AI auto-responses, entry level jobs are hard to get even with a degree (multiple certs are expected even from juniors), multiple years of experience are usually required, also, cybersec is seen as a "job that makes a lot of money", so every computer science student wants to get into it without actually having any understanding of cyber attacks, threat actors, threat intelligence, malware itself, etc etc

employers currently in cyber are currently looking for people who can join their team and instantly know what they are doing, rather than putting the effort and money into a junior engineer to train them up to their standards

[fallow helm]

need help with my memory intergrity it dont pop up for me to enable it and i tried youtube also factory reset my pc

[gray mesa]

Hi., my name is Victor and then, I want to start a small project by myself in c language. But I don't know how to start

[rare goblet]

Check if drivers are blocking Memory Integrity. Even if the toggle is missing, Windows often hides it due to bad drivers.

[wet gate]

learn how to write code in C

[rare goblet]

To write and run C programs, you need: a compiler
Windows → install MinGW-w64 or TDM-GCC
Linux → GCC is already included (or install with sudo apt install build-essential)
Mac → install Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install)

[fallow helm]

how do i check that ?? and thank you for your help btw

[rare goblet]

1. Press Start → type “Windows Security” → open it
2. Go to Device Security
3. Click Core Isolation details
4. See if it says:
   Incompatible drivers detected
   A driver cannot be loaded…
   Or shows a list of driver files (ex: oem12.inf)

[hoary oasis]

What tools help remove paywalls in kali? Sorry to bother yall

[fallow helm]

i wish i can put in a screen shot like its not there

[wet gate]

elaborate

[hoary oasis]

@wet gate trying to read an article but the paywall is really crazy and outta line

[gray mesa]

I have a MacBook laptop

[hoary oasis]

Thanks for the help, i know its crazy but 80$ to read an article is stupid that ill never visit the site again for

[wet gate]

https://12ft.io

[hoary oasis]

@wet gate tried that but its a no-go

[timid cape]

right, the problems are mainly circling around:

1. hiring requirements (degree, certifications, years of experience..)
2. oversaturated with applicants
3. lack of sufficient knowledge and skillset

but imo, a person is likely to find a job if they could demonstrate their expertise (through a portfolio and few certs), market their name (reach out to hiring managers, attend conferences..), and target a specific entry-level role (SOC L1 for example) and avoid the mid to senior roles (like engineering) then that would increase their chances among the masses, whose resume go through ATS and they only got a computer science degree which isn't that relevant to cybersec (unless the person is interested in appsec or cryptography then idk)

there are other things that a person can do like writing blogs, making cyber-related content, engaging in forums/communities.. which shows their level of commitment and understanding of their own thing

i would also agree that people who are hiring, do not necessarily make the best job postings

so to put things into perspective, a candidate who can do the job and prove that to the right people, there's a good chance they'll get called for an interview

more importantly, if the candidate is just there for the money, then that's a big mistake, because that "money" comes with bearing the responsibility of data breaches, compliance failure, business disruption.. etc

im pretty sure the field isn't difficult because of hiring requirements or oversaturation, but the lack of a long-term commitment and consistency (and also the self-directed mentality of owning the risks and understanding the business context and impacts), things that are never taught to a person during their computer science program

let me know if I've mistaken on something, i would appreciate your feedback

[wet gate]

there are many alternatives, search google

[wet gate]

christ

[hoary oasis]

@wet gate did that already wouldnt be asking here if i found results

[wet gate]

try wayback machine

[hoary oasis]

@wet gate wayback machine is a no go either , the article is quite relevant

[wet gate]

if its relevant then it should usually be logged there

in a non paywalled state

perhaps sharing the article will help

[hoary oasis]

Im looking for guidance in Kali with paywall, i see this is going nowhere

Thanks anyways, have a great night yall

[wet gate]

basically everything u said is correct

though saying "a candidate who can do the job and prove that to the right people, there's a good chance they'll get called for an interview" i wouldnt agree with

considering AI auto-responses (or even in some cases, non-reponses) are a thing now

a company might setup an AI that goes through your resume and looks for specific certs, if you dont have 5/7 of the certs that they are looking for, (even if you had 4/7) you would be thrown in the trash

apart from that

everything you said is basically on the money

[wet gate]

kali doesnt have any tools or anything that will bypass a paywall

there is no hacker tool that kali has that will bypass everything u want

[timid cape]

yeah that's what ATS is, a smart approach to find ways to bypass that (through keyword selections from the job posting or all together by reaching out through referrals or direct cold messages) that's where networking (not tcp/ip) comes in, talking directly to people

[timid cape]

so an AI agent is reaching back to candidates after approving their resumes? i didn't know that was a thing

[wet gate]

in some cases, not even reaching back

just not responding overall, just ignoring/denying the application without telling the applicant

[timid cape]

i mean yeah there should be a feedback on that denial but who would waste time letting a thousand resume know why they got rejected

[wet gate]

this is true

unfortunately thats just how it is

Good morning friends I'm back again

[inland glacier]

Thanks 👍
Let's see what I can do.
I do have a laptop and an old computer.
As per your advice, first I will try out their free resources then I will think of a small homelab setup.

I do think learning to break things on my own is better than pre-made scenarios.
Thanks for your advice 👍

I do focus more on red teaming then blue teaming but these jobs are advanced level.
So, first I try to learn all basic concepts then I will pick which path I want to pursue.
Thanks for advice 👍

[buoyant rover]

Hi Jeevis, so I keep experiencing these issues on mobile.

I’m encountering these types of issues through cellular.

[woven anvil]

iOS or android?

If iOS, then the probability that you have malware on it are extremely slim

[buoyant rover]

I have an issue of being hacked and messaged with digitally for years now and I’m soo sick of it. Any ideas how to track down where these malicious attacks are coming from? I keep getting consistent network interruptions while working. All kinds of glitching in certain apps I use and much more. Like formats consistently changing from old version to new versions. Or sometimes my texts will start erasing itself when I just wanted to back space a letter. Apps randomly force closing them selves.

It just seems malicious and I’ve been trying everything to figure out why.

[wet gate]

what phone do you have

iPhone or Android

[buoyant rover]

iPhone

I wish I could share images or even little things like gps redirecting me to tolls and I have the settings set to avoid tolls. It’s consistent little errors like that all the type.

[wet gate]

ur not infected

by any malware

if you think you are, reset the phone to factory settings and you will be fine

but you are definitely not infected with any malware

[buoyant rover]

I’ve done that many times, changed emails, Apple accounts phone numbers. Idk how this type of stuff keeps happening but it’s so persistent and frustrating. It’s consistently interfering with my life and I got ocd so I obsess about it.

[wet gate]

you may be a paranoid schizophrenic

your iPhone is not hacked

at most, it would be your iCloud, in which case you should create a brand new account if you are that worried

[woven anvil]

Chill it with the diagnosis, doctor.

[wet gate]

but your iPhone is not hacked

[woven anvil]

Something to remember is that no software is perfect. A bunch of apps having glitches is semi-normal, depending on what they are.
If you have a screenshot you want to send, you can DM it to me if you want.

[buoyant rover]

I could show you the errors I have screenshots of these errors and consistent issues.

It’s not worried, it’s just annoying running into consistent errors that shouldn’t be happening. I know these errors aren’t normal, it’s very on the malicious side to coincidental.

[wet gate]

it is not malicious

your iPhone is not infected with malware

[buoyant rover]

Well isn’t there such a thing where a hacker can use hidden malware and sabotage your phones calls, keystrokes, etc.

[buoyant rover]

Okay thank you 🙏

[final rampart]

Yoo whats a good thinkpad to buy?

[woven anvil]

Yes, but apple is notorious for forcing your phone to stay up to date, which eliminates the holes malicious actors use to be able to do those things.
Because of how locked-down they are, any newer malicious software that gets developed ends up being really expensive, and out of reach of most common skids(People who maliciously use other people's software + scripts). Usually the targets are of wealthy companies or governments.

[woven anvil]

One that you can afford, look up the differences between the T, W, X and E series, and then look for one with good linux compatibility.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop/Lenovo

[final rampart]

Thank you so much jeevis!

[buoyant rover]

See that’s kind of what I figured. Which is kind of why I’m frustrated and annoyed because I know Apple is secure and then I have this app that is supposed to to use military grade encryption. So I’m just confused.

[wet gate]

not for iPhones, no

they are too locked down, you would never be targeted by something like that

again, your iPhone is not infected with malware

[buoyant rover]

Idk I have really strange things happen to me that are so coincidental you’d probably be like wth.

[wet gate]

im going to sleep, your iPhone is not infected with malware

You didn't really think this through, did you

[woeful bronze]

anyone have any ideas on how to turn nested base64 encrypted text to regular text and be able to edit it and return it to the same nesting of base64? When I say nested I don't mean the whole text is encrypted twice or thrice, I mean some parts of the text are encrypted once, other parts twice others thrice and just connected together to make one text

[spiral notch]

borrow?

ask them :3

[spiral notch]

if you don’t have an idea of what you will or should be the final result then no not really

Just guesswork

[woeful bronze]

Well, with python I went as far as to see a rough structure, but i realised quickly that I can't bring it back to the original format. The plain text looks like a json file (game savefile)

[remote creek]

Hmm, you want to steal people's money

[remote creek]

There's something like this on burpsuite

[pliant palm]

thats just page encryption use cyber chef

@spiral notch if at somepoint i can pick your brain lemme know i'll shoot a dm if not i wont keep asking but i keep weird hours so i figure you can reply w/e

mostly just bug questions / hunting methoid and so forth im going to sleep

[spiral notch]

just send the dm whenever dw

I don’t get mad at dms especially since ur not a random

[woeful bronze]

couldn't find it on burpsuit. Maybe it's premium only?
As for Cyberchef, It's hard trolling me. with base 64 layers bytes get lost. And I can't find a specific other method

[pliant palm]

polite to ask ^-^ i get billions gets annoying so

[spiral notch]

it’s not on burpsuite

and cyber chef isn’t perfect at it

that’s the thing

it’s physically impossible

[pliant palm]

ya ok listen sometimes they do a bite swap

like 2 types of encryption in 1

[spiral notch]

can’t solve for x if you don’t have x at all

[spiral notch]

idk what the other guy yapped abt

[pliant palm]

example:

import base64


challenge= "shift130563(MMELH3IdvqZ4FKt4QUcyEKLpQKL3EqQdPaZnFXIzFURnFKP2DKyzwHf=)"

# Convert alphabet upper and lower to lists
alphabet_lower = list("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")
alphabet_upper = list("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")

#print(alphabet_upper.index('M'))
message = "MMELH3IdvqZ4FKt4QUcyEKLpQKL3EqQdPaZnFXIzFURnFKP2DKyzwHf="
shiftkey = 130563
shift = shiftkey % 26    #mod 26 is one rotation through english alphabet  shift = 17
#print(f"shift: {shift}")

newmessage = ''
# Keep digits 0-9 and = as is
for char in message:
    if char.isdigit() or char == "=":
        newmessage += char

    # Shift upper char 17 positions to the left
    if char.isupper():
        index = alphabet_upper.index(char) - shift
        #print(index, alphabet_upper[index])
        newmessage += alphabet_upper[index]

    # Shift lower har 17 positions to the left
    if char.islower():
        index = alphabet_lower.index(char) - shift
        #print(index, alphabet_lower[index])
        newmessage += alphabet_lower[index]
        

print(f"Message: {message}")
print(f"Shifted Message: newmessage")    
print(f'Flag: {base64.b64decode(newmessage).decode("utf-8")}') ```

[woeful bronze]

I can retrieve the original, just can't edit it to the encrypted format

[spiral notch]

hm

[woeful bronze]

because I can't tell how the alg decides when and where it will apply whatever amount of layers

but It seems to be important

probably does some integrity check with it

[pliant palm]

as i cant see it blind suggestion:

decode it change what you want re encode it and send it via sniper (just off the top random thought)

[woeful bronze]

it's not web based

[tough pendant]

first make a copy of your file so you dont mess up the original then just look through it for any base64 looking chunks like those long strings with random letters numbers and maybe a few equals signs at the end use a small script or online tool to try decoding them once if they turn into readable text try decoding again keep going till it stops working or the text looks normal note how many times you had to decode it thats your depth then if you wanna change something edit the readable text and just encode it back the same number of times to get back to the same nesting depth swap that back into the file where it was and check that everything still works or reads right always use copies when testing and remember not every random long string is base64 so dont worry if some dont decode at all

[woeful bronze]

I'm looked at the c# code for the encryption but it's too obfuscated to understand if it's correct

[tough pendant]

is that ai 😳

[pliant palm]

no

just a quick python to decode a challage in a past event i had laying around

[woeful bronze]

the problem with that is byte lose. After some point bytes are getting lost because of the layers of encryption

[pliant palm]

if you see here > "shift130563(MMELH3IdvqZ4FKt4QUcyEKLpQKL3EqQdPaZnFXIzFURnFKP2DKyzwHf=)"

the shift is what your looking for this allows you to know how much to shift the key and is found via the "magic" function on the chef

so sometimes ya gotta fiddle its my only real advice

[woeful bronze]

I can maybe send some decompiled code from the funtion that i think contributes. But there's definetly more steps to it

like deserialization

[tough pendant]

to fix the byte loss problem you have to stop converting everything to normal text when decoding deeper layers once a decode gives you bytes that arent valid utf8 just keep them as raw bytes instead of forcing them into text form you can store them in hex or base85 if you still wanna see or edit them visually then when you re encode start from those exact bytes so nothing changes this way every nested layer stays untouched and no data gets corrupted the main idea is to treat everything beyond the first non utf8 layer as binary not text and only convert it back when you absolutely have to for display or editing

[vale wedge]

What up and howdy

[woeful bronze]

so I just decode and whenever I want to edit something I do it with something like binary ninja?

so that the bytes stay on binary form and aren't lost?

[tough pendant]

yeah pretty much once you decode it to a point where it stops being normal text and turns into weird unreadable stuff you switch over to a binary editor like binary ninja or hxd that way you’re actually seeing and editing the real bytes instead of forcing them into text and messing them up you can tweak whatever you need there then just base64 encode those same bytes back the same number of times as before and everything stays intact no random byte loss or corruption it’s just safer to stop treating it like text once it clearly isn’t

[woeful bronze]

alright, I'll give it a try. Thanks

How do I install wireguard-tools through the terminal on debian? Any clue please?

Also I keep getting a issue about the cache lock and something like cache could not be locked or accessed or it is locked by someone etc.

you dont mix tor and vpn thats just stupid. omg dude read up on that please and ty. dont just do stuff .

[whole patio]

apart from what you "want", what was it that you actually did?

[woven anvil]

It looks like it installed.
The "error" that you are seeing is that the script it comes with called "wg-quick" is not running, which i would think would be normal.

[rapid yarrow]

Is there not a version similar to the one we get on windows? With a gui?

[whole patio]

likely already built into your DE

[rapid yarrow]

yes but it does not work when I input details

Should I just do import file?

[woven anvil]

tbh, i didn't know wireguard had a gui. It is a command-line application primarily.
Network Manager (The GUI network manager for most linux distros) supports Wireguard.

Hi
I'm new here
I have a small question
I want to switch to Linux
What is the best way to do that?

[wet gate]

download virtualbox or vmware and setup a linux VM with it

[onyx pawn]

@wet gate i see people use a black box and coding
Do i need to Lorne to use it

[wet gate]

a black box? what do you mean exactly

coding can be helpful in some areas of cybersecurity, its not required to learn it but it can definitely help in some areas

[chilly merlin]

@onyx pawn try ubuntu dual boot

[wet gate]

if its his first time using linux i wouldnt recommend that

chances are he'll update his windows machine and his linux bootloader will be overwritten

[onyx pawn]

Is virtualbox easy to set up

[chilly merlin]

Yeah 💀 worst case

[wet gate]

yes

[onyx pawn]

My pc can handle win 11 but i hate updates

[chilly merlin]

Yeah zaki install ubuntu iso from their website and install virtualbox

[onyx pawn]

@wet gate thanks

[chilly merlin]

You dont need to update

hello guys i need your help i lost my phone, it got stolen does anyone know any free tracking software and yes i already reported to the police but they sort of useless here

[wet gate]

what phone is it

[crisp star]

If you didn't install a tracking software beforehand, it's not possible.
But if it's an iPhone and you have "FindMe" enabled you could sign-in to your apple account via web and see where it is.

[wet gate]

for android you can login to your google account and potentially track it through there

pretty sure i remember an option to find the phone whenever i logged in online to reset my test android device

[nimble pulsar]

samsung

[wet gate]

https://android.com/find

[nimble pulsar]

yea dats bad i had samsung find my mobile but am locked out of my samsung account and i need dat fon to receive the codes and all but i will be get my sim card tomorrow so hopefully that can help me recover it

[wet gate]

login to your google account here

[nimble pulsar]

yea i tried this but the fon is off it keeps saying connecting for hours now

[wet gate]

well i doubt you'd have much luck unfortunately

[nimble pulsar]

yea its bad guess will see but thank you nonetheless

[lunar void]

So far it seems to be legit and „up to date“ of the most of it

I think I might give it a try

[granite vale]

Police is useless?

They can track phones at central processor level

[granite vale]

Run a vm

Basic enough for basic usage

You can hop to linux if you feel to

[wet gate]

yh they're not going to be using all of those resources to track said lost phone, furthermore the phone is turned off, it isnt connected to any cell towers

[granite vale]

Well then nothing really can help him

[wet gate]

and if you're going to say "but they can track it because of "backdoor" in processor chip", and refer to some NSA scenario, take your tin foil hat off, no police department has access to something like that, and there isnt even any solid evidence that a backdoor like that is even possible nowadays let alone actively used

[granite vale]

Nah they wont do that

Its not a big thing

[onyx pawn]

I just to do it the simple way
Friend told me that Linux is more stable and liter on the pc

[granite vale]

Well hes right but you dont need dualboot

[onyx pawn]

Do all games and programs run smoothly on it ?

[granite vale]

Some games doesnt support linux

[wet gate]

not any software that runs on windows

[onyx pawn]

Like what ?

[granite vale]

You can just run it in a vm

[wet gate]

wine is unstable

for most applications

[granite vale]

Every game that has kernel level anti cheat,most of the software windows has

[wet gate]

linux is not more stable than something like windows, especially if you don’t know what you’re doing

you could break ur entire system easily if u don’t know what commands ur running

[granite vale]

Instead of running linux on bare hardware you can run it in vm and continue your normal life with windows

[wet gate]

yh just do that if u wanna learn linux and its command line

[onyx pawn]

Switching to Linux will destroy my old files?

[wet gate]

no not if you run it in a VM

[granite vale]

He can run it in different disk if he really wants to

Or a live usb

[granite vale]

On vm nah it wont do anything

[onyx pawn]

I will ask my friend to do it for me

[granite vale]

To run it in a vm?

[wet gate]

not the best way to learn but sure

u could just watch a youtube tutorial on how to setup and install ubuntu on virtualbox

[onyx pawn]

The entire system
He is expert in this system

[woven narwhal]

Hi am new here and am interested in gaining more knowledge about ethical hacking

[wet gate]

learn web application exploitation

tryhackme and portswigger are two good resources

[wet gate]

#👥・new-member-guide

[plucky copper]

so its a good way to start? web application?

not to be greedy but how much it can pay? (ik its not a quick scheme to get moeny but situation demands me to ask)

[wet gate]

well yeah unless you want to get into binary exploitation and find bugs in software applications

but that is an extremely advanced topic that requires extensive experience in previous areas of computer science

web application hacking is a lot easier to understand and get a foothold into

[wet gate]

depends on the vulnerabilities you find, some low hanging fruit vulnerabilities like XSS will pay out a bounty of $250-$500 depending on its impact

other more serious vulnerabilities such as RCE will pay out anywhere from $10,000 - $30,000+, again depending on its impact

[zealous jasper]

Can cybersecurity be replace by ai or anything else ever or not

[wet gate]

the catch is, XSS is (in most cases) a lot easier to find than RCE

[wet gate]

no

[plucky copper]

resetti....
idk where you from but you really englighted me bro , thank you bro
stay safe brother☻

[wet gate]

physical security testing is still an area of cyber, furthermore AI agents and systems can still be vulnerable themselves to attacks

[naive vapor]

where are programs or websites like grabify?

[wet gate]

AI is nowhere near the ability to actually think logically or write code that can be considered secure

[zealous jasper]

So cybersecurity is future proof

[wet gate]

i would say so

[wet gate]

welcome

[wet gate]

search google, there are many alternatives

[naive vapor]

thank yuo

you

[wet gate]

or just setup and configure your own webserver to log any IPs of users that visit your website

[zealous jasper]

Are you doing cybersecurity job or something

[wet gate]

simply monitoring the access log of any webserver such as apache or httpd could be considered an IP logger

even though its just a log file

[wet gate]

yes i work in the industry

[naive vapor]

im trying to learn like kevin shared this link on his fb reel

[zealous jasper]

At what role

[naive vapor]

pretty cool discovery i may add

[wet gate]

not sure what you are referring to

[wet gate]

i work in vulnerability and compliance, primarily pentesting, conducing audits of systems, patching systems, analysing malicious binaries, that sort of thing

[zealous jasper]

So ethical hacker right

[naive vapor]

this discord server

[wet gate]

essentially

[wet gate]

oh i understand

[naive vapor]

4im amazed something like this exhists he said very nice peop[le and very helping

[zealous jasper]

How much time it takes you to become ethical hacker do you have certification

[naive vapor]

exists or whatever lol

[nimble pulsar]

well not the ones over here bro unfortunately

[wet gate]

for me i was self teaching myself since i was young

and yes i have some certifications

[granite vale]

Then nothing can really help you

[naive vapor]

can you point me the way to unlocking a cellphone? i dont know of many resources i have android sdk etc just trying to find extra resources

[granite vale]

Unlocking bootloader?

[wet gate]

for a complete beginner id recommend checking out Google's cybersecurity certification, it is free, and also doing the pre-security and cybersecurity 101 paths on https://tryhackme.com/hacktivities

[naive vapor]

yes, something like a network unlocker

[wet gate]

depends what phone it is

[naive vapor]

galaxy s24

[granite vale]

Its a fresh phone

[zealous jasper]

Like bro i am not a techie I am from arts background big intrested in tech but i want to learn that field or skill or knowledge that is irreplaceable like can't be replace by ai or anything else in the future ever
Can you guidee

[granite vale]

Unlocking the bootloader is just not worth it

[wet gate]

#👥・new-member-guide

[naive vapor]

i think its horrible how they lock the network, the consumer should have a choice. im looking into hwo to remove a network lock

[granite vale]

Oh you mean carrier lock

[zealous jasper]

So your suggestion is to go with cybersecurity

[naive vapor]

yes im sorry

[granite vale]

Its not possible to unlock it

[wet gate]

you can probably find more information on this here: https://xdaforums.com/t/closed-network-unlock.4685742/

[naive vapor]

i know of some online services that provide network unlocking, just trying to find some maybe open source projects to unlocking

[wet gate]

if it interests you and you feel like you can build a passion for it, sure go ahead

im not going to tell you what to do

[granite vale]

Yeah it would be just unofficial ways

[wet gate]

i doubt there would be some tool that works for every phone/kernel version/bootloader, but you can browse around on github, perhapsyou will find something

[zealous jasper]

Ya because I not techie so I am little bit fear that future proof skill like ai taking jobs of many eg in cybersecurity xbow ai is booming
So that fear of replaceable is confusing me

[wet gate]

i wouldnt be too worried about it

if ur scared about AI taking ur job go work as a retail worker or something, as i said AI is nowhere near capable of thinking logically or writing secure code, or even exploiting insecure code

[potent elk]

Guys someone doxed me on telegram how do they done that and how to prevent it?

[wet gate]

by doing OSINT, to prevent it, switch accounts to private, perhaps even delete them if you dont use them

create new accounts with new aliases

[potent elk]

How do they OSINT by just having my username

[wet gate]

databreaches, cross referencing, there are also telegram bots that give user information on some users

you may have also sent sensitive/personal information in other chats, that they were able to find

[potent elk]

Can u give me some of the bots to check if my account is there?

[potent elk]

No I didn’t

[wet gate]

pretty sure theres one called sangmata but im not sure about the official bot link

[potent elk]

Lemme check

[wet gate]

https://github.com/RichardLitt/awesome-opsec

here are some resources for keeping your opsec up to scratch and keeping yourself private

[potent elk]

The bot doesn’t work do you have another one?

[wet gate]

no

you might have to look around more

also considering you play roblox, your computer could have been hit with stealer malware, and your information was found in stealer logs

[potent elk]

How do u know?

[wet gate]

there are a lot of people who play roblox and spread stealer malware in order to steal items, accounts, etc

[mellow geyser]

guys i have leart networking but still there are lot of things that i think are missed is there a place where i get the full info on netwrking each and every detail

[potent elk]

I mean how do you know I play it

[wet gate]

it is connected to your discord profile

again, opsec

[potent elk]

...

i checked its not connected

[wet gate]

it was

when you was playing it

for the past hour and a half

[potent elk]

oh right

btw check dm

[wet gate]

k

[slim geyser]

is there a way to get more information on a reddit account?

[wet gate]

[slim geyser]

@wet gate can you PM me please? I have few questions

[wet gate]

ok

[nova cargo]

Please can someone help me I forgot my telegram to step password and I did not put recovery mail please how can I recover the telegram without resetting the telegram I don't want to lose my chat please someone should help me

[deft violet]

All you can do is contact whatever support they have. No one here can do anything for you.

[chilly merlin]

Wsl kali have limitations how to disable that shi

[woven anvil]

install kali on metal

Or make the VM manually, depending on what your limitation is

[chilly merlin]

Wth how

[chilly merlin]

I hate vms they are kinda laggy and slow

Should i dual boot

[woven anvil]

WSL is VM

its using hyper-v

if you use hyper-v yourself, you get way more control

[chilly merlin]

Wsl only works in terminal but?

[woven anvil]

No idea, when I used Windows, i avoided WSL because its imo never worth it unless you really need a linux shell in your windows terminal.
A Linux VM + SSH has a similar effect anyways.

But then you can open the console, and use it via GUI too

[chilly merlin]

Whats the best

[woven anvil]

hyper-v if you want it to be fast, or virtualbox if you want compatible VMs to be able to download

or buy a separate laptop for kali linux

[crisp star]

VMware

[chilly merlin]

Is dual boot good?

[woven anvil]

similar performance to hyper-v(if you mean workstation), but then if broadcom changes the license 3 more times, its something you gotta deal with.

[woven anvil]

Not really, because you end up only using 1 OS anyways, and people who are used to Windows just never boot into their linux side.

[crisp star]

I like having more control with VMware. Like disabling certain security features for the sake of performance.

[woven anvil]

When i tried to dual boot, i never booted into my Windows side

[chilly merlin]

Yup ts is laggyy i used ubuntu in vmware and kinda works shite

[woven anvil]

If you want control, Windows is the wrong OS

[crisp star]

Probably because you didn't disable side channel mitigation

[woven anvil]

KVM would be much better for that

[chilly merlin]

Thanks jeevis guy

[crisp star]

Unfortunately, I still have to stick with Windows because of games that don't support Kernel Anti Cheat on Linux.

[woven anvil]

Yeah, I choose not to support those games

But yeah, I agree, VMWare is 100% better performance than Virtualbox.
Hyper-v is what you would find in businesses though for windows-based hypervisors(and is free with windows pro)

[chilly merlin]

If in future i decide to switch to linux , how can i transfer my windows all info data to linux?

[woven anvil]

Always have your important data backed up somehow.
That way, you can just restore the backup onto whatever computer you want to use.

[chilly merlin]

Thanks

[whole patio]

like only if your computer is slow

[crisp raft]

why there is so limited knowledge base of Frappe. I tried asking this in multiple servers and got nothing

[quick blade]

yes.

10x better

[whole patio]

Let me ask in return - why dont you use the frappe forum for your question

[pine talon]

Can anyone help me with a project I'm making in C?

[whole patio]

I consider dual boot among the worst possible ways to use kali.. only to be considered when the hardware is ancient

[pine talon]

I wrote in #💬・programming channel but no one answered

[rugged arch]

New here

[chilly merlin]

anyone here that has expirence with debugging hit me up

[whole patio]

just ask the follow-up question

[foggy kestrel]

Hello . There’s someone have all code for kali linux or something like that

[chilly merlin]

i need some1 to try to debug something i made if they do they will get a reward

[quick blade]

kali 😭

go parrot

kalis for learning

[whole patio]

There is no such thing, and you would not need it if there were

[chilly merlin]

get backbox

[quick blade]

bro talking like he kno sm abt oses and code

[pine talon]

If you're just starting out, wstch a video on YouTube on how to install kali on a virtual machine (vm) and start learning from there

It's really easy to setup

[foggy kestrel]

Bro i m asking are you okay I know you are the best if you have something good to say say it if y don’t just be quiet

[pine talon]

You can install the kali image from the official kali website

There are also ready to go images for vms

[quick blade]

don't use kali lmao

[foggy kestrel]

No i know that i have kali in my computer now I want learn

[whole patio]

Kali is a rolling release linux distro - there is no up to date documentation apart from the documentation the tools have themselves

[foggy kestrel]

So parrot is better

[whole patio]

Parrot is just the same

There is very little difference

[pine talon]

In my opinion both are bloated with tools you will never use

[foggy kestrel]

Because i m beginner i want learn

[quick blade]

people have their own opinions, if u really want t learn easy go with kali then something else after u learn for a bit

[whole patio]

Kali is based on debian testing, so you get updates slightly faster than on parrot, which is based on debian stable

[chilly merlin]

If I have like very base level knowledge should I just keep trying labs in like htb to get more hands on or keep doing like the htb learns

[foggy kestrel]

So for learning what i had to do

[quick blade]

im stuck w garuda cause it looks nice and runs decently,

[quick blade]

true as well

[pine talon]

For learning just use kali or parrot os, they have little difference

Psrrot is more focused on privacy

But at the end of the day

You're still learning

So go with what you feel more comfortable with

[whole patio]

What makes you say that?

[foggy kestrel]

Yes that why . Can you give me advice when i find the maximum information if you know

[quick blade]

youtube my man

youtube or reddit

[pine talon]

Well kali is more for professional pen testing, and parrot is not only focused on professional pen testing, but also for daily use privacy and anonymity

[whole patio]

Or.. and that is just an idea here.. learn to actually read the documentation people wrote to give you a hand on how to use tools.
The less you actually engage with documentation, the less you really learn

[foggy kestrel]

Youtube is nothing for me i need a strict information youtube talking a lot for sime many information 🤷‍♂️

[whole patio]

You are repeating yourself - I am asking what made you say that

Like.. what do you base that on?

[quick blade]

everything you need for kali or whatever is on youtube

nobodys gonna hold ur hand and show u how to install everything

[foggy kestrel]

I have kali in my computer in virtual machine everything is on computer now I want learning how use kali and app there

[pine talon]

There are some tools that come pre installed on parrot like anonsurf which routes all your traffic through tor nodes, tor, onionshare for sharing files through tor and many more. That's from what I have read from the documentation. I haven't used parrot personally

Also as a operating system parrot is more hardened than kali

[quick blade]

dualboot, vm isnt going to do you any justice on a crappy pc/laptop

parrot is way more advanced to me

ngl

[pine talon]

True

[whole patio]

VMs are highly recommended for people new to it

[quick blade]

Why so

Just curious

[whole patio]

Well for starters you have less chance to mess your host operating system up. Repartitioning is the number 1 reason people break their main OS, updating windows (and to a lesser degree linux) can and will break grub, its easier to experiment with snapshots, you can easily build your own lab with VMs, and it is what you end up using later, if you do it professionally, anyway

And on a more practical note.. dual booting robs you of the opportunity to use both OS at the same time.. so you end up spending less and less time with one of them over time, statistically

[quick blade]

yeah ur right on that

[pine talon]

This is true

[quick blade]

havent booted garuda since september

i put a 500gb ssd in my pc for that and dont even use it

[pine talon]

Haven't booted windows for 2.5 yesrs now😂

[quick blade]

goddamn

i only use it for gaming, garuda for other shii

[pine talon]

I have a desktop pc that I use for gaming so on my main laptop I use for coding and cybersecurity I mainly use arch

[quick blade]

eh same i was gonna put linux on my laptop but ehhhh

[pine talon]

It saves a lot of ram

I haven't heard my fans running since I installed linux

[quick blade]

compared to having win 11 on a crap laptop?

[pine talon]

On windows they were on 80% of the time for absolutely no reason

[quick blade]

jeez alright i might look into that

[pine talon]

I have 16gb of ram

And it still somehow uses so much of it for no reason

[quick blade]

laptops been really slow i only have 6gb in the laptop bro i got 32 in my pc

isssa school laptop that i bought

like acer travelmate sum like that

[pine talon]

Just install ubuntu or popos on thst

You'll be fine

[quick blade]

ightt

[pine talon]

You'll see the difference immediately

[quick blade]

i seen a mf do rasberry pi os on a android

[quick blade]

prolly will

[pine talon]

HAHAHAHAHA have you seen the guy on tiktok installing windows 10 or 11 on an android ?

Bro hates his life

[quick blade]

No i havent wtf

Didnt they make a windows phoen that was rly crap

[pine talon]

Yeah

Idek why he did that tho

[quick blade]

Prob unoptomized asf

Js like everything else

[whole patio]

So now that the noise has lessened - most people new to kali simply lack foundational knowledge .. linux.. networks.. architecture.
Your choice is basically twofold.. well curated, up to date information is usually what comes with paid services / course material. A lot of the rest will put the burden if sifting through it on you.
So how would you describe your current linux knowledge?

[foggy kestrel]

I think I know a little like it's soft for cyber uses to monitor penetration

[whole patio]

That really doesn't tell us a lot. Ever administrated a linux server? Could you use linux right now as a daily operating system for pretty much all you need?

I'm trying to get a feeling for your basic knowledge here

[quick blade]

what do you even need it for? what do you want to use it for? why ??? are you understanding what they're saying?

[foggy kestrel]

No, I'm just a beginner from scratch, I don't understand anything, but I wanted to share with you to know

I m a student in cybersecurity it’s my first year

[quick blade]

originally we suggested you download from kali distro website and go to youtube, i dont use kali so i wouldnt know jack about it. not what i started on

[whole patio]

Honestly I wouldn't worry about cybersecurity right now, if I were in your situation.
Imagine, if you will, that pentesting is you, betting that you know more about systems and tools than the people who professionally use and secure them. Imagine that soc analyst/siem is someone who bets that he knows better what attackers/pentesters are doing, than they do.

This is not an entry level field.

a LOT more than people care to admit is knowing what you do, apart from the tools that some youtuber is trying to hype you today

[foggy kestrel]

I want to learn security and penetration as well

[whole patio]

Also, this field on discord has its fair share of one-uppance over each other.. don't listen to what people loudly tell you, there are about 160K people on this server and I dare to day that most of them are total beginners.. but they stay silent.

[foggy kestrel]

True

[whole patio]

or as the official kali tagline goes .. "The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear" 😉 Just pick something you know you are currently lacking.. maybe text editors, maybe hardening, maybe network protocols/routing, etc.. and start to get so good at it, that people would come to you to explain it to them

[foggy kestrel]

Thanks 🙏 i appreciate that

[whole patio]

You can try the route laid out in #👥・new-member-guide or #🛠️resources-tools -- but believe me when I tell you, get good at the operating system, comfotable using it, before you even think about cybersec

[foggy kestrel]

Ok 👊

is there a way to go from the windows homescreen into the attackbox on THM im very confused on why it keeps doing and i dont want to keep terminating it

Try Hack Me has its own Discord server, just for your information. Might be best to ask there

[whole patio]

Maybe its not them. It's you? 😉

[hardy pulsar]

[feral lintel]

yeah, sometimes chat is focussed on something else and drowns out your question.
Not familiar with the platform, you could try again later perhaps, or maybe someone here can help?

[whole patio]

Honestly it's still unclear to me what you are doing. And I've read on both servers

[hardy pulsar]

so ive logged into THM on google ive clicked the attack machine for the first part of the room in windows fundamentals 3 and once it logged me in i have the screen with the windows logo on it and not the terminal to put commands in to use the machine if u get what i mean

[whole patio]

No

[feral lintel]

This help at all? https://tryhackme.com/room/tutorial

[lunar void]

regedt32.exe is a stub application that exists purely for backward compatibility. In modern Windows (since Windows XP), running regedt32.exe simply launches regedit.exe and terminates. This is a deliberate design choice by Microsoft to maintain compatibility with legacy scripts and administrative workflows that specifically call regedt32.exe.

Why is that so?

[feral lintel]

which part of that statement is unclear? I feel like backwards compatibility says it pretty much?

[lunar void]

Can’t logically explain myself the backward compatibility

[feral lintel]

oh, i see #💬・old-gen-chat message

[echo patio]

Yep you have any suggestions

[feral lintel]

dunno, photoshop? not really sure what your end goal is here

[slow edge]

Why you want that?

[lunar void]

“Backward compatibility” means new versions of software can still run or handle things made for old versions — like how regedt32.exe still “works” today by redirecting you to regedit.exe.

[slow edge]

In older versions of Windows NT there were two regedit binaries, and regedt32.exe was one of them. Later on, Microsoft added compatibility thing because there are some administrative scripts, or legacy scripts which still use that, for instance they might start it:
start regedt32.exe

Now why when you launch it, it exits immediately? - To prevent any breakage, Microsoft kept a tiny "stub" executable named regedt32.exe and it's sole purpose is to run and exit immediately, so any program who calls it, they will not just get stuck or break.

[lunar void]

Yes I just didn’t know it is basically impossible for Microsoft to edit it to the newer version — that was my misunderstanding.

[slow edge]

Well, Microsoft could change all the programs that call it and make them call newer version, but that would be a lot of work and probably they might be doing it for future updates, but it is just that it takes a lot of time and testing
Because Windows is a complex OS, things will break during this process

[lunar void]

Not a lot of us put Windows and Linux on the same disk. Most of us actually recommend against it over and over again. So you may not get a lot of responses.

[arctic crest]

I did it 15 years ago

and it was a pain then

[woven anvil]

Same pain now, but TPM is also involved. So microsoft gets big fat notifications saying "this computer is not using the windows bootloader, and has linux installed"

[arctic crest]

if they wanted to control the hw they should have done what apple did lol

[kindred gate]

Not the same disc on separate.

I really don’t mind if I need to use my
Entire thumb drive to hold kali I just want to be able to keep my windows 11 boot drive

[woven anvil]

If its on a separate disk, then just turn off the machine, unplug(or disable in BIOS) the one you don't want effectred

then F12 or F11 or w.e when the computer starts up to choose the boot disk

It has auto-partitioning, but even manual partitions are just a root partition, and an EFI partition. Everything else is optional

[kindred gate]

Ok I did all that pretty much and made the thumb drive with kali on it the first option to boot on. But I’m basically at the disk partition portion of the installation just need help with that I guess

ok and can you help me understand why it must have happened ?

did it still load something starting the vm?

it's because i haven’t gotten any problem since i started using it, after living kali, kali sometimes freezes when you’re working

yeah, that's logic flaws

Lolz, it's not an app

it's a vulnerability

it's not something that a beginner could pull out in one day of knowing about it

you have to study and know how it occurs

how developers make those mistakes

and how you can spot it and take advantage of it

@gentle coyote to be clear, the best way to get the cheapest option legally is to use your search engine properly. In some cases afaik for example edge has addins where you can look up a product and it will find cheaper ones on any side for you. idk anymore how to get it, just look it up it exists. You can also try to contact the producer itself, maybe they are happy you contacting them directly if they save themself comission for selling on other platforms. However this will not be the regular way and you have to pay what everyone else will pay as well

guys okay so i made a github repo full of wallpapers in folders

https://www.github.com/xyarjun/walls

inspired by https://github.com/dharmx/walls

however whenver i open any folder in his repo there is a readme and it displays the wallpapers in it, how do i add the same thing in my repo? im new to github im js learning stuff

[odd steeple]

maybe u should do it practically, install linux if u face any issue look it up and fix it, thats how i got used to linux, spend more time on terminal
https://www.linuxjourney.com is a good one fr

I do just looking for more specific resources about administrating etc

like way too many

but yea overviewing hak5 is a decent thing

even tho hackers dont really use that in particular

[lofty abyss]

Yea i was looking for like 20 only for a presentation

[spiral notch]

attleast not from that company

coolio

feel free to text me if youll need help or clarification on them

[lofty abyss]

Alright ty

[whole patio]

just stay away from the flipper zero and the hak5 badusb and you are fine

[spiral notch]

[whole patio]

those have been covered to death

[spiral notch]

WAIT WAIT

you should like

[lofty abyss]

I literally made the first slide about flipper zero because that's the only one i know 💔

[spiral notch]

cover the actual circuitboards

that make the tools

and cover the base for the tools

thatll give u many marks imo

[whole patio]

you delete that right away! 😛

[spiral notch]

way more than others

atleast imo

there is the malduino, the guy has several videos where he shows how he assemble them

yeah

and just 9n general he can

research abt esp32

[lofty abyss]

That sounds too advanced 😭

[spiral notch]

rpi pico

etc

[spiral notch]

its not!!

i promise

like yes its more steps

than just covering the tool and what it does

[lofty abyss]

I wanna make it more fun and not technical

[spiral notch]

but its worth the marks

imo

[wet gate]

i used to wardrive with one of these

[dire path]

Outside of data breach work in ethical companies is there any way to understand how to use knowledge gained here to advance financially ethically ? Idk if this is against the buesniss inquiries I'm not asking nor offering services just questioning the different methods one can use with the knowledge gained here to get a heads up in life ethically I'm 19 and broke 😭

[spiral notch]

this field

is way broader

than just databreaches

[wet gate]

since this is a cybersec server you can get knowledge about cybersec, and potentially move into a cybersec job role

[dire path]

Is that basically freelancing using cybersec capabilities or contract work for companies or online buesnisses ?

[wet gate]

both those two

and employment

[dire path]

Alright thanks for info is there any base level I need to get to. To be able to benefit or be qualified ?

[wet gate]

i’d check out #📜・certs-and-career and #👥・new-member-guide

[woven anvil]

With the skills, you could also go into Sysadmin/Systems engineering as well. Cybersec has a bunch of wonderful things all wrapped up into a package.

[wet gate]

it’s a broad field that is constantly evolving so you’ll always be learning new things, but if you become passionate about it, it can pay good and also be fun depending on the area you work in

[dire path]

Thank y'all for the road map this is a field im deeply enamored by and hope to learn what I can from here 🙏

[sour current]

really new to coding, currently still studying cybersecurity. wondering if i could use a laptop for cybersecurity and if so what laptops should i be looking at?

[mystic mica]

anything from laptop between 4g & 16 ram with a decent linux distro can be transformed in a nice warbox , i prefer dell laptops , they hardly break

[whole patio]

Long story - depends on your requirements
Short version - get a thinkpad with enough ram, or where ram can be upgraded

not a lenovo chromebook - thinkpad

[lunar void]

Hello, I do not understand the differences behind
bash -i—l or -il
it loads different environments like ~/.bash_profile, ~/.profile whatever but how does it affect the practice / work in the moment or in general? I do want to understand the fundamentals but I just can’t….

[woven anvil]

bash -i—l does not work

[finite idol]

bash -i interactive shell
bash -l ogin shell
bash -il interactive and login shell (runs both .bash_profile and .bashrc)

[woven anvil]

Essentially, when you are running bash in interactive + login mode(which would be the default when you login, or open a terminal emulator), it will load pre-configured settings, as well as allow you to work with interactive prompts.

If you spawn a process of bash that runs a script without any flags, then the script will not be running in this interactive mode, and will not have access to those resources.

[lunar void]

I just wanted to mention all variations

[woven anvil]

One key time where this becomes an issue is, lets say you want to make a script that will run nmap.

If you have it running

nmap <whatever parameters>

Then if the global PATH isn't set up to know where nmap is, but the user's bash configs has the locations added to their PATH, then you may be confused why the script refuses to work under those conditions.

[lunar void]

So the options where i can configure my shell often mentioned are just not loaded? Like the user profile

[woven anvil]

Yes.

You can actually see this if you use su <username> vs su -l <username>
One will load your variables, and the other will not. Making things look weird/different if you have customized your bash.

and it can break more than PATH, as you suggested, any of the custom configs in there may have issues.

[floral sable]

really new to coding, currently still studying cybersecurity. wondering if i could use a laptop for cybersecurity and if so what laptops should i be looking at?

[lunar void]

When I run a bash without -l right? Since that won’t load the PATH

[woven anvil]

Well again, you have a global PATH for the entire system as well in /etc/profile, those would still work.

And the correlation is cybersec is that you aren't always working in a system you set up, or are comfortable in. You may be working with a shell that is barely set up in the first place. So understanding what is loading, and how things load is important.

[lunar void]

I think I need to work that down part for part, which PATH will be affected with which environment.
But that will not be common issue in daily business I believe since it’s very specific PATH that is or is not loaded

[lunar void]

Okay now that you mentioned it is important I will take extra care tomorrow 😕

[woven anvil]

When normally using linux, your path is loaded and that is it.

If you are setting up a linux server for whatever use case(in a business or otherwise), and don't know how this works, and you are switching between root + a user, then you will run into this problem eventually.

If a business has linux servers set up properly with ansible/salt/puppet, then they most likely globally control this for the entire domain already to enforce what it should be(change things back if someone makes a change)

[lunar void]

If you have free time I am free to get lecturerd from you 😅🙌

Since cybersec will be difficult to take a step into I thought about focusing about the sysadmin as professions first, now breaking the fundamental down with Linux idk what I got into 🤣

Thank you for your time

[whole patio]

Gave you an answer before

Huh.. actually I didn't. You just copied the question someone else posted

[lunar void]

Long story - depends on your requirements
Short version - get a thinkpad with enough ram, or where ram can be upgraded

[woven anvil]

I am not good at lecturing ^_^"
My brain gets too off topic, and I can't go back and re-fix words if I say wrong things.

[woven anvil]

Linux has more of its "how it works" available to you than windows does, allowing for good customization, at the cost of adding complexity.
I've seen a bunch of windows-only sysadmins or helpdesk, who end up being too afraid to try linux(even though, I would argue that there are a lot of processes that are easier in linux. OSes are just tools. Use the right tool for the right job)

[lunar void]

[lime moth]

Hey, I'm trying to get into cybersecurity, but I don't have any money to buy any books or to take any courses, what are the best free resources to learn from and where should I start?

[woven anvil]

#👥・new-member-guide Has some information about getting started with Tryhackme, which is a free beginner platform to get started.
#💕・free-resources also gets a lot of links that have free information that ends up being pretty good.

[lime moth]

I was doing Tryhackme, but they wanted to pay a subscription to keep using their service...

[woven anvil]

Its in the walkthrough section here, you can sort by "Most popular" to see what a lot of people ar starting with.

Keep in mind that they will still bug you about subscribing when using VMs past 1 hour or whatever they do, i don't remember.

Hackthebox is another resource that has a "some free, per day" access as well, so mixing some of these together once you start getting a little more advanced is good. Then there is always Cisco's Network Academy + Packet Tracer for learning more about networking, or something like sololearning/codedex or https://www.learnpython.org/ to learn more about programming/scripting, or Nand2Tetris to learn more about hardware/CPUs and assembly.

[arctic crest]

What good resources

TryHackMe is great for beginners

and cheap too, I told the owner he should charge more

[arctic crest]

The subscription price for the content is worth it. Cisco has classes that cost $700 and the content isn't as good.

And with TryHackMe you get more than just one class

Do any of you know free app or software for tcp reverse connection on port 4444 am trying to use ngrok but they need my credit card before I can use??

But I don't want to use my credit card

Please can I get help

[rare goblet]

Try this Cloudflare Tunnel (cloudflared) — can expose TCP services (not just HTTP) and is free for typical single-user use. Good for exposing a single TCP port to a stable hostname via Cloudflare’s network. Docs explain how to point a tunnel at tcp://localhost:4444.
Pros: reliable, no inbound ports required; managed.
Cons: requires a Cloudflare account (free tier) and some setup.

search up how to do a hard reset for the model of your phone

thats the only thing you can do

if its malware

[worldly gazelle]

Ok I will

completely wipe everything

and if its still there

its probably just your phone bugging

[worldly gazelle]

I can't even boot it into safe mode using the buttons

This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.

Proceed to grabify.link (unsafe)"

its available for me

[wet gate]

firefox

[wet gate]

u mean u just wanna try and log peoples IP addresses with a grabify link

[dapper marsh]

I'm not using people I'm using my own device

because i know its illegal and i know the consequences if i log people's ip and exploit it somewhere

that's why im testing it on my own just like a VULNHUB

[wet gate]

well there are many ip grabber sites out there to "test" on

u can search google and try any one of them

[spiral notch]

you ain’t exploiting others IPs

stop dreaming

i know the what's the problem is i figure it out that my ISP is blocking grabify link and IP logger

[dapper marsh]

I'm sorry imean the sensitive info's from thier ips

[spiral notch]

there’s almost none

[dapper marsh]

why😭😭

[spiral notch]

??

[dapper marsh]

@wet gate this is the problem why I can't access grabify HAHAHA looks like the owner of the wifi is blocking some websites like this or he change the firewall level of the router

[wet gate]

there are loads of other alternatives

just search google

[dapper marsh]

even me i cant access the gateway of my cousins ISP

[wet gate]

an IP does not give you any sensitive info

alright i see

there is nothing we can do about that

we cannot help with that unfortunately,
best thing to do is report and ignore

I did, multiple times but everytime tiktok says no violations found along with the fact that you can only report impersonations of youself and celebrities.

And the sad part is that the person keeps saying crazy stuff to women and people think it's him

tell ur best friend to report it

he did and I promise you nothing happened

could you guys at least report the account
