discount or free

#

it depends on how lucky you are on the wheel spin

Will i atleast get a discount if not the free cert ? Or is that also lucky draw based ?

Hi, is the correct channel to ask about malware analysis and homelab setup?

#

Oh ok. So where can I ask questions about it? Any specific channel in this server or is it against rules?

rigid urchin
#

You would need to be a higher level to get that

lol

rigid urchin
#

yeah because you need to be a higher level

#

yea. then you need to be higher rank

real hazel
#

Oh how can one received a higher rank?

loud marlin

Hi everyone! I hope this is okay to ask here. I’m currently exploring cybersecurity as a possible career path and trying to understand what different roles are actually like day-to-day before fully committing to anything.

My background is a bit mixed — I have a Master’s in UX/UI Design, a degree in Multimedia Engineering, experience in front-end/web design and development, and I currently work in AI annotation. Lately I’ve been seriously considering moving from UX/UI and web design into cybersecurity, but I’m still trying to understand where I might fit best and whether I’d genuinely enjoy the work long term.

At the moment I’m especially curious about areas like:

  • SOC (Security Operations Center)
  • Application Security
  • Threat Intelligence
  • GRC
  • Product Security
  • Human-centered security

I’d really love to hear from people already working in cybersecurity:

  • What does your day-to-day actually look like?
  • How did you realize cybersecurity was the right career path for you?
  • What made you stay in the field long term?
  • Is it actually easy to get into, or is it more difficult than it looks from the outside?
  • Are there things about the industry that people don’t realize until they work in it?

If anyone would be open to sharing their experience, advice, or even having a short chat, I’d genuinely appreciate it a lot.

Thanks in advance!

#

not much can be done with just knowing mac address

rustic jetty
#

Yeah

#

I am serious

loud marlin
#

so you do nothing

rustic jetty
#

I did

#

I only blocked them and closed our DMs

half girder
#

perfect

rustic jetty
#

On meta and discord

#

Dang

half girder
#

@rustic jetty sorry for being too quick with judging ^^

rustic jetty
#

Its ok

#

Its probably the way i worded it

stuck ridge
rustic jetty
#

Yeah

#

Or at least they claimed to

rigid urchin
#

They can't hack your phone

stuck ridge
#

It is so scare😬

#

It is MAC address man

rigid urchin
#

Its really difficult to do so

stuck ridge
#

Tbh, MAC address is literally useless

rigid urchin
#

Yeah great its a mac address it means literally nothing to someone which claims they can hack a phone.

rustic jetty
#

Theyre 13 and the person helping them is probably like around 15

stuck ridge
#

It is only useful for LAN communication

rustic jetty
#

I know

rustic jetty

And they said "theyre gonna find my personal information"

stuck ridge
half girder
#

just report the dm's, they might get banned for threatening you

rustic jetty
#

Idk

#

For "fun" ig

half girder
rustic jetty
#

They just randomly said i kniw ur MAC

stuck ridge
stuck ridge
#

MAC is so hard to find

rustic jetty
#

I already blocked them

#

And closed DMs

stuck ridge
#

Only if they r on the same network as u

rustic jetty
#

I know

stuck ridge
#

They can find ur MAC

rustic jetty
#

Theyre in a COMPLETELY different time zone

rustic jetty
#

Im est they're cst

half girder
#

bottom line its not worth it to spend time on cyberbullies, just report / block and live happily after .. they are happy when you give them attention

stuck ridge
#

Maybe they found ur BSSID and they just think it is ur MAC

web exploitation, burpsuite is some kind of web proxy you can use for "easily" modifying requests

#

there is a free community edition which comes with kali too

but whats hunting ground

half girder

craggy torrent

alright

will they ban for promoting other academies

tropic notch

🤔

#

Can't say I've been banned

half girder

well its not promoting when mentioning free resources, but id get my ass banned when i would be like "oh here is my code, sign on here" lol

i just did eJPT last night, I’m working through PT1 and also a CDCP (it’s like SOC 4-5 Level cert). CDCP will give me 1/3 of a university degree in transfer credits, so once i finish that in next few months I’ll apply to uni with it and then work on a Bachelor in Science in Cybersecurity degree

fervent meteor
#

Niceeeee

blissful current
swift shore
#

After that i want to do the OSCP sometime next spring

fervent meteor
#

imo ejpt and pt1 are a waste of time but something better than nothing

#

so good job

swift shore
#

they are, after i did the EJPT i realized how boring it is

Im doing it so i have some pressure to learn the exploit tools they teach

fervent meteor
#

nice i dont really learn tools other than when i gotta use them

#

sometimes when i work on sensitive machines i have to tho

#

to be very careful i dont brick the bitch

swift shore
#

I made this whole homelab with enterprise switches, firewalls, routers

(Another thing i got sidetracked on this year from February to April)

Spent $3000 buying up good deals, built a server, deployed Proxmox, made a cyber range

#

and I learned more about securing the system

#

So breaking it has been very simple with EJPT and even a lot of PT1 boxes

#

I think i shot myself in the foot going too deep with networking

#

That now I see security holes everywhere kekw

damn niceeee setup

#

Root Privileges: Unlike standard Linux distributions, Kali runs as the root user by default. This bypasses the essential safety barriers that prevent you from accidentally deleting critical system files or executing malicious scripts.Lack of Default Security: Ironically, Kali makes a poor daily driver for privacy because it lacks a built-in firewall and standard anti-malware protections. The operating system is built for offense rather than defense.Fragile Updates: Kali uses a "rolling release" model where system packages update constantly. Because the developers prioritize pentesting tools, routine updates can easily break your desktop environment, audio, or Wi-Fi drivers.Hardware & Battery Issues: The kernel is configured for things like packet injection and wireless card monitoring, which frequently drains laptop batteries faster and causes compatibility issues with everyday hardware.Bloated and Insecure Workflow: It comes pre-loaded with hundreds of loud network scanners and offensive tools that are useless for day-to-day tasks like web browsing, gaming, or office work. Furthermore, routing your personal accounts and daily traffic through a specialized offensive OS is a significant security risk.

for samsung phones you don't have a lot of custom rom options anymore

#

especially since samsung is very hard working on making it so yo9u can't flash custom roms

you can always buy a POCO @slow cloud

and unlock its bootloader and install magisk

you will need to do some settings to hide the root from banking apps tho

eeew rooting smartphones in 2026

#

thats a big security hole

anyways android debug bridge( adb ) can let you do a lot to minimize the privacy problems of smartphones though your security probably won't improve drastically

if you want custom os buy nothing

as privacy is more or less a binary really
as either you are being watched/monitored/survailed or you are not

Hi, I’m working on a machine exposing only FTP (vsFTPd 3.0.5) and SSH. Anonymous login is enabled and there is a world-writable incoming/ directory (777) with a README saying: “Files are processed automatically on arrival”. There are also uploads/ and archive/ directories.

We tested:

  • uploads with multiple formats (.txt, .csv, .py, .php),
  • traversal attempts (../../../),
  • sensitive file discovery,
  • Telnet/STAT/FEAT/SITE enumeration,
  • Nmap/NSE scans,
  • SSH access attempts,
  • monitoring directories before/after uploads.

However, no observable behavior occurs:

  • files are never moved,
  • no logs/output,
  • no visible execution,
  • no additional services detected.

The FTP is chrooted and looks fairly hardened. It feels like there is some hidden sync/pipeline logic, but we cannot trigger or observe anything meaningful. If anyone sees a logical angle we may be missing, I’d appreciate the help.

unless you use very unsafe commands bricking things from cli is rare

#

here is a list of command line tools that can brick things easily
dd
bootloader commands
initcpio commands
technically the passwd command

I’ve fallen in love with it as well, I have it running the home production network as well as the lab network

Switch is like a collapsed core in my network, or rather a hub and spoke

I want to learn how to automate deployments to it next but I don’t have enough gear to make that worth the effort to set up yet

And I don’t want to pay Cisco ridiculous service fees for a contract for just a home network

hi chat

swift shore
#

I made sure to buy everything with future security updates / patches, until 2029-2032+

#

So everything is current gen, in use at enterprise settings coolguy

#

IOS-XE has been pretty fun to work with across all the appliances

#

Sophos CLI is a huge pain though

neat pond
#

so i have been reported but nothing happend

swift shore
#

luckily Sophos has a great web app

#

i identified the person identity who try to do it it is turkish because the API route name is /mammoth

#

what should i do ?

#

he sended this also

#

Can you stop sending threat actor links in general chat

Maybe start there

neat pond
#

i ask dude

#

what your problem

tranquil geyser
#

we would've believed you without having to send it, phishing is very common

hexed rune
swift shore
# neat pond what your problem

The problem is you’re posting links to a gambling site in a Discord for minors

To add fuel to it you’re claiming it’s a site that has been phishing you

What do you think happens when a minor clicks it, and your allegation turns out to be true? You paint more targets. It’s not responsible disclosure.

Since you’ve found an API route that you’ve determined to be Turkish, (whatever value this has is irrelevant), you clearly should understand that there is nothing you can do when you’ve been the victim of a phishing attempt.

How have you even confirmed it to be a phishing attempt and not simply an advertisement where your email or something or other has been provided as part of a list?

You haven’t provided any valuable information to diagnose your phishing allegation, you’ve only provided a link to a site you’ve proclaimed to have been phishing you.

hoooly crap

"yes... let me go into a cybersecurity server and upload a potentially malicious link to everyone because i miiiight be a phishing victim"
add salt to wound its a gambling site

swift shore
# hexed rune Only if i had that kind of money

Had to hustle hard to acquire everything

I paid 10% of MSRP for most things, drove 4.5 hours to grab that switch for example, got the routers on eBay, they came not as described (no operating system or broken flaps) so I had to source the operating systems from other sources and then go through the whole licensing debacle, the Sophos units I had to chase down the seller to relinquish ownership, so I could claim it in the Sophos portal. The workstation I was quick on a listing but it has its issues, dead memory channel, so I can only use 6/8 slots which means I don’t have quad channel memory unfortunately but it still runs at 19 Gbps which is plenty. The deals are out there, just gotta know what you’re buying and be firm when things don’t come as advertised, but also spend the time to learn how to fix them yourself NotLikeThis

Took me 4 weeks to fix that C1109-4PLTE2P because it came in Rommon mode, the seller wiped it “too well” and wiped the OS so it wasn’t in functional condition, they offered a full refund so it was basically free but I had to source an OS myself.
