[amber creek]

I am trying to replicate what I've done on discord to a different social media and all attempts leads to failure.

[chrome wasp]

yeaa a lot if sites recognize it immediately,thats the problem

[halcyon flame]

Well, what is the process you followed on Discord?

You're asking for us to provide you with a method for a method you've forgotten for a platform that you don't have a method for

[amber creek]

💀 i said i needed help

[halcyon flame]

I'm trying to help

but you're not providing anything that helps me to help

[amber creek]

yeah i cant

because i have to boost the server

[halcyon flame]

Yeah, because you don't

What lol

[amber creek]

???

what you even saying

[halcyon flame]

Because you have to boost the server?

What are YOU even saying?

[chrome wasp]

thats a lot of methods but thanks anywyz.

[vagrant mason]

Best way to frp bypass Samsung a15 5g?

Without pc

[amber creek]

are you misinterpretting what im saying purposely?

[halcyon flame]

That wasn't for you, that was for huzzies.

[chrome wasp]

my bad.

[halcyon flame]

You're saying a lot, but then nothing at all. Find help from someone else

[vagrant mason]

I need help

[amber creek]

💀 no no im saying a lot and i would provide anything but im not paying 5 dollars on boosting the server

[vagrant mason]

Anyone ?

[halcyon flame]

So, you need to boost the server to find the exif data @amber creek ?

[amber creek]

si

[halcyon flame]

That's just not true

The data is stripped.

Full stop, finito

[amber creek]

no thats not what im saying.

[halcyon flame]

Oh my god

[chrome wasp]

its easy is on youtube bro

[amber creek]

i have to BOOST the server for image perms.

[vagrant mason]

@amber creek best way to frp bypass Samsung a15 5g without pc

[halcyon flame]

You don't, and I don't need an image

[amber creek]

i dont know what to do i specialize on iphone

[halcyon flame]

Use your big boy words

[amber creek]

r u purposely ragebaiting?

[vagrant mason]

@chrome wasp I've tried YouTube

[halcyon flame]

No, you're just making no sense. Only now have you made it almost clear that you are unable to post an image because you think you need to boost the server first

Why has that taken 10 minutes for you to communicate?

[amber creek]

💀 explaining every single move and how ts works and have to baby it down is stupid

i only inquire assistance bruh

[vagrant mason]

@amber creek can you direct me to who might know?

[amber creek]

i js came here

[vagrant mason]

Gotcha

[halcyon flame]

Ok, well good luck. To whoever wants to try and help you, explain your problem clearly. So far, you've made absolutely no sense at all, and I've tried my best to find out what you're actually asking for help with. You say you want exif data from social media that has stripped it? You can't get it. You say you've obtained it already from Discord, but can't say anything about how, yet want to obtain it from other platforms.. good luck.

If I've the wrong end of the stick, like I said.. explain your problem clearly

[chrome wasp]

anyone have good bins for sites guyz

[amber creek]

i have a screenshot of the person's exif data

[main wren]

Hey, I'm using autopsy to do a lab assignment. So I found a file that's been altered the filename says cover page.jpgc and all the values when I examined in hxd shows F6 F6 F6 F6... How can I view the file? Like changing the header didn't work since all the contents like the hex is F6 F6 F6...

[amber creek]

windows mac or linux

[main wren]

Pretty sure that the extension is jpg since it was mentioned by the professor when he asked a question in the lab word document

Windows

[halcyon flame]

...and?

[main wren]

But does the os matter?

[amber creek]

i can easily grab the exif data of any user on discord for security purposes

[halcyon flame]

Ok, grab mine, I can share a photo

[chrome wasp]

non vbv that smash?

[main wren]

Anyone knows how to fix it?

[amber creek]

sure but im training every photo on discord on the ai

[halcyon flame]

Bullshit

If you want to find the location of someone based upon images they've posted on social, you should've just started with that

then we wouldn't have both wasted the past 15 minutes of our life

[amber creek]

😭 bruh what u even talking about

i said METAdata NOT geolocation

[halcyon flame]

metadata contains GPS coords

Which is what you said above

omg

Ok nevermind, I'm done

[amber creek]

😭 bro is a bit slow

[halcyon flame]

Explain it to the next person properly, not by crapping words out of your arse

You're the one that's made no sense buddie

Laters taters

[amber creek]

u are illiterate srs

u are hallucinating things ive never said and misinterpretating every word i typed out

[dim stirrup]

I don't know if I'm ok at IBM , obviously it's a good good idea to start up yours

But for now I still need to get the basic instructions and knowledge before jumping into a huge project dream like that

I do believe in small beginnings but at the same you need to weigh your options

This is just a server for you to learn cybersecurity/ethical hacking

[granite steppe]

I didn't ask you to hack anything I just want to gain knowledge

[chilly merlin]

numlookup.com

beenverified.com

or just any simple osint tool

[spiral notch]

knowledge that is unethical and can be used illegally

[keen topaz]

can u locate or find someone IP from their instagram ?

[keen topaz]

its not to take the account but still thank you for that i hadnt read it so sorry

i just wanted to know how can i know if 3 different account come from the same person

[chilly merlin]

nope unless you can find them in a db breach, doing so could be impossible.

[gloomy radish]

This is the wrong type of server for that kind of thing. You may need a server that deals with business ventures or the like.

[granite steppe]

...

[chilly merlin]

they have to say that

just say ok then move on

😭

[chilly merlin]

I get that but isn’t everything to do with cyber security able to be used unethically and illegally? Like every piece of knowledge on this server falls under that

[spiral notch]

Not every. A lot to do with blue teaming is configuring networks for security.

It's mostly the offensive security part

[chilly merlin]

So then what ? No teaching about offensive security because it could be misused ?

[chilly eagle]

we will help you to learn

ethical things

[spiral notch]

..and often leave out the part where u can use it unethically

[misty mica]

anyone can help me with line following robots coding?

[chilly merlin]

No information is inherently unethical to know that makes no sense

You can’t dictate peoples actions after learning this information so why bother

Alr

Hey guys, I got a scam text the typical “Your package is lost” message. Does anyone know an OSINT tool I can use to track the phone numbers?

[hearty bear]

truecaller u can try or PhoneInfoga

[turbid flume]

even then I doubt those scammers phones would show anything legit

[turbid flume]

honestly your best bet is reverse engineering the scam link they send

honestly I don't think there's anything else you can do with it

[clever rune]

If its not your ‘package’, theres no real reason to track the phone numbers really and best bet is to ignore it completely tbh and will cause u no harm. Truecaller works to an extent but no where near where it needs to be for what u r typically referring to in this situation. Always best to just leave them alone and dont click nothing in the message which im sure u know already hopefully🤞🏻

[true briar]

Yes

[chilly merlin]

numlookup, PhoneInfoga, truecaller, spydialer.com

[random cargo]

hey guys my tvs computers phones, social media, car, tv chanels are all hacked

i would not mind so much if i did not have small children who get dressed in the house after taking a bath

the authorities dont belive me

i have did all you guys instructed to protect and defend my accts but have not had any success

[turbid flume]

how do you know they are hacked?

[random cargo]

my camera comes on randomly on my tv

a small light

display comes on in car when car is not on

i get alot of feed back on my phone when making a call

when i make a call the light comes on

i used pentester and had several email accounts come up that were fake

with my name

is that a general feeling

someone reached out to me and got me to leave my houseduring the day posing as someone who i know when i left my house and realzed i had been tricked i was worry about my faimly at home as there are children and women there i thought what if they god me away from home to attack them

are there any service that provide active hacking protection

are there any services here that provide hacking insurance

[chilly merlin]

if im planning to learn hacking on a vm, and i target my main machine like an account i have on that machine is that fine?

[crisp star]

Why not just do TryHackMe?

[turbid flume]

I'm not sure how that'd work

What software are you running on the vm

Like os I mean

[abstract solstice]

Hi new here and one of the ways I recently discovered someone had access to my device was thru a site called shodan I briefly visited and it was pretty dark

I looked in the search bar but does anybody have any experience with an icopy xs?

[chilly merlin]

linux

[turbid flume]

why don't you get like an RPI and attack your main machine

Might work easier / better

[chilly merlin]

idk im new to all of this

was just curious

[turbid flume]

yeah I'm lowk not sure

but I know if you install Linux on a raspberry pi

It'd work way easier

Than trying to use a vm

[chilly merlin]

oh ok

[turbid flume]

just you need a second screen and keyboard

[chilly merlin]

yh i got thayt

[turbid flume]

Also HTB is basically that

You hack a remote machine from HTB

But from your vm

[chilly merlin]

yeah

[loud vigil]

How can I setup setoolkit on remote network

[chilly merlin]

Use a vps

That runs on either Ubuntu or Kali

[eager knot]

did you make sure that the path for the task can be found?

[silver nexus]

yes

i have changed it

but it still wont detect

[eager knot]

i'd say try and log activity for the task scheduler event first, see if it actually captures taffic or if it can be detected by the system

if not then something might be wrong with the detection of the task itself

[mint smelt]

Does anybody know how to hack/overload wireless cameras such as ring cameras, nest cameras etc from the street? I'm going to start a channel on how to avoid new age criminals and burglars and i want to show the ways people go into house almost undetected. Obviously leaving out key details so that people will mainly know how to avoid it rather than do it.

[whole wave]

just put black tape on their lenses

[spiral notch]

If you don't know yourself, why teach?

[hearty bear]

Check your logs to see if events from Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Operational are actually arriving in Wazuh.

Validate fields in your raw logs (e.g., win.system.channel vs. winlog.channel). Adjust the rules if needed.

Remove or simplify <if_sid> references for debugging; confirm each step is triggering.

Verify unique rule IDs and correct Wazuh syntax (no XML or referencing errors).

Restart Wazuh Manager and check logs for load errors.

Make sure your test actually triggers the event ID and TaskName you specified.

By following these steps—particularly verifying your raw event data fields and ensuring your custom rule file is actually loaded—you should be able to isolate why your Task Scheduler rules are not firing. Once you confirm that the data is being ingested and the field names match, you can re-introduce the <if_sid> chain and finalize the logic.

[sturdy lance]

Hello, sorry for the late reply. Hopefully you got your stuff settled, if not and you still believe that your network is still compromised, talk to your Internet Provider and it’s their job to clean the network up for you or check for any unauthorized access.

[sturdy lance]

What type of card? Is it an RFID/NFC based key?

[sturdy lance]

About Shodan, it is indeed “dark” or unsettling because it exposes open ports and services running on a range of devices.

[dark wadi]

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice on cybersecurity careers. Is it necessary to have one or more certifications to land a decent job in this field, or is hands-on experience and skills enough? If you have any insights or personal experiences, I’d really appreciate your input.

[sturdy lance]

And for the next time, refrain from accessing such search engines or any software that seem malicious or un supervised without taking necessary steps to protect yourself from being a vulnerable target.

[sturdy lance]

Do you have any specific role in mind?

[dark wadi]

Red team or pentesting

[dark wadi]

Red team and pentesting

[sturdy lance]

For Red teaming and pentesting, what matters here is hands on skills more than certificates. Must have skills and experience like, in Networking & Security, OS (Strong knowledge of Linux) and also Windows, Scripting and Programming, AD Attacks, Web App Security.

There’s some certs you can consider

For entry level : TIA Security+, eJPT (hands on labs)
Intermediate : OSCP, CRTP
Advanced : OSEP, CRTO

But what really matters is real world experience

Try bug bounty hunting, HackTheBox, and CTF

[dark wadi]

Thank you so much for your insights and advice! I really appreciate your time and the knowledge you’ve shared. It’s been super helpful, and I’m grateful for this community. Looking forward to learning more 🙂🥰

[sturdy lance]

Anytime 👍 keep on learning.

[dark wadi]

use a virtual machine uea

just like depression said

I have a dedicated server for that, I do VMs on it 🙂 But it's possible to just use VMs on the Mac directly, or don't use vm at all depending on what you're doing.

Please install OS on your harddisk

[whole wave]

can you try opening the BIOS menu ?

We can manually set it

Bios setup utility

[whole wave]

🫡 good evening sergeant; I've messed up my PC and would like to get some real help. Some guy I had look at it partitioned and formatted my computer and now it's stuck on 17% for the last three hours...

this is the condition

os : windows

[chilly merlin]

💀

[whole wave]

[chilly merlin]

Restart and press F2, F12, DEL, or ESC to enter BIOS.

Make sure:

Your disk is detected.

Boot mode is set correctly (UEFI for modern setups, Legacy for older ones).

[viscid crane]

I'm in bios

[chilly merlin]

Check hard drive is detected or not

If Windows is failing to install, your disk might have bad sectors. Try this:

1. Boot into the Windows Installation USB again.

2. Press Shift + F10 to open Command Prompt.

3. Run:

diskpart
list disk

If your hard drive doesn’t show up, it may be failing.

4. If it shows up, type:

chkdsk C: /f /r

[viscid crane]

Please be patient...

I'm in BIOS setup screen

Menus are, Main, Security, config, boot options, exit

[chilly merlin]

Boot options

[viscid crane]

Change boot order to USB flash drive

USB DVD ROM drive

Or

USB network adapter

[chilly merlin]

Why usb it's not detecting harddrive?

[viscid crane]

So it says OS boot manager for my first choice

[chilly merlin]

Yea

Click on dat

[whole wave]

yea ig, she said someone tried creating a partition and it stuck on 17%

[viscid crane]

Froze

[chilly merlin]

Why partition

Delete that shit

[viscid crane]

Faded yellow line went across screen

[whole wave]

but now the PC went down and restarted and is ig not detecting the drive containing win32

[chilly merlin]

1. Corrupt or Misconfigured Partition Table – If someone messed with the partitions, the drive may not be properly formatted.

2. Drive is Failing – If the hard drive has bad sectors, Windows may struggle to recognize it.

3. BIOS Settings – The disk might be in the wrong mode (AHCI/RAID) or disabled.

4. Driver Issue – Windows might not have the right drivers for your storage controller.

---

Try This First: Open Disk Management

1. Boot into the Windows Installation USB.

2. When it gets to the "Where do you want to install Windows?" screen, press Shift + F10 to open Command Prompt.

3. Type:

diskpart
list disk

If your hard drive appears, then it's just a partitioning issue.

If it doesn’t appear, the BIOS might not be detecting it, or it's physically damaged.

---

If Disk Shows Up: Clean & Repartition It

If list disk shows your hard drive, do this:

1. Select the disk:

select disk X (replace X with the correct disk number)

2. Wipe everything (WARNING: This will delete all data!):

clean

3. Convert to GPT (if using UEFI) or MBR (for Legacy BIOS):

convert gpt (or use convert mbr for older systems)

4. Create a new partition and format it:

create partition primary
format fs=ntfs quick

5. Exit and restart the installation.

I'm half asleep

@viscid crane try this

If you can vc that's helpful

[viscid crane]

Omg now when I went to restart computer screen is black and caps lock is blinking

[whole wave]

👀

[chilly merlin]

Guess not so broke

[turbid flume]

Do you not know how to boot from USB? (just curious not trying to be rude)

[whole wave]

thats what AI has to say A black screen with a blinking Caps Lock light usually indicates a hardware or boot issue, and it's commonly related to POST (Power-On Self-Test) failure, meaning the computer's hardware isn't passing its initial diagnostic check.

[viscid crane]

No I don't.
I just got this laptop to learn to code and this guy I met messed it up

[turbid flume]

💀

Why'd bro do that

[viscid crane]

I am completely new to all this and I appreciate everyone's help.
I also know it's my issue to deal with but I have no money to fix the issue as of right now .
I'm in a bad spot in my life where I left a bad relationship and am trying to bounce back from nothing and wanting to learn to code and pentest where I've been told I can't for a very long time.

A girlfriend of mine gave me this laptop to help me with my goals and I don't want to tell her I messed it up after a week of having it

She drove six hours to Savannah to give me this and put me in a hotel for a couple weeks and I'm failing lol 😞

Okay powered back on hit f10

I'm in bios setup utility

[chilly merlin]

@viscid crane

I ain't pc technician

[viscid crane]

If I don't hit f10 it's a black bios screen

[turbid flume]

grab a USB or drive, and you need to install windows from it, you can do this at a library most likely

[viscid crane]

It's okay I appreciate you have tried

Okay

USB

[chilly merlin]

Why so im guessing the drive is messed up

[turbid flume]

You need another windows machine to install onto the software onto the usb

[chilly merlin]

I'm not sure

[turbid flume]

Either way he'll need to reinstall windows regardless

Better to get install software ready

[chilly merlin]

Ok after usb fixing disk?

Like format all that

And fresh

[viscid crane]

Do I need windows?

[turbid flume]

well when he boots into the install, it'll show the disks located and format for him

[chilly merlin]

💀

[turbid flume]

you can use linux

[turbid flume]

That's a valid question bro 💀

[chilly merlin]

He is new mate

[turbid flume]

Linux can be used for beginners

[whole wave]

hell yea (i use windows)

[turbid flume]

Ubuntu is Linux

[chilly merlin]

💀

[viscid crane]

That's my goal anyways is to use Linux

[chilly merlin]

🗿

Go on

[bold plaza]

Linux and windows are important

[chilly merlin]

Install zorin

Not Ubuntu

[turbid flume]

You have an os you trying to use

You have one in mind?

[whole wave]

yea its considered a good practice in programming community and you can flex on windows users

[glass escarp]

Why zorin?

[turbid flume]

Yes

[chilly merlin]

Personal preference

Why not

[whole wave]

Arch always on top

[chilly merlin]

He can go with mint

😂😂

[turbid flume]

Are you able to get your hands on the Ubuntu installer

[viscid crane]

Not now

[bold plaza]

But question does someone learn me how linux works means the kernel like that how its boot up from zero

Were I study

[viscid crane]

Maybe if I get a USB today and am able to download it

[whole wave]

just start install and do random stuff

[viscid crane]

There is a book at the library called Linux the hard way I started reading

[glass escarp]

Just Use Arch Linux

[turbid flume]

problem is I just realized you won't be able to burn install image onto USB at library

[turbid flume]

It's a beginner 💀

[glass escarp]

Does not matter they will learn the hard way lol

[bold plaza]

I know the commands but I need how it works

[whole wave]

TRUE

[viscid crane]

Lol

[whole wave]

theory from the INTERNET !

[turbid flume]

That's true but I'm pretty sure no one wants to guide him on how to install arch while his disk is failing

I'm not doing allat

[viscid crane]

Lol

[whole wave]

I HAD TO suffer for 18 days straight to get arch installed

and i did some crappy mistake

python still dosent run properly

i need to use windows or kali vm everytime i want to use python

💀

[turbid flume]

try looking up how to repair disk on laptop

[glass escarp]

WSL 🙏

[turbid flume]

Include your brand

[glass escarp]

Or just use the python3 installer for windows.

[viscid crane]

I'm looking now

[whole wave]

i mean its a vm i need to create a virtual environment to make it run, some issue with pipx

[turbid flume]

The problem is it's hard to fix the problem without visual

If you have a website or video guide you

They know how it works most of the time

[viscid crane]

Volume member disks mean anything?

Not to me

Not sure what that means

[harsh scarab]

I need assistance with vulnerability IDs. They do not come with the associated company name; they only list the vulnerability ID and its description. For example: CVE-2025-1189.

My question is: how can I identify the company that owns a specific vulnerability ID when I encounter it? Is there a way to search for the company linked to that ID?

[spiral notch]

Wdym owns a vulnerability id?

[harsh scarab]

sorry i meant a CVE

[spiral notch]

Still wdym

Like where to find what id's are attached to companies that found these cves?

Or where to find what companies are vulnerable to those cve's

[eager knot]

there are dorking terms to search for in specific websites but for most,
ethical hackers usually WILL have a target and would need to scan for CVE's as part of the job

you don't just search for a specific vulnerability and multiple companies who have that vulnerability because that's just a formula that screams unethical decisions

[harsh scarab]

both

[spiral notch]

Well for the first one, companies don't really find cve's, it's a lot of the time independent teams.

The names of teams will often be private or if not, will be on news articles posted about these cve's

[chilly merlin]

why do u wanna find that

[spiral notch]

With the second one, I won't really help, it's unethical, and I have no idea what your intentions are behind the screen

[chilly merlin]

u tryna hack a company based on companies associated CVE?

[dark hare]

Can anyone tell me where do I start on cybersecurity as a student? Like courses both paid and free and resources?

Hi. I'm learning SQL on w3schools, I've almost finished it. Can anyone offer me any tips or better places to learn SQL? Anything to help is appreciated.

[potent musk]

what sofware can i you to flash a phone and reinstall a new os in it ?????

use*

[spiral notch]

??

[spiral notch]

W3schoools should be enough, sql is really small

And not difficult

If you're having issues remembering try writing notes down

[spiral notch]

Those databases exist for a reason, companies use them for a reason

Also there's no way to know someone else's intentions. Any tool or system I find, I like to keep it to myself - to who I trust

[chilly merlin]

I do this and re-learn what I'm having issues with, helps me to remember better. Thanks

[chilly merlin]

Yeah it's been pretty easy tbf

[harsh scarab]

how can i make you trust me bruv

[spiral notch]

Most companies have access to such dbs anyway

You'd be little to no use

[spiral notch]

A lot of people ask that, none succeed tho 🙃

[spiral notch]

Yeah no worries, there just v isn't much to learn

So you shouldn't need more material than w3schools

[harsh scarab]

Okay, I understand you don't trust me, but I'd like to ask if you know anything about Burp Suite Professional.

Hey everyone, I installed Kali Linux on my Android phone, but I'm having trouble upgrading some tools like ExploitDB. When I run apt update && apt upgrade, it doesn't seem to work properly. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated!

[spiral notch]

you gave us far from enough info to actually solve this

no output

no specs

[dark wadi]

I'm running Kali Linux on my Android phone, but I'm having issues upgrading packages. When I try apt upgrade, I get this error: dpkg: error: requested operation requires superuser privilege and Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2). I think it's a permission issue, but I'm not sure how to fix it. I'm running Kali in [termux]

[spiral notch]

is your phone rooted?

try

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

[dark wadi]

Yes

[spiral notch]

did the command work then

[dark wadi]

I've tried that too

But still it throws an error

[spiral notch]

cool, which one

[dark wadi]

Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

[spiral notch]

ic, is this the only thing it sends?

[dark wadi]

Everything seems to be going fine, but I get that error at the end.

[eager knot]

try out this command

sudo dpkg --configure -a

saw it on the internet and the person using it said it helped solve his issue, might be a solution to yours as well

[dark wadi]

Appreciate it! Hopefully, this fixes the issue.

Hello all

[rigid kite]

Hello everyone

[viscid crane]

Hello

[rigid kite]

I bought a iMac from a business that was closing down, never used it, now I'm ready to give to my granddaughter and it is locked asking for a pass code. How can I reset pass code and factory reset? I reached out to Apple support and they tried to assist command R and command, option R still locked. Please help.

[halcyon flame]

https://support.apple.com/en-gb/102673 ?

If it's been locked by MDM (Mobile Device Management), I'm not sure if that applies

Generally devices that can be locked by remote management cannot be unlocked purely by resetting the device, as they are meant as a way to prevent use of stolen devices, but I'm honestly not sure if that applies to Apple laptops.

[halcyon flame]

Yeah, if it's locked under MDM or remote management, I don't think you can bypass it, and any tools being sold to claim being able to do so are likely just going to take your money with nothing to show @rigid kite. Only real option is to try and contact the business and speak to their IT team in order to provide the unlock code I'm afraid.

Don't cheat, get good

[coarse ibex]

i thought this was about hacking

my bad

[rigid kite]

My apologies, not trying to do anything unethical. Sorry about that g0blin.

[halcyon flame]

I didn't suggest you were

I was just saying, if it's a locked device via MDM, you'll need to speak to the IT staff that managed the device to unlock it, otherwise it's a very expensive paperweight without paying someone more than the device is worth to replace components, and even that may not be possible / practical @rigid kite

Oh, that other person removed their message asking for help with someone else

[halcyon flame]

So yeah, that wasn't aimed at you Seeking

[main wren]

Yeh not working both

[chilly merlin]

Hello

[main wren]

Network is unreachable when I try to ping

Hi

[chilly eagle]

i had the same problem long ago

[main wren]

I see

[chilly eagle]

u gotta edit a conf file

[main wren]

Ohhh resolv.conf?

[chilly eagle]

give me a sec ill turn on my vm

[main wren]

Thank you, take your time

[chilly eagle]

yes

u can use internet on your host machine right ??

[chilly merlin]

👀

[main wren]

Oh okay, what should I add?

Yes I can

[chilly eagle]

a sec im turning it on

[main wren]

Okay sure

[chilly eagle]

what u can see on that conf file

[main wren]

Search localdomain and nameserver .....

[chilly eagle]

hmm

[chilly eagle]

btw when u try to connect to wifi in vm if gets disconnected or its on

0-0

[main wren]

Hmmm it gets disconnected on it's own

[chilly eagle]

lel i literally tweaked when i had the exact prblm

[main wren]

Like currently it shows that there's no internet and it's not connected to anything

I see 👀

[chilly eagle]

...

[main wren]

Yes

[chilly eagle]

sudo systemctl restart networking

do this and check status

sudo nmcli dev status

[main wren]

Loopback is connected but

Ethernet is unavailable bridge is unmanaged

It's weird because other vms are working properly it's just kali

[chilly eagle]

nmcli dev wifi connect "wifiname' password "wifipas"

[main wren]

Okay lemme try

[chilly eagle]

kek i had that issue on parrot

[main wren]

Hmmm WiFi device not found

[chilly eagle]

enter the right name "wifiname"

[main wren]

Yehh I entered the WiFi I'm connected to in the host machine

But even though Kali connects using the WiFi it shows that eth0 connection is established or something like not wlan

That's how it was usually

[chilly eagle]

hmm

[main wren]

The network configuration is NAT too

[chilly eagle]

so rn were u able to connect to wifi ??

[spiral notch]

Try bridged adapter

[main wren]

No 🥲

Hmmm I tried them both

[chilly eagle]

maybe his firewall isnt allowing

[main wren]

Actually I have it in my external drive but that won't be an issue right

Like Kali is in my external drive

[chilly eagle]

usb ??

[main wren]

Yeh

[chilly eagle]

no that wont be a issue

[main wren]

Yeh

Hm I tried upping dhclient too but same result

Will I have to set up a static one?

[chilly eagle]

try 0-0

[main wren]

Oki 👀

[viscid crane]

Installing Ubuntu and this happened
/disk: /dev/loop2 already mounted or mount point busy

[turbid flume]

Might be because your drive was intrupted during a format, maybe it's mounted already

honestly not sure

try reformatting the drive using quick format, do it through system level cmd

and use diskpart

[viscid crane]

Yeah so it was previously interrupted during a format

[turbid flume]

yeah that might be the issue

[turbid flume]

currently you have no operating system correct?

[viscid crane]

I have Ubuntu up and running but can't mount

[turbid flume]

oh

what command / action requires mounting

aka what are you trying to do?

[viscid crane]

I have that partition and I believe it's messing things up?

[turbid flume]

oh interesting

see if lsblk

or fdisk

is installed

aka open terminal

and run

lsblk

or fdisk

[viscid crane]

K hold on

Ok ran lsblk

What am I looking for 🧐

[turbid flume]

oh mb

ping me next time

[turbid flume]

is it installed?

or does it fail

and say invalid command

[naive delta]

Hello, where is the proper place to ask about a privacy and anonymity related question

[spiral notch]

feel free to ask here

[naive delta]

Okay, thank you, it's a long question, it will be 2 messages, sorry if it looks like some sort of spam, but I am trying to get as many opinions as possible

My main goal is to be able to use 4 telegram accounts, as anonymous as it gets. The primary idea is to control a number of groups and channels, with backups (that's why one account is going to be the main and the others secondary). My way of approaching it is:

I get 5 prepaid sim cards (bought by somebody else). I get two mobile phones. First is going to be the Hotspot mobile phone (HMP), the second will be the main mobile phone (MMP).
The HMP will be always connected to a VPN and the MMP will be connected to the HMP (the MMP traffic will be routed through first the HMP, then VPN, then Telegram). Then, on the MMP, we register the 4 SIM cards with accounts, which then are discarded and put away safely, in need of future activation.

Now, what my goal with anonymity is being safe from law enforcement, as my country is repressive when it comes to journalism about opposition. Therefore, we are going to follow the law enforcement (LE) perspective. On stumbling upon a channel or a group of mine, the cycle goes as follows:

1.. Issuing a subpoena for Telegram to disclose the data about the owning accounts of the channel. There, Telegram gives out the initial registration number and the IP addresses, that were used to login. Now, LE has 2 hints to follow:
1.1 Initial registration number
1.1.1. „The SIM card is on the name of ..., it was last activated there, no call has been made, no nothing“ which could lead to
1.1.1.1 Physical interrogation with the guy, responsible for buying them
1.1.1.2. Physical overlook of the place that they were registered
1.2. VPN IP addresses (they were used with no-logs)
1.2.1. Dead end. There is no linkage between IP addresses and accounts.

I believe the one-time use of the cards and the following use of just a HMP, makes a good division.

So, if I could get any more information whether that is a good strategy and I think it's a good discussion to be made overall. What are the weak links? What mistakes during operation could be made which would lead to ruining everything? How could it be made better? Additional security measures? Feel free to comment on everything here.

[turbid flume]

I'd review this but I'm like too tired

Give me like a few hours 😭

I was think of doing something similar though

[hearty bear]

i dm u

[hearty bear]

SIM Card Acquisition (Human Factor)
If someone else buys the prepaid SIM cards for you, they are a potential weak link. Law enforcement (LE) can pressure or investigate them, leading to a chain of evidence.
Even if they don’t know you personally, surveillance cameras at the store or location where the SIMs were purchased/activated could provide clues.
Initial Registration & SMS Activation
If the SIM cards are activated in a specific region or near your operational area, that could give an investigative lead.
If the phone used for activation ever connects to a cell tower near your real location, LE might start correlating data.
Hotspot Mobile Phone (HMP) Risks
If the HMP and MMP are ever physically in the same place and one of them gets compromised, LE can infer that both belong to the same person.
If the VPN on HMP ever disconnects, even for a second, the real IP address could leak and be logged by Telegram.
Device Fingerprinting & Metadata
Modern forensics tools can analyze behavioral patterns (e.g., typing speed, message style) to correlate accounts.
If you log in from the same device across multiple accounts, Telegram may still recognize device metadata (even through a VPN).
If the MMP ever connects to a network without the HMP, its IP might be logged.
Operational Mistakes (Biggest Threat)
If you ever access a different Telegram account on a personal device, you create a linkage.
If you respond to messages in a similar manner across different accounts, investigators can detect patterns.
If you discuss topics on your personal accounts similar to those in your anonymous ones, it could create a correlation.
If you re-use phrases or linguistic patterns, linguistic analysis can still reveal links.

[hearty bear]

Better SIM Acquisition Strategy
Instead of having someone buy SIM cards, consider using online services that provide Telegram activation numbers (but verify that they don’t store logs).
If you must use physical SIMs, ensure they are bought in different regions by multiple unrelated people.
Device Separation
Instead of using one MMP for all accounts, consider having multiple physical devices, each dedicated to a single account.
Burner phones are a good option (use, then destroy if necessary).
Multi-Layer VPN and TOR
Instead of just using a VPN on the HMP, consider chaining VPNs or routing Telegram through Tor.
Some VPN providers may still log metadata even if they claim no-logs.
Avoid Device Fingerprinting
Use virtual machines or sandboxed environments to prevent device fingerprinting.
Change device identifiers (if using Android, custom ROMs like GrapheneOS can help).
Use of Burner Laptops for Telegram Web
Instead of using mobile devices for Telegram, you could set up a secure burner laptop that only connects through Tails OS or Whonix.
Behavioral Separation
Completely separate your writing style, responses, and posting habits between different accounts.
Use different devices or keyboards for different accounts to avoid biometric data collection.
Never Access Telegram via Personal Network
Ensure that none of your anonymous accounts ever connect to a network tied to you.
If necessary, use public Wi-Fi, but only if it is mixed with VPN and TOR layers.

Yooo im fr so a beginner can someone please help me i don't understand what am i seeing

So i did in kali linux sudo wifite and its says airmon-ng did not find any wireless interfaces. Why does it said that do i need a wifi adapter to start that or what

[bold plaza]

If you're a beginner looking to get started in cybersecurity, I highly recommend following the Cybersecurity 101 path on TryHackMe. It offers a solid foundation, covering both offensive and defensive security concepts. The great thing about this path is that you can explore both areas and decide later which one interests you more for your career.

Alternatively, if you're looking for quicker results and want to figure out which side of cybersecurity you enjoy most (offensive or defensive), TryHackMe also offers a career quiz that can guide you in the right direction.
Recommended TryHackMe Roadmap:

** Starting Fresh in Cybersecurity:**
** Introduction to Cyber Security → Pre-Security → Complete Beginner → Cybersecurity 101**

**Offensive Security (Penetration Testing Path)**:
    **Junior Penetration Tester → Web Hacking 101 → Web Application Pentesting →CompTIA PenTest+ Path → Red Teaming → Offensive Penetration Testing → AWS Security (optional, but helpful if you can afford it)**

**Defensive Security (SOC Path):**
    **SOC Level 1 → SOC Level 2 → Security Engineer**

My Thoughts on Education and Job Opportunities in Cybersecurity:

One common misconception that often discourages beginners is the idea that you need a degree or diploma in cybersecurity to land a job. The truth is, that's not required at all! What truly matters in cybersecurity is your hands-on skills, your ability to solve problems, and your network.

A great example of this is 0day (Ryan Montgomery), who has made a name for himself in the field without a formal degree. Networking is key. Put yourself out there, engage with the community, and make meaningful connections—this can often lead to job opportunities more than a piece of paper ever will.

Thanks

[bold plaza]

💕😄😄 glad to hear

[shadow wyvern]

What about that tho

Try to replicate that

The password of the clara user is found in a file modified on May 1, 1968.

how can i found this file

[tawny coral]

Do you have the old punch cards?

[vernal viper]

? what do you mean

[tawny coral]

a 1968 computer probably used punch cards. To access the password you might need the proper punch cards

[vernal viper]

never mind ifound it

find / -type f -mtime +18615 2>/dev/null

[tawny coral]

That works too 🙂 You can search by date by using -newermt 1968-01-01

[vernal viper]

oh ok thanks for info

Problem D. (5 points) A Better Strategy
Having the computer just play “Rock” every round is boring. In this problem, you will come up with your own strategy for the computer.

Copy-paste rps_game function from Part C to make a new function, rps_game2. This function should be identical to the original, except that you need to change the computer move to use logic more interesting than just picking the same choice every single round.

What strategy the computer uses to choose what shape to play is entirely up to you - so long as it doesn’t choose the same shape every round, you’ll get full credit. Here are some possible ideas, roughly in order of difficulty (but feel free to come up with something not on this list):
Rotate between choices in the sequence: Rock -> Paper -> Scissors -> Rock
Import random and choose one of the three options at random each turn
Pick whatever the player chose last time (default to Rock for the first round)
Pick the shape that would beat whatever the player chose last time
Count how many times the player chose each option, and pick the one that would beat their most frequent choice.

(No example output provided, since this will depend on what strategy you choose for the computer)

Trying to use nmap in my Kali Linux virtual machine at home trying to detect all ips on my local network the scan continues to Show the return loop I've done the basics of configuring my virtual machine for bridge network etc.

[turbid flume]

I took care of it

[chilly merlin]

does anyone know anything about making a chat bot?

[turbid flume]

like ai?

[chilly merlin]

Yes

hey yall.. im a beginner studying first year in IT Engineering and want to get into cybersec.. i have dabbled in kali a couple of years ago but now im looking to seriously get into learning more about how to use linux and stuff like that... im looking to download parrot os on virtual box but i dont know where to start can someone be of aid?

[spiral notch]

#👥・new-member-guide

[turbid flume]

How to start cyber sec? if that's your question, check out the channel @spiral notch sent, if you are talking about installing virtual box, you need to get an installer image and load up virtual box.

ignore ping kvts

@random cargo just realized you were in the wrong channel

Fast fix
Quickly press and release the Volume Up button.
Quickly press and release the Volume Down button, then press and hold the side button.
When you see the Apple® logo, release the side button.

try this though

[warm flame]

thank u mate

[turbid flume]

Assuming I answered your question

[turbid flume]

that would be me :>

(not) sorry

[warm flame]

yeah i was just a bit confused between parrot os and kali .. but it seems kali is kinda the norm

should i get arm64 or amd64

[turbid flume]

They are different, I haven't tried parrot but im assuming it has different tools

kali is probably the norm because it's easier to get into (i'm assuming)

[turbid flume]

depends on your hardware

[warm flame]

core i3

second gen

[turbid flume]

you doing kali or parrot?

[warm flame]

i wanna try both

lets say parrot

cus it tells me to choose

also its in virtualbox

[turbid flume]

hold up you are on windows rn?

[warm flame]

Parrot OS contains all tools available in Kali, plus its unique tools such as Airgeddon, Wifiphisher, AnonSurf, etc.

yes

im on windows

tryna get parrot/kali on virtualbox

[turbid flume]

windows button then search system information and open it

[turbid flume]

yh

let me know when you've done that

[warm flame]

x64 based

[turbid flume]

amd 64

[turbid flume]

oh interesting

will have to try

[warm flame]

it is .ova file

i thought its supposed to be .iso

[turbid flume]

let me look it up

[turbid flume]

I thought so too

oh ova apparently works

in virtual box you should be able to just import it

[warm flame]

ah its a prebaked vm

i want to have the learning experience of installing it

[warm flame]

if my laptop is very old... what version of virtual box do i downooad?

its win 7

[turbid flume]

you might need to choose "not a vm" then

and you will get iso

prob

[turbid flume]

oh

[warm flame]

yeah

[turbid flume]

wow

you'd have to look it up

im not sure

[slate dome]

Hey, so I'm building a Dashboard on Grafana using Prometheus which is gathering data from a Trivy Scanner, but the thing is I want to integrate it in Harbor, is there a way for the Trivy scanner that's integrated inside Harbor to send data to Prometheus? Thanks in advance

[hearty bear]

Use Harbor’s Metrics Endpoint:
Harbor does expose a /metrics endpoint for system-level metrics, which Prometheus can scrape. While this endpoint mainly covers performance and operational data, it might not include detailed vulnerability results.
Leverage Webhooks or the Harbor API:
You can use Harbor’s notification events or API to pull vulnerability scan results and then feed that data into a custom exporter. This exporter would transform the API data into Prometheus-compatible metrics that Grafana can display.
Run a Standalone Trivy Instance:
Alternatively, you could deploy Trivy separately (outside of Harbor) configured to expose Prometheus metrics. This way, you can get detailed vulnerability metrics directly from Trivy and correlate them with your Harbor data.

[slate dome]

Thanks a LOT! 🤗

[hearty bear]

😉

[supple grail]

which distro do you all recommend for wsl?

[chilly eagle]

Kali

[tawny coral]

I second that

[turbid flume]

Ubuntu is a standard, Kali has some issue when I last used it (two years ago in wsl)

[supple grail]

i have tried a few and i feel like kali actually works pretty good

i just dont know which to use

[turbid flume]

Like the tools or cmds?

[turbid flume]

that's good 👍

[turbid flume]

With Kali I've seen people (I've done it once) turn their wsl into a graphical interface

[supple grail]

im on discord in kali wsl rn

[turbid flume]

Oh cool

[supple grail]

its super easy to get the gui

[turbid flume]

Yeah

[supple grail]

i do have to use some config commands when launching discord cause it can be choppy

i only have 8gb of ram and intel uhd graphics so

[chilly eagle]

For me it worked fine when I used kali in wsl

Ye Ubuntu also a gud choice

[turbid flume]

That was the PC I had actually

Lenovo ideacenter

[supple grail]

lenovo yoga l13 gen 4

[turbid flume]

Yeah maybe my computer was weird IDK

Got a new workspace

Error in (line 170) -- Invalid value 'USBMTScreenPlusPad' in HID/Pointing/@type.
F:\tinderbox\win-6.0\out\win.amd64\release\obj\VBoxAPIWrap\ApplianceWrap.cpp[393] (long __cdecl ApplianceWrap::Interpret(void)).

virtual box works but doesnt open ova

[tawny coral]

did you chatgpt that error?

it has steps to solve the issue.

[warm flame]

i dont have it

blocked in my country

[tawny coral]

most AI's can solve this

Deep Seek or even Grok on X

This error suggests that VirtualBox is encountering an issue while interpreting an appliance (e.g., an imported VM). Specifically:

Invalid Value in HID/Pointing Type: The error states that "USBMTScreenPlusPad" is not a recognized value for HID/Pointing/@type. This typically refers to the type of input device configured for the VM (e.g., mouse, trackpad, touchscreen).

Possible Causes:

The .ovf or .vbox configuration file may contain an unsupported or incorrectly defined pointing device type.
The VirtualBox version you are using may not support "USBMTScreenPlusPad".
The VM appliance might be from a different VirtualBox version or another hypervisor.
Fixes:

1. Manually Edit the .ovf or .vbox File
   Locate the .ovf (Open Virtualization Format) file if you're importing a VM, or the .vbox file if it's an existing VirtualBox machine.
   Open the file in a text editor.
   Look for a line like:
   xml
   Copy
   Edit
   <ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/Pointing/0/Type" value="USBMTScreenPlusPad"/>
   Replace "USBMTScreenPlusPad" with a known working value like "PS2Mouse" or "USBTablet", for example:
   xml
   Copy
   Edit
   <ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/Pointing/0/Type" value="USBTablet"/>
   Save the file and try again.
2. Change the Pointing Device in VirtualBox
   Open VirtualBox Manager.
   Select the problematic VM.
   Go to Settings → System → Motherboard and ensure "Pointing Device" is set to a compatible value like:
   PS/2 Mouse
   USB Tablet
   USB Multi-Touch Tablet
   Apply changes and try running the VM again.
3. Update VirtualBox
   Make sure you're running the latest version of VirtualBox.
   Check the VirtualBox changelog for any changes to pointing device handling.

4. Re-Export the VM from Source
   If you imported the VM from another system, try exporting it again from the source VirtualBox in .ova format, then re-import it.
5. Debug Further
   If the issue persists, try running VirtualBox with VBoxManage commands for debugging:
   cmd
   Copy
   Edit
   VBoxManage showvminfo "YourVMName"
   Check if HID/Pointing is still set to "USBMTScreenPlusPad".

[warm flame]

good

[warm flame]

solved it by reinstalling again

[tawny coral]

Good stuff

[warm flame]

what mind of MAC address policy should i choose?

Include only NAT? or

like there are 3 options

[tawny coral]

i'm more familiar with VMWare

[warm flame]

include all network adapter MAC addresses?
Include only NAT network adapter MAC Adresses?
Generate new MAC Addresses for all network adapters?

[tawny coral]

what are the three options?

[warm flame]

idk what MAC means but is it like dns or ip?

[tawny coral]

Media Access Control Address. Everything that has a connection has one like your network card or smartphone for example

[warm flame]

name?

[tawny coral]

keep it default if you're having issues "Include all network adapter"

[warm flame]

ah i see its the id of the device that has an ip

import hard drives as VDI?

[tawny coral]

Virtual Box Disk Image

It;s recommended

yes import

[warm flame]

aight thank you dude

[tawny coral]

No worries 🙂

[karmic plover]

Hey guys, i have created a tool, do I have permission to share my github & LinkedIn link here for self promotion?

[tawny coral]

you might want to give a summary of your tool

[karmic plover]

No I want to post my github tool link

That I have created as a beginner

[tawny coral]

VBoxManage modifyhd "C:\path\to\disk.vdi" --resize 50000

VBoxManage modifymedium disk ~/path/to/disk.vdi --resize 50000

Replace "C:\path\to\disk.vdi" with the actual path.
50000 means 50 GB (size is in MB).

[eager knot]

now when you specifically mention the fbi it sounds unethical

unless you trust your ISP to not provide any data to the agencies then you can try out Tails (the OS) along with snort, snort is the filtering tool while tails acts as a private operating system

it all depends on the type of hardware you have, because every piece may have a built in storing mechanism in some way or another

in short, if you wanna wipe out pieces of data off of your computer:
over-using is the way, overuse=overwrite

btw, agencies would never remotely reveal their methods of restoration
so you're really relying on luck here

unless you wanna burn your device

Can anybody help me with my BIOS ADMIN password on my hp laptop

[radiant stone]

Setting one or recovering one?

How do I know? 😁

No worries, let me clarify, what are you wanting to know / do with the admin password for the BIOS? What sparks the question.

Anyone familiar with fivem servers

[supple grail]

help, i gained access to the webserver of the ict person of my school on accident

there is private data in it, do i report this to the ict person and tell him that or do i inform a large organisation

[radiant stone]

Well the intrusion is probably logged. So Ethically, you will need to let them know. If nothing is done about it you can then bark up the chain.

Do it via email or other written format to protect yourself and keep copies of any correspondence. Low chance anything bad would happen but if they got an ego it's nice to have receipts.

[remote garden]

Yes

[supple grail]

You mean to do it anonymous? That's not possible because the ict person knows me

[tawny coral]

Make sure you understand the #📜・rules of this server

[chilly merlin]

question do u have any permission to do this

and if not why are u asking this in here

[supple grail]

I found this on accident

[chilly merlin]

not so believable to me

[supple grail]

I really don't know what to do

I never had any intention to find personal data, I just wanted to see if I could find a way to disable their access to my school laptop

[chilly merlin]

informed to concerned parties and close this if u wanna ignore trouble

[tawny coral]

I think he's trolling, he already discussed this earlier today in general chat. People gave him the advice already

[chilly merlin]

and why do u wanna disable access to School lappy

[chilly merlin]

Based on his pfp seems like it

can't be too sure

[supple grail]

No it's a different thing

[tawny coral]

I told him myself to contact his IT dept. He said he did, I then suggested he let the Dean/Principal know and that it would cover his butt and leave it alone

[supple grail]

I told them well over a month ago and they changed nothing

[chilly merlin]

that is thier skill issue

[supple grail]

Fair

[tawny coral]

How do you keep accidentally accessing remote computers on a network and no one from said institution cares about it. Makes no sense to me

[supple grail]

I just want to learn

[chilly merlin]

If u spread this some one gonna exploit for sure

so he did a pentest type

[supple grail]

I don't spread

[tawny coral]

#👥・new-member-guide here is your learning roadmap

[chilly merlin]

not accidentally

[supple grail]

Oh thanks

[chilly merlin]

💀

If no one cares ig there is nothing much useful ig

[supple grail]

No, so I found a file on my laptop that sent information about my laptop to a site that is school related, I went on the site had to log in I removed the login stuff from the link and was in

I was just wondering what was going to happen

[chilly merlin]

huh?

[tawny coral]

file name?

[supple grail]

Yeah it was that easy

[chilly merlin]

Bro i think he is mistaken something

[supple grail]

I'm bad at explaining stuff

[tawny coral]

Were listening and yes, here to help, but don't Troll or try to BS because that won't work. LOL. Take your time and explain the issue you're having. If the issue has been resolved don't go troll on another chat channel with the same issue.

[supple grail]

No it's no troll

I'm being for real

All I did was remove a part from the URL and I auto logged in
