👥・help-me

[gloomy perch]

I have a fulltime job as well plus college so my time is limited. I just like to hear other peoples opinions on how to do things. I can learn tips and tricks along the way instead of just seeing how college teaches me..

[solar gate]

Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm fairly new to IT in general, so just trying to soak up as much knoledge as I can and gain experience through try hack me right now.

[spiral notch]

yeah ofc, understandable

college doesn’t always teach much or well in the best ways

it’ll give u the fundamentals tho lol

but yea as I’ve said just ask in this chat !!

[spiral notch]

No worries, cool, and good luck!

[chilly merlin]

I understand, I posted it hoping there might be someone smart out there.

[whole patio]

I'm sure there are very smart people on this server. That those choose not to engage you, should maybe add a bit of context to your question

[potent forge]

I thought you didn't want anyone smart, but wanted rookies?

[chilly merlin]

People confuse rookies and idiots

Like a femboy

Shameful

[gloomy perch]

I am excited to get some hands on ethical hacking training though. I find it extremely interesting. I have already taken cybersecurity and web development. I work as a Network Technician. So I know somethings already!

[whole patio]

I have yet to see @spiral notch say anything I would not agree with.

[potent forge]

What is a "reactor ecosystem" and what does Cybersecurity rules and crimes have anything to do with it?

[spiral notch]

I’m not confusing you for a rookie nor an idiot

you wanted to leave this topic but since you mention me again sure let’s get with it

[chilly merlin]

I don't want you

Good night femboy

Close the topic

You don't respect me

[potent forge]

Dude what

[chilly merlin]

You're just influencing my thoughts

[potent forge]

Are you just throwing terms out there hoping to make a coherent sentence?

[chilly merlin]

Don't worry about a large-scale scientific investigation

[spiral notch]

you literally want to make a brain chip and train your own Jarvis AI. You have no prior experience and think you can recruit randoms for it, and you think you can become a government threat with this. You have no neuroscientists, no hardware experts, and nothing else

while trying to make the most insane project the humanity has ever seen

[spiral notch]

I don’t want you either, I have a girlfriend

[chilly merlin]

No, you got it completely wrong.

[potent forge]

Large scale scientific investigation about what? You still have yet to specify what you even want

[chilly merlin]

I hope you are happy

[spiral notch]

It’s what you’ve explained 3 times

[spiral notch]

always, same for ya

[chilly merlin]

I can't explain it because I don't know enough English. People are fascinated when I explain it in my own language.

[chilly merlin]

Thanks friend

Always stay friends and move forward

[spiral notch]

[chilly merlin]

I deleted my messages and left

I wish you a good night

I'm sorry I couldn't explain.

hi guys i am learning cybersecurity with tryhackme

[spiral notch]

cool !

[merry pine]

Hello every1

I am trying to learn how to get into cyber security. can someone point me in the right direction?

[hazy herald]

hello

who can help me hacking a game ?

[spiral notch]

nobody

#📜・rules

[naive olive]

yeah, i’ll tell you, so first check the game and make sure you stand exactly 3 steps away from the nearest tree in the main menu, then spin your chair counterclockwise 7 times while holding down the letter “q” on your keyboard. after that, open your fridge, take out a slice of bread, and place it gently on your monitor for good luck. now, very important — whisper the game’s name backwards into a glass of water, drink half of it, and save the rest for when the loading screen turns purple. if it doesn’t turn purple, you’ll need to restart your router exactly at 4:37 am, no more, no less. once that’s done, grab your left shoe, put it on your right foot, and hum the tetris theme for at least 12 seconds. after you complete all these steps, you’ll be perfectly ready to… please read the rules.

[hazy herald]

OK thank youuuuuu❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

hey i need help with my IMEI Number so I'm using a Samsung A54 5G but it's live demo unit meaning i basically can't use it to call or anything to fix that i need an IMEI number my current IMEI number is INVALID can anyone please help me

[radiant stone]

Swapping imei numbers with another live imei not owned by you is a felony in the US

[chilly merlin]

Did you steal a fucking display phone

[radiant stone]

If they did they're dum.

Especially if it's IOS

Those shits run a special os for the display version

[chilly merlin]

Samsung

Still borderline moronic behaviour

[old ingot]

Hey everyone, I'm looking for feedback from people in the field of cyber security. I'm currently studying behavioural science (practical psychology) and I have a huge interest in cyber security. I've been learning the basics on TryHackMe and I'm loving it. I don't want to go to school for another program (4 years) and such, but I want to get into the field. What is an effective way of learning and entering the field without going to school for 4 years (I'm okay with a grad cert of 1 or 2 years)? What is the most realistic outcome and path?
Thank you in advance for the help.

[plucky nacelle]

for sure he did ahhaahha

[woven anvil]

Someone else will probably come with a better answer, but Cyber Security is a wide field that covers a lot of thing. A full understanding of the fundamentals (Networking, Hardware, Software(OSes, Drivers, Applications)) to fully get the grasp of what you are doing in advanced fields can take years.

TryHackMe is a great starting ground, and has a lot of resources that are free in it.
Being able to take those things, and test them in a practical setting in your own lab is huge in being able to learn by trial and error, and understanding the full setup.
Seeing how companies run their IT general is useful when looking to Blue Team or Red Team a company

[astral shadow]

Hey! I’m a first year B.Sc. Computer Science student and I’m really interested in getting into cybersecurity. The problem is, I’m not sure where to start, there’s so much info, different opinions, and so many certifications that it’s a bit overwhelming. Could someone point me in the right direction or share how they started out?

[stone sonnet]

no i didn't my uncle works at Samusung and the phone i got was reported stolen and they took his money from his paycheck to repay the phone so my uncle found it and he gave it to me

[stone sonnet]

im not in the US

[chilly merlin]

He “found” it

Ah yes

Of course, silly me!

[civic mauve]

I mean it’s possible even though very unlikely

[stone sonnet]

yeah it turned that my lil sibling stole it from one of my uncle phone box's

[chilly merlin]

I severely doubt every single aspect of that story

[civic mauve]

There is a lot to doubt indeed, however it can actually be how he told it

[chilly merlin]

Well in that case it’s an entire family of morons. A sibling who steals demo phones, a dad who decides to give said stolen phone to his son, and this genius right here who thinks it’s a fantastic idea to use it.

[civic mauve]

Families of morons aren’t that much of a rarity nowadays tbh

Hello guys. I’m thinking about buying a computer for cyber security. Which computer would you recommend for low budget?

[sweet pasture]

A while ago, I was scammed by ‘whimhack’, anyone familiar with him/her?

[modern ravine]

KOSA, etc.

[south plinth]

thinkpad

[knotty briar]

i' ve problem 😔

[whole patio]

Whats the budget

[lethal verge]

Give us a budget.

Are you looking for a laptop, a prebuilt, or are you trying to build one yourself?

[chilly merlin]

I can second this. You can find a decent refurb thinkpad for around $200. I picked up a T490 and run fedora, bare metal. Haven’t had any issues. I think it’s a seventh gen intel cpu and 16GB DDR4.

Hi everyone, I am a new member and My current status, I am currently learning coding (self learning with AI assisting me to understand some codes when I get stuck or if I need more explanation on a particular coding functions, variables etc). Though I am learning to code now which will be my entry into the tech space my long term goal is to become a cyber security expert with skills in ethical hackering.
My asked! If you are an expert, specialist or professional in what I have stated above and have some time to spare; can you take me as a student and guide/teach me?
Note: I am a visual or practical learner. If you are interested kindly let us connect and let the journey begin. Thank you for your attention.

What is wrong with my asked? Did I make a mistake? Kindly let me know so I can rectify. Thanks @chilly merlin

[wet gate]

nothing wrong with it it was just a massive paragraph

check out #👥・new-member-guide

[gusty tusk]

Thank you so much for the clarity and sorry it came out like that. Do I need to rewrite it and did I break any guidelines or the page ?

[wet gate]

no lol

ur fine

[chilly merlin]

Think you may just be misunderstanding my reply. Thought https://discord.com/channels/990435451334688768/1306084252437450763 would be a good place for you to start.

[gusty tusk]

Oh ok. @chilly merlin Thank you for pointing me to the right direction to start off and sorry I misunderstood you.

[gusty tusk]

Thank you

[chilly merlin]

No worries, enjoy the journey!

[gusty tusk]

Thanks

Please if I may ask @chilly merlin and @wet gate do I need to post the same message at #👥・new-member-guide or I just have to visit there and follow what is communicated there?

[wet gate]

no there are resources there for new members to learn

[chilly merlin]

It’s actually just links to learning resources. I doubt you’ll find a tutor but if you show some initiative and ask the right questions people will definitely help.

[wet gate]

you cant send messages in there anyways

like if you want to learn the offensive (attacking) side of cyber security, look into the red teaming 🔴 resource links

[chilly merlin]

For visual learning maybe starting with the basics, professor messer on YouTube has good A+, Net+, and security+ courses for free, good for fundamentals.

[gusty tusk]

Oh ok. Thank you for the heads up or my quest

[wet gate]

if you want to learn the defensive (protecting) side of cybersecurity, likewise look into the blue teaming 🔵 resource links

[gusty tusk]

Wow thank you so much

[chilly merlin]

For hands on tryhackme and hackthebox are kinda the standard, but there and plenty of free ctf platforms to try (picoCTF and over the wire being two different examples).

Tryhackme also has videos in a decent amount of their rooms.

[gusty tusk]

Oh ok. I really appreciate you guys for your guidance and direction @chilly merlin and @wet gate

[chilly merlin]

Of course, hope it serves you well.

[gusty tusk]

I will go try on your recommendations

[chilly merlin]

Eh, take them with a grain of salt and find out what works for you.

Everyone has a different path into cyber.

I need some help with bug bounty what would I usually learn to start bug bounty as a beginner

[woven anvil]

[plain cove]

@hardy pulsar my phone is slow and it keeps freezing while I'm gaming

[hardy pulsar]

Ok thx quick question when you are getting paid for the bug bounty isn't it usually paid in US dollars how would it work if some1 from the UK did it?

[hardy pulsar]

What phone is it

@plain cove

[plain cove]

@hardy pulsar A14 android

[hardy pulsar]

Hm its almost 2 years old is all of your software up to date?

Because that can cause lag if u dont update

@plain cove

[plain cove]

@hardy pulsar yes I just updated to android 15 about a week ago

[hardy pulsar]

Btw what games are you playing because usually games that take a large chunk of storage can affect your gaming performance

@plain cove

[plain cove]

@hardy pulsar CoD and LoL

[woven anvil]

Im not sure, but here is some good info from someone about it:
So I would find the reputable programs, and see if there is any info about it from them, since I assume different programs may do it differently.

[hardy pulsar]

I dont have access to it 😭

[woven anvil]

ok

I won't paste it and call it mine, but he mentioned hacker one as one of the groups

[hardy pulsar]

That'll be why since Cod uses a lot of RAM and can affect ur gameplay i dont think u can do much about the performance unless u buy a phone dedicated to playing games

[plain cove]

Hey guys, i just have a question. Idk I should post it here or somewhere else.

So, somebody got access to my telegram, and they logged me out of all my devices and changed the recovery email to their email.
I'm stuck and I have really important memories stored...
I tried posting to telegram support but I still no response.
Man, can anybosy guide me through this ?

[whole patio]

Rufus is famous for leading to problematic installations - either use balenaetcher, as is recommended, or make sure that rufus is not used in "recommended/default" setting, but in DD-Mode

[whole patio]

If telegram support can't or won't help you, then there is nothing left you would receive help with #📜・rules

Hello everyone, i need help with my protected docker enviroment for testing out MITM attack and DoS. I am having a little problem with the MITM using ettercap. When i run etercap, the arp poisioning is successfull but the sniffing isn't. The protocol i want to sniff is HTTP request and response between two containers. a requester and a server hosting a pdf on http. So when the ettercap is running, i only see SYN and no ACK/SYN or any othertraffic. can someone help me. I will really appreciate that.

[whole patio]

You are asking about pirating software, which would be a case of #📜・rules #3 and something you do not receive help with

Any more than you already got, that is

[chilly merlin]

Windows requiring product keys is a legacy thing, they are just optional now to remove the ugly watermark and offer some basic aesthetic customization of your OS. The iso images are available for free directly on microsoft. There are an endless amount of youtube videos on how to do it but the MS guide is very straight forward.
You can find cheap grey market keys if you don't want the watermark (I usually google youtubers and windows key discounts together to find active promo codes).

[wet gate]

you’d get paid in dollars via paypal and paypal will convert the dollars to UK pounds automatically

[chilly merlin]

Some people can make a good living off bug bounties just because of the conversion rate to their currency.

[wet gate]

[lost atlas]

my battlenet.exe runs not only over regular battle net but over tor exit nodes? have i been hacked?

i noticed weird connection issues while playing games and checked netstat and it connects to ips labeled as tor exit nodes 162.247.241.14 and 162.247.243.29 or is that some regular service someone knows?

[whole patio]

any "mods", "cracks", "free games" or stuff like that you installed?

[lost atlas]

nope nothing

i just checked and dont have any tor proxy running

so it directs my battle net traffic to tor exit nodes?

i got tor installed tho but i never used it

https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/162.247.241.14 i checked the ips and they are reported for malicious behaviour

Guys is there a way of resetting my HP elitebook 840 g5 password when I don't know the BIOS password and forgotten the computer password too

[whole patio]

So essentially the same situation as if you had stolen someone elses laptop

[gray dove]

Nuh uh

Borrowed permanently

[chilly merlin]

Do you have proof of ownership?

[wind minnow]

Yeah

[chilly merlin]

Contact HP support

[wind minnow]

They are just making me chat with Ai

[chilly merlin]

@wind minnow btw did you buy it from HP?

Or was it a used device

[wind minnow]

Am in Ug so we just buy from laptop stores around

[tiny dragon]

does anyone of you know how to hack Aviator bots

[strange night]

Actually im not sure if I just broke rule 2 dammit

[woven anvil]

They can't do anything remotely for a BIOS password

[strange night]

.

[woven anvil]

the correct answer would be to remove the password, but I don't really want to get into doing it for a laptop when im not even sure the laptop isn't one he took, with the owner actively looking for it.

[strange night]

True that

[woven anvil]

Could also remove the windows password as well too

[chilly merlin]

If it’s even possible - on older models removing CMOS was an option, but I doubt that’ll work on his elitebook

[strange night]

I should just remove that link then right? dont wanna get banned

[woven anvil]

they hide the pins

[chilly merlin]

SPI reflashing is another option - also not reliable

[woven anvil]

I would think so, but i've already heard of official microsoft support also using it as a "way to activate when activation is broken on a machine"

oh, i thought you meant the other one

[strange night]

to be safe its gone, idk if its even his device as u have mentioned

Oh yeah the other one too lmao

[woven anvil]

yeah, thats the hard part :/

i would think its pretty hard to bios lock yourself out of your own devices, but it would be possible

[strange night]

Or if you wanna get into highschool property where the BIOS enables a physical lock on the PC case. My highschool had some spesh people i cant lie

[chilly merlin]

@wind minnow if your model allows it, BIOS reset by jumping the CMOS battery may be a fix

As mentioned above, I doubt it’ll work - might be worth a shot though if you’re out of other options

[woven anvil]

jumping the battery itself i don't think would work

would need to jump it at the right location, or de-solder the battery

[strange night]

Im just a noob but im surely just removing and replacing the battery will reset it fully? Ik the battery keeps the settings and such

[woven anvil]

remove, and you have to empty the capacitors as well

but the bios battery, not the laptop battery (that one too though should be removed during the process)

[strange night]

Cant u just let em discharge or do you have to activly drain them?

[woven anvil]

can let them discharge, but pressing a power button with no power connected drains them, both desktop + laptop

its also great to know if you have a power surge, and your computer won't turn on

[chilly merlin]

Why not? You don’t need to drain the battery, clearing CMOS RAM is sufficient

[woven anvil]

just unplug, hold power for 10 seconds, plug back in

[strange night]

Laptop battery usually has that rainbow cable going to it unless u have a laptop with a removable one if im not mistaken

[strange night]

[woven anvil]

https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Fully+Resetting+the+Mainboard+State/113
Here is what the process would look like on a good laptop

they choose to let the laptop sit instead of clearing the capacitors with the power button

[woven anvil]

because shorting out your battery i think is not a great solution, and damages the battery

[chilly merlin]

Jumping the CMOS is unproblematic

You’re not gonna damage shit by jumping it once, or dozens of times, for all I care

[woven anvil]

no, but im assuming its being shorted because its "hard to remove". reducing the lifespan so you will have to remove it years earlier would be counter-intuitive

[night dock]

any security expert here. i want opinnion in my learning plan

[woven anvil]

not actual linux distributions

[distant flame]

i wanna learn because i have been using chatgpt and i feel fake so i wanna learn

[woven anvil]

type "help" in the commandline....

if its bash, then it should just give a list of the built-in commands

[distant flame]

it did

[woven anvil]

anything that isn't there, is an "application" or "program" or whatever you want to call the compiled binary.
you can find applications in /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/sbin, ~/.local/bin and technically anything in your $PATH can execute in a way that you see as a "command"

[chilly merlin]

https://developers.redhat.com/cheat-sheets/linux-commands-cheat-sheet

to find out more about any program, you can use

Hi

heya

[tawny kite]

Does anyone have good methods to have focus?

[ornate gate]

Anyone good with burp suite nd sql

[lost vapor]

i am relatively decent, what's up?

[spiral notch]

uninstall games

and distractions

literally just uninstall

things will seem boring

really boring

it’s cuz ur dopamine levels recalibrate

[ornate gate]

I’m tryna figure out how to brute or dictionary. I seen a video the numbers tell u bt I cnt remember

[spiral notch]

if it’s really that bad switch to nic

to stay growing

and focused on studies

[lost vapor]

a tool that can be used for these stuff is intruder

within burpsuite i meant

[ornate gate]

Yea that’s what I’m doin I send to intruder nd repeater

[lost vapor]

repeater is to manually tamper with a website's header

intruder is for brute attacks

question is, what do you need to brute exactly?

[ornate gate]

Needa get into my old email bc it’s attached to a lot of shit I need to get into

[tawny kite]

Thank you it will be hard but I’ll try

[lost vapor]

well
doing that would probably be against some TOS if i am not mistaken

it may potentially lock up your account as well or block you off if you're not careful

since websites nowadays have limitations to these kind of stuff

[hardy pulsar]

@lost vapor could I ask if you fully delete windows 11 is it better to redownload windows unbuntu or linux as the operating system

[lost vapor]

i personally use windows 11 with secure boot on since most debian based systems don't support it, it is crucial in order to avoid rootkits
if i ever were to switch to linux as a main os, i'd probably do fedora since it also supports secure boot with most drivers and files already signed
i only operate debian based systems on a vm

[tawny kite]

@spiral notch do you think I could let an game engine I have bc I found a small job as a dev there and I would like to stay it but uninstall the other games.

[ornate gate]

So I need help fixin a old tool

[hardy pulsar]

What tool?

[ornate gate]

Sigploit

And others just wana see

[hardy pulsar]

Could u name all the tools that need fixing so we can do it all at once

[hardy pulsar]

Ok thanks for the clarification

[tulip frigate]

The way is not fun. No drugs no alcohol. No TikTok or anything of the like. Go to the gym get outside and eat well. It will take time to heal your receptors in your brain. It will be hela hard. But it will be worth it! Also no caffeine

[tulip frigate]

Or you could do it the unsafe way and trigger your vmat2 and taar receptors but don’t try that

[tawny kite]

What is that?

[tulip frigate]

It just forces the release of dopamine

[tawny kite]

There is a way, if you smile like for 20 seconds it releases dopamine

[tulip frigate]

No that sends out a neuro transmitter acedocoline that causes someone out of dopamine to release while the other thing forces all dopamine in a neuron out

Typo

[tawny kite]

You seem a biologist

[tulip frigate]

I study neuro science

[tawny kite]

Ah make sense

[tulip frigate]

Ye lol

[hybrid gulch]

Anyone know where I can find prof messer a+ notes for free

[spice hawk]

Man I've gotta raise 220 for the CompTIA+

[spiral notch]

good luck

[spice hawk]

Hahaha I know right, hopefully I can get it within a few weeks. School gives a discount I think Imma pay the 300

[chilly merlin]

Nice, that’s a decent discount.

Does anyone know of Secure Boot from windows 11 causing a computer to stop booting after installing?

[lethal verge]

Have not heard of this issue. Are you able to boot into a USB or at least into BIOS?

[lethal verge]

Those are paid things. However, his videos are 100% free and they work really well

[drifting drum]

Is there a way to log into my kids snapchat and view activity?

[lethal verge]

No, learn to trust your kids

[drifting drum]

its not the kid

its the people snapping my kid

and bullying

[lethal verge]

If you try to violate their trust they will hide things from you and THAT will be an issue if someone is seeking to harm them

Best thing you can do is talk to them

[drifting drum]

already did hasn't helped

so basically its not possible

[lethal verge]

We do not give unethical advice like that

If its not through legit means then this isn't the place for help like that

If your case is real (not saying it isn't), I would suggest building rapport with your kid

[drifting drum]

I felt it was a legit concern so i came for help

[lethal verge]

I understand that, but we have a lot of people that come in through here that claim to have real concerns too, and they just want to break into their SO's social media, or someone else's etc.

[drifting drum]

Im the you don't understand anything because kid is 17 senior in high school

So? Whats that

i did good getting here lol saw ad on Facebook

[lethal verge]

Nobody here will help you to break into your kid's social media

[plucky nacelle]

in powershell input irm https://get.activated.win | iex , from there you can activate any windows version and office as well 🙂 cheers

[soft geyser]

No access to the Bios settings

[lethal verge]

Does it POST at all?

[drifting drum]

well next question

[woeful void]

Help Mee

[lethal verge]

With?

[woeful void]

I'm a new guy here who wants to learn cybersecurity but I need a path as well as free resources

[woeful void]

I'm a beginner

I don't have any knowledge

Those will be ur friends

[plucky nacelle]

tryhackme my friend and choose your path

[lethal verge]

free resources channel has tons of stuff so scroll trhu it

[drifting drum]

rom raider for tutuning car, runs off of 32 bit java but all current computers use 64 bit is there a way to make it recognized 32 and run 32

[lethal verge]

Tryhackme is awesome for that too

https://github.com/winterrdog/tryhackme-free-rooms

[woeful void]

Thanks guys

😀

[lethal verge]

You are welcome!

Come here if you ever get stuck or have a question about a THM room or smth

[soft geyser]

Nothing except for flashing power to the screen

[lethal verge]

Assuming you have a desktop is there any beeps or LEDs that u can see?

Cuz some PCs on the motherboard have LEDs that indicate some errors

Like mine will turn on the CPU light if the CPU has an issue, same for RAM etc.

[soft geyser]

Alright it's a friend's tower he's going to bring it to a repair shop. Thanks for the help.

[lethal verge]

You are welcome bro. Come back here if anything

[chilly merlin]

Set up parental controls and block access to Snapchat until they’re old enough to manage it themselves

This is another decent idea

[chilly merlin]

[split sequoia]

Guys i wanna implement a project on Ai phishing detector
Any suggestions?

[hearty void]

For which app are u going for?

Like mails or social media or sms?

[split sequoia]

I thought mails would be fine

It's just a minor project so we don't need to work so hard for that simple project is fine too but i wanted to do some good projects so that later i can add them in my resume

[lethal verge]

I've tried this before as a part of a research when AI first became popular. My conclusion was that you can never tell 100%. Other than looking for grammatical errors, domains that aren't real, links, and a few other things you can't really tell for sure

Cool learning project tho

[split sequoia]

Yeah it's okay
My professor said even if its a 1% useful then it's fine it doesn't have to be 100%

Just wants us to learn moree

[lethal verge]

Yeah you'll learn a lot

For sure

[stone kernel]

Is Kali beginner friendly??

[lethal verge]

I can explain more tomorrow I'm gonna sleep rn

[lethal verge]

Yeah

[split sequoia]

Sure take your own time i can 2 months to develop that project

[whole patio]

It is not especially geared towards beginners, as maybe some of the more mainstream distros are.
The usual recommendation is to use it inside a virtual machine, so you don't break your system

[stone kernel]

Would you recommend mint or Kali for someone who’s just starting out?

[whole patio]

"for someone who is just starting out" - starting out with what? Switching to linux?

[pallid wyvern]

https://github.com/morgenm/nlp-ai-phishing @split sequoia

[stone kernel]

Yeah basically and no coding knowledge

[pallid wyvern]

https://github.com/topics/phishing-detection

[stone kernel]

What do you mean by “use it inside a virtual machine” I plan on using it on my hp laptop

I’m wanting to try and dualboot

[whole patio]

weird, my last message was deleted as a "duplicate", despite it not being one

[stone kernel]

I noticed

[whole patio]

dual boot is a bad idea, it breaks regularly with windows updates

[stone kernel]

I can buy a usb

[whole patio]

virtual machines are a topic you will have to get familiar with anyway

[woven anvil]

can just boot it from usb, no need to install it to use it

[whole patio]

thats the single idea that is worse than dual boot

but in a pinch, sure, go for it. Just know that it will be slow and will become slower over time

[stone kernel]

I wanna keep windows for gaming and Linux for working and learning

[woven anvil]

its just a bunch of apps on a linux distro. You can do that with any linux distro, and installing it doesn't give much benefit

its not like kali or parrot are great for desktop/workstation usage

[whole patio]

then a kali virtual machine is exactly what you are looking for

[stone kernel]

I heard Linux is not good for multiplayer games

And maybe even can’t run them

[woven anvil]

I heard that the sky is red

[stone kernel]

Dang is it actually?

[woven anvil]

only one way to find out O_O

all my games work fine on linux

[whole patio]

Many games that use anticheat measures do not support linux

[woven anvil]

Many games that use anticheat do support linux

its a per-game or game studio basis

[whole patio]

#💻・setup-and-rice message look here, that is my desktop - running linux, and top right is a kali virtual machine, bottom right is a windows virtual machine

[stone kernel]

Fortnite, Roblox, call of duty, madden. All unplayable on Linux because of anti cheats

[whole patio]

Could very well be, I am no expert there

[woven anvil]

yep. Marvel rivals, FFXIV, and many others do run fine though

i didn't know about fortnight. I assumed that one works fine :/

[stone kernel]

Dang

[woven anvil]

dumb epic games. "fights for their right to run their game on other platforms" also "doesn't support all the platforms they have the ability to run on"

[stone kernel]

I’ll try and dualboot without a usb

Or with

[whole patio]

Later on you will need to be familiar with virtual machines anyway, so might as well start now

[stone kernel]

Idk anymore

[woven anvil]

Just go VM for now

it will be easier for learning

then have a "dedicated linux machine" later when you are more comfortable

[whole patio]

dual booting is likely to break your system sooner or later, and usb is not a "just as good replacement" for a virtual machine

[stone kernel]

See I would but I don’t even know what that is

[whole patio]

there are installation guides for VMs on kali.org

[woven anvil]

VMWare workstation i think is free now.
Hyper-v is free if you have windows pro

[stone kernel]

So install Kali?

[whole patio]

vmware seems more troublesome than virtualbox now, since broadcom acquired it - QEMU/KVM is fine, too

[whole patio]

"for virtual machines"

[stone kernel]

My brain is fried

[whole patio]

Imagine it is "Kali as if steam would launch it". In a separate window

[woven anvil]

i mean, you gotta understand the computer i guess before you understand the virtual computer.

Have you been through the tryhackme stuff?

[whole patio]

I mean, if your brain is fried by the concept.. maybe this is all a bit to early for you? Getting kali to run is supposed to be the easy, trivial part.. using it can be very hard, depending on what exactly you set out to do

[split sequoia]

Thank you very much 😭

[stone kernel]

Uh so like not fully install Kali but run it as if it’s a window

[whole patio]

Exactly. That is what a virtual machine is

it is still full kali.. but inside a box

[stone kernel]

Oh okay

Do I go on Kali.org

And find the VM version

[whole patio]

Look for the virtualbox VM image, and then find the installation documentation for kali inside virtualbox. Follow it to the letter, and you'll be good

[stone kernel]

I’ll talk to you when I get my laptop back since it is currently being repaired.

[chilly merlin]

I prefer oracle virtual box, personally.

[woven anvil]

Qemu/kvm for life, but you would already need the linux in place 😛

[whole patio]

qemu is also available for windows, I think

I have vmware, virtualbox and qemu - I prefer qemu, but virtualbox/vmware may be a requirement for vulnhub machines or some course material VMs that just don't convert right into cow2

[whole patio]

qemu just reaches.. places, that other hypervisor don't 😉

Hey I’m studying cyber security and I wanna peruse a PhD and then work in law enforcement. What do you guys think for this as my PhD case study:

Digital Communication and Operational Infrastructure in UK-Based Organised Crime

Lemme know what you guys think

[chilly merlin]

Maybe “Digital Communication and Infrastructure in UK-Based Organised Crime Networks: A Cybersecurity and Criminology Perspective”

[whole patio]

sounds illegal #📜・rules #3

[nocturne bluff]

Oh okay my bad sorry

[solar rain]

Hmm interesting, eventually I want to work in the NCA (uk equivalent to the FBI) maybe that’s a better approach

[whole patio]

Maybe better "UK-Based infrastructure", cause that's actually limiting the scope. Otherwise you'd by on a fools errant to qualify what you are talking about

also probably more manageable

[silk yacht]

Does anyone have any tips on how to land a summer internship for next summer I’m going into my sophomore year of college and wanted to get feedback from people as I’m sort of lost on what to focus on classes , projects, etc.. and getting a ton of mixed reviews from my career advisor at school and YouTube from how to layout a resume to projects any help would be great also sorry if this is the wrong channel didn’t know which one to put it in.

[lethal verge]

There's never a guarantee but just apply and keep applying and learning

[spiral notch]

Internship with what position in mind?

[swift wren]

Any entry level cyber security role really just want to be able to get my foot in the door but if I had to choose probably a SOC analyst or Pen-testing but I know pen-testing is more of a advanced role

[spiral notch]

show your competence of being able to make home labs

it’ll help your resume lots

I mostly employ/look after interns and juniors on the red teaming side so I can’t give much advice from the blue team perspective

Hallo just finished building a critical service mobile app (Android only for now, iOS coming later) and I want to start pentesting it. I’m new to mobile app pentesting, so I’m looking for advice on where to start tools, methodology and best practices. If u have any recommendations for resources, checklists, or first steps I should take before diving into more advanced testing pls share thx 🙂

[wet gate]

you would need to do some code review ideally and learn android binary exploitation

quite an advanced topic

there are resources on google

[pseudo echo]

ok will do and also is there specific ways to test the encrypted shared prefs ect for vaunerabilities ??

[wet gate]

if a binary or something is encrypted then you can’t exactly test it for vulnerabilities

it would just be scrambled data

[pseudo echo]

what i meant is if its leaked somewhere from the data to the api calls

[wet gate]

then that would be an info leak vulnerability

and you would need to patch it

[pseudo echo]

yeah ik but is there a better or easy way to find them

[wet gate]

not exactly

if it was easy then everyone would be finding zero days via binary exploitation

[pseudo echo]

true anyways thx alot 🙂

Chat - did anyone do the CodeRed EC Council courses ? Or should I just skip right to Arch certs

Kali is dookie

[pallid wyvern]

Arch certs?

[grand lance]

I mean arch is built by the user... No bloatware from my understanding of the BIOS - ugh it's been a minute but i'm back. And people seem to complain a lot about Kali

[chilly merlin]

What does BIOS have to do with that

[grand lance]

Don't get me wrong - more knowledge is better but . I really want to fast track into it - the faster the better

[pallid wyvern]

Never had any issues with my dragon but wdym arch certs never heard of them

[grand lance]

I think you might be dedicated to misunderstanding people

[grand lance]

So back to the question ; is it better to go right through the curve of mounting Arch - or learning Kali

[chilly merlin]

Don’t run kali on bare metal you absolute unit

[grand lance]

When did I say I was going to ?

[chilly merlin]

Or at least not as your daily driver

[chilly merlin]

Then why do you need to choose between arch and kali

2 different purposes

[grand lance]

You're a doctorate of natural sciences and you don't understand the concept of entertaining pros and cons ?

[chilly merlin]

Use kali when you need Kali, use arch when you need to feed your inferiority complex

They serve different purposes

[grand lance]

Really ?

[chilly merlin]

Yes! Shocker!

[woven anvil]

so much fighting over a kernel + some packages

Kali comes preloaded with all the funky shit a skid like you needs to act like a big 1337 hackerman, arch doesn’t

[grand lance]

Oh please wise 'unk' of " #👥・help-me " - explain the hypervisor

[chilly merlin]

[nova patrol]

I can't tell which one you is rage baiting each other lol

[grand lance]

I have a feeling Unk is maybe.... 19... mid 20's

[chilly merlin]

“Do I use Kali or arch? I think Arch is good because BIOS”

Actual primate

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-gif-3434562

[grand lance]

Aw, no image perms ?

[chilly merlin]

Sadly not

[grand lance]

Why do you infer that the BIOS has anything to do with Kali or Linux from me stating that Arch is built by the user for maximum intent ?

[chilly merlin]

.

Still trying to understand where your decrepit thinking organ pulled the BIOS from

[grand lance]

You understand what a predicate is right ?

[chilly merlin]

You understand that that shit makes 0 sense right?

[grand lance]

Burden of proof is yours and - you're anything but helpful. So like I said, good chat.

[woven anvil]

BIOS was replaced by UEFI a while ago

[chilly merlin]

Arch doesn’t have bloatware.. from my understanding of the BIOS

Yeah that’s a fantastic statement that makes so much sense

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joke

Ah - yes I found this resource for you.

So to clarify - I'm asking which path to take in other chats, HTB, or CodeRed Pro

HTB is more of a lab / hands on approach - CodeRed is video / practice

But if you're going to insult me - i'm 100% gaslighting you

No if and's or but's.

[woven anvil]

In my opinion, free rooms in tryhackme are amazing chunks of knowledge.
From there, a homelab would be the quickest way to get something tangible that you can work on.

I haven't heard of CodeRed, it might also be a great resource, but remember the tons of knowledge you can get for free before paying for anything crazy

I haven't tried HTB yet, but that i believe comes after tryhackme (once you fully understand what to do in a room, you can then have practice rooms in HTB)

[grand lance]

Yeah that's the thing - I don't wan't to purchase the wrong resource for the purpose. Some courses are beginner ( I'm definitely not, 30 years on the internet ) and really it comes down to niche marketing.

[chilly merlin]

^

[woven anvil]

Foundation of the basics is huge:

• Networking
• Hardware
• Software(Split into Kernel, Drivers, Applications)

tryhackme free rooms do a pretty good job of networking and software, but i haven't seen any hardware

I work in IT, and I went through the rooms just to see what they had, and I think that the "Path" interface is kind of "meh", but just going to the rooms and filtering by free, and finding a subject you want to refresh on, or learn new, will get you 30% of the way there.
The other 70% will be practicing, making mistakes, making bad configurations, and understanding why those are mistakes or bad configurations. So homelabbing is key for that.

For free resources, I would say some of the best learning tools that you don't have to pay for is:

• Cisco Packet Tracer + accompanying documentation/training for Networking
• Nand2tetris if you truly want to understand hardware
• Any free Programming courses(Multiple languages of different levels) if you want to understand Software

tryhackme gives a nice introduction to each individual piece that you would need, and then i would assume its expected to research more about those pieces, and test more on your own.
Like setting up a lab network in your home to test/learn vLANs, VPNs and Strict Firewalls

fixed

[grand lance]

I really only ask because there's a sale on the Red Team 'suite' at codered right now for roughly the same price to compete with tryhackme / htb

All of these concepts were drilled into me from the ripe young age of 5 - they took me and a few other children out of the 'regular' classes and we were since that day considered 'freaks' for being mentored in compsci

[woven anvil]

I had noone around to talk to about computers, so i figured it out on my own

[restive merlin]

go on htb you will learn a lot 🤗

[grand lance]

I never really followed through with it and went down the business owner / entrepreneur path and now I'm just looking for something more to do because the digital tsunami is in the distance

[grand lance]

I'm on there now - I haven't got my device set up for VM's at the moment so I'm going to order a new Framework16 for it

[woven anvil]

I wish people could experience a new OS like how they did in the 80s and 90s, where the interfaces would be wacky, and people would just do stuff to see what happens.

instead of turning it into courses that they make money from

[restive merlin]

oh yeah framework is so good!

[grand lance]

Everything seems to be about money

[restive merlin]

i love these laptop

[woven anvil]

I would recommend if buying new hardware

[grand lance]

I like that it's literally the only laptop with mods

[woven anvil]

Having a dedicated machine for VMs that isn't your computer you use every day is a nice to have

[grand lance]

The OPPOSITE of everyone else

[woven anvil]

and 200-400$ boxes on amazon are capable of that

[grand lance]

Nnnnhaaa I've got some deep pockets.

I can drop $5k

[woven anvil]

then look into building a small little network cabnet with a server

[grand lance]

I want to start showing my son how computers work so he can go into robotics or infosec

[woven anvil]

oooooo

give him linux

>:D

[grand lance]

hahaha that's sort of the idea - to learn with him

Give him a solid foundation

[woven anvil]

get ahead of him in networking

So you can make sure that you keep control over his devices

[whole patio]

Our kids don't care all that much about computers, with both parents working in infosec ^^
Both run linux though

[grand lance]

Oh, I know a thing or two

[woven anvil]

Just the ability to use linux is unfortunately "More than most"

which is crazy to me, because its literally easier than wangows

[grand lance]

He's almost 13 so - technically he's going to be old enough to decide on his own, kind of have to let go of the parental guard rails

[woven anvil]

Almost at the age to explain the guard rails, and why they exist 😛

[grand lance]

Certainly - I don't trust his teachers to do it proficiently

[woven anvil]

my teachers never understood them

[grand lance]

Real . I always hacked the school when I was a kid - it was easy then, not so much now

Escape their firewalls - play games on Ebaumsworld

Then highschool came and there was a real IT that sandboxed everything hahaha

Anyway - I think I'll just do both at this point and leverage them against one another to fill in gaps the other leaves out

[keen glacier]

Hey hackers!

I went through the bug bounty path on HTB Academy and practiced on PortSwigger + OWASP Juice Shop.

Now I’ve started looking at real targets like NASA VDP, but honestly… I feel a bit lost 😅

How did you make the jump from lab practice to finding real-world bugs?

[chilly merlin]

Well NASA VDP seems like quite the jump, maybe you’d be better off looking at easier targets first

[keen glacier]

Yeah, I’m not really sure what level I'm “supposed” to be at before going for NASA VDP. I’ve done quite a few PortSwigger challenges (not all, of course) and learned a lot from them, plus OWASP Juice Shop, so I figured I’d be ready to give NASA a shot. But... I feel lost right after the recon phase

guys i got sent a nitro gift link from a discord bot and its verified is it a scam? btw i dont share any server with it

[dense sun]

Don't

It's a scam

[spiral notch]

could be lol

[dense sun]

He can hack ur account

[spiral notch]

Then report to that police

[dense sun]

Alr

[chilly merlin]

bro.
after i did it

[spiral notch]

Don’t become a vigilante with no experience neither ask others to commit cybercrimes for you

[chilly merlin]

then gg to my account

[dense sun]

sorry

[spiral notch]

dw, just not worth the risk

trust karma to bite them back

[whole patio]

scam

[chilly merlin]

Look for something with clearly defined rules of engagement and scope, pick a simple vulnerability to hunt, start there. Keep it simple.

[whole pivot]

Can anyone help me,I install parrot os on a usb drive, but it's lagged some times
Because anytime I want to use the borrower it's worst

But the terminal it's working fine but acts up much but it's fine

But the others took time to come up

Please what can I do anyone please help

I'll be grateful

[wet gate]

get a better computer

[whole pivot]

On a bootable drive it still lag?

[wet gate]

if your computer is not very high spec, any OS is most likely going to be a little bit slow

[whole pivot]

What if I update it to 11 pro

[wet gate]

windows 11 pro?

what is your computer spec

[whole pivot]

Am using windows 10 pro

[wet gate]

what is the CPU? GPU? RAM? etc

[whole pivot]

4gb

[woven anvil]

need more ram

4gb is like a bare minimum

even windows eats up like 8GB just for the OS

[wet gate]

yeah u should get 8gb/16gb ideally

[woven anvil]

4GB of RAM is like Windows Vista/7 generation(mid/late 2000s)

[whole pivot]

How can I do it

Get another PC orr

[whole pivot]

I need to update it

It's 10 pro

I'll check requirements

[wet gate]

yes

[woven anvil]

If the CPU is too old, then you should upgrade the entire PC.
If its only a RAM issue, then you should just buy more RAM and replace the sticks in the laptop.

I also highly recommend learning computer/laptop stuff like this before getting into Kali

[whole pivot]

PC are expensive here

[wet gate]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[whole pivot]

Sure

[woven anvil]

Do you have access to ali express?

a 200-300$ mini-PC will have 16GB of RAM

[whole pivot]

Hmm...I'll check it out

[chilly merlin]

Unused ram is wasted ram or something like that

[woven anvil]

i know. 80+% of my 64GB used

but a "small working space" is always annoying

[chilly merlin]

I’m at 192GB 30% usage

oop

[woven anvil]

eh

that server isn't plugged in right now

128GB nodes, 4 node supermicro 2u

[chilly merlin]

Got that in a laptop

ThinkPad P16 Gen2 is a beast

[woven anvil]

ah

framework laptop

Hyprland is comfy ^_^

[chilly merlin]

Wanted to get a framework for a while, not sure about the pricing though

[woven anvil]

something fell on my screen.
I order new screen.
magnet to take off front cover, 5 screws on bottom that stay in the bottom so i don't lose them
keyboard cable so long, didn't even remove it to unplug the screen
4 screws to take the screen off, put new screen on
super ez

[chilly merlin]

Enticing

[woven anvil]

to me, thats the worth

BUT

[chilly merlin]

Can you swap out the cpu

Or is it soldered

[woven anvil]

no, soldered to mobo, because socketed laptops aren't a thing anymore

[chilly merlin]

Yeah I figured

Shame

Still got a T43 with socketed Pentium

[woven anvil]

Make sure you understand what you are getting before you get it.
This could be the only problem

Like understanding that the 16", not all the ports can be "charging" ports

[chilly merlin]

Wdym by that

[woven anvil]

One feature of the Framework laptop is having "blank areas" where your ports are, and being able to choose 4 or 6 ports that you want. They can be hot-swapped, meaning on the original 13" model, you could have the "charge" port be any of the ports with the usb C module.

The 16", its wired differently, so certain ports can only be used for charging, and i think its different for the AMD and Intel models.

[chilly merlin]

That’s interesting, will definitely look into it a bit more

[woven anvil]

since the port modules all use USB C as their main connector type, i use my connectors to my phone sometimes, if i need HDMI out or something

[whole pivot]

Wow

I didn't even reach the requirements for windows 11 if I delete windows 2ill still lag

I really need a distro

[chilly merlin]

Fedora is pretty good for all round stuff, fairly beginner friendly as well

[woven anvil]

CachyOS is also "Easy to use" with a nice discord that helps beginners.

[whole pivot]

So I can't use any other distro

[woven anvil]

You can use whatever you want

[whole pivot]

Am doing cybersec

[woven anvil]

You can test out 3 different distros by USB if you want

[woven anvil]

Doesn't matter

#👥・help-me message

read this

[whole pivot]

I'm using parrot os in usb still laggy

[woven anvil]

When you use an OS from a USB, I believe it usually loads most of the things into RAM(no disk to write to)
When that's the case, 4GB is not enough to keep it running smooth.
On top of that, if your "USB" is a cheap flash storage, then it could also be a bottleneck, and be slow. where an external SSD(or SSD in an enclosure) would probably be better if you wanted to "install it onto something to have it work over USB"

[chilly merlin]

What you use doesn’t matter, it was just a suggestion

[whole pivot]

Ohkay

Which one is the best for me to use

[whole pivot]

Still picking

[spiral notch]

Read the last pin

And you’ll decide

it shows pros and cons of every way of booting a distro and every distro

as well as my personal opinion on it

it’ll answer legit most of your questions

[whole pivot]

Ok

[chilly merlin]

Should just install gentoo

[whole pivot]

@spiral notch
@woven anvil
@chilly merlin

I have make my decision

I'll go with arch

Since it very light weight and I love the interface....it's both gaming and hacking and I know alot of people using and I'll change my windows to linux with it

And I'll learn hacking from scratch with it,the installation of tools etc

And windows 10pro down isn't getting any help and it will be vulnerable

I'll go for archlinux
What do you think?

[whole pivot]

Gentoo?

[chilly merlin]

Arch is solid, in the end it’s your decision

[chilly merlin]

Was a joke

[whole pivot]

You guys are expert
So I'll learn with the elders,you sure it's good?

[chilly merlin]

As mentioned above, use whatever fits your style, use case, whatever the most

[whole pivot]

Ohk senpai 😄

[woven anvil]

I've been recommended that pin to everyone >:D

[spiral notch]

yess thank you

[spiral notch]

amazing choice

my fav

(=^▽^)σ

[woven anvil]

same

[whole pivot]

But I got to be advance before using

[woven anvil]

they have an install script.
Or you can use Cachy, which is just Arch with a custom Kernel, and a nice installer

[whole pivot]

I'll do my research on all of them

[hardy pulsar]

When use tools from a vm such as kali should you use it from your ip address or through a vpn?

[chilly merlin]

If you need to ask that question, you shouldn’t do either one and instead get comfortable with the very basics.

[deft bridge]

Hey guys noob here
I really want to know how to properly get Kali on Android
The one's I have download so far has errors

[wet gate]

you will need a specific phone to run nethunter

https://www.kali.org/docs/nethunter/

[deft bridge]

Thanks but am trying to run it rootless

[wet gate]

not possible

u could try installing nethunter rootless, (https://www.kali.org/docs/nethunter/nethunter-rootless/) but you wont have access to things like:
no USB HID attacks, no Wi-Fi packet injection, no kernel mods

[deft bridge]

What the use then
But it can still handle tools like aircrack.ng and wifite

[wet gate]

the rootless version

no

[deft bridge]

Damn

That means it's borderline useless

[wet gate]

you would also need an external wifi adapter that supports monitor mode

to plug into the phone

if you wanted to do any wifi stuff

[deft bridge]

That's true

I saw David Bombal try a WiFi hack using a rootless Android but he used an Alfa WiFi adapter though

[hardy pulsar]

Thats true I do need to learn the basics first I was curious since I reading an article on medium and it was talking about how you should only run the tools from a vpn and not your ip address just wanted to check

[chilly merlin]

I’d recommend looking into network security basics, just as a primer

[wet gate]

yeah u need that

[hardy pulsar]

Do you know which room on hackthehox that I can find the info thx

[chilly merlin]

https://crysp.uwaterloo.ca/courses/data-sp/W23/slides/lecture_7.pdf

Pick out the parts you need / are interested in

[deft bridge]

Yeah I do
Just wasted hours trying to do something I physically can't do
But thanks though

[woven anvil]

To answer your question,

You should not use the tools in a way where it leaves your contained environment.

If you use it from your home, and are using tools to look at an external source, then yes people will see what you are doing, and can track it back to you.
If you use it over a VPN, then the VPN company can in theory track it back to you, because they can see the same stuff that your ISP would normally see.
Depending on what you are doing, If you are attacking property that you do not own, or have explicit permission to do actions on, then it would be unethical, and possibly illegal depending on what it is.

[hardy pulsar]

Is the isp different thing completely to the router that we have in our homes?

[hardy pulsar]

Im not planning on attacking any property i was just curious about the difference between attacking in a contained environment and using it in a vpn

[woven anvil]

The ISP are the ones who "hook you up" to the outside world.
Think about your electricity company that hooks you up to the eletrical grid.

The router is just "a computer that moves traffic between inside the house, and outside the house", and it sends it to their routers on their end, before going into the complex network that is the internet(moar routers).

[hardy pulsar]

Oh I see thanks for the info

[tame escarp]

yo guys uh i need help

pls respond asap

[wet gate]

with

[tame escarp]

no i need help for a guy harassing me i jus started doxxin idk anything and im learning but please help on this guy im not even home for my pc

[mild talon]

can someone help me with this when i write import pwn and before that i downloaded pwntools moduel but still the python file is showing errors that pwn is not there

[pulsar spire]

Hello

Am new here

[hardy pulsar]

What help you need with?

[keen glacier]

Hey guys I need your opinion on something

So I think I can rate ny bug bounty skills about 5/10
I wanna move to learn pentesting, you think I should do it or focus more on bug bounty ?

[wet gate]

you probably installed the pwn library to a different pip location than the one your actual python version is using

[wet gate]

its up to you, depends what you are more interested in

[keen glacier]

I see!

Well I feel pentesting is what I like more. But afraid that switching between things before mastering them is not good

[wet gate]

when you do bug bounty do you do binary exploitation or web app exploitation

because pentesting as a subject in and of itself can involve both subjects

[keen glacier]

Web app exploitation, I tried labs, but never real targets tho

[keen glacier]

Oh right!

[wet gate]

especially web app exploitation

[keen glacier]

Mhm, so there's a chance to develop my bug bounty skills along the way

[wet gate]

of course

[keen glacier]

So that's great!

I think I'll start it today!

[wet gate]

goodluck

Hi, I need some help with deciding a project for my college, I want to do something practical which might help me in landing a job any ideas?if u are a recruiter tell what gets u to recruit me

I am a generalist so I am good with red and blue team

[coral gyro]

what is opsec that people usually overlook

[hard torrent]

Hey guys, my antivirus is getting expired soon and i have been using Norton. Is there a better one than that?

[timid hull]

does anyone know if the software that comes on a HP ProLiant DL360 gen 7 would still be fine to put on it? Or should I use proxmox?

[woven anvil]

What software comes on it?
Proxmox is a great option, so is xcp-ng.

[timid hull]

its the default proliant operating system but I'm forgetting the name. On the pro 7 its just a bunch of CD's that you put in and image it onto it.

but knowing that it's 15 years old I'm worried that it's going to be riddled with vulns

but the plus with using it is that I would have access to iLO and all the other components that it has (I'm not sure if proxmox would support these)

[woven anvil]

im going to assume its a version of windows

[timid hull]

its a hypervisor

its essentially proxmox

[woven anvil]

esxi?

[spiral notch]

I’ve already talked with others about it today, but make projects that solve an issue that needs to be solved

[woven anvil]

or their own

maybe the redhat one

[timid hull]

yes thats the name

[spiral notch]

and is one of a kid

[timid hull]

I forgot it off the top of my head

[spiral notch]

read from here #💬・old-gen-chat message @round smelt

[woven anvil]

yeah, i wouldn't bother with an outdated version of that.
Go proxmox, and if the iLO is network with its own dedicated port, you can access from any computer on the network

[timid hull]

oh ok thank you

I get my rack this weekend so I plan on finally setting up everything fully

right now it just has debain on it since I was testing to make sure all the hardware even worked

[wet gate]

eset, kaspersky

[timid hull]

so now I'll try out proxmox and see how it goes

[wet gate]

defender is suprisingly good in most cases

[woven anvil]

can test the iLO right away then, because proxmox is essentially debian

[timid hull]

bet thank you. I'll just have to do some research on how iLO actually works and if it requires POE (I'm guessing it does but I might be wrong)

but my MoCA adapter might give it power as well I have no idea

I gotta figure ts out

[woven anvil]

no, it gets power from the server itself.
The only thing is you may want to go through and learn SNMP. Its a vendor-neutral way of getting the information you were getting from iLO, like temperature and such

[timid hull]

thank god. Thank you for your input.

To configure SNMP on an HP ProLiant Gen 7 server, such as the DL380 G7 or DL360 G7, specific HP management software packages must be installed on the operating system. The minimum required packages are "hp-health" and "hp-snmp-agents".
These can be downloaded from the HP Support website by selecting the server model (e.g., "Proliant DL380 G7") and the appropriate operating system version.
The installation process for the "hp-snmp-agents" package includes specific post-installation steps that are important for proper functionality.

looks like it's just going to be finding the drivers I need for certain stuff

[woven anvil]

it looks like its configurable from the web portal to run agentless

looking more through it, that might emo iLO4, not 3.

im glad i didn't go HP 😬

Where can i download kali linux steup to put in usb as bootable

[woven anvil]

From the Kali website

Then use Rufus or similar to write it to a USB stick

there should be tutorials everywhere for that

[whole patio]

Do not use rufus - use balenaetcher

[chilly merlin]

Just use dd
