im sorry

What's the networking based reason for an ack instead of an immediate HTTP response?
Does it have to do with OSI layers (transport and application specifically)?
or is for situations when a server might be processing a request for a long time and wants to make sure that the client knows that it did receive the request
so for differentiating between server unreachable vs request timeout
‘Caus the protocol says that tcp segments transfering data must be acknowledged to insure reliability (Not sure to have understood the question well)
It's how TCP works?
the HTTP packet is generally built on top of the TCP packet
TCP assures the transport of the HTTP
the ACK is there to tell the requestor that the packet has been received, don't bother resending it
Ahh like that
but yes, it's an OSI thing 🙂
tcp/ip thing* 😉
?membercount
It's not accurate. but it's not far off.
yep only by a measly 76, 986 
Go and complain to Muiri if you're not happy with the accuracy. 🙂
@warm peak Wanna make this too? xD
there is a reason to why it is behind, discord does not like when something updates all the time and limits how much you can do, therefore to not make the bot slow with the commands it will update slower and be behind with the member count and then be able to do commands a lot
Ah gotcha
after completing the web fundamentals/cyber defense paths will i be well equipped enough to make my own entry-level vulnerability web scanner for defensive purposes?
To make such a tool you will need to have some sort of programming/scripting language experience. Those paths that you listed aren't quite designed for that.
hmm yes thats why im asking im doing django/ruby on rails and i would like to make some stuff for it relating to cybersecurity but i dont know enough about cybersecurity to even know where to start
hence why im here xd
Totally accurate. I can take it once more but I'm going to do it after I go through C Dev Fundamentals
See how much I grow 
Hi
Which site is that?
had to try it out. did not expect that 😅
👀
ayy
Shows that I haven't implemented prod code yet lmao
never made any custom modules or unittests :d
LMAO WHAT
this site is so broken I've literally made two programs in C (I did some RE though)
🔥
Well I think the site is fine since this survey is tied to C Dev Fundamentals.
?membercount
Is this a selfbot?
no
We don't have a bot here that uses that prefix, are you using a custom client or something?
yeah
it could also be a weird way to ask the question of how many members there are.... that might be common in places where they place a symbol at the start of questions and end
like spanish for example
never mind.......
Do you know that's against the Discord terms of service and they can close your account for that?
Also isn't the member count at the top of the channel list anyway
Yep...
@burnt night sorry
IDK why you're saying sorry to me, it's discord that will close your account
i understood
it is also possible to view how many users are in here from the discord invite for this discord.... and that is also updated quicker because it is internal discord stuffs
can I be mod? @terse gorge

not funny
Smells like troll in here
am serious
nopes
wow look guys he has a shady profile picture... he must be a very cool real non-pubescent hacker
I wish I could be so cool
hmm looks like someone violated rule 1 and rule 3 in my dms
Lol
Would you care to forward that one on to a mod?
But also, you can call out an edgy pfp in a much more polite way
I genuinely admire some mods for the amount of patience and understanding they have.
Be specific. Helps me figure out who to target to annoy them.
bonks @meager mason
Ahuh! The first victim has revealed himself.
I shall give you the prodding of a lifetime!
not if I prod you first!
i hope my anxiety and scrambled mind doesnt cost me the job interview for a pentesting role tomorrow, i'm moving from a SOC role and i hope i have enough knowledge to make this through
All the best to you
hey guys
Does anyone have the same problem
The burp suite module is not available in the Complete Beginner path
Instead of https://tryhackme.com/room/rpburpsuite it redirects to
https://tryhackme.com/room/burpsuitebasics
what to do😫
That is entirely intentional.
The complete beginner path is deprecated

It's sad because I almost passed it
Good thing I haven't started burp
oh, the beginner path is deprecated ? i finished it a couple of weeks ago, doesnt matter that much, the goal is to do all of thm 😄
Are amd 5000 processes good for virtualbox
Depends on the model but in general they should be fine
Is NFS the unix equivalent of SMB?
Yeah sorta, but they both have their benefits and use cases too (: @frail rapids
This is super random, but is anyone here good with growing plants? Specifically from seeds and peppers.
you will need to practice exploiting common web vulnerabilities to learn what a successful exploitation looks like. Then you can write a scanner which tests a web app and checks the responses.
im about to finish the jr pentester path, wondering what to start next, offensive or defensive path, what is more fun ?
Imo defensive is more theory while offensive is more hands on
Hence, imo offensive is more fun
Everyone saying off is more fun, I doupt def isn't fun as well
What's the best way to get better when you have all the basics? I feel like I'm mediocre at everything (binexp, RE, enum, webexp, et cetera) but don't know how to improve
Some blog posts are too complicated whilst others are too basic
dive in the too complicated posts and google everything u don't know.
@final gulch CONGRATS ON SANS COURSE!!!!!!!!
oh, hi. It{s just a reminder to myself what I should be working on
Any mods around that can give me the Security+ role? 👀 (Edit: Fluff got it, thx Fluff!)
Sorry, I saw that you pinged me but I was out
No worries!
@burnt night ayy yo,how come your name is james while you are only one dude 😩 ?
canned beans would like a word
So James' would mean there are multiple James
Or you use that to refer to something that is theirs
james's icecream???
James' can also refer to the possessive form of the name as well. Something belonging to James. Such as James' name.
This is a party of Jameses in the apartment belonging to James. It's the James' Jameses jam.
How will you know what the target is in challenges like binexp? eg sometimes its dropping a shell sometimes its just hopping to a diff function
If it's hopping to a different function, you'll see the function you're going for
Hm aight
I do like the one Jame theory
Or if it's in pajamas and they shorten the name, it's Jimmy's Jimmy Jim Jam Jamboree
I'm trying to find a .git file infrastructure online but i can't find anything. Am I using the wrong term?
Like the file repository I mean.
I should have just made a local one at this point.
@primal steppe do you recommend Anova sous vide machines? If so do you have a specific model you recommend?
Yeah the one cheaper that the pro
Does awesome
Precision?
How many watts?
1000
I think that's the sous vide machine I have, as well
Is there a website that collects blogs etc from the web?
Google does it well.
so you can e.g. filter by kernexp and it'll show kernel exploitation blogs, but like, properly unlike google so e.g. thumbnail, description etc
welp couldve seen that one coming
You might be able to set up something like an RSS feed. But good luck.
Proper search engines are a real pain to set up
Yep, it's why Google is so dominant
They're vertically integrated so it's easier but still difficult
Hey Moose
Hi
How’s it going?
Tired
Yeah…. I can relate.
Unfortunately i need money, warehouse or tryhackme??
The reason I personally don't like google for blogs is that the basic/keyword spamming blogs end up on top so there's no way to check for quality without visiting the blog

I wonder if this matches the purple
how's everyone doing c:
Heyo 🫡
suggest some rooms
Ah rolling release, how I love you so. "what do you mean I need to upgrade my postgresql database to keep using Metasploit?". And that's how the package got locked in my config to 14.2 after that dramatic upgrade procedure 
Honestly wouldn't have it any other way. Now I know how to upgrade a postgresql database and know to lock my package version so I never have to do it again :p
If I was on a shared network with someone up to no good, what else could they realistically do other than intercept my data through MITM.
Does anyone have tips for web "exploitation" in CTFs? enum specifically
its always some stupid parameter or file I fail to find because I use wrong wordlists, forget things, etc
Depends on the event honestly. In my opinion, a good CTF web challenge, unless the challenge is about enumeration, should make all of the endpoints relatively easy to find. The challenge should be figuring out how to put all of the puzzle pieces together, not finding the puzzle pieces in the first place. (assuming we're talking standalone CTF events and not boot2root)
If you're referring to stuff like HTB/THM machines, then I don't really have any good advice because I still need to get good at that 
That kinda goes contradictory to the idea of a good CTF challenge being realistic
They shouldn't be made easy to find -- but neither should they be made ridiculously hard to find. They should be built in a realistic manner, making them as easy or as difficult to find as the context demands
That's what I meant, I just worded it in the opposite way 😅
I also don't necessarily think that a good CTF challenge has to be realistic. I think some of the best ones do end up being the most realistic, but there are also a lot that are just as rewarding learning-wise despite not being "realistic". (but that's another conversation to be had tbh)
I would just hate to have only barely missed the challenge solution because "x" word was in my wordlist but "y" was the directory I was looking for. And again, talking about standalone events here where fuzzing usually isn't a part of the challenges.
hello
using the wrong wordlist (not from any of the “usual” ctf wordlists) is just a cruel thing from the creator (if finding via dirbusting is the intended method).
forget things? that’s on you. create/modify a checklist of everything. something not on your checklist? add that check in for next time (ie. try every http verb on an endpoint)
stupid parameters? also should be included in checklist. fuzz params for file names, common words, special characters/strings
using the wrong wordlist (not from any of the “usual” ctf wordlists) is just a cruel thing from the creator (if finding via dirbusting is the intended method).
Assuming there isn't a giveaway elsewhere.
If you're using some obscure (but documented) CMS with unusual endpoints then that's fine -- it won't show up in your wordlists, but you can use the docs to generate one specifically for the box 🤷♂️
hello can you help me?
Perform an Xmas scan on the first 999 ports of the target -- how many ports are shown to be open or filtered?
what is the IP address of virtual machine?
Did you start the machine?
yes
yes
thank you I saw the IP address but when I do some scan answers do not match or maybe I fill in the wrong answer so I need help on some questions

#room-hints too please
@fervent glade Could you share your link with me when the king of the hill starts. I'd like to spectate you
quiet kid
@smoky mortar I think I found a problem with a new room, may I PM you? (It's something I think should not be posted publicly)
Go ahead. 🙂
Your boy just donated blood. I'm 500ml lighter now 
I had this really sweet, babushka of a nurse taking care of me.
So she obviously had to chat me up, asking me what I'm studying and what I do. I obviously replied that I study cybersecurity.
And she stopped for a second, looked and me and said "I have no idea what that is. But go on!" hahaha
So I tried to briefly explain to her what cyber attacks are, using the ongoing war in Ukraine as an example. And I told her that people like me are basically like hackers, but the good guys!
And it was so sweet. It made my day 
I wonder if there's a decent analogy to be made using the immune system
Maybe compare it to vaccines?
We're coming in as a (simulated) threat, so the body can learn how to protect itself in case of a real attack by a pathogen.
This analogy is far from perfect, but It's the first thing that came to my mind
Oh for pen testing? Yeah, or maybe an allergy panel is vuln detection and vaccination is security patching lol
I was picturing a blue team as the immune system and a red team as pathogens I guess
except probably with slightly more creative adaptations to each other
That's a fairly good comparison too!
The analogy I often use whenever someone has absolutely no idea what penetration testing is, I simply compare pentesters to bank robbers.
I tell them to imagine a world where banks would hire teams of bank robbers to perform a mock robbery and tell the bank what their weaknesses were. After this "robbery" the robbers would write a nice report on how they performed the robbery, what weaknesses of the security systems they used, and would tell them something like "Hey, you need an extra guard here", "Don't leave that door open and make sure only authorised personnel can go through", "While you're at it, buy new reinforced doors with better locks".
All this effort to make sure the bank is safer in case of a real robbery.
This is actually a real thing that banks do. As a hypothetical, it definitely has real world people doing this exact form of testing.
Oh yeah? That's interesting because I haven't heard about it, but somehow I'm not even surprised. Are those people mostly former bank robbers, or just specialists who study the methods used by robbers?
Because in my analogy I wanted to put the emphasis on the ethical side of it. That technically, by studying to become a pentester, it's pretty much like studying to become a robber, the main difference being that you decide to do it ethically.
Neither. One of my coworkers used to do this. A lot of is exploring the limits of procedure and organizational controls with a very very narrow scope and nearly unlimited risk within that scope.
Wow, that's cool.
So it's kind of like being a social engineering vuln researcher. Right?
Not.... really. Every engagement is different, and each engagement is likely to put different sets of controls in scope. It's like any pentest contract.
Okay, I see. When you said limits if procedure, I thought you're strictly talking about abusing the procedures in a social engineering way
But I get it now
Do y'all use wfuzz for non-directory web fuzzing?
i use burp, but on the command line i’d use ffuf
this is perhaps a dumb question, but how do applications use different languages and frameworks, e.g. a webscraper using python, how would I then display it using java
You'd need some way of interpreting the output
Something like JSON or XML is commonly used to interface different things over the network, but there's lots more
hey
Hello
Why use man page if Google is faster??
cause sometimes you won't have access to google @radiant jacinth
I disagree, that should NEVER happen lol (but yes I do know how to use man pages)
Oh... gg
Restricted environment, or client network where you don't wanna be searching up random stuff 🤷♂️
Then again, I have literally installed tools on my box connected to a client network before to see if their SOC noticed, sooooo
What was the ratio to found out/not found out?
TL;DR: I literally told the client to fire the subcontracted SOC, but for obvious reasons I ain't going into any detail :)
Is it silly that I’ve never really made the connection between video game and console exploits and more general infosec until recently? Of course I’ve seen fail0verflow CCC videos and “oh do these things to execute arbitrary code” in Ocarina of Time speedruns. As someone who’s huge into emulation and console homebrew, I always categorized it as helpful tools in my brain until looking at it more critically from infosec standpoint and getting into reverse engineering. They’re not often malicious after all from the consumer’s prospective so didn’t register with me in quite the same way despite my fascination with both
I only recently learned about the Stop n Swap Paper Mario speedrun where you use a buffer overflow (iirc, might have been a different type of exploit) to get code execution and trigger the ending cutscene
The Nintendo 64 only had 3 games where ACE was possible, until recently. With a history full of crazy glitches, exploits, dead ends, and unbounded creativity, the story of how ACE came to be on Paper Mario 64 is one of the greatest in all of speedrunning.
Big thanks to Rain, Fray, Jcog, and MrCheeze, this video was not possible without them.
...
Yep it may have been literally that exploit that caused me to rethink things a bit, I’ve seen some impressive arbitrary code execution in SMW and many others but getting one game to do so to another is stunning
It is beautiful how game hackers do their thing
I’m watching the TechRules video on game/console exploits from about 6 months ago, just took hearing arbitrary code execution again after learning infosec put things in a new light, but yeah idk why I’m surprised. I interact with emu devs and game reverse engineers often, just didn’t click with me “oh this is literally the same skillset” lol
Even followed Paper Mario glitch videos lol, guess I missed it when it was new. Thanks YouTube
Hearing all of those things and then also finding this link recently has made me want to do a little bit of a dive into this stuff: https://gamehacking.academy
Very interesting, thanks! Honestly once I learn reversing and debugging a bit better, I’d love to circle around to ROM hacking. Already have a good bit of experience with pre-made tools, but would be interesting to dive deeper or getting into memory analysis with cheats. Just kind of opening new doors for me now that my infosec interest are getting into reverse engineering when that’s like most of my fave projects lol
Reverse engineering is the absolutely best/worst thing ❤️
Yeah I’ve read many writeups and looks like painstaking work. Especially getting into the lowest level ASM side, that may be a bit much for me generally but we’ll see lol. I always found it fascinating but didn’t have the fundamentals to get started until THM and infosec
I’m eagerly awaiting the reverse engineered port of LucasArt’s Jedi Engine (Star Wars: Dark Forces, Outlaws), and have been using OpenJKDF2 for my most recent Star Wars: Dark Forces II play-through. Those are a bit more niche but yeah projects like OpenRCT2 for Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 are things I’m all about. While yeah we’re generally analyzing malware in infosec, once I started getting into IDA, Ghidra, and such that I was like “Ohhh” lol
Hey so im doing sudo apt install john but it keep giving me john 1.8.0 and the latest one is 1.9.0. And i have upgraded the packages
Ubuntu is not what we'd call rolling release. Once the final versions are decided and tested for a Ubuntu or Debian release, then those packages are basically set in stone with no new features. Only security updates. It's likely you're on a Ubuntu/Debian based distro which is following this principle. PPAs (custom Ubuntu repositories) can help resolve this, but they're not official for Debian based
Or you know you can just compile john locally https://github.com/openwall/john you can find installation steps easily.
Don't create a FrankenDebian by using externnal PPA's with Debian stable https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian#Don.27t_make_a_FrankenDebian
Yeah im just gonna do that
Are there tools that do stealth fuzzing? as in, mix invalid and valid requests to make it look more legit
I'm especially talking about dirbusting (not that I'd need a tool for that, but I can imagine red teaming pentesters would need it to avoid detection)
I don't think mixing requests even on a v big time span will make u avoid being detected
Isn't it atleast less obvious when you're filtering malicious users out of normal users?
hmm yeah, wouldn't need proxychains though
Just iterate through a proxy list file in the program
I think it's question of how common relative directory traversal is in the system as a whole
I see you aquired ceh, any specific reason for that?
I don't have CEH -- Varg is being a dick
Probs wanted to work at gov 
Naw, if I see a job requiring me to have that cert I'm walking away 😆
to india?
Del varg
From India -- that's the only place they seem to really like it these days, for some very stupid reason
Don't know if I'm allowed to ask this, but does anyone know how youtubers like Jim Browning manage to track those scammers down? I imagine he only has an IP address of the scam office (based on the teamviewer connection or whatever)
and manages to identify scammers and get camera footage, which I doubt is even possible (aside from ip cam default creds which need to be portforwarded)
Idk who you're talking about but it's probably staged
A lot of if is the cyber version of what a private investigator does. Many of those activities are in a grey area at best, and I wouldn't recommend trying it out for yourself without getting a reputable lawyer specializing in cyber law to look over your scope and activities.
Jim Browning is legit. He's dedicated to exposing scammers to legal consequences where possible. When there are legally actionable items in play, he delays videos and censors them so as to not pollute or contaminate the case.
He's also worked with UK and Indian law enforcement and helped the BBC make an expose as well.
yeah I definitely like jim browning
Ah alright
Welp I'm definitely not going to do grey hat things
Was just curious about the techniques
I see
I keep on getting those scam things recommended and they all looked staged or were conducted in an extremely grey way, so I assumed
Many of them are staged, or re-enactments. If you see grey or black behavior, it is usually staged. Not all though, and the latest Mark Rober scam payback video has me questioning some things
Yeah i saw that too in the recommendations. I didn't click because it seemed staged. Dude is too nice/straightedge to do anything real
Well he did do a collab with jim browning 🤷♂️
but yeah, tbh I was thought it was staged as well
May I ask what it's regarding first please?
Its about the conversation last day we have, i think about both side s and i feel to share with you
Unless it's an apology, I'd rather you didn't DM me.
I think its more than an apology and you are gonna love it
Ok, go ahead.
I appreciate you getting permission first.
I will edit it end send. Yea, i am a experimental learner 😄
It's been a while. I've been busy at grad school, but we have summer break now, so hopefully I can do some THM stuff a little bit. Here's is some steak and grits I cooked some time ago. I meant to share it here.
Can't go wrong with this at all. Looks rather yummy (:
Anyone know any good recommendations for laptops? I know what to look for in desktops but still have yet to see any solid info on laptops. Since this site has multiple experienced people dedicated to pentesting I figured this would be a near full proof place to ask, for recommendations or at least tips on what to look for
I don’t imagine desktop to laptop will be a huge difference in what I should be looking for but just in case I want to ask before making a hefty purchase
I especially wanted to ask since laptops aren’t very customizable
And I’ll look into xps. Any specific kind or just any from them?
I don’t necessarily want customizable, what I meant is contrary to a laptop, if my desktop is lacking somewhere or I want better I can simply improve said aspect, versus not so much for laptops
I guess that would mean I want customization 🤨🤔🤔 huh
If you don't need a GPU and it's for personal use, I'd grab a refurb business laptop
If you do need a GPU, XPS are usually available refurb
100% personal just to practice pentesting as recently and in the near future I am not at home as much, although I will be getting an apprenticeship here soon
So maybe not 100% personal use in the future I guess? Sorry
Refurb is so much cheaper, and better for the planet which is a nice bonus.
If you get the right models, like my Latitude 5400, you can get a decently repairable laptop for not so much money.
I got an i7 at 4.8GHz and 16GB of RAM for £370
WOW xps has a price tag jesus
Literally $500 cheaper thank you. I’ll look into the three recommendations you two gave me thanks for the help 🙂
It’s more like $250 average savings but still
I'd recommend looking at stuff like ifixit guides for how repairable/upgradable it is. If you go for one where you can change out the ram (2 slots) and the SSD (1 or 2 m.2 slots, maybe SATA on bigger laptops) then IMO you'll be quite happy
I got mine off ebay
eBay huh😬😬
Also highly recommend reading reviews looking for things like build quality.
If you get good sellers, then ebay is fine.
Lots of businesses sell on Ebay and I have a nice set of UK sellers that I look for stuff from when I need tech.
And for laptop use it’s okay to just wipe windows and install Linux correct?
I’m fairly certain I can just not sure if that’s the best option
Yeah.
I'd recommend VMs though. Just bear in mind that Linux compatibility on laptops is a whole minefield. Arch wiki is pretty good for it IIRC, even if you're not looking to run arch.
Oh it is huh. Interesting 😒 thanks
they're a bit pricy though
Man they sure were 😩 ugh
Twas me, dw
ah, yeah, i see now. My app hadn't caught up
I thought they were trying to hide shenanigans.

didn't know that 👍
how i send to any one my android app its file name is apk but its lock and when i send it fackbook says that is virus file
why do you want to send an apk to another person? You can just tell them where you got it from if it's publically available and from a trusted site.
Though if Facebook says it's malicious then I'd rethink to send it to anyone. Especially if it's custom written with bad intensions in mind.
@brave barn Are you trying to send a reverse shell over Facebook?
no
You generated a payload with metasploit right? An APK?
yes
And you're sending trying to send it over Facebook?
yes
Are you trying to attack people by sending them this apk?
you have your facebook i sen you picture . yes yes you right
-ban @brave barn Trying to send malicious APKs over Facebook to attack people. Blackhat.

That is impressively stupid smh
I just assume people like that are always trolling, and I know I'm wrong.
But those who don't - I always wonder why do they always act so... Weird? Every single time.
I mean, at least they were honest
That's. Quite the conversation
That's quite a quiet conversation
Sorry to be a bother I just want to make sure as it’s a hefty purchase. Is 4 cores for a laptop a good amount for pentesting?
I normally just make a VM on my desktop and toss 8 of my cores at it, never paid it any attention past that really
I feel like 4 is plenty and I’m overthinking this🤔
If I’m running a VM on it then I would have to run maybe 2 cores in the VM I would imagine, unless I feel comfortable making kali my host OS
I just remember when I first built my desktop on a whim I messed a ton of things up and don’t want to do that again with my laptop
If I'm running a linux guest with a desktop, I usually give it 2 cores and 3-4GB of RAM. If it's headless, I usually run 1 core and 2GB or less of RAM.
You also have to remember that the host still needs resources too
Yeah my two core, 4GB RAM terminal only dedicated pentesting virtual private server is honestly kinda overkill for my needs like 95% of the time
I should have known that doing minimal Linux for years, but wasn't sure about pentesting headroom
If using burpsuite pro with scanner I recommend atleast 16GB
I'm on the fence about wether I want to upgrade my desktop to 32GB
I did it, I haven't looked back since fixing the ram clock issues
We run 32 at work too, it's nice
64 better
Hm aight
I've been considering an upgrade but I have a 2017 motherboard so if I want a reasonable high ram size and speed I need to upgrade my entire system (old cpu socket etc)
Not sure what platform you're on but I wouldn't be buying DDR3 now brand new, grab second hand if you're on DDR3
What do you mean?
I have a bunch of .MD files and i was wondering if I could transfer them somewhere else with obsidian itself
obsidian has a sync option
not sure if you can point it to anything other than cloud though
Yeah, the original message said offline
you could put the file structure on onedrive or a another cloud service sync
I realized it was stupid after I asked it lol

If you have a question that you're looking for answers to, make sure you've researched it first. Then just ask the question directly. No one knows if they can help until they know the question
hmm it is the real place i can collaborate with genuine peoples 🙂
Just ask your question.
Lol thanks, I’ll take that as a compliment @dusty sleet
anyone here track what countries they’ve been to in a cool way?
i just currently have a world map and pin them, but i wanna do all of europe and this place is so tiny so i’d wanna just get a europe map but there’s gotta be cooler ways than just pinning it
I've been thinking about how to do this myself as I think I've crested double digit countries. I've seen scratch offs, LED matrices, the pins, and aviation sectionals. One thing that I saw yesterday was a map with each countries traditional style of coffee. This was at a coffee shop but could definitely be modified to fit the visited countries. Also, get to try a bunch of coffee lol
One thing I have started doing for the US national parks is going to the visitor center and getting a magnet, a patch, and a coffee cup. Magnet i stick on the fridge, patch i put on the roof the car, and the coffee cup i either shelve or drink out of depending on the material.
Costs about $30 a park
I have a scratch-off map
oo scratch off maps look pretty cool, might go for one of them
i’ve also got different souvenirs from each country i’ve been too which sucks, i think i want to get the same thing from each country - like you do moose
not sure what i wanna do though
also gonna do everything again, regardless if i’ve already been there when i do get the scratch off
Maybe a thumbnail print of each place under a pin?
that’s a good idea too, seeing as i’ll be doing them all again i could get decent photos
this seems like a decent breakup of countries i can do in different trips
Could get nerdy and do a SIM or something lol
what’s that?
Sim card

@quaint basin, I saw you created the "upload vulnerabilities" room. I find it interesting that it asks the user to set an entry in the hosts file with multiple subdomains pointing at the same IP. I guess that was a way to offer multiple challenges without having to create multiple VMs, right? May I ask how it was done? (Something with Nginx perhaps?)
Thanks lassi!
Gave +1 Rep to @twilit nacelle
"Something with Nginx" would be correct
Each challenge is dockerised and behind an Nginx reverse proxy (hence the vhosts).
The implementation there is a lot sloppier than I would use now, but it works 🤷♂️
Yeah, containers are absolutely awesome. Love them
They are!
Containers of anything chocolate are my favourite
this is my legacy
I'm proud
toolbx is the most useful container
@warm peak may I DM?

Is there a way to work around encrypted PDF file without using Acrobat Reader? (password protected)
By changing Windows Permissions, etc
When I right click on the .PDF file to read it with Notepad++ it's for the most part coded and unreadable.
But there is definitely some code logic in there.
did you already try cracking it? (IE: pdf2john?)
Hey there! Is anyone in here able to read Persian text?
Do you understand what encrypted means? It doesn't mean protected by windows permissions.
Not much, but if it's in an image, you can try OCR:
https://www.i2ocr.com/free-online-persian-ocr
and then copy the text from that and dump it into google translate.
Thanks mate! I did try that though and it wasn't successful. Can you read numbers? The image I believe has numbers

I can try, I know the arabic numbers and they're very similar
Although I have to head out in a minute

Yoo! I got a problem with my VBox (Latest update) booting into grub/uefi on my parrot os installation, the problem started when my VM crashed (I overloaded it), anyone know a way to fix it? Google wasn't very helpful and it seems to be a common problem.
I'm officially stupid
I can transfer files with a usb without the need for any kind of wifi

Why didn't I listen when people told me the have snapshots of my VM
@gray jetty I blame you.
Why not? Things are usually your fault xD
you do deserve it tho
srsly though, do you know how to solve it?
I always snapshot my VM's
And for good measure, I clone it, then move it to an external.
Well I’m dumb and didn’t
It’s crazy corrupt rn haha
Nope, I'm a dual-boot guy, @south inlet could help but he's dumb

Hi everyone
Definitely useful, I find myself using Ctrl+a (beginning of line) and Ctrl+e (end of line) a lot more personally.
Also you can use ctrl+u to delete everything from the beginning to the cursor, and ctrl+k - delete from the cursor to the end
I thought control - k was hyperlink?
ctrl + k removes all text from cursor to eol in linux
ctrl + k in a browser is used to focus on search bars
pay special attention to the history expansion section
I didn't see that this was for terminal whoops
Yeah

WHAT?
question : how does one use metasploit in an actual engagment , I am talking especially about saving the information one gathers in suitable databases ,setting up dedicated listening servers , c2 etc, is it suitable for a red team or is there a better tool for the job
I mean red teams do use it, not too different than how you might use it, there are also other tools tool that may be used
There's lots of C2 options
I've read metasploit unleashed in the past, I don't think I've read any extensive part on this context, can somone recommend me a good red team book that discussess this topic
Sheeesh rop chains are hard man
I'm currently doing ropemporium challenges and am already slamming my head into my desk at challenge 4/8
Does anyone have general tips with regards to rop chains? I'm personally struggling with finding the right instructions even though I'm using ropgadget for retrieving gadgets
For most of the ROPEmporium stuff, the first place to look is in their usefulgadgets and usefulfunctions areas
are you using pwndbg? or ropper?
(or ropper within pwndbg?)
Nope, just rabin2 + ropgadget + raw gdb + ghidra
I'd definitely use pwndbg or gef, I prefer pwndbg
ropgadget is good too, but I usually get more parsable results from ropper (except within pwntools, where it's kind of meh)
are you doing the 32 or 64 bit? I only did the 64 bit versions of all but the first one
I'm currently doing 32 bit to practice rop concepts
am probably going to switch to x64 if I finish all challenges in x86
I get the philosophy there, but there's a pretty big leap there because of the way that arguments are passed in most functions now with the 64 bit architecture. You move from having to fill a lot of registers instead of loading the stack with the variables. So the rop chains you use in 32 bit aren't going to be very usable in the real world
but I mean whatever helps you learn has value, I'm not dissing on it
there's also 32 bit embedded systems out there (although less of them are using x86 these days)
As far as tips go, I guess the best I could offer is to write out what your final function call is going to look like, and work back from there. Which registers have to hold which parameter, etc. And then find ways to get the data there working backwards.
Hmmm those are some pretty good tips. Thanks
No problem 🙂 Happy hunting!
Why ? Reason ?
Was that you? @novel blade
Not it was not me @tawdry dove I am new here and was wondering what did the user do for an "indefinite ban".
Is it ok to discuss THM technical stuff from the exercises/quiz/CTF ?
In appropriate channels, yeah
ok thanks...will check the #rules
Not that it matters hugely, but the reason is given just above.
Dropping an invite link to an NSFW Discord server
What can be NSFW ? People can DM I suppose and invite/network ? or is that also banned ?
Follow the server rules; they are pretty clear.
What, the rules, or dumping NSFW links? 😆
Anyone have any discord channels I can join that teach about starting 3d modeling?

We try to keep away from all that tinfoil hat nonsense here, please.
No, I will never buy into the conspiracy theory shit.
I'm so terrified of buffer overflows, anyone got pointers for me before i start trying to learn them?
If you understand computer architecture/organisation, how functions work, how a stack data structure works, and learn a touch of C, it becomes much easier
BOF isn't something to be scared of, but it builds on some fundamental topics from the CompSci field
thank you 🙏
Yep. in addition to that, learning assembly is helpful as well
Makes you really understand how buffer overflow vulns work and it's a good prep for rop chains etc
Learning assembly follows on nicely from architecture/organisation
Would a room like "windows internals" be a good first step for computer architecture/organisation?
No, that's operating system stuff. You need to be looking way below that level, basically at the hardware level
Would there be a room for it on THM? If not, any good search terms / specific resources yk of?
I don't think there's any content on THM for it.
I learnt via traditional schooling so I don't know of any courses. Juun recommended a book that goes into likely way more detail compare to what you need, but I probably can't find that.
Does it go into deep maths or anything?
I haven't read it nor do I own it. But it's juuns recommendation for computer architecture
So I'd assume it has some level of math
Depends on what you mean by math. And it's how computers work, you can't really get away with running from math if you want to actually learn something of value in that field.
Hello people of hats 👋
I have a question, in your professional opinion, are you biased to saying that windows is more secure than linux or the other way around according to the following scenarios:
1$ Targeted attack: an attacker A is specifically targeting machine B
2$A fully developed ubuntu virus that uses 0day exploits and priv esc capabilities
3$ A fully developed windows virus that has 0day exploits ,priv esc capabilities, and AV evasion
4$A linux freeipa server controlling linux computers
5$A windows AD system
6$A threat actor specifically designing a ransomeware with the target being affecting the highest number of users
7$IOT system using windows core
8$IOT system using ubuntuiot
9$IOT system using stripped custom linux distro like yocto proj
Ty in advance
💙
I assure you it is not james,Ive written this question after seeing so much debate on the topic from so many resources
Is there anyway to possibly generalize that? Both windows and Linux have a million ways to escalate privileges if things aren’t setup correctly. Only thing you might be able to generalize is that AD widens the potential impact since it’s how a log of organizations manage every IT resource
And 0 days will break any system because by definition no one knows about it and can develop preventative/mitigating measures

Does anyone know how to pipe multiple lines of input into a program?
^without the use of pwntools
but it basically comes down to pwntools' p.recvline();p.sendline();p.recvline();p.sendline();...
just want a simpler command line util
Care to give an example of what you're trying to do?
Simpler than pwntools? You're spoiled :p 😉
I'm trying to exploit a buffer overflow vuln in a program that has number menus:
1) something
2) something else
3) exit
``` but I need to give 3 inputs
Lmao true... I'm looking for a oneliner approach
like bash piping but that's a mess with multiple inputs at once
Well your example is sending and receiving so it's reactive, what you have there is probably as close to a one liner as you're going to get. But if you don't need to send in between, you can just put newlines or whatever other break you need in the string itself.
oneliners are overrated in my opinion. I grew up in the perl community, I've seen enough of that breed of abuse 😉 They're useful when necessary, but I think you're better off making your code readable and re-usable if you have the option. Pwntools is great for that.
Just my two cents 🙂 But someone else may have a good answer for you. So I'll be off.
Hm alright
Could possibly do it with shell Python but that would be hellish
Bash isn't my strong suit
cat file.ext | while read line; do whatever $line; done
I'm struggling to grasp what you're looking for in my mind so I can't really write something for it
but preferably in a bash oneliner
fair point, but I already knew the answer
just wanted an alternative for these long exploit files
I keep finding myself in these painful scenarios during binexp and cba to make an entire exploit file
code re-use is your friend
build a template and adapt it to each scenario
doing it in bash will be much more work in my opinion
I know you said no pwntools but instead of repeating sendline and recvline, you can just use sendlineafter() and/or recvuntil() so you don’t have to guess how many lines
Don’t really know how you’d do it otherwise because of how the i/o stream seems to get handled
true, completely spaced that even though that's usually how I write mine.
How do hash identifiers work?
I don't assume their only variables are hash length and special format chars, right?
That's pretty much all there is to them
There's a principle called the random oracle, and it basically says you can't tell apart a hash from random data
Same thing with encrypted data
Ahhh so that's what an oracle is in crypto

Am I the only one who dislikes winedbg?
I really wish there were alternatives because I feel like a turtle laying on its back when I have to use winedbg
I'm comfortable af using gdb so it sucks that it doesnt have wine compatability or something
Windbg is ugly and hard to learn but very powerful when you master it. You can make it more readable with themes like this: https://github.com/nextco/windbg-readable-theme
Hmm aight
Oh
I was talking about wine``dbg
not windbg
winedbg is the debugger for wine: a linux PE execution framework thing
You could probably use a windows debugger on linux with enough modifications
Or maybe even get a remote debugging instance for some debuggers
hmm windbg is hard indeed (can't even figure out how to set a breakpoint)
can't find anything on it
I just dislike using wine in general. 90% of the time, if you're trying to run something meant for Windows, you should do it on Windows 🤷♂️
Same goes for compilation. 99% of the time it's gonna be easier to compile on the target platform

Are there mitigations for dir busting?
Best way I can come up with is IP banning users based on how many 404s they've activated but that's a bit witty
You could detect based on the amount of requests in a time period, but that can be bypassed by slowing down
fail2ban and rate limiting
you can maybe track 404s to an given ip
Dirbusting isn't the problem, the problem is what you'd find.
Hm fair point, but wouldn't that disturb the attackers' recon?
Which in turn makes it harder to find bugs/vulns*
fail2ban is normally failed logins or # of attempts per minute - does it even work on a web-based interface?
Sure, but it doesn't address the actual issue. Fix the problem, don't just paint over it and pretend it's not there
Yes, it's pretty customizable and can use a variety of logs and sources of ingest to build its rules.
It's also possible just within IPTables to rate-limit people, and within most web engines themselves, and within the database engines behind them, etc. etc. etc.
you can track via nginx
Question. When you post an image to a discord server, it stores the image on a CDN link. Anybody with this link can view my image on another server. How is this secure? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/983959501067681805/983959517043785800/unknown.png
Is it because it's near impossible to brute force all those numbers and the filename in the URL?
I don’t figure it’s secure at all
well, goodluck sending 10^16 webrequests to discord to bruteforce all attachments
Thank you, I will need it.
Gave +1 Rep to @frail rapids
actually, that's server_id/message_id/filename
so you'd need to bruteforce filename as well
Security through obscurity sucks
Security through "the fact you'd never be able to fuzz that much" is not obscurity, it's why we use long key lengths. It's entropy. It's why UUIDs are fine in URLs for similar things.
The real questions are: Is it sequential or random? If random: Can the seed/step be calculated? Or can viable real results be pre-verified (think how the numeric code of a credit-card is mathematically verifiable.)
Basically is it either possible to predict the possibilities, or to calculate in some way to reduce the number of bad requests.
Part of the message ID embeds a unix timestamp
They're snowflake IDs, I think that's what Discord calls them
Yes, they're snowflakes
And ngl I don't think Discord actually care too much about you accessing other images
How does one get access to the fabled "Advanced General" chat? There's mention in the rules about either being top rank or having completed a network. Wreath counts towards that, right?
That should be updated lol, was made when only Throwback was the network
I guess I'll have to add that to the infinite list of challenges to tackle sooner than later.
If there was one infosec/VR skill you wanted to master, what would it be?
I'm kind of split in between binexp and webexp, but in practice I feel stuck in both. I don't know how I can break into real world projects as most of my experience is based on ctfs
I'm definitely split between binex and cryptography because those are the things I'm studying right now, but if you're using/learning from CTFs the right way, real world projects shouldn't be too intimidating.
If you're just running through challenges by copying and pasting commands you don't understand, yeah, the real world isn't like that. But, if you're doing a box, solving it, then going back through some of the source code to really make sure you understand what happened, you shouldn't have that kind of doubt 🤷♂️
I think they seen that people were sharing the links and said screw it lets leave it
Just imagine the people that for whatever reason send personal images of their ID for say and it somehow gets dug up
That would not be good lol

I’d have to go Cryptography and RE, both seems relaxing and cool, and both involve a “clear” solution once you have gotten it, also they both have so much math I just can’t hate it.
disagree with the relaxing bit imo 
Crypto demands my full focus and RE is pain until you find the chain of things you needed to find, and then it feels like a weight has been lifted off of your shoulder
but I do like doing both anyway
They both have the most satisfying solves in cyber
And Cryptography does require focus but once you get the hang of it it’s really chill
They both feel more like Exploit Dev than other stuff in Cyber
But easier, like wayyy easier.
I'm messing with encrypted HTTPS traffic and I see the following
172.16.0.10 -> GET ... HTTPS/1.1 [length 119] -> 172.16.0.20
172.16.0.10 <- RESPONSE HTTPS/1.1 [length 118] <- 172.16.0.20
172.16.0.10 <- RESPONSE HTTPS/1.1 [length 40] <- 172.16.0.20
Packet 3 has a FIN flag. In what scenario and why would the webserver send a 2nd application data response (packet 3)?
A large piece of data could be it but I’m seeing that the packets are pretty small, could be a packet that got lost and resent, is that something possible in your case?
I don't think it's the latter. I have about ~13 of those webserver response sequences and they all have the same length and format
including that 2nd response with FIN
could it be that the webserver is down while the server (machine) is not?
fyi
It looks like it sends two packets every few seconds, and all are the same size, let me look it up rq
Maybe, it’s a webserver sending a video piece by piece, with a low bandwidth?
I probably should've sent both sides, but those are just the server responses
Here's an example of request and response
.10 is the client and .20 is the server
I think so. It's using DH with a http/1.1 and domainname string in it in the init phase
Is it all in the same sequence? The init and the packets
Yeah
Could if be that wireshark is messing up the separation of the packets?
Like the header and footer of the packets is somehow in the middle of the packets?
I don't think so. the metadata about the packets seem right
Something I find odd is that the checksum verification is disabled
Seems like they're all invalid when I enable it
@frail rapids do you have the pcap file? And your question is why is FIN sent?
My question was (more specifically: ) why there's a second response from the server
and yeah, I have the pcap

you mean my thm account im using right now?
The one that is linked to your discord account already
which is another account im not using correct ?
yeah
yea i dont quite remember which account that is though
If I get the URL to the profile would you recognise it to login?
Wait, if i get the 2nd account up and running can you move forward with things from there ?
yup - that would be handy(:

Yes (that's a scam too. someone using someone else to break into a car isn't an excuse to break into every car)
this must hurt (ETH)
I just saw someone recently who said they had all their non-retirement savings in ETH
stocks are fairly cyclical, crypto doesn't have enough time to determine if it will be
GG
Seeing this is better than any antidepressant.
wait, is that a meme or is it serious?
100% true.
so buy the dip?
I know very close to nothing of crypto, but is this what Nixon said or no?
"Buying the dip" involves faith that it'll come back.
I’m not too sure tbh
I am glad I sold all my crypto two weeks ago
Lost a bit but at least I’m not losing more
Did some Kali wallpapers get removed?
From Kali?

Starting my job search in IT for the first time. I'm going to miss sleeping in.
Welcome to adulthood 😄 gl with the search
Lmao you should buy it back when you think it's the bottom of the curve. 300% profit minus fees
Finished my little PHP CRUD app today :p
I put 15 hours into the CSS
I'm starting in a sec engineer position next week and I had like 2 weeks to learn PHP 🙏 (FYI they do know I've barely used any PHP, ever)
it may not seem like a lot but there's a lot of filters to prevent any bugs
Seems cool!
It’s likely to drop further…
doesn't look like to be frozen
try to bring the folder forward
and send a ss
you can't press on the file explorer?
hmm
looks like some services not wanting to start
It's an overrated shitcoin anyway
all crypto are shitcoins
Fair
99% are either speculative assets, unusable in a real context or centralised, most of them are the 3 at the same time
PHP is one of those languages that are great because a lot of common design language applies easily.
It's also one of the languages that will give you enough rope to harm yourself.
If you're uncertain about the security of the code you're writing, look for similar on the Stack and see if anyone's posted similar 😄
@frail rapids and always === if you want something to be exact equal to something
fells kind of refreshing to hear somebody else besides me say this because i'm kind of sick of mostly everybody acting like they have some kind of hidden real life use/purpose besides trading money from a shitcoin to another, through decentralized exchanges or other shady ways of trading these "assets" through a network that is rather wonky, hard to monitor and control etc
Well you are not alone! I heard the same opinion from plenty of people

there are fewer than we think but yeah, glad to see others that don't fall in this emotional trap as i call it 😄
That is true! What do you think about nft?
ufff don't even know what to say, i mean i don't have a strong and informed opinion on it because i am not that well informed about the subject, compared with crypto but from what i have read and saw along the way it's just another type of scam, it compares itself with real life art and wants to sound more valuable and important but in reality it's just digital pictures sold on a lot of money without a strong and valid justification, at least in my opinion...
I mean it is a digital form of art and unique and can not be duplicated! But it is interesting how this stuff is actually releasing every year
Except it's not
It's like a receipt for the art. The art isn't protected at all.
I am not into it much, but from what i have searched a bit i found about that is not duplicated! Thanks for that info! Also then that means someone can copy paste the art?
Gave +1 Rep to @burnt night
Trivially.
It's typically just a link to the image hosted on ipfs, sometimes with an http to ipfs service to you can easily browse to it.
This is interesting! Again thanks for this info! I will dig a bit deeper into this!
If you're interested, folding ideas made a great video on the topic
If someone pitches you on a "great" Web3 project, ask them if it requires buying or selling crypto to do what they say it does.

Most nft's are centralized, actually blockchains and web3 are a lot more centralized than what monkey pfp's want to admit
Sometimes it's even linked to a google drive or another centralized service, i think it was the case with crypto punks
either way when the server dies, you've got nothing
or the server owner can remove and/or modify the image and you have no recourse. Only the receipt is immutable, everything else isn't
The banking fraud reference. People deny it. You can't make this stuff up.
History loves repeating itself
There are multiple ways to deal with the imposter syndrome; one of the ways I see very commonly is to panic and overcompensate to be the 'expert'. This usually doesn't go well in the long term. Another way (and the one I use) is to use that anxiety to drive myself to learn more, both in my primary knowledge domains and to explore the domains that are releated but that I don't touch every day
I used and still use this technic, but i think in the long term it's can be kinda unhealthy, i think it's a good thing to push yourself to be better but i think you have to understand you will never be "good enough"
yeah my strategy is to never quit studying...
My experience comes from an other industry but if available to you find a mentor or someone with more experience. Explain to them how you feeling and try to work together on identifying your weaknesses. Write them down and elaborate an efficient plan to work on them. Never stop studying is always a good philosophy but a good method avoid burn downs.
What I have learned is that is hard to gage your state just by personal perspective but with an external input is easier to have a more accurate assessment
I know where I'm weak. I also tend to either A: work at it 12 hours a day, 7 days until I'm exhausted or B: procrastinate and hate on myself.
Right now, I'm doing B
and I give myself very little room for error before I begin the internal self-deprecation.
It's my own personal hell
This episode explains the science of motivation and drive. I describe how dopamine, a chemical we all make in our brain, underlies our desire for and pursuit of our goals, as well as our capacity to move and experience pleasure. I describe how we can leverage specific behaviors, reward schedules and dopamine-prolactin balance to help ensure we c...
He is a neuroscientist, his very science based approach has helped me a lot.
Also this one may help.

In this episode, I review the science of habit formation and habit elimination and how the process of neuroplasticity (brain rewiring) underlies these processes.
I describe two new systems for habit formation. The first system is grounded in the neuroscience of brain states and our ability to perform (and to avoid) certain tasks at different p...
I'm motivated, I thought. It's all I think about. Idk
I've been going 12-14 hours/day, every day for 4 months.
I feel mentally exhausted. I haven't touched a box in about a month now.
I feel the guilt and anxiety but I'm just so damn tired, between this and work, other commitments, family, social life...
And I'll can think is "you're a lazy piece of s#it... You're not cut out for this"
I mean, it was fun though
Taking brakes is ok and you need to accept it. Motivation / dopamine is a finite but renewable source. Enjoy your brake as it will restore your drive.
I was burnt out before for a freaking long tim
I am feeling a bit motivated from the last 2 days and my academic exams finished so there's that 🥳
Sometimes just take your bicycle/bike and get out of the house and ride 
Helped me a lot
Yeah... Been getting out more. I look to the sky but my eyes burn.
I've been neglecting other important things for this.
Remember that option B (excluding hating on yourself) is OK
I mean, if you managing your time correctly you can put B option like: " now it's my free time for playing games, watching netflix or whatever makes you feel fresh". Also don't force yourself, like now i'ill work for 12 hours straight, in my opinion that can only produce more stress and force you to make an errors.
Work In Progress
That's what I'm reminding myself of, repetitively
Ad nauseam
Seeing that like putting more pressure on yourself, no offense
Well, it seems like "that" or letting that aggressive, negative voice take over.
I'd rather be "aggressively positive"
Idk man. I have "personal issues", if you catch my drift.
that feels like an amazing hack to get around the feeling of being an imposter
What do you suggest doing at that point? I am the same
That is good! And possibly a break, thank you though
i get obsessive. i enjoy myself when I'm doing it and i shut the world out. idk if it's unhealthy or not
i get highly agitated when interupted. i dunno...
maybe i should take a look at that too....
It isn't
Do some resistance training and get creatine
A gymbro advice that has helped me immensely
i do work out occasionally. no creatine tho 
creatine is an experience x2 multiplier
Bruh you do not need it, you can have amazing workouts and results without it
i like combo multipliers
based
opinion rejected tho
You do not need it, but it can help in workouts
opinion rejected twice
get gud + L
You do not need supplements to workout
U Just need to lift big rok
Eat gud
Get big
I agree
Both exercise and interestingly creatine is very good for your brain functions. They also found positives results on adhd people and is very safe as it is the most studied supplement. Is true u dont need it but there is no reason why not to
This person has clearly touched grass, based opinion sir

"ELF virus" is not something that goes out these channels
Ah, mb
Thanks
That's not certain, really a contextual guess
It would make sense, since EP is infected and then jumps to OEP with normal binary code
there's an advanced general?
Yes, you get there with some requirments.
One of them is 0xD
