
Yes. π
probably cuz it wasn't supposed to be released yet
Skidy pretty much thrown everything at me I wanted.
@jagged yarrow is good like that.
So I ain't the only one that learned about the new cert through THMs website 
And this is your FIRST message? 
Undercover employee?
I think you're right, it's a leak or a bug

I don't check THM that much now
LMAO
Someone about to get fired. 
I mean, they showed it a couple of days ago one one of the pages under /business (heh)
Oh? I had 0 clue lol
Ngl I'm a fan of that gif on the site
it says coming soooooooooooon
Ok now HOW did you find it there? 
This account is way too sus

Time for an investigation 

Unverfied, 1st message ever. SOMEONE ISNT HAPPY WITH THM!
even this is changing to a green color

HEY
wut
Check spotify in profile
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Time to copyright your name ig 
Where does it say it's 50 off? Am I blind?
lmaoo fr tho, I recently joined THM and was looking at the PEN1. Just logged on and had a banner on my screen saying SEC1 50% had to make sure i wasnt imagining things
SEND PROOF!
Is there a channel I can send pic
The banner!
/verify
Yep you need to verify.
+1 cert into my THM collection
Okay I think Im verified
Yes
Damn, 73 bucks is a steal TBH
Donut wassup
Def a bug tho because that banner dissappeared after I clicked "Buy" and the price was boosted to 127. Def working out some bugs imo
Id buy it but I dont have the cash, I already spent 100$ on ejpt
Just ask a thm staff to sponsor you, it looks great for them if a kid has their certifications
Especially if its one of their ambassadors
I know multiple thm staff lol
It's not as easy as that.
yeah
where's this on the site?
I dunno Donut aint some random kid, he is a very skilled one in cybersecurity and an ambassador of THM
#1: uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no lollllll
#2: ig
So they could consider it
That's not my point.
Possible age restrictions etc.
the learn more page for SEC1 doesnt load for me. Is it available to all users?
Nah bruh age restrictions are only for jobs
I also know who Donut is, don't let my white name fool you.
nah

Nah...
Oscp is > 18.
Sheesh
149$ for meπ₯
I mean, technically THM is 13+, so he should be able to get it
Unless there is a special circumstance.
Real world CTF

Thm is actually any age.
$102 for me
Not > 13.
Their tos don't state an age restriction.
And just because part X isn't age restricted, doesn't mean part Y won't be.
I'll check ToS to verify it but iirc - de jure all the contracts (including terms or service) that are signed before 13 yo are deemed non-binding (at least in EU). Hence it's the age mentioned by many social media platforms
I reckon once they have the site fixed they'll have an announcement with a special launch price
Tos isn't a contract?
Techically is
It's terms, of a service you agree to.
Did you sign anything when you created a thm account?
No.
You didn't.
I cant see the certification
Yeah, but in law (from what I recall) - You can't "agree" to anything unless you're 13
Can someone share a link?
You can't sign a contact in the UK until you're older than 13.
You click "I accept terms of service" - Maybe my vocab is a bit incorrect in this matter
There have been cases involving people who clicked agree, who couldn't have been confirmed as agreeing, because they didn't sign something, they just clicked a button. That's what your lawyer/solicitor is for
Did you give your lawyer the ToS of THM?
Which version 
That's in the US, and there are limitations. In most circumstances, under18's need written consent from their parents to be legally bound to a contract
I mean, yeah.
Yeah, in Poland as well - technically you can't go to the shop and get yourself a lolipop unless you're 13 
If you can't find it, well I'm sorry to tell you, but it's a you problem
I mean, the link was already shared.
Was it deleted?
You don't need to. Terms are disputable in court, because the court determines how the law is implemented. I'm not a lawyer/solicitor, btw π
I'm aware of that. π
107 euros hell nah
When I was a kid back in the late 1900s, I used to go to the shop to buy cigarettes for my grandmother. When you're 6 years old, they don't think you're buying them for yourself
1900's?
"late 1900's"
bro's 120 years old
Damm, I should've tried it out - Too late now ig (They almost always ID me)
Sheesh 1900s, how was it to meet dinosaurs?
Man, people can't read.
I passed the law part of my cybersec postgrad, mostly stuff on GDPR and cyberrsecurity/computer security law
I think they're just messing around lol
So you did GRC
Oh, it's a general consensus on the current chat and server. π
Yeah back then you only needed to be 16 to buy cigarettes anyway and nobody asked for id cos they kinda knew you anyway
hi, i have an issue with a certificate after finishing a path i forgot to set my name in the settings so its Written XXXX intstead of my name is it possible to generate a new one ?
Ehh, for me it was here always 18 - And since 3 years ago y'all can't even buy a can of monster without an ID
0/10 imho
Yeah, change your name or ask support.
I think there may be a process for it on the chat bubble.
Yes down but its still written XXX in my certificate
where's my 50% off discount 
I WAS RAGING IN MY WHOLE CUZ I WASN'T ABLE TO FIND MY USB DONGLE FOR MOUSE AND KEYBOARD BLUD WAS LITERALLY SLEEPING ON MY PILLOW
Alright Thank u

It was a lot of fun. The original Jurassic Park was shot on location in the real Jurassic Park. That version of UNIX that Lex was using is called SGI IRIX, and it used the experimental interface called fsn (fusion), that was copied for Linux as fsv π
^
Yeah?
I think you'll have to talk to support. I don't think you can change it after it's been generated
And many more in the channels you don't have access to.
Bits of everything.. My hacking lecturer is one of the academics who trains our cops in cybersecurity/digital forensics, etc.
... thank you
Gave +1 Rep to @limber forum (current: #3584 - 1)
Yeah but there's lots of money in it
is this new cert
We used to be able to get a 10-pack. These days here cigarettes are ultra expensive and laws are quite strict
I like my job. It doesn't pay a lot but i like helping people with their technical problems
π
Yeah, that on one hand sucks but on the other ain't bad
Why killing yourself with ciggerates in first place
i cant see it in my account
Don't let my white name fool you.
I just haven't verified because I'm not staying.
And don't need to embed.
Tbh.
The server has gone downhill.
ah that's sad
I only smoke when I'm out having a beer or a coffee somewhere. I can go without them usually
Fair point
hopefully im not part of that lol
if i get all 3 i need a badge called perfectionist 
Wth! New cert??
Anyway.
Battlefield time..:D
It's not something I'd encourage anyone to start into
Is it worth it tho
Quick questions does anyones know how long it take to get a reply with the support bubble ?
There'll be level 2 and possibly further one day
Same doubt
Exactly lmao
i wanna beat hammond certs records mark my work why why not
The "Cyber Security 101" because I want that on my resume π€£
It can take a while. There's still a bit of a backlog with all the AoC and other competitions going on, but they'll get to you. Contacting them again will put you to the back of the queue, so be patient
$126 for that is not worth it imo
nah
In some ways, yes. In other ways no, but not starting is the better option
I paid $300 for SAL1
Blue and the red one is much better
Mine are free.
Damn
Damn, thank you

I just revisited the certifications page and its gone now lol 100% was a leak
It's good to have goals π
exactly bruudah
@gusty inlet gonna need to start banning the leakers π
i just don't have enough faith that certs are gonna do me any good to spend money on them
they expire fast too
anyone is bug hunter?
Yeah!
Ask your question.
why you gotta remind me about that. i've got a cert expiring in aug this year...
Perks of being an influencer lol
chill chill, im new here π
lmao
il pay em myself if it means i get the most amount a goal is a goal
Heβs the GOAT
i am beginner and i want to start what would you tell me to first learn ?
Network fundamentals
Go through the walkthrough
Everyone has flaws
That's one way to keep you motivated to update your knowledge, and another to bring them cash and increase reputation
kindly provide free source
Can someone explain what ss7 is ?
YouTube
yeah i am motivated to learn just not to spend money
Go to #start-here and follow the instructions
i read a book about sec+ and took the practice test but never got it
Where is this coming from
Ayeee!! My G! How are you
You need to understand the content of the book. Study, take notes, do the practice questions, look up your answers and see what you need to improve
Pretty pissed off
.
i think i could have easily passed it
At who
To think a usb dongle ragebaited me
Sec+ isn't hard
πππ
Bro has beef with a hardware
Sec+ is good to learn the basic knowledge but you need practical knowledge of the tools and techniques you'll use as well
Sec+ is mainly good for DOD 8140 roles, outside of that it's just a fundamental cert.
Hasn't landed me any jobs π€£
Well it controls my both keyboard and mouse
i hate how expensive they are
i would still get them if i thought they would help somehow
Yeah it's just fundamental knowledge, but still essentials...
Maybe driver misconfiguration?
Ssup blank?
hello
true but i got that from my degree. so it really kinda was a waste of time and money for me. that's my perspective
Sup
Sup

Sup
You should read one of the Tribe of Hackers books. They're interviews with experts in various roles who explain the best way to get into those roles
Sup
Sup.
Nah like it controls my both mouse and keyboard and somehow it was between my both pillows
thanks I might read that
Gave +1 Rep to @proven quartz (current: #17 - 595)
A degree is a valuable thing to have. You should combine it with something more challenging and practical
So you like to sleep with the pendrive? ππ
Okay!!! I read the last word really really wrong. I mean really wrong
i mean i'm almost done studying to take cysa π€·ββοΈ
I think there's one of them in a Humble Bundle collection from Wiley atm...
at least the degree doesn't expire lol
FACTS
Nothing much. Was on call with this one dude who got hacked and saw his discord getting token hijacked. Crazy ngl
too bad my account got locked lol
Wha da
He was asking for help in the server
Who
i wonder if brave blocked something needed for the connection to paypal and they thought i was trying to steal the books or something
Someone named Rift something
there would be much easier ways to steal books if i was gonna do that though lol
They're about 20 bucks on Amazon or Wiley (the publisher)
You guys are paying for books?
I just download them
i buy books so the authors get paid
Jokes on you I don't even touch books
and then they can make more books
Dap me up.
I'm also new. I was looking at getting the Network+ and SEC+. The goal is work as a PenTester eventually.
Curious what you think of this approach:
I was planning to complete the THM JPT path and then take the PT1. I know it's still "new" so it wont really help get job yet with HR but I hear it is a great cert for applying PT skills. Then take the Network+ and SEC+.
Donβt get network+
We don't discuss content piracy here, just FYI
Not worth it?
Yeah.
net+ and sec+ should probably come first
Oh no no. Itβs not piracy. Google books
Facts
I've gotten hundreds of them through Humble Bundle. They're quite comfortable on my tablet
So much for subtlety.
A big name I see
Would it be fairto say if a person can pass the PT1 they should have an easy enough time with the Net+ and SEC+? Having more fun with THM atm
I have no idea I haven't taken PT1. I just passed eJPT recently.
Congrats
But if you know the fundamentals, Net+ and Sec+ should be a cake walk.
Void reality

I small name I see
Hoe much did eJPT take you to study
Mario
A normal name I see
oh got cha, how was the eJPT? I hear PT1 is comparable in difficulty
3 months with only really like 1 month of studying (watching the courses). i didn't have much time the other 2 months
i liek reading them on my phone as long as there arent' big diagrams or tables
Glory boi
A casual name I see
Sorry for not having the name PLANK69420
Zoro
A good name I see
does net+ nd sec+ exams dont have practicals?
Blank1414
A normal name I see
i hear pt1 is much harder. on the jr pentest path it immediately teaches things like IDOR which eJPT doesn't do
Wwwy
(What's wrong with you?)
I don't think they are practical. Multichoice i think
that's also why net+ and sec+ first. at best, it takes you a day of studying for each (only took me 1 night to study for sec+) and at worst it better prepares you with fundamentals for pt1
yep. it way harder than eJPT. especially in some parts
PT1 is all practical. Itβs a good exam to take but then usually the HRs of the company donβt know jackshit about this cert so they think itβs just a random one
Guys! I've done my first ctf! I got the time of 83 hours,
Is it a good feat chat?!
Ofc not all. My cybersecurity firm knew about it
How is eJPT @timid orbit
i saw someone compared it to cpts but cpts is still better so i'm kinda back and forth. gonna use it as a preparatory cert since i already paid for it lmfao
they only care about OSCP, when there are better alts
What is eJpt?
Junior pentester
I c
i already passed it back in December. It was good foundational wise, but like 80% of the content was just repeating itself. 156 hours really like 50 hours.
same , i would go for CPTS or PNPT
i think CPTS right now has more HR recognition and a lot of people say it's really good
Yes
They know CEH, OSCP and Sec+ lmao
CySA+ too
its getting better over time. its a great cert to have
If you want. Cisco and Google also have fundamental certs for cheap/free
What are these words bro. Like I see 100 of these everyday. And y'all can remember these
Itβs just popular certs nothing else
Itβs not industrial level
Cysa more for defensive tho right? like if you want to get into SOC?
Yes
It's what I'm studying for now
Did you use their training sources?
Yes. First parts are slow and boring but it got a lot better.
What if I dont use their training sources?
LOL true
If you are planning for defense then you can take SAL1. Itβs better than that CySA+
Idk. Test was pretty difficult for me icl and I did their training and also took a pen testing class in college
Would you recommend to learn and take for the knoweldge as an aspiring PT
if you have some CTF skill. its really easy.
Guys I don't even have a cyber job yet π
Thatβs 70% of the people
I appreciate the honestly haha my bad
CySA+ is just theory. Itβs stupid
I was thinking about trying to move to the security team at my company but they never have positions open
yeah like 60% of this study guide was covered in SAL1 practically
and they are understaffed it seems so it might be stressful
that's kind of how i felt
its nto very deep
CySA+ is a multiple choice question test. SAL1 is an MCQ test and a test of your practical ability
SAL1 is amazing. I will take it if I get discount. I was looking forward for the ticket event but then my luck is worse than a sheep whoβs looking at a lion.
Talk to them about your interest and passion for security, even when there is no opening. They might consider you before opening the next position. If the opportunity does not arise, create it yourself.
Get talking with them, get to know if there's cybersecurity meetups in your location. See if there's an annual BSides conference
thanks that makes sense. I'm not sure if i am completely ready yet though
Gave +1 Rep to @umbral bay (current: #15 - 642)
I've been hearing from others that CySA has some hands on and my server+ (which I failed) had some hands-on aspects
thanks. I live in a rural area but maybe the university has something
Gave +1 Rep to @proven quartz (current: #17 - 596)
the good thing about my company is they embrace remote work
i actually live more than 50 miles from teh office
Info/cyber is typically very very boring. Ask the team lead if they have an opportunity to shadow, and be sure to clear it with your manager before asking
Well they might have some by now, but it's not going to be a huge aspect of it. I'd still suggest a more practical cert if you want to get hired. Knowing the tools makes it easier to train you up
I would be hopeful to agree, but I haven't even gotten interviewed for any cyber jobs
im no stranger to reading logs
chat looks interesting asf
but shadowing would be good if they let me
The University might have other training resources, travel to conferences, etc... Definitely ask the lecturers
No, but I failed because I forgot the abbreviations for metrics and documents like MTTR, DTP, etc.
Auditd is it's own strange beast
anyone know how to create a mod tool ?
that's a very generic and loaded question
its been a long time since i used that but we can configure it for customers who have questions it would answer
Certs don't land jobs. They don't even get the interview. Certs are a business thing, not really personal development. Better off investing that time and money into a homelab.
that;s what i was wondering
You should go into sales
what is the general usecase for homelab actually
Hii
I will still stand by the fact that eJPT and SAL1 taught me more than school did, and more than I ever could have learned on my own.
hi?
Then also Sec+ is a common HR filter.
its actually easy to learn more faster than school if you want to imo
this is based on my experience getting a CS degree
I got a cybersec B.S. and I agree
so it might not apply to other things
Depends on the team. Most team reasonable teams are looking for knowledge, not a cert gate.
HI chat
Hello
They don't want paper tigers.
That may be, but I'm not giving someone an interview based on what certs they have.
So what you're saying is you just can't win. This is why entry level here is so bad.
what can you put on a resume that would get you an interview
you can't really demonstrate what you knwo before they agree to talk to you
Demonstration of learning. It also gives you lots to talk about with the challenges you faced and what you did about it with respect to implementing different tools.
Hi
can you put that on a resume
Ah so basically kind of real time training NICE
i would be afraid it would make me look like i don't have enough to put on a resume
H8
I don't really have room for a lot of hardware
You dont need to know that
What do you think ethical hackers means according to you
I'd expect everyone looking for a job in cyber to have a home lab of some sort, whether it's spare computers, a bunch of RPis, networking kit, VMs, some kinda cloud environment, or a mix. It's important that people are able to communicate their abilities, whatever resources they use; but of course, certs by themselves aren't going to cut it; and for some employers they do list some certifications as preferred qualifications, but everything is negotiable
Hackers who arent ethical
that makes sense i was picturing firewalls and swiches and servers and stuff
barrier to entry just gets more and more expensive...
That's not what I said at all. Every level is tough right now, and demonstrating knowledge and ability is more crucial than certs. Certs are very often a client/customer requirement( SOC2/ISO27k1/etc), and can put significant strain on someone to afford out of their own pocket.
If there's an entry level cert that is in your budget, spend the bare minimum. But chasing certs to get a job puts someone in a worse situation to no gain.
you used to be able to get a lot of that stuff from university sales
but it takes up space
I meant i have never heard of that word till now so was veryfying what you meant by dat
Whats ss7 can some master hacker race explain it
Welp i will just look it up on the internet and explain it
And in reality, a BS in compsci or another IT domain supercedes the need for entry level certs.
I already did but you same abbreviation different meaning type shi
Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) is a set of international telecommunication protocols, developed in the 1970s and standardized by the ITU-T, used to establish, route, and manage calls, SMS, and roaming across global 2G/3G/4G/5G networks. It acts as the "backbone" for telecommunication, handling call setup and information exchange.
I think general must have good idea on this type shi
problem is getting the experience
It can, but you can start at a lower level role and build your skills and experience. I know a lot of people with years of experience, few or no certs, some with just a degree. A friend of mine taught himself Linux by learning Gentoo on his own and ended up moving to Sweden and working for their government supercomputer organisation. It's your determination and skill building that matter
General
Experience and previous jobs usually puts someone "higher" than entry level in the first interview.
gentoo is how i got my job too i think
even just a part-time job doing something in IT helps.
I should clarify I'm also in the U.S. and 90% of entry level jobs list CISSP as a non-negotiable requirement with 3-5 years experience here.
or not
Back from crying
Yeah but if someone can do everything it takes to implement Gentoo, they can do pretty much anything
who broke ya heart
No rewards
You learned a lot about system level troubleshooting and problem solving by learning Gentoo.
What your degree teaches you is how to learn in the domain. That's way more valuable than any cert.
it took me like 2 days to install it
lol
Yeah but the CISSP is just basically the Sec+ with extra steps and then getting someone else with CISSP to say you're able to do the work
Lmao no worries tho⦠next time my luck will be better
i had never used linux before
You are missing out!
That's good going
part of teh reason was waiting for it to compile though
Well THM mailed me thrice saying I didnt win
IKR! they had to make sure that we knew
i actually had no idea it was going to be more complicated than any other distro
i thought they were all like that lol
i picked it basically at random lol
What role are you working towards
Well seeing how people were actinhg in aoc chat it was personal i guess to them
Trying for Cybersec Analyst rn. Want to strive for SecEng.
Yeah Arch came out a little before Gentoo many years ago. I've spent time on each one. I also had a Playstation 2 Linux kit. That was fun
i was thinking about using arch again
THM: you didnβt win
Me: gotcha
THM: bruddaβ¦ you didnβt win!
Me: yes yes thank uβ¦
THM: YOU DIDNT WIN!
Me: I KNOWWW! SHUT UP!!!
They also removed the 15% discound for premium users for some reason
Very cool, did you take the SAL1? I heard its good for defense. And also for skill building BTL1 (I think this is similar to PT1, not well known by HR but great practial)
Money lol
heyo
hello
Yo
i might get htb when my premium subscriptin runs out but then i would have to start over and its a lot more expensive unless you win cubes i guess
i am mainly interested in the academy though
I don't think you'd need to take BTL1 after SAL1. Maybe PSAA or CDSA? That's something I'm considering.

guys attackbox is so lagy right?
it is a little for me
Noted
You generally should use your own VM with ssh connectiomn
In 1 year, you will get the knowledge required to attempt rooms without guides
i accidentally clicked on postman when i had burp and firefox opened and i had to terminate it
Yeah, I can understand that - essentially an identical cert and diminishing returns for the money/reward
I hope so
yeah ik but it was smooth but rn i can't even type 1 letter
depends on kind of task maybe you opened burp
nope just terminal
weird shizz
Wait people actually do that?
yeah so weird that's why i asked i thought it's a problem with servers or something like that
yep
I was pretty pissed of after my box used to lag even for moving a mouse
I just open their attack box. Much easier
the attackbox seems to save a tiny bit of screen space when im on my laptop
and its convenient
if you want to see everything at the same time
Sadly i am a single screen user
I think itβs due to your laptop too
its ryzen 7840 and 4060 8 gb
Its not GTA 6
Jeez thatβs good.
Guys, I'm so shaken!!!! My computer just exploded like a friggin bomb!!!!!!!!!!!
Rip PC
WTF were you even doing
what happened
Amen.
I was just working with files and changing some extensions, and I get the usual "Warning file may become unstable after changing the extension" And i ignored it like usual
but this time it really was unstable
π
one time i tried to use an old cdrom in a new optical drive and that exploded loutdly
πππ
This will go on my wall as well
was it that 1 pb zip bomb people talk about
lol
Can i also go on your wall π₯Ί
Did the caps actaully explode or just blue screen
IDK. it sounded funnier to say the whole computer exploded ... like unstable materials that you play with in the lab
of course nothing happened, i just like to mock that warning
it is funny
I'll change the extension when I feel like it
now the file is unusable lol
WHY DID I FEEL YOUR COMPUTER ACTUALLY GAVE UP π
Hi
nah, the security guy emailed me a certificate a .crt and aded .txt to the end because he emailed it to me lol
This guy changes extensions
Huawei when you say something funny about china
Me when i say something wierd about china and now my phone is exploding with notifications on X all by wumao army (i stuffed my phone in my ahh with vibration on)
Does your resume have translatable skills towards the job description? In other words: can the person AI filtering out your resume before it lands on human eyes detect correlation? @timid orbit
Tryhackme
Smooth. Maybe.
Ragebaiting final boss
Yes. I've followed a lot of advice from ppl in cybersec alr, headlessheadhunter who is a recruiter on YT, and then Toast here just helped me fix it up again. I've done a lot of cutting and adding, but it doesn't matter. Checked email, just got another rejection π
I like how the two type of convo is in same page A guy bullshiting and on another side Discord admion asking serious questions
Cybersecurity is a difficult field to land in if you arenβt in the industry currently.
Your resume should be adjusted for every application. You need to match it as closely as you can, with those specific keywords with the job description
Lmao
Resume should be tailored for each job.
99 out of 100 times that only means there is a better candidate. It shouldn't discourage you. π
I fit the 90% category for each one, actually the one from Lockheed I applied and got denied just reopened with another cert requirement (cysa which i'm pursuing rn...)
except for IT >work< experience in some cases
I hate j*bs βΉοΈ
same
also fr
I dont wanna do job
hey quick question, so i ddi the whole connect thing for tryhackme network, id assume i would get a custom vm but i didnt. and as im flying throught my task im stuck cuz i only get 1 hour a day for the attackbox, what should i do?
in many distros like ubuntu you can do things like ll and la in place
You have to use your own vm
Set yourself up a virtual machine with kali linux and connect via a VPN to THMs network from there
Sometimes it can be hard to have all the required experience. You should start a blog about the tech you use, maybe do writeups, add CTFs, bug bounties, etc... It's hard to differentiate yourself these days. Everything from tech skills to AI to course modules can count. You should add your completed rooms and certificates to your LinkedIn, etc.

It's less crazy in there like a library that demands quiet.
