"Are they having someone who knows what they're doing test as well?"
"there is a person who works in the it that does tests"
That'll be a no then π
Accidentally
GideonTheNinth: wouldn't there be big privacy concerns for a student 'pen testing' a school place, for teacher and other student privacy reasons?
I still feel like this would be a massive concern
Imagine quoting yourself hahaha
You'd have to register with the ICO as a data handler I think.
it got pushed off the page of default screen size discord soon as I pasted it
Or processor, I can't remember their term.
What methodology are you following @rough rain ?
elaborate on methodology
πΏ
I would like to think that anyone who's providing penetration testing services for an educational body would know what a PT methodology is. π
popcornπ€£
(im actually eating popcorn)
I'm actually eating popcorn while watching this convo evolve
I'm eating raw GFUEL powder
dude chill im 16 im not a professional
I like eating protein powder tho
(nor is hugh)
yeah but this is my first pen test
I know, which is E X A C T L Y my concern.
Yo bro, im 16 don't flame me for not doing this brain surgery properly, it's my first time.
well either im going to court or not lets just make it simple
Don't do friggin brain surgery if you don't have a clue.
On the basis of this conversation
I imagine you'd be liable to be charged under the Computer Misuse Act 1990 and the Fraud Act 2006
It's not brain science or rocket surgery, I woudn't do a pentest on ur school with any contract if you're not working for a company. A company would actually know what they're doing legally.
If you like, I can ask a couple of my buddies at NCSC to look into it for you.
I'm sure they'd be happy to help get an answer here.
sure
i mean i doubt the police or whatever are gonna be concerned about a pen test that didnt do any harm
seems like they have worse things to worry about
Unless you do any harm...
You could be accessing records you don't have authority to view, GDPR
If you want to DM me some details I can pass them along
test information that hasn't been done yet..
yeah do it hugh im curious
other student personal data
which i would not access thats obvious
Have you read the GDPR?
Say you test a system that people use to access their school accounts that contain their data.
That system is knocked offline, but you don't gain any access to the data.
Does that constitute a GDPR breach?
i would say yes thats dos technically if they cant access there data i havent read it but ik about i
it*
yes?
Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability π
What I would suggest to you, is that you speak to your headteacher and tell them that you don't feel it's appropriate to continue with this exercise, and that as you are unable to make an assessment on any impact to systems thus far, you would recommend engaging a professional cyber services provider to help identify any issues that exist or may have arisen. π
okok i mean thats smart i dont wanna inflict damage
It's awesome that you're interested in this sort of thing, I know I absolutely was when I was in Yr11. Your best bet is probably to stick to things like HTB and THM for the time being. If you want to build a good looking portfolio, the OSCP could be a good place to start.
Is it good that I'm interested in cybersec at year 8?
OSCP is so expensive
The other thing is, for the record, if you do have permission but go out of scope or break something (even completely innocently due to lack of knowledge), and get prosecuted under the computer misuse act, chances are you're not getting a job as a hacker.
That kind of conviction is a bit of a red flag.
A CEH certification costs A$4999
ceh is not that good
Wave goodbye to SC clearance lol.
well ill speak to the head ik i havent done anything out of scope so i best end it now
In the US public schools are paid for through taxes but they are not owned by the DoEdu
Be a bit of a shame to screw up your career aspirations by making a mistake just now.
yes i dont want that
I'm not sure if the DoE owns them in AU, but I'd lean towards thinking that
does the same thing apply if ur testing on ur own stuff
Yes, as long as you don't let your youth and immaturity impact your decision making. Stick to THM, HTB etc, and don't decide one day "actually uploading cryptojackers to the pirate bay sounds like it would be a laugh".
Right, to clear this up:
UK. State school = government funded. Public school = privately owned. Yes, it's weird.
If you're testing on your own stuff (virtual machines etc), then its fine
We only have public and private here in the US
Charter schools are this weird quasi thing that shouldn't exist
Not if it doesn't affect anyone else and you own the stuff. I would suggest setting up a lab of VMs and doing that, or doing things like THM, VHL, HTB, etc, where the machines are provided.
It's public school because anyone conservative wealthy enough to attend is able to, whereas a private school, which is also fee paying, is selective about their entry requirements etc.
i have a few vms metasploitable etc and i also have try hack me and htb account
The caveat being the affecting anyone else. Things like frequency blockers / a lot of radio hacking are illegal regardless.
Yes our private schools are that mixed
Ohhhhhhhhh man
Do not even come CLOSE to messing with jamming of RF signals, even 'your own'.
thats how u have cars right u record rf to unlock doors
FCC will send in the swat team lol
You'll go from being prosecuted to ending up in some security service basement with electrodes under your finger nails
hack*
They do not take RF hacking lightly.
Did some say Signals and radios?
how can rf hacking be tracked?
The CCTV camera on my driveway
It's usually pretty obvious -- you're literally broadcasting your location and it's always monitored.
Yes it can be tracked because there is a giant black hole in the rf band on your location that wasn't there before
but at defcon people use rf to hack car doors how do they not get busted?
it's defcon, it has it's own rules
Pls don't smack me with the server rulebook...
Relay attacks are generally easier and less sophisticated than replay attacks.
Relay >> Replay >>>>>>> Crafted signals
Exemptions are given out are given out by the FCC occasionally as well if im not mistaken. These are limited
Short range radio frequencies aren't quite the same thing.
Replay attacks you'll probably have to fiddle with a nonce or a pad of some kind.
Although still likely fall under the same laws, granted.
Not sure on that one.
Either way, we're talking things like blocking radar.
The FCC only becomes involved in the case of any jamming or RF over a certain power output
You also need to remember that you need a HAM licence to broadcast, and even then you're only allowed to broadcast in a specific range.
Things like replay/relay on a small scale I believe you're allowed to mess around with, although tbf, all hacking is a very grey area
in mr robot elliot uses the sound jammer by producing white noise legal not legal?
Oh goddammit with the spoilers smh
Bro
My dude, if you're using Mr Robot as your 'how2hack' guide you're gonna have a real bad time when you find out that you can't use metasploit to hack someone's entire social media portfolio in one command
Mr.Robot doesn't air in Scotland, only "Still Game".
dude ik that mr robot isnt realistic thats why im asking
Also, uh, AFAIK it literally follows a black hat...
Virtually everything he does is illegal
well, he's also a 'security engineer' by trade
but seems to only ever actually work in IR?
grey areas again
Even if one law doesn't say it's illegal another law will be so broad that it becomes illegal
Exactly this. Hardly anyone is prosecuted under the Computer Misuse Act, because the penalties for Fraud are much greater, and nearly all computer misuse counts as fraud.
This is like "why" or "what if" with children lol
late reply ik but yes cuz social media is pretty hard the main way is really by phishing i cant think of another way to hack instagram considering the brute force tools dont work
Funny. Ours is called the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and has harsh punishments. Then you just get slapped with both lol
unlucky computer misuse act u will most likely get away with it just by chance unless u launch like a ransomeware locking hospital computers
from what ive read anyway
Australia has the Computer Misuse Act 2001, not sure what the punishments are though
i mean i dont really have experience with thatπ
pretty sure u can be thrown in jail for like 3 years if u get caught hacking someones wifi
It's more like 7 and then you're a felon
hello
only hello to the guys?
unlucky Zojja
It was capitalised, so perhaps only to people called Guy.
Do i buy a ticket to iceland π€
When would that be?
I guess itβs possible they lift some entry restrictions by then.
They seem to require a negative PCR and a few days of quarantine now.
Yeah i saw. I'd only be there for 4 days so ima wait
Remember that november is probably the darkest month in the nordics π
Yes i know. November was intentional
In Norway it wasn't intentional lol but this time it is
Iβm starting to feel like itβs spring already. Thereβs lots of daylight, and only 60cm snow π
I ordered a new bike, and would like to go kayaking already...
That's nice
I also signed up to a sailing course. Got to make good use of the short summer π
Iβm trying to find out π I think theyβd be bigger than that.
27β, they say. And on a lake.
Ah nice. I'm thinking about getting back into sailing but in bigger boats, 35'+, and on the ocean
My experiences from earlier have been passenger centric π
Yeah i was solo except for two times with the small boats
So the course is for h boats.
Let me tell you. Swimming a sunfish sailboat that's keeled over back to shore is not fun
π swimming an upright kayak to the shore isnβt fun, so I can imagine thatβs something different
It's so agonizingly slow lol. The sail is a huge drag
I'm a pretty strong swimmer and even I was dying by the end
H boats look fun though
Theyβre somewhat short on crews in the sailing club, so itβs likely one can get on board easily.
Well, the course got full within two hours of opening the signup, maybe itβs different this year
Job for hostapd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status hostapd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
who knows how to fix this i need hostapd for evil twin any fixes or alternatives
if you need help, you need to tell us what the output of journalctl -xe is
alls we can tell is the service failed to start.
Oooooo. Today is daylight savings
Today is the "(most of) US and Canada get out of sync with the rest of the DST world"
For a lil bit anyway
Yeah. It's a nuisance still, when you have meetings across the pond π
"Oops, it's at 5:30 this week, not 6:30" has occurred to me more than once π
y'all will catch up
We will, sadly. I'd rather get rid of meddling with clocks twice a year.
But apparently EU parliament has more important things to think about now that there's some pandemic going on π It would've been a great time to get rid of DST, with the number of flights and other travel between countries reduced and all.
yeah me too but it won't happen here
Who wants to try and crack my game to unlock it?
I wrote it
Simple substitute method will unlock it but you need to figure out where
In the binary
Contact me if you are up for the challenge
Call me Master chef
That looks uncooked...
We don't do this here, please refrain from asking.
Lol it is. It was before i put it in the oven
Just pulled it out. Passed temp, gonna let it rest and then cut it to double check
Big fan of cooking by temp for meat now, at least for larger bits of chicken or for steaks in a reverse sear
Yeah i always double check visually for chicken. Beef i dont really care but yeah
I am vegetarian 
The thermometer that I have I tactically acquired from Sodexo, when I used to work there
Iβm vegan, I use thermometers in some food items
Why are some people's faces so British? Like sometimes I'll just see someone's face and think "oh well they are British". For y'all who are British does the reverse happen when you see someone from the US?
Hmm, not sure what you mean by British faces..
I just saw a picture of Rob Beckett not knowing who he was or hearing his voice
I'm from the UK and I can't tell the difference half the time. Accents really tip me off, then again I am surrounded by (mainly) American media.
Idk it might be certain facial features. One of my friends dad was British and then one of my professors was Welsh and you could somehow tell before talking to them
Not the difference between Welsh and British though
Maybe you're a superhero.
Like here in the US I can't tell where someone is from until I hear their voice
In the back of my mind, I think everyone speaks English lmao, not something I know I'm doing.
Language.
Roasty veggies with lil bacon bits. Sweet potato, carrot, regular potato
Looks great!
Day 1 of diet: I am incredibly full and I've only had two meals and a snack as I woke up late. It's a lot of protein
What kind of diet are you following?
It's just what I had left in the cupboard lol
Hey, I think it's a hearty meal. Gotta use what you have left!
Casseroles are my go to when it comes to using left over ingredients
It's a "diet". I plan my workouts through the people over at Soflete and with the membership it has a meal plan. On workout days my intake is 2400 calories and on rest days it's 1900-2000
hello
Nice! I'm two weeks into my personal diet. It's hard sometimes of course.
That's this week
Cinnamon bun shakes? holy moly
i could never be on a diet so well done major respect
Yeah it's literally just vanilla whey protein and cinnamon lol
I often go for a shakshuka
Oh with oats and a little bit of vanilla pudding powder
mmmm Shakshukas
That reminds me, I should make some bread
What kind of bread?
The crusty bready type.
Lol
I put some water flavor stuff thats blue in my liter jug. It looks like I'm drinking windex.
I put a dash of lime juice in my glasses of water
I just drink water
bruh why does bcrypt take 14 days through all of the rockyou passwords
i mean secure i guess
Depends on the number of rounds, but it's literally designed to be slow on GPUs
Place where I interned had an absolute monster of a PC that they used to crack stuff
i only have a ryzen 5 cpu idek what gpu i have im on laptop not pc so not an rtx 3090π€£
I'm always skeptical of those subscription based meal plans. Are you liking it so far?
I didn't subscribe for the meals. I subscribed for the workouts as I need the structure and a majority are former SF. The meals seem really well put together though and if you don't like something you can look at list and replace it with something else
The "plans" also rotate and they add new recipes every once and a while. The person that controls the nutrition side is a dietician and from what I've seen the meals change depending on what goal you select and what you input for height and weight. They also have the option to put carbs forward or take a backseat
so, wanted to share something interesting in my life:
I watch a streamer on twitch who has a few thousand subscribers (probably 10k+ by now) and so I'm basically a face in the crowd. I have sent him money and gifts occasionally, but he still struggles to correctly pronounce my username which establishes how well he knows me from every other face in the crowd. Anyway, he suddenly started private messaging me and started a political discussion with me. It was seemingly out of the blue but I LOVE to argue, so I really enjoyed it. We've been going back and forth for a few weeks here. We're on the opposite ends of the aisle politically, and both of us would probably be called "extreme" in terms of how FAR opposite we are on the ends of the aisle. The discussion has been really great and very fruitful. I think we've both moved a bit more toward the center throughout, but more importantly we've both gained a lot of perspective and it's been really pleasant. Managing to have a productive, polite discussion with someone you disagree with so vehemently is something I really like about the internet. Just wanted to share.
I thought I was reading a love-story, I was not disappointed.
It's good to hear about people learning and understanding from each other opposed to just digging their heels in more like usual 

r/interesting 
I also thought this was going to be a love story but great ending regardless haha
I never thought I'd be someone to send money to a streamer until just recently. For the longest time I couldn't understand why anyone would do that but I get it now. I've watched this streamer, Jerma, for the longest time, for years, and it just hit me the other day. The guy has thrown me into a fit of giggles through my high/low points throughout my 20s and it has blown my mind.
i just like giving away my Bezo bucks to random streamers, as of late I think im on auto-renew for nahamsec
lol I want to be at a point in my life where I can just throw a couple hundo to someone. One of Jerma's subs donates 1000 every so often.
@timid badger Did you really just post a link to a potential virus in a Hacking Discord?
Looks like James is talking to you about it in general
he kills me.
I used to be on the Jerma train pre disappearance/break
Then life happened and I kinda drifted away from the channels I watched pre college
@meager mason bred
looks like bred
Really? Looks like a spoon to me?
The bread is vegan.
i lov homemade bread
bred :D
Don't you remember? "There is no spoon"...
Agreed! Makes the whole house smell great...
Hey everyone! I'm completely new to ethical hacking, and I'm hoping I could start learning from the community.
give this a read if you need some guidance on where to start / how to progress
Sure thanks!
Globo gyms are weird
?
π π
So we ask that you keep this sort of thing to the malware specific channels, which you will need to verify and achieve 0xD on the site, throwback, OSCP, or eCPPT
I've been at the gym
Best workout I've had in a while
Takes about a hour and a half if anyone wants to do that. It was pretty brutal
Hackenschmidt, is that a derivative of the Messerschmitt? π
I have no idea. I speak German and nothing really came to mind lol
Hacken is to chop but Schmidt is just a last name lol
It's a former world wrestler I think, but the latter is a german world war II fighter plane. π
Yes MEs were absolutely terrifying and effective in the war
We're lucky the 262 never entered full production honestly
Yeah i just got off a strength cycle so now it's about fixing some imbalances and then increasing muscle mass to burn more calories
Once this bodybuilding cycle is over I have another strength cycle called Freight Train
Serious business.
Yeah I'm tired of being out of shape. I've always been able to get by but I want to push myself to see how far I can take it
That's good. Being healthy in Mind Body Spirit has so many benefits.
Yeah i want to go to the doctor and get a full battery done just to see what I'm working with
Yeah ive always felt something was off but I want to know so i can work around it or power through it
Thank you!
sausage filled crust is the best and i'm not taking any questions
Like hot-dog or?
I realise you said no questions but I'll probably agree with you if it's hotdog
yessssss
Yessss
pigs-in-a-blanket?
is there a badge award for top monthly hacker per county or is it just the world?
The world.
Whistler, Canada has some of the best sausage rolls I've ever had. I'm drooling just thinking about it....
@sullen wasp mind if i dm? π
sure
mfw unironically never ate hotdogs in my life π¦
I am not a hotdog fan, but brats or sausages are much better
best opinion ever ^
crab sticks?
The imitation crab, marketed as "Krab stick" as one example brand
those are the synthetic seafood-like protein chunks right?
most are usually some white fish
for our non meat eaters I did find a recipe that uses hearts of palm for a crab substitute
imitation crab slaps

nahhh
.

don't forget to add soy sauce
Yep, that's out of frame
I don't have a soy sauce problem, I have a soy sauce solution.
last time I bought soy sauce, I could only find the low sodium option
nvm, currently it's normal, must have been the last gallon, I go through too much
I did not know that came in 2L jugs...
I think costco?
I can only find the tiny variants
I but mine a gallon at a time and use the smaller bottle for regular use
Monsieur, zis is France! zere iz no Coste Co here!
do you have "bulk" stores
only available to restaurant owners
You can only find foie gras in large quantities.
oh yeah you can get foie gras in 2 kilo blocks....\
I think I have 4 or 5 bulk outlets near me
Sail over and we'll party
you may have to do that in the dark of night to avoid restrictions or did the UK loosen them up a bit
Nah we can do it outdoors socially distanced if it's also exercise
But end of march you can socialise outside up to 6 people or two households
getting there slowly, locally they have posted case count and now they are adding vaccine count
Sign me up
With a 2L bottle of Sauternes

Now we're talkin'
I like to get the spicy tenders from popeyes and make a famous bowl
KFC were doing 10 mini fillets for Β£10
Dude, why.
Because umami
Real recognize real, lol
I'm just a 1.2L scrub though
smh I thought everything was bigger in the US
lol, not our fridge that's for sure - the 1.9L would be a tight fit (but it is available here)
however, this is also surprisingly affordable at $29.49 each, dropping to $28.10 if you buy in lots of 36.
I don't even know what I'd do with that much
drink it.
I can't imagine a non-commercial use case for that besides deliberately inflicting hypertension on yourself, lol
no other purpose. Just drink it.
Bathing?
Staining
I too buy my soy sauce by the pail
Is that pail of soysauce available in low-sodium?
Probably
Yes it's on Amazon

i get stuff like that because i intentionally donk up my searches
anyone else have ever received messages on tryhackme website from a user called ajaybhogde, saying that u got a Unique Opportunity or something?
what was that supposed to be 
Mind sending me a photo of this please? I'll forward it to the appropriate people
sure
yeah, seems legit tho
found his linekdin lmao
idk for sure, so it looks like a real pentesting program or something
interesting 
π
Yeah! exactly! Ingrids is amazing. I stuffed my face everyday with at least something from there lol
The schnitzels man!!! Omg you're gonna make me book a flight out west. I lived there for two years before school! Best time ever
I would have loved to live there. It's graduation present to myself actually. Though I want to go in the summer this time so I can paddleboard on the lakes.
Paddleboarding on Alta Lake is beautiful. Lots of crazy homes you can only see from the water, highly recommended!
Bruh lost my 17 days streak because of school

don't think that's gonna work very well

Before glazing.
I thought those were bagels for a second
process is a little different too
ik ik just joking. I've only ever made plain bagels with nothing special and apple cider donuts.
they both came out...I mean okay
they were okay lol probably user error
Final product
No, just doing it for fun π And I don't make cakes that I like to show publicly.
I need to get some yeast
BwB made bagels and Idk if it's worth it
It's like when he hand made soba noodles

I try really hard and yet every utensil imaginable is either misplaced or used somehow during the cooking process
Any recommendations on resources for studying CTF-scope binary exploitation?
Being Heaps, Stacks, Shellcode, Return Pointers, things like that

does the standing part work
Yea I have it set for sit or stand. Can take a pic of standing if youβd like! Keyboard is a custom built I made a year ago. Gateron yellow switches with some basic keycaps, db60 pcb, and a bamboo case from novelkeys.
I want a standing desk sooo bad! but I don't have that kind of money.... I made a hairpin desk out of an old table from the backyard a couple months back though! It'll do for now π«
Believe in the Spacefrog that I believe in! tbh I don't use it as much as i thought i would/should lol. it is very nice to have tho
I had one prior to COVID in the office. I mainly used it when I was stuck on an issue because for some reason my brain thinks if I stand/fidget I'll come to the answer faster lol. This is what I have currently, I never made a desk before so it was an interesting experience!
the only time I would stand when I was working in offices was to talk to the guy on the other side of the cube wall
i understand that! i feel like im better at rocket league when im standing lol
I also think I'm better at rocket league when I turn my switch as if it were a wheel lol
nice setup looks smart af
thank you!

Not sourdough is it?
Not this time. Sourdough would've required a bit more time π
I have no irl friends to share this with but
Long story short I used to struggle with mental illness a lot and dropped out of high school because of it. Now I'm 22 and back on track and I just got accepted to University for IT & Networking!

thank you
Hayden that is fantastic news. Thanks for sharing that with us and I wish you all the best with your studies in University! When you get a moment, shoot me a DM if you wouldn't mind (:
Yeah, I guess there's not much. THM has an intro to buffer overflows room and there's the one from TIber3s, but I think that's about it. I am trying to get good at Binary Exploit, and I was thinking once I am good enough maybe I'll make a few rooms. That's probably down the line though...
Hi friend, what Ninja posted looks great, I think I will look at this myself. Live Overflow has a good playlist on YouTube, I've gone through most of it, and it's very good. Georgia Tech also has some free resources from this class: https://tc.gts3.org/cs6265/2020/info.html
yoyo
new desk build.
hi
Hey
They left
Oh rip
Bye
i think ur mouse is on the wrong side but otherwose it looks productive π do you have to crane your neck to read the monitor however?
left hand problems
as a left hander i still use right hand mouse lol
π€·ββοΈ lefty here too
As a right hander I'm still salty af at my kindergarten teacher
did you get beaten up for being left handed?
I was ambidextrous and could do both perfectly but was pushed into only choosing one
And then found out through sports I may have been better off going left lol
My mother and my older brother are left-handed, but I was the one who liked baseball (and had to be boring righty). @tawdry dove I think my brother had a similar experience in school. I think he writes right-handed, but throws left.
I played right hand my entire sporting career. During one season of basketball I decided to shoot lefty to see what would happen and found I could make shots I would usually miss
It's honestly really hard to break muscle memory as well. I tried throwing a baseball left handed for a while and I just couldn't do it
hey be nice to lefties!
some of us are lefties too, but you pal are excluded for using the mouse on the wrong side π
nonono just the mouse on the left hand side due
oh man alienware
I got it cheap, it's a few years old. But the hinge on it is better to carry the extra weight of the extra screens
is this your setup
yeah
oh
is that a right handed mouse?? haaha, don't make us look bad. lol

Hi guys. Any awesome recommendation for a nice wireless mouse? I'm not looking for some weirdly expensive gaming ones. Just something that will do the job and will not break in 6 months. Thanks
What you think as a weirdly expensive one? I've had a logitech mx master 2 for a while, and you can get them with somewhat reasonable price, at least at times.
well, 100 euros it's kinda too much for a mouse π (for me π )
I've only heard good things about the MX Master
I hate the automatically freed wheel, but you can disable if you don't like it.
Indeed, not even if I'm doing medical research on that mouse π π
Exactly. Maybe they have some awesome features but, at the end of the day, it is just a mouse π€
I will take a look on the MX Master. Thanks you
They're likely 60 to 150 euros, depending on the model. I have one from the low range, and it's good.
I honestly have been really happy with the battery life and simplicity of this guy, plus it looks sleek and it cheap https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B076F5P28T

I got a Razer Mamba wireless on sale for $30, I really like it but battery life could be better (3 days daily use)
I love my razor orochi, but it eats batteries
I have the most simple logitech there is π and some time even I use the touchpad specially when I'm in bed on a lazy day.
Logitech G903 is the best mouse I have ever had
@patent gate ^
maybe they only accept it on mars
Maybe doge coin?
Could be doge coin
they pay in mars bars
or StarBucks depending on their mood 
Ok, Chev. That got a real life chuckle
i got the G900... best battery life.
Yeah, I can use it all day for almost a week before it runs down
Ninja's barely boozy brownies. These have like 30ML of coffee liqueur, for 18 servings, so not really alcoholic. The coffee deepens and richens the chocolate flavour. Different mix to usual, normally still gives you the glossy flaky top.
yum
gonna wait for em to cool, but should be good
can i have the recipe pls
Get brownie mix that uses water as one of the additional ingredients. Substitute anything up to half the water for coffee liqueur.
I'd suggest something less sweet than a Kahlua, I use Volare coffee liqueur.
Remember the coffee liqueur also has sugar so it's gonna be pretty sweet.
I chucked some cinnamon in there for luck too
did you reduce the sugar or keep it as normal?
It's packet mix
ohhhh yeah hence the water
I had more success with Sainsbury's packet mix, this was Lidl packet mix
interesting, i'll try it sometime. You think using other liqueur than coffee would work too? Maybe amarula?
though coffee prob works best
I imagine a hazelnut or almond or orange would be real good
ooo orange would be amazing
tending towards orange tbh.
wow im def gonna try orange thats a really good idea, maybe a mint one would work but i think thats 50/50
If you had a rum that was big on molasses or dark sugar notes, might be nice. But I'd be careful because that's like twice the ABV
i fail to see the problem 
Might mess with the chemistry
Blegh aniseed and chocolate
I've never thought about that you could make alcohol pastries
Alcohol goes in crusts quite often, usually vodka
huh interesting, I've only heard about jelly shots
Tiramisu has red wine. Some sweets even get their name from the alcohol, like amaretti would use amaretto π
Marsala, not quite red wine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsala_wine
Marsala is a fortified wine, dry or sweet, produced in the region surrounding the Italian city of Marsala in Sicily. Marsala first received Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) status in 1969.
The European Union grants Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status to Marsala, and most other countries limit the use of the term Marsala to pro...

Congrats! Nice work on keeping at it (:
Thanks a lot CMNatic ! And Iβm still at 10% of my learning, will keep growing my skills 
That's awesome! We're all in the same boat in learning/developing our skills! Best of luck with it!
I personally don't feel like site ranks are great way of presenting true knowledge etc. I think no matter the level or any experience -- anyone and everyone can learn something!
Yeah I'm fully agree with you, I see it more like an " award " in return for time spent on TryHackMe, it motivates a lot to continue learning through days and days
Thanks again, THM ( and it's staff of course ) is awesome and I'm loving it, very glad to see the daily improvements to make it perfect
And as we say, you never stop learning
Congrats @radiant jacinth ! I myself just got 0xA today after completing 70 rooms in 69 (nice) days. I agree with you, THM is a wonderful skinner box !
It does seem surprising to me that the levels are so fast early on, and then stop. I'm almost at lvl9, and have only done 2/3 of the beginner path and some rooms on the side
I actually have exactly opposite feeling. It went slow for me in the beginning and from 0x6 it went faster and faster. Maybe I just spent more time on the site and didn't realize it
π€·ββοΈ or maybe you learned enough that you were getting more points in less time
I don't think I got that much better but I've started to have a lot more fun when I started to compromise boxes without any help, from then I got quite addicted to thm π

Help.
Discord signed me out on my PC and all my 2fa codes arenβt working
I canβt disable it from my phone, Iβm trapped
It keeps saying itβs invalid even though Iβm staring at it. Iβve typed ten codes with this same error and Iβm dying
Help.
@burnt night
Hi?
Kris, contact support. Aint much we can do.
I didnt know what to do so I pinged a mod
Apparently the 2fa code from a completely separate account worked, and I'm just really annoyed
Probably not completely separate then
I just realized it's probably your bed time sorry
The email associated to it in the app was different than this account
No i just really didn't understand what's going on
I didn't either and I didn't want to minimod hence the ping
Hey guys, just wondering if its normal to feel this way... coming from not much in hacking ive been on try hack me for a month, everyday for between 1 to 6 hours a day. Taking notes and trying hard never cheating, googling everything myself. Yet I still feel like im not really better, is it normal? How quick should you see progress, seems like everyone here is pro and I wonder if I belong even if I love to do the courses
If you're enjoying it, you're going to get better. Pretty quickly IMO.
You clearly have the motivation. Next step is just keep going. Keep learning, keep practicing. No shame in coming back to a challenge later or highlighting something you want to learn more about.
Just seems like I have a hard time remembering the commands and that if I try the challenges Im sure I will get lost right off the start on the first flag if left without indications
Yeah I wish the site had a function to reset a room
Even if its without points, would like to redo thems and actualy make youtube videos to explain my process of thinking
Yep.
I think you will be fine, you are doing well, the more you do the more you will remember, you have to think too though, its not like you do the same machine/concept 100 times in THM, a lot of the challenges are unique'ish
Yep now they do
so always more to learn, over time you will refine your enumeration process and once that reaches a certain point you will start to further refine your process for identifying the potential exploits and then using them it just takes time really
There's a button in the room for it
Commands, you're gonna pick up with practice. You'll learn the ones you use frequently, and lookup and use manuals for the rest
Cool will surely look for it. Think I will end the complete beginner path, then a few challenges and redo the beginner path and record it for youtube
If you type everything command instead of paste them, you should memorize them pretty quickly. At least, I do.
s/everything/every
Thanks, hopefuly I will be able to get better/remember more, just feels like im putting lot of effort and the hacking world is so huge I feel like I forget about the things I saw a week ago
Yeah I try to type and re type then not using tab, practicing my typing speed at the same time
well you said you had notes right, maybe spend some time and re-read them, tidy them up, format them or index them
will help jog your memory and maybe get you better suited to using them in future
(something I have to work on myself)
Flash cards can be helpful as well.
Lol yeah its hard to keep them tidy as there is so much different stuff, i got linux commands with sql commands with websites and others but yeah... it seems like it will be a long path
Aigt thanks, wasnt to drop out, just wondering if its a normal feeling for a beginner
I'm relatively new myself and I feel the more I learn the more I realise how much I don't know
so, yeah, you aren't alone
ASecureLab- I use cherrytree for notes, as I can link and format and reorganize it. So the structure evolves over time
Like, if I learn a new tool or technique, I might create a whole new page for it, and then link to it from within the page for the notes for that room
I've heard joplin notes is also good for that, but it's all markdown
Thanks too ! Keep it up ! I hope to see you with the green name color too one day 
Still looking forward for this room to be released 
Thanks EmptyBuffer, will look up that tool
yeaah super looking forward to this room tooo
I didnt find many C# reversing resource and tutorials and stuff

Oh there was a malicious link
^
Gone now
feels like we are in a middle of an infoxicated environment where we find contradictions that demotivate us from learning efficiently
any thoughts from a senior in the field would be really welcome
I never consider myself "ready" and if you watch talks form the people that have been in the industry a long time they are always learning, I was scared when I made my first jump and every time past that as well, but you just need to put yourself out there sometimes
Hi friend, do you know what you want to do in cyber? That may help you narrow down a good path. I think THM has a cyber careers room to see some of those options. As a disclaimer, I am not experienced to any degree
Tacos with spinach and tomato.
Can u pls save me a soft shell james
I have like 4 spare. I'm gonna make a quesadilla or two with the remaining tortillas and taco meat.
the #cyber-and-careers channel is a really good resource as we discuss this a lot in there, Jabba has a really good pin about breaking into cyber, I have seen a few talks on youtube that are really good as well
Good

Hello 
Hi welcome
Welcome to the hacker's cuisine channel
Hi everyone
Welcome
Yeah this place gets fooded a lot. good to chill out
I have tried to make a tomato quiche yesterday, but it did not work :(
I have no advice other than to try again soon π same advice with anything that doesn't work at first
It's worth doing the hard stuff. It's often frustrating but when it works, wow! Whole new worlds open up
I agree
Years ago a college course in networking got me into other tech stuff like Linux, lasers, programming and other things. Over the years that's evolved into Cybersecurity, AI, astronomy and all kinds of other weird science things. And I make a mean jambalaya
Ooh, nice
See, even when Quiet Convo talk about something relevant... It still ends up as food..
Hi, I just want to ask, does hacker has something where they could share their achives, like programmer has GIT where they share their project is there something similarly ?
Most hackers just use Git for their tools
"Projects" (i.e. reports) are covered by NDAs and wouldn't be sharable
hello
A lot of people blog as well, stuff like CTF writeups, journey to OSCP, publicly disclosed bug reports, etc
yummy

Hi!
It's BBQ time!
you plan on sharing?
Send me some by DM π
With the family :)
Peak French cuisine?
And yes, I'm waiting for my greenhouse to be free of snow so I can get my bbq equipment out of it π
It's mud season here in the Pacific Northwest.....I've taken my umbrella out with me to bbq more than I can count over here lol
Hah, I've watched way too much videos about the geology of Pacific Northwest during the pandemic π
Here in Israel the weather is getting warmer so BBQ season it's about to begin. π
We had 11 degrees today, so it's about time for BBQ.
It might not get much warmer in the summer after all π
The snow depth has halved in a week over here. Still 32cm or so to go.
Nice weenies
Iβm thinking about smoking a brisket this weekend. The weather is only going to get hotter in central Texas.
Nah y'all are getting more snow
Or the most rain in years
It was too dry this winter
Donβt you put that evil on me! Haha π
It's like the hedgehog seeing his shadow
groundhog. Hedgehog was sonic
People always say that spring is coming and then it snows until June
Lol oops
@tawdry dove Snows until June? Yikes! I guess with a name like Moose you might be somewhere cold
Not anymore. I was in New England but now in down in NOVA
Oh I see. NOVA is pretty
Idk why I moved down here. I hate heat and humidity and it's already been 80Β° in March
you aint seen nuthin' yet π
It'll easily be 20-30 degrees hotter this summer. And don't forget the humidity and pollen
proximity to the equator. Global warming. Summer.
lol
Did you bring enough to share with everyone?
If you can geolocate me.... definitely not
Get me on the next Master Chef 
I'd vote for you. If Master Chef is democratic
I don't think Gordon would like my overcooked pork or poorly blended cinnamon bun protein shake lolol

woah
i believe that's what they call 'justifiable homicide'
Apparently in the Brit Hells Kitchen he's super nice
I feel like the British TV hosts act like that for the drama in American TV
craziest gordon ramsay thing ever was the kitchen nightmares episode with amy's baking company
I don't really watch TV honestly
it's worth checking out, if only to see how completely insane and delusional one couple can get
heβs nice to chefs that donβt act like theyβre the best when they get the simple stuff wrong
I consume way too much YouTube to watch TV honestly
Lol

I've seen someone using a gif in his THM's profile as a pfp but didn't manage to do the same

Oh I didn't know, that's good to know Jabba thanks
I have a question...
How to get advancements here? Like upgrade from 0x6 to more "powerful" rights?
Level roles don't give you any permissions, apart from 0xD which gives you access to the advanced channels.
I wanted to make some lemonade but the weather got worse so there is no point :(
Well, when life gives you lemons.
is there a fancy way to make it cause i just looked up the first video on youtube and it looks basic
When life gives you lemons sell them π
at increased prices
get mad. give life back its stupid lemons
i have a fancy ass recipe but it is not in english
just google "fancy lemonade recipe", i wanted to give you a link but i get blocked by network security?
I think in mixology (even for lemonade) good simple ingredients usually makes a better drink than going overboard. But sometimes it's good to spice things up too
i usually throw some mint or thai basil in lemonade and substitute local honey for sugar
and its happy hour somewhere so maybe some gin too
That does sound good
sounds great
Yeah lemonade is pretty simple
I will say it goes great with Bulleit Bourbon
Or surprisingly well when mixed with Coors
oh no i didn't see these messages
i made just the basic, equal parts lemon, sugar and water
it's a bit sweet but it's very drinkable :)
Coors doesn't have a taste, so it can be used as a replacement for water π
Which is exactly what I did lol
lol
I think beer and lemonade is called a shandy. I think it's popular at golf events
Yes it is a shandy
If anyone is in Berlin or Germany in general ship GΓΆsser Radler bitte
That stuff is good
i think i needed only about 75% of the sugar in this, maybe 50%
can i ask how to be verified?
!docs verify
Tomato juice + coors is where its at in the summer... Minchelada is what I've heard that mixed drink called.
gotta do clamato juice, mexican beer, lime juice and hot sauce for the full michelado experience - it cures all ailments
brass monkeys are also a great poor man's shandy (malt beer + orange juice)
woah, that sounds weird but good
Yeah i just put the lemonade powder in a jug and then instead of water I replaced it with beer. My Uni was a dry campus so I needed to hide the beer somewhere lol
Not a bad call
If anyone asked it was cider from the farm down the street
I love it
I have decided to hate myself and go a week without caffeine next week in order to resensitize
I'm going to be hella aggro lol
watch out for caffeine withdrawal, apparently it's a real thing
I made the switch to decaf for 90% of my coffee, I quite like the change
my experiences doing that usually involve neck pain. a tension headache pill, like acetominophen, will help a lot. those pills usually have a small amount of caffeine as well
I like herbal teas, which are naturally caffeine free, but I still have coffee in the morning
Yeah caffeine is one of the few stims that you can resensitize to apparently
If i don't go cold turkey I'm not going to do it
for me, caffeine withdrawal kicks in about 24-36hr after my last cup. Then I'm fine.
so, like 12hr of headache, maybe a day
Oh no, tomorrow is the worst news day of the year.
but Holo is releasing tomorrow so it'll even out
I'll believe it when I see it
What yaa guys cooking today?
nothing fancy today. salad, new potatoes (imported) and pickled herring.
Seems like a cool meal nonetheless
It was the first time this spring I spotted new potatoes in a store over here. It'll be at least two months before we can get domestic ones π
Those were Spanish, I think. And didn't cost an arm and leg like the first domestic ones do π
Oh yeah, those can be three times as expensive sometimes
Google Gnome
I wish that was real
I see you agree π Either the April Fools are just annoying, or you wish they were real.
I want the Russian Google gnome though that one seemed fun lol
So I am having a raspberry cider and it is bad :(
How are all of you, I had a cheese omelette for dinner
Just had lunch here in the USA, leftover burrito
Nice, was it good?
oh yeah, it's better from the fridge
I see. I haven't written in a little while, but I used to do it a lot. I usually needed somewhere secluded
What do you used to write? For me it is just diary stuff
Oh cafes, how I miss them. But TBH I wasn't spending much time in those when they were still open
I love going to cafes to study! I went back to school a last year before COVID lockdowns and I bought a cute canvas backpack to use on cafe trips........well I haven't been able to use it at all for obvious reasons....
I got a nice backpack for uni, haven't got to use it because we're all remote
Mostly fiction, I actually have a minor in creative writing. That was before my hacking days
Ooh, interesting, what genre?
I haven't really written in any genre, but my professor told me that my writing reminded her of George Saunders. I guess mostly like real life but slightly weird
Magical realism maybe?
Not quite, but maybe close. More like satire, but not over the top Douglas Adams type
Hmmm
I bought an Osprey pack for senior year of high school and then college and then wasn't able to use it in college due to uniform requirements 
Your college had no booze and uniforms?
Yes
military academy, right?
I went to an SMA
Yes
I got to play dress up and get yelled at by former First Sergeants, Senior Chiefs, and Command Sergeant Majors for 4 years

@radiant jacinth That's kinda spammy
oops.
Oh, that sounds like fun...
My brother is going to the Citadel, but he wants to be a marine so a strict college makes sense for him I guess
Citadel is a bunch of weirdos
They get angry if you don't stress The in The Citadel
We're also their, and all the other SMAs, daddy lol
As you can see it gets competitive
Lol,
I'll let him know. It's a pretty campus though. I wish the school I went to had a tank
We actually drove our tanks until the 90s
Yeah it's also kind of weird that most of the SMAs have beautiful campuses
That's sick
Yeah we also have the founder of Clemson and Alcoholics Anonymous which is hilarious because we're probably the wettest dry campus
Norwich?
Twas a great 4 years. Except for the whole not graduating in person due to COVID thing
Lots of blood, sweat, tears, torn ligaments, and alcohol lol
that sucks. I graduated in fall 2020, my school tried hard to stay open, but we all get out around Thanksgiving
Yeah we went home for spring break thinking we would be back in a week with all the homies and that never happened
oof
Never heard of it, but I looked it up. Looks freaky
When I made carmel for the first time, I was terrified. Not only did I choose a pot that was nearly to small but It's basically like handling lava.
Looking for some more eyes. Want to get new wheels for the whip but can't decide. If you want to help go over to tirerack.com and select "wheels and tires packages" and put in 2016 Subaru Outback 3.6R. Move the wheel size from 18" to 17" and on filters select any color combo that has bronze. There should be 3. It will allow you to see the wheel on my car if you select wilderness green
That reminds me that I should check if I need new summer tires
Happy to help lol
I don't think ive ever bought winter tires and I've lived on New England for 23 years, 7 of which were as a driver
We've four months mandatory winter tire usage in the year. And for the rest of the year, you can't use stud tires (with exceptions based on conditions)
Oh true I forgot some places mandate that kind of thing
When I visited Norway studs were mandatory where we were
And still, every year, people get surprised by winter and there's lots of crashes π
my winters are useful for about 3 days in the year here :/
generally 1 in november, 1 in january, and 1 in march/april
I'd rather have continuing winter than this darn pollen season.
you could be like us and have both
Or mud season
Haha pacific northwest is mostly mud season XD
Yeah Vermont its mud season, snows one more time in May, then all of a sudden its summer
Where did the ping go?
Being made tomorrow
Let me know how it goes. It's one of my fav recipes π
I'm considering trying out my new sleeping pad and older sleeping bag on the terrace tonight.
I almost bought a pad and a bag recently
I'd like to get a lighter bag, that one is pretty heavy.
Yeah i almost spent $800 on a bag
hah, that one is probably 130β¬ or so π
nah, I'm just trying out my gear.
It's supposed to be -2 tonight, it should still be fine with that bag.
can be nice. Depends where you're at
