hey guys, I just noticed there are a ton of free challenges in thm, what is your opinion about them, should I invest my time solving some of them?
burnt out
Speaking from experience?
and most time wasted on studying or project
They look fun
yeah
my friend still use one of these
oh oki
its m first phone after nokia
I mean, for a beginner like me they should be quite useful for learning the basic methodology, correct?
yeah I get what youre feeling, definitely have been going thru a similar thing
probably yeah
give them a try, so you can see if it's worth it or not
i live in 2010
Ooo okay
nokia phones were the shit back in the day
i was 3 yo then
what does that mean?? ๐ค
oh that very old
like the worst of the worst?
noo
goated

LOLLL
that mans said asmr lol
nah lowkey some dude played "double mommy asmr" in class a month back
this is not real
Why are you listening podcasts? ๐ง
omg not u guys direspect the mommy asmr
is Nokia phone useful now days
itover im done withu people
Do they exist?
I bet they do!
I bet you one cookie they aren't extincted
is uni a waste of time
No
i don't know what to think anymore
don't feel like stuyding fucking phisics and shit
although uhm don't go to letter
Fuck uni, become a plumber or carpenter
Ai can't replace you
U set
are you working on that
first year right ?
๐ค
Lol nooo
yeah i guess

i can tell
no i mean
took same stuff
bro not even in yet and complaining
i just hope benjamin just drops the bombs at this point
yeah duh
i hate phisics since 8 grade
the organic chemistry tutor is good watch him
My coworker who got a degree for physics swapped to IT
Where you from?
@weak rampart try medicine
Some places require a degree to get a job
excuse me
i maybe misread that
what did you say
๐ญ
like m-medicine?...
I mean I hope i could get a job without the damn degree
i think i can learn shit by myself
grind a bit of experience and that is it
Hope isn't real
everyone think that until he hit the first wall
trust me if you hack the government you will get a job without degree ๐ญ
jk
why is everyone saying that?
like dude stop teasing it
because it is real
you rather die than studying physics?
yes
dumba55 i didnt have kids yet what ww3 u want to start im still not married yet
It can't be that bad!
me neither
you will live through it
forget marriage
join the army
go to sleep kid
Marry on the next life
thats whats up brother.
nah i want to marry a girl i love
When we were in school, Covid hit, now when we're gonna graduate or uni, ww3 happening
We're Cooked
i hope so
don't think about that
like think happier
๐
u guys are just somekids in their depressing arc or what
it's called
what's it called
not me
ah yes, reality
reality is donald trump teams up with big old benjamin against our boys in iran
and now we all gotta suck a fat one
"I use arch btw" this u
The older I get the more I believe that shit is impossible 
exactly
whys that? ๐ค
the afterlife sounds promising
There's always something that you find out about the other person later on that ruins it
well I mean if ww3 were to start and you end up tragically on the afterworld, you'll be dreaming forever!
red flags?
better than phisics in all cases
i wanna live man
yeah.
who knows
Yup, hidden sides, toxicity, secrets, something is always there.
what's stopping you from doing so?
benjamin
Dw, you'll find a girl you love shiro
No, let's just believe that a perfect partner is possible
noone is complete but both side should respect each other to keep the relation continue
!!
Thankie wizard, I can't wait 
@quasi dome anyway I will follow your advice, I am going to sleep
let's dream of a better world
(and then wake up here again)
goodnight

Good good
we are great except those depressed kids
hmm
we took the red pill
since when was there depressed kids ?
worried about going to ww3
dont worry. i'll save us.
I think those are worried kids, not depressed ones ;-;
tell them , i already know you got our back ๐ช
both are the same for me
im bad with emotions sorry
If you say so
damn which side u gon be on
im going to prevent nukes through peace. Daniel is learning Chinese on Duolingo at the bar right now.
I dont think china is the one whose gonna nuke
Daniel is the body operating this phone.
Orange guy will
im on thejanitor777's side who doesnt want to be on the winner side
gn ppl i have a hard day tmrwo " yeah i know i wrote that wrong "

good old htop
at least btop is even better
does 62c mean my cooling is failinG?
Whats the hotkey for video
oh thats clean looking
press 5 to enable gpu usage
No. not happening. wierd
is this a tool on kali?
not sure on it being there by default but it is certainly in the repos
for nvidia cards you need an additional package
@river ore just deploy it with apt
oh nice
@sand trench Even then it should see my RX 550
what is the name of this
then you probably need the ROCm smi package
really? thats a shame ๐ this is not rocm territory specifically
theres a reason i bouht an nvidia a2! ๐
anyways time to actually call it a night
have a good night
Btop++
yes yes
yeah... it is technically btop++ but the package name is generally just btop
oh the name of the interface is called Btop?
Ya, me just saying
TUI btop?
Whattya know, i had it installed already ,but i guess i just kind of internally default to htop
since this is kind of siilly
I just damn near shat myself, I was doing some CPU heavy stuff and my laptop just turned off, not a shutdown, just slowed down to a crawl and cut out, turned out I nudged the laptop and it stopped charging the other day and went flat on me today during use ๐ญ
That's what I thought
Turns out it just went flat but didn't warn me it wasn't plugged in
Surprised it lasted tbf, I'd had it on since 6pm and as far as I was aware the battery would normally only last 2 hours because it's a gaming laptop, affectionately known as my portable desktop/brick ๐

Been hella productive today crushing overthewire bandit series levels learning cmds
whats a good app on kali for making cheat sheets or showing commands and outputs with pics
use vscode for markdown files ngl
Your making notes on kali

โ๏ธ
Do you know we are born like that
Come out with a top hat and cup of tea
Fr fr
Our first words are โYou wot mateโ
Otw bandit is peak
Ikr people who made it are awesome
guys, i'm 5 beers, 5 seltzers, 5 red bulls, and 2 packs of cigarettes deep with no sleep. lmfao
let's get this money.
lmfao all good. go HAM bro
Burp suites was a fun one
Is that a euphemism
lmfao. yeah, a little.
i got cavities too. +_+
Man I saw the dentist and they said I gotta do like descaling and some new laser thing
No cavities though
Stay safe
you don't
Apparently the laser burns off infected tissue and speeds up healing which is wild
nice. that's cool.
cherrytree seems to work
Yup maybe in a couple years someone will figure out how to regenerate enamel
I use pre configured kali, so nuke, double click, and we back, no download needed what's so ever
Pentest report gonna be fire. ๐ฟ
Speak for yourself, Iโm missing some of mine ๐
The Kali Linux image taking a year to download.
๐
Should be less than 6 gigs for a vm image unless you mean iso
Though in some contexts torrent might be faster
Can a mod please dm me?
Donโt say that, now I gotta check what I downloaded
๐ whereโd you download it from
Dw I only downloaded 3 PUPS with it
Bro is gonna get a first hand taste of โoffensive securityโ 
The best way to learn is to break the system first.

I dunno but they said to stop tagging mods either yesterday or the day before
Show me
I messaged you back about the answer you gave
Have a look back at the question and what itโs asking you
you dont need it - just instala the tools you intend to use and bobs your unc
Well too late ๐ฅด itโs installed
which room? i can see if ive completed it
alr
No worries Iโm working through it with them
Do it, whoโs stopping you
a ton of projects
I do projects alongside studies. Nice to have a switch up.
I think itโs a gun, just a guess though
Really? I thought it was a rock!
Does it go pew pew or boom boom
How do i get the btop to show the RIGHT temperature of teh cpu?
Now, wanna guess what these are?
oooh .. i know the answer.
Those are expensive to use
Piercing guns
Left no, middle not mine. Right
America xd
Iโve seen these at the fun fair to get plushies
I remember when 22's were like 5 bucks for 100 rds and thinking it was getting expensive
The 22? Yah, it's a small round, most likely
About $14 or so now
Left is Ruger 10/22. Middle is my friend's SKS. Right is FN Scar 16s
BEen forever sinc ei gone out to shoot, hardly any place lets us shoot teh fun stuff anymore
Where bouts? US?
@boreal scarab Near pendleton
Lol. california, USA
I donโt know whatโs 22 ๐ I donโt know much about guns
I just know they hurt, thatโs all I need to know
NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE
@urban ravine a 22 doesnt hurt to shoot much unless you shoot yourself with it. Hardly any kick, great quiet guns
FUCK CALIFORNIA. fucking idiots
@boreal scarab Yeah. I concur.
Knowing my luck. ๐
See the 3 rifles? Left is a small .22 rimfire round. Right is a 5.56x45 NATO Round, middle is 7.62x35 (Russian round)
I guess theres finer nuances, like its they have rimfired cartridges .. which makes em a little more of a pain to press
Thats in order of smallest to largest
gosh, more in-group/out-group conflict. great
All i know is I need to get a new lighter trigger
@urban ravine
what they dont have in that pic and im dissapointed is .223
thats my all time favorite plinker
Yah .223 is 5.56... standard
.22 is plinker. .223 is 5.56
Thatโs a lot of different bullets to remember
I see three guns that I didnโt even know were rifles ๐
@urban ravine Thats not even a quarter of what you could potentially shoot .. look up the big boys like .50's when i used to shoot they cost .. $6 each round to fire .. I imagine its more like $15 or $20 now
@molten solar thatโs too expensive, Iโll bring a spud gun instead and a potato
@urban ravine Screw that, im bringing the old surgical rubber wrist braced slingshot
Noice, I havenโt seen a slingshot in years
Wow its actually come down in pice for the 50bmg
Then why does my local counter sell it for over twice the price .. odd
@urban ravine F=MA ... you still get a nice thump from a wrist rocket ๐
I might have to buy one
anyone else had an issue with msfconsole stuck on loading on the attackbox?
i will try that tmrw
ctl s is known to "freeze" the screen in consoles ... (scroll lock) .. ctl q breaks / undoes it
10-22, chinese(?) SKS, SCAR-16S
oh lol
nvm then
10/22 is Ruger is American. SKS is Russian, Scar 16s is Belgian
Maybe? I'll ask my friend, its his. But I know it shoots a russian caliber
Yeah it does, the chinese made a TON of clones of them
that could be russian, the bayonet is not the prong one
just looks less like soviet furniture to me
actually, that's probably russian or a good clone looking at the identification guides
Russian, Tula
yeah
very cool
i dont see many russian ones these days
mostly chinese
It is indeed, that fucker got kickback comp[ared to my Scar
I know, 7.62 vs 5.56, but Scar's barely have a kick
of course, old school action
BCG on the scar is hella heavy
helps a ton
the new SCAR BCG is.... interesting but i like my chunky gen 1
like 5 pounds, add optics, you're looking round 7 lbs
haha should see my 17S
I got the chunky recipricating handle, so I get Gen 1 Gen 1
i think im 10lb unloaded, closer to 15 loaded
Show it!
Shit, I haven't weighed mine, I was guessing lol
Longer barrel too. she is hefty. But she BARELY has a kick either
yeah
i mean, you run some hot load through it it'll rock you, but nothing like a bolt gun with the same load
it was beautiful, Local range had it for rent, rented it. Shot her, love it. Bought my Scar from a friend, and then upgraded her a tiny bit
Oh I've shot 76, 62, 55 through mine, barely notice a difference, I hear a difference with my bolt
Man, I wish I could get green tip, neither indoor or out allow it
Just stuck with FMJ
Actually heading to my out tomorrow, just zeroed in my 10/22 tonight to 50 yards. Shes's ready for some steel
greens are... kinda meh
Summary: American
expect them to group pretty poorly
It's irrelevant really
Oh my CCI for my 22 group tremendously, just had a block, no support besides my shoulder and she was grouping up quite nicely
It's the standard compensation for a shortage in another certain department.
whats the twist rate on the default 16S barrel? 1:7?
Never really dialed in with my 5.56, I just shoot that for fun. My calling is precision. I LOVED zeroing that sight. seeing it all come together
Yah
My sight on 16s is zeroed to 25. 50 zero on 22
@spark sonnet where you is
I run both out of my DDM4v7, 1:7 CHF DD pro barrel
77gr max, but I could only find 76 max near me
77 SMK are around iirc
I gotta check VA
or at least HPBT
PSA sells their own loads with hornandy and SMK in those weights
it's been good enough imo
I stack whatever i want, only restrictions are on ranges with steel or indoors, but fuck that
PSA will NOT ship anything at all here
yo yo
So I'm limited on my choices
Already thinking bout PA
yeah expect M193 to suffer in a 1:7
you need 1:9 at least to push something that light into stable flight
i think people prefer 1:12 for 55gr
Man, if I was shooting for precision on an HWS 512 + G43, I'd be looking crazy into ammo. I just usually rock PMC X Tac 55 gr
ah yeah XTac is ok, just don't expect crazy accuracy out of light ammo @ 1:7
it's not bad
my DDM4 will eat 55gr all day
but its nothing like 77
POI shift is real and groups come way in with the better ammo
Iโve been learning vscode recently
Oh no, she zeroed to 25 Yards, but not CRAZY zeroed, just punching paper around where the sight is. haven't ZEROED ZEROED that in. My Leupold VX-Freedom 2-7x33 Duplex is ZEROED to 50
I preferred the eclipse ide .. but i have to admit this interface is growing on me
@polar spoke
battle zero?
Battle Zero. If she punching paper there boughts, totally fine
Have not shot my Mav 88 yet
Hm i wonder what happened
yeah, i've played with a few battle zeros, need to refresh mine a bit and maybe shift it
@warped blade I mean Eclipse is an IDE isn't it?
oof
err. was
you classify VSC as a full dE?
5.4 seemed okay but i prefer 5.3 rn anyways
50-200 is nice, but i want to try 36/300 to push out a bit
i mean VSDS maybe .. but VSC?
what were you trying to do ?
Man you're like Toast he swears by the 36 lol. If I was pushing 300, I'd prob pick up a dif 22. This 22 is for 50 steel, 100 paper
nothing i went to sleep and woke up to get back to working on stuff and 5.4 is just fully unresponsive atm
Vscode != VSDS .. but its not bad for free
oh yeah for 22 it's whatever
I can go 200,300 if I zeroed to 100
but i run my DDM4 as an all purpose
But, light round.... 18" barrel, not HV, 1235 FPS, you're not getting it to 300
@warped blade Microsoft Visual Development Studio liek their full suite
yeah definitely not
whattt its your favorite wdym
only reason you see cmake there is because im compiling someone elses open source software that was heavily made using cmake and i need it
I was looking at PRS. And the 10/22 is great to get me to learn MOA. I love it. I bought the sight today. Put her on, watched a youtube vid to zero using MOA at 1/4 MOA. Tried to find a free download GOOD paper target that's 50 Yard Zero MOA at 1/4. Couldn't find it, so I had Claude make one one
same. ๐ญ its cursed. i actually spent a little over 2 1/2 hours fixing it all and getting the depenencies to stop fighting me and now its all solid
more ppl beed to start doing that.
LOL claude zero
Before today, have not looked much into MOA sights. I do have PRS books I'm going to read
Exactly!!!
did you mean everything here?
nice
I KNOW...... but ngl, it was great to get me up a target fast before I go to my outdoor tomorrow. Got sight today, learned MOA, got target, she zeroed to 50 lol
hey Vigor good sir
No, meant everything there
Yo, what's good Astro?
Don't ask me what mine is, all I know it's holo XD
not much just chillin
when i got my ar and went to shoot it and didnt know how to zero the sight so i just shot 50 rnds into no mans land
lol no adjustment there, probably just MOA
DDM4
So awhile ago someone paid me to draft a security standard. I told them give me 3 days to get it to you. I'll give it before EOD. I got it to them well early. They've been looking at it since i submitted it. And keep mentioning they are reviewing it and will get back to me with questions. But never follow through. Wonder if i messed this doc up somehow
Well, HWS 512, she's got dials, so she can hold a zero, I THINK MRAD. 1 sec
same here. been busy at work lately. more busy to do .. i reformated 7500 interface descriptions
good lord!
BTOP be like
yeah I have a EoTech 512 on my rattler
that's just my storage server lol
@polar spoke How did you get that view
You're right, it's MOA. 0.5 MOA per click
prob something like htop or btop alternative
or conky
its HTOP
AHHH
i should have said that
no kidding, but your htop is configured diff.
Does that say 1.15TB RAM ?
yeah, 1.5TB total
We showing off our tops?
sec, you wanna see some uptime lmao
yeah but its using 1.15 TB .. How?
ARC cache
Oh damn i just rebooted my storage server and high density rack, it had 270 days ๐
I just decommed a switch with 9yrs uptime lol
i restart my server every 2 weeks ๐ญ
oh its zfs settings
its good practice to atleast try to remember to
esp after important kernel swaps
Granted, you can do hot boots for most of them wher eyou just basically reload from init on down. but .... nothing beats the sanctity of knowing yoru systems coming back up when you need it to
thats why i do so
why?????
@boreal scarab Those are fake temps.
The only legit reason to reboot linux is to update the kernel
@boreal scarab Use lm_sensors/sensors cmd mine reads like 60-70C an when i checked the actual values i got
.. CPU Temperature: +36.0ยฐC
CPU Socket Temperature: +36.0ยฐC
Motherboard Temperature: +27.0ยฐC
heheheheheheheheheheheheheheheh BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT
36 TB server
I like to for my own peace of mind. i dont wanna accumulate any fragmentation or memory leaks or stale connections etc, plus i wanna do things like container img updates and security patches often and not be vulnerable to cves
i just wanna make sure everything is wired up the way it needs to be always
On vscode?
That's windows though.. linux doesn't have those issues
thats just wrong?
@urban ravine My only critical complaint about VSC is the fact it takes about 7 hrs to compile
Well in the 28 years I've been using linux, I have found that to be the case from my personal experience.
Mine runs quite nice but my code was short tbf
Your mileage may very well vary.
the OS has nothing to do with memory leaks firstly. stale connections are completely OS agnostitc, container img drift is MORE of a linux concern than a windows concern and linux handles fragmentation differently than windows and presumably better but its not immune. saying thats a windows thing is just incorrect
But I've never experienced a performance increase from rebooting a linux server unless there were runaway processes or something malicious happening.
@urban ravine Not my code. I mean to compile vscode requires electron which requires a long friggin bui.d, l like 47k dependancies
Does anyone here use KQL or SPL and is really good with it?




@warped blade I'm installing vscode on nixos ๐ electron is a dependancy
Well it may be the case that linux has fragmentation, but when i said linux doesn't have those problems, I was referrring to me not having experienced those problems myself.
Bleh indeed. But under linux i can get nested vm's working for things like android dev. Windwos will not let me do that on my TR4
i just like to stay ahead of the threshold and avoid any container drift and verify my stuff recovers nicely. you dont wanna deal with config drift either
containerized homelab stacks arent as simple as a bare metal experience
@dark wolf Sometimes .. just somteimes, its the onyl way to release a broken flock
That may be, but in reality, the fix is just unkown and there are times when you must reboot to fix an issue and get services up and running. However, knowing what caused it and how to fix is is more valuable in helping prevent it all toegether.
I mean yes thats pretty much the natural checkpoint that aligns with the patch cadence, and unpatched containers are a real risk surface so that restart forces you to pull updates imgs
guys i got a thinkpad
You may as well just reboot every night
do you like it ?
well then those 0-day through 30-day bugs will affect you. if you do it every night only 0 day bugs affect you
not if you are load balanced
how's that for uptime
hell yeah
What OS is that?
this is crazy
Donโt mind me, Iโm half asleep
That's what I'm talkin about bro!!!
i was looking at that one
took a sec to even get back on that box lmao
buy p50 or p51
bet
you running linux on it ?
Iโm an experienced hacker with full knowledge about hacking,I offer professional hacking services and help including social media, email, game hacks, device cloning, and spying.
on a vm
Hii
and running smooth?
yeah
I am beginner
In hacking filed
Will you help me
I run arch on my dishwasher
play tryhackme boot2root challenges
What is this
it simulates real hacking
Yeah, it's a lot of fun
How i can do it
You're the explainist
Any link?
Ok byee i am going to school
See you soon
ok
where did the clanker go ?
which one? sorry i just got here
Hello
lol the one who said he was a professional hacker who offers service lolol
Could anyone help me get into my Xbox account it got completely hacked from the top down and they enabled two factor so Microsoft said they couldnโt even help me Iโd be willing to pay or anything
Iโm desperate
we dont offer services l
oh, one of them...
no. if microsoft cant help, we definitely cant
I just thought itโd be worth a shot itโs like over 10 years old Iโd do anything for it
Thanks though
good luck (and i dont mean this sarcastically)
Hi can I join the conversation?
of course. no need to ask
It is far beyond my comprehension or understanding; that there are those who would presume a discord server containing the word "hack" would be an open invitation to perform such duties for compensation.
and it happens soooooo often.
all the time
thx
Gave +1 Rep to @sturdy sequoia (current: #53 - 219)
What is the story behind the Mask Khan?
are you new to cyber security?
Yes, I am new to cyber security. More interested in the Cyber Security Feild. I want tp learn it with my own ability But I have some queries in my mind.
maybe they like blue eyeshadow
thoughts on Mint Linux ?
My favourite one but Im running kali rn
sorry
sorry what
for thinking a lot ,,,,,,
i was waiting for a question ๐
I am confusion
oh i hate when that happens
you know whats shit about returning to school as a 40 year old? having to do a team assignment with a bunch of 20 year olds
oh i know!
I once went to uni and I had a bad experience in a group assignment
I've not worked in a group since
Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield
hahhahaaha
i dont get no respect
haha
I would hate to go back to school
It's definitely an experience
I thought openai shafted me but it turns out everyone is having issues with 5.4 and 5.3 rn, seems they are revoking access from everyone
They should change their name to EvilCorp
what you up to?
It is wiser for me to speak less and listen more, gaining deeper insight from your words.
Yer no worries. Feel free to ask any questions you do have
rthx
so For how many years you are in cyber security
Hacking as a hobby for over 25 years, self taught, no formal education. I have 20ish years of professional experience in various IT areas. So now I'm back to school hoping to turn my hobby into my career
That's a long time to be hacking
everything changes and everything stays the same
๐ it means you are some 40+
correct. early 40s
which are do you specialise in?
id say network related security. wth a current focus on wifi
It means I am a new born child in this feild.
youre not alone. there are lots of teenagers here too
that's cool I was looking into wifi hacking today. I was a blue teamer for a while but I'm moving over now
oh nice. wait a few months and ill send you a comprehensive guide to wifi hacking
how about me i'm 16 year old
I am same age
@polar spoke If ya going to DC. I'll be at DCShoot, I'll bring my 16s. I have a couple other friends bringing their stuff
age doest matter, at least to me. as long as you act mature its all good

I might, don't know yet
a troll is a troll no matter the age ๐

This dude is complaining about trolls and they pushing 40.
My friend group usually goes to Texas De Brazil on the Friday if ya interested. if that will entice you more lol
Okay pal
you are making a guide?
Donโt you have kids to take care of?

i am. just waiting for a raspberry pi to arrive so i can move on to testing
lol
Oh waitโฆ..
@sturdy sequoia What's the element you msis the most about 1990's style computer security? or do you mean 200's
I'll being annoying @hasty sand again about the dinner but then be told he got caught up at the airport 
๐ Can I get guidence from you?
Nice looking forward to it
yer early 00's mostly. not sure i really miss anything. everything was less secure but it was harder to come by information. now you can find anything you want and talk to thousands of people all at once. there was a lot more trial and error and you had to know a lot more of the fundamentals. so yer, pros and cons
about what?
Donโt take advice from this clown.
Trust me kid
Youโll be way better off learning this stuff on your own.
From your experince....
i mean thats a big answer. im happy to answer any specific questions if i can
what is that?
thanks

@sturdy sequoia INteresting. Coming from the era's of gopher. I feel that the information was there, it just wasn't indexed and 30 seconds away
lmao
yer you had to go looking for it. groups like 2600 were around long before me, so talking with other hackers was almost vital


Some shit just cringeworthy it ainโt even gotta be deep I guess.
i dont accept dm/fr. we can talk here
OK No issue.....
also, if you ask your questions here then you might get lots of responses
Is it allowed to ask a persnal question like "Where you belong to?" just for see how this platform works?
You can ask, but people might not answer. I'm from Australia
Iโm from America, born and raised

Mom was German, Dad was from Kansas
imagine if red bull hosted a ctf
Though opportunities in my country are scarce and entering this field is difficult, I remain committed to pursuing it.
OK
Yer go for it. You have plenty of time until you need to figure out your life. So do what you enjoy.
Thanks for appreciation.

Are you in company or earn online......
im currently an unemployed student
but all my previous jobs have been on site working for a company
long story short, im doing a low level course so the government will pay for me to do a cyber security course
cert 3 in info tech
yer its easy
hey guys
yer. even the stuff i havent done before im breezing through
real
How is your guy's day today?
the course is meant for 17 year olds fresh out of high school.
yer pretty average. nothing special, no complaints
hello
That's good.
hbu?
Exam at 11
What one?
Wow. vesktop has a crash bug hiding in it recently ... but discordcanary seems to work okay
good luck
I am good thanks for asking.
Gave +1 Rep to @sturdy sequoia (current: #53 - 222)
Goodluck man!
Exams come and go but 0ad should be played
What is your favorite course on THM?
I am from Pakistan, and I hope you are aware of the challenges here. Could you share your opinion on where I should start, what opportunities might be available for me, and what the most important first steps are to gain benefits quickly?
I think the ad modules. Last time i did thm was 4 yrs sorry dont remember more ๐ . Gonna restart again after done with exams tho
to be honest im not the one to ask for that.
Dang I just remade an account to start doing all courses again finished hashcat2 again pretty fun
Doing shodan rn and gonna do SQL after.
Just need premium to do way more
Sql was the end of me 
didn't shodan monetize?
lel its pretty fun I should hopefuly remember some of this course.
Sorry, just for your detail that you can give me a good path
haha this makes me think youre older than you are ๐
the MSSQL certified course was the bane of my existance ...
err ms exchange server5.5
not really. i dont want to give bad advice. i was a beginner over 20 years ago and i just dont really know whats out there now
@sturdy sequoia An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less ...
ok
my path is guided by what im interested in without the goal of getting a job. this leads me to do deep dives into topics, which isnt great for job prospects
Shyft how old are you may I ask?
early 40s
Wow, So you must know a lot What have you been learning really?
short recap. hobbyist hacker for over 25 years, various professional IT jobs for 20 years. now im at school working towards turning the hobby into the career
That is cool asf Id say just keep going and you will get there.
thanks ๐

Welcome!
so yer atm my time is split between really easy school work, and doing a deep dive into wifi security
Real, I've been doing networking nd homelabing a lot recently.
Where would you say to start learning wifisec?
in about 6 months with the guide im writing ๐
but seriously, depends on how much networking you know. learning how traffic is routed and being able to roughly understand packet sniffing, would be a good place to start.
or if you wanna skip the learning, then just learn aircrack or wifite
I need to see that guide I love reading e books and physical ones I have been learning networking for like 2 ish years +
Used aircrack a few times to mess around but thats it
Which external adapter are you using? (Just asking out of curiosity)
using airodump is good early on, especially while testing
I am looking for a budget friendly adapter for practicing wifi pentesting
sorry, i dont accept dm/fr
i also have to be careful what i say in this channel because i think wifi hacking counts as an "advanced" topic
Ah
depends on how budget friendly youre looking for, i really like my panda pau0d. id say its mid range
@coarse hedge new or old netsworks?
@zap RTL8812AU USB 3.0 WLAN Adapter always treated me right .. but a lil long in the tooth
Realtek RTL8812AU or Atheros AR9271
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0761L7TV6 Not that that will help you
I got that for $20.99 usd back in ... my goodness. 2019
Sittin here on my desk right now ๐ Very useful adapter
๐ Oh yea
this one I have used budget friendly
Atheros AR9271
only $14 usd
with tax
is that vers dual band?
yer i bought one of them recently but havent tested it yet
yes

I see a AX1800 but all the 9271s i can see have a single antenna
Amazon has the AR9271
I have a radioshack trs-802.11b!!!! I get 11000000 bits a SECOND yo!! ๐ช๐ป
Dang man 
I know right??
I cannot even reach that level
Man thats a million times faster than i can wave my hands so you win
Reminds me of my old linksys i had that was like one of those .. it had an external blue shell .. and i remember frying it at the second most incovnenient time i could think of
i still have my old pcmcia dual antenna wifi card
dude i have one of those .. but no antenna's anymore
my cantenna is rusted
Is there any other alternative of pfsense /netgate so that ISP can't track
For what though ... I dont understand what you are trying to obfuscate/hide
You are essentially asking "Is there any kind of door I can use that my landlord can't see who is walking to my apartment"
Yes , with the help of netgate and pfsense we can do that but it's quite expensive, that's why I'm asking for alternative way
But for that need to buy netgate sg-1100 and that's quite expensive
Isn't that a firewall or ids/ips system?
Netgate is a hardware appliance that RUNS pfsense. You can put pfsense on your toaster, if it has the right hardware
How does that stop the ISP seeing your traffic?
Well at that point you could do a ptp tunnel to a host you run outside and tunnel traffic back through tha ttunnel
Is it like raspberry pi?
But that doesn't solve the problem that your landlord stilll sees someone going in and out at odd hours
@kind yoke A cheap netgate sure. But go intel, you will thank me later

Work backwards. What are you connecting through this magic "hide my activity" tunnel
Game server? Web server? Secret Media archive?
and why so paranoid about hte landlord
Same
Yer and just means you don't trust your ISP but do trust the vpn provider
ew not nord
So after the router it will be connected with netgate sg-1100
Which is why i have a crazy protocol for building a hardened bastard of a remote node for deplyoing in hostile territory ๐
it starts with luks encryption for the vm's that do things ... and no luks keys on the host ... It ends with ufw preroutes that make traffic pass "through" the host like it doesnt evn exist . If you ttry to get in from outside you will be dissapointed, and if you hit the reset button to recover you will be really dissapointed
@warped blade Wheres that?
You realize by the time they've traced to nord, you probably have some sort of secondary issue (for example they compromised the host you were accessing with teh vpn to begin wtih)
Vpn is different thing and the thing I'm talking about it's different. Also it's legal.
Do you have an exapmle use case for us, or are you deliberately beating around the bush
yer if you explain your goals more clearly we might be able to give better advice
It does sound shady
If you hold your cards close to the vest .. it's only human nature for us to reciprocate in kind
shady shady
Gorls
Pretty shady
kinda shady tbh why do you need to hide from your isp?
maybe he's paranoid
Would not blame him but it is very random in a ethical hacking server
dont blame him tbh considering all of the spyware thats out there
indeed
We are on spy ware rn
๐คทโโ๏ธ fr
I mean you're on a network that's known to communicate iwth palantir no?
To be anonymous and for privacy. Don't want to share my stuff like location and whatever I'm exploring. Many of the organization also doing same.
why do you 2 have the same profile pic
Use mullvad
i mean a vpn will help
He is a copy cat
lies
Not just A vpn would help
cause idk ๐คทโโ๏ธ
i know but i mean in general a vpn would be helpful
indeed
@kind yoke .... At a top level, think of my landlord analogy. They still have the binoculars, and cant ell how many people are going to your door. THey can still tell if you are carrying a box, or bag UNLESS you take steps to protect that. Then also tell WHERE those people entering your apartment came from, and where they go after they come to your place.
@kind yoke Additionally, they can generally tell when you want to go to Franks House, or Amir's based on the fact that you asked "Wheres Amir live" or "Wheres Frank live"
peak analogy
If you want to protect your actvitiy. then you have to make sure that EVERY time you leave your house you only to go to one or two specific places. and then after going there and effectively "changing your outfit' go to where you want to go
So what happened when you use a vpn , still your isp can know what you are doing? And when you are outside then you want to use same network, is it possible with that?
new project idea: create a fake search spammer to hide my nefarious actions
Most importantly. When you pick a place to go to, you have to make sure they're going to tell the nosy naysayers to .. piss off?
Does anyone use KQL or Splunk SPL?
otherwise the ISP wont know where to send the traffic
