Not sure if this is the right place but Iโm in search of some advice -
A little bit of a backstory; Iโve been smoking weed and staying up quite late and not really focusing on my studies.
Iโve signed up to take a class on IT Professionals, basically covering all of computers and what you can use them for (Coding, Virtualization, GNU Linux, Windows, Hardware, etc.) and I want to get started today on refreshing my ability to look at and write code with enough skill to get started in this class which takes place in a month.
If anyone has words of wisdom or some sort of advice that may be able to help me you can shoot me a dm or reply to this message as anyone else could.
For reference Iโm using Fedora 40 with a Ryzen 7 3700x and 2060 Super in a prebuilt machine made by CyberPowerPC.
Machine should be fine, try to find some simple katas which can help your coding if you already know a little. Without knowing your background it'll be a bit difficult to guide you though
If you want to start with some coding problems.
You can check out programming games like Elevator Saga, Code Combat, CodinGame.
A lot of that will be either Python or JS.
If you hate yourself and love JS, you can try "return true to win"
Let's avoid hating ourselves ๐
Lets start with my elementary background and progress further -
I was introduced to computers from a young age, this computer being a Thinkpad of some kind given to me by my school, me and my friends would mess with the computers and get them to do certain things such as bipass dino (A program used to make sure kids were behaving on theyโre machines).
Forwarding to HS years Iโve taken Computer Science and AP Computer Science, I passed Computer Science with a 70-75% and failed AP Computer Science with a 58%.
I heavily enjoy watching SomeOrdinaryGamers, Mental Outlaw, and Eric Parker on YouTube and these sorts of channels are the only ones that interest me because of theyโre Hacker/ Computer Science esk background.
Going into my Sophomore year of HS I started to get deep into the Edward Snowden anti gov specticule and got the book made by him, Iโve loved reading about these sorts of instances heavily.
Ok so you have some programming background
yes
Codingame is good for algorithm design
There's some good advice in #cyber-and-careers as well
Some resources in the pinned messages in #programming as well
Sorry for typing so much just trying to give my full background here.
During Computer Science we mainly learned the basics of python and how to make screens and shapes appear on screen, we made games and thatโs about all.
Later into the year of AP Computer Science we had a final product that was based on whatever we wanted it to be, everyone else in the class was making games, I didnโt know what to make. On the second to last day in the class I made a Port Scanner as I called it that scanned youโre network/ IP address for open ports (However that works, I couldnโt even do that again today).
I've favorited the two given channels and gotten started on the TryHackMe beginner stages named Network Fundamentals & How The Web Works.
That's a classic beginner InfoSec project for sure
Did shadow's order of hacking recommendation list ever get pinned? @twin ridge
Probably
There are a bunch of exercises here with various degrees of difficulty https://codingdojo.org/kata/
Thanks, I will keep doing TryHackMe until done with whatever needs to be completed and will move onto Coding Dojo afterwards because that seems cool and I've heard of it from various youtubers.
Gave +1 Rep to @twin ridge (current: #12 - 587)
I checked just now and noticed its been updated now (to include the other paths since it was initially pinned).
I am completely new to hacking and I am 24 with no prior technical knowledge, can I make it as a pentester??
Absolutely
Take the cybersecurity fundamentals then, move to Linux basics and then to penetrating for beginners
That will level the plain field for you and make the learning easier
I am looking for buying laptop for learning coz my old buddy is not up to my needs.
Anyone has any suggestions for me ?? Would be helpful for me to choose one...
Depends on which country you are located in
I bought some second hand thinkpads for cybersecurity. There are suppliers on eBay who sell ex-business laptops for cheap.
Can confirm: The thinkpads are awesome.
Brand new ones can get real pricey but the used/refurbished ones are just perfect
Great price:preformance, build quality and every port you could want without the need for adapters
Also usb A
psst
Is the CTF currently running?
no
Reasonable chance you've royally screwed up your routing. What exactly are you trying to do?
how i can find a director that have a name flag and i dont have a root pirm
Assuming this is the CTF from earlier, do you have a link to said CTF?
I'm not sure what you mean. What is this for? Are you doing a TryHackMe room?
no is local chalange for biggner
If it's an active challenge, we cannot assist you. Sorry.
Where can I find a free training/learning expierience before taking the CompTIA exam?
Professor Messer has free materials on Sec+ and Net+.
Just make sure you have at least 16GB RAM and min 512SSD. That's good enough to run almost anything.
psst
Were you ever able to figure this out? Very shortly after I registered with MU-TH-UR the attackbox crashed. I lost the creds and it looks like I won't be able to do this room. ๐ฆ
im guessing it resets when the lab resets
How can I get these discord tags (eg subscriber) ?

Anyone started learning pentesting at the age of 25 and above???
:mute: mingyun0942#0 has been muted.
Hey yes, I'm nearly 28 and started now to switch my career.
Good to hear, what domain are you currently working in??
Out of curiosity, is there a standard waiting period or guideline for publishing write-ups on active CTFs/challenges? I'd like to know for future reference when publishing my own write-ups.
Unless the write says otherwise.
New challenge rooms ask for 72 hours of it going live ๐
Although you shouldn't really write up most walkthrough rooms anyway.
It either becomes an answer dump (bad), or a rewrite of the content (rude).
good to know, I'll keep that in mind.
Wasn't in regards to walkthrough rooms (: specifically CTFs and challenges
Aye, more a general point / in response to Scrubz. All good
I know that, but it was just easier to specify challenge as a few rooms ask for writeups not to be published, Internet can't be policed, but some users do have the courtesy.
Hello everyone, Am new here
i am also ๐
Hello, I am new here as well. I am doing my first bug bounty and I heard u might get dropped by your ISP if I use certain recon tools. Should I use a digital ocean VM instead of my own machine?
I am new hear,
yes, It's a good thing.
I need some Help with HackTheBox questions, I'm stuck at the last two questions of the Windows Fundamentals path room, I have found the SID of the two users but the SID isn't registered as the correct answer on HackTheBox, I'm pretty sure the SID I entered is the right one
Windows Fundamentals is the second part of the Path, "Operating Systems"
On HTB
If you're doing HTB, I'd ask on their discord.

I'm new and still figuring out the app, how discord works any tips on how to get the most of it

@tawdry dove my bad. apologies
Is it possible to connect metaploitable 2 VM as a Wazuh agent? I've been trying to get it set up on Wazuh as one of the agents, to make logs of threats, but the connection doesn't work
I'm guessing here, but I think that metasploitable VM does not come preconfigured with a network. If I recall correctly (maybe) you have to set the network up via your hypervisor, then set your VM up manually to run either DHCP, or set a static IP. Anyone here is free to correct me on this, I just woke up and I may be incorrect.
Oh thanks mate

hey, do most people start their cybersecuirty in highschool or after it?
I think most people start it after
cyber security is a relatively new field (or rather the popularity of it is), so a lot of people who are getting into it are uni students or older
But you can start in*
Hi guys, I recently got fired from company I was working with, and they didnโt get their laptop back, Iโm thinking about restarting it and using it as a personal device, what do you think and if anyone have any helpful tips or tricks that would be great.
Note: although they fired me but they still did not remove my access ๐๐
If you accessed stuff after your termination, that sounds unethical and potentially illegal. Have you notified them that they haven't collected their property?
Well, I have no interest in the data on the laptop. I just checked once out of curiosity. In terms of informing them, no, but they know that I have a device that belongs to them. For me, it just shows how sloppy this company is. They did not ask for their laptop back or even remove my access, which for me is a disaster ( Bad information security ).
sounds like someone is having dangerous legal liability there
Sometimes things fall between the cracks. By accessing the company laptop after your termination, you've opened yourself to some level of liability. Informing them is more of a protection for yourself, as it shows you've conducted a level of diligence trying to return their property.
yeah that's what everyone advice me, so i'll be doing this, thank you for your input though.

Hello Pals, Is there any bulk mailer that still inbox
What do you mean? You're looking for a bulk mailer that returns the mail to your inbox?
Yes
No it has to inbox to the bulk email addresses
Which is it? You gave a yes and a no to the same question?
No. Am looking for the mailer that inbox in all email address
like Office365,Go daddy ,outlook,comcast etc
Why do you want to blast multiple emails with spam?
i want to promote my business and not spam
i want to promote my business and not spam

hello guys
Anyone studying for the Comptia security +exam?
I'm sitting right next to someone who did sec+ a few weeks ago. Do you have a question about it?
What programming languages do yall think is necessary to know in order to hack
Strictly speaking not really any of them, but it's a good idea to learn at least one language well enough for you to use it for general purpose. Whether that's C, Javascript or Python or something else entirely is less relevant.
Besides that it's a good idea to know your way around in languages like Python, bash and powershell.
Python is a good candidate for a useful general purpose language
Hey! As someone fresh to this could someone please give me a dumbed down few sentences of what Python is? Or where do you recommend I should look to find out?
Python is a programming language
Itโs high level and object oriented.
Using the Jupyter notebook was one way i learned some python
Thank you!
if you're intersted, I recently played a coding for kids game to learn some basics of python. It was very cute.
I'm interested in this, where do I find it?
There's a free Python Basics room on THM aswell.
Itโs not free though. Only the first couple levels are. Itโs super cute though and I had a really fun time working through it.
@quartz kiln please engage with the community more before self promotion please ๐
Or you can go to w3school website and do it for free as well
You will get quiz option as well
Hi please I need help in hacking a Facebook account
i don't think you're in the right place for that
Please direct me to the rate please
this is a server for learning about ethical hacking
What you are asking isn't ethical at all
yeaaaaa...its a crime
Am not using to harm people ๐ค๐ค๐ค
Just want to learn more in hacking and ethical hacking cos I have a little knowledge of it
Getting someone's information illegally isn't how you start learning ethical hacking....... If you are really interested then follow the modules of tryhackme and you are good to go
Ok sir or ma ๐
Itโs not self promotion itโs a genuine site I found that helped me. Sorry if that was misunderstood.
It's not a site you created?
Nope, itโs a site I used to learn basic python programming in an interactive and fun way that also appealed to my aesthetics. I had also wanted to test it out before letting my children use it.
Than that's my missunderstanding, sorry.
I can't return your post, I can copy/paste it to you so you don't have to type it again.
Itโs no big deal. Itโs called codingforkids.io if anyone is interested.
Or you can try w3school too and you can learn it along with quizzes
this
Sorry?
i was agreeing, that is also an option lol
Got it

I've had similar issues with the Windows VMs, though usually refreshing does work on my end. ๐ค
Probably better to ask in #site-support
"Hello, I contacted technical support, but I haven't heard back since!" ๐ฆ
Jusf wait patiently
#site-support is our channel for connection issues. If you sent an email to the support address, it usually takes a couple of days to get a response. If you continually email them, your messages get sent to the bottom of the queue each time.
"I understand, I don't have much time to wait."
THM have over 3 million members. Could you imagine just 1% mailing in.
So many emiala

"I understand, I will wait."
Did you checked the vpn
VPN being on or not will have no effect on the Windows boxes loading a black screen or not.
Hey i have getting error the screen locker is broken unlock is not possible
Hey Everyone, I have a question I want to learn web pen-testing from which I should go to tryhackme web fundamentals path or portswigger academy?
Both are great ..but for comfortable interface thm is recommended
Yea, But the tryhackme covers very less vulnerabilities while portswigger covers most of the widely exploited bugs.
Then do both
Yea Good Idea

Hi, can a vpn steal my password and username?
if you are using shady ones i would way it it possible. Since traffic is going through their servers, most of it is probably encrypted, but i suppose it can still be done.
if you are using "free" vpns they are all datamining you, because you are the product there
What about proton VPN and cloudflare warp?
proton is supported by their paid users iirc
7 for a free user.
That question would be more suited for site support.
i use proton and its quite good. only thing i dislike about them is that they have too much products in beta stage and are making new apps instead of fixing what they have. vpn is great though
Hi, I use Aegis 2FA . I know how to create encrypted backups. My question is if I forget my password, will this backups work?

Hi I got a simple but weird scenario from an issues report that i study
Can someone explain and tell me what kind of severity level it would get and why if its even a vulnerability of the site? its a weird xss that is non-persistent and only displayed on the user's side and session. a username input can be a payload that will run in the dom after submission but the user would have to do interceptions, changes to requests first thus a malicious exploit can only happen if an attacker makes a website that automatically does this process on the victim's computer. the injected site is then displayed to the user.
Like i would say its really not a big problem or is it?
Hi
What would be the most far-fetched thing so that they don't find my information on the Internet?
can you clarify the question im not sure what you're asking
are you asking about the most effective privacy/security measures for online activity?

i want to learn python im not getting good sources can u guys please guide me
Why are the sources you find not good in your opinion? There's so soo many video's on YouTube that can get you started with Python.
not with youtube please any kind of pdfs of other links sir? @quasi narwhal
i will try sir
Yeah no worries, I was just poking a bit of fun, apologies for the offence caused
its ok sir
You can technically do python with windows. It's not ideal TBF, though something like wsl makes bootstrapping a dev environment pretty trivial

Hey noob question for very early started of programming/coding. I want to start to learn and get into it. What is the best laptop set up or is desktop better? Brand and cost efficiency is what I'm looking for. Please and thank you
Any brand works
You can even start coding on a low end laptop
Thinkpads are good
Do you just want to code, do you want to do anything else?
Like run VMs, hack etc.
You may want to get a low end for coding, but if you want to eventually run vm's, you might as well try and get a refurbished business model of Thinkpad
It would save you from buying now and wanting something new in a years time, I do suggest with whatever option you get a refurbished one, especially if all you want to do is code.
Ok great only code early stuff also budget type
Ok cool good to know have a cheap one now but wonder if good
Just for coding stand-alone? A laptop for 200-300 bugs will do his job. No brand question. More a question of the hardware and what you are planning to do with it now and perhaps in the future.
Any laptop with minimum of i5 or ryzen 5 along with integrated graphics, 8gb ram would do the job... Don't go below this spec else you will have very slow pc specially if you will need to open multiple tabs for debugging and research during your development.
I think laptops are more budget friendly, any type of brand works but i prefer thinkpads.
Hi
Hi @rustic thistle
Hey guys,
I just needed to have people who understood me with my journey. I've been working on Tryhackme for a while now, and it's finaly clicking. I just got the Hash Cracker badge and I got so excited but none of my friends or family understands that this is a big step. I'm also a very big introvert and I'm anxious while writing this. What I'm trying to say is...I'm proud of myself and I would love to be in this community.
Alright man. Keep it up! If your ever stuck on a room or have any questions feel free to ask and somebody from this community will help you.
Thank you so much!
You are most welcome here ๐
You've already taken your first steps, many of us are socially awkward. Since I've been here I've received nothing but support and kindness.
That is good to hear, my wife is my cheerleader, she loves me, but she doesn't know for the love of her what I'm doing and why it's important, so I really wanted to take the step and seeing now how friendly the people here are, I think I made the right choice ๐
Wow can't believe I made this it's actually been a while but it all came through
So glad am making improvements every day

Good morning lovely people! I'm new here but wanted to say howdy! ๐
Hiii!
Ran into this right now and I just had to share it with a security-oriented community ๐
A couple things came to my mind (apart from the service provided, which I find nifty/nice, this is on board of a train, delivering stuff from the bar to your seat):
- I like the UX, privacy-wise that it's stated in plaintext where the QR-code shall point to, so you can cross-reference whether it's malicious or not
- It's an OSINT vector: In case somebody is shooting selfies on this train and in the background a QR-code is readable, with the timestamp together you have full information (the QR code includes the train, coach (== which section on the train) and seat number! that's also why it's blackened in this pic)
might be fun to fake a QR code on a sticker on top of that ๐
Exactly that's what I meant with the angle of being able to cross-verify the URL with the text!
can always sticker over that as well ๐
Yeah, in that case just replace the wHole sticker I guess. Still, I found it nice, never seen it done this way before.
nah, on a serious note it's good to have the cross-reference
as for the OSINT angle, you can probably get quite a bit of information just from the seat coverings in a train ๐
or a bus for that matter
That's for sure true. But the QR + timestamp gives exact info
The instructor for the classes I'm taking right now suggested a Core i5 with 16gb minimum for virtual machines. If you want to run VMs, you'll be much better served by prioritizing RAM over clock speed. And yes, refurbished/renewed is the way to go. You can find some great deals on Amazon -- although of course you have to do your due diligence and find a third party seller that won't shaft you -- for systems that would otherwise cost upwards of $7K.
I got an i7 16GB Elitebook 840 from them two years ago and never had a single problem. It still runs great.

Is tryhackme still worth it even if you don't pay for sub or another CTF for free is better?
I am a subscriber and I find it worth it because of the content. Have you tried doing a couple of rooms just to get a feel of the platform. Even if you are a free user, you'll still learn a bunch of stuff depending on how you use the platform.
Yeah, I did like 4 rooms and when I was about to continue to the next room it told me that I need sub for this section
Are you on the learning path(s)?
You can do a search on the free rooms to see what you can and cannot access.
Yeah and it asked for money on the first section

"i was thinking of getting a laptop, what would u recommend for cyber? i considered chromebook for cheaper option but it wouldnt handle VMs i guess"

I'm torn between two laptops. The first one is a Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Gen 4 with an Intel i7-1355U processor, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 14" WUXGA display, and FreeDOS (model: 21HD0016TX 002). The second one is an HP Elitebook 845 Gen 10 with an AMD Ryzen 7 7840U processor, 64GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD, 14" IPS display, and Windows 11 Pro (model: 8A3T0EAW02). Which one do you think makes more sense?
My first question is, why do you need 64GB of RAM? 16GB is the norm nowadays, so 32GB would be way more than enough.
My second question is, the first model is shipped with FreeDOS? Are you sure you want that? I'm all for an old school DOS system, but man, it's not a normal graphical interface as you expect, unless you know it and love it, then I'd say go for that.
Personally I'd install a Linux Distro no matter what it ships with. I'd go with Intel, but I'm old school, AMD is also really good.
I'd go AMD for CPUs these days
ryzen 3 with 1tb ssd, and 16bg ram, running windows 10 minimum is more then enough to put things in in perspective. I would just get a secondary ssd for your second OS, if this is your main system, if this is a secondary system and you aren't familiar with freedos, then just run freedos in a vm.
Of those 2 Iโd go for the thinkpad. I absolutely love the keyboard and trackpads on the T models. But thatโs just me.
Why would u want 64 gb ram for a U series processor
It's overkill, if ur a hardcore gamer, u probably shouldn't even use a U series processor
If ur doing any ram intensive tasks, ur cpu will definitely hold u back because its a U series cpu
so a couple days ago i stumbled upon a group that is making material to make parents aware of dangers on internet that pray on their kids. I decided to try and help them by making a guide for parents on how to block access to certain websites. would anyone a bit more experienced like to help too?
one idea is to block sites on their home network in router settings, another is using apps on devices to achieve that.
but is there a way to hide these apps and settings from being accesible to more tech savy kids?

Lenovo ThinkPad Z16 Gen 1 AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H 32GB 1TB SSD, this one ?
Bro, let me add this: I live in Turkey, and prices are quite high, so I do a lot of research.
virtualization? my laptop has pretty low specs other than weight and ram, which sadly caps at 64 for light weight laptops.
Im not really to hardware savvy, but go ram heavy.
also imho, never run GPU tasks on a laptop - besides, Hashcat rules pretty much eliminates any valid use for a GPU
This is good
Go for it if the price is reasonable
Ahh makes sense
I'm solving the Vulnversity Room and stuck on Task 2 I am trying more time but answer is wrong. Can someone take a look? i am finding this question Answer What is the flag for enabling verbose mode using Nmap?
#room-help please.
Vulnversity
No, please go that channel.
which channel
The one I linked in the message you replied to a minute ago
Hello, can anyone help me, I want to participate in a hacking competition called capture the flag, does anyone know how I learn and where to start?
#start-here to learn the basics of ethical hacking. It will allow you to build your skills to participate in CTFs
Okay

@odd acorn Hey, I was wondering who can get the Creators-Lounge role?
I had some ideas, I wanna run them by others first before starting on something.
BTW, I created a room around binex a while ago. :p

Oh, wrong message๐
@ebon spoke - I know you're not on here a lot buuuuuut... https://www.humblebundle.com/books/star-trek-adventure-rpg-first-edition-collection-modiphius-books
Aahh
There we go!
Oooo! NICE! ๐๐
i think it is -v and then u can also use the -vv for very verbose
for nmap switch and flag information you can just use the following command in Kali Linux for help
"man nmap"
that will bring up the manual and tell u all the switches
Been playing a lot of Star Trek online and it's awesome. Characters from the series make appearances - Michael Dorn, Will Wheaton, Denise Crosby, Kate Mulgrew
they even wangled it so that the Discovery universe is there AND Original series too
star trek online is great! I forgot my credentials for their client though so if it ever logs me out I'm boned.
I LOVE Star Trek Online! Itโs been years since I last played it! Iโve been wanting to, but they donโt have a Mac client! ๐ซ๐ซ
In room Persisting Active Directory when I use attack box I don't see persistad device : systemd-resolve --interface persistad --set-dns 10.200.106.100 --set-domain za.tryhackme.loc

@odd acorn again

ooo
Yeah sure, just a sec. Lemme connect the headset
oh im not gonna talk btw ๐
then how can i boot from the installed system
No, you did boot from it
That's why it's odd for the file to go missing after reboot
I am not sure, the boot order was correct
Did you move the Floppy up?
i just did now
Could you try disabling (uncheck) the other options
i can
Keep the hard disk checked, something to boot from
with one i check
Yep
Oh, looks like the installation was faulty or something
Are you sure the installation was complete?
The Hard Disk is missing the system to boot from
idk about that
You could try to install again from the ISO, enable it and move it up
i think i need to reinstall it
Yeah
That's a lot of RAM for Linux, leave some for your host too :p
@copper zealot ^
Yeah, but still
i just do a ctf and close the machine
Anyway, you can change it later on too
whats the order
It's good for now
Kali too comes pre-installed with the tools, there's options to select the tools - minimal, all, extras (something like that) during the installation
didn't work ๐ฆ
Oh, there wasn't the Live text in the boot entries. Earlier,I thought you were booting from an installed system. My bad
What didn't?
Oh, but you didn't install it man
didn't install what ๐
Check this out - https://www.blackarch.org/blackarch-install.html
You booted from an ISO, a live boot and you get the system to testing. You have to install it on the hard disk. Otherwise, you will still boot again from the ISO next time because the Hard Disk doesn't have any system installed on it
Most of the distros provide an installer GUI when you boot into with Live Boot, following which you get the system installed on the Hard Disk
WIth this one, you have to do it manually. The Arch way lol
aw no ๐
IIRC, there's an installer archinstall script to make it easier. It was for Arch Linux though
You could download an installed VM too, but it's quite big I think as compared to the installer ISO
Why not just install Kali?
This is with Kali
What sorta fatal error?
i think related to the ram
didn't find the fix
Oh, never heard of RAM error with a Kali VM. Given the amount you allocate to them :p
i don't think its a ram but the eror code looked like some ram eror
OK
haha
anyway thank you for your time
I hope you don't get any error this time โ๏ธ
i hope soo
@devout basin hey man
@bronze pagoda Can you ping me when you see this.
Question, how do you guys "stay current" in the field? What social media/news/blogs/podcast do you follow. I mainly don't have social media or news but would like to make a shift to get more informed on new cool things in the field
Medium Articles. They sent you daily email on the basis of your choice you selected and articles you read. And some youtube videos and TryHackMe for learning new things.
Eeww... Medium
Project Discovery blogs and HackTricks content are also my go to.
hey guys
may I know what should be the steak for this room on thm
breaching active directory
7 day streak
I have, what I am sure is a dumb question: what are the rules for write-ups, like what we can and can't do?
Mainly a good writeup does not include the answers to the questions outright. Write-ups, when submitted to the site for a room are approved/denied at the discretion of the room creator. ๐
Hello
write-ups should be written after 3days of the room release.
Thank you! I see them everywhere. But I didn't know if there were certain things you were allowed to post or not post. ๐ ๐
Gave +1 Rep to @smoky mortar (current: #16 - 477)
Because he wants a friend. Mabye he wants you to help him because heโs new? @stray zinc
Hi
Not all drivers break the speed limit, however the rules of this server are no DM/friend request.
They agreed to them when they joined.
Always ask permission before sending a DM or friend request to another user.
Bro are yall serious right now? If someone really wants help, weโre just going to ignore them, and say that theyโre breaking the rules? What has the world come to?
This is a professional environment. If they would like help, why not ask in public where 216651 users can read and provide help.
We have rules for a reason.
Hey bro wanna be friends?
No thank you.
Didnโt know that was illegal
@south inlet gave me a warning lol saying I was trolling
Don't post an E-mail in that chat.
Hi
We can't prove it's your email.
Please stop, if you continue you'll lose the ability to speak.
Then EMAIL IT!
Go ahead. Do it. Bet I fucking wonโt file suit. BET I FUCKING WONT.
I have it verified on my tryhackmeaccount
:mute: a_sec#0 has been muted.
Iโm moving to hack the box. See you guys.
Yes! I wanted talk about oscp with you if itโs possible ๐
See exactly
Bro I got a warning for defending you๐ and then they muted me ๐๐๐
You didnโt say he dmโd you, you said he sent you a friend request.
@last acorn can you please change your pfp.
i dont think my profile picture has any problem
am i gonna be banned or something
It's political, and possibly can create a topic about something we'd rather leave out the server.
i never talk about political stuff in servers and i never also made someone talk about it using my ppic
No, but it's still a possibility.
If you don't change your pfp, you may be removed from the community.
As much as I hate their pfp they are doing nothing wrong and they have the freedom of press and freedom of speech to do so.
It was a moderators descision for them to remove it, they didn't want to remove it and left.
Nothing more needs to be said, we don't allow politics in here because the discussions can get pretty heated and non civil.
This is a professional environment, and for some of our members, it's literally their workplace.
So if community members wish to stay, they should abide by our rules.
He didnโt get political?
Bro๐ you wouldnโt last in the United States one day
Youโd get beat up๐
Even though I disagree with his pfp 100%, he has that right. He didnโt even break any rules, he just had the PFP. He never discussed any politics.
The PFP could spark a conversation, this has happened in the past, if you continue to argue against our rules you could be mutes.warned, and if it's a repeat thing you do, you may be removed also.
Iโm not arguing against any rules bro
Go ahead remove me
Iโm a premium member
I also have a verified student account lol, so go ahead
Youโll just lose a customer if you want that (bad business). Iโm quite surprised youโre a student yourself, you should know better than that.
Iโm a part of the national society of leadership and success in the U.S. Matter of fact, im a presidential member. Do you want proof of this?
I'm not staff.
The discord and website are different.
You can get removed from the Discord server without being removed from the website.
Oh so your just a discord moderator
You need to take a business class
These are my badges you can verify with the NSLS
Iโd send a picture of the physical certificate too, but sending images is disabled
Because you're not verified, regardless, this conversation doesn't need to continue.
Hello
I am using the freedom of speech right now, please donโt ban me for using my freedom of speech.
You're not being banned, I just won't be replying to you.
hilarious conversation
And here was me thinking we'd already established that:
A. Freedom of speech doesn't apply to services provided by private orgs, and
B. That the American constitution doesn't apply worldwide.
My mistake 
You want some freedom with that?
I don't see you at the meetings...
Hey, just one question, if half of the tryhackme server used the same pfp that ch1 is using, would all members be banned or warned?
I don't see a problem with using a pfp like this and also what it would affect on a server the size of tryhackme lol
hilarious
If it sparked a controversial conversation, yes.
but it generated controversy before you warned? I didn't really see if it generated or not with other members ๐ง
This was discussed in a different channel, this discussion doesn't need to happen ๐
@primal steppe you go to CSUP?
There arenโt any regular meetings considering that Iโve already completed all the SNT meetings ๐๐ look at the badges and verify them from the NSLS
lol
@primal steppe if you donโt believe me I can send you a copy of the physical certificate in my DMs as well as an enrollment certificate from the national student clearinghouse association for CSU
It's also called
Freedom of speech with knowledge of consequences over here
Sorry, I thought you were talking about something real
I am?
Iโm a student at Colorado State University; it is definitely something real.
Bro this community is toxic and super unprofessional.
๐๐๐
Sorry we only accept NSA gchq and GUCAMOLE badges here
I think everyone should take a step back.
@radiant jacinth you're not helping the situation with the constant arguments, You've already had two mutes.
Okay well Iโll shutup
The conversation have been done, there is no need to drag this on any longer.
Iโll let the troll go
@radiant jacinth But if you want to talk, feel free to send me a DM
@primal steppe it wonโt let me lol
I sent a FR
Did you make that with AI or something?
Yes
Cool
Do I agree with the text? Not really. But that may be your point of view. Keep in mind the Discord community and the website are different things
Okay
Thank you sir
I donโt agree with the text either, but because it is a hard rap song, im going for it
@primal steppe can you ping me when you're around, please?
๐ฅฒ
Well that was a minute of my life I want back
Probably not the best idea to post things you don't agree with, might give the wrong impression
Also, freedom of speech is not immunity to criticism of said speech.
what the hell is that
Someone got angry I guess
Hey @radiant jacinth if you have a problem with a community moderator, please DM me ๐
This channel is not the appropriate place for it.
Yeah
your pic is a pokemon?
Am enjoying the rooms so far
though I did struggle a bit with Network Fundamentals 2 because, for some odd reason, the attackbox in-browser wasn't working and neither was the ssh server
Not sure if you are supposed to connect to the target via SSH though.
If the room is guiding you and it doesn't specifically say connect to ssh, the ssh server isn't active. I'd need to look at that room specifically though to confirm.
You need to SSH in to 2/3 machines in that room,
The machine names are:
Task 3 - nsf2
Task 6 - smtp7
Task 9 - polomysql
Please use #room-help for more assitance if needed.
thanks

hello all
hey hey
Yo!
Hey all,
I am new to cyber security and still learning.
- What sort of a computer do you guys use for bug hunting, CTFs and THM cyber stuff?
- Is it a good idea to get a good laptop and run virtual machines or get a different laptop for cyber stuff?
Good laptop that can run VMs
I use my own PC, I just run VMs and all my cyber stuff are there
guys, are there any russian or russia-based people here? not getting political. just want to make connections
๐ต๏ธ

Average glowie activity
:/
What kind of connections do you need?
people who have started somewhere already, pentest or sth, or that already are pros and doing it legal, and might need a free hand. basically, looking for an internship
Well, i looking for internship too, so i don't think, that i can help you

Are you based there?
why?

Lolz
Unless you have proof about this, let's not refer to our community members as glowies.
We actually have federal employees in this server.
rest in peace Terry
YES
yes
You're*
Just a student? Damm... Newbie
๐
๐
Bro wtf๐
Iโm actually laughing right now๐๐๐๐๐ talk came to tryhackme lmao
stundent
ftw
Whatever you say newbie, I thought you were a SOC analyst not a student?
@radiant jacinth
@dreamy kayak
Cry about it
I want to see proof of this: "Iโm a part of the national society of leadership and success in the U.S. Matter of fact, im a presidential member."
Why? So you can dox me?
You asked if anyone wants to see proof of it so I want to see proof. Doxing is illegal btw
@true fossil Damn, whereโd you go?
you noticed that half of the server is above the SoC analyst role, right?
I think more than that, we have ppl that finished college 20 years ago
Bro all yโall need to stop talking shit. This place is toxic as fuck.
Nobody is helpful. Everyone is trolling. Fucking unprofessional and toxic.
I sent @true fossil my certificate to prove Iโm in the NSLS and now heโs gone silent
This shit is shady asf.
Who is trolling bro, you tried to be the mr know everything but are literally in the start of the career
NSLS is literally free cert tho... is the same as certiproof... Usually doesn't count if you have more than 3 days in the field
I'm trying to figure out how to report it to mods cause it has your first and last name which is breaching TOS I think
Are you serious
Yep... Give me some certs that are relevant... I'm taking any C-level mid/advanced thing
NSLS is at college level, as soon as you realize that... GPA doesn't matter, literally, can help you start in your career but that's it. Give me one past exp in a corporative environment that is relevant
any real achievement
No one cares
LoL, so you are literally braging about being someone by showing yourself... not by accomplishing something in the field. Learn by that. in sec and IT in general it doesn't matter you having a Benz and trying to brag stuff, what does matter is what you did and you did literally nothing! Accept that and go on, even if you want to show something, show you curriculum and profissional skills. What's your linkedin? What's your credly profile? Anything relevant? Any tools invented? Any method? Something???
Why you mad bro? No one here is gonna glaze you and your ass got muted in HTB
Put yourself in the position of someone who is literally learning, you are like nothing in the field right now... You are showing potential by having a good GPA, but this is part of development, not something you are
hmm, not really any mods online @twin ridge? Sorry for the ping, but this seems to be pushing it for rule 1 here
He probably needs some psychological support, that's very clear...
Bro I tried to get a mod in the first place
But just to give a clear answer. I'm a pro boxer and black belt at bjj. 
Pretty toxic.
says the one that got banned from HTB 
:mute: a_sec#0 has been muted.
lmao
all I want is just some peace and quiet but no, people gotta stir up some shit
People are dumb
omg I love this server sometimes ๐คฃ the "suck your own"

So,Whats the first step to learn ethical hacking?
You buy a dark hoodie with a certain destructive Linux command on it and then you sit behind a dark room and go hackertyper.net
I recently just got VIP and it's been a while since I did the enumerating and breach AD networks.
To do this order and to get the most out of it, what is the best order to do the rest of the paywalled networks?

I guess this post will be a LFG related post..
I am just wondering if there is any scandinavian people, more specifically Denmark. Im wondering if people from this area is willing to some KT? It always good to share info around, and get to know new people.
Hey, feel free to DM me
Hello nice people. I've been trying to subscribe to Premium for several days now. My card keeps declining and I've been on call with my bank for half an hour now. I need to contact the vendor to get this taken care of but before I do that, anyone have any advice for me?
Doubt anyone can help with payment issues here, just contact support@tryhackme.com
That was my fear, wouldn't exchange sensitive info on Discord anyway lol. Just frustrating yknow
Yeah, hopefully you can get it sorted out soon
Thank you, appreciate it!
The same thing has happened to me for the last few months, living in Bosnia, it could be that this has something to do with it.
I live in Canada so I found that to be less plausible but hey. Maybe thatโs what it is.
I had same issue but i have apple card so i was able to manually verify that it was me who made the transaction
Help you with what exactly? Such a broad request is unlikely to provide the best results
For ethical hacking, #start-here
am a beginner i may not explain well but the task given to me was to transfer money from a fake bank account
i was provided with the bank account and a virtual machine
I think thats a task on one of the first jr pentesting rooms actually, if so then #room-help and explain what room/task and your issue
ok
does anyone here work or has experience with a fibre internet service provider?
You've already asked in #cyber-and-careers, was this not a careers question?
I noticed that on the site, you can add people as friends. Anyone know if this has benefits, like what does this allow you to do? Out of curiosity
Just don't do @ everyone ๐
๐ณ
hiii
hello
well being a newbie is not that easy. it looks that this website is not for beginners
What do you mean by this?
If you're new, check out #start-here
We all have to start somewhere
If you have specific questions about stuff you donโt understand, I recommend checking out #room-help and asking questions. Itโs difficult for beginners i understand but thatโs how one learns and gets better
Check out the pre security and complete beginner path this was one of the first websites I ever touched and this website actually helped me land a role into an OSINT job working for a small PI company back in 2022. This website is very beginner friendly and for the price it teaches a lot plus there is a beautiful and wonderful community here to help ๐
what is that man ? ๐คฃ
A British server I presume ๐
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP

it would be help for xss i guess
Hey everyone, I'm interesed in starting to study hacking. What do you recommend to get started, and do you honestly think it's worth it?
to get started , thm is a good path , i guess
Ah ok I just saw that ksksksks sorry
Hummm, see, I literally dont know anything about hacking yet, would I be able to use this platform?
Thankss, I will take a look
This platform has rooms teaching you the basics of hacking and other fundamental rooms about the fundamental concepts and technologies you will use for hacking
Nice, and that server can also help me become an expert hacker?
the only 3 thing that will make you an expert hacker is motivation, knowledge and experience.
but where can I get this knowledge? Here?

Nah it's from HTCPCP
This document describes HTCPCP, a protocol for controlling, monitoring, and diagnosing coffee pots. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
I believe there was an extension for teapots: HTCPCP-TEA
The Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP) specification does not allow for the brewing of tea, in all its variety and complexity. This paper outlines an extension to HTCPCP to allow for pots to provide networked tea-brewing facilities.

hey guys, as I am a beginner in hacking, I am studying about operation system to get started
please let us know , what we can do about that?
I'm just saying cz I got excited haha...
๐ cool , i think the previous message , it seems a bit rude . apologies for that
don't worries! ๐
cool what's the plan today?
same goes for me , the work is like remote job or something ?
not yet, it's in person, but we'll start implementing home office later this month. what about yours?
do you like your job?
already into remote .
yes i do
and what are you currently studying?
Nothing special , doing research .
got it
I am from India.... Actually I am facing some issues regarding TRYHACKME vouchers....
My debit card got declined many times....
How can I buy try hack me premium???
you can get banned if you spam like that.
You should be getting an SMS or something in your bank's app for the reason of failure. Check it out, probably ECOM Txn. or something similar and get it activated/enabled by your bank
im just getting in this field .... where and what should i start with
#start-here <- look there
I expected to receive an SMS from my bank but it never came, which resulted in my bank not authorizing the transaction. Reached out to support via email and currently waiting for that (I don't know how long it will take until my issue is seen by a person...)
mail to thm email
i have mailed support@tryhackme.com, is this not the right email address for such things? i did that on the 9th of september (this monday)
If you are talking about OTPs, you need to check with your bank.
Also, there's an option for PayPal too if that works for you
@brisk folio
It's correct
OTP over SMS is bad, and we should collectively stop doing that
huh? what's better/safer?
Oh, yeah those. But the banks need to support this first ๐
They need to stop rolling their own garbage first
Yep, that too. legacy stuff going on
can you guys do me a favor? just list me some forums that are active in penetration testing, prev escalation or bla bla .
telegram groups and discord channels are also welcome
Please any one can tell me how to start cyber security from 0 or scratch , I am new in this field please guide me
This one?
i mean kind of website like threads like things. like it was exists alot in 2021 .
but if you have some listed discord groups they are welcome as well.
Have you looked at the resources in #start-here ?
Telegram and discord server invites will get a user muted.

man so i did messed up with a mod ๐ฅน help me brother help me
btw how does the mods works? i mean how someone can be mod? or someone can get orange from blue?
Members get voted to be a community mentor
Then mods are usually voted from the mentors
Members who ask for either are automatically excluded.
I was in this server for 3 years before I was nominated for mentor, then about a year from mentor to mod
man ๐ i am like a child front of you
How long have you guys been studying or operating in this field?
3 years studying.
But I've been actively hacking for over 20.
it really depends, i driven from 2019 but i was not focused cyber security as first priority.
i just get started recently, still now practicing well .
How did you start hacking before studying?
Trial and error, met the right or wrong people.
Self learning
humm
By studying, I mean I'm in Uni
ah ok, by studying I meant like, just making researches by yourself, you know? studying it by yourself
what if i change my name โน๏ธ and swap your name and add the blue shield as well?
then it is not a vulnerability then? ๐
I think the more you ask, the worse it will be haha
Your user id won't change.
lenme try, don't ban me . i will switch back soon
yes the shild collor doesn't change
@south inlet What certs can be added to your discord profile, is there a list?
hi i' m from Ghana
I'm not sure if there is a list, but you'll need to provide your certification I would imagine to be assigned that role.
There is, but it's hard to screenshot because it's multiple pages
Is there a link to it maybe?
hey im new here can someone pls tell how can i learn actual ethical hacking online?

Hey, i am having problems connecting to vpn. i can load 10.10.10.10 and see the flag, but its doesnt show as connected on THM website. Help pls
Hey there anybody help me to make a persistence script for android reverse shell?please!!
What for?
So long as you can reach 10.10.10.10 and it shows you your tun0 IP, you're good to go.
Android reverse shell,,i made this reverse ehell using metasploit,,i need a persistent script for continuously gainning acces my victime phone,
Yeah, this would be illegal, you won't find help here.
I know i wanna make this rat just for. Educational purpose,
Absolutely not.
RATS are illegal,.should not be used for "educational purposes".
Blackhat stuff isn't excluded for education.
If you have no idea about rats,,malware,,exploit,,virus,root_kit,,than how to stop attack from a attacker?๐
You don't need to know how to build them, to stop them.
If you wanna become a professonal ethical hacker,,i think you should learn everithing details๐
Android reverse shell,,i made this reverse ehell using metasploit,,i need a persistent script for continuously gainning acces my victime phone,
Yeah, this sounds like you're trying to attack somebody, you won't get suppor.
o yes o yes
people aren't here to write exploits for you, or to tell you how to abuse targets. This is for cybersecurity education.
HI there, please don't mini mod
i bought tryhackme for a year, have been learning on and off for a month now. how long would yall say its gonna take me to actually break into something for real and not on the website
didn't see it that way.
Cyber security is all about learning, research and constant reading.
You'll only get out as much as you put in.
i take in all this knowledge and try to remember all the rooms, but its so much its like its going in one ear and out the other. is it important for me to remember basically everything from the beginner rooms?
repetition is the key to cementing stuff
No, taking notes is key.
You will never remember everything about Cyber-Sec.
lol and yeah having a good set of reference notes
thankyou i didnt even think of that
To indirectly quote Muiri
Taking great notes is essential, you should never have to solve the same problem twice.
also ik this isnt the right channel but how many years of experience is normal to get a well paying job in cyber security
Heh
Depends tbh, there are tons of factors that go to this. Salary negotiation, the skills you bring into the table, and the job market are just some of it
honestly needed to hear this. I used to take a lot of notes when I started. After it became mundane I stopped and have had to constantly look up terms, which would be a faster process if I could reread the information in my own words
100%
You have a higher chance of remembering something if you wrote it.
Handwriting is even better
hello
at that point id just make some flashcards and ingrain it into my brain
i agree with u
I'm trying to pay for the premium subscription on TryHackMe, but the payment won't go through. It says that the card issuer won't allow the payment. I've tried multiple cards, all of which normally work on other platforms. I even tried PayPal, but no luck. I was wondering if this could be related to the TryHackMe platform? Has anyone experienced something similar?
call your bank
You should contact support
Huh, well the email is support@tryhackme.com
Hey guys just thought of dropping this piece of advice that has been working out for me in massive ways to my and fellow friends here ๐๐๐ง๐๐ณ๐ณ
Stay positive and keep pushing! Itโs all about staying focused and regrouping. You just need too find a method that works best for you even tho you are doing it and it's not working out the way you planned or you have a store and ain't making any from it yet or you are just planning to get started but you feel so scared of losing just find the right people that you know that have been successful in this to guide you you through and it gonna work. Believe it's possible and you are half way there. Peace be onto you๐๐
Hey team! Happy Saturday!
Happy Sunday!
@ruby flicker @long rune use #bot-commands for pings
Please make sure we are pinging moderators for users breaking the rules ๐
I didn't know they were breaking the rules, I was tell them because it's annoying ๐
โTellingโ someone to do something usually should be done by a moderator. If someone is doing something that annoys or makes you uncomfortable, feel free to let a moderator know ๐
I feel as if these rooms, they teach you what to do when your in the Network. How do I learn to break into the Network? I'm also confused on how do people break into Networks Remotely from across the country lol
I'm going to go to my Local Coffee shop and fuck some shit up atp. jk๐
Poor joke ..
Thanks for letting me know. That's also something I need to work on
Gave +1 Rep to @south inlet (current: #1 - 2805)
