Hello, does anyone here use FoxyProxy extension?
Used it for burpsuite.
Can you help me with an issue?
Depends what your issue is.
I'm trying to use 127.0.0.1 8080 port proxy, but I can't connect to any website once I turn the proxy connection on
Can you show the foxyproxy config of your browser?
This good?
Your screenshare doesn't load for me

Still?
Go to the proxy settings
Please recommend me a vpn or proxy (free)
Hi I have wifi adaptor tp-link 600ac and i enabled the monitor mode in my kali when I tried airodump-ng but it's not showing any wifi channel or bssid dose someone know how to fix it
Ive just got ubuntu working on Oracle Virtualbox however its performance is quite bad how do I increase it?
Do I just have to assign more resources to it
Sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
Or just disable the monitor mode. I only do that command due to my wifi icon disappearing
I tried it
Tried Which one?
The command
Did you disable monitor mode?
No
Also doing that command should have worked. Not sure what else besides restarting the pc
May e I should try this
Try disabling monitor mode
Ok

Where can I start learning programming? I have maybe an hour or two a day to learn.
Anyone who can guide me on what app or site or how to start?
I lack a laptop and computer. I only have my phone. Help?
iPhone 15 Pro if that helps any?
Hello
@untold oriole did you run sudo airodump-ng IFACE
Torrenting isn't illegal
It's a legit process to download files, however files downloaded can be illegal and against copyright laws
You lack necessary tools
Even tho, you can program on some mobile applications, i never used them. I am pretty sure theyāre useless
Some are good.
I've used one for python (requires payment now so i do not use anymore)
And i have one for JS that works fine. Allows you to do JS, CSS and HTML for your web dev.
But yea i still suggest learning on a PC
Me too am.facing such impedes here too, but it a Kali Linux it keeps running slow or my Oracle VB what do I do please.
Iface
i need help what is the differance between codeing and hacking??
Can someone help me find an app to spy on someone's Instagram account
Like to see their messages and soon
Coding is the process of writing an executable sequence of text known as languages, which can vary depending on what programming languages you are using. Coding generally insinuates the idea of writing executable unique text usually from developing websites, mobile/desktop apps, programming setting networks and database development.
Hacking in one term is a way of making something work unusually, for example, everyone knows how a network communication TCP protocol works but finding a way to manipulate that setup rule to be an anomaly in an unusual pattern can be seen as hacking⦠to generally described hacking it doesn't necessarily mean to break into something or stuff tho it depends on the context and the character/individual.
I use to know if one months ago, I suggest you just go on YouTube that should provides you with solution and alternatives.
I've been looking for a while now and no luck š
Yeah, such could be hard; just try looking out for third-party software that evolves around such cases.
I'll keep looking if u can help me out with finding a suitable one that would be so helpful
Okay, I will.
I appreciate the help š«
I'm glad to hear that! You are welcome.
Hii, I'm new. Can somebody please help me try to hack a wifi?
Bruh
Yup! #šć»rules
Thanks for taking your time.
No worries! Just, donāt ask for anything illicit, as itās not condoned here
Hello, am afraid such questions and help are not condoned here in the #š„ć»help-me channel you get help for asking legal things/queries, but asking about other things like this is highly prohibited by the OWLSEC RULE(s)š· please visit this channel::: #1286135820008296509 for further understanding, thanks.
ask owner what is the pass
Not really "hacking" but does anyone know If I can uncrop a picture that was sent to me, as in taking an already cropped picture and uncropping it without the original
Can anyone explain Kai Linux to me
Kali Linux is a Debian-based Linux distribution designed for penetration testing and security auditing. It is maintained and funded by Offensive Security. The software is based on the Debian Testing branch: most packages Kali uses are imported from the Debian repositories.
Kali Linux contains hundreds of penetration-testing programs (tools), including Armitage (a graphical cyber attack management tool), Nmap (a port scanner), Wireshark (a packet analyzer), Metasploit (penetration testing framework), John the Ripper (a password cracker), sqlmap (automatic SQL injection and database takeover tool), Aircrack-ng (a software suite for penetration-testing wireless LANs), Burp suite and OWASP ZAP web application security scanners, etc.
Kali Linux is an open-source, multi-platform distribution, aimed at advanced Penetration Testing and Security Auditing. Kali Linux provides several hundred common tools and industry specific modifications, targeted towards various information security tasks, such as Penetration Testing, Security Research, Computer Forensics, Reverse Engineering, Vulnerability Management and Red Team testing.

Does anyone know of a way to actually block someone from seeing your Youtube at all?
Youtube only has this Hide User from your channel BS
Welcome! Itās great to have you here. If that's the only option you're seeing on YouTube, I must unfortunately inform you that blocking, banning, or removing people from your channel functions similarly to the hide option. I recently visited my YouTube channel and encountered the same option, so it's safe to say that it all works the same way. Cool, right? ^^
No I actually want to block this person (and a few others) from seeing my page AT ALLā¦
these leeches only subscribe to me to steal and pirate my work⦠I want to at least try to make it difficult for them
That hide function only stops them from commenting
any good free vms?
You have Hyper-V, VirtualBox and VMware.
Hello everyone I'm new here, i want to learn some hacking skills through hack the box or tryhackme. What are the fundamentals i should consider before jumping into these sites ?
To make your first cheat, without cheat engine via c++, where or how would you start?
Okay, I get the whole moral of the story now, try reporting them then YouTube should suggest an option where you can block them completely. If that doesn't work input your queries on the YouTube search bar hope it gives you a solution.
Networking and Linux fundamentals, Web Tech
For educational purposes, plus its not illegal
It is illegal to cheat in games
its a iffy topic
Is it a multiplayer game?
I mean if it's a single player game it doesn't really matter.
Doing this in a multiplayer game probably gets you banned 
Thatās why i asked if itās a multiplayer game
single player
i wouldnt cheat on a multiplayer game
I am not sure if anyone would really tell you here, because it is going to open you a path to cheat in multiplayer games
But it is about interaction with processes
how so?
I mean we talk about hacking in here. That's knowledge that can also be abused.
Cannot go very deep
But you will always end up using Cheat Engine tho.
Some games dont work with cheat engine
It's this convinient.
Look uh
It always works 
Attach to the process
Read/Write mem
Functions
And then the protection related stuff depending on the game
Maybe you tried searching for an integer instead of a floating point.
Do you follow a tutorial that teaches you this stuff?
ive searched for stuff on yt
This video explains how to find static addresses or static pointers in memory with cheat engine.
This methods can be used to manipulate in-game values like health, lives, position etc.

There are a lot of good documents.
These videos don't contain detailed information. That's why I prefere to read.
Any recommended documents?
anyone good with siem?
QRadar an Splunk only.
i got a project on it
Sending you a DM. Don't wanna get beaten up by mods.
like custom one
thanks
You have to write your own SIEM?
idk yet
QRadar has a community edition which is free. Pretty easy to set up.
hmm thanks
Ok so basically I need help creating a RAT. and not with malicious intent to innocents which is not likely for ppl who use RATS. Iāve gotten beamed/hacked so many times and couldnāt do anything abt it bc I didnāt know how to do much. And now all I know how to do is work my way around certain code and see what virus is what. But what I want to learn how to do is make my own RAT, and hack the hackers who try to hack innocents like I was, and make a whole dc server where if ppl need help with tht kinda stuff, I can help them. And then I can let a hacker get they stuff back by making them record themselves doing a good deed (been thinking abt this plan for like a week I just havenāt figured out how to execute). Iād have them like record themselves giving a homeless person money or something and then they could get their information back with no strings, but using my rat, Iād make it to where he couldnāt access wtv tool he uses too which means I have to b ahead in knowledge. So can anyone help with this?
I like suck at texting my thoughts so i can try to like re say it but thatās the basic jist
this isnt a right place for u look for malware devs servers in dc
Even if itās for a good deed?
Ok then can you point me in the direction of someone who can help?
jus told u mate
.....
Ok yea and I asked if you could point me in the right direction š
Doesnāt have to be someone here
Just point me to someone
Man im in your shoes⦠ppl are stealing and sharing my work on all these pirate websites and this is the only conclusion ive come to as well
Exactly like I have no ill intentions
Cant seem to get help in this discord tho⦠I think we are on our own⦠this was the main reason i joined lol
The best RAT is Teamviewer
pay me 20 grand and i will develoop ur malwate š
ps no refunds
How can we know itās for good intentions? We canāt
As simple as that
Especially when asking for RATs lol
Okay! That could get me on board lol
ty
Right
You lost yo mind
I mean touchƩ
because thi server doesnt teadch anything malicious
#also i dmed u @tribal flower
hmmm
Also that! Lol
u think malware are cheap lmao
alr buddy
if u cant afford it stop asking
So cheap
Thatās why some only cost 200k or more lol
Hello, I'm new here
My name is Cipher
I wanna learn hacking
Welcome! We're glad to have you with us.
Ye also depends on the level of malware and for what
It was ironic
is there a tool out there to find the user behind a VPN? I used an IP grabber to get some details, but it only confirmed that this guy is using a VPN (he's stalking and harassing my daughter) so i am looking for a way to get hard evidence - everything is from a burner email or Voip account
What's the best options for creating exploitable VMs on proxmox?
no, unfortunately not in any legal way
best thing you can do is report abuse to the VPN service the harraser is using
sorry in advance because you're probably sick of stuff like this, but I ran this exe foolishly, after that I decided to check what it actually did, and based on how much I could decipher it looks like originally its main goal was to patch chrome (seems it failed at that in reality) and install a RAT ("screenconnect" - tool which is actually provided by a legit company but misused by threat actors), I wiped 'screenconnect' everywhere - services, startup, temporary files, prefetch, any place in which Everything found it and was planning to reinstall soon but can anyone tell me how screwed I am, for example did I miss anything in its behavior that's important
Is the tor browser just a mix of the tor proxy and duckduckgo? Havent used it before but thats what it seems like
I'm learning networking from Network Chuck (great channel btw) but im a bit confused as in his subnetting coffee shop video he says to create 40 new host ips for each shop and according the the video before ips use Nosferatu thats the (128 64 32 16 8 2 1) to find the corresponding number that can hold 40 ips then use that to find the corresponding figure in Nosfera 2 (256 128 64 32 16 8 4 2) but he did it the other way round. Can someone help š¢
So instead of 64 which represents 7 networks being changed to IPs to get the required quantity he did 64 and 6 networks being changed
Interesting. Because I had a case that I've analayzed recently during work. Also about connect wise.
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/3ed23ed48bc6ef0f186e0c30e73b20316c2b0e0a5c76b509c71b156a48bb6ce8
VirusTotal
I did detonate this on my VM but it didn't do much except for creating a service and waiting for connections.
On Reddit I saw people saying that ConnectWise was a greedy company that did nothing about scammers abusing their software
Could be a leverage of executing some kind of RCE that's located inside the
C:\Program Files (x86)\ScreenConnect\App_Extensions\
I did try an use MITM proxy but it doesn't appear that the application did any remote connection to a server.
So then what would the traffic to 'mail.shipmentbg.com' (and the different one in my case) be about
That a good channel to learn a lot from.
Not sure that's also what I asked myself. Maybe there is some kind of certificate pinning which is the reason why I didn't see any network activity on my proxy server.
I assume that the remote code is send to the attacker where they can then remotely login into your machine. This would also explain the listening connection I've seen.
So if that hypothesis is true then eliminating the screen connect files would get rid of it for good?
Probably. Do you also have the same domain?
No, it was some .top domain
Would also check services and registry key
Maybe also installing Malwarebytes and see if it finds something.
Did that, smartconnect embedded itself both in the registry (multiple times) and services so it would run on startup. Removed all of the keys (which wouldn't have worked anyway since the folder and files it pointed to were already deleted) and disabled and deleted the service it created.
Will do
Thanks
By the way it also locked one of its dlls with encryped file system but I disabled it and deleted the dll
Please any trusted platforms and brands, encrypted channels, ports, and protocols to hide my identity
hello me pls , I'm unable to run vnc server on termux probably cause of Android 11 blocked tcp connection help if u know how to fix this
Hi, does anyone have have any link to the assisted lab: Exploiting web authentication video tutorial
vnc on termux or vnc using termux?
So I've been having issues with persistence but only decided to fix it since last night, got a page to show me how to fix but it's just saying I need to have my USB as "/Dev/sdX" but it's nothing like that, and I looked on Redditand found two possible solutions but apparently that's a stupid idea. I'm just very confused at the /Dev/sdX part so I'm not sure if I wanna mess around with that or just do the solutions on Reddit which look alot easier for me
I've installed linux distro on termux , i wanted the gui of it but vnc server doesn't works cause of Android 11 restriction
Are you sure?
Lemme think
Download the xsdl app
In termux, this should overwrite your storage resitrictions:
termux-setup-storage
Any Cisco packet tracer ? Expert
I used to be a content developer for Splunk ES. I've worked with QRadar in the past. Now I do more with data prior to the SIEM. Let me know if you need anything.
YES finally someone who knows about QRadar š
I've also sent data to Chronicle, buuuut.... I don't like it at all.
jus got a project with siem im completely new
will hit u up if neeeded
thanks in advance

Could you recommend a good free place I could practice
What?

Is the dark web just the tor browser? Can I also "simulate" the tor browser with the tor proxy and duckduckgo?
you need tor to access onion links
Hey everyone, this is kind of a last resort. My social media was recently hacked, Facebook and Instagram. They changed my phone numbers emails passwords and got my Facebook account somehow banned for 180 days. I have the hackers email because at 3am I was sent an email that the email was changed but the links to get my account back no longer work. Does anyone have advise or the skills to help. They have been posting some bs crypto scam on my account even using my family photos rom previous post. Insta, Facebook and meta are no help all it is FAQ questions and it continuously loops me. To be honest Iām ready to pay anyone who gets my account back instead of this blackmailer.
Hello Im new here I want to Learn how to find people by there username and get there lp and 6dos. I would be really thankful and could pay.
How do you scan the Cap machine in HTB am having trouble finding the answer to how many open TCPās are there.
learn OSINT. You'll understand how to find them. This is an ethical server & we don't accept malicious agreements. Learn it on your own. check #1181325692823150642 #šµć»intel-and-investigation
I recommend using tails OS it's safer
lol
Well it does use onion links only and randomises your IP address
so
tor
ā ļø
wait till bro hears about letterboxing
I'm not searching that
why
Just explain please
its fingerprinting based off screen resolution and size
thats why you dont fullscreen using tor
Eh not too common now you can use fullscreen on tor https://preview.redd.it/l12e9drmkbx61.png?auto=webp&s=b634aa42df12660972ee6a460dbd503b85d6a7bb there are these little borders to prevent that so you can use full screen
oh cool cool
It sad to hear you lament, that a social engineering attack and sure the hacker is someone that knows you and get they ways to private data which are your account passwords and gmails.
That only way can help you is if you can get more than 10 different users to Facebook to help you report the acc that it is a scam/fraud and the account was hacked.
Whatās a good way to practice coding
code
By writing it
by creating mini projects
What kinda of coding do you wanna practice?
Thanks
Whatās lp and 6dos
im learning more and more about bug bounties, but i feel stuck. I dont know what tools i should use, and i feel like im lacking "practical knowledge". When i start looking into a website, i dont know what to look for and what to do. What could i do to get over this "phase"?
wouldnt say im noob but alr
You need to head there either way.
why is that?
Is it possible for someone to move from rank 5 to rank 10 in a day if you are actively working and texting in the server channels all day.
šŖ²
Yahhh
Roger
??
i am not in the server texting all day, i barely am in the server, since i have things i have to do in real life
Tell me about itš„¹
what are you on about bro
It hard to say⦠I tell if am ice š§ or hot š„.
Anyone who knows about API?
check pins in #š¬ć»old-gen-chat
Yeah it's Application programming interface, it basically help multiple or different software communicate and interact with each other without any need of restructuring the software in a cellular or specific needs to fit in with the other software. APIs are vary and can be developed for various reasons and needs.
i'm planning to buy one for mobile app but i could find info about specific
Hi i'm a complete beginner, can someone show me how to get in to a WiFi without knowing the password?
Lol
Don't be unreal
public wifi
Beginner at getting into wifi? or beginner at reading the rules
check #1286135820008296509 and #šć»rules
yea wasn't about some random WiFi, a family member forgot their Password and now they do't have Wifi access hahahaha
Oh, do actually buying them or you just need to get them developed by programming it. I just saying thoā¦
hey so I got this laptop that doesnt have an overcharge prevention but it charges using a USB C, could I charge it with a phone charger instead to make it charge slower or is that dangerous
they both convert to DC right?
Its like a human baby trying to unplug and plug it back in constantly
The battery life is 3 hours and the charge time is an hour and a half
if I unplug it I gotta set a timer before the whole thing drains and ruins the battery life
its a high quality laptop its just a fun lack of design foresight
Don't try it man, such can be risky
There is no spot in the bios to set the max charge %?
nope its XPS dell
thanks oh well
use dell command
hello , everyone i am new here & i want some help ! can anyone help me ?
thanks I'll look into it :3
@woven anvil can u help please !
You welcome.
better safe than sorry
Did you read all of the rules?
Am sorry you are technically asking for a means to break into a network that you don't have access to; such questions or help are not accepted here in the OWLSEC server. Please visit #šć»rules #1286135820008296509 for further understanding, cheers.š«”
@woven anvil yeah i've gone through it , and i am very sure that i have'nt broke any of it
then whats up
Yes, I can help if it is within my capacity. I am grateful for the opportunity to assist.
Why does this read like a ChatGPT response 
no i am not asking to break any network , i have a folder which i looked using adobe flash player nd i have forgotten the password , i've tried my level best but i can not crack it ...so please help me
can anyone help me ?
@woven anvil can u help me ?
How did you forget your own password?
i was a kid back then dude
now i am 24 ....its was like a immature stage of mine back then
And that folder is password protected? On your local machine?
If your password exceeds 5 characters you can spend a few years in cracking it
i have no idea what i have used as a password
back then i was immature
can anyone help me ?
I don't believe so. I don't believe asking for help cracking passwords is acceptable here.
They do have a #š„ć»new-member-guide here though.
no no i am being honest ...... i am ready to send the file
why would i mess with hackers ? when i have zero knowledge about hacking nd other stuff !
@woven anvil yeah but i am not asking to hack any account
i have my own folder which i have lost password
just asking for help ..... if i had the knowledge i could have done it by myslef
can't anyone help me ?
What is your question again.
Hack a folder password
Is that your own intellectual property?
Are you authorised if so send some proof.
It doesn't matter if its his own or not. I don't think we are suppose to do it
You are either right or wrong, but you can understand the reason why we won't assist those who need help if they are trying to use it for their own product or service. Explain why?
rar file?
or jus a win locked folder?
You back.šš
u sad?
anyone to yeet š
You know it all don't you? ^U^
No, not atm.
not enough info to solve it
I'm trying to gather more information about his intended support and whether he has proof of authorization, but he hasn't responded yet.
That right, but he's trying to decrypt a file.
ok thats easy too
Sorry a folder.
Yeah
Honestly, and YouTube too.
Have fun cracking an AES-256 encrypted file.
u too
I was thinking about doing the necessary research for him, but before then I've asked him to send in a proof that he has the right to decrypt that folder if he owns the data in it.
@kind plinth hey it's me who's asking for help ....yes it's my property , and I fully acknowledg that I am not abusing other or using it for any harmful reasons
Now talk to the admod he's here to help you out.
@kind plinth what can I send u like proofs ... Picture of usb ? Or the file it self
@chilly merlin
Pls help me š anyone
Just tell him the necessary thing to do.
idk either
Cracking an AES-256 encrypted folder is exceptionally challenging and often impractical without proper authorization or a critical weakness in its implementation.
rip
Bro even if you tell me ... I have zero knowledge about hacking ( any type of hacking)
Yeah I did tried
weak pass make a wordlist and try ur luck
Okay.
O.K
mate do a good research
Done ......but no use ... trying for a month now but no use ......
rip
My last resort is this server now
im helpless
I heard world best hackers meet here so I came here
It's a adobe flash player locked file
bruteforce it, your month of search would have let you crack it if you started bruteforcing that long ago
sad part is best hackers are all offline
except trap
I mean cracking passwords offline is basic, during a CTF. But you at least know that the password is inside a wordlist.
Thank you.
as u said cracking it requires computing power quantum level ig
Here to the dude who want to decrypt the folder on his pc; simply try this commands.
5 mins silence
what are you saying lol, if its protected by a password its not bad
aes -256
yea?
Do we know its aes?
dont matter, if your offline you have infinite time, multithreading this on a vps is simple as s
Cracking it could range from a few seconds to a few thousand years depending on the lenght 
this
depends on keys he used
i mean symbols nuumbers and alphabets
I create my password by rolling my face across the keyboard.
baaka
jk I use Keepass
what is that
lol
Password manager
ok
I have over 100 passwords stored for all my accounts 
That's why you use 1 password for all of your accounts?
But I was a immature back then like those anime chunibyo type @crisp star
Lol
Lol me dude lol me
No

not a noob but i use tryhackme never tried hack the box
What is that?
Red said to ask chat gpt to solve my problem....so I said I've done that
Okay that cool.
Is hack the box on discord or you mean their website
Please
obviously website bro how can you list challenges on discord
Iām very very new to this I knew about the web one so I thought you were talking about something else
Probably on their website, but they still got their Discord server if you like to join it no qualms that should be your choice.^^
Exactly.

On mobile

Hello can anyone help me wit free strong vpn or residential socks5
Yes, I'm in a new relationship but I feel somethings off. We've only been dating about 2 weeks. Ik he's been to jail for assault but I want to make sure that's all
That would easily get your devices compromised, because seeking for free service else you want to be the product.
Btw using free VPN is not safe and ideal it best to use VPNs that you paid for well-authenticated security and wont sell out your data to third parties.
Well I aware about that but the things is finding the right one .. Iām using it for dating sites and carding
Okay I hope this helps you out:
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DERsyIgueD_/?igsh=NjA0eWg5c3Z4bmll
Thanks!
Am glad I could help.^^
Bro i donāt think itās worth it because a woman who really appreciates you and respects you spiny give you a reason to be suspicious even to the extend of stalking her .. this is a sign for you to back out of it
This has some points.
I just want to make sure I'm safe. Honestly I feel we don't know much about each other we're still in the dating stage. He's been caught lying about things before so I want to at least make sure he told the truth about the basics yk
Yeah I understand how you think about it, just play it safe with him ok.
And don't force the friendship.^^

I get you
All I can tell you is whenever youāre having a convo and you ask him a question , if something doesnāt make sense to you then heās lying . If something sounds too good to be true then thatās exactly what it is
I have it so far open in a full screen mode but limited functionality in terms of complete control of mouse clicks and mouse actions like drag and select. Keyboard works but is also limited and needs to be expanded for full functionality other then that it is a working script
Intergrating Ngrok as well to deploy automatically upon server setup to port forward the server using the tunnel method.
What do you mean, and what support are seeking for?
hello, i hope all is well, im currently looking for some help with a game mod menu on ios, if you have experience please message me (menu+login+functions already mostly completed i just wanted some help adding more functionality and figuring out a glitch)
well its in the name, you just mod
the game externally
its makes you a lot of money selling it, ive made around 15k on the previous version of this game
i know some who have made 55k, 200k, and one guy even 500k, we all just sell keys to our mod menus and people use them
im quite beginner in this its why i need some help finding functions
this isnt unethical bro, the devs allow us to do this because its a mod.. not a hack..
If youāre absolutely lost just watch this

whats the best facial recognitions?
Your eyes - look at them
smart
I mean, have you even searched?
Wdym
yeahhh, we tryna figure out if someone is catfishing
they obv show signs of a catfish
Image search existsā¦

If they show signs, then wtf do you need facial recognition?
Just stop
How will facial recognition help you determine if they are catfishing or not?
can anyone here help me with flask security and licensing software?
What exactly do you need help with?
securing/creating licensing software,currently i have a very basic one that needs upgrade and security as it can easily be cracked
n
Well you lasted 6 minutes, didn't ya
So you want to secure software from being copied that you intend to distribute?
user buys license from me and enters into software to gain access, now some people crack these softwares (has happened to me before) they did it by mimicing the http request to gain entry, now i need to secure the server so people cannot do such things to gain access easily
Use JWT
Or some other secure token system for auth
Whatever fits you
good idea but i would need to use a third party software, i want to use my own but secure it
Yea then bind license keys to hardware
Maybe MAC
yes iām doing that with UUID, (this is ios)
im trying to make my server secure to people csnt crack it like they did with other softwares and even mine
Yea u can do alot of stuff like encryption and pinning the certificate and HMAC
ok thanks i didnāt think of those, now last question is where would i go about learning such? just put flask server encryption or flask hmac on yt? or do you have any good recommendations
once again i really appreciate the help
Your welcome, and uh yea you can search on youtube āflask server encryptionā āflask HMAC authā
Thereās also some courses like flask security essentials
perfect thanks my man
If you're distributing your software, then I'm afraid you'll always have issues with piracy. Have you thought of adapting it to a service model, if applicable?
(e.g. you host it, provide access, but the customer does not obtain access to the source) @edgy ibex
the customer cannot obtain access to the source because it is encrypted and obfuscated, the problem isnāt the file itās the server
my obfuscation is my strong suite, ofc itās not uncrackable nothing is, but itās a malware grade
Even if it's encrypted, if they are able to execute it, someone will be able to break it.
Anyway, you say the problem is the server?
yes
100% just like with any software, but itāll take skill and time,
So what.. people are accessing the services when they are not meant to? Is there any authentication or license management in place?
yes
ShuTDOWN had some good points for sure
yea he helped me out a lot,
i canāt send pics/vids here can i dm u what it looks like
like how it works
One important thing.. make sure you can attribute requests to a license
wdym?
As in.. requests are attributed to a licenses owner
Then, if they share their key or whatever, you can see the anonmalys traffic and lead it back to them
Removing the license key from the server if required, cutting access.
yes i can bc its UUID, i actually made it auto ban if it connects to something other then the one it was first bound to our assigned to

Is world coin verification safe ?
It Is Indeed Safe
hello fast quastion.. so in country that i life i cant use 3d gataway payment for shopify.. i open a stripe acount but after 3 weeks they just paused my acount with massenge '' to high volum'' (100$ -_-)
and i want to ask which website or online platform should i use that can allow me to use 2d ?
Too high volume usually indicates too many fraudulent payment attempts. There is no such thing as 2d.
Not with stripe, anyway
Maybe don't use fraudulent cards. Just an idea.
Oh, apparently Stripe supports 2D payment gateways still, weird. I thought they were phased out.
But yeah.. that error is an indication of too many failed payments due to fraud. Tut tut.
Hey guys!
I have lost two iphone 16 pro max and 15 pro max. I tried to locate it but it is turned off, anyone who will help me locate it?
Anyone please?
The only person who can help you is you with the find my phone features.
Or by looking really really hard
No
Any software I can use please
It is taking me somewhere near my house but I don't if it is buried
No
If it's off, you're out of luck.
Last location would probably be shown on your account I'd imagine, but not sure.
Thanks
Thanks man
You're welcome
what are the differences? I understand that tails is an os and tor is just a browser, but does tor have any vulnerabilities compared to tailsos?
also can I use tails from a vm or do I have to start it via USB?
I have an old instagram account that I have been trying to get access to for years. I know the password and everything, but.... Whenever I try to login, a message saying "we detected an unusual login attempt" comes up and I can't verify myself because I don't remember which email I used to sign up with. The account is completely unused, I created it and never logged in again. The account username, instagram.com/rosengardff
contact instagram support
Hey guys I got a question
Tor is a browser that uses the Tor Network for browsing, while Tails uses Tor Network for all internet connections.
Don't assume that Tor is totally safe though
What is HackyPi device use for and how do I use it; I thinking about purchasing it from Amazon
Ofc
IF you're doing dodgy stuff.. you're still taking a risk
Tails includes additional tools
Itās a compact USB device it has data logging, keystroke injection and other stuff
To program it you want to install necessary software and drivers
Dev and load your scripts to HackPi and deploy it
Thanks for the information what driver does it use
Am about to purchase it rn together with kali Linux basic for beginners by OCCUPYTHEWEB
You probably got HID supported so you do not need extra drivers
For the software you can use Thonny IDE
Itās good for this
Please can you elaborate more on this HID thing thanks
HID is a protocol used for communication between devices and computers
HID stands for Human Interface Device. It is a class of devices primarily used to interact with computers and other electronic systems. These devices allow humans to input data into or receive data from the system. The term is commonly associated with USB and Bluetooth devices.
Used for peripherals like keyboards, game controllers etcā¦
Okay but will the HackyPi device come with Manual guide on how to configure it and the rest
I donāt really know
You will probably have to ask the seller
Or check if they posted anything about a manual guide coming with it
Okay, sounds perfect to me now.
Okay
Ok that good; thank you Mr. RED^^

Mr Platypus
š
Probably getting it from amzn I don't know if I can contact the seller through them.
š¤·āāļø never used Amazon
TEMU user spotted
I never shopped onlineā¦
Alright thanks
Yea always going to the store and looking for stuff š
yo guys how do i connect HTB academy to my terminal?
Let me break it down for ya

Should you have any further problems, shout here I guess? š
This doesnt open brotha
Ohhhh u were tryna be funny⦠i gotcha
Lol real snobby in here huh
Just ethical
I gotcha
I see⦠thanks, appreciate the straight answer
hi there so I'm new to this space and i have a few questions i want to ask here so I would really appreciate it if someone could answer a few of these and help me out.
- is TryHackMe a good place to start primarily going through the free roadmap?
- How much should i actually learn and will the TryHackMe courses be enough for me to get on a road to do some challenges and labs
- Collage options, Now i know i don't really need it but I want to do it for my own peace of mind and I know from close personal experiences what no degree can do to a career, I have a few options two primary ones are Computer and information technology in Ljubljana, just for the fact i can change my country and go to it (free tuition) and meet new people and of course network or myb go and stick to my hometown and study for "Bachelor of Electrical Engineering, Department of Automation and Electronics"
- what are some other tools or websites I can use to learn free and paid?
- Is it better to get a machine running Linux ASAP so i can start learning it from the get-go. I've already had Linux before. popOS to be exact, but had to reinstall windows due to my current job and work. But I do have an older-ish laptop that can be perfect for this use. If it is a good idea to get linux what distro should i go for.
sorry i had to send it like this my message kept getting blocked so i had to find where the problem was but if anyone can be of help just for even one question i would greatly appeciate it
There was a channel.. but not sure where it went
- Yes, there are other platforms out there (cough HackTheBox cough - disclaimer, I'm with HTB, so biased), Port Swigger, Offensive Security etc
- How much you should learn is up to you - keep learning until you feel you need more of a challenge, and then seek out that challenge
- I can't comment much on college, as I never passed a full term. I suppose, check out the curriculums, see if any have a focus that interest you in the direction you want to take in your future career?
- The above in 1 should be enough to get you started, but some other resources.. https://ippsec.rocks, https://0xdf.gitlab.io/, https://vulnhub.com, https://exploitdb.com. The first two links are focused mostly on Hack The Box writeups and videos (again, biased), VulnHub has some excellent vulnerable by design machines to download, and exploitdb is a good resource for finding exploits for vulnerabilities.
- Machine Learning is certainly a hot topic right now, and IMHO you'd be good to at least brush up on the foundations / theory behind it
You see... I can post something helpful first time..
š
Wow thank you so much for this
No worries š
Ill be sure to check out the resources you gave in the message
Thanks man again. Spread love ā¤ļø
ā¤ļø
Oh, I can't stop there of course
Why not be as vain as I can
Some writeups from CVEs and VulnHub, CTFs that I wrote ages ago š¤£
VulnHub really helped me get back in to security
and searching for vulnerabilities and working on the process of responsible disclosure helped to cement the ethics behind what it means to be a hacker, for good
Ok, they were just WordPress vulnerabilities
but some had more than 10 installations!!!

hello everyone quick question can I get hacked if someone has my MAC
Your identity might compromise
can u help
Someone can't directly hack you cause they don't exactly know your ip and mac is only on local network
What about the private network IP and MAC
You won't get hacked but if the person has the right tools and resources they can determine what type of device you are using and your network but I think they can access them.
yes
if theyre on ur wifi
ok what if I need to hack a device for ethical reasons šš
I am a beginner though
is it possible
in what situation would you need to hack a device for ethical reasons

In short for companies to learn vulnerabilities in their systems and have them fixed. Look up red teaming
I'm using Asus ROG M16 2022, i9 12th gen, 32gig ram
I've used Kali, Parrot, Arch, Ubuntu etc on VMware. Nothing works good, it lags a lot. If I try opening firefox or brave on Kali VM, it freezes for 3-5 seconds. I can't watch a youtube video, it lags a lot and nothing is there.
I tried disabling core isolation, disabling virtualization on bios etc. Nothing works.
I'm serious at this point and really need a solution. Please help me :[
It sounds like youāre running into some performance issues with your virtual machines despite having strong hardware. One thing you could try is adjusting the VM settings, like increasing the allocated RAM and CPU cores to better match your systemās capabilities. You might also want to check if the VMware tools are installed and up-to-date, as this can significantly improve performance. Additionally, ensure your systemās power settings are set to high performance, and check if any unnecessary background processes are consuming resources. Sometimes, switching to a different virtualization tool like VirtualBox or Hyper-V can also make a difference. Let me know how it goes!
4 processors core
8gb ram
vm tools installed
everything thing is up to date
Gonna switch over vbox
One thing to also consider is that your video will be 100% Software rendered. This shouldn't slow down the entire thing like you are experiencing, but it is an expectation that should be there that this could specifically be slow as well, like for youtube.
You also need virtualization enabled in BIOS for it to work properly i think(VT-d + VT-x for intel)
It is enabled and still the same
Is this your main PC? or a separate "server" pc
guys if 300ms lower than 1000ms that means 300ms faster or slower?
main PC
It means that the distance is shorter between hops, or some network hardware or server isn't able to keep up with its load. Look up Traceroute or "MTR/Win-MTR" to be able to see these paths, and how they can effect latency. Speed/Bandwidth is independant.

Hello
Do anyone know how to reset a windows PC BIOS Password, I want to set dual boot persistent to my Kali Linux live USB bootable drive to run on my PC; but my BIOS set up is requiring for an administrator password can anyone help me out with this I got the laptop for a phone and laptop store down our street last year and I haven't encountered any issues using it⦠but right now I just to modify some setting in the system BIOS and I don't have any clue what the password is can anyone relate with this or recommend a way I can fix this?
I have watch some couple of videos on YouTube where I need to disassemble the PC and carry out some 5 times power button key press to help factory rest the BIOS password but still doesn't work.
Is it your laptop?
Yeah 100% its mine
Would you be careful while opening it
?
You need to search where the CMOS battery is located in your laptop
Yeah it was last year I opened the bottom part of it but it still does serves the purpose why I opened it
Yeah I got the battery and I remember doing something a little piece of microchip there I can fully remember it name but that still doesn't change or reset the password; my friend told I can purchase a new microchip and replace it there to get the bios set up erased and new to be set up again, but it all a pain fr.
You need to remove the coin like battery for a few minutes while the machine is off then, it should reset BIOS
Yeah exactly that was what I did I can remember now I disconnect the bios microchip form of a little wire or cord from another end where it was connected to and pressed the power button 5 times while the pc was shut down still doesn't reset the BIOS
Hmmm š¤ a video would have make this sound applicable:(

Looks simple enough. Where is it not working?
urhh the mls is able to ping to the dhcp router however the pcs are unable to get an ip
does the dhcp router see the broadcast packets, and reply to them?
i think the mls has the issue
they do that means my ospf too is working
i think i foundthe issue

Go to clouddflare, start a plan
Disconnect the device from the internet
If jts a router turn off your router for 10 mins

Either way most routers have d d o s protection..

this is related to ethical hacking haven't you played wargames
if you don't know then its best to stay quiet @spiral notch
I didn't know roblox programming was different than any other programming O,o
this supposed to be funny ?
Not really. You could learn programming minecraft redstone assembly, and it would still be relevant to learning any programming which would be related to cybersec
I don't think the source of the information matters
but its still related to the question i asked regarding where i can learn it for specialization
learning a ruby on rails framework is not going to help me to script
going from 0 to something will progress someone into anything else.
I think replies got mixed up
hey
I don't know what steps i should follow
Im searching for 7 hours now
no solution, what should I start with? learning cpp and python and os&network basics then what?
I want to be a red teamer but its getting frustrating that none is helping properly on google, youtube etc
I don't have a clear roadmap if u could tell thankfully
like how am i supposed to gain the pen testing and red team knowledge?
as well as learning owasp 10 and practicing in labs, what to learn so i can code easily
what people mention is " learn programming, os&network basics " and owasp 10 and you're ready and that cant be cybersecurity at all

hello wonderful people. im trying to find vulnerabilities in my own network. and when I try to ping my own IP address it is not working, is it because im pinging myself? or is it becuase I use a mobile wifi / mobile data as my internet
Need to be on same network to ping ur ip
Try pinging 127.0.0.1
Elaborate the problem clearly in english
Why u tryna to get ur public ip for scanning
I'm trying to find vulnerabilities in my own home network
Ok no need for public ip
No I have it. it does not ping
private ip like where the user inferface for the wifi is
-
Define Scope: Identify and list all devices on your network.
-
Scan Devices: Use nmap to discover open ports and services:
nmap -sV 192.168.0.1/24
-
Vulnerability Scanning: Use tools like Nessus, OpenVAS, or Nikto for detecting misconfigurations or outdated software.
-
Check Credentials: Test for weak or default passwords with tools like Hydra.
-
Analyze Traffic: Use Wireshark to monitor traffic for anomalies or unencrypted data.
-
Wi-Fi Security: Ensure WPA3/WPA2 is used and passwords are strictly
yeah so i was just gonna use nmap lol
im only beginning here no idea what the other tools do
Now then
