[ruby tundra]

The autism purrs with coding and ethical hacking lmao i love this

[arctic spruce]

lol once i finish with thm then going on htb for retention

[lapis iris]

do what you love, love what you do

[floral ice]

say bye bye to your wallet fly high

im just waiting till my thm is done

[arctic spruce]

not unless get a job that pays well

is it possible to complete all the room in a year? haha

[floral ice]

Go work at mcdonalds you will be rich in no time

[floral ice]

for htb?

[arctic spruce]

thm

[ruby tundra]

lol Ive only gotten 210 in the span of 6 months so idk maybe?

[floral ice]

If you no life it LOL

[mental spoke]

Note organization makes me so happy

[floral ice]

[arctic spruce]

nah i don't want to be depressed

[ruby tundra]

what is that??

[arctic spruce]

HAI STIZZY AND IS THAT OBSIDIAN?

[floral ice]

obsidian

[mental spoke]

Obsidian

[mental spoke]

it is!

[ruby tundra]

I need that!!

[mental spoke]

I Normally have my theme on but i accidentally turned it off

[mental spoke]

https://obsidian.md/

[ruby tundra]

got it 🙂

[mental spoke]

if you know how to use markdown formatting at all you will have a blast with this

[arctic spruce]

at this point you are a promoter for obsidian @mental spoke haha

[mental spoke]

it feels like it LMAO

they need to pay me

[ruby tundra]

Imma have so much fun!!

[floral ice]

mine is notttt organized even a bit

[arctic spruce]

wait is it unlimited or limited data for obsidian?

[mental spoke]

you can also do fun things like this

[ruby tundra]

mine is 3 massive 4'' binders

[mental spoke]

obsidian is unlimited as its locally stored

obsidian sync costs money

[ruby tundra]

like Purref but for notes!!!

[arctic spruce]

Old school anyone?

[mental spoke]

its a blessing to have. i like making my notes fun at times and pretty so using them isnt a pain and obsidian allows me to search through ALL of my notes at once

[floral ice]

I do both lol

[mental spoke]

i still do both

[arctic spruce]

rip i have a laptop and a desktop don't wanna pay now haha

wait i can just use it on laptop...

omg brain blast

[mental spoke]

since its all stored locally just upload the folder to google drive and move it to your laptop or back to the desktop

[carmine pelican]

😱

[ruby tundra]

Hello Husband

[mental spoke]

Just use this community plugin to bypass the whole sync issue

[carmine pelican]

Heyo wifey 😛

[mental spoke]

or setup git yourself in the folder either way

[dark wolf]

highly unstable plugin

that's a good line for when you get pulled over by a cop...

first thing you say to cop is "i'm highly unstable"

[mental spoke]

whips out wallet really fast to show my id

quick draws wallet

[arctic spruce]

then they will do a sobriety test...ask you to say abc backwards...would you write a code to them?

[dark wolf]

instead of saying the abc backward iterate the address of the officers mom leter by letter

[boreal oar]

Could use syncthing as well

[mental spoke]

Also would reccomend the Kanban planning board plugin! i use it for programming roadmaps often

[arctic spruce]

kanban is highly used in cs world

[carmine pelican]

ahhh yes im sure he wont get belligerent at all .

[dark wolf]

nope, probably will let you go

and give you money and an apology

[ruby tundra]

Death has that ever worked for you?

[arctic spruce]

very random question...but is anyone here good with msfvenom?

[carmine pelican]

I dont get pulled over here you know that X_X

[dark wolf]

Me netiher, they try but never succeed

[mental spoke]

Organization is key

[ruby tundra]

He get pulled over but they let him go, pretty much as soon as they see his ID

[mental spoke]

Last one since chat is dead but if you work in a team peerdraft can help you a lot

[faint vigil]

Active duty I'm guessing or veteran

or LE

[carmine pelican]

idk how ranks work but mines low its just seeker

[ruby tundra]

Death!

Can I browse on LinkedIn or play Valheim while I'm connected on the THM VPN doing a lab? This flare-vm is taking forever to open.

stuck on analyzing program. anyone know how long it takes to open?

[sand trench]

yes as the tryhackme vpn is not a forward every package to tryhackme vpn

it is more like a business vpn

it lets you access devices on the tryhackme IP:s

and everything else goes to normal internet

[arctic epoch]

Ah ok. Cool. Thanks 👍🏼

[rapid merlin]

oiooi

[arctic epoch]

I just realized some of these answers can be found in the write up lol. 🤦🏼

[half relic]

it's just based on the points you get when you finish rooms

[river ore]

hey there @half relic

[half relic]

hi 🙂

how

s it going

i think i hit enter by accident several times a day lol

' key should be bigger lol

[river ore]

just got done with some modules on my path

[half relic]

cool

looks like you ranked up too

[river ore]

how are you today

[half relic]

I'm good

i am done with work for the week

[river ore]

yea im half way to next rank lol

[half relic]

I'm almost to the next one but a took a little break

didn't want to get bored

went out to the bar instead and listened to some music

[river ore]

yea i do other things so off focus

[half relic]

i'll have time to do more this week though i think

[river ore]

what do you like to drink?

[half relic]

at the bar?

[river ore]

yea

[half relic]

I drank some whisky and cokes.

i mostly quit drinking though but i haven't drunk anything since august so i thought it would be okay

[river ore]

yea i feel that...i used to drink often but not so much now

[half relic]

they make them super strong at that bar. it;s kind of dive bar

cheap strong drinks and loud music

but it's tiny

[river ore]

ohh one of those where you drink 1 and it turns into 5 lol

[half relic]

and the students drink to much and spill their drinks all over lol

[turbid plank]

Seriously, for the Valentines CTF, is there any teams looking for members?

[arctic epoch]

Capa basics lab giving me a headache. I need a drink.

🤕

[river ore]

not that i am aware of

[half relic]

you don't really need 5 doubles

[river ore]

haha facts

[half relic]

I thought the valentines capture the flag even was over

[river ore]

i dont know i didnt check today

i did like 2 of them and was done lol

[half relic]

i was still taking a break

i'll probably resume tomorrow

when my kids are in school

see if i can finish jr pentester

i have 6 rooms left

i usually don't do that many in a day but it's been a while

so i should be refreshed

[river ore]

hows the jr pen path way going for you

[half relic]

it's pretty good. I have a lot of it background so i wonder if i should have skipped straight to htb

i think it covers the same information but faster which is would actually prefer

[river ore]

i think its still good to take it as a refresher

[half relic]

as long as nothing is missing

it definately has stuff i didn't know

though and i am learning things

and thm is about 1/4 of the price lol

[river ore]

my daughter is wanting to start learning cyber security

[half relic]

im not s student so i can't get the discount

cool

my kids don't seem to have any intrest at all

[river ore]

lol well mine is 25

[half relic]

yeah mine are way younger

you never know what they willl be interested in but i don't feel like they are going in that direction

which is fine they don't have to be like me

they can do whatever they want

[river ore]

thats what i say

as long as their heart is in it

[arctic epoch]

same. Cyber security 101 has a lot of stuff I didn't know.

[half relic]

yeah that's the thing

yeah i was a total noob basically i read owasp and how to prevent things like sql injection but only had a vague idea of how to do it

[river ore]

the cyber sec 101 is a great starting way

[half relic]

now i know more about it

it's still pretty basic and i think a waf would just block me if i tried it on a regular server though

[river ore]

i do recommned doing the pre secuity path

[half relic]

which i can't obviously

[arctic epoch]

I did the pre security, and I'm on cyber security 101.

I have 5 yrs of experience in the compliance realm and still learned some new concepts

[half relic]

cool

[river ore]

nice

[half relic]

by readin owasp i mean their cheatsheets

to write better code that can't be injected

with prepared statements and stuff

that kind of thing

this is giving me a much clearer idea of what exactly happens if you don't do that thoguh

I renewed my subscription for 80 and i couldn't pass up that price

[river ore]

i have cheat sheets all over my desk i have been creating lol

[half relic]

those will be useful

i usually take notes in a text editor and copy and paste examples from them lol

[river ore]

same lol

[half relic]

might kind of hurt me though cause the more i paste the less i remember

it might be better to type everything

but its functional

[river ore]

yea

[half relic]

are you gonna get certifications when you finish more of the rooms

[river ore]

me?

[half relic]

yeah

[river ore]

yeap

[velvet gull]

if you want a good note taking software, Notion is the best one - free sync across devices, clean notes, easy to organize yourself

[river ore]

is it a trial use or always free ?

[half relic]

aww man i already paid for obsidian

[velvet gull]

its free

[river ore]

win based ?

[velvet gull]

win, linux, android, probably ios too but havent checked that one

[river ore]

nice thanks

[velvet gull]

oh yeah MacOS as well so iOS probably too

[half relic]

is it just text or does it have markdown or something

[lean arch]

obsidian is better imo. I use notion as well

I find keeping things organized is better in obsidian

Notion has great ai though

different tools for different purposes

[velvet gull]

it does have markdown and a lot of ways to make your notes looking pretty good, tho I'm definitely not the best person to show that off
additional plus is that you can always share a link to your notes, anytime, and as the sync is free and instant on all your devices - you can share them from anywhere

[quaint ferry]

obsidian enjoyers attack

[river ore]

ive not heard of obsidian

[velvet gull]

i really need to become their ambassador

[lean arch]

both are good

[quaint ferry]

you should lol

[lean arch]

I just prefer obsidian for pentesting stuff

[velvet gull]

yeah but the free sync aspect of notion does beat obsidian in my opinion

[lean arch]

yeah that's true

[half relic]

the free sync is nice

[river ore]

the AI of notion looks cool

[quaint ferry]

how did you make it looks like that shiro ?

[lean arch]

the ai is really good

[velvet gull]

I just use /page to add pages to the overview one, keeps me organized

[half relic]

i don't know if i would want ai in my note taking application

[river ore]

how come

[velvet gull]

I personally dont use it at all, they dont shove it down your throat

[half relic]

idk what would i need it for

[velvet gull]

AI should end itself

[half relic]

does it read my notes

[river ore]

yea i feel that

[velvet gull]

unless you ask for a rewrite/shortening, the ai does not do shit

[half relic]

not that my notes need to be private . im just tired of free things reading what i put in them

[quaint ferry]

ai enjoyers attack again

[half relic]

lol

[eager marsh]

Does it make you better, no. You’ll spend your life horribly mediocre at this field you’ve chosen.

[river ore]

lol meow comes out of left field with stuff i swear lol

[half relic]

im already mediocre

[lean arch]

all hail mediocrity!

[half relic]

at least im not the worst lol

[quaint ferry]

she made kimi cry oh nyo

[wicked lark]

sup everyone

yall good?

[river ore]

hi master

[half relic]

yeah not bad

[timid orbit]

What makes obsidian so great jw? I simply use mark text and nextra for notes I don’t ever feel like I need anything else

[half relic]

i don't have to work for the next 3 days

[quaint ferry]

hello void congrats on the rank u p

[river ore]

i guess there is a bunch of free note apps lol

[timid orbit]

Thank you good sir

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @quaint ferry (current: #123 - 83)

[half relic]

i just like that it's available for both my linux and windows machines and it syncs

[eager marsh]

It’s almost as easy as your mom. You pick up your notes and can export them anywhere.

[velvet gull]

yeah but notion is still the best

[half relic]

i barely use the markdown except for headings

[wicked lark]

i mean, for study notion is fine

[timid orbit]

My problem with obsidian is the navigation only works in obsidian

[quaint ferry]

i heard joplin is the one on top by heath adams is that true

[lean arch]

Mostly folders... I wish Notion had folders

[river ore]

so i assume note++ is better for code lines and things like that?

[velvet gull]

i have not used joplin but i have successfully converted joplin users to notion before

[lean arch]

Unless I'm missing something

which is possible

[half relic]

i have a ton of old notes in cherry tree and I'm annoyed that there doesn't seem to beb an easy way to copy them all to something else now

[wicked lark]

you can create pages and still do the same job as folders

[lean arch]

Yeah but I still have a long list of private notes that mean nothing

[velvet gull]

I mean... I do have folders... you just gotta make them 😄

[wicked lark]

if you wrote them, that means something

[lean arch]

Maybe I need to organize better

[lean arch]

That's notion?

[timid orbit]

I will admit Nextra is kind of a PITA but it’s nice being able to share it on web and export them no issues which is the only reason I don’t use notion or obsidian

[velvet gull]

just create one page, then use /page inside it and that's how you can add a page within a page to make one a folder

[velvet gull]

yeah it is

[river ore]

so whats the main purpose of notepad++ ?/

[wicked lark]

just like I said

[half relic]

how is it a pita

[wicked lark]

be the best one in the market

[half relic]

i probably should have just used text files and synced them with subversion lol

[velvet gull]

making notes at work that you never save and lose when your IT department pushes you an update that breaks windows and you have to go to the office to get it wiped

[lean arch]

just choose the latest version 😛

[half relic]

and i know subversion is old but im used to it

[quaint ferry]

a dead text editor i learned pascal on when i was a toddlah

[half relic]

i actually love notepad++

[river ore]

ohh ok i seen some ppl using it to mock up pyhon codes

[half relic]

its good for searching things with regular expressions

large numbers of files

[timid orbit]

Notepad++ should just be replaced with Nvim

[half relic]

and you can search the search results

[velvet gull]

meh i prefer vscode

[timid orbit]

Sublime is actually really nice for that

[quaint ferry]

astro just use sublime and you will love life even more vscode works too

[timid orbit]

But not free 🙁

[half relic]

its my replacement for grep on windows

[river ore]

i like learning about progs ppl use

[quaint ferry]

i use cursor

[timid orbit]

There is findstr on Windows which replaces grep btw

[velvet gull]

you can powershell and Select-String lol

[timid orbit]

😶‍🌫️

[half relic]

i knew someone would say something about powershell lol

[timid orbit]

Ew poweshell

[elder marsh]

just use notepad, be glitch and get RCE'd

[river ore]

PS is not bad

[timid orbit]

That’s what a poweshell user would say

[half relic]

it seems to make sense to use a gui on windows in my mind though i guess

idk

[river ore]

im not a Power user lol

[half relic]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[quaint ferry]

did glitch get hacked again porr fellow

[elder marsh]

PS can be nice

[timid orbit]

Don’t fall victim to Big PowerShell guys

[elder marsh]

No

Thankfully

[quaint ferry]

[river ore]

I am to new to promote PS usage lol

[velvet gull]

fortunately he has learned his lesson for now, he did get banned off of arch linux dc tho for being too sussy

[elder marsh]

he's still the same level of creature

faster than wisdom

[velvet gull]

evolving everyday

[quaint ferry]

be careful ramadan in couple days he and ray will be sussy bakas

[half relic]

powershell annoys me

i don't know why everything has to be capitalized

its not a legitmate concern

[elder marsh]

It's Microsoft. Has to annoy you somehow

[half relic]

but it still annoys me

[quaint ferry]

not powershell

[river ore]

facts

[elder marsh]

I honestly don't mind using it every so often

[lean arch]

It AnNoYs Me ToO

[elder marsh]

Id fucking hate to use it consistently

[half relic]

like the way they make you type ip addresses in little boxes

[river ore]

i havent done enough in it

[elder marsh]

Dad made me make him a script in it before & messed with it for certain things like HyperV

Not the most ideal tool

And didn't even work properly for enabling HyperV

DISM had to do it instead

[half relic]

its not case sensitive but if you tab complete most commands are capitalized

[quaint ferry]

i deleted my mouse icon because of a reddit powershell script never touched it again

[elder marsh]

LOL

[quaint ferry]

[elder marsh]

This is why you don't run code you don't understand

[velvet gull]

yeah but that removes the need for you to capitalize them yourself 😄

[quaint ferry]

smartest redditor

[elder marsh]

glitch

[quaint ferry]

is the discord thing still working for you beano ?

[elder marsh]

you might as well just send him a zip called "grabber" and he'd use it

[rapid merlin]

can somebody tell me how to stop getting humbled by these damn machines

[elder marsh]

What thing?

[quaint ferry]

ven

[velvet gull]

did you get in a fight with chatgpt or sth?

[elder marsh]

Oh

Yeah

Just I'm on phone rn

[rapid merlin]

LMAO

absolutely heated argument

[quaint ferry]

mine just decided to ggs itself oneday after all the ricing

[elder marsh]

Reinstall/repair

Via the installer

[rapid merlin]

I love ai

ai advocate here

[quaint ferry]

honestly transparent css is heavy on my igpu

[rapid merlin]

ready for the ai takeover

[elder marsh]

Consider forcing dgpu

[rapid merlin]

ai haters???

rise up

[elder marsh]

Or disabling things like Hardware acceleration

[quaint ferry]

sadly i use ai too like this guy

[elder marsh]

Power plan too, etc

[velvet gull]

whaddup

[quaint ferry]

dont hate me guys

[elder marsh]

It's just windows settings. Find graphics

[rapid merlin]

its impossible to not use it

its everywhere I look for Christ's sake

[dark wolf]

set resoution to 640x480 its the best

[velvet gull]

its definitely possible when youre avoiding it on purpose

[quaint ferry]

i know what you mean but my nvidia is used by qwen for automation

[pastel hamlet]

And how is that a good thing

[elder marsh]

no idea what qwen is

[rapid merlin]

definitely not saying its a good thing

[quaint ferry]

llm
*

[elder marsh]

ohhh

[rapid merlin]

honestly I don't know enough about ai to say just how bad it is exactly

[elder marsh]

kill it optimise it

[quaint ferry]

im making my own jarvis that runs in burpsuite and metasploit

[velvet gull]

use it for a week, drop it and then youll see how much youre struggling without it. it dumbs you down and makes it so you cant even research properly anymore cause you start relying on it instead.

[rapid merlin]

yaaa i heard about that

I fear ai for that reason alone

[quaint ferry]

i do agree but i have it make me ctfs and help me with learning

[rapid merlin]

man its all about the raw dog

no ai

no assistance

pure pain

[elder marsh]

A friend has limited usage for himself for avoiding that; he's fine doing his own research alongside them for any bonus stuff he might not have covered or to see if they're getting worse with what he does know

[rapid merlin]

no pain, no gain lol

[quaint ferry]

that works too tbh i understand both sides

[elder marsh]

He also will not let it write code for him under any circumstances (immense stare at a certain person)

[velvet gull]

yeah as long as that works for him thats fine, i personally do not let myself use AI for anything IT/cybersec related at all, might use it for a joke tho

[velvet gull]

g.........

[elder marsh]

Yeahh. He's a bit of a radgie but he's great & Linux dad to me

[quaint ferry]

i feel targeted

[elder marsh]

Not you

Someone else entirely

[quaint ferry]

cool

[lean arch]

anyone try clawdbot?

[river ore]

the ai app ?

[lean arch]

yeah

[quaint ferry]

few vibe coder warlords are here seems like a ollama server question

[river ore]

ive not but i have checked out claude

ollama is good

[lean arch]

I run ollama

[river ore]

ive messed with it

[lean arch]

I haven't done much with it though other than treating it like a cheap chatgpt

[quaint ferry]

not beginner freindly and i hate their interface

[river ore]

claude has a code helper

[velvet gull]

oh hell nah

[lean arch]

exactly

that's why I'm asking

I can't play with it

[quaint ferry]

just dont

[half relic]

i read that 20% of the skills are malware

[river ore]

on what

[half relic]

clawdbot i think. hang on let me see if i can find the article

[elder marsh]

Don't

[lean arch]

work would insta-fire me lol

[elder marsh]

Just don't

It had a vulnerability

[quaint ferry]

i did try it but renting a super workstation and install it there with glm 5 is smarter let the cloud break not yr pc

[elder marsh]

It's not worth it

[river ore]

clawdbot is malware

[quaint ferry]

huh

[river ore]

is that what i am understanding?

[elder marsh]

Eh

Sort of

[river ore]

ok

[elder marsh]

It's a huge target

[quaint ferry]

let me clarify it is not malware but most the versions of it online are laced with some bad stuff

[river ore]

is it due to being an uncensored ai ?

[quaint ferry]

if you dont know how to run it you gonna be sold on the darkweb bud soon

[elder marsh]

Plugins etc set up to be stealers or other things

[river ore]

ive never been on it

[half relic]

i can't seem to find the article i read but i found this https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/27/clawdbot_moltbot_security_concerns/

[lean arch]

I read an intel article on that earlier today

stealer logs grabbing clawd creds

[elder marsh]

Yup

[quaint ferry]

what are they doing to mr crabs

[elder marsh]

API keys too

There was also apparently a RAT Vs code extension

[lean arch]

It might have been api keys

[floral ice]

fly high

[lean arch]

now that I think of it

Only read it about an hour or so ago, I should remember

[quaint ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/sanjay-chat-tamil-chat-star-chat-star-tamil-chat-startamilchat-gif-8936003231549183977

i got the rat

[elder marsh]

People also tried faking the domain kinda. .co.uk instead of .com type of thing

[quaint ferry]

why are they renaming and rebranding every week

it's not even that special

[elder marsh]

They wanna copy off the things attacking. New names all the time!

[half relic]

they don't want people to link it to all the old articles about how insecure it is

[elder marsh]

It also supposedly has web access AND can do things without asking you

[quaint ferry]

whoever lacing this must be a vibe hacker cus bro perma on twitter

[elder marsh]

And it hasn't really been made with security in mind either

[river ore]

not to sounds like a dumby but what exactly is vibe hacking / coding ?

[velvet gull]

asking ai to code for you

[river ore]

oh ok

[quaint ferry]

i let my agent live in a control enviroment i dont let the agent run wide like this gemini in chrome thingy

[lean arch]

The internet is going to be a vibe coded mess in 5 years

[quaint ferry]

that's why insecure from the get go

[elder marsh]

Just look at IPv6 and imagine the nightmare that's already been coming

[river ore]

do you vibe code @quaint ferry ?

[elder marsh]

Because oh boy are we fucked

[quaint ferry]

dont expose me

[slow pagoda]

I like cheese

[river ore]

lol im not

[lean arch]

I vibe code a lot, but they are all scripts to do something specific

[quaint ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/yikes-monkey-look-and-leave-yikes-monkey-look-and-leave-gif-14895670

[velvet gull]

sounds like something a lactose intolerant person would say

[lean arch]

throw away scripts basically

[river ore]

what do you use mostly ?

[slow pagoda]

Dammit. I thought I blended in

[velvet gull]

never, real recognizes real

[slow pagoda]

[quaint ferry]

i vibe make new operating systems or new ctf infrastructures or have it teach me python by making games stuff like that

i also study the chad way like our ancestors who made all this

[mental spoke]

you are vibe coding operating systems?

[quaint ferry]

yes

[lean arch]

chad

[mental spoke]

why?

[quaint ferry]

why not

[velvet gull]

arent you afraid of it teaching you hallucinations?

[mental spoke]

thats not teaching you anything

thats reducing your skill to understand and think logically

[lean arch]

I 100% agree

[quaint ferry]

im hallucinating myself and i have method to combat that

[mental spoke]

i understand it can be done but if you are trying to learn it wont get you anywhere meaningful

[lean arch]

but I'm lazy sometimes

[timid orbit]

I’m lazy all the time

[river ore]

i wouldnt even know how to use ai to vibe code lol so ill stick to my learning paths lol

[mental spoke]

its not a BAD tool but for learners and ppl that arent solidified in programming and dont have a strong understanding of what they are looking at. it only dampens

[slow pagoda]

I’m eating shortbread fingers rn

[quaint ferry]

stizzy like i said it's for fun it's not like im releasing an os tommorow let the ai hallucinate a little it will fixes itself

[slow pagoda]

They’re so dry

[arctic epoch]

me too, my favorite is cheesecake.

[slow pagoda]

I had a whole raspberry cheesecake yesterday

[lean arch]

clawd make me a sammich

[slow pagoda]

Usually go for a New York cheesecake but wanted to spice my life up a little

[river ore]

was it good ?

[slow pagoda]

It was like, heaven in my mouth

[arctic epoch]

My last cheesecake was a strawberry cheesecake. Twas good.

[velvet gull]

what about with raisins?

[mental spoke]

idk an operating system is something i just couldnt catch myself vibe coding. thats too complex with too many variables for any token content window unless you are really good with prompting

[arctic epoch]

Before that. I had a pashka cheesecake on pascha easter last year.

[river ore]

eww naw lol

[slow pagoda]

Raisins with cheesecake sounds like a war crime

[velvet gull]

yall are missing out fr

[quaint ferry]

i do years of prompting

[timid orbit]

I’m missing out on a lot of stuff

[mental spoke]

i actually just got banned from GPT-Codex-5.3

sadly

[timid orbit]

How?

[quaint ferry]

lmao

[velvet gull]

cant be scared of living your life forever

[timid orbit]

I ain’t scared lol

[timid orbit]

I’m broke

[mental spoke]

they didnt exactly say why

[velvet gull]

alr i feel that

[quaint ferry]

wth did you ask it to do

[mental spoke]

i can only assume its because i had codex 5.3 reverse engineer a DRM

it didnt try to stop itself

LOL

[quaint ferry]

ahhh

[half relic]

oh

[quaint ferry]

rookie

[river ore]

oof

[mental spoke]

it did it tho LOL

[half relic]

i thought you were writing fanfic or something

[quaint ferry]

you're on a watchlist THO

[half relic]

lol

[mental spoke]

the drm is from like 15 years ago ill be fine

its alr been cracked and is circulating the internet

[timid orbit]

Nintendo finna pull up in juggernaut suits

[quaint ferry]

[half relic]

i was researching stuff for rooms here and google made me do a captcha

[mental spoke]

nah its a really old ECU tuning software from like 2003

made by a random person in the tuning community

hardcoded values

[half relic]

never got banned anywhere but i wonder if my ip is on a list now or something

[mental spoke]

its not my fault they added zero like restrictions for reverse engineering

it shouldn't have just automatically went through with the request. i didnt even work around. i said i need to reverse engineer this software for my school project. make a detailed write up

and it did exactly that

[quaint ferry]

use gpt oss 20b uncensored

[half relic]

that sucks if it was just for a school project

[quaint ferry]

and ask it fir hints not reverse

[mental spoke]

im running a few of these on ollama

[velvet gull]

oh yeah ofc it was

[mental spoke]

it wasnt i just said that

LOL

[quaint ferry]

he just wanna access the mainframe vibe style

[mental spoke]

figured it might help sway the decision

[timid orbit]

My dad used to get emails from ISP telling us to stop torrenting shit when I was younger. I’m definitely on a watchlist

[mental spoke]

DMCA notices wont put you on one tbh

[half relic]

i can't believe it was your dad

lol

[velvet gull]

"my grandma died and before sleep she was always telling me exactly how she reverse engineered this piece of software..."

[mental spoke]

ISP is required to send them out to avoid major lawsuits

[half relic]

i'm old

[quaint ferry]

[timid orbit]

It was me lol

[mental spoke]

[half relic]

i don't get those anymore

[mental spoke]

[half relic]

one person in room help was actually using machine_ip instead of the ip

[mental spoke]

try using verbose output

[limber forum]

Haha nah def using the real IP, but now I'm actually just thinking it may be because I'm using the Kali Box and sometimes the Kali Box does get a bit buggy

[sullen schooner]

So I can understand Assembly

N don't destroy my already nuked brain more

That's the reason I haven't watched bleach either

[quaint ferry]

well it's as big as learning c and assembly thats why you probably have a job and i dont

No C is simple

Assembly isn’t

C++ isn’t either

yes iv seen on youtube shitok insta every average glm chad is making he own os and run it on virtual box

[sullen schooner]

I asked my developer friend where I can learn C scripting

[timid orbit]

SCRIPTING?

[sullen schooner]

N he send me a walkthrough video of how to make ur own compiler

[mental spoke]

Much better

[timid orbit]

That’s a whole ass CS class btw

[autumn solar]

Isn't that already a VirtualBox edition of something?

[sullen schooner]

Yes... Don't you need scripting to learn reverse engineering n do custom exploits?

[stuck ridge]

Humm wdym 🙂

[mental spoke]

yes

[timid orbit]

You don’t SCRIPT with C. Excuse me)

[sullen schooner]

I think you do if you want to build something from scratch

Also to understand the working

C is the closest to assembly level

[timid orbit]

No honestly you don’t even need to learn how to program in C. You can, and it gives you fine-grain memory access control, but you can do anything you want in Rust or Python

[mental spoke]

You cannot do stuff like reverse engineer with ghidra without understanding programming and being able to write your own logic

good luck without it.

[sullen schooner]

Yee

[timid orbit]

You just need to learn a few approaches, but that’s it

It definitely helps tho

It wasn't exactly that but it was a bunch of C2 tools in one place, it had Metasploit, SilentTrinity, Sliver, Covenant etc.

I forget the name but I saw it a few days ago

Was because I didn't find competitive coding n leetcode type shit fun

which is true but you need to go into it with atleast SOME amount of programming knowledge or you are dampening yourself

Hum well, i guess i will just type the command by myself then :))

With stuff like this you can avoid most programming languages and just use the tools at your disposal and learn some methods like the other user said but still.

[autumn solar]

This is actually true. Gotta be able to translate ASM to C in your head and back again. It's a good skill to have.

[timid orbit]

the other user

[mighty prism]

Im honestly in awe seeing some of ur guys knowledge in cybersec

[timid orbit]

🥺

[mighty prism]

Especially this void dude

[mental spoke]

otheruser == void_reality

python is actually stupid easy btw

compared to other languges?

its like reading plain english lol

[autumn solar]

Whatever you do, do NOT compare yourself to anyone you'll find here. Lol that way only comes regret padawan.

[mental spoke]

python the languge itself is easy. getting yourself into a problem solving and logical mindset is whats hard. you need to think like a computer and instruct

[autumn solar]

And wanting to embark on the competitive beer drinking circuit.

[timid orbit]

Can I be invited

[autumn solar]

Compare yourself to who you were a month ago or three months or a year ago.

[mighty prism]

so I was wondering if u would recommend anything for me.

Right now, ive completed TCM Academy Helpdesk and THM Presecurity, and rn im on CyberSec 101 THM and im on exploitation basics.

My method of learning is, I complete the room read throughly and use echo AI for anything I dont understand until I get it and after I complete the room i watch "The Helpful Hacker" walk-through the room to understand it more

[mighty prism]

Yeah thats true tbh

I wish I started when earlier, im 17 im a bit cooked

[autumn solar]

Absolutely!

[mental spoke]

If you want some solid advice. try to skip using echo ai and start asking question in discord.

[mighty prism]

I rlly wanna become a unit in offsec / red teaming

[mighty prism]

I think id be a bit annoying

😭

[timid orbit]

You’re not even close to cooked. Most don’t start until midway thru IT career

[mental spoke]

its not necessarily that echos advice will all be wrong but you need the skill of being able to formulate questions and ask for help within communties. its a VITAL skill to have

[mighty prism]

Ill try my best

[mighty prism]

Ahhh

I rlly started at like 12 skidding malware and roblox loggers 😭

I started in october

[mental spoke]

if you think youre asking toooo much just use echo but try your best to use discord or other communities so you get used to asking questions and getting problems solved

[mighty prism]

Im proud of myself tho from how far ive came

[mighty prism]

Ill ask questions that I rlly dont understand

But based on what im doing rn, any additions ? Advice?

Think I should make a portfolio of everything im doing? Like a journal

[mental spoke]

id say keep it up and keep being consistent

[stuck ridge]

I started with airgeddon and deauth attacked my IT class wifi

[autumn solar]

My first experience with hacking came from Diablo 1 way the hell back in 2000 or so. It was insane how you could just kick people out of their games lol

[stuck ridge]

Yes, i was a skid that time when i live boot kali for cool

[timid orbit]

Post it all on LinkedIn along the way so hopefully you can actually get an internship or job

[mighty prism]

😭

[mental spoke]

one thing that helps me and has continued to help me throughout my computer science studies is NOTES. if i dont take notes on something i dont retain nearly as much of the information i read. physically writing it down or typing it out really allows it to seep into the brain atleast for me in my case.

[mighty prism]

Ah okay, i was thinking of making a github page

[stuck ridge]

Fun fact: every experience hackes was once a skid

[mighty prism]

Tbh I slack kn this

[stuck ridge]

Yall take notes?😭

Should i start take notes?
