[rapid summit]

I have Canada socks.

[twin ridge]

Hoodie too but you can't see that

[rapid summit]

Well of course, why wouldn't you wear one.

[twin ridge]

Roots hoodies best hoodies

[indigo oasis]

I always thought they were called Top Gun shades lol

[quaint basin]

And here was me thinking those were Aviators

[visual breach]

some rooms have walkthrough vids that are not accessible if you're a free member

[indigo oasis]

That's the one! Aviators.... i like that more think @twin ridge just wants to rule the world imo 😐

[twin ridge]

They're officially called aviator shades but yeah sure

[burnt night]

Shakshuka

[patent gate]

😮

[scarlet moth]

I am gonna try to add dumplings to my stew thats in the crockpot

[burnt night]

It's glorious

https://girlwiththeironcast.com/shakshuka/

[scarlet moth]

I've been meaning to tri Shakshuka substituting polenta for eggs but haven't gotten around to it

[burnt night]

It'd be vegetarian friendly but I added chorizo

[indigo oasis]

Looks yum James!

[burnt night]

I'd highly highly recommend it

As a breakfast or brunch, or add a pita or crusty bread to make it a dinner

[rapid summit]

That's a great weekend breakfast

[crude ledge]

That looks like a really nice breakfast! I'll have to try that. My son would love it too

[short elk]

how do you eat that

if you don’t have bread for dipping

do you just mix it around

[rapid summit]

use a fork.

[burnt night]

@short elk

Spoon and fork

With crusty sourdough bread

[uneven oak]

Looks fantastic. Love shakshuka 🙂

[short elk]

o damn nice

just watched babish's take on it might give it a go sometime

[twin ridge]

James needs to stream a cooking show

I'd watch that

[twin ridge]

Probably is, but it doesn't redirect all traffic

Probably not, no

No

Just the THM network

No just THM

[burnt night]

The THM VPN only routes 10.0.0.0/8 over the VPN. It's known as a split tunnel.

[quaint basin]

You're fine connecting to anything you want over the internet. It only affects stuff going into to THM network.

[short elk]

yes

[pastel otter]

i wanna learn hacking

[daring rain]

Hi i have some problem
when i try with my laptop
curl -i https://www.airtel.in.s3.amazonaws.com/ -sk
result is "AccessDenied"
but when i am run this command in VPS
its give me "NoSuchBucket" i dont know why

[rapid summit]

Bread!

[uneven oak]

Big bread vibes in quiet convo

[twin ridge]

Mmmm, looks good

[rapid summit]

I’m fighting the big bread by baking my own ones ✊

[uneven oak]

Power to the gluten! Lemme know how it turns out

[rapid summit]

That’s 100% rye, so not really rich in gluten 🙂

[uneven oak]

Yeah? Cool

Rye is delish

[indigo oasis]

Looking forward to the end results Arhu!

[rapid summit]

Soon.

[uneven oak]

Oooo

[indigo oasis]

Looks amazing!

[rapid summit]

Let’s hope it’s sour/strong enough.

[rapid summit]

Oh yes it is.

[uneven oak]

Homerun!

[indigo oasis]

I think I'll attempt to make bread this week now....

[radiant jacinth]

now dis is a baking channel?

[uneven oak]

Imagine the amount of banana loafs thered be if itd pivoted like this at the start of lockdown

[rapid summit]

We have cooking as well.

[radiant jacinth]

Wow

What else we need

[rapid summit]

Telling teenagers to go and sleep. But we've more of that in general chat.

[rapid summit]

But we could add greenhouse and gardening stuff to the list if you like.

[latent sinew]

Personally, I'm looking into growing microgreens at the moment, since I'm living in an apartment. Any of you have experience?

[indigo oasis]

Yes please! I want advice on how to rescue my spider plant babies which are dying one by one 😭

[burnt night]

I want to grow a succulent or something at some point

[rapid summit]

I'm just waiting for the time to plant all the seeds i've ordered.

[indigo oasis]

I've bought my herbs and vegetable seeds I want to grow this year - I'm just wondering if I should buy myself a mini greenhouse

[burnt night]

I bought a bulbasaur plant pot

[indigo oasis]

Awww they're sooo cute! I saw one on this secret santa thing I did last year

[burnt night]

It was like £4

[indigo oasis]

I have no where to put it

my one spot I have on my desk is of the dead fred pencil holder 😐

[rapid summit]

I just got an ad for peonies.

[indigo oasis]

Well that's better than me getting ads about malware 😐

[rapid summit]

I think malware would take less of my money

And it was a welcome ad! You need to know about their latest arrivals

[indigo oasis]

the peonies?

[rapid summit]

yep.

[indigo oasis]

Ah

I don't now whether I like peonies or not tbh...they're pretty but hmm

[twin ridge]

Oof I'm so bad with plants... I've killed succulents before and I didn't know that was possible

[indigo oasis]

Hydra

The things you come out with no longer surprise me

[twin ridge]

.<

[indigo oasis]

It's like yh that's him

[twin ridge]

I had a spider plant when I was younger that didn't die

[indigo oasis]

They kinda grow like weed

But when I went to separate the babies into another plant pot to grow they're not doing so well 😦

[twin ridge]

Oh

[indigo oasis]

ty for your sympathy Hydra

oh...smh

[twin ridge]

I'm sorry, I can't help you much with that though

[indigo oasis]

I know but words woulda been nice Hydra! I thought we were friends 😭

you're like my age twin

[spark sun]

You aren't the only one to watch cacti slowly descend into the abyss

[twin ridge]

I'm not very good at words, sorry

[indigo oasis]

emojis?!

[twin ridge]

Blasted newfangled things ;)

[indigo oasis]

Lmao

[twin ridge]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Needs a mouse to select them, they're to slow :D

Well discord has the shortcuts I guess 🤷

[indigo oasis]

what kinda discord do you have that you can't go to the shortcuts and scroll through to select which one you want?!

[twin ridge]

Mobile for now

[indigo oasis]

Still the same!

[celest cairn]

@burnt night we gonna try to make some hibachi

[burnt night]

Oooh lawd

[spark sun]

those are some fine looking steaks

[cinder spoke]

Am I invited? 😄

[celest cairn]

of course bb

[quaint basin]

😢

[autumn trout]

@quaint basin @cinder spoke @half fractal I'm putting together a blog post path (like my free path) for extremely hard THM content, any suggestions? 🙂

[quaint basin]

Windcorp

[autumn trout]

Internal
Ra
Ra 2
Osiris
CCT2019
Set
Overpass 3
Year of the fox
Wonderland
Year of the owl
One Piece
Theseusu
Iron Corp
Windcorp

list so far

[cinder spoke]

that looks good. i would include borderlands in thre

and carpe diem 1

[autumn trout]

Done!

[novel edge]

i think overpass 3 is hard but not extremely hard

[maiden urchin]

Inoculation

Racetrack

[quaint basin]

Oh, Christ no. Overpass 3 is a solid medium. Year of the Fox is an easy hard. Internal is a medium, as is wonderland, and year of the owl, technically -- it was just bumped to hard

[maiden urchin]

Looking glass
Jeff
Misguided Ghosts
Anonymous Playground

[quaint basin]

One piece I don't think so, although I've not done it. Think it might have annoyed people more than been hard? Windcorp is also the series, not the room 😆
Otherwise I reckon that's a good list of the hardest stuff on the platform?
Jeff definitely. Not sure about the others there in comparison to the stuff on the list though

[maiden urchin]

Also Borderlands

[autumn trout]

so no internal, owl or wonderland?

Looking glass Jeff Misguided Ghosts Anonymous Playground
Inoculation[23:42]Racetrack

what about these?

from blackout 🙂

[quaint basin]

Owl possibly given it caused lots of people a lot of trouble, although it was designed as an easy

Jeff definitely

And Inoculation and Racetrack

[autumn trout]

lemme write this up

i'll ping u in blogging 😄

[maiden urchin]

Maybe Python Playground as well and Enterprize?

[quaint basin]

Oh, heck yeah. Enterprize

Python Playground was pretty good too, iirc

[maiden urchin]

We also have For business reasons

[autumn trout]

Inoculation

doesnt exist anymore?

or?

[quaint basin]

Oh yeah, that's the one Zay killed

It also had the LXD privesc as an unintended

[candid island]

year of the dog, instead of owl?

cause owl wasn't "extremely hard" not even hard if we remove the first gimmick.

[autumn trout]

hey!

whatever ya think 😄

im just building with the community

[candid island]

probably not only me. ur notion title is "extremely hard rooms"

[quaint basin]

Tbf even Yotd isn't even that hard

I've got a new one in the mix that's completely different

[autumn trout]

Sooo delete year of the dog?

[quaint basin]

I mean, I'm biased. If leggy suggests it 🤷‍♂️

[candid island]

wait i didn't say delete year of the dog i said to add it. but u can add both right in ur path?

[autumn trout]

i can do whatever i want

ii just want it to be hard

[candid island]

also what about ur flower/plant series muiririri?

[autumn trout]

its from a tweet i made the other day

hard content is hard to find on THM

so i wanted to highlight it

[steel plover]

hard content sometimes depends on the who is attacking it

[candid island]

oh that termack's room was hard as heck

[remote echo]

@autumn trout I don’t think internal should be on there it’s not hard even though it’s rated hard

[candid island]

in a cave?

[candid island]

internal was mayor's room right?

[quaint basin]

That, uh, really isn't hard 😆

[maiden urchin]

Yep

[autumn trout]

https://strawpoll.com/7j7152uh6

feck it

vote on it

[candid island]

probably but when i started and tried to solve one of ur of series.. i coudn't do it. Tho i probably can now.

[maiden urchin]

I would say YOTD is the hardest out of them in that poll

[burnt night]

Bee are used saying I'm an expert?

[candid island]

my vote was yotd

[burnt night]

I haven't done half those rooms lol

I don't think I've done any?

[autumn trout]

oh god

new strawpoll

[candid island]

none of them is illegal choice lmao 🤣

[autumn trout]

is James an expert

[remote echo]

Yeah and it’s far from hard

[candid island]

true.

both oscp rooms were pretty systematic.

[remote echo]

Just a bunch of brute force which is not what I think of when I think of a hard room

[candid island]

cries in muiri

[autumn trout]

internal isnt on the list btw

[remote echo]

If it doesn’t give me clinical depression I don’t want it

jeff was a good one. with that blind cron

[remote echo]

Tempus

[quaint basin]

Not sure about Anonymous Playground

[candid island]

i would rate ur openssl one as hard if the foothold were a little bit harder

[quaint basin]

Tempus Fugit though

[burnt night]

It was a meme of a box

[candid island]

u make good boxes soo 🤷‍♂️ who cares if it's meme 🤣

[burnt night]

I could probably redux it 👀

[candid island]

(add some htb boxes as well )

[remote echo]

Hard/ er was a hard one iirc

[burnt night]

The exploitation on that binary is actually documented better now, I think I had a positive effect on the infosec community in that way

[candid island]

u totally had. probably they made linpeas commits because of ur box rofl

[burnt night]

Linpeas flags it but the exploit isn't there

I found out after the box released that there was a rejected PR to GTFOBins that would have documented it

[candid island]

they actually did, the cannot read sudoers.d gimmick in ur looking glass i guess.. they actually created that feature after that

i don't remember it was looking glass or wonderland or umm alice?

anyway.. they totally read the .d directories now.

[burnt night]

Haha nice

[twin ridge]

@candid island it was the first Wonderland box

[burnt night]

Looking Glass actually. @twin ridge

The second.

[twin ridge]

the sudoers, but I thought he meant the openssl thing

sleep time

[burnt night]

That was Mindgames.

Or hackers. Different variations of the same gimmick

[twin ridge]

right

Mindgames that's the one

[candid island]

lol

Beee In a cave. do a vote for in a cave. I thought that was pretty tough ngl

is par's box released? the apt to root one.

[maiden urchin]

Nope

No idea what you even on about tbh

[candid island]

umm there was a box pars made the rating easy for the lulz. it has some php attacks first then docker to logs to docker escape to user then apt poisoning to root?

there was a box i swear. i am not drunk

[maiden urchin]

Nope

nothing

[candid island]

i forgot the name.

chicken was probably the name 🤣

[maiden urchin]

idk unless Muiri is making a Year of the Chicken

[burnt night]

Para had some Four Horseman themed boxes @candid island

Unreleased, haven't heard anything else about them

[candid island]

yeah it was not chicken

it was 'war'

[burnt night]

Yep that's one of them

I got some leaks in my dms

[candid island]

i solved it in unintended way 🤣

is it in the pipeline or not going to be released? looked pretty complete to me except for that unintended

[burnt night]

I haven't seen or heard anything about it

[candid island]

ok

[candid island]

gimme early access to ur boxes. ur boxes are and i am bored

[burnt night]

No

[candid island]

ok

[burnt night]

No one other than testers get early access

And they get reset before release

And don't get to compete for bloods

[candid island]

yeah i know

[remote echo]

its basically just a nasty challenge pars made because he hates society I dont think he has plans to release it rn

[half fractal]

[half fractal]

@autumn trout soooo
I wouldn't say anon playground was that hard, dave's blog would be a better fit imo but still would kinda question it.
But I'd definitely add tempus fugit durius and spring to the list.

[burnt night]

Spring was... in depth

[half fractal]

I reeeeeeeeally liked spring

[burnt night]

I tested spring

I regretted opting to test it, but it worked

I learnt something

I would also not be able to do it without having tested it

[autumn trout]

Added!

[burnt night]

It'd be cool to get these as a module or series IMO?

[twin ridge]

The impossible rooms series?

[burnt night]

These rooms are challenging. Some of the most difficult rooms on TryHackMe. If you're an experienced hacker and want to properly test your skills, try these out.

Skidy you can use that for free

[visual breach]

I love that there's enough content on tryhackme, that if you've done it all you are qualified under "experienced hacker"

[twin ridge]

If you're an experienced hacker

[steel plover]

with an impossible badge

[visual breach]

something like that?

[lilac kayak]

MY EYES

[steel plover]

@indigo oasis broke the top 50 for now, need more points to solidify the spot

[indigo oasis]

Eh!? What top 50?! Only top 50 I broke are my collection of shoes 😐

[steel plover]

but I beat your leveling

very competitive at that point and got bumped a few hours later

[indigo oasis]

What levelling?? You're 0xD.... I'm still far from hacker level 😞

[steel plover]

how many more points

[indigo oasis]

I am on something like 3280?

[steel plover]

how many to next level

[twin ridge]

go hack stuff, Quirky!

[indigo oasis]

@steel plover to 4000

Hydra I'm in bed!!

[twin ridge]

yeash that's a good idea

[steel plover]

800 points isn't too bad, we can race

[indigo oasis]

You know I fell asleep at 21:30 or something and just woke up

Blackdragon do you have another account???

[steel plover]

no, to 800 points

I could definately use them, that would put me around 44

[smoky mortar]

Try the Cyber Defence learning pathway: https://tryhackme.com/path/outline/blueteam 👌

[indigo oasis]

But I don't understand how are you saying I'm beating you?!

I am so confused right now. Are you drunk ir anything??!?! Or am I dreaming?!?

[steel plover]

you get to your next level, I get 800 points

or you can set the target

[indigo oasis]

You mean the higher I go up the higher you go up!?

I feel like I'm having a really really dumb moment here

[steel plover]

no, trying to incentives you to the next level

[indigo oasis]

Lol don't worry I got this! Just this week is super hectic at work

I'll be finishing late in the evening this week 😭

[steel plover]

I have a pretty set schedule luckily

just by the time I'm done with work, my computer is often the last thing I want to be on

[indigo oasis]

My schedule varies weekly and the next few weeks are going to be crazy. I just need to reorganise it all. I may just wake up earlier instead and start work at 6.30 so then I can do THM and studies after work

[burnt night]

Rather you than me.

[steel plover]

how are your studies James, have you moved past archaic routing protocols

[burnt night]

Never

[celest cairn]

rip ftw

[autumn trout]

Lemme ask them :))

[quaint basin]

It's unlikely to happen -- most of them are already part of other series and I know Skidy doesn't want to mix

[autumn trout]

I don't care if it happens, I just make suggestions based on what I see the community wants :))

[burnt night]

Then a module works IMO

[quaint basin]

That could do it 🤷‍♂️

[visual breach]

just finished seasoning a chili I made for some friends coming over today. First time trying to cook anything without a recipe (just some general ratios in mind). It seems to be pretty good. Wife is making chicken pot pie as well, so should be quite a feast.

[indigo oasis]

That looks delicious @visual breach enjoy!

[visual breach]

5lbs beef + some various dried beans, water, 3 cans of fire-roasted tomatoes, 1 onion, beef boulion powder, and spices.

[indigo oasis]

I love free hand cooking, they always come out the best imo

[visual breach]

I am super new to it. Spent all last year learning how to do the basics and did lots of baking (1 new recipe a month). This is only like my second time making chili ever. Paprika is your friend is what I learned today.

[indigo oasis]

Awwww well done! And yes paprika is your best friend in these kinda dishes. What is the best dish you've made so far and best bake too?

[visual breach]

lets see. I found a fantastic recipe for a japanese style fruitcake which we all love. I'd say one of the current highlights is I have mastered the garfield lasagna from "binging with babish". My personal favorite is still the chicago style deep-dish pizza.

oh, and we don't buy bread anymore because it's so easy to make it at home (we invested in a stand mixer)

[spark sun]

If you can, get the Rotel's diced tomatos. Highly recommend.

[indigo oasis]

I have no idea what the garfield lasagne is so will have to look that up! Was the Japanese fruitcake a free hand recipe or something you found online?

Stand mixers are life!

[visual breach]

https://www.tasteofsouthern.com/japanese-fruitcake/print/10118/
yeah, rotel saves a lot of time on seasoning for sure.

@indigo oasis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkWmK-cplV4&t=273s

I don't make the pasta though

[indigo oasis]

I really want to make home made lasagne

[spark sun]

Binging with Babish is my go-to for things that look awesome but i probably wont' make

[indigo oasis]

Thanks for this I might attempt this too!

[visual breach]

that lasagna is totally doable. I do the bolognaise in a crockpot, then assemble, cook, and done. It uses almost exactly 1 box of noodles and 1 container of ricotta and leaves some bolognase juice leftover that my wife makes into a very tasty biscuits and gravy (already seasoned). It's not like the normal thing, but still good.

[indigo oasis]

I find that making things with leftovers is fine! Food is something that always should be experimented! i'm always trying random recipes

[visual breach]

wife freezes the bolognaise juice until she's ready to use it. She's also been into making lots of freezer meals this year and they've all been spectacular, but then, my wife is a very good cook

[indigo oasis]

Awww that's cute!

[burnt night]

I do my chilli without ratios

[uneven oak]

loosey goosey is my favourite kind of cooking

[burnt night]

Just a pack of mince, bunch of mushrooms, bunch of beans, two tins tomatoes, 1 stock cube of stock, salt, pepper, cumin, smoked paprika all to tadte

Smoked paprika is magic

[uneven oak]

Oh aye

So many variations too, levels to paprika for sure

[burnt night]

No seriously

Smoked paprika or bust

[uneven oak]

I think thats what i've got uno momento

Doesn't even say but the brand is Especial Del Sol and it was like 7 quid so it bloody better be smoked

I've always remembered it as sweet smoked but hmmm

[burnt night]

Mine is tescos lol

But it's niiiice

[twin ridge]

I use beer in my chili

Stouts or porters work best, though a triple or brown is also good

[burnt night]

I tend to use the beers for a stew instead

[twin ridge]

Peppers are indispensible in Chilis imo

[burnt night]

Ruby ale, guiness, or a porter are my go to for it

Like bell peppers?

[twin ridge]

And hot

[burnt night]

I'm super jealous about the US peeps being able to get the nice smoked and dry peppers because hmmmmmmmm

[twin ridge]

I also like corn

I have some dried peppers from Réunion lying around

[burnt night]

I can probably find some from an online speciality store

[twin ridge]

Jalapenos should be easy to find

If basic

I usually sweeten my chili a bit with maple syrup (not a lot but it helps counter the acidity of the tomatoes)

Brits must surely have a better choice of spices than France though...

It's a miracle if I find anything spicier than salt here :(

And the bars here have never heard of suicide wings :( or deep fried pickles

Or potato skins

[indigo oasis]

Hydra do you live in a village?

[celest cairn]

petition to rename to food-channel

[rapid summit]

What else would you need than salt, when you have French food 😉

[indigo oasis]

More spice?

[rapid summit]

We have hotter stuff in regular stores than I could handle. A typical supermarket has a shelf of chili sauces.

[indigo oasis]

Hydra wants more spice in his life!

[twin ridge]

I live in a tiny village

[indigo oasis]

Ah do you live near any cities? Because if you want more spices see if there's like an Asian shop around?

[twin ridge]

There's one in the main town but it's a bit far

About 40 minutes to drive

[indigo oasis]

Well if you ever go there check it out because you never know!

[rapid summit]

I got some Korean noodles a while ago. I haven't dared to eat the extra spicy ones. The regular spicy ones were the longest lunch I've ever had.

[twin ridge]

Yeah but they're closed during my lunch break

[indigo oasis]

Lol Arhu i can't even eat any kind of spice 😦

[indigo oasis]

Weekends?

[twin ridge]

I can get espelette peppers but those aren't that spicy

[indigo oasis]

How much more spicey do you want? Scotch bonnet?

[twin ridge]

Haha

They're less spicy than jalapenos

[indigo oasis]

Really? I found them spicier than Jalapenos

[rapid summit]

One of my regular stores has fresh Carolina reapers in their shelves.

and that's a regular supermarket, not a specialty store.

[indigo oasis]

Those are the spiciest right?

[twin ridge]

Those are spicy yes

Like 2M Scoville spicy

Or was it 20?

[indigo oasis]

Ouch that just made my stomach burn thinking about it

[twin ridge]

Yeah I ain't touching those

I like having tastebuds

[indigo oasis]

I die at the slightest bit of spice even my mum tries and fails lol. I get told I'm an embarrassment to Indians 😐

[rapid summit]

Not my cup of tea either.

[twin ridge]

Cream or yoghurt helps remove the spice

The spicy bit is fat-soluble

[indigo oasis]

Nope not for me lol

I can't eat spicey food at all.....can you imagine what my family gatherings are like for me..... It's like I'm the black sheep of food or something 😐

[twin ridge]

I'm sorry :(

[indigo oasis]

It's alright I got use to it lol

[steel plover]

but spicey foods are the spice of life

[indigo oasis]

I see you want me dead hmm???

[steel plover]

it wont kill you, you just have to slowly get used to it

although the spiciest thing I have had was a few ghost peppers

[indigo oasis]

Blackrdragon I'm Indian....spice has always been part of my life until maybe 5 years ago?

My body can no longer tolerate spicy food at all...even the slightest my nose is running and my ears are burning lol

[steel plover]

culture has nothing to with liking spice, I have known several Indians that did not like spice at all

I get runny nose when I eat spice often, sweating as well

[indigo oasis]

What I mean is spice is one of the most essential things in a South Asian Culture amongst other cultures too.... and we eat spicy spicy food everyday

[steel plover]

I know that, I love Asian foods

funny thing is the Indian restaurants around here have a spice scale that you can order from no spice to really spicy

[little pier]

the indian near where I used to live had 5 levels - no spice, swedish mild, swedish spicy, indian mild, indian spicy 🙂

[indigo oasis]

I've never heard of Swedish spice lol that's a new one

[rapid summit]

I know of a restaurant that has spicy levels up to at least 15. IIRC 5 is at indian spicy levels.

[indigo oasis]

Yh I know there's much spicier I think in South America?

[muted remnant]

@indigo oasis I can't live without spice..... I can't eat anything sweet... Like everytime a taste a sweet I generally tend to puke off

[rapid summit]

He who controls the spice, controls the universe.

[muted remnant]

Lollll @rapid summit

[twin ridge]

The Spice must flow!

[indigo oasis]

I've heard this quote from somewhere....I can't remember now though

Frank Herbert!

According to Google but I've heard it somewhere else

[steel plover]

it's from a movie I think

[indigo oasis]

I love sweet food! But then I do have a bit of a sweet tooth

[muted remnant]

I kind of guessed it

[rapid summit]

I've no idea if that line was present in Dune film (or the upcoming one), or the miniseries, but at least it's in the novel.

[indigo oasis]

It says it was in Dune 1984

[indigo oasis]

~~Because I'm super sweet?! ~~:P

[muted remnant]

Nah 😒

[indigo oasis]

Lmao

[muted remnant]

I mean 😂

[indigo oasis]

no no it's ok you've said it

[muted remnant]

No quirk... Your sweet

[indigo oasis]

too damn late to take back smh!

[muted remnant]

Hey people, I just started with tryhackme.com, and the Linux rooms is realy difficult, how you learn all that stuff?

I think I'm too stupid to learn all that stuff

[maiden urchin]

Not at all it's just practise

Just keep trying take a break if it gets too much but just don't give up

[radiant jacinth]

Thank you for the encouragement

[maiden urchin]

I recommend checking out John Hammond on YouTube to get the feeling of what you'll be learning and are there to help if you get stuck

[radiant jacinth]

Thanks I'll check it out

[indigo oasis]

@radiant jacinth check this link out. It is a cute little game but really good for learning the commands. This was sent to my by one of the mentors here https://cmdchallenge.com/#/create_directory

[uneven oak]

If I was gonna do it I'd probably be looking at a LAMP stack but I could be woefully outdated on that.

[untold bear]

theres a lot of variables to this tbh

[uneven oak]

Google is your friend my friend.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_(software_bundle)

Like I said I might be massively outdated as its been a good while since I've looked at any of this, but its an option.

[untold bear]

basic apache is yes, there's other variations and such etc

You could use python like you mentioned but I'm not sure what your websites for or what your end goal is

I'd assume so I don't know rust haha

https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch20-00-final-project-a-web-server.html

okay lets not code the webserver in C haha

That's a @tribal tide move

Exactly, glad you understand that

So what's your goal? Sorry. Not sure what your aiming for.

[odd acorn]

BTW Rovako, a lot of this information is on google 😉

[untold bear]

already mentioned :p

Yeah I'd say maybe try that rust article out?

[uneven oak]

Bit of a reach like jesus

[candid seal]

Hi everyone

[untold bear]

There's different stuff you could try to obtain your end goal tbh the possibilities are endless

theres always good ol python -m SimpleHTTPServer

[candid seal]

Can anyone just tell me which Linux is most secure to use

[dry aspen]

Qubeos

[candid seal]

Can we use qubeos as our primary?

[dry aspen]

I haven't used it so cant say

Why don't u pick ubuntu or mint for start as daily driver@candid seal

[odd acorn]

https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/best-linux-distro-privacy-security

[candid seal]

I think ubuntu is vulnerable to hackers

[odd acorn]

Why do you think that?

Do you have evidence to backup your findings?

[untold bear]

^

[odd acorn]

All operating systems can be vulnerable, it's mainly user error which makes them vulnerable

[candid seal]

I agree Wilbur

[dry aspen]

If u update ur os daily,,dont open any unnecessary port u will be fine Also cannonical firm is supporting that os

[odd acorn]

Many of TryHackMe's rooms are based upon user error and what can happen when you configure something incorrectly

[candid seal]

@dry aspen yes canonical is supporting ubuntu but why it is not shown as most secure is lists as qubeos I don't know

[dry aspen]

@candid seal pls dont send friend request :)

[odd acorn]

I would probably say it is because other operating systems are more secure
If every operating system was intensely secure, technically there would not be a non-secure one, there would just be others that are even more secure.
To add to that, Ubuntu is a very popular operating system and with more users there are more exploits simply because of the sheer amount of people.
While I do not also have evidence to back this up, it is still a reason for why an operating system may have been considered insecure, just means that more people are actively using it and thus more exploits are found.

[dry aspen]

Every distro works different,,qubeos was designed in order to enable work in compartments.Ubuntu is great as daily driver

[untold bear]

2021 is end of life for current version

You got it

Actually I'm new to this try hack me

Is it very useful

Good

I just finally ended in a right place

Paid subscription uhh?

[quaint basin]

Definitely not necessary if you're just starting out -- 80% of the content is free

[radiant jacinth]

Ohh good 🎉

[quaint basin]

A lot of people subscribe for that extra content (as a fair chunk of the paid content is the stuff that's been commissioned, rather than community created), as well as to support the platform

It also comes with a big speed boost for the boxes you deploy, and a much longer period of time with the AttackBox each day

[radiant jacinth]

Mmm

I'm from japan

You guys?

If you want u can introduce

[quaint basin]

Non-subs have 512Mb of RAM with 1 core on non-bumped boxes @rich oriole

[uneven oak]

I think the time to deploy is the same but much improved resources

[quaint basin]

Subs have double -- a gig of RAM with 2 cores

[radiant jacinth]

512 mb

Actually what are you talking about

[quaint basin]

Which is why most of the Windows content is sub only -- the boosts required to make it work are incredibly expensive

[radiant jacinth]

I don't understand

Not ram I'm asking about deploying

[quaint basin]

The time to deploy is literally just the time it takes to boot up the OS. Literally as if you were booting a physical machine on the same resources

[uneven oak]

Aye I'm with you, I was mostly speaking to that other kid but got caught up inbetween your responses aha

[quaint basin]

See the big green button in the rooms?

[radiant jacinth]

Yeah

[quaint basin]

That's essentially a link to AWS (Amazon Web Services). TryHackMe hosts vulnerable virtual machines in the cloud. "Deploying" is when you start them up.

[radiant jacinth]

Ok now I got it

We have to hack those vulnerable machine

[quaint basin]

Exactly

[radiant jacinth]

🔥 great

[quaint basin]

We use them to teach, as well as to put up challenges

[radiant jacinth]

Ok I understand now

That's interesting

[autumn trout]

emacs is so prettuy

[patent gate]

Hehe I remember emacs Tetris 😄

those were the days

[celest cairn]

i just had a stroke by looking at that

no wonder no one uses it

[twin ridge]

Heresy!

[autumn trout]

i do like it

im tryna learn org modde

and magit

"you're gonna need a good few years to understand the basics of org mode....." - actual quote from a video im watching

[twin ridge]

Yeah ima stick to vs code

[spark sun]

I only have enough room in my life for either vim or emacs.... I'll stick with VIM.

[bright heath]

hello

[rapid summit]

That makes sense - it’s hard to use both when you can’t exit vim

[spark sun]

vim is easy though

[autumn trout]

abour 15 seconds

im using evil mode

so

[rigid phoenix]

Hey, what's the difference between kali Linux and attackbox in the site, and why is attackbox the recommended way? Which one to use? I'm total beginner

[burnt night]

The attackbox is kept up to date, and is ubuntu based

You can use your own VM instead and VPN in which is what I'd recommend

[rigid phoenix]

Thank you very much my friend

[autumn trout]

evil mode is vim keybindings in emacs

so it took me about 15 seconds to learn hwo to use emacs

the command to open emacs isemacs

thats it

nope

its built in :))

https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs

If you want more IDE-like try spacemacs https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs

eh i just use vim keybinding and emacs tooling rn 😄

[visual breach]

why not just...you know...get an ide?

[meager trout]

Why can't I join broadcasts

[odd acorn]

You were told in #general you need to verify

[meager trout]

I did not understand

[rigid phoenix]

What's everyone's opinion on the 2019 Kali vs 2020?

[celest cairn]

2019.3, pre-non root user is my preferred distro, but a lot of things break now a days

[burnt night]

I'm on 2020.2 still

I don't notice much difference between that and 2019.3

[short elk]

anyone good with css here

having trouble with vmin

the font size is 10vmin which for some reason is very large here, and the width of the links is 10vmin too, which actually does look like 10vmin units

i think it's just because vmin acts differently for font-size vs width for some reason

[autumn trout]

guys update i can finally write markdown in emacs

its only been 2 whole days 😄

[indigo oasis]

Breakfast 😋

[rapid summit]

I think that’s staring at me.

[indigo oasis]

[indigo oasis]

I'm sorry Jakey.... You can have that in your mind!

[short elk]

i’ll go ask mum if she can make me a breakfast 😎

[indigo oasis]

Lol make it yourself!

[short elk]

i'm working

[indigo oasis]

So am I!

[short elk]

okay fine 😤

[indigo oasis]

Well done 🙂

Post pics

[short elk]

i made a bacon and cheese wrap

but i didn't assemble it very well and it broke :(

[cedar robin]

😦 hope it was still tasty Jakey

[uneven oak]

It sucks when food fails at the assembly part

[cedar robin]

I made a sponge cake a couple of weeks ago and when I took it out the fridge it faceplanted on the floor

[uneven oak]

Oh lord, that'll ruin ya day

[short elk]

it was okay

we didn't have any plain wraps so i used a tomato and something wrap so it was a weird combo

oh no tux

[stable dune]

All this talk about Scotland makes me miss my fam

Gonna have to make some mince and tatties to make up for it

[autumn trout]

I have now switched away from Emacs

[autumn trout]

Welcomee!!!!

oh i main neovim

i just triied emacs to see if i actually liked it

i had far too many problems with terminal emulation 😦

[quaint basin]

Nope

[scarlet moth]

I tried to learn emacs like 20 years ago and gave up

[twin ridge]

yeah it's the classic negative feedback loop

[timid peak]

Ayyy! Followed you on Twitter dude 🤙🏼

[timid peak]

Thank you!! 😀

[twin ridge]

I kept forgetting the keyboard shortcuts to quit emacs. Vim was easier

[timid peak]

Anybody in here using the new M1 Macbook chipset? I currently use the THM AttackBox for the boxes in there, but I've got a Kali box in AWS, just not sure how to download THM's OpenVpn and run it?

Just because VirtualBox/VMWare don't support M1 ARM yet

[rapid summit]

Parallels early access works ok.

Guest tools aren't available in it at the moment, but otherwise it works fine. Naturally running x86/x64 code is an issue with it.

[timid peak]

Do you have to pay for that version? Does it run Kali okay? Thanks dude

[rapid summit]

I think you can get a code for it from their website gratis. And my kali box works fine - but installing it can be tricky as offensive security does not provide installation medium for arm

[timid peak]

Ah okay. Kinda new to all this so I might struggle if it's not intuitive 😅

[rapid summit]

I'll look in a bit the instructions. It's mainly just installing arm debian, then reconfiguring it to use kali sources.

[rapid summit]

https://gist.github.com/warecrash/f35d4f9a822c452b0c54bbdb47c0c9a5

[smoky mortar]

Oracle is unlikely to entirely rewrite VirtualBox for M1 ARM. The only route seems to be VMware Fusion Player/Pro going forward.

[rapid summit]

in addition to parallels, that is. Their business is on Macs anyway 🙂

[spark sun]

i am seeing a couple articles that people have gotten QEMU/KVM to work on M1 ARM architecture

[smoky mortar]

Parallels is fine for a single VM, particularly for Windows, but is not a professional option compared to VMware which has support for many OS types.

[rapid summit]

A single VM is good enough for running a kali box locally.

[timid peak]

Thanks folks, I'll perhaps give the parallels one a go, that'd be cool.

[autumn trout]

is there a vim discord

im in an emacs one

but i want vim 🤷

[maiden urchin]

There is one which has like 300 members

[autumn trout]

ok

Binded to any key

pls help i've been googling for months

[steel plover]

vim is evil, who would want to make a discord for it

[indigo oasis]

[autumn trout]

pls

it takes me

10 key presses

to get a terminal

pls i beg u

i need a keybinding

but i cant fiigure out how to make it work

[indigo oasis]

I'm making a query on a random server I joined ages ago

[autumn trout]

a vim query!

[indigo oasis]

omg they so rude!

I got a bot command telling me they can't read minds lmao

[autumn trout]

ouch

[steel plover]

sounds like a dark saying

[indigo oasis]

oh wait i got something! Bee what is your query? I'll copy and paste it there

[autumn trout]

:tabe :term

As a Vim keybinding

I want to open a terminal in a newtab as a key binding 🤷

[indigo oasis]

ok i'll say exactly that

[quaint basin]

Vim is best

[steel plover]

nano to rule them all

[maiden urchin]

Nah you can use vim bindings in note takers just shows vim is better

Like Obsidian uses Vim key bindings

[steel plover]

it's just been around longer

[quaint basin]

And the fact that it's survived shows its superiority

[steel plover]

but its losing its popularity, it's not as easy to use

[autumn trout]

its not

https://github.com/neovim/neovim

41k stars

316 PRs

vim itself will probs die cause its just one maintainer who doesn't value new features but values stability and when he dies, vim dies but neovim is great!

also 22k stars on the official vim repo https://github.com/vim/vim

literally 2 people lol

[steel plover]

vi -> vim -> neovim

[quaint basin]

i.e. people are becoming increasingly moronic?

[indigo oasis]

Bee

[quaint basin]

Naw, Vim will be fine. As you say -- it doesn't get new features anyway

[indigo oasis]

they don't really have a clue - I tried but they're googling it lmao

[quaint basin]

Someone else will take it over, guaranteed

[autumn trout]

Bram literally said that when he dies, vim will die

they'll have to fork

[steel plover]

wouldn't say moronic, just a different generation coming up

[quaint basin]

And fork they will

[autumn trout]

bram himself sucks

the community is great tho

Bram takes peoples PRs and puts them under his own name so no one else can become a contributor lol

[quaint basin]

I mean, if people are switching to easier (and less efficient) options because they can't use the better software, that doesn't strike me as being logical.

The better decision would be to put the time and effort into learning the more efficient solution

[autumn trout]

its kinda like Git tbh. You can get by with using a Git gui, or you can spend a couple hours learning it and become very efficient with it 🤷

[steel plover]

I started in the command prompt with basic, both have gone to different usages since, the technology advances

[quaint basin]

Honestly I need to get better at Git CLI. I can use it fundamentally, but that's about it.

[autumn trout]

A lot of new CS Students don't become proficient with their tooling, which just makes them worse overall. You get higher ROI on learning your tooling than you do learning a programming language at a certain stage 😄 https://missing.csail.mit.edu/

^^ thats a good course on this kinda stuff

[quaint basin]

And sure, if the technology had advanced to be more efficient than Vim, we'd be switching -- but there are very few options that are more efficient than Vim

[autumn trout]

Free Git book https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2

[quaint basin]

Realistically the only way you're going to get close is if you're using another piece of software that has complicated keybindings that you have to commit to muscle memory -- which is exactly what people are shying away from using things like Nano and most GUI editors

Bee, that is superb, thank you!

[steel plover]

wow there is way more to GIT than I knew

[quaint basin]

It's an incredible tool

[autumn trout]

Read chapter 10 if you can, it goes into Git internals (called Plumbing & Porcelain) -- you'll learn so much

[steel plover]

I have just started to really scratch the surface of it

but I do have to say having the CI/CD with GIT on netlify was kewl, I didn't really have to tell it do updates it just did it

[autumn trout]

I highly suggest just random github open source work

you'll learn a lot from that

especially homebrew that repo is the absolute worst

if you can contribute 1 small change there no one will ever doubt your Git abilities

took me about ~3 months to get a PR merged after around 40 comments back and forth

the code I committed has a bug in it but I'm too scared to open another PR out of fear of them just bullying me into another 3 month long stint

That reply

[smoky mortar]

Is that from Bram?

[autumn trout]

Yup!

I'm reading the Neovim PR

They linked to this PR

where Bram just said, and I quote:

I find this offensive to females.

This deserves some more explanation, I didn't have time for that yesterday.
This pull request pretends to improve gender neutrality, but actually does the opposite.

Most obviously, it removes the statement of inclusion, that makes clear Vim was made for everybody.

More subtly, this change infers that using "he" when referring to the user means the user would be male.
This instantly creates a problem, instead of solving it. It teaches people one way of interpreting the English
language in a way that I find offensive. It's like two tribes living happily next to each other until someone
blows up a difference and causes the tribes to go to war.

Let it be clear: I am allergic to discrimination and injustice. I might be a bit sensitive about this subject.
I feel offended if people say something bad about text that was written with good intentions.

It seems that being a fork of Vim is causing pain to Neovim, especially as they have to re-base and edit code everytime Vim updates

Although this PR is bad on Neovim's side, but tbf it was 6 years ago https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/3610

anyway time for bed

What are folks feelings on learning Python 2? Had a look on codeacademy and they've got python 2 for free but 3 is pro, which is like £30 per month...

[uneven mist]

Python 2 is deprecated

If you can afford £30 per month it's worth it otherwise I would say learn python3 from YouTube a channel named thenewboston

Hahah

I got a 7 but only knew one person.

[burnt night]

I mean 4,5,6 are roughly what you'd get if you guessed at random

[flat nebula]

True

I do wonder what would be the average if you give this to random people

[burnt night]

About 5

Statistics innit

[flat nebula]

Idk, maybe there is something that makes some pictures look more "criminal" than other ones ?

[maiden urchin]

I got 8

[flat nebula]

People don't toss a coin to decide

[maiden urchin]

I mainly put the black and white pictures in serial killers

[flat nebula]

So the average could be different than 5

[flat nebula]

Yeah, I noticed me doing something like that too. The most colorful ones didn't look like serial killers

[maiden urchin]

Yea

[flat nebula]

Also the old lady tricked me, maybe old ladies look like .... safer

[maiden urchin]

When I saw her I was like there's no way she's a programmer

See the way they're not smiling with a background of nothing always made me think they were a serial killer

Probably best not to post that here

[flat nebula]

@rich oriole I'd have used the room help chat, but yeah there's no good way to find it

You can do grep

Or find and exec/xargs stuff

It's not good

[twin ridge]

Regex looks ok

I think a find with a -type f and non exec perms with an exec grep might be a bit faster

Not sure about the perms

I remember it taking a few minutes but not hours

[dry aspen]

@rich oriole try this command grep -r THM 2>/dev/null make sure u run this command on directory u think might have flag and start with THM

There's a room that you're sent to immediately on joining tryhackme if that's what you mean?

[terse frost]

I just dont want to bother people with my nonsense questions on the wrong room...

[burnt night]

As long as you do some research first, don't worry about that

A large chunk of infosec is research. Basic google skills go a really long way.

[terse frost]

Yes, i came here directed from the website

[burnt night]

I recommend taking a look at the channel names and channel topics (The text up the top in the channels)

[terse frost]

Check. Just started my dive into cyber security and im starting from scratch...
I was on the complete beguiner path and came across a huge doubt that i couldnt find a solution.

[burnt night]

If it's directly room related, there's #room-hints and #room-help

I'd also recommend verifying yourself with the bot, it gives you a little more trust in the discord

[terse frost]

Ok, room-hints, got it.
Whant do you mean as verifying myself with the bot?

[south anchor]

i am the same person recently removed from telegram group

please tell me why you are removed me

[patent gate]

Which Telegram group are you talking about?

[south anchor]

tryhackme public group that is the name

no use bye

[lapis dagger]

whats telegram

[patent gate]

It's a messaging platform. And we don't have a official group on there.

[south anchor]

its ok

[quaint basin]

@south anchor TryHackMe does not have an official Telegram group. Whichever group you were removed from is not known to, or endorsed by the company. As such, we aren't able to help you I'm afraid :)

[south anchor]

no problem

[patent gate]

Remember, when you deploy a machine, it's literally booting up a computer.

[inner osprey]

is it possible to add another category in the kali linux applications list ?

[scarlet moth]

?

[inner osprey]

when you click the applications tab on kali linux you get multiple categories like "password attacks" "wireless attacks"... i want to add another one for some other tools

[scarlet moth]

yeah there are some folders in kali where you can add stuff, google would be best bet for how to do that

[scarlet moth]

CyberChef or Ciphey

[autumn trout]

thanks for checking it out ❤️ 😄

yup!!!

your OS decides that tbh

i cant say 😛

if you do

where ciphey

it'll say

oh

when you pip3 install it

it says where the path is

and asks you to run the command

but its in the very long output

so most people dont see it

typical python LMAO

yeah it seems like it 😄

[north roost]

nowadays people rarely build tools exclusively by themselves because of the nature of open sourcing, workflow scripting is huge as everyone works differently

[twin ridge]

MMM chili

[digital lark]

hey guys, I want to explore more advanced concepts of anonymity, after hardening my VM, how can I deploy real life tests to see how secure it is? is there a TryHackMe version where I can safely invite people to try breaking into my own box and reporting what they find? I know this is the concept of bug bounties, but is there a smaller, community version of this?

[short elk]

throw a vulnerability scanner against it and do some manual stuff yourself

[burnt night]

Apple crumble, roast chicken

[uneven oak]

Exciting times! Looks peng, good work

[burnt night]

it doesn't come through so well int he photo, but the chicken had super golden and crispy skin

The white and dark meat were both moist and tender, I used Adam Raguesea's method where you score the legs and cook in the oven safe pan for 10mins with the thighs down to help cook the dark meat first

[uneven oak]

Sounds like the ideal chicken! I'm a fan of spatchcocking a chicken for even cooking but the method you described sounds good, will have a read up on that.

[burnt night]

It requires a decent size oven safe pan/skillet, I used my cast iron which was barely big enough

[uneven oak]

Aye ill have something no doubt I went through a period during first lockdown of acquiring various crockery haha.

[burnt night]

A good cast iron is a great buy. If you treat it right, it's like £15-30 that will last you your whole life. The older stuff has a smoother surface, but the new stuff works ok. The important thing is to properly season it the first time, and keep using it. And avoid using pointy metal things as that will scratch the seasoning

[uneven oak]

I've considered cast irons a fair but never made the plunge, I do like the idea of having a good pan that I tend to and hopefully keep for a couple decades.

Heat retention n whatnot Is meant to be insane with them too

[burnt night]

They're so cheap, compared to a stainless skillet

You can get a very heavy pan for a lot less money, so more thermal mass so more energy stored. Whacking a 500g steak in there won't bring the temp all the way down, that's one of the key advantages

[burnt night]

[twin ridge]

cast iron is (almost) cheaper than dirt

[uneven oak]

Yeah I'm always wary of loading pans too quick when I'm trying to get a good sear going

[burnt night]

I don't think you really have to be if you have a properly hot cast iron.

[uneven oak]

Consider me sold. Gonna grab that right now haha

15 quid man, can't go wrong

[burnt night]

There might be better ones, this was just one I found on Amazon before christmas

[uneven oak]

Honestly I'm just gonna ride this impulse

[twin ridge]

go for it

[burnt night]

https://www.seriouseats.com/2016/09/how-to-season-cast-iron-pans-skillets-cookware.html You'll want that link, most likely. Take serious care not to add too much oil, and it's gonna stink your house out

[uneven oak]

I was just about to ask about the seasoning bit haha thanks!

[twin ridge]

don't cook it too high either 😛

[burnt night]

A lot of the guides say as high as it can go lol

[twin ridge]

heh I've seen everything though

I don't think you want to burn the oil though

[burnt night]

SeriousEats say 240c/450F

[burnt night]

You say that, but most places say you do.

[twin ridge]

guess that means I did it right in uni then

[burnt night]

I'm just angry at my dad for using a carving knife and fork to move the chicken out of it, seasoning scratched now.

[twin ridge]

I had stolen my dad's cast iron skillet, and I think he stole it from his mum

[burnt night]

Another secret trick I've heard is fry some onions as the first cook @uneven oak. I don't know why exactly, but it's meant to be great. I loooove slow frying onions in my cast iron, lovely caramelised onions at the end.

[twin ridge]

hmm

[uneven oak]

Caramelised onions are good juju - sounds like I'm gonna be having myself a steak n cheese this weekend

[twin ridge]

mmm

[uneven oak]

Some cast iron fried onions n hot peppers? Oh lawd

[twin ridge]

first fry should be something pretty greasy

I use a stainless steel saucepan for onions generally

[burnt night]

I regularly cook my bacon in it, to keep it in use.

[twin ridge]

yesh

[uneven oak]

Do you cook your bacon on high heat? I've been doing it recently and enjoying the results

[twin ridge]

you want to avoid acids though

[uneven oak]

Was always a medium guy prior

[burnt night]

Generally very low, to get it crispy

[twin ridge]

I generally use medium heat

depends on the pan though

[burnt night]

Ah, that said I made Shakshuka and it went well. That was about half an hour for the tomatoes in the pan, even without a fantastic season on it.

About 3-4 weeks of regular use, that much seasoning

[lunar verge]

America's Test Kitchen had a great tip for bacon, start the pan cold, put in your bacon and pour in enough water to slightly cover the bacon. The boiling water will cook the bacon perfectly, and once evaporated, the fat will go crispy, and not dry out 👌

[twin ridge]

also heard don't use soap on cast iron

[north roost]

i've had to restore my cast iron due to some not very smart people 4 times now

one day Ill just ball out and go all copper

[burnt night]

Don't use real soap, dish soap (dawn etc) is all good. Don't soak. Soap with Lye in is off limits, that's where the saying comes from.

[twin ridge]

I need to find a new wok

[lunar verge]

A little bit of soap is indeed fine, maybe not even a pea size amount

[twin ridge]

fair enough

[uneven oak]

I'd like one of those wok burners they have in the restaurants

Them big old flamey boys

[lunar verge]

J Kenji Lopez Alt had a tip for that, if you have a gas hob already

[burnt night]

Or a blow torch if you want wok hei. There's an adapter tool for gas burners

[twin ridge]

yeah, I've got induction though

[devout scarab]

Or a traditional fire

[uneven oak]

Love Kenjis videos! Whats the tip?

[lunar verge]

I think it was removing the top portion of it. I can't remember the name, but it distributes the flame outwards, and evenly

[twin ridge]

can't have gas in my kitchen, as there's no possibility for an exhaust

[burnt night]

I think you can get standalone ones? I remember something about there being something because people were in microapartments and it was magic

[uneven oak]

Thats interesting, may give that a blast next time I'm making a stir fry. If you never hear from me again, I died in a gas explosion

[lunar verge]

This thing

[lunar verge]

Please sign this waiver first

[twin ridge]

might install a gas hob in the laundry room to use as a summer kitchen

[burnt night]

Interesting. My dad got a new cooker a while back, and it actually has a wok burner on it. Faaaaaar too hot to use for most things tho.

[lunar verge]

He originally posted the tip on his Instagram iirc, you might find it there

[lunar verge]

Uncle Roger would approve

[uneven oak]

Haha draining the rice oh my god

[burnt night]

I don't have a decent wok, my dad has a weird non stick wok but he mistreats his pans terribly

[uneven oak]

All this food talk has me hungry

[scarlet moth]

I'm making roasted brussels tonight

[timid peak]

Loving the food chat in here folks! I do enjoy pottering around the kitchen when I'm not trying to crack the basic THM rooms lol. Here's a steak I made the other night 😋

[radiant jacinth]

seems jummy

can I have a bite pwease

[autumn trout]

Let's try something

https://www.reddit.com/r/tryhackme/comments/l4asnx/tryhackmes_unofficial_cookoff/

[burnt night]

oh no

[autumn trout]

👀

[lunar verge]

Time to show off some dinner rolls 😄

There it is. Marvel in their shininess

[cinder spoke]

posted a pic of a recent pizza i made 🙂

[lunar verge]

That looks divine. What did you cook it in? It doesn't look like a regular oven special
