[oak river]

Yessss

Good evening, Everyone!

[green kestrel]

Hey! i wanted you guys to checkout my plan:

As a complete beginner. Firstly, I want to master the fundamentals:

1. TCM Academy Helpdesk Course (Get the fundamentals down)
2. Read the The-elements-of-computing-systems-building-a-modern-computer book (ebook) to grasp the pinnicle details of a system
3. take a look at networking: THM Presecurity, HTB Academy (Introduction to networking) then complete the CCNA material
4. Learning Linux & windows fundamentals using tryhackme presec, then comp0leting HTB Academy (Windows & Linux Fundamentals)
5. From there, learning programming: Python ( AutomateTheBoringStuff & Python Crash course ERIC Mathhes) to a comfortable standard and make my own scripts
6. I will then complete the: Information Security Foundations pathway on HackTheBox academy
7. After laying the foundations down, i will complete tryhackme cybersecurity 101 and then complete the whole pentester pathway
8. I will then do hackthebox pentester pathway and actively compete in ctf challenges and hackerone

Also, this year im joining a college course "T Level - Digital Infrastructure" which is mostly academic with work experience off sits.

My goal: Becoming a solid ethical hacker (I dont need a job, just want skill)

[dark frost]

That's solid , but you will found out most the things you mentionned planning to learn , a lot of content will repeat itself

[green kestrel]

Any other advice?

[queen flare]

just start learning stuff, you'll know better what you need to learn along the way

you'll be able to refine resources along the way as you need to

what u said sounds like a good start

[dark frost]

There is a free course on Netacad academi , called ethical hacker 70 hours you become a hacker with a cert

[queen flare]

cert?

[dark frost]

Free cert

Certificat

[queen flare]

oh

haven't heard of it before, thanks for mentioning

[dark frost]

And a badge you can pin on linkedin

[ebon nacelle]

Hello

[queen flare]

howdy

[ebon nacelle]

i need a partner for rooms to solve together

if he/she be an afgan that becomes good

if you can help me i will be happy

[queen flare]

@dark frost do you mind sending me link to the course?
it doesn't show up on my search results for some reason

@ebon nacelle if you need help with a room, you can ask in #room-help

[ebon nacelle]

No bro i want a partner can you found for me

[tranquil flicker]

i was wondering if i could plz get some guidance through my tryhackme.com journey...sorry but i am a beginner, the only thing really going for me is im a millenial and have a pretty good understanding of how pcs work and i can type, on a good day 115 ish WPM

idk what im doing wrong but im already confused by the step4 on the site\

idk how to wrtie any code

[tame axle]

#start-here

[tranquil flicker]

im a total beginner that way

kk tyvm

umm ive already read that my kind sir

im on step 4

regarding making a fake transer

my apologies but im a total beginner with source codes and how to write whatsoever but im adhd AF and learn quick

its just ive had 3 family members victimized by horrible people

and ill do anything to prevent that again\

if someone could plz dm me maybe so im not blowing up ur chats...last thing i want is to breach any of the rules i finished reading through

Bro I'd recommend doing pre-security learning path, and then cybersecurity 101 learning path

[tranquil flicker]

Ty bro I’m just seeing this page now, that was recommended to me on the site by someone I just followed

Idc how long it takes I’m here for the haul

[simple drift]

Nice man, all the best

[tranquil flicker]

I absolutely hate purple who r sexually deviant and scamming seniors

Let’s say I have a personal familial vested interest

[simple drift]

Sounds like you have a solid sense of mission

[weak rampart]

[tranquil flicker]

Brother, without getting graphically detailed in this chat room…my family 3 members, 2 baby sisters and a senior extended member of family

Won’t say the exact details cuz they’re definitely not PF13

no

[pastel tartan]

i don't know but i want to learn binary exploitation but i feel like it's not related to pen testing and afraid my progress in pen testing would be for nothing

[floral socket]

I would suggest doing it. GUIDs and SUIDs can be very exploitable

[dusty tapir]

yea thats more hacking/red teaming

[mental spoke]

got a long day ahead of me. time to study

[floral socket]

but also, gtfobins is all you really need to exploit SUID and GUID

[dusty tapir]

ok found a d10 dice. nat 9 and I do a lock in

@chilly veldt the clerk said to cut your heavy as dense ass brick of a "bread" into thin pieceses. How do y'all do it?

[dapper garnet]

Hello. 👋

[dark wolf]

Nobody huh?

[chilly veldt]

With a bread knife

[tame axle]

for what ?

[dapper garnet]

So what's interesting in here.

[boreal scarab]

Not a special slicer? Just SUPER thin with a bread knife?

How thin we talking? See through?

[dapper garnet]

[boreal scarab]

No shit, i know wat a fucking bread knife is. I didnt know if y'all had a board to specifically cut this dense bread

[loud marlin]

get obsidian knife. thats at last sharp

[chilly veldt]

No no, those are also for white bread

[loud marlin]

w8... there's knife for non white bread ?!

[boreal scarab]

How thin y'all cut it?

[chilly veldt]

Like 1.5-2 inches

[sick lance]

... The American who loves food, doesn't know how to cut bread?

[boreal scarab]

Takk, Bella!!!

[chilly veldt]

That's norwegian

[loud marlin]

they know shit in general... just fat and oil

[boreal scarab]

It's danish dense ass bread. It has an AUDIBLE thud when it lands on a table

[sick lance]

That's crust.

[boreal scarab]

I know, I'm Norwegian, you're getting a Norwegian thanks lol

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @chilly veldt (current: #9 - 1027)

[chilly veldt]

No

[boreal scarab]

@sick lance THIS is dense ass Danish bread

[chilly veldt]

That's fuldkorn rugbrød

Aka full grain bread

[boreal scarab]

[chilly veldt]

Tbh the best version is from the bakery directly baked, with a warm inside

[boreal scarab]

Sadly not in Minnesota so sadly dont have that luxury here. Maybe something in NYC? Dunno

[wet eagle]

what about baguette? Do you guys like it?

[sick lance]

All bread tastes better warm.

[chilly veldt]

With liver paté

[slender current]

Chat if i want to get into JSC Exploitation should i become advanced on c++ or just learn the basics?

[boreal scarab]

Or tubed Kaviar

[slender current]

Anyone have idea?

[sturdy sequoia]

sure why not (sorry, i do not have any idea)

[wet eagle]

C++ basics are enough to understand and start exploiting JSC (pointers, classes, memory layout).
But if you want to write stable and modern exploits (PAC bypass, MTE, etc.) and compete in high Apple bounties, you are going to need intermediate-advanced level sooner or later.
Start with basics + classic exploitation in V8 (more write-ups), then jump to JSC when you already master heap grooming and fake objects.

i was wondering if anyone else comes across their recap questions being a question which you have not yet covered at all in the course?

i am very new to this. please be kind.

[wet eagle]

Hii hows it going!!

[sick lance]

The questions are coming from AI, so they could be all over the place.

Hello people

[eternal timber]

Hello person

[frail stag]

Weed

[slow cloud]

I wish

But my gf doea. Not approve of weed

[tranquil flicker]

she shouldbnt

i say shes smart

[sturdy sequoia]

here we go again

[tranquil flicker]

and im only saying this as a former 22 year pot smoker everyday

i wouldnbt smoke unless it was minimum a gram blunt

but listen

weed is the only drug ur brain does not ever heal from\

[urban ravine]

I love dense bread

[tranquil flicker]

its also so addictive u have no idea how badly until u quit...ur more likely to commit homicide or suicide within the first 30 days of getting off it\

and i can only tell u this accurately cuz i went to rehab for 2 years

the anxiety is causes is so immense it makes yu very volatile\

thats why there r always fights in jail

i never used to believe it was a drug until i grew up and didnt want it in my life anymore\

i suffered withdrawals from it for almost 2 years my guy

but theyre very hard to identify...cuz its mostly a chemical reaction in ur brain that causes all ur organs to suffer...cuz when u smoke anything, the millions of spider veins in ur lungs lead to everyh part of ur body...so when u stop it, all organs and ur brain will feel horrible, causiong u distress and high anxiety with a propensity to violence

maybe one day u will realize it....hopefully sooner than later cuz clinically ur bipolar after 10 years of everyday pot use

after 20 years ur severe depressant

do some research on cause and effect of smoking anything and how badly it effects the mind and body

pot kills what r known as peptides in ur brain...and once theyre destroyed, there is no way to replenish them

prove me wrong

[sturdy sequoia]

is the lecture over yet?

[tranquil flicker]

*mic drop\

lmfao\

e z

dont act all karen cuz i was trying to instill positive advice to prevent self harm bud

prove me wrong if u have an issue with anything i said...ttfn

The two new ones just because I don’t have them. Pre security and 101. The paid certs. For games I went into Python not long ago because I wanted to learn it. Started a simple classic snakes game but now I’m looking into pixel games.

[sturdy sequoia]

reminds me of

[green kestrel]

LOL

[languid aurora]

anyways, you can still learn some of phase 1 and 2 on tryhackme and HTB academy pathways.

[sturdy sequoia]

also ccna is a lot, you can get by early on with a less extensive course

[green kestrel]

ye

i might use the comptia net+ material

from professormesser

[sturdy sequoia]

even thats a full cert worth of material

the thm and htb beginner labs should be enough to get you started. then if you enjoy the networking side of things you can delve deeper

same goes for python, you could put that further down the list

[green kestrel]

Hm yeah, but i just wanna be the best i can

[sturdy sequoia]

as good as it is to know the fundamentals, as you can see theres still so much to learn. aside from ethical hacker, do you have a particular area youre interested in?

[green kestrel]

red teaming

[sturdy sequoia]

i barely know python and ive been a hobbyist hacker for decades

[green kestrel]

example of what u do?

[sturdy sequoia]

lots. haha. my main area of interest is network based security

[green kestrel]

as in?

[glacial berry]

Happy Women's Day

[sturdy sequoia]

my current project is a wifi hacking guide

[green kestrel]

fair enough

any advice for me

[sturdy sequoia]

learn the very basics of as many different areas as you can. then keep following the things you enjoy the most. write lots of notes

theres so many different options you wont be able to learn it all. and if you spend too long focusing on areas you dont enjoy you might burn out or lose interest

worry about certs later when you start thinking about getting a job

[clear parrot]

Hey ! So recently the hackers have created such a program to hack the different parts of my body and somehow they have done free typing in my brain and heartbeat kind of repeating in my head which is very difficult to study. If anyone had any idea how to fix it would be helpful

[sturdy sequoia]

what?

[sturdy sequoia]

do not send a dm/fr without asking first

[clear parrot]

Hey there ! Had any idea on how to end it ?

[sturdy sequoia]

i dont even know what youre talking about

[clear parrot]

So it's a advance neural network injection protocols do you had any idea on how to end it ?

Mind asking all of your friends

[sturdy sequoia]

are you ok?

it sounds like you think someone is hacking your brain

[clear parrot]

Yeah correct

[languid aurora]

their discord ID sounds troll..

[clear parrot]

No but I'm not trolling around

[sturdy sequoia]

then you need to see a mental healthcare professional, not randoms on the internet

[modest orchid]

well it sure seems like something or you need a doctor

[clear parrot]

Istg its a advanced neural network injection protocols and I have no way on how to end it ?

[floral bramble]

Let's study sometime bro so we can finish faster & efficiently if that's cool with you

[sturdy sequoia]

i dont want to say anything that might make your episode worse so im going to ignore you now

[clear parrot]

Alright

[sturdy sequoia]

either way, not my problem any more

[modest orchid]

yeah i just reported it ....someone playing games

[undone flax]

Here's to broadening one's horizons. Aside from tryhackme, what other platforms do you guys use in order to "learn" and expand your utilities?

[sturdy sequoia]

I don't, but I've heard good things about hack the box, hack smarter, and portswigger

[strong fjord]

Im thinking of buying one

[bleak sundial]

Hi

[soft wharf]

Are you from Japan?

[sturdy sequoia]

Yer those kinds of sites are good for labs. For straight learning information i just use Google and check multiple sources

[bleak sundial]

i fell in love in cybersecurity (0 knowledge at all) i think ill be staying here for a while, Nice to meet you guys

[sturdy sequoia]

Nice, and welcome

[strong fjord]

Nice 2 meet u zawg

[abstract nimbus]

no, I'm not from japan, but I can japanese

[bleak sundial]

before i go to thm, what foundation should i build?

typo

[sturdy sequoia]

Thm has a section called pre security. That's a good place to start #start-here

[bleak sundial]

srry

[bleak sundial]

does it offer the very first thing i should learn?

i meant it, i dont have any knowledge of

internet

[sturdy sequoia]

It gives you an idea of the stuff you should learn before all the security stuff

[bleak sundial]

Ok, thank you

ill check it

I would like to read a book

About Cybersecurity

[signal ingot]

I'm also newbie

[crimson bramble]

Can I post a question here?

[soft wharf]

I am more of a book person

[sturdy sequoia]

yep

[crimson bramble]

Which command would successfully perform a continuous ping with packet count limit?

ping (incorrect)
ping -c (incorrect)
ping -c 5 (incorrect)
ping -c 5 google.com (incorrect)
ping -n (incorrect)

This is a question in the recap of module 2 in Pre Security. Looking for enlightment here, as I'm sure anything beyond ping or ping -c wasn't discussed in the module.

[soft wharf]

Which ones should I read as beginner? Thanks

[signal ingot]

fping or ping website .com no need to put -c

[crimson bramble]

still incorrect

[signal ingot]

Oh its question

[bleak sundial]

What about reading in websites?

[soft wharf]

That's okay too

[bleak sundial]

what are you into?

[soft wharf]

Blue team

[signal ingot]

you read interesting stuff in mitre .org

[soft wharf]

Defending feels more like me

[crimson bramble]

Even ChatGPT says ping -c or -n

[bleak sundial]

i will try this, its my first time hearing this

[signal ingot]

Use claude 4.6

[bleak sundial]

i usually go to w3schools

[signal ingot]

and before asking beg not to hallucinate before ask the main question

[crimson bramble]

I think the problem is in the question 😂

[signal ingot]

Nah its tryhackme riddle for beginners

Tryhackme is always giving you a puzzle to practice your critical thinking

[crimson bramble]

yes but the answer is ping -c if you're on Linux or ping -n if you're on windows followed by a number and the site/IP

[soft wharf]

By the way, I am on a Debian system

Do I need to switch to Kali for cybersecurity?

[sturdy sequoia]

nope. everything you get on kali you can get on debian

i thought it was a funny lyric "and i keep a hammer"

[frail stag]

oh what yout thought that who hacked me

[frail stag]

?

I don’t understand this grammar?

[acoustic tangle]

then what i write for you bye then to you

[frail stag]

Just because it’s in English doesn’t mean ill be able to understand it if the grammar isn’t proper

^

[frail stag]

😭😭😭

I’m being serious

I’m not trying to make fun or anything.

I genuinely had a hard time understanding that.

U can type in English words. But u need to make them make sense

I said 5 seconds dude. Clearly it was a minor power outage

[acoustic tangle]

okay sorry i was just chilling if you got hur sorry again

[frail stag]

I genuinely don’t know what ur trying to say

This conversation has not made sense

[frail stag]

Or got anywhere lol

[acoustic tangle]

i was just saying sorry because you said that i don't know your grammar thats why i said sorry for being not writing right

[frail stag]

No u don’t need to apologize, I wasn’t mad

I was genuinely saying it to hopefully get u to correct the phrase

[acoustic tangle]

okay thanks

No worries, I’m not mad or anything, don’t worry I just wanted to understand what u where saying

Bc it sounded like u where either saying

U hacked me? Or I hacked u?

That’s how the sentence made me think like

[acoustic tangle]

no way i was saying that you must thought with yourself that how my pc got hacked automatically

[frail stag]

?

Bro I’m sorry but I can’t understand

I will continue my school work rn

[acoustic tangle]

@frail stag No way, I meant that you probably wondered how my PC got hacked
i was saying this

[frail stag]

No I never said this, that’s why this is confusing me

[acoustic tangle]

okay just leave this conversation have anything else to talk about

[frail stag]

well I was just saying that my power went out, and I joked about how I was thinking that I got hacked (it was just a joke lol)

[frail stag]

So @acoustic tangle - I checked all the links. They all seem legit and safe, although I don’t see any download game anywhere - why is that?

[sturdy sequoia]

i do work on my own lab. i dont need a partner

[frail stag]

I can’t confirm if the download for the game is safe or not.

[ebon nacelle]

accept me not like partner but like for a student

[sturdy sequoia]

i definitely dont want to be a teacher

[vital cliff]

Anyone completing the MWR internship 2026?

[ebon nacelle]

ok i just wanted to learn and practice on my skills with you or someone but you did not accept it 🙃

[blissful current]

[sturdy sequoia]

you should try on your own rather than waiting around for someone else

[ebon nacelle]

ok but i need help i can not with my own self

[night prairie]

I have a System76 Oryx Pro on its last legs
Any recommendations for a laptop that has good battery life and heat management, good enough to run multiple VMs and docker containers, and some light gaming?

MacBook looked enticing but ARM will pose an issue for cyber security labs and any x86 dynamic analysis or binary exploitation

[ebon nacelle]

No sorry The real hero is the one who gets himself from nothing or zero to 100. Listen to me. Work on it now and practice.

[kind linden]

Go with lenevo yoga series

[acoustic tangle]

yes bro you are right my friend said that now the next playtest will be available on steam and he will give the details in the server of the game

[frail stag]

I would need to confirm the download file

I always check links and download files

[acoustic tangle]

so you don't have the download file

[night prairie]

Will look into it, thank you for the recommendation

[twin ridge]

If u can send it to me in private chat i will confirm it myself

[acoustic tangle]

@languid aurora will have it

[frail stag]

Okay

[kind linden]

You can give me that game. I'm free today

[acoustic tangle]

sorry but hte playtest is over wait for the steam release

[kind linden]

Oh okay no problem

[frail stag]

Again, I’m making it clear that I’m not blaming u, but I’m not gonna say ur risk free yk, but don’t act like I’m being judgy im just like this to everyone

[acoustic tangle]

i didn't say anything about that why are us examining the files examine it becasue i just want that many are blaming me here that you are a scammer and i don't want that name to be mine

[frail stag]

I examine every link and file

Doesn’t matter who It’s from

Not just u

[acoustic tangle]

its okay so you are an expert reverse engneer right

[frail stag]

?

I’m just always confirming anything I click or download

[acoustic tangle]

i meant that are you a reverse engineer

[frail stag]

That’s 1 of them, but I use many more than just that

First it’s my own personal opinion

Then it comes those tools and other things

urlscan.io - good for URLscan’s

Google safe browsing is good

^ tor browser is good if u want anonymity

I’ll examine a file without running it or downloading it, but if I can’t confirm it, I’m just not downloading it or clicking it

I do not run it and examine how it behaves if that’s what ur asking

Yah so a no

I don’t even want to watch what happens

[kind linden]

Then it's called reverse search not reverse engineering

[frail stag]

I’m just not going to want to see it

I’m going to want to avoid it

[frail stag]

^

If I can’t confirm if it’s malacious or not. I’m not downloading it or clicking it

[stoic quarry]

[naive kelp]

I logged in my account on my uni device and then I got banned

[stoic quarry]

He told me about how he used Tor to check an itch.io link and how he checked every link was legitimate. I asked if he's actually had experience with RE and he just said that it's a .zip

[stoic quarry]

Did you dispute a transaction?

[frail stag]

Dude u blocked me before I could even explain everything. Ur such a clown.

[kind linden]

It's good in theory/practice but doesn't makes sence in real works. In a situation where your boss sends you a link and you are verifiieng it for hours, then it's all done. It's good but using it too much doesn't makes sence

[naive kelp]

No

Where is the support team😭

[stoic quarry]

Or someone who doesn't know what RE is and is a bit too into the weeds with thinking you need to use Tor for a known legitimate domain

[stoic quarry]

Depends on your org

[frail stag]

Tor offers more anonymity than a VPN

[stoic quarry]

Here we go

[kind linden]

Damn you are cooked

[stoic quarry]

Yep lol

[frail stag]

Not typing the same long ass message I had to send to 1 mf who wasn’t gonna understand this and how tor offers more anonymity than a VPN.

[stoic quarry]

Bro said I wasn't going to understand it. I fully understand the difference between VPNs and onion routing, but that had nothing to do with the matter at hand - being checking an itch.io page.

[frail stag]

Make sure it’s https

[stoic quarry]

The domain is basically a file hosting site. Whether you use Tor, a VPN, or just cURL it, you'd get the same info

[frail stag]

If u knew how https works between http

[stoic quarry]

Yes lol

[frail stag]

Https traffic is encrypted end-to-end

[sturdy sequoia]

haha this is hilarious

[timid prism]

Lucask and damon top 1 couple

[stoic quarry]

That's what they say aye

[frail stag]

If I visit a website that’s for “research chemicals” - they can’t see that.

[kind linden]

Tor already has it's own vpn. If you use a vpn of your own it's okay just makes browsing slow

[mortal reef]

´

[frail stag]

Search it up. Do ur own research on this. See for urself. If that’s all ur gonna say, go do research on it.

[naive kelp]

Day0 of getting banned from thm 😭

[stoic quarry]

[stoic quarry]

@frail stag that's a good point actually. Have you used WireShark to check your own HTTPS traffic?

Or used it before

[sturdy sequoia]

Haha i hope you read this as a compliment, you seem older

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sturdy sequoia (current: #53 - 217)

[stoic quarry]

We were talking about reverse engineering and you shifted the conversation to be about Tor being better than VPNs

[kind linden]

Bro is gone

[frail stag]

With Tor, the traffic is encrypted. So the packet capture only would show tor traffic, not the final site. Like if I where to search “Research Chemicals”

[languid aurora]

Is pi zero 2w's storage only micro SD cards? no nvme hats?

I wanna make a captive portal only, can't afford a whole pi4 nor pi5 rn.

[mortal sparrow]

does anyone use metasploit's scanners instead of nmap?

[sturdy sequoia]

Do you need more storage than a micro sd?

[kind linden]

Terrible idea.

[stoic quarry]

Roblox? Lmao

[mortal sparrow]

whys that

[languid aurora]

Nope. I just think nvmes last longer than microSD card.

[sturdy sequoia]

Ah fair enough

[frail stag]

That capture just shows normal HTTPS traffic - HTTPS uses port 443 (as I learned in my networking technologies course) - if I’m using Tor. A local wireshark capture only shows the connection to the Tor entry node, not the final website, such as if I where searching up for “Research Chemicals”

[kind linden]

nmap is faster got more reliable modules/scripts rather than metasploit. Also metasploit build for exploitation not scanning

[stoic quarry]

Yknow, those things anyone can set up

[kind linden]

There is nothing bad on using it, just it feels cringe to me

[frail stag]

The exit node can see the destination site lmaooo but it only sees the previous tor relay as a source and NOT the users ip so a local wireshark capture on the client would only show the connection to the entry node

[mortal sparrow]

nah I get that I get that

also why tf cant I set a reverse tcp on thm's targets?
it always falls using a bind shell

[ebon nacelle]

hey DEMO come privet

[languid aurora]

привет

[kind linden]

Maybe target host is slow to responce or network packet size is high. You can try sudo ip link set dev tun0 mtu 1200 before connecting to target

[mortal sparrow]

lmao funny man, every vpn will log ur ass

[glossy rampart]

the destination is the vpn server
not the website's server

[mortal sparrow]

hmmm
it is a possibility
thanks I will try that out

[frail stag]

Tls does reveal the source + destination of a connection but when im using tor, the connection is literally from my machines to the entry node, not the website (such as if I where searching up for “research chemicals” - why do I even keep repeating myself at this point yo 😭) like… the website connection happens later in the circuit at the exit node.

[glossy rampart]

then whats the topic about

[kind linden]

One famous technique used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation was a browser exploit.

During the Operation Torpedo, investigators targeted hidden services hosting illegal content.
They injected a malicious JavaScript payload into the website.When a visitor opened the page using the Tor Browser.The script exploited a Firefox vulnerability.It forced the browser to make a direct connection outside Tor.That request revealed the real IP address.This malware was called Network Investigative Technique (NIT).

[languid aurora]

research chemicals

[mortal sparrow]

could it be thm's vpn blocking cons into clients?

[stoic quarry]

The topic has shifted so much lol

[kind linden]

maybe but i'm not sure. It's hard to identify if thm got some issues.

[stoic quarry]

Oh you asked if I have experience with RE? Well.... I use Tor, and Tor is better than VPNs, so yeah 🫵 😉

[glossy rampart]

the topic's changing so fast couldnt even catch up tbh

[kind linden]

Anyone can run a Tor relay. Investigators sometimes operate their own nodes in Tor.

If they control:
an entry node
and an exit node
they may attempt traffic correlation attacks.
Match patterns like:
packet size
timing
traffic bursts.
If both ends match, they might infer the user.
This is extremely difficult and rarely definitive.

[stoic quarry]

Fr

[kind linden]

It's a real method

& advanced

[frail stag]

No. Keep dreaming lil bro. Keep dreaming. Tls does not expose source n destination for a connection, im tryna say that with tor the connection is from my system/machine to the entry node and not the website. The website connection literally happens at the exit node so a local comp only shows tor traffic and not the website.

[ebon nacelle]

hey guys i just left this question can you help me Now that we know some of the finer details of the system we are working with, let's start escalating our privileges. First, what is the architecture of the process we're running?
this is in ICE lap

[frail stag]

No. But this whole time I been tryna say that w tor the connection from my machine is to the entry node and not the final website, they ain’t finna se me go to a website w research chemicals lil bro.

[kind linden]

Btw from my pov nothing safe if user is dump like:

Logging into personal email
Using the same username elsewhere
Posting identifying info
Timezone leaks
Metadata in files
Reusing PGP keys

Just a little OSINT & all done. No vpn/tor can save

[stoic quarry]

That's OPSEC, not OSINT

[stoic quarry]

TLS packets just go where they want to. It's beautiful in that way

`TLS && ip.src`` and WireShark tells you

[kind linden]

Btw ,
Even if communication is anonymous, payments may not be:
Investigators use blockchain analysis tools to trace Bitcoin transactions.Companies like Chainalysis track money flows.Once money hits an exchange with KYC, investigators can identify the person.

[sturdy sequoia]

google says
No, TLS (Transport Layer Security) does not encrypt the source and destination IP addresses
now i dont know who to believe 😛

[kind linden]

What the hell just happened, in just 10 min in this server is cringe though

Guys rate this combo:

THM CTF room + Red bull

1-5

[stoic quarry]

1

[glacial berry]

1 is the highest btw

[stoic quarry]

Okay

[glacial berry]

👀

[stoic quarry]

5

Lol

[kind linden]

Logically 5>1

[stoic quarry]

I don't like redbull

[glacial berry]

1st 2nd like that

[glacial berry]

First time trying here

Haven't had a sip yet

[stoic quarry]

Okay

[languid aurora]

3. how about if you exchange red Bull with black coffee?

[glacial berry]

I got my allowance so bought it

[glacial berry]

Mmmm, nice deal

Then Red bull + Wresting
rate this

[languid aurora]

gives you wings/5.

[glacial berry]

Mmmm

So I can use the y axis to attack from above

[stoic quarry]

LLM probs

Damon you still a student?

[glacial berry]

Mmmm, red bull tastes weird

[stoic quarry]

Send your tutors this chat lol

[glacial berry]

Why are you a student?

Mmmmmm, so we pay taxes, I see.

[languid aurora]

what's your course

[frail stag]

I’m talking about tor, go do research on tor, im dong tryna explain what tor is and what it does and how it works to someone who can’t even read what im saying for tor….

[frail stag]

.

[languid aurora]

wished our uni had cybersec diploma.

[blissful current]

which sem/year?

[frail zenith]

The man the myth the legend

[blissful current]

cool enjoy

[stoic quarry]

Australian?

[languid aurora]

so many Australians here

shyft, tao, Damon, who elese

[blissful current]

the company i work for is also Australian

[frail zenith]

Emus are coming ?

[languid aurora]

wow

[sturdy sequoia]

we're everywhere

[frail stag]

If u can read, I proceeded to say “im tryna say that with tor” - so clearly u keep avoiding the part where im talking about tor and how it works.

[stoic quarry]

Summers in AU suck tho

Way too hot

[frail zenith]

Don't like heat but UAE 😭

[frail stag]

If u can read, I proceeded to say “im tryna say that with tor” - so clearly u keep avoiding the part where im talking about tor and how it works.

[stuck ridge]

I saw a map abt which country is safe to live in ww3, Australia is the safest among

[blissful current]

definitely not there as of whats going on there lol

[stoic quarry]

NZ better 🥝

[languid aurora]

yeah, the Komodo dragons and kangaroos will protect the Aussies against the opposition.

[stoic quarry]

AU has awful humidity

At least last time I was there

[blissful current]

technically I work for them from the same org i am in

[timid prism]

I do not like this heat

[frail zenith]

Well it's more like rather than safe they have evolved

The invaders gonna get killed by the creatures before boarding land

Also no one likes radioactive godzilla to roam free

[timid prism]

Its 30 inside my room 😭

[stoic quarry]

Are they influencers

[frail zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/stewie-griffin-scarred-for-life-scared-for-life-scared-scarred-gif-9177602126956972419

Dubai+ influencers

[languid aurora]

madladyoda too, he's an Aussie. Bro eats kangaroos (literally,he admitted) .

[stoic quarry]

You can get kangaroo jerky in the airport in AU

[frail zenith]

Eat the menaces

So you box with them and the winner get's to eat opponent

?

[languid aurora]

have you boxed with a kangaroo before, sumo?

[timid prism]

Will cybersec degree be preferred over normal cs degree ppl? Like not immediately out of clg but what can i as a non cybersec degree do to atleast be somewhere near them? ( My uni doesnt have cyber)
If not then i am thinking of shifting to deep learning fields and research as thats available. Any suggestions please?

[kind linden]

If any one knows c plus plus, try to modify this code & fix halucination, issues of this bot. It's a bot used for race through 4check points each round. I used this in my last hackathon but lost just because it got confused after a collision with enemy bot. You can use this code on https://codingames.com bot challange tournament. Just i need some one who can help me to fix hallucination issue of it.

[languid aurora]

same here, my uni only has computer science, major in AI/ML. and information technology too.

[frail zenith]

That's cheating make them wear gloves

[kind linden]

it's based on vector calculation

[frail zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/emu-kangaroo-quarrel-gif-6159489

[sturdy sequoia]

A red kangaroo can deliver an incredibly powerful kick, generating approximately 759 to 850 pounds of force

[timid prism]

I dont know whats the major concept. But we have compulsory electives to decide what we want to do. From that i will most probably choose the deep learning and stuff. So cyber is gonna be more like a side hobby than a main thing. :( but can always try for cyber too

[languid aurora]

yeah, I guess cuz comp sci is general. you may shift to different tech roles but still have a relevant degree.

[kind linden]

LOl. i know it looks terrible, it uses vector calculations / simulation bruteforcing to understand enemy bots position, & chooses the fastest way to win the race.

[frail stag]

Fighting kangaroos is illegal, unless absolutely necessary to protect urself, aim to punch the head

[balmy solar]

Hi

[timid prism]

Other than it beint a "general field can go anywhere" as i kinda don't like doing the sde or dev phases of cs a lot of those genral fields go lol. What extra would one do? In terms of projects or certs

[languid aurora]

do Australians allow guns? if I remember correctly, they're the same country who banned airsoft guns - so hobbyist use those orbeez guns instead for recreation.

what do you guys use to hunt?

[sturdy sequoia]

yer you need a special license

[frail stag]

If u can keep distance - that’s the best thing - if it’s really moving towards u fast - try ur best not to get kicked as that’s where most of the power is from, ensure to punch the kangaroos head as hard as possible with ur long arms - if ur the same height or taller than the kangaroo - if ur shorter than the kangaroo - then yeah curl into a ball

That’s good then, distance is the best thing

[kind linden]

You from austrailia? i worked in a company named optus it's from australia. & it was my first job

[frail stag]

I live in Canada

I’m more scared of bears than kangaroos

Lmao

That’s good

I wouldn’t even try to fight a bear

lol

I mean I’d want to avoid fighting a kangaroo as well but I feel like I’d have a better chance than a bear lol

Are there bears in Australia?

Damnnnn

I hate bears

lol

Ahhhh yeah

[sturdy sequoia]

great white sharks too

[frail stag]

Then crocs

[kind linden]

As of my OSINT yes (plus 1) ends with 69 right?

[frail stag]

Yea we have those too here

[frail stag]

?

[kind linden]

his phone no. ends with 69 i guess

[languid aurora]

how do you guys like your huntsman spiders?

[sturdy sequoia]

theyre fine. theyre not dangerous at all

theyre just big and hairy

[frail stag]

Fuckkk I thought where I lived didn’t have any crocs, but apparently there are crocs where I live, I just searched it up

[languid aurora]

Kinda creepy. Spiders are so creepy.

[frail stag]

Never mind

I searched up crocs

[sturdy sequoia]

haha they can go so flat

[frail stag]

It was legit asking for croc shoes 🤣🤣🤣

lolll

I got scared for a sec

Then got relieved

🤣🤣🤣🤣

https://tenor.com/view/croc-cat-croccat-croc-happy-croc-meme-gif-17427723592562577962

Yes that’s the crocs it was assuming I was asking for…. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m glad that’s the only ones I’ll find here

lol

It gets pre warm in the summer, but def not as some other places lol
