Implementing standard deviation into a dataset - i have no problem doing it in python, I just can’t seem to understand what the hell to do in dart

https://github.com/hydrophobis/Coding/blob/main/c/fib.cpp

Would you guys consider these methods to be cheating? (computing fib numbers in 1 second). For one I’m forcing the CPU into boost mode and two I am technically just searching for a number that could be found in one second using the exact same algorithm since it just binary searches for it but idk what do you guys think?

[regal anchor]

context?

cheating on what?

[nocturne wadi]

calculating as many fibonacci numbers as possible in 1 second

[nocturne wadi]

my point is would you guys count that as 1 second despite the fact that it’s technically more than one second of runtime?

[quaint grotto]

Anyone need help in programming concepts, can DM me.

[regal anchor]

aight I had a quick look over the code; I guess the question is: what exactly are the rules? is this for some competition with defined rules? also what do you mean by binary search in this context?

[winter patio]

Got it figured out 2 mins after sending this message lol

[upbeat frost]

Which concepts ?

[quaint grotto]

Anything that you're struggling with.

In case you're trying to break into programming.

[green furnace]

Why does it feel like I am sensing math here an I going to be using math to Code?

[regal anchor]

well you are not planning on writing optimized fibonacci code, are you?

oh wait that was a different thing

thats statistics stuff

[green furnace]

Bro I don't know anything about Fibonacci, I just want to learn Cyber security so I can do ethical hacking and have sound knowledge to develop website and minor apps but majorly my aim is ethical hacking

As a Job though that why I am learning. So I can get paid and help my life

[regal anchor]

yeah u dont need to write optimized fib for cyber

[green furnace]

Thank God!

So python can still be used for optimized fib too?

And what is optimized fib

?

[regal anchor]

unlikely

python is not a language you would use for max speed

[magic falcon]

Understanding the math and how to build a repeatable process is essential to good cybersecurity practices. Implementing simple algorithms, like a fibonacci generator, is a good first step to understanding how development works and why programming is a key part of a sane software development practice.

This is deep not going to lie

Am looking to learn Python and was checking out a few resources. FreeCodeCamp recently added an updated Python course to their FullStackDev path. Also compared it to Harvard’s CS50Python and University of Helsinki’s Intro to Programming with Python and I’ve gotta say Helsinki came out on top.

Anyone else have experience with these resources? What’s worked best for you?

[turbid stag]

I am learning 2 languages: first Python and second Bash, so please guide me how to start easily

[alpine wave]

If you are new to programming then I'd suggest, you learn the programming concepts first with python. Other languages will have mostly the same concepts but different syntax.

[buoyant vault]

while learning python should i directly learn to code or first base functions

[midnight shard]

Yeah I wish someone explained this to me when I first took an interest. I probably would have started learning python sooner.

[vast anchor]

Pls if I want to focus on web3 security which programming language should I use

[hidden hull]

Spyder

j/k idk 🙂

[green furnace]

Pls should I just learn python first or I need to learn html and css with java before python

[hidden hull]

They are different things, you can learn them in either order

Personally, I learned Java before I learned Python. It worked out well for me because Java is much more rigid and statically typed than Python that it helped me understand certain concepts better. Also, moving from Java to Python has a sense of freedom. Also also, learning Java helped me get by in C and C++ and Kotlin

[lilac holly]

Python is for absolute beginners same html and css Java is more Challenger different syntax

[primal dirge]

[sullen holly]

hi guys
anyone know about how to do penetration testing for web application

[languid topaz]

It totally depend on your end goal. Since we are on a cybersecurity community, i will tailor my answer with that in mind.

If we are strictly talking about sysadmin/cybersecurity in general, python, ruby and go are quite popular ;

• Python has a very huge amount of library and tool that can be used in cybersecurity.
• There are many tool written in Ruby, where if you want to write plugin, you may need to use Ruby. For example, metasploit, but also many Infrastructure as code tool like Vagrant, puppet, chef...
• Go has more and more usecase, many big library, especially to spin up / write quick fast dirty server software (For example, if you need to make a quick http server). IF I remember well, there was even a clone of cyberchef made in go

If we are talking about low level stuff, for example malware analysis/crack me CTF / binary exploitation, of course C/C++/Assembly/Rust are important to get familiar with, but even there, Go/Zig/Nim/Crystal are becoming somewhat important as malware writter also start using those more exotic compiled language.

Java is more like a jack of all trade / good at none. Its not bad, but won't be the tool of choice for most of cybersecurity. You can definitely use Java to code some small utility, but there won't be as much library for it for cybersecurity related task as Python/Ruby/Go, and it won't help malware analysis/binary exploitation. But at the end of the day, as long as you learn one of the mainstream language, and get your feet wet, learning other language won't be too hard.

HTML/CSS are not really programming language, but more describing language to describe how thing look like/are structured. If you want to focus more on Web stuff, you should focus on (Backend : Go, Python, Javascript, Ruby), Frontend ( Javascript, Typescript, HTML, CSS), Database (MySQL/PostreSQL config, SQL language)

People are sometimes mean to those who don't act like them, and say mean things whenever they can to discourage them, because even without realizing it, they are afraid that they will somehow be more successful than them.
The bad part is that there will always be people like that, whether in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood. Letting words from people who don't care about you or don't know you control your life will make your life miserable.

I primarily code in python....but have used c/c++ at times

[worn knoll]

Yes well i had never thought of how to do this but i cant seem to do it for a class i have to make where in a 2d array we can use like [][] to get a element of that nested array right anyhow i havent been able to see how its implemented since when you make the operator[] in the class it only allows for one param, maybe overload the operator idk

[worn knoll]

maybe if you know

[severe herald]

#include <vector>

class Array2D {
private:
    std::vector<std::vector<int>> data;

public:
    Array2D(size_t rows, size_t cols) : data(rows, std::vector<int>(cols)) {}

    // Proxy type representing a single row
    class Row {
    private:
        std::vector<int>& rowRef;
    public:
        Row(std::vector<int>& r) : rowRef(r) {}

        int& operator[](size_t col) {
            return rowRef[col];
        }
    };

    // operator[] returns a Row object
    Row operator[](size_t row) {
        return Row(data[row]);
    }
};

Not as simple as it is with python, I made gpt get the answer

If you had to deal with Android Studio, how would you do it? Better yet, if you had to create an Android app from the ground up, how would you do it? what language would you use? Python? I'm tempted to scrap what I have and use Python

[next hatch]

isn't Kotlin THE language for Android Apps, unless you go for C/C++?

[magic falcon]

Java is the intended language for the Android Studio. The language itself is relatively simple. There are other options if you prefer a totally different environment, like some the app IDEs that are basically a webview that renders your app inside a sandboxed browser. That's a good method if you want to develop an app that will run on many platforms, but honestly, the simplest thing is to just learn Java first, then work your way into Android app dev.

If you are just learning how to program, Android is a huge leap to get into from zero background.

Either way, get comfortable with Java first, and then you'll have a stronger foundation to understand all the complexities of the Android environment.

Yes it is! My understanding of kotlin is the folks who made it stripped out all the good stuff and repackaged it so... oracle? I think it's oracle? Can't sue them into the ground

[nocturne wadi]

make operator [] return the corresponding array which can then be indexed since it should be a C++ array

[eager yacht]

Kotlin was essentially created, developed, and adopted by Google/Android in response to Oracle's control over Java.

Here's a decent resource on learning Kotlin and Android Studio. I took this class a couple years ago and it was one of my favorite in my CS degree. The professor posts all his notes online and they are publicly available. He also lists a healthy amount of reading links to support the notes. They're on the right side of the page in the "Course Topics" section.

You are not expected to do or know how to do all of these things. There are many ways you can work with me and contribute. Only qualification I ask for is familiarity with code, and a learning mindset, or a collaborative mindset if you don't need so much hand holding.

[tender hinge]

I'm interested

[frank blaze]

Sent a dm

[bitter fern]

I'm interested

Is it fraud if I know the basics of "this function will get that result" and kind of know how to implement said function but still need to do a lot of research?

Because I have an app I'm trying to build and I'm familiar enough with the language to know what I need for broad strokes, and even how to implement it, but the specifics are dragging their feet and I feel like a fraud.

Also, if I wanted to build a custom calendar app, using a library would require permission and credit, right?

[nocturne wadi]

Research is an integral part of programming, no matter how much is needed

[nocturne wadi]

Depends on how the library is licensed and how they want attribution

[bitter fern]

Thank you for your answers! This helps a lot

[nocturne wadi]

of course

[frank blaze]

I mean it's not like you have to advertise it but if someone asked "oh howd you do this" it's fine to just say "oh I used this library to yadda yadda"

Real world example, I'm reverse engineering a game client from an MMO to make my own game server for it. The client uses cryptography to encrypt packets before sending them and decrypts packets before receiving them. They use a modified blowfish cipher for this. I could implement this myself, sure. Or I can not reinvent the wheel and just use bouncycastle a .net cryptography library that has several different ciphers and cryptography tools to make working with this easier.

No problem there, I'm not building a cryptography tool so it's not "cheating"

If you're building a bouncycastle copy and it's literally just using bouncy castle than yea that's cheating lol

[bitter fern]

Thanks pal

I'm building a full-featured calendar that's not tied to a flippin Google account but with features that will make my adhd easier to deal with.
‎‏
‎
So if I come across something useful for a calendar, I'll likely have to credit it.
‎‏
‎
Because there are absolutely calendar libraries out there but it feels weird to say "I used this calendar library and added to it for my app, here's the credit"

[nocturne wadi]

what kind of library do you need for a calendar? I imagine it wouldnt be terribly hard to do yourself

[bitter fern]

There are existing libraries that stand alone as their own calendars, presumably for their author's projects.

Because Android offers a calendarview and all the pieces to make a calendar, but you do in fact have to putted together yourself. Which is what I'm going to do. I want my calendar to be something people don't have to log into,if they don't want to, for starters.

"I imagine it would be hard to do it yourself"

I know how to get the dates into a for loop to display. I know what the grid needs to look like. I know, technically, how to make the grid. I do not know how to get the for-loop-dates onto the grid, in a way that resembles a calendar. Presumably through use of another for loop and spacing involving modulos.

Wanna try it in Android Studio and see if we can compare notes?

[nocturne wadi]

There seems to be a misunderstanding. I meant that it wouldnt be hard. However, I do not know how to use Android Studio nor do i intend on learning lol

Anyway if you want a little help with the loops I can probably give you the general idea

[bitter fern]

Fair enough

[bitter fern]

Please? Modules are Not Working right now for some reason.

hey guys i want to know how to link a data base sql with a website using a server or api the website front end is ready and the database is ready but the only problem is the backend and the linking process between both

[hollow sorrel]

I am assuming by frontend, you mean the UI to which the user interacts with and if that is the case, you’ll be needing a backend layer between that and your database. I’m not a dev so others can chime in but usually, you’d implement an abstraction layer using an ORM to translate your DB schema and other stuff into “code”.

Then you’ll be needing to expose relevant API endpoints, set up proper authentication and authorization (assuming this is some project that requires AuthZ and AuthN).

does anyone know if its legal to hack the password to my account useing the tool "hydra"

No

If the account is new, you can make another one if there is nothing much you’ll lose

[lilac holly]

theres nothing in the account

I'd say to use GPT to help you achieving that. You can get the script you want, tweak it, and then ask GPT to explain the idea of each line.

Ah i got it. I had to connect in the Machine itself

I thought i have to use it on my own PC. But wouldtn it be possible to use rdp on my local pc to connect to the Machine on THM?

Well doesnt seem like the password provided does not work

Ah thank you. It worked. But is it possible to use my local pc to connect on the provided machine?

As windwos user you have a software called remote desktop connection
This makes it possible to use a IP to remotetely connect to another PC viewing its Screen
Im currently in cyber security 101 (winadbasics) room

I didnt see the use of using this Software to connect to the very same PC just to performa a login on another user on this PC.
Therefore i thought i have to use my local PC to connect to this instance, which ofc doesnt work since I'm not part of the network my provided machine is in

Hey, my background is in Information Systems with a focus in networking, but I have always had an itch for programming since high school, where I attempted to make my first game. What is a good way to break into that side of tech so I can bridge the two?

I'm kind of in a weird spot. Should I go back to school to get a CS degree, or should I just go down the network security route, which isn't bad, but that programming itch just keeps getting louder and louder. I'm in process of strengthening my python and c++ knowledge, while I continue to home lab and work towards networking and security certs.

[hollow folio]

guys can someone tell me is it harmful mistake?

public TransactionMessage(byte[] data) throws Exception {
  super(data);
  this.transactionCapsule = new TransactionCapsule(getCodedInputStream(data));
  this.type = MessageTypes.TRX.asByte();
  if (Message.isFilter()) {
    compareBytes(data, transactionCapsule.getInstance().toByteArray());
    transactionCapsule
        .validContractProto(transactionCapsule.getInstance().getRawData().getContract(0));
  }
}

i will explain why i have sus on this code

[lilac holly]

its mainly just quite poor implementation, nothing obviously exploitable with this code alone

[hollow folio]

it is not serious for normal industry

[hollow folio]

but it is serious for blockchain industry

why becuase

The blockchain accepts a transaction message that contains a value of 0 without checking if it is valid. Later, the system tries to use this value in calculations or state updates, and using 0 can cause errors or invalid behavior. When this happens during block processing, the node can throw an error and stop running, which may crash the blockchain node.

[lilac holly]

far more serious, in a blockchain context the sloppy validation can easily escalate into node crashes

[hollow folio]

Thats what i am saying

[lilac holly]

yeah, either way though the code itself is quite sloppy, wouldn't want to see it in any prod environment

[hollow folio]

@lilac holly

i have one other code can you explain can it read or write memory?

[lilac holly]

sure, I can have a quick look

[hollow folio]

if ((vectors[idx].in_use) && (result == PSA_SUCCESS)) {
    for (int i = 0; i < vectors[idx].out_len; i++) {
        vectors[idx].original_out_vec[i].len =
            vectors[idx].out_vec[i].len;
    }
}

[lilac holly]

it writes to memory but only within the defined buffers
safety depends on whether the bounds (idx, out_len) are guaranteed elsewhere

Guys, I was wondering which all languages you would suggest in this domain, i.e, cybersecurity in general. ( except Python and bash) and pls also mention where that particular language will come in handy.

[gray ravine]

JS and SQL are pretty handy when it comes to Web exploiting

If you think more about network pentesting then having some background in Powershell will also be useful

And if you wish to go more low-level to ex. malware analysis or development you should most definitely learn C/C++/Rust

Guys I am in my final year of Computer Engineering.I’m wondering what project I should do for my last year. Sometimes I think about making a full malware analysis tool, but the dots aren’t connected in my head yet.

[minor spindle]

My Best Suggestion, u Should Try That Project For Ur Last Year Project - Malware Behavior Analysis

[digital lynx]

Building a full malware analysis tool is very difficult. When people hear "full", they usually think of an end2end system that does everything.

this may not be realistic for a final year project and can cause confusion

therefore it makes more sense to develop a well defined (core) malware analysis tool that performs basic analysis tasks

hey guys. i’ve been learning python both in school and in my personal time. i study computer science for cybersecurity at school.

Problem is i’ve learned the basics of python like variables if else, for loops and just the overall basics of it. but now i don’t know which one to go to next. if anyone could provide like a learning chart for python i’d appreciate it because every youtube i watch points at a different direction

[minor spindle]

After basics (variables, if/else, loops), the best next path is:

-> Core Python
Lists, dicts, sets
Functions & file handling
Try/except (errors)

-> Intermediate Python
OOP (classes & objects)
Modules & pip
List/dict comprehensions

-> Python for Cybersecurity
os, sys, subprocess
requests, socket, re
Hashing (hashlib)

-> Practice with small projects
Password checker
Port scanner
File hash checker

Great list kudos

Yo can anyone help me find a way to make a secure web server that's fast and can store data for web apps and games? I'm trying to make a multiplayer version of my web game and all I know how to use for this is GS code and google sheets for data

[rain dove]

anyone know how to create a mod tool ?

[sour siren]

Is there any way to safely store data on frontend in JavaScript(extension)? Things like keys or something.

[lethal hare]

The main way to secure information is by taking the data, adding a salt, and hashing it. Store the hashed data, and store the salt.

Once you have data that needs to be tested, you take the data, add the salt, and see if the hash it generates is equal to the hash you have stored, if it isn't, it's the wrong data. If it is, you're good.

Preferably btw, you store the salt on a seperate server, in case if your main hash server is exposed your salts aren't also exposed.

If you want it fast, got use web assembly lol personally idk enough about it but I know that's how you do it, also this YouTube video goes into a bunch of awesome tips on saving speed in a website https://youtu.be/-Ln-8QM8KhQ?si=O4b8QPAebE4SS-g2

[lethal hare]

I would guess a cookie? Assuming there's no website trying to harvest it lol

[sour siren]

Thanks, but I also meant safe from the user

[wispy kestrel]

Gave +1 Rep to @lethal hare (current: #3585 - 1)

[lethal hare]

You'd need an encryption lol

You can still store it in a cookie, but the data would be scrambled without the proper algorithm

[sour siren]

Yeah, but if everything is in-browser, the encryption would be too, so they theoretically could decrypt it.
From my point it feels impossible, but still hope there is a way

[lethal hare]

Unless you calculate the salt server side, send it over and do the encryption with the data

Doesn't matter if they have the algorithm, they would need the server side salt

[sour siren]

That's what I thought, that the server side is required anyway
Thanks again

[lethal hare]

Ahhh you want it all done in the users side

Without any interaction right

That's harder, but doable, just not impossible to break through

You can't guarantee 100% user side everything + 100% security, it's kinda why they brought up kernel level anti cheat

If you want security, you need a server side situation going on, completely 100% user you can only obfuscate and do complicated diy encryption algorithms

[nocturne wadi]

you could theoretically use Google Apps Script for this. I allows you to make a webapp for free that you could post to that and you wouldnt have to worry about the user being able to decrypt it. The main problem with this is that GAS has like 2-5 seconds of latency per call

[covert juniper]

Idk what salting a website is/does. How th do I do it 😭

[nocturne wadi]

Not salting a website, salting a hash. You are just adding extra text to the end of the object you are hashing to make it significantly harder to crack

[covert juniper]

OH ok

[slim heron]

Hey everyone, I'm practicing a basic Python reverse shell between two Windows machines in my local network (Lab setup). I'm hitting a wall where the connection won't establish.
Setup:
• Attacker (PC): Windows 10/11, IP 192.168.0.100, Listener running on Port 4444.
• Target (Laptop): Windows, same Subnet.
• Code: Using a standard socket and subprocess.Popen script.
The Problem:
• When I run the listener, it says 'Listening...'.
• When I run the client on the laptop, the CMD remains empty and eventually closes without a connection being shown on the listener.
• I suspect my AV (ESET) or Firewall might be silently dropping the packets even when paused.
What I've tried:

1. Verified IP connectivity with ping (works).
2. Fixed the socket.AF_INET attribute errors.
3. Paused ESET Firewall on the host.
4. Checked netstat on the host, Port 4444 is indeed LISTENING.
   Has anyone dealt with ESET silently blocking local socket connections even when paused? Or is there a specific Windows 'App & Browser Control' setting I might be missing? Thanks!

[restive swallow]

Isn't Windows 11 dropping packets by default when they are not specifically white-listed? Try to do the Test-NetConnection between machines on the target port

I guess Hydra is a good one?

[regal anchor]

brute forcing what

[round crater]

Twitter login

I got hacked and I’ve been contacting twitter support for two weeks and nothing

[regal anchor]

not going to work

not going to be a good idea

[round crater]

It’s not the password I was gonna see if I could brute force the password reset pin

Yknow when they send a code to your email to reset your password

[regal anchor]

yeah not going to work

probably also illegal to try

[round crater]

How

It’s my account

[regal anchor]

doesnt matter

thats the usual argument

will still be against tos

[round crater]

Also I checked, on the usual login page after a few tries it will kick you off but on the support page for the pin it doesn’t

[regal anchor]

also probably illegal

[round crater]

Maybe against tos, why would it be illegal 😭

[regal anchor]

im not a legal expert, but all sorts of pentesting-like things (on things you don't fully own) are legally difficult / illegal

[round crater]

Would twitter even care lol

[regal anchor]

about people trying to brute force accs?

probably, yeah

[nocturne wadi]

Would twitter even care if you … literally were trying to hack into an account?

[round crater]

I’m trying to “hack” back into my account

I’ve been sending support tickets to twitter for two weeks, I’ve sent 8 so far, and they send back this same “we can’t verify you as the owner of the account” even though it’s been the same email for 5 years

[nocturne wadi]

its not “hack” though. You are literally attempting to hack it

[round crater]

So

[hallow nova]

So hacking can be illegal in many of not most cases

[hallow nova]

Yeah, i agree on not any cs field and not using it as your main os

[azure sequoia]

what's best os for hacking?

[nocturne wadi]

I recommend a Kali VM

[round crater]

Does anyone use windows command prompt 😭

[restive swallow]

What's your question?

[fast plover]

Kali is the standart

Guys what are the best pratical course ofc for learning each of these : rust, java, Go

It can be udemy or webb app free or not

[lyric mirage]

It's not "your" account though.

[tight heath]

the person using this better be using notepad++ for coding

[round crater]

How

[nocturne wadi]

You dont own the data

or the storage of that data

Hey everyone, I was recently thinking about supply chain attacks and how to mitigate them, and ended up with attack vector that I feel I was not able to mitigate to a satisfactory level, VSCode/VSCodium extensions. They are not sandboxed and thus can compromise your whole system. I considered using other code editors (like zed) but they have similar problems (zed downloads LSP binaries without permission instead of using already installed ones from the package manager). As of now I am only using extensions from reputable companies/organizations, but I would like to further harder this.
How do you handle/mitigate this?

https://www.reddit.com/r/cybersecurity/comments/1izilkp/vscode_extensions_with_9_million_installs_pulled/
https://www.securityweek.com/supply-chain-attack-targets-vs-code-extensions-with-glassworm-malware/

[nocturne wadi]

I really only have extensions from Microsoft since they provide Java and C++ extensions and thats mostly all that I need

[late swift]

programming in what part?

it's a huge scope

there's front end (which isn't very cyber), back end (can be written in almost any lang), and then there's databases (SQL), and automation scripts (Python, Bash, PowerShell)

on top of that, there are general security concepts like SQLi and there are also language specific concerns such as race conditions resulting from asynchronous operations.

[frail violet]

hi guy when i am leaning ThreadPoolExecutor & ProcessPoolExecutor i think if Process create paralel process for execution while Thread just like sequential but without waiting for server to response so why i see so many request task using thread instead of process

cuz in any cases process will be faster right?

[late swift]

Idk what this is in reference to, but a process is completely different to a thread. I think it's Python after a quick Google, but a process will be completely separate in memory, separate from each other's execution threads, and will each have a unique PID. whereas a thread is under the same process, same memory, same priority.

both are concurrent in nature, and in some ways a process may be more efficient than a thread and vice versa, but 9/10 times you want a thread.

and typically the 1/10 times is for permissions sake. (this is just in general, not specific to Python)

[frail violet]

Actually the context was i try to create python code to brute force pin code in hammer room

Then after amount of research i realize threads are better at dealing with request due to sending instead of waiting

I try to do it with process but it not fast as thread cuz each process have to wait even though i open lots of process (my ram almost dead ::( )

If you help with some room go to #room-help channel , help is free here 🙂

[brazen jetty]

Set up a cache of binaries that you want. Scan the binaries. Block / get rid of any suspicious ones. Use versions that are 1 month old so the community has a chance to catch stuff you miss. Then, turn off VS Code marketplace and start using your cache instead?

This isn’t 100% safe but it’s practical and much better than nothing.

There are already some companies that sell services like this.

Udemy is a solid platform, there are thousands of courses tho so sometimes it might be hard to find something good. Look in the internet for the reviews and most importantly wait for the discount. There are constant sales and you can alway refund if you don't like it. Not every course has to work for you.

[wintry dragon]

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a quick win: I’ve successfully modified the Samsung Galaxy M12 stock kernel to support Docker and native containerization. It’s now a fully functional, pocket-sized Linux server! 🐧

The Mod
To get Docker running, I recompiled the kernel to enable:

cgroups & Namespaces (for process isolation)

Veth & IPtables (for container networking)

Optimization for 24/7 background stability.

Why i did this?
Built-in UPS: The 5000mAh battery acts as a natural backup—no downtime during power blips.

Ultra-Efficient: ARM architecture uses way less power than a traditional PC.

Sustainability: Perfect way to repurpose hardware into a home lab node.

Use Cases
It’s a great way to save money on cloud hosting for small projects!

Anyone else here experimenting with "Mobile-to-Server" projects?

[crude chasm]

Haha that’s cool, I’d be a bit worried though having that thing on for months and putting load on it worrying it would catch on fire 🙂

• I tried another device (Galaxy S4), it shows "android" boot screen but gets stuck and doesn’t load further

I already disabled Hyper-V using command:

Usually what my university does goes like this:

Go over the entire material briefly with little to no practical examples during the lecture, during the lab we work instantly without having any prior experience from the lecture. Get pressured alot and make the entire environment just a pain. Ive even asked alot of Y4s they all said "all I want is to get out of this hellhole"

And the exams bruh

They're asking 100x what they give

im not a fan of complaining but this is a genuine issue here in egypt

Hi everyone,
I could really use some advice from experienced software developers/Programmers. I’m currently finishing my bachelor’s degree and working as a student alongside my studies. I want to shift my focus more towards software development, but so far I’ve only been getting rejections despite the experience I’ve gained.
Would anyone be willing to give me some constructive feedback on my CV? I feel like I might be missing something, and I’d really appreciate any help or honest input

[nocturne wadi]

What’s your bachelors in? Software engineering is still very hard to get a job in especially depending on experience, certs, and degrees

[zealous lichen]

Im doing information systems right now. Planning on doing CS master

Integrated

I work as a working student in software testing as of now

QA

I don’t like it at all

My grades got worse due to some modules in finance

[nocturne wadi]

Honestly I would say one’s ability to demonstrate that you know how to do things and have made developments in your skill etc will have a higher impact than that experience, although its still good to include

[zealous lichen]

What do you exactly mean?

I don’t even know what my skills are

[nocturne wadi]

If you dont know what your skills are then how would you communicate your skills to a hirer? If you dont know that yourself i would say you maybe need to play around with stuff some more

[zealous lichen]

I guess analytical thinking could be one

At what point would software engineering not fit to a person?

[nocturne wadi]

Most people could do software engineering if they have the right knowledge probably

I dont think its a question of whether or not you can but rather when will you be able to

[zealous lichen]

Im sorry. I went to sleep afterwards. It truly is a question of ability. I thank you still for your time and effort here.

[zealous lichen]

What do you exactly mean?

[magic falcon]

If analytical thinking is a skill you have, making a guess without having a list of supporting evidence is not a positive indicator

[zealous lichen]

You're right in a way. That message kind of does indicate that I am very unsure of my own skills

[tacit kindle]

Hey guys ..I m preparing for soc l1... what projects I should focus on and any interview tips??

Make a creative README that displays your

Etc

Could even add your certs qauls hobbies etc just to stack it

[indigo tangle]

Aight, any other ideas?

[neon yacht]

you could post
ctf writeupts
even display some of your web development directly

depends on what your experienced in though

[indigo tangle]

Web dev and Pentester

[sweet meteor]

Isn't the best (and really the only sensible) way to work on an actual project? If you are looking to make a portfolio there is no sense to have it all green while there is no content. Focus on actual projects - if you want to develop web dev portfolio - write simple websites, systems, web applications etc. If you want to build your pentesting portfolio - create writeups, reports of pentesting activities, tutorials etc.

[indigo tangle]

Yeah no like not ALL green but like most cause some devs dont get accepted because of their

uh portfolios

[sweet meteor]

It all depends what area of cybersecurity you want to get into - but sooner or later you are going to get into some types of data structures or algorithms. The best way? Probably follow a course on programming. If you really want to dig deep into data structures, then probably c with implementing your own data structures. You will learn what they are, how they work, how to manage memory around them etc.

[indigo tangle]

Im just looking for github project ideas

[sweet meteor]

Make an application related to your interests. If you are interested in cooking - a web cookbook with search, adding recipies, rating them, commenting etc. If you are RPG geek - a roll simulator or something more ambitious like full character creator or encounter generator

I'm 14 in the UK and like making websites I want a way to get money I've already asked my mum about fiver and she said no so can I have some advice pls

[edgy plaza]

Building something that handles file uploads? Most pipelines skip antivirus entirely. pompelmi wraps ClamAV in a single scan() call for Node.js — returns Clean/Malicious/ScanError, zero deps, works locally or via Docker sidecar. https://github.com/pompelmi/pompelmi

[fiery sable]

How can I get money from that though and I want a monthly amount of money also I'm not sure my mum will let me do something like that she says I'm unprofessional

[regal anchor]

if you are 14 and not super experienced in computer science stuff, i think it's pretty unrealistic to get money from it; most realistic option is probably making simple websites for people; however that also comes with a certain amount of responsiblity; and a lot of people nowadays might just try to do this themselves with claude or sth

[regal anchor]

you could ask people you know; but if your mother is against this in general, which i get, not sure what to say here

[little inlet]

hi guys! im 14 and just finished the Cyber 101 path, so I decided to build a basic system auditor in Python to practice. It checks for memory usage and flags 'ghost' network connections that aren't browsers. I used some help from Google and AI to get the socket logic right. Would anyone mind taking a look at the code and letting me know if there's a better way to filter the process names? https://github.com/Oliver-Sec/System-Auditor

Any feedback helps alot!!

[regal anchor]

might be fun, but if the goal is actually making money, that's going to be a hard and unreliable road

[little inlet]

Since Fiverr is a no go you should definitely try reaching out to local businesses directly. You can find a lot of small shops or tradespeople like plumbers or gardeners in your area that have really old websites or maybe just a Facebook page. Try sending them a DM on Instagram or Facebook or even just find their email and send a professional message.

[little inlet]

Another good shout is joining your local town or village Facebook groups. You can post in there saying you are a local student offering to build websites for small businesses to help them get online.

It is definitely a bit of a struggle though. I used to sell websites too but honestly it is getting harder because everyone thinks they can just use AI to do it themselves for free. You really have to outsell yourself and explain why a custom site is better than something a robot made.

[fiery sable]

So do I just walk into a takeaway and just ask myself

[regal anchor]

i don't know what that means

[fiery sable]

So I go onto a takeaway and ask if I can build a website for them for a small price

[little inlet]

You could but it would feel a little awkward, you can go on google maps, search for who you want to make a website for (e.g plumber, barber, etc) and see if they have anything linked such as a social media page, website, or a phone number.

If they have a website, have a look at what they have, they might have a email contact form somewhere and that way you can contact them, offering your service.

However walking in could increase chances of clients as you can build trust with them straight away.

@fiery sable

[mint canyon]

Yeah or look if you have family or friends who would like a site

To get started on a little. Portfolio

[little inlet]

That would make sense, a portfolio is definitely needed to sell websites so you can show your work and that way customers know what you are capable of.

[fiery sable]

Have any of you guys tried it before

[mint canyon]

No not personally, im not really a developer

[little inlet]

Yes i have, but it did not really work out for me.

Could work for you though.

There are so many professional buisnesses who specialize in creating websites so it was near impossible for me to offer services to clients.

[fiery sable]

Did you ask your parents/guardian to advertise for you or did you do it yourself

[fiery sable]

Do you guys know any other ways that I can get money

[little inlet]

all by myself.

[little inlet]

There are lots, just think about what you want to do and how much money do you need?

[fiery sable]

Did you have a card for the payments to go through or did you get people to pay in cash

[mint canyon]

Maybe ask ur parents to make a PayPal or some other form of payment used in ur country

[fiery sable]

The thing is iw as going to ask for it once I was getting paid enough so she sees the need for it

[little inlet]

Cash would have to be in person, which many people dont do, paypal is free and im pretty sure you dont have to add a card unless you withdraw.

You could earn money on the account, then show your mum and withdraw.

[timber fable]

Hello, I need answer to this please,
I am currently building an AI pentest. Let's say teh agent has been working for half an hour running tools and doing stuff and the conversation history is pretty massive, then it decided to open playwright mcp and test website registration, it will have to 1) hit click username field, 2) type username, 3) click password 4)type password, do a bunch of things 5), 6), 7) then finally 8) hit submit. It doesn't make sense to shove the whole history at each iteration (1 to 8), what's the solution for that? What did the engineers of tools like Claude Code do to solve that?

[maiden sedge]

you may want to write the skills.md file and context.md file and break the steps

[shut lion]

when the AI is doing a long task it doesn’t keep rereading everything it already did because that would be way too much info and it would slow everything down so instead it kinda keeps a small “note” of where it’s at like a checklist in its head so instead of remembering the whole conversation it just remembers stuff like “ok username done now password next” and it only focuses on the current step so tools like Claude Code basically work by saving the important progress instead of the full history every time so it’s like using sticky notes instead of rereading a whole notebook every single step

[timber fable]

It's not really one long task, it's practically separate tasks because it waits for input the re-iterates. It literally considers every new iteration as a completely new session, just with the history included. This is a local agent I developed.

Every iteration is completely separate from the agents pov, it's just fed the history so it knows past context.

[shut lion]

Interesting but If each iteration is treated like a full new session with full history attached then yes it works but it scales badly and is unnecessary Production grade agents don’t actually re process the full trajectory each step even if it’s technically included in the prompt They rely on a compressed state + bounded context window strategy where only a summarized working memory current step environment state last action result and plan progress is carried forward while older history is either truncated or distilled into structured memory So instead of re evaluating everything the model is effectively operating on a state machine representation of the task not raw chat history.

[timber fable]

Indeed that's the solution I arrived to, context contraction when reaching a certain threshold while keeping the last ~4 messages verbatim.

[shut lion]

Yeah that approach is valid 👍
Keeping a sliding window of the last few messages verbatim compressing older context once you hit a threshold is basically the standard baseline.

Then I ignored computers for 10 years, got lost in gaming for the last 20 and here I am lol.

[mystic nimbus]

java has a lot of power on the front-end of pages

[bitter field]

ty, did u check my spotify?

[steel delta]

I can never find a good enough reason to bother with js.
I've forgotten the little I knew anyway.

[bitter field]

java is 🤮

[sage oxide]

Yeah😅😅

[bitter field]

👀

[mystic nimbus]

i do most of my programming in python, but have done some js

hate having to remember the ; in js

[sage oxide]

I need to need learn python atleast A5 intermediate level

[bitter field]

you know most of the time the ; isnt needed

[steel delta]

I can write you all some half useless shell scripts LoL.

[mystic nimbus]

until you break something

[bitter field]

yea

[mystic nimbus]

I had to pick up another programers code that had left and every time I went to fix it something else broke

[tepid cargo]

sooo anybody doing some juicy programming recently?

i am working with a webrtc turn server..

basically a video streaming app in RN

tho the library is webrtc and it's native.

[mystic nimbus]

I haven't had a good project in awhile

[steel delta]

I was working on a text based sort of choose your own asdventure thing but I haven't touched it in months.
I loved those books when I was a kid.

[tepid cargo]

ah nice.

[fervent kraken]

what do you guys think about gpl 3 vs 2? also, which licenses do you generally use?

[tepid cargo]

i use MIT.. cause that's the default i think in github lol

[steel delta]

I usually just say use it break re write it, just give me ccredit or I keep it to myself.
Whichever that falls under.

[fervent kraken]

I don't like mit, although I like the fact that it exists for those who want it

[fervent kraken]

yeah but that's not a license. sec

[tepid cargo]

i don't make important enough personal projects to use proper licensing

lol

[fervent kraken]

who cares, do it for the hell of it 😄

"they're important to me"

[steel delta]

I can't keep those straight. @fervent kraken

[sage oxide]

What r we going to do now?

[fervent kraken]

https://choosealicense.com/no-permission/ this is an interesting read

[steel delta]

Pretty much if I put it on my github or share it, it's because I don't care what people do with it beyond saying it was theirs or making money off it, close sourcing it in the end.

For the record I have never written anything special in the first place haha.

[fervent kraken]

there are a few licenses that allow that, and pretty much every other one does not

anw, mainly I was hoping to get some feedback on gpl if anyone had an opinion on it

[steel delta]

Once the work has other contributors (each a copyright holder), “nobody” starts including you.
That could end up being a big problem when one ends up with no rights to their own project except for little pieces of it.

[fervent kraken]

see, if nothing else, it's interesting 😄

[steel delta]

Isn't gpl sort of what I was getting at?

[fervent kraken]

even if you don't care what happens to your stuff

kinda yeah

gpl 2 is: take the code, do whatever you want with it, but if you add improvements to it, give them back

gpl 3 is kind of the same except you're not allowed to distribute closed source version if I understand it correctly

[steel delta]

I'm big o nthings being open source and having the right to modify something to my needs.
At the same time I am big on devs getting paid for their work.

free as in freedom not beer lol

[fervent kraken]

yep I got it

well, mit is this, plus I can take your stuff, refine it and sell it, so 🤷‍♀️

[steel delta]

Thats the thing I hate about MIT though.

Anyone can just mod it and sell it without asking lol.

[fervent kraken]

so if I ever put up code, I'd just add a license more by principle than for any other reason

[stone kayak]

yes for sure

licenses are v/ important

[fervent kraken]

bee if I remember correctly, isn't ciphey gpl v3?

[stone kayak]

jesus christ

i have no idea

RustScan is MIT

but Ciphey is uh

[tepid cargo]

[stone kayak]

basically a bunch of contributors changed the license like 20 times

[tepid cargo]

...

[stone kayak]

and so uh

its supposed to be MIT

but its actually just illegal now

[fervent kraken]

you lost me

does ciphey utilise rustscan?

[stone kayak]

no

rustscan == MIT

Ciphey licensiing = illegal I should be in jail

[vague loom]

[tepid cargo]

staph with licensing and get on with programming

bee tell me some interesting problem to solve

are u doing leetcocde?

[fervent kraken]

ciphey is mit, I just checked, my bad

[tepid cargo]

i will restart leetcode to prepare for google

[stone kayak]

im at 230 leetcodw rn

problems

i want to rip my eyeballs out

i can barely do DP

[tepid cargo]

damn .. tell me some interesting problems.

i will make a new account

and do u have like paid acc or free one?

the paid one seems like ripoff to me

[fervent kraken]

my sleepy brain can think of exactly one thing which dp stands for right now

[stone kayak]

https://leetcode.com/discuss/general-discussion/460599/blind-75-leetcode-questions

[fervent kraken]

so what do you mean?

[stone kayak]

i have free

dynamic programming

[fervent kraken]

right of course

[tepid cargo]

thanks bee. love u

[fervent kraken]

I'll read it up

[stone kayak]

actually i use binarysearch more now

its more fun

https://binarysearch.com/@/bee

[tepid cargo]

okay.. i used to do codekata

but that's really ezpz stuff

[stone kayak]

thats not me

my bad

[fervent kraken]

there are like 10 of these sites

[stone kayak]

https://binarysearch.com/@/beesan

this is me

[fervent kraken]

which do you guys prefer?

[tepid cargo]

leetcode, geeksforgeeks

[stone kayak]

leetcode is industry standard

but i prefer binarysearch for itts community

feels like THM tbh

aloo competitions are in a time i can do them

not at like 4am like leetcode

[tepid cargo]

codechef is nice as well

i really never used codechef that much

but enjoyed that competition one

there is an app.. they will give a question and two ppl will compete.. what is the name!!

umm

[stone kayak]

oh

i know tthis

begins with P

[tepid cargo]

turbocode?

umm

[stone kayak]

Pratt

[stone kayak]

PRAMP

[sage oxide]

I am not getting what u guys are saying..

[stone kayak]

https://www.pramp.com/#/

?

[tepid cargo]

TOP CODER

topcoder has an app where u do live coding with an opponent

like Koth for coding. it's fun but nerve wrecking

[sage oxide]

Why r we discussing interview?

[stone kayak]

because this is the programming channel

where all discussions of programming are allowed

[sage oxide]

OK ok

[tepid cargo]

and interview is a big part as well as app dev.

[sage oxide]

My interview took around 40 minutes.

[stone kayak]

Google takes 8 hours

and thats just the onsite

[sage oxide]

I am not a Google fan

[tepid cargo]

My minimum rounds were 3rounds around 1hr each. and maximum one was 7 round 1.5hrs each and last one more than 4hrs

[stone kayak]

neither am i, but I am a fan of £££££££ 🤑 🤑 🤑

[fervent kraken]

yeah no, not saying I'd rather starve, but I can live with less

[tepid cargo]

Thoughtworks has a very good interview process, albeit tough but very good.

[sage oxide]

Mine was 5 round selection

In Lockdown

[fervent kraken]

some companies in my country right now interview+hire all remote

since this thing is gonna last for a while, here's hoping

[sage oxide]

[fervent kraken]

no

I'm in greece

[sage oxide]

Okkk

[tepid cargo]

lmao 530 to canada lmao

[sage oxide]

I know what you r thinking

[tepid cargo]

the cost travelling will be greater than one month salary in 530

yeah

🤣

[fervent kraken]

I said it semi jokingly; I still have enough time to exhaust all my options

not saying canada isn't nice

[surreal bronze]

Is this a new channel?

Yes it is

Finally a programming channel

[stone kayak]

sneakpeak

[steel delta]

@stone kayak Is that something you are writing?

[stone kayak]

Yup! 🙂

[steel delta]

Be sure to give us a link when you're done I would be interested in reading the rest.
