Hey
I have a brute force configuration for a website but any time I use the 2-captcha API key they remove all the money in the account

What can I do

[slow edge]

Best advice: Don't do it :)

[novel hatch]

greetings everyone, hope yall doing good? pls i need help on how to install kali linux on window 11, would be very grateful to anyone who offers to help thanks🙏

[slow edge]

Anyways on a serious note, we do not help with such things. Hope you go to #📜・rules and read them properly 😁

[winged adder]

I can help

[slow edge]

You gotta do it through virtual machine platforms like VMWare or VirtualBox or HyperV. Try researching on how to get one of these and install kali on it

[whole patio]

kali.org has the official guides

[novel hatch]

thanks a million

Official kali docs > random you tuber

[valid marsh]

Just out of curiosity, is it better to VM Kali? I personally just took an old laptop and put it on there

[woven anvil]

Not a very important distinction.

I personally find it doesn't make a great home/desktop OS for gaming, but if you are learning linux, then learning on anything is fine.

Kali is just linux with tools pre-installed for cyber security.

[valid marsh]

Yeah that’s kind of what I figured. Been trying to learn Kali for about 2 weeks. Been in IT Help Desk for going on 2 years

[woven anvil]

The true end-goal would be to learn Arch for workstations + ISOs tbh, and Debian/Redhat/SUSE for servers.

With Archiso, you can make your own custom ISO with whatever you want on it. So you can make your own kali, that is tailored to the tools and environment that you want.

[valid marsh]

Do I just image the machine with Archiso and then essentially build my own distro from the ground up? After I learn the tools Kali offers?

[woven anvil]

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archiso
Not even image. Just build it out with configs.

[jaunty wadi]

download virtualbox
download kali linux virtualbox image
add to virtualbox
profit

[raw cipher]

Just wondering what website people use to check links

[sly cedar]

Since it's not smart to dual boot kali (I'm not a 100% sure why, I just hear on a lot of places that it isn't), Could I dual boot with ubuntu, and get the tools I need on ubuntu, and work from there? I CAN'T deal with VM's, when I run kali in VM, first of all it feels like my PC is from 1990, and 2nd when I use it for longer periods of time it starts lagging, and then I have to close everything and restart the VM. So would it be a good idea to use my already existing Ubuntu dual boot, and install kali tools and some other if I need them on it?

I'm going to do TryHackMe, that's why I need kali, and I want to learn cybersec in general

or maybe I'm just wrong and It's okay to dual boot kali

[woven anvil]

I assume you are using virtualbox?

[sly cedar]

was yeah

[woven anvil]

I can smell it's performance issues from a mile away

Thats not "because you were using VMs", its because you were using a Type 2 Hypervisor

[sly cedar]

and I have a really solid PC, that's why it is annoying to me

Which VM would you reccomend I try?

[woven anvil]

if you want performance on VMs on windows, hyper-v is the go-to.

The reason why dual booting isn't recommended is because randomly, windows will see that you are using grub or whatever instead of the Windows Boot Loader, and it will try to overwrite it. This can happen after a few weeks, months, or years. So some people don't see this issue.

When it happens, you are either left in a state where only Windows boots, or nothing boots. Then you have to fix your bootloader, which is annoying.

This can be negated by using 2 disks, unplugging the windows one before you install kali on the dedicated SSD, then plugging windows back in, and using F12 to choose between your OSes.

[sly cedar]

Interesting, wasn't expecting that to be the reason. I always thought kali had worse security than other linux distros, that's kalis is like more 'offence" based, hence the bad defence/security, and that's why it wasn't recommended as a dual boot

Either way I suppose that you still recommend I try hyper-v, regardless

[woven anvil]

Its a tool OS. So there isn't anything special about it as a desktop, which makes it not as nice to use.

[sly cedar]

That I noticed while using it, makes sense

Thanks for the help

[woven anvil]

The tools on it, you can essentially install on most linux distros.

I don't find Ubuntu nice to use either personally. A lot of people like Arch for the flexibility as a Desktop.

[sly cedar]

I mean, I see that there would be benefits to learning to 'set up' those tools yourself.

[sly cedar]

But if I try that, I know that’s a headache waiting to happen 😆

tho at the same time everything in life is, when you don't know how to do it

[woven anvil]

sure. usually it involves "pacman -S <toolname>" or "git clone <url for tool> && make"
Its not very hard to do, which is why you will hear some people call kali overrated (its good at what it is, but its not as important as people think)

[rugged oxide]

I’m conducting a short survey as part of my university research project, and your participation would be greatly appreciated. The survey will only take a few minutes to complete, and your responses will remain anonymous.

Whats bigo?

[sly onyx]

Using wire shark i captured a web traffic like tcp ,udp , http, https etc
I want too decrypt the encrypted data of website like www.example.com so i search how to do it and i got an ans like use sslkey.log for decrypting the https encrypted data
Its working
Now the qst is there is any other way to get a decrypted data of a https website not http
Does anybody have an idea

[brave turtle]

You could try asking a jail broke ai

[lost vapor]

the method for that would be called https downgrading but it's not something common

it's a vulnerability on it's own and it has to happen in the web server logic

if it doesn't let you use http, then it won't use http

[brave turtle]

Is wire shark download the same as nmap threw a linux terminal

[lost vapor]

that question doesn't make sense

i mean yes it is not the same thing

wireshark and nmap are completely different tools

[sly onyx]

@lost vapor even in homelabs its illegal

[brave turtle]

Like would you type sudo apt install wireshark like you would for nmap

[lost vapor]

wdym home labs

if the lab is intended for this attack then it's not illegal

but i cannot teach you the methology

you'll have to pull strings

i just gave you the name of the vulnerability

[sly onyx]

Like iam using my own https website and i want to learn how to decrypt it

[lost vapor]

depending on if it's actually within the package manager's list but technically yes

[sly onyx]

Okey

[sly onyx]

Okey u saying there are many other ways to decrypt

[lost vapor]

you cannot decrypt https content provided by the server unless you have the private key from the server

which at this point you have to have access to the server

[sly onyx]

Yesh

[lost vapor]

but then it makes the whole attack pointless

because you have access to the server

[brave turtle]

Couldnt you do a dos attack

[lost vapor]

these are none sense questions

you're better off sticking to the foundations for now

[sly onyx]

Attacks apart i need to learn the full decrypt process

[lost vapor]

learn networking

[lost vapor]

https://www.comparitech.com/net-admin/decrypt-ssl-with-wireshark/

[sly onyx]

@lost vapor i first use zeek to get more knowledge and detailed log file and trafficking after that only i dealing with wire shark so now i need know decryption fully and encrypted

[lost vapor]

well i linked you an article

good luck

[sly onyx]

Omg 😱 🫡🫡🫡 very thank u bro

[sly onyx]

Can i DM for more knowledge

[lost vapor]

you can just ask over here and whoever sees it will answer in their own time

i don't accept dms for help only
i'm no tech support

[sly onyx]

Okey but thanks for ur help

[lost vapor]

np

[brave turtle]

Also i meant ddos attack, it would make it vulnerable and you could find a weak spot

[lost vapor]

in cybersec there are many types of questions:
ones that just completely indicate someone doesn't know what they are talking about
ones that indicate slight knowledge with a bit of foundation lacking
and ones that indicate a person knows what they're doing and need a bit of a push

right now you're at the first phase

no offense

but my helping wouldn't actually be helping you

[brave turtle]

None taken, but why wouldn't it be helpful to me

[lost vapor]

you clearly lack some fundamentals, hence why jumping from a to z wouldn't help

look into this guide please

#👥・new-member-guide

[brave turtle]

will do

[sly cedar]

How bad is it that arch doesn't have MAC (mandatory access control system). My guess is something that won't affect me at all, and that I can comfortably learn and use Arch, install the needed tools, instead of using Kali

Just asking to confirm with someone who knows what this actually is. Because to me it's pretty much like reading chinese. But like I said, I'm 99% sure it's nothing to be worried about. Because if it was that big of a deal, it wouldn't have been made like that. Also as long as I don't click random links and download random stuff there shouldn't be anything to be worried about

[drowsy venture]

Hello, I am not so well versed in tech and IT and stuff but could anyone elaborate on what a malware is? I am doing some legal research as part of my degree and I came across it in a case.

(a google search would've also sufficed)

[drowsy venture]

Thank you!

[woven anvil]

Any link to what you are references?

[pliant palm]

arch is a bit more personalized sure but kali is ment to just work, so if learning no arch is not better also there are more written how to "kali" than the other way around as a lot of things are standard.

[spiral notch]

you can dual boot everything

don’t use Ubuntu tho

[plain onyx]

Anyway to ethically bypass 2 step verification

[woven anvil]

Doesn't make sense.

[plain onyx]

I lost my google verification number. I want to access one of the important files in my drive.
I've contacted their customer support and no one is willing to help.

[woven anvil]

Then it still wouldn't be ethical.
Google's servers, so trying to bypass google's security to reset an account on google's servers would be unethical.

[plain onyx]

For academic purposes maybe? I need this ASAP
I am out of the country and some files are important to me here

[whole patio]

Apart from dual booting breaking every now and then, if windows decides it does not "play nice with other kids" is also that people quickly develop the habit of using just one of their OSes.. its the one installation method that prevents you from using the other at the same time.. And they have all their "real" stuff on the other OS.

Use a VM, its recommended in the beginning, you have easy access to snapshots, you can use all the other fun stuff (flareVM, forensic operating systems, local vulnerable machines, etc.. ) and you are going to end up using it as a VM later on anyway.
VMs are not slower.. not virtualbox nor vmware.. people who claim that are usually talking about "watching videos" or "playing games" on them.. that is not what they are for..
So getting to know how to use them is part of your learning process.

This isn't chatgpt, where you can try to weasel your way around using wording out of context. If you do not have access to the 2nd authentification token, then this is literally you being an attacker to a 2nd party access, and no one is helping you hack some other account

[strange ridge]

so uh I have a simple question

[jaunty wadi]

https://tryhackme.com

[strange ridge]

if you use a vpn and don’t click on suspicious links pics or gifs you can’t get hacked right?

or download any sketchy files

[jaunty wadi]

correct

most of the time

depends what you consider to be "sketchy"

[strange ridge]

Downloading stuff from any non official website

if

ig*

or random files

[jaunty wadi]

u could download something completely legitimate, but if the people who developed it got compromised, bad actors could push malicious updates

[strange ridge]

yeah true

I’m just wondering like if someone does that he’s well protected

[strange ridge]

and can’t get hacked or

[woven anvil]

You could download steam, download a game on steam, and be infected.

[strange ridge]

yeah I get what you mean

[woven anvil]

So, its not enough to just "only download random .exe from official sources"

[strange ridge]

yeah I know I’ll be careful 🙃

any other tips to protect myself online or

[woven anvil]

Linux makes it easier by not working that way, and instead just having a built in repository of where to officially download the software.

[woven anvil]

Learn and understand computers and networking. Knowledge is the best defense.

[strange ridge]

I have basic knowledge I’m here to learn more on how to protect myself

Also any recommendations for a good free vpn on App Store other than proton

all I know is I should use a vpn and don’t click on random stuff if there’s anything more that I should be aware of let me know please

also thanks for the help jeevis and malcat

[rare escarp]

Thanks for replying! But yes, just risks that this sector faces

[spiral notch]

many

way too many

weak passwords, phishing, non updated servers

and vulnerabilities like these

bad access control

wrong permission set up

social engineering those who are vulnerable, as, well, the humans are the most vulnerable part

just as examples

[woven anvil]

Why are you so certain of this?

[rare escarp]

Haha 😂 yeah that’s a lot.. I gotta do more research, thanks for taking the time

[spiral notch]

ofc! Feel free to ask if you need any more specifics

or examples

[strange ridge]

Idk that’s what all the people say

[woven anvil]

Ok, think of it like this.

You have a company, who's job it is to run wires to people's houses, and connect them to the greater internet.

Because they have so much physical access, and act like an electrical/gas/water hookup to your house, it is regulated what they are allowed to do there.

Those regulations may or may not fit with what you would like to do in your daily operations. Typically, if you are doing ethical stuff, then a VPN isn't really required, and could be detrimental.

Now, compare that to a random company in a random country who acts as a VPN Service Provider. Like your Nord, Proton, whatever. They can choose to store/copy/process/sell/do whatever they want. They are only as good as their word. Some of their words have been found to be true to their claims (Proton + Mullvad seem to be pretty good), but at the end of the day, 99% of free VPN Service Providers, aren't making an application, buying/renting servers around the world, paying for thousands of dollars in infrastructure, just for goodwill.

Are there some tasks that people find they don't trust their ISP with? Sure.
Should some random unregulated company(or dude) be who you trust with this data instead? Probably not!

[strange ridge]

Ohh makes sense

[woven anvil]

Home IPs are dynamic, so you can usually just reboot your modem/router, and you have a new IP.

If there was a reason you wanted to hide your IP, then you could.

But if you use a VPN, and then log into facebook, then facebook is still collecting the same data about you, they just also know you are using a VPN now.

[strange ridge]

So basically your point is my data is always being collected no matter if I use a vpn or not

[woven anvil]

If you give these companies your data, then they will have them, regardless of VPN or not.

If you choose not to use facebook, then it won't collect your data.

Not anymore at least (Look up Facebook's Project Ghostbusters)

[strange ridge]

but doesn’t a vpn help you to stop trackers from identifying you like if you use a encrypted dns with a vpn or

[woven anvil]

Its more complex than that. A profile is built from a person based off a lot of things, like the fingerprinting of their web browser, persistent cookies stored on their machine, known accounts they are logged into, stuff like that

if you only change 1 of those things, they just add to the profile "and sometimes uses a VPN"

But if you want to learn about this stuff, DNS is actually a perfect example of something you could try to secure, and you will get most of it without any VPN.

[strange ridge]

Can tracking be stopped from these websites or

[strange ridge]

all I know about dns is that for example if a ad plays it gets sent to that dns server instead of your device

I use adguard dns

[woven anvil]

You have 1 device that is between you and the internet, that could control it network-wide if you fully understood how to use it.

[strange ridge]

so your saying I should configure my router

idk I barely understand tech stuff tbh but this is interesting

[woven anvil]

Yes. Or maybe not the router you have now, because it may or may not be configurable. But learning about more advanced routers, with the goal of being strong enough where you can have a properly configured router as your main router, that will automatically do encrypted DNS(blocking all other DNS queries), Automatically blocking malicious/tracking IPs based off public lists, and whatever more you wanted to learn/play around with.

You could even self-host a VPN, so when you are outside of your house, all of your data gets tunneled to your house with encryption before it goes out to the internet

Allowing you to access stuff inside your house

[rugged oxide]

like wise

[spiral notch]

well wdym evidence

your question is very broad

suspicious activity on websites or networks is a sign of xss or bac

weak passwords is well.. they just take over that account

[chilly merlin]

I'll just add to what Vivien said there are cryptographic failures like weak encryption for payments then there is data integrity failures where someone could enable malware in the course download etc but yeah mostly what she said

[maiden steppe]

Hey y'all, I'm new to all these.
I have a windows 7 OS, can't do most shit with it. What OS do y'all suggest I install instead?

[jaunty wadi]

windows 10 or 11

[chilly merlin]

What are the specs of ur pc

[rare escarp]

Very vague apologies, but thank you @spiral notch @chilly merlin leading me in the right direction

[chilly merlin]

It's mostly her but yeah no problem

Intel 3.40 GHz, RAM 8 GB, 64 -bit

[spiral notch]

https://tenor.com/view/bennett-ベネット-gif-21603198

[chilly merlin]

Okay get windows 11

[maiden steppe]

I read on twitter few months back that Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC is good. Thoughts?

[jaunty wadi]

yh

[maiden steppe]

So instead of windows 11 I should install this one huh

[jaunty wadi]

u should just install windows 10

then debloat it

[maiden steppe]

Ah I see, cool. Thanks

[chilly merlin]

It's good yeah give it a go

[jaunty wadi]

i wouldnt use LTSC tho

cuz apparently some apps check for specific windows versioning

and if they see LTSC they wont install

[chilly merlin]

I haven't used it like that but others have

[jaunty wadi]

so i would just stick with win10 home or something

[chilly merlin]

A learning experience for him maybe

Or her

[maiden steppe]

Okok maybe windows 11 then

[chilly merlin]

Look up how to debloat win 11

And then download win 11

Ur setup is a bit old so you'll need the snappier response times

[maiden steppe]

I haven't used a computer for yrs now idk what even is debloat but I'll check it out aite

[chilly merlin]

It means getting rid of useless apps so they don't take up CPU usage

Inshort

But yeah

I'll head off so I'll reply when I can

Good night

[maiden steppe]

Gn!

[spiral notch]

arch

!

[spiral notch]

oh

yeah no win10

[maiden steppe]

Btw I'd be googling where to download windows 11 but it'll be of great help if y'all could just give me some sites.

[woven anvil]

https://www.microsoft.com has a download link

[solemn cosmos]

hello i'm new here i need help

[maiden steppe]

It's just free to download OS from there? Woah cool aite

[woven anvil]

Yes, microsoft allows both a tool that writes an ISO for you, as well as the ISO itself to be downloaded.

Its the only legal way to obtain it(through a microsoft site), as redistribution of their software is against their licensing.

[maiden steppe]

One more thing, should I upgrade my windows 7 OS to windows 10 first and then upgrade the new installed Windows 10 to 11, or should I just clean install of windows 11?

[jaunty wadi]

This must be annoying for y'all but I wanted to ask, I would lose all my music on my hard drive while installing a new OS so ig I'd have to get myself a seperate hard drive first and copy all my music there, right? There's no other way around it

[jaunty wadi]

yes

or upload to cloud

[maiden steppe]

Ah net's pretty slow over here so that's not a possibility.
I'd have to buy myself a hard drive now then

[meager knot]

is there a way to build a forum section without having it be server side?

i know it has nothing to do with hacking... I"M JUST WONDERING

[jaunty wadi]

no not really, short answer

[meager knot]

so just IFRAME it then?

[jaunty wadi]

its possible yeha

[meager knot]

i already have IFRAMED it. it looks like the forum is apart of the website.

[jaunty wadi]

i'm just trying to build a product that's user friendly.

i thought about switching platforms but heh.

[whole patio]

it has a guide, but ultimately its broken right now

if you follow the guide with powerup it will break the functionality of templates

[tight tide]

So cannot update it

Powerup is also not working anymore

[whole patio]

you can safely use apt update && apt upgrade though that will not upgrade everything, and leads to some pgp keys becoming outdated

[tight tide]

Yes

[whole patio]

the maintainers say they are not coming around to fixing it right now, and much rather it will be a new version at some point in time

[tight tide]

Any alternate for csi right now ?

[whole patio]

alternative to do.. what

[tight tide]

Oh

[tight tide]

Any other distro

[whole patio]

I did not have difficulty understanding what "alternative" means.. but alternative to "what exactly"? Which functionality you used with csi linux specifically

autopsy for instance depends on an ancient lib, that you wont find in current ubuntu

[tight tide]

Like for osint purpose recently I signed up for a course in Udemy and trying to learn osint

[tight tide]

Some of them tools are not working

[whole patio]

then I don't know what will be covered in that course you bought

[tight tide]

Oh anyway thanks for the info

Does buscador work instead of csi

[whole patio]

never heard of it

[tight tide]

Oh thanks man for the info

[whole patio]

buscador seems to be abandoned for 5-6 years now

I know there was one other, but it was either paid, or similarly broken for the free version

just use whatever your course material is suggesting

[tight tide]

He said to use csi but some tools aren't working anymore

[whole patio]

they do if you do not update

[tight tide]

And suggested buscador

[whole patio]

though I have not tried each and every one of them

[tight tide]

Ohh then I will try with the 0 update snapshot

[whole patio]

csi linux has its own discord server btw.. although it is pretty dead

[tight tide]

Can I use Kali instead

[whole patio]

once again, I do not know what the course material covers, but generally you can install almost any tool in almost any linux

[tight tide]

I mean Kali is preloaded with most of them that's why I thought of using it

[whole patio]

I use csi linux mostly for their working autopsy integration, and you are going to have a hard time getting the current version working on modern distros

[whole patio]

Well then my useless answer is "Yes you can, unless you can't"

often those video courses are made with a specific version of a distro, and then never touched again. It "might" be your best bet to stay with csi linux für the most part, and maybe build you own kali installation side by side

or whatever flavor of linux distro you prefer

tracelabs has an osint distro too, now that I come to think of it, have not tried that in years though

that one is essentially built on kali

[tight tide]

I will try to use Kali because I don't know how to build own installation and also use the vanilla csi if anything works

[whole patio]

https://www.tracelabs.org/initiatives/osint-vm

[tight tide]

I checked and will try this if it works all good

[whole patio]

I assume they focus on finding people.. I know they have regular "hackathons" about missing person cases

[tight tide]

This distro consists of only osint tools ?

[whole patio]

I have not touched it in years, for me it seems its mostly kali tbh

but, they too have their own discord server, if you want to get a more recent opinion

[tight tide]

Till now what I've learned is bunch of websites which will find info of the person using their mails or name of something related to them few paid one's and few tools like spiderfoot, notepad++, and red cherry I think my question is an i even in right path because I'm half way throught the course

Hello everyone, Im making an SSH server in Kali for remote access, its the first time I am doing this so I don't know all the details so is there anything you would add to this:

Phase 1 – Planning & Scope Definition
Determine access model
Decide on authentication strategy
List devices that will connect
plan network topology

Phase 2 – Environment Preparation
Update Kali
Create a non-root administrative user
Verify login and sudo access
Configure ufw

Phase 3 – SSH Server Configuration
Install OpenSSH server
Verify daemon is active
Configure /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Restart service

Phase 4 – Security Hardening
Generate and install SSH keys
Disable password authentication
install and configure Fail2Ban
Change SSH port

Hello everyone! I just want your advice because im not knowledgeable im computers. So, we have an internet at home which is located upstairs and It seems so slow when I am using it in my room downstairs. Yesterday, I have applied for an internet provider exclusively for my use. How can I make sure that no one can access my connection or basically I want my own privacy is there an entry to do that? Or should I buy something that does that job to avoid unnecessary connections from other scammers and this should apply on my laptop and iphone.
I would appreciate all your inputs. Thanks alot, and god bless!

[chilly merlin]

Hold on

You are getting a new isp

And u want only your device connected to it

[chilly merlin]

Mabye, just mabye just mabyeeeeee call the police?

[woven anvil]

99% of the time, if you get your own ISP connection, you get your own router, and its all to you. Its unlikely anyone would be trying to get into the network by local means.

I will also say you don't need a new ISP for this, as it is doable with either wireless repeaters(mesh) or with some cat5e or higher in the walls + some APs, but does require someone knowing how to set it up, and fix it if there are issues.

How scammers usually get you, is by being in contact with you, and asking you to download/run a file or script. If anyone tried to call you, and get you to use your computer or phone apps, then they are probably trying to scam you. Theres cool youtube videos that show how these things happen, and what the entire scamming operation involves.

[limpid shoal]

Sorry what does isp mean?

[limpid shoal]

Hahah can’t

I appreciate everything your advising me

i saw on linkedin about the race to certification and i am considering doing it for the OCI foundations

[spiral notch]

because any decent website does it

[sly cedar]

I'm really debating whether I should just install kali in VM or dual boot an Arch, and then install all the tools on Arch, because I am thinking about ditching windows, maybe just leaving it on a dual boot in case I need some apps that are not on linux or want to play some spesific games, also not on linux 🤔

[woven anvil]

Tbh, what got me using it more was arch/linux on laptop, windows on desktop until windows just pissed me off enough where i went "you know what, my laptop does most things fine"

[sly cedar]

valid

[woven anvil]

then i kept 1 windows SSD for those "games that didn't run on linux", and booting to it was such a pain, i just formatted it, and used it for more game storage for linux

[sly cedar]

Ah, I'll most likely just dual boot with arch, and get tools on it. If that goes poorly, meaning having tons of troubles setting everything up, I might end up doing a VM

we'll see

[south basin]

I heard that steam runs the windows only games on a vm if you are on linux so i don’t think you need windows

Only on the competitive ones maybe

[woven anvil]

incorrect.

It uses a proton(wine) compatibility layer to translate the windows/directX calls into something linux can understand

It doesn't virtualize any hardware

[south basin]

Oh ok, thanks for the clarification

[whole patio]

#👥・new-member-guide

[south basin]

Just heard it from a friend and took it as granted

[woven anvil]

I used to run Windows in a VM with GPU passthrough, and it does work, but there are anti-cheat that will still attempt to detect it and block you if you are using a VM. We won't talk about bypassing that as per the #📜・rules, but just for "if you wanted to keep windows for convenience for most games", the setup works fine, you just need 2 video outputs (so if you have, CPU's iGPU + dGPU) connected to 2 monitors(each one will be 1 OS), and then a software so you can use the mouse + keyboard between computers over the network.

[south basin]

Wait so if I understand correctly I can run an os on the gpu on one monitor or are you referring to dual boot

I do have 2 monitors one connected to the gpu and the other to the motherboard with 2 separate hdd

[whole patio]

You are running one OS at a time.
This might include a virtual machine with its own OS, and its known limitations

[woven anvil]

You can run Linux on the main machine.
Then make a VM, that is given access to 4 CPU cores, that is given direct access to the GPU
Install Windows on the VM.

So not dual boot, just using VMs in a fancy way

but again, it doesn't bypass anticheat for a lot of them

[south basin]

Ohh, nice

[woven anvil]

so you still have your limitations

it can also sometimes be annoying to set up

[south basin]

Yes some anti cheat are running non stop in your core system. I don’t rlly trust them since they have access to everything on my machine

Like the riot one

For league of legends

[south basin]

My university had ubuntu for learning. My uncle a java engineer recommended me ubuntu and my friend said mint is best for starting. Saw that mint is ubuntu based and that everyone told me to use ubuntu so I went for mint. But after the description I think I would like arch too. I like to personalize my stuff

[woven anvil]

yeah, ubuntu-based stuff has been pushed since mid-2000s

and tbf, it wasn't as bad back then

[south basin]

But can I run servers as good on arch? I was planning on developing a web app

[sly cedar]

technically you can personalize any distro (If I'm not mistaken)

[woven anvil]

I personally do not like Arch for servers.

The way Arch updates is not suitable for receiving security updates without rebooting for lengths of time.

[south basin]

So I should stick with mint for now

[woven anvil]

Debian without a GUI for a server

in a VM preferably

or one of the redhats if you wanted to learn that

[whole patio]

I never understood the arch obsession

[south basin]

I'm mixed on what to do. I would have liked to learn more about sys admin. But there are no jobs where im from cuz of AI. So i forced myself an inovative idea to make a company and for that I need a web app

[woven anvil]

I prefer Arch over something *buntu based if you are adding third party repositories to fill out your environment, because the AUR is a lot cleaner than doing that.

[whole patio]

Tried ubuntu recently and was not convinced

on laptop/desktop I use fedora and kali, currently

[south basin]

I like mint ui, mostly cuz I used windows a lot i think. But much more clean than windows

[woven anvil]

Fedora is suppose to be really good

[spiral notch]

why

[woven anvil]

I never say anything about it, because i've only had bad experiences with it

[spiral notch]

super lightweight and user friendly

[spiral notch]

ui is just kde plasma

you can get the exact same anywhere else

[south basin]

Do you guys think is it worth for me to learn more sys admin related job things? Or too late for this job

Can't find anything like this where im from

[woven anvil]

Arch isn't seen a lot in businesses, and redhat or ubuntu/debian is more likely to be seen (or SUSE if EU)

[rain knot]

It’s going to underpin whatever else you do, to some degree

[woven anvil]

But, Arch is the easiest to learn if you are truly trying to learn about the OS, because it will walk you through doing everything if you follow the wiki enough.

Then you can take the knowledge, and apply it, and see how its different on alma/rocky linux

[south basin]

It's a hard time for me to choose what road to take. I dont like data engineering and unfortunetly this is the trend now

[woven anvil]

Just start learning, and see what you enjoy the most

[south basin]

I loved game dev. But too saturated

I made my own game engine in java for bachelor degree. But it was for 2D games. Sometimes I dislike that I did this since it didn’t benefit me at all in this industry. Just OOP

But I liked doing it

If only I was born a couple of year earlier to have a career before ai🤣

[rain knot]

I need direction and want a role in an area of IT/cybersecurity.

hi vivien 😃

[spiral notch]

haiii

[chilly merlin]

if ppl do it then its not gonna be free in the very least

[warm iron]

That's fine. I have money

But no I'm gonna use something else

The impression I got was that this was a community. I do understand that there are resources here and I have skills but I'm just adding to them

I'll get there and thanks for the answer to my question.

I'm here for the theory. I'm already doing things but I'm here for the missing pieces. That's all. I'm not a beginner.

I'll start by watching the video I was shown by a user here and get my certs I have 3 of 6. Once I have them all, I'll gladly help people. Give me 3 months.

Last thing is: I'm willing to pay for the good stuff. I know that nothing is free, especially if I'm talking to someone who is paying for college like I am.

[slow edge]

You don’t need certs to help
People 🫡 your skills are what matters!
I still appreciate your efforts in collecting certs, they are needed! All the best buddy

[warm iron]

Thanks. I am serious and willing to put in the work needed.

[maiden matrix]

Hey, can someone help me find the place u find in the beginning that teaches about the different stuff? like hacking, networking,n all.

Hey guys can some teach me me how trade on binance

[spiral notch]

wrong server for this

[potent prairie]

OK where do I go

[spiral notch]

any trading server?

this is a cybersecurity and ethical hacking

community

[potent prairie]

OK thank you

[lime cobalt]

Not hacking I think

[spiral notch]

it’s illegal/unethical

[south basin]

Idk if it violates the rules but I wanted to ask if you guys know any safe ad blocker for browser. If it's opensource even better. I know some of them are aspyware and youtube hits me with 3 min unskipable ads

[grave kraken]

How can I boost my tiktok followers

[lost vapor]

By making engaging content that isn't ai slop

[sturdy horizon]

Hi am new here

Can someone tell me the best way to learn how to hack

[spare geode]

Actually learning instead of begging people to teach you,||(like some people do)|| efficient on time too. Anyway you can find some neat stuff in #👥・new-member-guide and #💕・free-resources

[sturdy horizon]

Ok thanks

[spiral notch]

it probably is against TOS of many companies but we hate ads so F it

ublock origin is considered superior

it has a learning curve

(yes using an blocker sometimes is complicated)

it’s open source

offers WAY too much customization

Like you could figure out what’s going on by looking around it

But it’s also insanely good for making configs to block yt ads

or other websites that check whether u have an ad blocker by not displaying certain elements to not trigger the checker

[south basin]

Thank you so much

Would networkchucks CCNA free course on youtube be a good resource to study if my goal is just the Network+ cert in terms of networking? Should I only watch part? None? Thanks in advance.

[unborn zodiac]

Hey everyone...I have a ctf that's a bit challenging though it's on cryptography...anyone willing to help please

[sly onyx]

Does anyone know are the documentation website of assymetric and symmetric key and also like public key, private key all those because iam in encryption and decryption learning process

[torn wedge]

Well what are you trying to learn the basics? Or how is it actually done or a bit of everything?

[spiral notch]

ccna material is way too overkill for net+

imo if you spend enough time around computers you don’t even need to learn for it

I believe there’s a prof messer course for it that people love to follow

I don’t need any prep for it so can’t really vouch for materials much

[chilly merlin]

Professor messer is great

I can vouch

[dense skiff]

Gotcha. I'm only 5 episodes in so I've mostly gone over the basics anyways so I can just swap courses and probably retain some value.

Appreciate the response

[chilly merlin]

I mean there's geeksforgeeks

[flint osprey]

Idk how I know how to do somethings that we’re never taught to me (like playing piano) I wasn’t trying to be facetious I just don’t know how else to describe it and want help from someone who was once in my shoes

[chilly merlin]

guys

need some advice

im going through some cybersecurity topics , i just finished a linux+ course and the next part of the bigger course goes into networks specifically for security , the tutor showed us the over the wire website to practice on , so my question is which chapter/stage is enough for me to start going into the network part i guess overthewire helps you practice linux commands specifically for wargames ,ctf , so do i stop with bandit before going into networks or what do you guys think

im an overthinker

[chilly merlin]

bandit is like the noobest noob part of overthewire they mention at the start "The Bandit wargame is aimed at absolute beginners. It will teach the basics needed to be able to play other wargames."

[chilly merlin]

I want to get into red teaming.

The course still has about 40 hours of web bug bounty hunting after the networks section

i just dont know if it makes sense , to get into red teaming right away i doubt my first job will be in that , mabye sysadmin first, but so far it all is comprehensible

[violet vortex]

Ik

[crisp star]

How much does the CRTO exam cost for you?
https://training.zeropointsecurity.co.uk/courses/red-team-ops

[chilly merlin]

It says here 365 dollars

is this like a good course

[crisp star]

CRTO is one of the few recognized red team cert

And you can play with Cobalt Strike

[chilly merlin]

Interesting

ill check it out thank you

[torn grotto]

Hello, is anyonw familiar here with the Punch Shop? is it legit or is it just a scam website?

[jaunty wadi]

nobody here would have heard of that since any shop can be called the punch shop

elaborate

perhaps provide sources

[torn grotto]

i just dont want to get ban from here lol if i share the link

https://punch.atshop.io/

[crisp star]

Already looks like a scam and it's illegal anyway

[jaunty wadi]

yh thats a scam

[crisp star]

Also you better stay far away from that stuff

[torn grotto]

thanks. i just saw this video on IG. so i thought i could just ask

[jaunty wadi]

yeah nah thats

Is it better to set up DNS straight to my dns server on each device or reroute my router? I’m setting up an environment with PfSense and pi-hole

[topaz wave]

Makes it easier to reroute your router, that way all DHCP devices would automatically get the new DNS settings

[opaque elm]

Hey guys question

which coursera course is the best for pentesting?

[jaunty wadi]

IBM — Penetration Testing, Threat Hunting, and Cryptography

or
Packt — The Complete Ethical Hacking Bootcamp / Specialization

[opaque elm]

why so?

I already got my google cybersecurity certificate

[jaunty wadi]

good if u want broader cybersecurity foundation

then go with Packt's one

good if u want intensive, tool focused bootcamp

[opaque elm]

so since I already got my google cybersecurity certificate go with Packt? @jaunty wadi

[jaunty wadi]

yes

[opaque elm]

that gives me hands on practice with pentesting?

[jaunty wadi]

yes

though courses through hackthebox and tryhackme also do this

overall, just consume knowledge

first do packt, then perhaps move into a tryhackme learning path, then complete that, and then move into hackthebox course

[opaque elm]

what about a portfolio can I get a portfolio with packt

[jaunty wadi]

u can showcase your skills yes ofc

not a portfolio

[opaque elm]

?

[jaunty wadi]

no course will give u a portfolio you;'d have to make that yourself

[opaque elm]

through the hands on labs I do can I use that for a portfolio @jaunty wadi

[jaunty wadi]

yes ofc

you'd have to make it yourself tho

[opaque elm]

why not IBM?

[opaque elm]

yes I know

[jaunty wadi]

"I already got my google cybersecurity certificate"

as you said

[opaque elm]

wont this teach me pentesting?

[jaunty wadi]

though again, if you want to improve on your google cybersec cert

then maybe also take the IBM course

[jaunty wadi]

it will teach you a broad range of cybersecurity topics overall

[opaque elm]

its more so I can get a job or start a business with this

yeah maybe its best I do packt

[jaunty wadi]

then you should do the IBM one to add on as another cert

then also do the packt one

[opaque elm]

Packt — The Complete Ethical Hacking Bootcamp / Specialization
im going to do this first

[jaunty wadi]

the more certs/knowledge you consume, the better

cool

gl

[opaque elm]

wait the packt is short its a short course

@jaunty wadi

[jaunty wadi]

2 month course, if you dedicate about 10 hours per week

consists of 4 courses overall

designed overall to be about 2 weeks per 2 courses

[opaque elm]

it says 3 modules?

[jaunty wadi]

no

its 4 course series

https://www.coursera.org/specializations/packt-the-complete-ethical-hacking-course?utm_source=chatgpt.com

"2 months to complete
at 10 hours a week"

[opaque elm]

wait am I looking at the wrong one

check your dms @jaunty wadi

I see I was looking at the wrong one

Hi

hi

so like

[narrow plaza]

Hi

How can i get my infinix note 20 to work after forgetting the password and finger print not working

[hardy pulsar]

I would like some advice if you were a complete beginner in coding what would u do to improve as much as u can?

[jaunty wadi]

write ur own code

[pliant matrix]

I was wonder if anyone could help me. I am not a hacker ,know nothing about coding. I joined something. And it goes through crypto or whatever...I paid $80 to the address of Bitcoin. Only a curtain amount....but it took all my Bitcoin. My trust wallet said I sent it to a different address .... All this is going on through telegram. They messaged me. I have all the messages still . From the person I talk with.

[jaunty wadi]

not possible to be recovered

[pliant matrix]

I can explain more once I get to see if you can help me

Will you be able to tell me if the person is a scammer or not?

[jaunty wadi]

most likely a scammer

[pliant matrix]

Man this sucks

Okay

[hardy pulsar]

Well yes but its also like the logic behind some of these that im struggling with

[jaunty wadi]

like what

[hardy pulsar]

Like lets say u want the code to do something specific but I struggle with trying to implement it since im trying to understand the logic behind it

[jaunty wadi]

then you should take some logic classes

and or research resources regarding programming logic

[hardy pulsar]

Ok ty

[gusty sentinel]

100% scammer. I had the same thing happen but they used a dating app 💀

[sly cedar]

finish it in 7 days 💪

[pliant matrix]

@gusty sentinel yea there are using YouTube...for every channel I subscribe to is $3 . Then a mission comes up. Where they have curtain amount you put in, and get more back. They have a lot in the telegram chatroom. Where they post showing of profit.

[whole patio]

You are going to be contacted now by people on this server, who are looking to scam you again, by the way

[faint laurel]

That’s not an easy task haha

[sly cedar]

I know I know, just joking

[bitter surge]

Y'all do y'all recommend following the AI roadmap generated by roadmap. Sh?

[slow edge]

It is a nice place, I never followed the roadmap of it but when I see it, I can say yes it is legit! If you feel comfortable with it then why not!
I am not an AI person, but ya as far as my knowledge in AI goes and the roadmap, it is good to go with

[bitter surge]

Thanks man 🙏

[quartz blaze]

Hi everyone so i installed kali linux on my windows and it doesn't show wlan when i type command iwconfig,it just shows ethernet ,how to get wifi lan and yes i tried YouTube tutorials but all of them after trying just showed the Bluetooth icon on linu

[whole patio]

how did you install kali

is it inside a virtual machine?

[quartz blaze]

Noop

I am using plasma i think

[whole patio]

so no vmware.. virtualbox.. qemu....wsl....

[quartz blaze]

And installed from m store probably shouldn't

Wsl i think yes

[whole patio]

wsl will not show you wifi. It is an abstraction layer between a virtual operating system (kali) and the host operating system (windows). Thekali VM runs on virtual hardware, not actual hardware.
Usually there is a workaround when you are using an usb wifi adapter, but WSL does not use those either

[quartz blaze]

Oh ok so should i go for adapter then

But there would be a way

Or should i install again by booting

[whole patio]

the truth of the matter is that you do not need wifi, the host gives network connection to the VM already. All you are missing out on is "wifi hacking", which borders on a youtube scam anyway .. those videos are staged to work. Even a mediocre password will stop you right in your tracks

[quartz blaze]

Oh so what should i do i wana learn something new

[quartz blaze]

By the way thanks for helping out

[brave turtle]

Hey um any one use tryhackme.com

[whole patio]

entirely up to you - there is #👥・new-member-guide and #💕・free-resources you can check out

[quartz blaze]

Ok i will check them out thanks

[brave turtle]

I got a problem with it, it says the answer is HTML_INJ3CTION but when i type it in the answer spot it say my answer may not be english please review and try again

[whole patio]

THM has its own discord server, maybe check with them there

[pastel igloo]

Hi guys please I need help seriously

[brave turtle]

Will do

[brave turtle]

Watcha need

[pastel igloo]

So I would like to know if anyone knows a person, website or place I could go to ,to learn trading
Also especially someone who is a guru who I can copy trading from please

[whole patio]

You are on the wrong server for that - and no, that does not mean I am going to tell you a different server to go to

[pastel igloo]

Why tho ? Does it break the rules

[whole patio]

Just not what the server is for

[pastel igloo]

But why can't you help if you know what server I can get help from

[whole patio]

Not what I said

go ask reddit, google or whatever

[brave turtle]

Just search it up on google im sure you could find a discord server that way

What eris said basicly

[vast thorn]

What is the easiest way to access a virtual machine sandbox

[dense skiff]

Anybody have good practices when it comes to note taking? Im currently using google docs as that's just what was easiest and I try to seperate core topics into different documents for easier access and finding things, but it's kind of getting out of hand having 10+ documents. (Thanks in advance!)

[whole patio]

There are dedicated note-keeping software solutions.. joplin.. obsidian.. if you look for alternatives to those, you are going to find several others

[elder shell]

Tbf, I use onenote for it’s simplicity

[whole patio]

I use joplin cause its available for all operating systems, and sync it via webdav

[dense skiff]

I see thanks a bunch I'll check some of those out

[elder shell]

It really doesn’t matter which 1 you use, as long as you like it and it’s easy for you

[whole patio]

Some offer more versatility in their use, but I especially like that I can make collaborations with other people simply by having them install joplin and giving them credentials to a nextcloud server.. so we can share note, work together on text, and I can remove them from the team again

[cobalt terrace]

Need some advice/help
I wanna learn hacking so bad and I got close to nothing knowledge of it
Where should I start from ?

[elder shell]

Start of with Linux fundamentals and creating a vm, learn about file permissions, sudo, and basic ls and find commands

[whole patio]

#👥・new-member-guide #💕・free-resources

[cobalt terrace]

Thanks man

[elder shell]

No problem, if u need anything else, just pop me a dm or refer to the new member guide that eris gave you 🙂

[brave turtle]

You could also try- tryhackme

[cobalt terrace]

In ya dm

[dense skiff]

Is it simple to set up? Or is it something I'd have to look into a bit.

Kinda just looking for a download/open and use kinda thing atm

[whole patio]

joplin itself is simple to set up. Synching it depends on what you want to use - I use my own nextcloud which is not that trivial to set up and maintain, but joplin has about a dozen possible sync-options..

[cobalt terrace]

Oh I think I try ,try-hackme before
But I’ll look into it now

[dense skiff]

Gotcha thanks again

[elder shell]

Go into tryhackme and do the Linux fundamentals, get used to using Linux first, you can’t really do much with an os if you don’t know how to use it

[indigo sage]

Anyone know how to card?

[brave turtle]

Card?

As in?
