👥・help-me

[random galleon]

Hi, I'm new here

[whole patio]

Not saying it can, but it certainly lacks any awareness for contexts

unlike real people

[flat hill]

Try fraud gpt or hacker gpt

Chatgpt is bad

[whole patio]

honestly they are all bad, but they have a certain appeal for people who are even worse

[woven anvil]

User error

[patent walrus]

Yup,ChatGpt has some restrictions about unethical activities

[woven anvil]

The issue tbh is that you have no idea what you are asking it to do. Just pretending like its "Magic" that someone else will take care of.

[patent walrus]

Will inform you when it's done doing what I want to know.

[woven anvil]

You haven't told us what you want to know yet.

[patent walrus]

Ok, hacking.

[woven anvil]

Its a broad, non-descriptive term.

Are you looking to gain unauthorized access to someone's devices or networks?

[patent walrus]

Honestly

[woven anvil]

?

[flat hill]

Any alternative to zphisher

Im seriously curious

On why it cant mask

[woven anvil]

I believe people above have replied to alternatives.

[flat hill]

[woven anvil]

I don't scam grandmas, so i have no use.

[flat hill]

I guess ill use hidden eyes

[flat hill]

Sad for you to assume

Its the opposite

Im the good guy

Targeting scam centers

[woven anvil]

Scammers think they are the good guy, targeting scam countries.

How you feel about something doesn't make it more legal to do.

We do not teach vigilantism on this server.

[patent walrus]

I scam any irrespective of who you are

[woven anvil]

So thats the intention?

[flat hill]

Highly disappointed

[woven anvil]

Don't know about networking, programming, any of the tech required, but want to learn about hacking to scam everyone you can?

[flat hill]

Immature people at their finest

But i don’t want them to remember this for the rest of their life

I shall remain silent

[lost vapor]

You said you're a she

[whole patio]

Because you do not actually know what you are doing, which is both why no one believes for a second that this is your job, and how bad you are at this

[hard steeple]

scam and pyramid schemes

[hard steeple]

yeah he’s genderfluid ig 🏳️‍🌈

😭

said it’s a he like 3 times then trolls around and shortly forgets his act

[lost vapor]

Bro even forgot their own pronouns🥀

[whole patio]

they said they are "she", then wrote about chatgpt being like your GF who teases but does not put out, then deleted it quickly.. so anybodies guess, but doesn't really matter.. I can imagine their scam mails.. with several replies by themselves to disregard the former

[flat hill]

Why cant i use mrholmes

Mr holmes

I did cd and when i go write ls

Idk which one to bash

[whole patio]

Check with their documentation and consult their github/community with questions

[whole patio]

Real talk - you are just wasting your own time not reading what people wrote for their own projects and for other people to follow along. If you need this much handholding, then this is just not the field for you

you are not learning anything other than "I depend on other people constantly"

[ripe merlin]

I'll need someone to deleted a tiktok account where the user is mocking about parents losted their kids and posted videos of kids without consent

[whole patio]

contact tiktok support, apart from that there is nothing anyone here will do for you

[ripe merlin]

Okay thanks bro

[wispy solstice]

im stuck on the "appointment" box on HTB becasue i dont know where the "SecLists.txt" is located

[whole patio]

HTB has a discord server, too

[wispy solstice]

Yeah I just joined it

[dawn sparrow]

Who is that on ur profile?

[spiral notch]

that’s him..?

[dawn sparrow]

Alr

[floral vale]

I have a product key from an old laptop of mine for Windows 11 PC. I also have a COA serial number since it was refurbished, Is there a way to install windows on a different PC and use that product key and serial number?

[lost vapor]

Why?

[dawn sparrow]

Js ✌️ asking

[lost vapor]

Alr lol

[spiral notch]

the answer is very simple.. just google

[lost vapor]

I think there might be unless it's exclusive for the laptoo

[floral vale]

On the paperwork it says it can only be used on the original machine. I tried using it throug a windows VM but with no success

[flat hill]

I wish i had a mentor

[floral vale]

Its not a big deal, i just want to be able to dual boot off my pc. I can just use tiny11 or something

[spiral notch]

then heres your answer

[flat hill]

But thats not possible

[spiral notch]

like there are probably illegal workarounds but

it’s Microsoft

don’t mess with it

[spiral notch]

ok..?

[flat hill]

[floral vale]

The laptop is destroyed that it came with, just want to try and salvage the key

[spiral notch]

“Ahh I’m so lonely I wish I had a mentor… >w<“ like what’s the point of you typing these. You never stop asking for illegal things, you lie about your age, then about who you are, then try to fool us multiple times as if we’re ChatGPT

are you seriously this bored?

[flat hill]

Why would i be stupid enough to reveal my identity

[spiral notch]

go study on those tests before you come crying again that you wanna hack your school and it’s unfair that you can’t cheat

[flat hill]

😔

Im tired

Of trying

No one guides me

[spiral notch]

yeah

[flat hill]

I just need a hint

Thats all i need

[spiral notch]

you’re just embarrassing yourself here

you’re not getting a hint

[flat hill]

Okay

[flat hill]

Thats why im here to gain knowledge

[astral nymph]

#👥・new-member-guide

This looks like another chat channel now lol

[whole patio]

That's a lie

You are here to actively avoid learning anything on your own

you dont need a mentor.. or hints.. you need a few more years under your belt before you are old enough for this

An you need to stop lying to us and yourself about it.. you are not a hacker, you are not on your way to become an cybersec/infosec professional.. you lack foundation everywhere.. my honest to god advice - let it be, forget about all of this.. and get back to it 3-5 years later

[chilly merlin]

no ones too young to hack

[whole patio]

glad to hear that.. you volunteering to help them out then?

[solid gull]

There is no age to when u can start hacking

[whole patio]

Did not say there is an "age limit", but if you lack basic knowledge literally everywhere.. then you need a few more years at it.. whether you were 12 or 30.

If you are 60 years old, and have not the slightest clue about computers, networks, architecture, protocols, .. then I would still tell you that you need a few more years getting the basics down, before you should try to mess around with .. what was it today? Phishing frameworks and stalkerware?

Disagree all you want, but unless you want to put your money where your mouth is, and maybe try mentoring this case right here, I don't really care what you have to add to it

[wispy solstice]

i just found a cool thing out (probbaly not to yall but is to me considering the fact that i couldnt find it out) i can drag and drop a file in the vm into the command line and itll have its whole path

[whole patio]

you can start hacking at any age, and your cant be old enough at any age

[wispy solstice]

ok but this command still aint working

[whole patio]

you never posted any command

[vernal thunder]

Hi everyone I have a question, idk if I’ve asked this before but, obviously everyone knows that learning everything in cybersecurity is impossible, however, when it comes to pentesting and making it a career at a company, would you recommend being specialized in a certain area? Or be good all around? Or simply be good in one area, and in your free time (if you would like) try exploring different specialized areas

[wispy solstice]

"gobuster dir --url http: //{target ip}/ --wordlist {wordlist location}/directory-list-2.3-small.txt"

[whole patio]

you only have an ip, not a domain?

[wispy solstice]

yes its running off the ip of the box

[whole patio]

I dont really use gobuster, but it seems from the manpage that it is expection an URL rather than an IP address. Maybe the FUZZ command would be more helpful here? my go to tool would be feroxbuster

[wispy solstice]

well it aint acutally anything with the ip or url thing its the fact that it cant find the directory for the wordlist

[whole patio]

that would have been a clever thing to mention in the beginning - whats the actual error then

[wispy solstice]

im sorry. its telling me "2025/09/28 15:23:58 wordlist file "/home/tony/SecLists/directory-list-2.3-small.txt" does not exist: stat /home/tony/SecLists/directory-list-2.3-small.txt: no such file or directory"

[whole patio]

You using kali?

[wispy solstice]

yes

[whole patio]

/usr/share/seclists/Discovery/Web-Content/directory-list-2.3-small.txt``` 

those are default locations, if you have seclists installed

[wispy solstice]

ok thanks ill try them

"/home/tony/SecLists/Discovery/Web-Content/DirBuster-2007_directory-list-2.3-small.txt" was the right file path

appreciate it

[rain knot]

path of least resistance, seclists has most of what you need when just mucking about

[whole patio]

Got roped into trying to recover files from an old imac hard drive.. never done that.. reading up on the specific problems seems.. daunting

[spiral notch]

certain area obviously, most jobs want a specialist, not a generalist

[rain knot]

Those were built wrong.

[whole patio]

I usually recommend to pick a topic that you are aiming to get so good at, that people think of you when it comes to it

[rain knot]

Like on an eldritch horror level

[whole patio]

found a report from 2023 about encrypted apfs and the need to either spin up macos or windows VMs to actually access the files when dmg2img fails .. fun

[rain knot]

Is this plists or no plists version?

[vernal thunder]

Ah okokk, and one question, what’s the reason companies don’t care about a generalist? Or simply don’t have interest in them

[whole patio]

I just spoke to the guy whose hard drive it is .. no idea.. will get it in a few days

[rain knot]

Before 2001 - no plist for you

[whole patio]

they might care, they might just care more about someone who can do things, generalists cannot

[spiral notch]

say you need 2 people for an army. Would you rather pick a professional sniper and another professional close range gunman, or would you rather pick 2 people that are balanced (yet intermediate) but can do both

your efficiency will not go up vertically

hybridness.. maybe

[rain knot]

point of order, that sounds more like a “police action” than an “army”?

[spiral notch]

English is not my first language, and this is the first example I could think of

[vernal thunder]

Ah Okok, so it’s much better to specialize in an area rather than being a generalist?

[rain knot]

Okay, so there are like other people in the army in theory

[vernal thunder]

Like your chances of employment are higher?

[spiral notch]

it does not seem like that, but when I have to translate thoughts from my own mind then it slips up

[spiral notch]

pretty much always

[rain knot]

My bad, wasn’t trying to be rude or talking down or anything

[spiral notch]

yes

[spiral notch]

╰(´︶`)╯♡

[spiral notch]

well it depends on what position

but jobs will mostly attempt to have better budgets for their cybersecurity part and would rather hire a blue teamer + a red teamer

(as an example, again)

[rain knot]

I think a lot of jobs believe they want a specialist but don’t realize how messed up their infra is and actually NEED a generalist

[vernal thunder]

Let’s say web application pentesting

[whole patio]

All I know is, its a grown ass person, and their baby pictures are on that drive.. no idea how old it is, the imac itself is nonfunctional, and I asked them whether they are the kind of person to use long random passwords.
This gentle shaved giant looked me in the eyes and said "No"

but cant remember the password either

[rain knot]

I shall burn the blood and herbs and incant on your behalf. I truly hope this isn’t too too bad

This is all because you had to be good at something in public. No good deed goes unpunished

[whole patio]

I held a talk about storage forensic for the masses.. and this type of thing gets you typecasted. I was also given an old android phone that does not turn on anymore to "take a look at"

[spiral notch]

obviously it’d be preferable for a person with knowledge of web app pentesting rather than a bit of web app pentesting, a bit of network pentesting, a bit of mobile pentesting and a bit of networking knowledge

[rain knot]

Yeah, that’s what I’m interested in the most

[vernal thunder]

You’re right

[shy jewel]

hey guys, i am new to linux but want to go hardcore from the start, what do you guys prefer endevourOS or Arch linux

[whole patio]

Honestly I will pry it open and try to charge the battery for them - when I plug it into a charger it shows no activety, but thermal imaging shows the whole device gets warmer

a weird waterproof "outdoor" brand that I couldn't get open right there and then

[spiral notch]

I’m always right 😚

[spiral notch]

arch

I don’t like arch based stuff cuz they’re usually more bloated even if only a bit

ruins the purpose of arch kinda

[chilly merlin]

Nixos

It has no congruency with the linux ecosystem and is undoubtedly far harder and more complex with basically no upside for a single user system.

I highly implore you to dive down the rabbit hole.

[woven anvil]

not totally, but its ok to hate on them

[distant plinth]

[shut vessel]

Hey guys im new here. I have this idea to start an investigative journalism where im from, Philippines, recently there has been a big news about corruption and the senate is investigating. Now i do not care about the politics tbh and i honestly see that this “investigating” that they’re doing is just for show. Can someone help me with how to start? I am a simple human being with basic knowledge about the internet just like any other filipinos today. I want to learn the right way to do things around the internet, like follow the money etc. so i can share it and give the information unbiased and no media circus included. Just the raw data being shared. I would appreciate it so much if anyone at all could help me or give me pointers on how to plan all of this first and then execute it

[rich prairie]

thank you!

[thin quest]

this isn’t more of a help me question but more a question to those who are advanced or expert or has been in the cybersecurity space for a long time?

Why is it preferable to know how script to and make your own tools from what I heard from people

I know the answer kinda to this and can assume so but I wanna hear options from those with said experience (what separates the experts/advanced from the beginners?)

[woven anvil]

experts are the ones that are understanding what exactly is happening all the way through the experience.

Beginners would know how to maybe use a tool, and do a thing with the tool. But they won't understand how it works, or why it works the way it does. That limits what they can do with the tool. If you make your own, then you have a fundamental understanding of how said tool works, and why it works the way it does, because you had to understand the underlying principles.

Lets take something simple like a ping tester.

If you know that you can use ping to see if you can talk to a server, it would be a beginner understanding of what it is.

If you understand that a ping tool sends an ICMP packet to a host, and that host sends a response back, and you have broken that down so you know what is happening on the wire, then you could program your own tool that sends the same packet, and customize it however you want.

Scripting is the same thing.

This is also ignoring the safety concerns of running binaries you didn't compile yourself, or scripts you didn't make yourself. There are a lot of bad actors out there, so someone with more expertise may be more suspicious of a script or application written by someone else.

[vernal cape]

if it possible to like get access of attendance maching it doesent have that fingerprint thing it is for student id card scanner i want to like get access it if it possible can you tell me how to i want to play video on it

[woven anvil]

I don't know exactly what you are asking for. It sounds like you are trying to gain unauthorized access to a school system.

[whole patio]

Some are capable of doing what other did before them and write down, others may be capable to build a tool that does something no one before did and wrote down.

TL:DR Do you need to wait for someone to find a vulnerability? And would you then have to wait for someone to write an exploit? Or could you be either person

[hot surge]

Hi guys

[wooden flower]

I’m trying to scrape the reviews on airbnb but the response of the server is an encrypted json, does anyone have any ideas?

[slow edge]

Is it a hash or cipher?

[slow edge]

Btw thanks 🫡 I see you are helping a lot in the server recently! Keep doing that 🙌

[spiral bloom]

whats the difference ;-;, I'm still in pre-security but I wanna finish what I started a long time ago

[hard steeple]

hihi happy to do so ^o^/

[final zealot]

Lol a help me chat section on a "hackers" page 🤦🏾 I'm asking for advice and yall tryna put me on a timeout and be rude sheesh I'll figure something out

[slow edge]

So basically cipher is something that can be encoded and decoded
But a hash is a one way function, it only encodes and the only way to reverse it and see what was the text is to brute force it!

If it is a cipher, I would say go to a site like cipher identifier and look what type of cipher it is. Then try to search how to decode it

If it’s a hash then we have tools like hash identifier or even sites, once you identify it use John or hashcat with some well known wordlist like rockyou to crack it

[hard steeple]

how were any of us rude

[spiral bloom]

aaah alrighty

[hard steeple]

also this is for legal hacking

[slow edge]

Okayy sure! I would say contact your local authorities 🫡 see ya have a nice one 🧡

[uncut furnace]

does anyone here use linux? i have a favor to ask

so i want to install an app called "cold turkey blocker" on linux (i use windows but if installing it on linux is possible ill replace my os with linux) but it doesnt have linux support, its only available for windows and mac from the official website, some people told me that it might work if i use wine but i dont know what that is and i dont wanna install a vm to verify if itll work, all you have to do is use wine to install it and block an app and tell me if it worked with native linux apps or not

[spiral notch]

so you want us to install wine and test an app in wine for you so you dont test it yourself? 🤣

[uncut furnace]

uhh i dont have linux and i dont wanna make a vm etc.

[spiral notch]

yeah well sorry but people arent here to test around your stuff either

[primal wraith]

So you want someone else to set up a VM and test it out... No one's just gonna throw a random app on their daily drive OS to test functionality at a base level... Make a VM. It takes no time

[spiral notch]

^^

[whole patio]

So 20 minutes from now I am going to flip a coin and tell you either it worked, or it didnt work, depending on the coin toss - thats pretty much what you are asking us to do, when it comes to the question of whether you can get it to work.

That being said - forget about the tool.. the question is not whether you can get it installed with wine, but whether it can do the function you are looking for, and the answer is No, according to its developer. There is very little a person with root privileges won't be able to do with linux

https://www.pluckeye.net/ maybe take a look at this

guys, i think i need some help

someone is using his hacking skills to threaten me

what do i do?

he can really hacks

one day i argue with him and next morning i see strange log in from my socials

the log in is not even from my place

and i didnt told him about any of my passwords

[deft violet]

If youre that worried about it change your passwords, enable 2 factor auth.

[chilly merlin]

thats scary dude

[spare geode]

Report to wherever you getting threatened at, change password, email and add 2auth on whatever got pwned and if it carries on contact your local police, aside from that not much you can do

[dry prism]

done i changed my password

and i couldnt do the authenticator app cuz my phone is too old, it have no finger or face id

so i used 2 step verification

@spare geode

is that ok?

do you need more infomations about what he uses?

he uses smth called brute force

[spare geode]

Oh if that’s the case you should be fine with just a password change and 2 step verification

[viral badge]

Hi pls I don’t have a PC,I need a PC, some please help me one

[shy dragon]

i do use linux as a VM and as main OS

So to answer your favor request:

Installing Cold Turkey Blocker on Linux with Wine is possible, but it won’t achieve what you want. It won’t be able to block native Linux apps, since those aren’t running in Wine’s Windows subsystem.

If you want strict app/site blocking on Linux, you’ll need native Linux tools. For example:

Website blocking → edit /etc/hosts, use ufw rules, or browser extensions.

App blocking / focus tools → apps like [FocusWriter, Timekpr-next, SelfControl (Linux fork), or bash scripts with crontab to kill processes].

👉 In short: replacing Windows with Linux won’t make Cold Turkey Blocker usable. But Linux does have its own native productivity/blocking tools — and since it’s open-source, you can even lock them down harder than Cold Turkey if you set things up correctly.

@uncut furnace @shy dragon first of all, iirc bridging between wine apps and native apps is possible even if it’s unnecessarily complicated

second of all, wtf is that chatgpted response spectra? People come here to ask from experts, not ChatGPT

everyone with half a brain cell is able to use ChatGPT

[uncut furnace]

oh god why is everytime i ask a question in a tech discord server or forum theyre so stingy 😞

[spiral notch]

it’s not towards you

especially considering it’s outdated or inaccurate like half the time

[wispy solstice]

not necessarily a question or anything but i want to be "red team" trying to get into things rather than defend from things, if that makes sense. it just seems more fun to me in my opinion

[spiral notch]

cool!

Best of luck, it’s a super competitive field ;)

[wispy solstice]

of course, i figured that, but itll be more of a hobby and since im going into the navy and the job i chose said something about taking a "red hat" course or something, ya know

[spiral notch]

red hat, the company

And red hat, the

meaning of hats

is something different

from red teaming

wait, chatGPT to manually use the hosts file website blocking?

My SO got really pissed when he found a study that essentially said texts written by people on the spectrum are statistically relevant often mistaken for LLM output ^.^ though that might be a thing from the past nowadays

[woven anvil]

I get confused for LLMs when i don't run it through LLMs, so i can believe it

[wispy solstice]

whats llm

[woven anvil]

The technology that drives the "AI" of today.

"AI" has been a thing since the 1980s

[whole patio]

Large Language Model. Chatgpt, copilot, deepseek, etc

[wispy solstice]

ah

[woven anvil]

I wonder if its because we take language rules literally o,o

[shy dragon]

Right

[whole patio]

I really don't know, every theory I had got countered by recent models behavior. I think it is just down to a larger vocabulary

Stalking does not make you seem like the top guy. It can get you in a lot of trouble.
We do not discuss unethical activity on this server.

[flat hill]

Isn’t it osint

Open source isn’t illegal or is it?

[whole patio]

Stalking is

[woven anvil]

Having written authorization to perform certain actions in a legal way is different than "making your school friends laugh".

Open Source has nothing to do with this conversation.

And as I was telling you before.. this isn't chatgpt.. so we do remember what the topics were you asked before, and so this might lead to people seeing your newest questions and saying to themselves.. nah..

Well i want to have tabs on all my teachers because im spending years with them

So i want to get to know them more

[woven anvil]

Cool.

Be a human, and talk to them, and get to know them.

[flat hill]

They dont have time

They shun me off

[woven anvil]

Stalking someone isn't the answer to that.

[flat hill]

What if its my brothers pic

[whole patio]

...........

[woven anvil]

Stalking your brother is just as weird

[flat hill]

I want to test its vulnerability because to get awarness

Otherwise i would fall behind in internet knowledge

[whole patio]

go set up a server

[woven anvil]

You are already behind. You are asking us how to stalk people instead of starting with information thats been around since the 1980s.

Do not continue this conversation. This is the warning.

Okay bro , how can I learn with the resources

[whole patio]

click the links, start reading, hopefully it will become more clearly to you

The TL:DR version is - if someone makes an effort to condense knowledge into easily digestible course material, and keep it up to date, those resources usually are not free.. or maybe partly free to get people interested.
For everything else, the learning and filtering part falls mainly on you

got damn computers

my friend asked to help fix his computer. apparently his kids messed something up. It is a Lenovo Legion T7-34IAZ7 Desktop. stuck on reboot cycle and no display..

So i take it home and start troubleshooting, unplugg everything besides keyboard and monitor. first of i get no display and just reboots. I reset the BIOS. and plug in HDMI just in case, HDMI works but no image on Displayport. Fine i think, it's a later issue.

I get into bios, get to run diagnos, everything checks out fine.

Finally I get into where i can see a proper error message. NO Operating system Found.. Ok, well thats' something to go on at least.

Check with friend if it's ok to reformat or whatever with windows, it's fine..

Download and install WIn 11 on USB stick (With Rufus) so far so good ?

got damn computer has boot option for USB HD and USB CDROM ? i try both but none works. it still defauls to wanting to boot from the M2 (nvram disk) and fail..

:/

what i am missing.. hmms

yupp

[whole patio]

Tried the boot menu with f12 during bootup?

[pale cairn]

If your balance is now positive, a pop-up should appear with some green words in it. Input the green words as the answer to this question (all in uppercase). (You may need to hit Refresh if you closed the pop-up already)

[tropic basin]

yes it will not show :/

it's so quick like.. split second to reboot. only goes straight to bios on f12

[barren barn]

Then do what it says

[whole patio]

f12 shouldn't be straight to bios.. that should be either enter to disrupt normal startup or f1

[pale cairn]

Because I don’t have a laptop

[tropic basin]

indeed..

ahh nvm, my bad

it starts a bios boot menu with no options besides uefi for the one drive that wont boot windows

[barren barn]

You trying to do HTB

If so you need a laptop or computer to open the terminal

[whole patio]

well, it does not consider your installation stick a valid boot medium then. I would try a different usb stick, maybe flash with dd mode rather than recommeded mode using rufus (or balenaetcher)

[tropic basin]

aye, got it! also got the right recovery from lenovo for the desktop. getting another receroy now to put to stick

[pale cairn]

Yea

[barren barn]

Then you would need a computer/laptop for the terminal use

[pale cairn]

Hmm I wish I get some I really want to do this

[pale cairn]

So where can I learn without computer

if they've never posted anything online or dont have a digital footprint its a lot harder to find information about them online

Hey everyone, I’m new here and still learning. I wanted to ask — what are some realistic ways I can use AI to make active income without it taking up my whole day? Ideally something that requires a few minutes of effort daily but can still generate money. I’d appreciate any pointers or examples you can share please 🙏

[gusty tree]

Hi guys i’m new to this whole cybersecurity thing although i have experience in programming from past projects and i want to learn to earn money in the long run how would you suggest i go about it if i want to be elite in the cybersecurity space

[astral nymph]

just think of it like this-
if AI can be used for how you wanna use it in the way you said it, they'd make the AI private and use it themselves and if it's out for public or even for a cost, it's either a scam or the risk outweighs the opportunity which basically can be called a scam.
The closest thing that i can think of is possibly making ai youtube videos or shorts but as we all must have seen, it's already flooded enough with that content.

So long story short, unless you get super duper lucky, you're not gonna make money off of a few minutes a day with ai unless you make an ai yourself that's revolutionary which requires hard work in the first place.

[astral nymph]

starting with basics and having strong foundation is key

Thanks Eris2cats

[whole patio]

What kind of test?

[burnt condor]

Hey Guys Sfisoo here I'm new

[fringe timber]

Hi everyone, I am new here.

[severe iron]

Hello guys 👋🏻
I am new here, I need an assistant

[spiral notch]

for?

[magic badge]

Hi everyone

Lets make friends

[chilly merlin]

Wozzup pple so i downloaded vuln hub machines and set the network for my kali and machine to NAT when i sudo net i got the IP but when i Nmap it it says no hosts are up unlike the youtube videos where am i wrong ??

[sand eagle]

Hello

[crisp star]

You use NAT. That's the problem.

[chilly merlin]

What should i switch to??

[crisp star]

You use VirtualBox?

[chilly merlin]

Yes

[crisp star]

Move them to internal

Your kali machine and the vulnhub machine

They should be in the same network

[chilly merlin]

Ok

[chilly merlin]

Only that or is there anything else??

[crisp star]

That's pretty much it.

[chilly merlin]

Ok am turning my machine on stay close broo

[crisp star]

I think your virtual DHCP should assign both VMs an IP in the same network

[chilly merlin]

Ok

[chilly merlin]

So the vuln hub machine's IP is the only one here or???

[crisp star]

It should be

[chilly merlin]

Ok let me nmap it

[crisp star]

Also what IP address does your Kali Machine have?

[chilly merlin]

💀💀🤔

[crisp star]

I see you need an introduction in basic networking

[chilly merlin]

😅😅

[chilly merlin]

Still 0 hosts up 😅

[crisp star]

Like I said. Tell me the IP-Address of your Kali Machine.

And I hope you didn't copy paste the IP-adress from the video.

[chilly merlin]

Nope

[chilly merlin]

Problem is i don't trust you 😭😭

[harsh drift]

Which Linux didtro is way to use? Just for general use?

[chilly merlin]

Fine let me tell you

[chilly merlin]

One moment my net is down

[hearty wing]

I need help I have an image that is not showing clear how can I get it to show clearer

[whole patio]

vulnhub has a guide on how to set up labs for their machines https://vulnhub.com/lab/

[whole patio]

Personal preference.. atm I recommend fedora for simple users who dont want to dive deeper

[chilly merlin]

Ok let me check it out

[whole patio]

"zoom an enhance" is a movie fiction

[harsh drift]

Hm. Well it could help to get started into ethical hacking?

Like uses the same commands

[woven anvil]

On linux, most "commands" are actually other programs that you run.
Programs that can usually be installed on any Linux

[harsh drift]

I wont dual boot, I'll just use virtual box on my pc so I won't have to have more stress than I already have

[whole patio]

linux is linux, some tools work differently, but those are few and far inbetween. Either way you would be smart to look at different linux families anyway.. you have no idea what a server you are looking at is running, after all

[harsh drift]

Oh true. And virtual box, u cna have multiple running as well

[woven anvil]

same as hyper-v

and with hyper-v, you don't have dogwater performance 😮

[whole patio]

on the other hand you may have a harder time setting up labs with vulnhub or other services that let you download vulnerable machines

[harsh drift]

Bc I did had one dirsto running and other running and tried to practice hacking my Ubuntu one (didn't grt far bc i watc network chuck)

[whole patio]

My suggestion would be - choose a somewhat stable host operating system.. and the rest you use are virtual machines

[harsh drift]

To be honest the whole reason I wanted to get into hacking was to mostly to mess eith scammers

[chilly merlin]

Yooooooooooooh thenxxxxxxx it workeeeeeed port 22 is open informed help thenxxx broooooooo

[whole patio]

well thats something you wont receive help with on this server #📜・rules no 3

[harsh drift]

Ik I was busting its way my goal is

[chilly merlin]

Broo question my fire fox is not loading the deathnote site despite saying it is connected to the ethernet uum ??

[whole patio]

not your bro and what am I supposed to do about it?

[chilly merlin]

Am asking for help friend 😅😅

[chilly merlin]

It just says having a trouble locating this site please help out friend

[whole patio]

Im honestly not here to help you browse the interwebz

[chilly merlin]

No listen i youtubed it and they are not working am serious 😅

[woven anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-it-have-you-tried-turning-it-off-and-on-again-telephone-on-call-gif-15495555

[chilly merlin]

Let me try it

[chilly merlin]

Nothing what is confusing me is that in task manager it shows a network graph reading the kbps like 😅😅💀

[woven anvil]

I can only say, Start with Cisco's Network Academy, and learn the OSI models. Then move onto gateways, switching, Wireless + DNS. Then figure out which one of those things are causing the issue for you. If another machine on the same network does not have the issue, it could be an issue with the OS, or pebkac.

[chilly merlin]

Thenx bro ✌️👊

[whole patio]

Didn't it cross your mind that a smart person would mention what they need help with, before asking someone if that is something they can help with?

https://dontasktoask.com/

[woven anvil]

Depending on what it is, there are a bunch of people here who know way more than me about a bunch of things.

[woven anvil]

Great example is this person ^

Thank you for being you Eris ^_^

[crisp star]

Some people say you need a degree and some people say you don't. Let's say a degree helps you not getting filtered out by HR during the initial screening.

[astral glacier]

Hey i wanna learn ethical hacking... Do anybody can teach me?

[woven anvil]

Think about it the other way around.

If I was a company who had over 1000 resumes to go through, where am I looking?

And because ever person is different, what the company does can be vastly different. Some, the HR Manager will filter you if you don't have "any degree whatsoever". In some, its the IT Manager doing the hiring, and they are looking more for Experience and Projects.

[astral glacier]

Guyz do anybody can?

[woven anvil]

We don't do mentoring here.
#👥・new-member-guide

[astral glacier]

Thanks buddy... @woven anvil

@woven anvil let me know that python is necessary to learn for ethical hacking?

[woven anvil]

Sure.

If you don't know any coding at all, you can start with something like
https://www.codedex.io/

[astral glacier]

@woven anvil thankyou buddy

@woven anvil add me bro.. can we talk in personal chat?

[woven anvil]

No thank you. Any questions you may have, other people may have as well, so its better to put it here.

Plus, if I try to scam you, then everyone can see it plain and simple here 😉

[astral glacier]

You scaring me man

[whole patio]

oh boy you dont want to run an antivirus scanner on kali

[astral glacier]

Whats that mean?

[woven anvil]

A lot of Tools used by technicians are typically marked as malicious by AV scanners, as they are often used maliciously. Kali has a lot of those tools, plus other tools that are specifically built for testing computer security. AV scanners pick it up and go crazy when they just see a folder full of it, because if you are not expecting those tools to be on your computer, then it could be a problem.

[whole patio]

Which.. scares people when defender gets a stress hiccup about it

[woven anvil]

tbf, the ones who are typically vocal about it also don't disclose their giant folder of cracked software filled with malware.

[whole patio]

I did the "storage forensic" talk last weekend.. I found malware on any of the laptops I bought from private persons, usually in cracked games

[astral glacier]

I am tottally beginnar bro

[woven anvil]

People not clearing their ssds before selling? Or you rebuilt the data

[whole patio]

I had 4 criteria to make sure I would find stuff.

• cheap
• pictures from a private setting
• pictures had to include the licence key (dumbdumb)
• preferably a hardware defect I don't care about (no charger)

[woven anvil]

So stay safe, don't install shady or cracked things, use official documentation and download links.

@severe iron
We don't assist with such things here, nor do we discuss activity such as gambling, as we have minors on the server.

[whole patio]

A mixture honestly

[woven anvil]

Well, i guess its good that some people tried to clean their stuff.

[whole patio]

Well.. there was one device with win 11 installed.. but I sweettalked the guy into giving me his credentials to "you know I gotta check the screen for dead pixels", and as soon as I got home I deactivated bitlocker and was able to recover previously deleted files ^^

[severe iron]

Okay

[whole patio]

honestly autopsy/csi linux does not really care whether they are quickformatted or left intact

I had one device that was obviously not formatted.. the guy just added a new user and deleted his own .. that one was easy.. CEO of a photovoltaic company with a password.xlsx on the desktop

got suspicious when I booted it up and it had an itunes link on the desktop

the talk is going to be published, alas not in english

[astral glacier]

Ok bro... Share tha road map please

Maybe "describe" what it is you want for people who have no idea what "chime sauce" is supposed to mean?

Please don't DM me, and yeah, that is a prime example of what you are not going to receive help with on this server @elder tulip

delete all you want, I got a screenshot

[spice dune]

where i can deploy my tg bot for free?

[sacred fractal]

I'm getting too much pishing emails. How do I stop it besides just reporting it. Or is it I need to just open a new email and use an alias.

[crisp star]

In case your email adress has been leaked, it's expected that you land in a list where you get spamed.

Not much you can do. Except creating a new email.

[whole patio]

if your data has been leaked, then you are not taking yourself off of it

[rain knot]

It’s true

[olive dragon]

Anyone suggest me some books for it. Mainly for bug bounty.

[spice dune]

where i can deploy my tg bot for free?

[crisp star]

When I use google, there are quite a lot of websites?

[spice dune]

I understand, it's probably very simple, but if that were the case, I wouldn't be asking about it here.

[crisp star]

Well did you test the top 3 results when you google it?

Seems to pretty much simple what you have to do

[woven anvil]

The ways company manage this is when they have a private domain for email, they have email groups (or distribution groups) for each service, so they can see/know which service leaked that email

[dense sinew]

anyone can help if i have a mac and vm (kali,arch) app, i still can do something?, example like pentest, or lab, hacking, i beginner btw:3 so help mee

[whole patio]

What exactly is the question here?

[dense sinew]

i wnna tke cyber but my dvice's mac browh my frnd "likaa brwh u dont do hack in mac"

[whole patio]

Is this an arm mac? or intel?

[dense sinew]

u should buy thinkpad, ya but here so rare thinkpad

[dense sinew]

aaa intel 2015 brwh

[whole patio]

should be totally fine

[dense sinew]

for long term that's fine browh?

[whole patio]

Well its 10 years old, so I don't know if it will server you long term, but it runs kali, it probably can run a virtual machine.. there's not a lot more you need

aaaa aight i see...

well thanks fo info maboy:3

[graceful knot]

Good Day everyone! I was wondering if anyone could help me or explain to me how AES-256-CBC encryption works with base64 encoding, I'm doing a challenge and I've been stuck on a specific level for almost 12 hours by now, any help would be greatly appreciated!

[woven anvil]

Have you slept?

[graceful knot]

I slept for 4 hours, I'm on the verge of tears I swear

[woven anvil]

I find it always helps to sleep on an issue, and come back to it with fresh eyes

[graceful knot]

I've been busy for 30 hours or so trying to complete it

[graceful knot]

it's time limited and I don't really have a choice it's for my future, my head is just not wrapping around this

[whole patio]

Combine thermite with all your storage media, mobile devices and routers

Everything else depends on your personal threat model and risk management

Dont take the snarky answer personal, its just weird to read this on "discord" of all places.

[spiral notch]

Depends what data

[untold bison]

everything but i am brand new to this so i kinda need someone to really show me what to do

[spiral notch]

yes u can

Mac is decent for hacking

[spiral notch]

be more specific smh

we’re not gonna guess what data for you

[spiral notch]

It is very simple

he’s telling you to Google it

[untold bison]

i want everything on my mac to be secure, i don’t know the different types of data, this is new to me

[spiral notch]

too many hosting platforms for ur tg bot

[spiral notch]

SEE

that’s more specific

good answer

and who from?

[untold bison]

✌️😭

[tacit finch]

Guys I got a problem ..I forgot my I cloud logs and now I can't get in ...it says locked to owner ..anybody help😭😭

[spiral notch]

No

Just don’t install malware

update your system always

and do not give your password to anyone else

[whole patio]

What you are looking for falls under the umbrella term of "operational security" (short: OPsec) and is something that needs you to know what you are doing, and how networks, data, services interact. This isnt something to ask how to do, its something you need to learn about

You can start by realizing that everything you say and do on discord gets recorded and logged

[spiral notch]

or maybe he just is trying to stay decently secure from

[tacit finch]

Iso I can't access my iphone?

[spiral notch]

hackers and such

[tacit finch]

It's an xs

[spiral notch]

he didn’t say to stay private and anonymous

[spiral notch]

no

[untold bison]

yes

[spiral notch]

unless that’s the case?

[whole patio]

Thats what I am trying to get at, with threat models and risk management.. "I am new and I don't know" doesn't make a difference here

[spiral notch]

in which again, specify what you’re looking for

we can’t read your thoughts

not yet atleast

[whole patio]

OPsec is often attributed with public information leakage, but its far from everything that falls under the umbrella term.. I would argue it starts with encryption and who manages the certs and keys

heck it may start with your mail address

[spiral notch]

I would argue that there’s no start because the word “operation” can have different meanings

[woven anvil]

Could be a business operation, personal operation, daily operation, single operation

[untold bison]

just tell me where to learn, all i want is security and privacy exclusive to me, the specifics do not matter

[woven anvil]

Networking is huge.

Go with the OSI layers, then TCP Layers, and understand how computers move data

then reduce the amount of data that is moved about you.

[untold bison]

thank you

exactly what i was looking for

[woven anvil]

Cisco's Network Academy would help

But you need like, 1+ years of learning, its not quick

[untold bison]

understood

[spiral notch]

[whole patio]

there are several ways you can try to get an overview.. some hacker congresses have checklists for devices, operating systems have hardening guides, privacy advocates may have a list of services to use instead of others.. this isn't something to look up and follow blindly, this is - as I said - something that you need to understand first.. and think about what your realistic threat model is.. your siblings? Parents? teachers? Organisations? Your school? Your government? other governments? new management? and then weigh which controls you can accept, and which you cannot

[woven anvil]

@untold bison Greatest example of this. ^

Totally "securing all of your data" means not using discord, SMS, whatsapp, any of those things you can't control.

Its more realistic to understand how much data you are putting into each, and find that acceptable level of "I can have conversations about Food Recipes with friends on Discord, but maybe don't want to exchange baby pictures"

Should your workplace know about you? Well probably, if you want to get paid, and have an official record of employment. Should your bank know about you? Sure, if you want to build credit and whatever else banks do.
