[stray mural]

as you're new into cybersec domain. I'd suggest you to start with Ubuntu or Linuxmint

when you're comfortable, switch to kali linux or Parrot OS

it's not like hard to install. Arch can be overwhelming at first. Better be comfy with debian based distros:)

[crude wing]

i got it working by disabling directed I/O and reformatting the sas drives and setting up a raid 1 without a raid 1 it wouldnt install

[wind willow]

How long will it take to learn hacking

#📜・rules

we don't help with unethical/illegal activities

[spiral notch]

years, but highly depends on the more specific field you go into

[broken spindle]

Since , I've joined i notice 1 thing . Idk 🤷‍♂️ why some people ask for sh*tty hacking phenomenon !

@spiral notch @last maple

😂😂😂

[wind willow]

What type of hacking do you teach?

[sweet pasture]

Is there a way to check if a company is storing person info from their employees? Say by them having signed in with their work email on personal devices (ie., cellphones, shared home wifi networks)

[eager knot]

they shouldn't have any information from outside the mail other than maybe the public ip address and the device logging in

they need this information to monitor the property of the company

[spiral notch]

legal hacking. Get started at #👥・new-member-guide

[spiral notch]

If you only sign in with a company email on your personal device they can't fetch any personal info

Unless you download some sketchy apps, or use pre made company devices they give you that may have monitoring tools set up

[radiant stone]

Yea if they don't MDM your device it's isolated to the apps they leverage you use for work that are signed in with your domain creds.

[cerulean crater]

Hey everyone, something weird is happening with my HDR, sometimes, the videos are extremely oversaturated and I don't know what to do beyond turning off HDR. This happens randomly, but when I scroll up or down it may change back, or if I move it to my other monitor too. Any help would be extremely appreciated

[junior mauve]

@dark jackal

[ancient wasp]

It depends on what type of hacking

[unborn shale]

Does anyone know if socks5 is a good VPN to use? I know a good rule of thumb is to always use a paid VPN but I've never heard anything bad about socks5 can anyone clarify?

Anybody?

[late flicker]

Socks is just a protocol is there a VPN named after it

Can u provide a link

Or are u saying to use proxy chains as vpn

[unborn shale]

Yeah it's called socks5

[late flicker]

Sorry but that ain't a VPN

Or I don't think it is

[unborn shale]

Oh ok

Well what is it

[fringe mural]

Socks5 is if I’m correct a proxy version

You also have socks4 but it’s older

[radiant stone]

Most VPN providers are fine for daily drivers, if you're going to do things that may be against TOS or you are in a country that have laws that could end up with you coming to harm based on content you intake or post you should look into ones that are thoroughly vetted.

[sweet pasture]

Thank you!

[spiral notch]

a type of proxy

[spiral notch]

socks5 is just a proxy, not a vpn

[dapper lodge]

Hello, not sure this is the best place to post but I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on what is the best browser for privacy. I wanted to stop using Chrome and Safari: Switch to Opera, Firefox (hardened settings) or Brave, and install uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, and LocalCDN. I have some concerns about Opera since it is Chineese owned. It seems to work well for me but just wanted to get some other thoughts about it since someone out there may have better options/insight. Thanks

[fluid moat]

hey i am working on a project hackthon and its not fucking working wanna work or just make it work

What should I do if I accidentally opened salinewin.exe? Well, it wasn't me, it was my little brother. What should I do now 😭

[mild lily]

yo how df do i get into this hacking shit

[spiral notch]

#👥・new-member-guide if you're entirely lost. If you have a more specific field you think you want to try out feel free to ask for a guide on that particular field

[mild lily]

thanks g

thats alot of stuff to read how do i skid

[eager knot]

https://tenor.com/view/skid-talking-sasquach-flipper-zero-flipperzero-skid-talking-sasquach-skid-gif-27403327

[spiral notch]

dont

[mild lily]

why not g

[eager knot]

because skidding is not understanding and not understanding can lead to illegal acts

[mild lily]

its to punch on extorters so

yh

[eager knot]

we can't assist with that

[mild lily]

why not

[eager knot]

because we only assist and discuss whitehat hacking

[mild lily]

is that not whitehat bru

[eager knot]

well it all depends

do you wanna work for the government?

[mild lily]

uhh idk g i havent rly thought abt it as a career

i js wanna beat on extorters

[eager knot]

oh well that's unethical

[mild lily]

unethical?

g

do yk what extorters are

[eager knot]

like it doesn't matter what kind of people you want to hack

as long as it's hacking without permission

[mild lily]

?

[eager knot]

uhh, this applies to any person you would hack

so yes

this is why you shouldn't skid btw

[mild lily]

?

[eager knot]

unless you work with law enforcement

no

[mild lily]

whyd my message get deleted

wdf

[halcyon flame]

Enough of that language here @mild lily

[mild lily]

bro?

[halcyon flame]

Those people are gross, but hearing about it is gross too. We don't need to hear about it.

Got permission, within scope? Hack away. No? Then work with authorities.

That's the bottom line

[eager knot]

exactly, just make a report to the police and they should handle it

[mild lily]

thas kinda lame g

[halcyon flame]

It's the way it should be done.

[mild lily]

• i doubt theyd acc end up doing nun

[eager knot]

we don't think of what's lame when it comes to life endangerment

[mild lily]

extorters are p good at covering shit up

[halcyon flame]

If you don't report, let's assume nobody else reports

[eager knot]

we think of what's right

[halcyon flame]

They end up getting away with it

[mild lily]

they js make a bunch of accounts

u cant keep em off the app g

[eager knot]

doesn't matter, law enforcement have the tools and right to access them

[halcyon flame]

Do the right thing and report them, otherwise you're just ignorant to what they are doing.

Wanna break the law to get back at them? Great. Not something we discuss here.

Nor encourage

[spiral notch]

also @mild lily performing vigilante activity while skidding never ends well..

[mild lily]

why not

[halcyon flame]

Evidence obtained through illegal means can be deemed inadmissible.

It can also land you in legal trouble

[mild lily]

well think of it like this g

[halcyon flame]

FML just speak to the authorities

[mild lily]

say i d0x an extorter

and they report it to the law

[halcyon flame]

You, you think of it like this. Don't break the law, work with the law.

[mild lily]

whos rly gon get in trouble

[halcyon flame]

If you can't accept that, then leave.

No more speaking of that subject here please #📜・rules

[mild lily]

or lil old me

[halcyon flame]

Last chance

I hate people like that as much as you

but this is not the place to discuss it

The authories are who you should be speaking to

If you don't, then you may as well not be saying anything.

Grow a pair and speak to the authorities

[mild lily]

"grow a pair" "speak to the authorities"

[halcyon flame]

It takes courage to discuss such subjects

Just, this is not the place to discuss them

[radiant stone]

You will since vigilantism is illegal in most places.

[halcyon flame]

Anyway, I think this topic has run its course, right @radiant stone ?

I gonna go get some late, late dinner

[radiant stone]

Agreed, Enjoy your meal

[errant ruin]

what is the best youtuber to watch to learn about this stuff?

[radiant stone]

What part of cyber specifically

[errant ruin]

well rn i just wanna learn a language i didnt really think that far about it

[reef moat]

Greetings errbody! I need your assistance, I'm a first year comp sci student I need y'alls help with coding and recommendations for certificates I should get and suggestions for a good path to take. I'd fr appreciate anything you can help me with. Btw, for coding imma start with c++ since that's what my uni is starting with😭

[halcyon flame]

What's up @lofty flint ? Happy to chat here.

[spiral notch]

what is your interest?

doing a comp sci course is ofc great but what do you actually enjoy

and want to pursue

[proven river]

Good day everyone 🙂 Is it possible to learn the red team without paying anything ? hehe

[spiral notch]

yeah ofc

hackthebox and tryhackme offer a lot of free courses

[haughty nova]

youtube and hands on virtual machine learning

kali linux/parrot os are great starters for red teaming

[proven river]

Thanks for your advice but I actually don't know where to start and what foundation I should begin to learn 🙂.

But i know a little bit of programming

[halcyon flame]

Check out #👥・new-member-guide @proven river - there is some useful information in there over numerous subjects

[reef moat]

@spiral notch I like to code, because I did the Basics of Java and SQL(idk if SQL even counts tbh😂) in high school. I'm still figuring stuff out, like which path to take, software developing, etc...I even checked roadmap.sh but I'm still not sure, so literally any advice or whatever resources yall can provide, I'd really appreciate it🙏

[spiral notch]

sql counts. i see your situation, and in this case its best to just try things out

see if you like them

i cant give much advice in software development

more about cybersecurity

if youre entirely confused about where to start, theres a guide in #👥・new-member-guide

however if you have a more specific question regarding cybersecurity feel free to ask!

[reef moat]

I see, thank you🙏

[wind willow]

Is there a possibility that I could get scammed by people who offered me unethical hacking courses ?

[halcyon flame]

Certainly

[wind willow]

I have been offered 100$ and 85$ i think it's a scam one guy told me he taught 4 people

[halcyon flame]

Yeah, I probably wouldn't trust that

If it's too good to be true, it probably is

If they are actually selling a voucher or whatever, it was 99% purchased with stolen card details

Once that's seen, due to a bank dispute, you'd likely lose your access, account, and the money you spent

Best to purchase from known-good suppliers, such as the origin of the course.. however, an unethical hacking course?

that honestly is a red alert immediately..

[vagrant island]

Hello everyone, my system was compromised and the person has access to all of my browser cookies and other sorts like this. What can I do to prevent further damage? I have already reset my pc

@halcyon flame The person has been threatening to release some of the information if I don’t give him something

[halcyon flame]

Then speak to the authorities @vagrant island

[vagrant island]

They are in the US i am in AUS

[halcyon flame]

If they're saying they have incriminating photos of you in certain circumstance, ignore them

[vagrant island]

I can’t send photos in here but I could send you everything that could happen

[halcyon flame]

Then speak to your authorities

Authorities do work together, esp on cybercrime

It's the best thing to do - report everything you have to the authorities

[vagrant island]

Message is too long to sell

Alright thanks

[halcyon flame]

If you don't report it, and others don't report it.. nothing will happen

[shut monolith]

May I ask how u were comprimised

[halcyon flame]

I'll read the message dw, brb

[vagrant island]

My friend sent me a mod for a game, however he was working with someone else to rat me

Javascript rat

[shut monolith]

Oh

[halcyon flame]

What are they threatening you with, in as much of a safe for work way as possible?

[vagrant island]

My browser cookies

[shut monolith]

Tell the police about everything including ur friend doing this to u

[halcyon flame]

Ok, well don't worry

Reset all your passwords

Enable 2fa everywhere

Logout any sessions you don't recognise

[vagrant island]

They wanted one file on my computer however they realised for that one file to work, they needed a different file which they didn’t get

And they can only do the thing once because I reset my pc

[halcyon flame]

Block them, report them

That's what you should do

[vagrant island]

So he’s threatening me with the cookies for the other file

Alright

[halcyon flame]

They are bullshitting

They have nothing

Just make sure to do the above, block them and move on

Be more cautious in the future - don't trust mods, random files or whatever from people you don't know and trust in person.. and even then, you need to be cautious

Trust is a fickle thing, and people will betray it for the most stupid ideal or purpose

[vagrant island]

I’ve taken screenshots of the conversation

[halcyon flame]

Ultimately.. to stay safe online, don't download dodgy stuff (pirated software), don't run programs or scripts for which you don't absolutely known the purpose, and don't re-use your passwords or share them with anyone.

ALWAYS use 2fa

Great, provide them to the authorities when you contact them

[vagrant island]

I did know my friend for the last year, we used to speak every day. However in the last 30 days we hadn’t spoken and he had started working with this other guy

I have 2fa enabled for everything personal already

[halcyon flame]

Then you're fine

[vagrant island]

Microsoft accounts, bank details, discord

He somehow still got into one of my microsoft accounts even though 2fa was enabled

[halcyon flame]

Most of the time, even with cookies stolen simply copying them on another browser at another location will not neccesarily provide them with access to your accounts.

IF they gained access, again.. reset passwords, change 2fa, logout any devices you do not recognise (modern platforms show you where you are logged in, and allow you to logout devices)

[vagrant island]

Alright I’ll look at everything, I can’t think of what’s important to focus on first

[halcyon flame]

1. Reset passwords
2. Make sure you have 2fa enabled
3. If you can, logout any devices you do not recognise

Generally step 1 will complete step 3 anyway

Most services will invalidate sessions when your password is changed

[vernal reef]

Does anyone have any idea on how to do hackthebox CTF? I am not sure how to start

[halcyon flame]

Hack The Box CTF events are hosted either by the company throughout the year, or by partners or conferences, or by anyone who wants to organise one themselves through our self service methods.

Do you actually mean CTFs, or more about the platform in general?

[vernal reef]

Specifically CTF's. It looked like a way to learn pentesting, but I have no idea how to begin

[halcyon flame]

Ok, well CTFs are not really where you'd start to learn about pentesting

CTFs are competitive in nature, and generally range in difficulty from easy, to very very difficult in their challenges

If you're just learning about the field, you'd want to work with some of the introductory content, which Hack The Box and other platforms provide.

Check out #👥・new-member-guide and #💕・free-resources for some links and resources that will help you get started 🙂

We can't guide you hand on hand I'm afraid. The hardest part is getting started.

[vernal reef]

Thank You for the info! I'll check it out

is anybody good with ducky script?

[grand coral]

Hey,
I have a question, so I have completely same or even higher knowledge of Cybersecurity comparatively to CEH and COMPTAI security+.
Now I tried to look for job and internship but there is no luck. So I was wondering if I could do something on my own, If someone has any idea's then they are most welcome.
I do I have one that I start my own small business thing where I focus on small business or shops and help them to maintain and secure there data and get paid for, is this good idea?
Tell me guys.

[eager knot]

you could freelance as a remote computer fixer for payment
but regardless of that i'd keep applying
it takes a long time to land a job, just make sure you're searching for the entry level jobs first

[fleet nest]

sure what you need help with?

[nocturne tree]

hi guys i need a bit of a help. whats this appearing on my screen ?

[eager knot]

you can use imgur to embed the image btw

[nocturne tree]

how ?

[eager knot]

search for imgur on google and upload your image over there, once you do the website will give you a link to that image that you can share with others

just paste that link over here

[nocturne tree]

ah

thx

[eager knot]

yw

[nocturne tree]

https://imgur.com/a/1DzerNG

works ?

[eager knot]

that uhhh

seems like a driver problem

are you using windows?

[nocturne tree]

yes

how to fix it ?

[eager knot]

what GPU are you having?

is it nvidia?

[nocturne tree]

rtx 3050 ti

[nocturne tree]

yes

[eager knot]

i see, can i ask for the exact version?

[nocturne tree]

32.0.15.7283

[eager knot]

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/

you can download a newer nvidia driver from here

[halcyon flame]

Looks very much like GPU giving up the ghost 😐 Hopefully it's just a driver fubar

[nocturne tree]

it updated but the issuese is still coming

[eager knot]

try restarting the machine

[nocturne tree]

i just did

it used to come in notion too but then i stop hardware acceleration then it stopped

[eager knot]

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow

try run these commands

one after another

start from the top all the way to the bottom

[nocturne tree]

cmd ? right ?

[eager knot]

yup

make sure you have administrative rights on the cmd

open it as administrator

[nocturne tree]

oki

[wheat sentinel]

sup

so i created this automation bot for a web based game

i was bored so

[halcyon flame]

Reseat the GPU @lethal timber ?

[wheat sentinel]

i used manus for it

[nocturne tree]

restarted the laptop.

[halcyon flame]

Oh laptop

f

[wheat sentinel]

and im getting issues while runnign it and im out of beta credits

[nocturne tree]

why r u saying like that 🙂

[halcyon flame]

I didn't read that you were talking about a Laptop

[nocturne tree]

my bad i didnt mention it too.

[halcyon flame]

so I was suggesting to reseat the GPU as you would in a desktop, in case it had become partially disconnected

[nocturne tree]

nope

[halcyon flame]

Hm

That's a screenshot right?

[nocturne tree]

yes

[halcyon flame]

:\

Ok..

[nocturne tree]

wwhy?

[halcyon flame]

Are you able in the BIOS to switch from the dedicated GPU to the integrated GPU ( on the CPU)?

What's the laptop model?

[nocturne tree]

tuf f15

[nocturne tree]

i think so

[halcyon flame]

You can use the NVIDIA Control Panel

or via the BIOS

[nocturne tree]

yes

[halcyon flame]

If you use either option, switch to the integrated and see if the issue persists

[nocturne tree]

wtf

it went away

[halcyon flame]

If it doesn't persist, to me that shouts impending GPU failure.. if it does.. that shouts weird software gremlins causing weirdness

Yup

😦

Sounds like the GPU is failing

[nocturne tree]

how so what was the issue ?

[halcyon flame]

Is the laptop still under warranty?

[nocturne tree]

btw thxs u so much

[nocturne tree]

just expired

[halcyon flame]

Wait, that means you're using the GPU on the CPU

So the dedicated GPU is not active

[nocturne tree]

eh?

[halcyon flame]

TLDR; your dedicated GPU, the rtx 3050 ti is not in use

Your CPU has a GPU on the chip

That's the "integrated" GPU

The "dedicated" GPU is the rtx 3050 ti

It's the rtx 3050 ti which appears to be faulty

[nocturne tree]

oh

[halcyon flame]

Honestly... if the warranty only just expired, I'd advise reaching out the manufacturer ASAP anyway

Sometimes you can get away with it, esp if it's a hardware failure, and not damage caused by the user

[nocturne tree]

how do i activate it ? if its not active ?

[halcyon flame]

No way should a GPU fail within warranty period like that, unless you're completely abusing it

[nocturne tree]

ahh

[halcyon flame]

Well.. you can state which GPU to use for different appliances, but likely you will see artifacts like that still

(via NVIDIA control panel I believe)

[nocturne tree]

yes

[halcyon flame]

If you say run a game, and it looks screwy there too, it's 100% a dedicated GPU failure

Unlucky 😦

[nocturne tree]

can we hop on vc plz ?

[halcyon flame]

So yeah, try that and if it is still an issue reach out to the shop / manufacturer

Sorry, I can't right now

Not sure what else I'd say tbh

[nocturne tree]

i just want you to check whats wrong with this laptop

[halcyon flame]

I just told you

You either will live with the laptop without the faster GPU

or need to return it to the manufacturer to be fixed

Those are really the only two options

[nocturne tree]

i think it expired few months back

[halcyon flame]

I know I know

but as I said, it's worth calling up and explaining what's happened anyway

You'd be surprised how lenient manufacturers can be

Nobody wants bad press of a laptops GPU failing only just after the warranty expired

[nocturne tree]

but i used myasus software it didnt show any issue

[halcyon flame]

It's not a software issue

[nocturne tree]

yes

[halcyon flame]

It's a hardware issue

The hardware itself is faulty

[nocturne tree]

so this whole time i have been running on ram ?

[halcyon flame]

Uhhh, I mean.. does this issue only show up on the desktop?

Like, can you play games ok?

[nocturne tree]

it never showed up until recently i updated something then it only showes it few apps like vs code and notion sometimes chrome but it stoped then . it has never happen in any games tho ?

[halcyon flame]

Weird

[nocturne tree]

yes

[halcyon flame]

I don't know what to say

Roll back the drivers perhaps

but I think that was already suggested

Oh updating was suggested

[nocturne tree]

how ?

[nocturne tree]

yes

[halcyon flame]

By downloading it from NVIDIA

It'll be available somewhere

[nocturne tree]

yep

[halcyon flame]

What about windows restore

Check to see ifyou have any restore points before you updated the driver

You may be able to roll back that way

[nocturne tree]

i dont think so

[halcyon flame]

Have you checked?

System changes like that, even program installations generally set a restore point

..if that feature is enabled

[nocturne tree]

nope

[halcyon flame]

Anyway.. those are the options

Ok, if you haven't checked, then check

If there isn't a restore point, download and install a driver prior to 32.0.15.7283

If that doesn't work, contact the manufacturer

You're unlikely to be the only one to have this issue if it's driver related

Even ife it's out of warranty, if they can help you over the phone, they will

Again, bad press doesn't wipe off easy

If they can stop someone complaining about a crappy product, they will

[nocturne tree]

ah okay i will see what i can do

[halcyon flame]

👍 good luck

[nocturne tree]

should i restore

[halcyon flame]

If there's a restore point before you updated, yes

[nocturne tree]

the nvidia control panel 3d setting to default ?

[halcyon flame]

It shouldn't matter, but no harm in setting it back

[nocturne tree]

oki

i will contant ya again if anything

thxs for the help man

[halcyon flame]

Ok, but I may not be around

I'll send my invoice via DM

[nocturne tree]

ah no issues

[halcyon flame]

🤣

[nocturne tree]

sure

[halcyon flame]

Joking

Good luck

[raven lodge]

Im trying to sort out my Kali...I cant copy and paste or drag and drop bidirectional - i got guest additions but its still not working

[chilly merlin]

Could i text you private idk if its ok on the rules tbh

[halcyon flame]

No, sorry

[chilly merlin]

Pls😭

I dont know what to do

[halcyon flame]

If you are in trouble, or being extorted, speak to the police

If you're trying to get someones information, don't. That's stalking

[chilly merlin]

Im in an other country

[halcyon flame]

If you want to recover an account, speak to the service providers support

[chilly merlin]

No not thaz

Yk any Website with cybersecueity holdöine

[halcyon flame]

Ok, just throwing the usual things out there. Speak to the police in your country.

It's the best thing you can do.

[chilly merlin]

I csnt wpeak there language

[halcyon flame]

You can't speak the language of your own police force?

In YOUR country I said

[chilly merlin]

Im not Inn my country i mena

[halcyon flame]

Do you have a phone?

[chilly merlin]

Yea

[halcyon flame]

Then use Google Translate and visit a police station

[chilly merlin]

I dont have wifi outside

Dont know whwre to find one

[halcyon flame]

The police station will have wifi available

Look.. if you don't think it's ok to talk about because of the rules, then that's all I'll say tbh

[chilly merlin]

Do you have a Website wherre i csn call a guy that knows to hack or smth

[halcyon flame]

No.

[chilly merlin]

🙁

[halcyon flame]

It doesn't sound like you're in trouble

It sound slike you want to get in to trouble

[chilly merlin]

I am but i dont want to say in this Group

That is the number for the German embassy in Bulgaria

They may not be open today, as it is a Sunday

[chilly merlin]

😭

[halcyon flame]

In that case, dial 112 to speak to the German police from Bulgaria

That will connect you to the German police force

[chilly merlin]

Will it?

[halcyon flame]

I jsut said it would

[amber matrix]

💀

[shell sinew]

[halcyon flame]

JFC you could've searched for this yourself

"call german police from bulgaria"

That's all it took

Look

Get safe, call the police, move on from there

I've NFI what situation you're in, but if you don't want to say here then.. well..

I dunno

[chilly merlin]

Its cyber how would the plice hlep tho

[halcyon flame]

I dunno, have you called them to ask?

Police forces have cyber divisions

wut

[chilly merlin]

Bro its so embarissing

[halcyon flame]

So

They've heard worse

Trust me

[shell sinew]

mb wrong one

[halcyon flame]

Suck it up, forget how embarrasing it is and call them for help

There's nothing else you can do

[stark bison]

Would anyone have an idea how one could send a magic packet to wake my PC on lan with my flipper zero?

[spiral notch]

you would have to install some app on your pc iirc

[halcyon flame]

But being dealt with

[spiral notch]

you can do it via phone

okii ty

[stark bison]

It wouldn't be possible with some kind of script?

[spiral notch]

it would

not without installing the script on your pc

though

[honest bridge]

Ugh someone come kidnap me pls

[chilly eagle]

[honest bridge]

Could have said this wasn’t main chat bud.

Now I look dumb

[grand coral]

Bro I am tired can someone help me get an legit internship in cybersecurity or ethical hacking? I want to start my career already, and don't tell me about those linkedin and other things I have been trying that for 4 months with no results to talk about.

[eager knot]

truth of the matter is life's often having a disappointing reality: it's hard to get a job in this field
if you want a job quickly you would have to lower standards

maybe you have to learn how to search

because relying on linkedin alone will not help

[grand coral]

No I have tried different platforms, I have also approached there hr and executives and all but still no luck.

[sharp briar]

HELP

please

PLEASE!

[spiral notch]

calm down

[sharp briar]

ok

can you help?

hello?

...

[eager knot]

ok then theres no requirements

file

in ur folder

youre trying to download extensions from a non existent file

[sharp briar]

once i fix this i'll grind hacking everyday

[sharp briar]

yes

[eager knot]

you might want to grind fundamentals first

because you need to understand what a working directory is

[sharp briar]

where can i study it

do u have resources?

[eager knot]

hackthebox has an academy with linux fundamentals
there's also a path over here #👥・new-member-guide

[sharp briar]

just please help me fix this for now

[eager knot]

hmmm

[spiral notch]

find the file

the requirements.txt file

[eager knot]

yeah you gotta find it first

[spiral notch]

what script are you even trying to run

[eager knot]

and cd into the location

[sharp briar]

im trying to download something

thats what im doing

[sharp briar]

how can i find the file

[eager knot]

you know how in windows you download something

and you know where it's located

same thing with linux

[sharp briar]

yes

[spiral notch]

download what

[eager knot]

locate what you've downloaded

[spiral notch]

whats the script youre trying to download

[sharp briar]

u said i have no requirement.txt?

[eager knot]

you're not within a working directory that has the requirements.txt you were looking for

[sharp briar]

bro

locate what you've downloaded

and cd into the directory through the terminal

[sharp briar]

huh

im downloading using commands

how can i find it?

[eager knot]

and ONLY then you can run the pip install requirements.txt

[eager knot]

well, what did you download

so i can tell you how to find it

[twilit cove]

Olla

[sharp briar]

[sharp briar]

[spiral notch]

[eager knot]

run sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

and then try again

[sharp briar]

ok its updating

[sharp briar]

wow

i think u have memorize all of the commands

...

[eager knot]

my guy these are just basics that you come to remember once you study

you'll remember these as well once you repeat the process

[sharp briar]

thank you for reminding me

[sharp briar]

mhm so you've been here before?

[eager knot]

i mean yes i have

hence why i am a defender

[sharp briar]

its so amazing, look where you are right now a staff for owlsec and a defenderr

WAIT

ITS Shows me smth

[eager knot]

yup i'd say i've come far:) proud of my progress
you'll be there too

[sharp briar]

i cant send a pic

[eager knot]

sudo apt update? or sudo apt install sublist3r?

[sharp briar]

ima send a pic

ima dm you

ok

so what

yes or no?

[eager knot]

yes

[sharp briar]

btw

[sharp briar]

do i need to learn coding?

[eager knot]

at some point

this will come later

focus on the basics first

[sharp briar]

ok

i think the update will take some time

it will take like 3 to 5 mins

its 29% now

[eager knot]

ok good

let it cook

[sharp briar]

btw

in some ways

im watching yt tutorial how to hack

do u think its worth it?

[eager knot]

no

youtube tutorials on how to hack when they are not specific and generic are usually bad

focus on the fundamentals

at the very beginning of it all

how linux works, how windows works, how networking works, computer hardware

only then you can proceed to hacking if you grasp everything

[sharp briar]

im watching how to master linux

smth like that

its like whitesec

[eager knot]

you'll need to read too

[sharp briar]

so in ur advice whats the best to learn for me?

as a beginner

[eager knot]

computer hardware and networking first

operating systems after

[sharp briar]

ok

some guy in the call just hacking with youtube tutorial

lol

[sharp briar]

the update is done

pls help now

[eager knot]

now do that
sudo apt install sublist3r

[sharp briar]

still the same

error: unable to locate package Sublist3r

[eager knot]

can you do me a favour and type sublist3r -h

[sharp briar]

wait

[sharp briar]

it asked me if i should install it

WAIT

ikay

whats next

can i run those commands now?

[eager knot]

you don't need to

you have it

congratz

now run it on whatever

[sharp briar]

WOHOOO!!

[eager knot]

go crazy

jk

[sharp briar]

wait ima doubl;e check if its true

[eager knot]

make sure you don't do anything unethical

[sharp briar]

im ceh

just kidding

[sharp briar]

hery

hey

python sublist3r.py

it wont work

[eager knot]

you don't need that command my guy

[sharp briar]

then what

because thats what it shows on yt

[eager knot]

just type in sublist3r -d kali.org

or whatever domain you want

[sharp briar]

OKAY

LETSGO

WOHOHOOO!

[sharp briar]

where'd u learn this

[eager knot]

at a hacking college

[sharp briar]

wow

ur smart

[sharp briar]

keep up the good work helping people!

thanks again disso!

[onyx folio]

Can you take a look at my website hygoclean.co.uk and tell me how i can fix my chat api

And any improvements i can make

[halcyon flame]

That sounds like a job for.. someone you'd employ

Define the problem. What needs fixing

Define the desired output.

[desert torrent]

A sob worthy response

[halcyon flame]

But a response.

They gave us nothing to work with @desert torrent

Literally a rotton tomato would at least give us an indication of what we should do

We should clean it up

Saying "fix my chat api"

What does fix MEAN

What the hell is broken

So shush

[late matrix]

Hello,im KenTuu and im trying to learn hacking but its so hard to learn it myself so i need someone to offer to help me for free(only those who want!!!!)

[supple grail]

have you tried sites like try hack me or hack the box?

[late matrix]

well yes,but they are not free and i dont have that kind of money

[supple grail]

they are partially free, i also use them

and i dont pay for premium

[late matrix]

what do you learn on it?

[supple grail]

networking basics

how to work with ms sentinel

nmap

[late matrix]

nmap its the that you scan a website or an IP right?

or is it gobuster?

[supple grail]

yes, scanning for open ports and more

[late matrix]

i kinda know that

[supple grail]

gobuster is for directories on a site

[eager knot]

they are two different tools with different purpose

[late matrix]

what i dont know is how to get into those networks and hack them

anyways,thanks for the help guys

apreciate it'

[supple grail]

we cant help you with "hacking" sites cause its unethical so uhhh

[late matrix]

thats not what i meant bro

[halcyon flame]

Check out Starting Point in HTB

It will lead you in to it

Other platforms have similar features

The hardest part is getting started.

[late matrix]

i meant like hacking into my own network to practice my skills

[halcyon flame]

What do you mean though

Do you understand what you are hacking

What skills are you practicing?

[late matrix]

i mostly watch on youtube about networking hacking,dns,ipv4/6,IP's

[halcyon flame]

Ok

[late matrix]

and i also do them in Linux

[halcyon flame]

But.. again, what do you see as hacking, as practicing

Sure you could practice networking etc

Sure you could watch videos on pentesting methods etc and practice

All I'm saying is.. the hardest part is starting to learn, and to absorbe the knowledge

[late matrix]

yes,your right

[halcyon flame]

You have these platforms available to you, that offer knowledge for free

Take advantage of them

[late matrix]

Thanks so much for the tips g0blin,if i have a question i will ask again

[halcyon flame]

No worries. Sure, drop questions in here, but not always around

Others will help again I'm sure

[late matrix]

[glossy field]

Cellular antennas (on rooftops or towers) – for 4G/5G signal.

Wi-Fi antennas – directional or omnidirectional, for public or business internet.

Radio towers – for AM/FM or emergency services.

Satellite dishes – for satellite internet or TV.

Microwave point-to-point – looks like big white plates aiming at each other across distances.

[halcyon flame]

Sounds like you need to go to a hardware store

[glossy field]

Stopped working a long time ago due to changed made with Instagram.

[pastel holly]

i believe my home network may have a compromised device, more specifically i believe i have a device communicating with a C2 server. any advice on the best way to narrow down devices that may be compromised? is monitoring wireshark and making note of my ip’s sending outbound generally the only way?

[spiral notch]

yeah, thatd be the best way

[chilly merlin]

hello guys, does anyone have any useful resources for understanding how to use: Autopsy, FTK imager, Registry explorer?

[pastel holly]

understood, do you have any advice on remediation? say i find the device, would factory resetting it be sufficient? i also suspect that i am getting ddosed, every day/night my internet goes from 300+ download to somewhere along the lines of .5 download in which i see tons of tcp, tlsv1.3, and mdns packets. would you recommend me calling my isp to change my ip after finding the supposed compromised device?

[silent jay]

guys i got a PUA:Win64/gamehack Virus on my Pc and it wont uninstall and there is no tutorial on how to unistall it what should i do

[eager knot]

format your computer

backup anything important and just format

[silent jay]

and theres no other option than format?

[eager knot]

nope

[silent jay]

alright thank you for the info

but is it like really dangerous so i can do it tomorrow?

[eager knot]

preferrably as soon as possible

we don't want it to infect important files

[silent jay]

ok

[gaunt moon]

can someone help me with the dante pro lab at HTB?

[silent jay]

should i do a local or cloud download of windows when i am reseting my Pc?

[spiral notch]

both could be infected

i'd reinstall via usb

dont give advice if you use chatgpt. they can use chatgpt too.

[silent jay]

I currently have a virus on my PC and if I install Windows on the USB stick on the infected PC is there is a possibility that It will download the virus again?

?

[spiral notch]

yeah, its unlikely but not impossible

preferably do it via a different device

-# (on a different network if youre paranoid)

[silent jay]

does PUA:Win64/gamehack affect the network?

[spiral notch]

the detector finds by algorithms. the virus can have more code added

[silent jay]

what you mean

[spiral notch]

that it can affect network yes

and just because it detects some virus doesnt mean it cant do something more

[silent jay]

what would you do in my situation

[spiral notch]

different device

different network

flash a usb stick

with the windows iso file

and then perform a clean reinstall

or switch to linux, perfect opportunity ;)

[silent jay]

nah bruh not linux💀 🙏

ok i will do it

but how do i wipe out my pc completely cause windows gives me to options on how to reinstall windows with no usb stick

local and cloud

@spiral notch

[spiral notch]

wdym how do u wipe out your pc completely

like how do you format it?

[silent jay]

like when you build a computer you still dont have windows on it

like fully new

because i reset my pc on windows it automatically reinstalls windows on local or cloud

[silent jay]

Idk maybe💀

[spiral notch]

once you boot up via the usb stick

it should allow you to format your disk

iirc

[radiant stone]

Yea you can use CMD during where you would select your partitions and clean the drives prior to formatting

[spiral ruin]

hello, i am new to pentesting and was tryna learn 'Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in SLmail 5.5' is there any website that covers this topic for free ?

[halcyon flame]

I mean... there are PoCs out there if you Google those exact words :\

[bronze sluice]

im trying to fully understand a SSH Secure Shell i believe is the name i got it all set up and they say its to transfer files safely and stuff and im trying to understand when it would be used and if i used it to run commands for my try hack me cause thats what i think i was trying to download it for the other day i cant full remember its been a long weekend if someone could help a youngeen it would be greatly appreciated

[desert torrent]

What's your question? You want clarification on how SSH works?

[halcyon flame]

m

They already asked if they needed it

I said yes

Was't good enough of an answer 🤣

[bronze sluice]

yes sir

[halcyon flame]

💀

[bronze sluice]

i didnt fully ask what i wanted to hear

u jus said it would probably be used in a box

[halcyon flame]

And you said anothing

[bronze sluice]

use vpn and maybe need a ssh

i was typing that lol

[halcyon flame]

I love giving answers and not hearing anything in return

bs

[bronze sluice]

i love typing then seeing someone respond

like what bro 🤣

u hatin

[halcyon flame]

If someone takes the time to respond, can't you at least thank them?

[desert torrent]

alright, well. it depends on the task, you MAY need ssh for THM. although the only thing you generally need for a connection is OpenVPN

[halcyon flame]

Just rude tbh

[desert torrent]

let's avoid starting anything, agent

[bronze sluice]

i could but u bouncing as soon as i get a reply ill get to u later im not obligated to say something but i will once i get a chance is that a problem wit you my guy
