Hi guys im building a malware analysis tool and really need sample malware is there any source online for downloading basic sample malware that is intended for testing

[sand swallow]

@bronze canyon check on your diet and stop behaving like your street food

[bronze canyon]

i believe its best for you to first learn linux fundamentals
and basic coding
along with networking on thm

[sand swallow]

@mighty sable ask your momma

[bronze canyon]

by leaving this server and going to darkweb

then hire a blackhat

Step 1 is to create an facebook account...
Step 2 is to login to the account.

Keep it simple, crime does not pay.

[simple wyvern]

Hi guys, I wanna ask is there like a website or source I can learn how to navigate linux?

[feral lintel]

linuxjourney is popular

https://labex.io/linuxjourney

[simple wyvern]

ahh ok

[feral lintel]

pwncollege is nice as well!

https://pwn.college/

[simple wyvern]

ight i'll check that out too

And I also wanna ask, whenever I try to use burpsuite, using proxy and I try to load a website, it wont load. Why is that?

Cause I am trying to do some picoctf problems and the question I am struggling with is stuff relating to burpsuite cause the website wont load

[feral lintel]

If you are intercepting the requests actively, you would also have to forward them after. Like if you intercept someone's mail, you'll still have to send it to the receiver after, or they will never respond.
Just one thing that could be going on.
Do you see anything happen in Burp?

[simple wyvern]

oh wait it loaded

hehe

[feral lintel]

it WILL slow everything down, haha ^^

[simple wyvern]

damn didnt even think about forwarding it

[feral lintel]

yeah, happened to me before that I was waiting and waiting until I realized that I still had the request sitting there xD

[simple wyvern]

ight that is HUGE thanks for the help

[whole patio]

segmented, airgapped, separated..

where are you trying to enter it?

What ctf is this

[chilly merlin]

idk what we talkin about hell yeah

[whole patio]

so a live CTF. Those are meant to see what you can do and what you know, not "how many people can I ask to do my homework"

[void raven]

hey guys

hope y'all doing well

i had a question

the cybersec field is so vast

how do i know whats best for me?

[spiral thicket]

yo
can anyone help me
i wanna bypass my password in a samsung fone and i dont wanna lose data

[whole patio]

just enter your password and make a backup

[spiral thicket]

no it wont work

if i enter a pswd it gets locked for a day

[whole patio]

so you do not know your password?

[spiral thicket]

😭thats why i wanna bypass

[whole patio]

Well, good news is - you are not going to, and we are not helping with stolen phones

[spiral thicket]

and what if its not stolen

[whole patio]

People handling stolens phones always say it isn't stolen. But you are "in the same position" as someone who has a stolen phone, and we don't help those nor do we believe pinky-promises that it isn't stolen

[chilly merlin]

Yo guys how can i get free certificates dies anyone know

[spiral thicket]

valid enough

[spiral thicket]

thx for the help

[void raven]

ohhh
so i just get deep into the field and see where i swing

thnx

[slow edge]

Well Udemy and Coursera has lot of free courses! If you are starting rn then certs of programming, networking, or THM would work
But in future try to go for paid certs too

Free certs don't have much value

But for knowledge sake you can definitely do them

[ionic python]

Hello can someone please help? Whenever i try to run net hunter this pops up
"proot error: '/usr/bin/env' not found (root = /data/data/com.termux/files/home/kali-arm64, cwd = /home/kali, $PATH=(null))
fatal error: see proot --help."

[jaunty sky]

Hy guys no coding related but can anyone help me with fifa 18 launch app if possible

[deep topaz]

It looks like, wherever you told Nethunter to launch from it doesn’t exist

[ionic python]

How i already have it installed on termux

It should say command not found not that

[deep topaz]

Then nethunter may be corrupt

[crisp star]

Whatever you deleted was important enough to brick the whole system.

[deep topaz]

Did your download get interrupted? Did you download from somewhere other than Kali?

[deep topaz]

Based on what I’m seeing, you don’t have it ALL installed. If you’re missing the /usr/bin/env packages you don’t have it installed

Where did you get your Termux from?

[crisp star]

Would just do a fresh installation instead of fixing it. Probably much faster.

[small perch]

Hey everyone! I'm trying to learn how to do data recovery using Kali tools. I'm seeing mixed messages on whether to use ddrescue or to use foremost - many forums are saying to stay away from ddrescue while other forums are saying ddrescue is the only one to use. I tried practicing with foremost last night and it was only able to find 79 files (only 24 when i added -q) of the 30k+ files I deleted (it's a practice drive, i don't actually need or necessarily want to recover anything, it's just to learn how to recover - it's a perfectly healthy drive too) and of those 79 files, I was unable to actually find them after outputting them to another drive. I've watched several of the videos on youtube on the topic, but none of them really show the step by step process that delivers any files being recovered in practice...in the video, they magically cut-to thousands of files recovered but don't show it. Do any of you use either tool for recovery or do you use something else?

[crisp star]

I've never heard about these tools. Most common forensic tool that is free would be Autopsy.

[small perch]

Oh I saw that one in there but i've not played with it yet!

[whole patio]

I believe ddrescue is the tool to choose if recovery is prioritized, and others if authenticity is prioritized

You are not making a "forensic image" with ddrescue, for example

[small perch]

Pardon my newbness, but is recovery just as simple as "foremost -t all -v -i /dev/sda1 -o /dev/sdb1" ?? or is there much more involved in actually recovering files? Because the videos tend to just do that line of command and then voila! they have all their files recovered. But not mine. didn't do shiz

[whole patio]

I have never used foremost

[crisp star]

I mean it always depends what kind of data you try to recover.

[whole patio]

the usual process is "First image the source device in an exact copy" .. and work with a copy of that image from here on out

[small perch]

ahh yeah, i did see you should first clone the drive to a healthy drive and then work on the copy. Which tool do you recommend for a drive clone?

[whole patio]

ddrescue will try to make damaged files accessible in the process, which is a different use case than "I want to preserve the damaged sectores/files as damaged as they are right now"

[whole patio]

for private use, I just use dd

[small perch]

okay, perfect

Thank you so much!

[formal merlin]

hey what are good forums or telegram group or opensource tool for osint

[small perch]

I've been desperately trying to get a security role for several months and I can't seem to get any role at the moment. job market is f'd, it feels like. so I'm going to get really good at data recovery to make ends meet in the meantime

[whole patio]

Maybe try the Trace Lab discord

[formal merlin]

how good it is?

[whole patio]

Yeah ever since I started digging into it, people keep coming to me with their situations

[whole patio]

go and find out 😉

[formal merlin]

Thanks man

[whole patio]

takes up a whole lot of drive space though

[small perch]

I've done the help desk thing for 3 years...and currently do tech support for anyone who needs computer help, but the ads for the services take my entire income from doing it 😂 😭 but at least it's keeping me busy and i'm learning new stuff along the way. but if I can add data recovery to the services, I think I just might start profiting

[analog musk]

the install got borked, reinstall is the only way out

[small perch]

I got a 6TB drive for doing DR...I'm not oppose to setting up a NAS or something in order to be able to recover more data

[whole patio]

So if someone with a 2 TB hard drives shows up.. one image will take 2 GB, the one you work on another 2, and recovered data may well exceed 2 TB

Also quite a lot of people show up with the mobile devices, which can be their own can of worms

[small perch]

Oof, I didn't even consider mobiles...and I imagine that may be one of the more popular types of devices for recovery too.

[steady saddle]

what files do you need recovered

there’s never a straight way to recover files if something is corrupted or was overwritten

[small perch]

I'm trying to offer data recovery services for my business - so it would need to be all types of files

[formal merlin]

how do i get my hands on courses for free

tell me

[steady saddle]

oooo fancy

[crisp star]

The thing is that there is never a 100% way to recover data

[steady saddle]

in that way i’ll rather gatekeep hihi

[crisp star]

Some are corrupted, some are inside the memory and when you reset the pc it's getting wiped

[small perch]

yeah, true. I would love to be able to achieve 50% minimum....but I also know there's a lot to factor in when it comes to recovery. like the health of the drive itself will be the biggest factor, and then the corruption of the files, etc.

[crisp star]

Would rather invest in a good backup solution

[whole patio]

#💕・free-resources

[formal merlin]

yeah any thing would work

[whole patio]

sometimes there is though 😉

but to get corporate clients that would be some serious investment in hardware.. and time consuming

private clients usually don't expect to pay a lot

[crisp star]

I love it when corpos are getting encrypted by a ransomware group and they have no backup

[small perch]

that would be a great end-goal. In the meantime, I need to learn how to just recover a thumbdrive successfully 😂

[whole patio]

prepare for pain though, since more and more systems are full disk encrypted. Good luck recovering from a win11 hard drive

[ionic python]

Managed to fix it

Now i have a new issue, can anyone tell me how fo fix kali? It needs a password for me to use commands like sudo apt update

[crisp star]

Did you create a new user or what?

[ionic python]

Im entering the password i entered with the command "kex passwd" but it wont work it only says sorry try again

[ionic python]

Idk after installing it it's asking me for a password

Whenever i try to update

[crisp star]

I mean if you installed it, you should be the one that set a password?

[ionic python]

Issue is i haven't set one yet and its asking me for one

Prtty weird ngl

[crisp star]

Well you probably going to figure out maybe. Not sure why anyone would use Termnux is the first place.

[ionic python]

Cuz im on mobile and idk any applications to use other than termux

[crisp star]

Install that stuff on a laptop or something

Using a mobile phone for programming / cybersecurity is very inconvenient.

[whole patio]

I blame Watch Dogs

[slow edge]

We don't do that here, contact the platform! Make sure to read #📜・rules @solid vault

[small perch]

I played WD2 and then the third one (didn't finish that one though)....I bought the first one (Chicago) and haven't played it yet

[haughty zenith]

Sounds like you are using termux with nethunter

Have you tried the default passwords....

[cold sun]

Hey everyone, I recently graduated and I’m early in my cybersecurity career. I have a solid foundation from school and labs, and now I’m focused on getting more hands-on practice to sharpen my skills while I’m job hunting. If anyone has suggestions on labs, home projects, or ways to gain real-world experience, I’d really appreciate the guidance.

[haughty dawn]

what kind of roles are you targeting?

[cold sun]

Long term, red team adversary emulation. Short term, anything that gives me real exposure to attack paths, detections, and response so I can build solid tradecraft.

[night sequoia]

hey yall I'm self-teaching myself cybersecurity, currently I've been using TryHackMe but I'm having trouble with OpenVPN, as in it doesn't work I've watched half a dozen videos and yet the link they give me still doesn't work. Does anyone have tips or references?

Hello I'm having a terrible time getting Kali Linux to connect to the internet so I can download all the packages

I didn't know Kali was installed with all network configurations disabled

Yes I know n00b move

it is not?

how do you correct to your network

[valid oxide]

Either that or I messes up my installation

Ethernet cable

I'm not even able to ping

I'm just going to try and reinstall

[steady saddle]

you should be able to if your ethernet is plugged in

[small perch]

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

Like how do i imbed it into images?

[steady saddle]

yeah sure!

what do you need embedded and into what?

[valid oxide]

I'm not allowed to upload images yet

I got it working. It was a partition issue

I still dont think I did it right tho... but we'll see

[ionic python]

Uh a payload

Currently embedding it alr

[steady saddle]

ah oki

[steady saddle]

alrighty

[ionic python]

But i have a payload for windows

How do i use it?

I wanna test on vmbox

[steady saddle]

you said you embedded it, no?

[crude breach]

How deep do I have to go into "how a computer computes" (binary, computer hardware) to get into cybersecurity? like do i have to go deep into how logic gates work and stuff?

[haughty dawn]

you should know binary and basic hardware. you don't need to be able to build logic circuits, but you should understand boolean operations like XOR

[crude breach]

Im watching TCM Academy HelpDesk

Reckon thats enough?

[haughty dawn]

idk never done that

probably depends on what your goals are

though if you're not interested in how computers work then i'm not sure why you'd want to be in cybersecurity

[woven anvil]

nand2tetris is a free resource

Turing Complete is a steam game

both will teach logic gates + more hardware-type stuff

[chilly merlin]

[raven depot]

Anyone to help teach me hacking

[lean sierra]

ok, thanks though

Thank You

[whole patio]

Sounds like you used rufus to flash the intallation medium

[small perch]

I'm nowhere near being a good hacker....but I know the best way to 'get off the ground' is to establish a knowledgebase for yourself. Get a computer (old laptop you have laying around or create a live usb of kali linux to run on your personal computer) and familiarize yourself with kali for a bit. then open up youtube and start searching things like "nmap for beginners" and do that with every tool you see in there. watch a few youtube videos on each of the tools. Then scan your own network at home and use some of the knowledge you've learned so far from the youtube videos in order to understand what you're looking at. Maybe try to hack into another computer that you set up on your own network. Maybe build your own home SOC so that you can understand how you could be attacked or to just understand network traffic logs.... and, once you've done that, THEN you'll be in a position where you can ask for a mentor on guiding you into hacking. But honestly, by that point, you probably won't even need anyone to teach you hacking. You'll have a decent enough baseline to kind of know your way around the kali tools

[glacial sand]

Hey hows it going everyone? Weird ask, Anyone know how you can spoof an email? I foolishly put a work email as my email for an account. Trying to access the account their like you have to verify and they do that by sending a email to the email listed. Since new owners of the old work place wont reactivate the email for 1 day. Is there anything else i can do? Already tried reaching out to the account contact us and they will not budge until verification is done

[cerulean socket]

@lost vapor

[lost vapor]

yes there is

a rule against piracy

[steady palm]

Yes there is a rule against it.We dont authorise or condone it

[cerulean socket]

Alright, my bad. Any free alternatives though?

[lost vapor]

you gotta rank up #🤝・roles-info

[cerulean socket]

Or other discord server that could help?

[subtle wyvern]

Hey I need a hacker

Anyone who's good ?

[harsh saddle]

Thanks I mainly joined this discord because I work as a Splunk Admin/Engineer in cybersecurity and I'm pivoting to ethical hacking so it'd be nice to talk to different individuals and pick their brain that's the only reason I joined. I guess I got to rank up it seems like an active community!

[lost vapor]

what for?

[solid gull]

What model is the laptop?

[simple wyvern]

Does anyone have any advice or resource for me to learn CTF? Cause right now the way I'm learning is mindlessly trying to answer picoCTF problems starting from easy and just watching youtube videos of how to do them when I dont understand them which I do with almost every problem. I dont think this kind of way of learning is that effective so can anyone help me?

[subtle wyvern]

Kinda personal

[lost vapor]

doing labs or thm rooms is the way to learn how to do ctfs, ctfs are exams
you always go blindly to them

[subtle wyvern]

Can I dm

[lost vapor]

ok, and did you read our #📜・rules ?

[subtle wyvern]

Personally

Okay then

My crypto account was hacked

I need help seriously

[lost vapor]

we cannot hack it back if that's what you're aiming at

anyone telling you otherwise wants to scam you for money so be careful

[subtle wyvern]

Oh my God

That's terrible

Even at least try ?

[lost vapor]

we cannot hack that back

period

nobody can

[subtle wyvern]

Okay thanks

[simple wyvern]

So you think I should start with tryhackme or hackthebox first, finish them and then after that do picoctf problems?

[lost vapor]

yes, with doing labs and rooms you have assistance from previous people doing them
plus, you get to understand where's your knowledge gap

once you do you can go into places like htb's academy to learn stuff

i am subscribed to their academy and so far i've learned a lot when it comes to windows

[simple wyvern]

Ohhhh

Is it THM or HTB free to join?

Or is there like some sort of subscription to it?

[simple wyvern]

Wait but how is that any different with picoctf? Isnt it pretty much almost the exact same thing solving CTF problems?

[lost vapor]

all free

[lost vapor]

they represent many ways to get into a machine

a bit more beginner friendly too if you ask me

[simple wyvern]

Hmmm ok then, i'll check them out later

Thanks for the help

[unique ivy]

hey guys,
Please i want a linux suggestions (user friendly), i wanna install arch but some people are saying it’s lwk ass so idk

[unique ivy]

@junior hamlet Help🥀

[junior hamlet]

Arch is the most complex distro I have used it's very unstable but gives you more insight on how Linux works

[unique ivy]

is debian really good?

[junior hamlet]

Debian the Great father of all distros

[junior hamlet]

Debian is very stable and most recommended

[unique ivy]

should i install it as a beginner? what do you think?

[junior hamlet]

Definitely

[unique ivy]

aiit, thanks pookie

@hallow torrent thank you too

[whole patio]

Debian emphasizes stability over recent versions.. it is great for servers. You can use it for desktop environments, just expect to have new versions of programs appear late

ubuntu, mint, fedora, those all are usual recommendations to people who just want a working system without having to know too much about it

[unique ivy]

which one do you suggest?
Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, Debian

[whole patio]

Entirely your own decision

[unique ivy]

aiit imma just choose blindly

thank you gentle sir

[chilly merlin]

Any good videos on explaining monero and how to use it?

[woven anvil]

[steady saddle]

it’s nkt that complex

@unique ivy arch may be difficult but you’ll learn a lot

[steady saddle]

wdym how to use it?

it’s a cryptocurrency, you use it almost as another one

you have a wallet where you can receive and from which you can pay

it’s decentralized often and has no KYC

[woven anvil]

I think a commodore64 was harder

[misty oyster]

i wanted to make sure i wasnt missing out on some lingo i didnt understand

and its just a word

its not that serious

[woven anvil]

You were trolling before that.
Don't.

[high raft]

please can you tell what should i focus on pwn like what are the common mistakes in pwn challenge

[misty oyster]

Guy named santa enters so i joke about me not getting presents

[high raft]

please forget the name santa just focus on help

[woven anvil]

Focusing too much on passing a single challenge, and not learning everything.

[misty oyster]

I cant help you much more than what he helped u with

so i suggest you to just do that

[high raft]

ok fine

[misty oyster]

i cant add anything to help i think

[high raft]

does cli or what tool is best do you know

like checksec

[woven anvil]

If you sign up with Tryhackme, it will give you a summary of a bunch of tools.
Asking about each individual one here will get people to stop responding.

Check out their free rooms.

[high raft]

ofc but it is better ask people who are responsive and have seen barriers with the challenges

sorry if mistake

[woven anvil]

Then stick with that questions.
Im sure @steady saddle or @whole patio could have some insight, but a lot of people get busy, so doing your own self-research and self-practice is almost a requirement. Or else you will be always stuck at the next step, and it will be impossible to get anywhere.

[steady saddle]

meow

am never busy

[steady saddle]

hm

[whole patio]

People saying "Yeah I know I can look it up myself, but I'd rather ask people instead" may be starting with a handicap here

[steady saddle]

and what’s the question?

[high raft]

the question is about pwn

[steady saddle]

bro

not asking what the question is about

what is the question itself..?

[high raft]

uh the question is how can i solve pwn challenges

[fringe mural]

[high raft]

what are the steps and what are the common mistakes in pwn

what tool you now to solve pwn challenges

[steady saddle]

which ones

there are so many different things you can own

pwn*

[high raft]

most of the time i lose ctfs that have pwn part

[whole patio]

The question is impossible broad.. if you think there is a cookie cutter answer, you may be seriously underestimating the challenges

that being said man probably

[steady saddle]

just like eris said

your question is so broad

[high raft]

i got the answer yah "cutter" is best

[harsh saddle]

I'm currently a Splunk Admin trying to learn ethical hacking I'm almost done with my metasploit course any other recommendations from any penntesters out there?

[steady saddle]

??

[high raft]

yes cutter

bro told me secretly

[high raft]

pentest has lots of parts

can you make it specific

[tame sequoia]

i am starting new in cybersec , which path i should choose , red team or blue team , any suggestions

[high raft]

neither

first Networking if you are not familiar with the basics

[tame sequoia]

networking -> linux essentials -> then thm room and htb

like this ?

[high raft]

i love self answer

[steady saddle]

tf is cutter lol

[steady saddle]

well depends on what u wanna do

[steady saddle]

networking and linux essentials will be found in both thm and htb lol

[high raft]

for linux essentials labex is good

it is practical

[high raft]

??

[steady saddle]

?

i asked what that is

[high raft]

i already got the answer

and it's secret

[steady saddle]

oh lmao 🤣

[high raft]

ask the owner who told me

[steady saddle]

owner of what

[high raft]

owner of my question reply

[steady saddle]

ok..? i don’t need to ask anything

i can do ctfs dw

[high raft]

good

[harsh saddle]

I honestly just want to grow my knowledge learning it is pretty fun and I'd like to add some more contracts to my pay any advice I currently work in a SOC?

[fossil basin]

Hi

Does anyone know what is vigorf.a ???

I know it's a trojan thats all what I know

Is anyone here?

[flat prawn]

Yes

[fossil basin]

Can you help me?

[flat prawn]

With what

[fossil basin]

With this trojan i got on my pc

I tried everything even recovering my pc but it doesn't allow me to

This trojan is using all of my pc resources

100% gbu usage

[deep topaz]

Oofff, windows machines?

[flat prawn]

Well hey emo

[fossil basin]

That's an big L for me i know 😂

[deep topaz]

Fancy seeing you here

[flat prawn]

Same to you as always

[deep topaz]

It’s whatever, is windows defender on?

[fossil basin]

Yes

But i already took the bait so

[deep topaz]

Have you forced a recent scan

[fossil basin]

I did do that yes

[steady saddle]

no, not just the msf thing

what do you know in general already

[deep topaz]

It should have isolated it. Did it detect as a file or process?

[fossil basin]

Yes it goes by the name of vigorf.a

Win32/vigorf.a

It's a trojan

[deep topaz]

Just win32? Yeah, it’s been going around for a bit. Windows didn’t isolate it?

[fossil basin]

Nah bro

I gave up and downloaded rufus

The point is if I deleted everything on my pc

Does this trojan go away?

Or it's going to stick around

[deep topaz]

Are you creating a new backup with the live infection?

[steady saddle]

if you factory reset from nothing

there’s a very low chance of it staying

though malware can stay after faftory resets and reinstalls

[fossil basin]

Not a live backup i dont need that

I started from the scratch

O don't need anything on my device

[fossil basin]

That's why I am using Rufus rn

A clean start

[deep topaz]

It should go away with a wipe and clean install

[fossil basin]

What a relief

Thx bro

That's all what I needed to hear

[steady saddle]

hopefully..

[deep topaz]

I’m just not sure why Defender didn’t catch it if it was up to date

[deep topaz]

Not trying to be unhelpful but it’s not a one size fits all task.

[flat prawn]

True

[ruby ermine]

dude

why did i got removed from this server

or not

[ruby ermine]

thats me btw

[steady saddle]

yeah i mean if you’re looking at it from a perspective of trying to simulate a normal user and not having the malware be a btch to you cuz it’s in a vm then pretty much everyone has secure boot on

or what side do you mean it from

no i’m drunk prly frm ym side

yes i have experience making sandboxes, but it depends on what’s the objective or reason you’re running the sandbox

if you’re testing malware, again you could have different objectives

if you’re testing for fun, it’s often irrelevant unless it’s specified the malware won’t work with sb cos it’s a bootkit or whateva

if you’re analyzing and trying to make it look like a normal users pc so the malware actually runs then probably best to keep secure boot on

as an average user will have it on

[chilly merlin]

i dont get ur curiosity but to each their own

[steady saddle]

again there’s no direct answer as i’ve said

depends on the malware you’re testing

yes it’s more common for secure boot to be on

[quiet wedge]

Hello. I’m new to learning cyber security and I’m trying to get Linux on my MacBook however that’s a no go. It keeps saying “Disk couldn't be opened, failed to mount filesystem”. Is there a way around this or should I just buy a new laptop and if so what are the best Linux computers? Thank you in advanced.

[steady saddle]

who tf tests bootkits or uefi level malware wit secure boot on lol

it’s obviously not going to work unless it uses some active cve

[chilly merlin]

i have not worked on mac but m sure someone else could help with that

[steady saddle]

google is dumb

[steady saddle]

that’s the point of secure boot

[chilly merlin]

*** by default ***

[steady saddle]

?

[steady saddle]

that’s for cloud environments

not malware analysis labs

point one is irrelevant

he was asking about malware sandboxes

🙃

[chilly merlin]

pretty sure it was disabled by default on flare

[quiet wedge]

What kind of computer do you use or recommend? I was planning on switching to another computer since apple is just a cash grab and not really working on the quality of their products while simultaneously having customers pay for their service and devices while also making their products annoying to use.

[woven anvil]

For doing what? Programming? SSHing? Web browsing?

Don't blame the tool

[quiet wedge]

For Programming.

[woven anvil]

Works great for programming

Just have a windows machine to compile on when needed

[quiet wedge]

So does it still work learning Linux?

[steady saddle]

oh

could’ve said that

way to ssieer

yes, check for it

average user will have it on

often more than not

[woven anvil]

SB is trivial to enable in 2025. I don't see why most cloud environments wouldn't be using it

[steady saddle]

also i’m sure you know what secure boot is or whatever knowledge you think i doubt idk why u need to keep saying that but i trust ya dw

[quiet wedge]

I am a complete beginner in this field. I just started is reading the Linux command line 2nd edition and it said to download through a distributor however when I do try it keeps saying “Disk couldn't be opened, failed to mount filesystem".

[woven anvil]

How did you learn Mac?

[quiet wedge]

I got that MacBook a few years ago.

Hello, I want to lock in learning for cyber security. Are there any guides and tips (certificates, videos to watch, articles to read, etc.) to start and learn efficiently for a whole year 2026

[woven anvil]

Do some scans, check your network traffic.
The things to check don't make sense unless you look into how they work in the first place. Can use malwarebytes to see if it finds anything.

[woven anvil]

Just pick something, start learning and don't stop.

[flat prawn]

for offsec, ideally what paths should i do in tryhackme? like should i stop at a certain pathway to move onto something like HTB?

[deep topaz]

Throw it up but it is Christmas. Everyone is probably out touching grass. It may be some time before the RIGHT person can get in here to help. Be patient.

[whole patio]

Just don't make it extra difficult for people to help you - put your question out there and allow people to see if they can chime in on that

Dont wait around for someone to say "Oh yeah I can help" and THEN tell what it is specifically you need help with

[sour stirrup]

oh yeah thats the good approach, mb!

so I’ve been assigned a web vulnerability scanner as my final-year project, and I’m struggling to figure out how to turn the concept into something that actually works and feels advanced enough.

The requirements include:

A BFS-based crawler to discover URLs, forms, and input fields

A scanner engine to test vulnerabilities like SQLi, XSS, directory traversal, open redirects, etc.

Security checks for SSL/TLS configuration and HTTP security headers

Scan results in JSON and PDF, with AI-generated explanations

A simple Python Tkinter GUI to run scans and export reports

On paper it sounds solid, but I’m stuck on the real issues:

How do I approach the coding without turning this into a messy script?
After building it, how do I properly validate that the scanner is actually detecting vulnerabilities?
How do I make this look advanced enough for a final-year submission

I’m aiming for a serious, well-structured student-level tool that makes sense technically.

[chilly merlin]

It's a server that only runs a Sons of the Forest server, as it could have been executed 🤔

https://imgur.com/a/02i5msG Chinese hacker, the network cards have changed

[woven anvil]

I assume you just have RDP open to WAN?
If so, then back up your files, and wipe.

then do it properly next time, blocking all access via firewall, and only using A VPN for administration

[chilly merlin]

I'm going to switch to Ubuntu with pterodactyl Windows is giving me a lot of problems.

[woven anvil]

Your Linux machine is going to get hacked if you do the same stuff.

Ubuntu with RDP open to the WAN is just as bad as Windows with RDP open to the WAN

Understand and use a Firewall, and a VPN (You can use Zerotier/Tailscale/Netbird if you don't want to set up the VPN yourself)

[chilly merlin]

My hosting provider suggests connecting via SSH using an SSH key.

[woven anvil]

While SSH + SSH Key is significantly more secure than RDP, a VPN is going to be even moreso. With a VPN, people can't even try attempting to attack your SSH/RDP ports because they would need to connect to the VPN first.

Plus, most of the time these gameservers have insecure ports like rcon or whatever that you want to access. You can do those over VPN as well.

[chilly merlin]

Thank you for your feedback.

[woven anvil]

And if you are going ubuntu or anything with Docker, then check if your provider offers a firewall. Docker typically overrides the host firewall.

[lavish ember]

Alr sure do

[lavish ember]

Ai is the only traininer i have

[flat prawn]

Yes possible just don’t ask something unethical here or you might get banned for not following rules

[flat prawn]

Use try hack me to start

[lavish ember]

Oh okei sorry man

[lavish ember]

Sure do but i need to buy premium

[flat prawn]

I don’t have premium

[lavish ember]

We don't need premium?

[flat prawn]

bro unless you want to

There are enough free resources out there to teach you exactly what you are asking

Anyways I gtg 🫡

[lavish ember]

Sure man thx for the advice

[deep topaz]

You should change the name before @lost vapor sees ya

That probably won’t go well

[lavish ember]

Doin it now

[queen quail]

hi

[woven anvil]

@queen quail
Check out the #📜・rules , then ask if it won't break them

[queen quail]

alright

[deep topaz]

Getting ahead of the questions, well played.

[queen quail]

I think I can ask this,
so there is this guy in my neighborhood who's father is in jail, he basically got framed, he can be claimed innocent but all the evidence is inside his Gmail or so but they can't get it cause someone from his pharmaceutical company conveniently hacked his Gmail and took control is what the son is saying.
then he asked another of my friend to hack the mail back.
to prove his father's innocence or something.
so I was thinking that it's just grey right? not fully black? or am I wrong. I think I am

[whole patio]

bonus points for creativity, but no

[queen quail]

first of it's not a story 😂 his father's face is on the news as well.
and secondly, I see, I should stay away from them for the time being in case they do something risky.

[deep topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-no-nope-gif-5413974953753901704

[queen quail]

c'mon guys don't be so mean, I'm just new in all of this, taking literally baby steps.
I might believe someone's explanation at a face value. that's why I was askingggg

gosh

[woven anvil]

Regardless of any reasoning behind it, you are asking to gain unauthorized access to a Google account on a Google server. It would be unethical for us to assist, and most likely very difficult.

[untold owl]

So if I wanna learn to be a hacker. (I’m asking professionals or someone who is actually learning). Where do I start my learning from? I was thinking of networking and coding…like Python

[deep topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-illegal-bear-bearinsuit-gif-24994832

@queen quail

[queen quail]

alrightyyy

[whole patio]

Let me sum it up

"<any words>, so help me hack a gmail account" is not going to fly

[queen quail]

okay but what they should do, nobody believes them specially police and lawyers, the guy tried to talk to them but they kinda shrugged him off cause he is an c4riminal's son. any idea? ethical methods???
or else he might do this illegal thing.

[whole patio]

The scope of this server to be any influence on the story arc you tell us is quite limited

[queen quail]

again it's not a story

and I wouldn't say such a lame pathetic story 🙄

[woven anvil]

Regardless, stop asking here.
We can not assist.

[queen quail]

I see

okay

[whole patio]

again, it is - to us. Everyone who comes here asking who can hack this gmail/insta/snapchat/steam/whatever tells a sob story. In the end you are using a public and monitored forum to ask who is willing to commit a felony for you on a pinky-swear and we are way past the point of believing anyone any of it

[queen quail]

holy shit no I was literally asking for an ethical alternative idea.

[whole patio]

No you were looking for a cop out to get what you want regardless

[queen quail]

nope, I just wanted to get some idea to make my friend stop doing that shit what might put his ass in jail as well

[whole patio]

And I said "The scope of this server to be any influence on the story arc you tell us is quite limited"

If you dislike the "story arc" part of that sentence, feel free to ignore it - the rest still is true

[queen quail]

again no and no

[dawn galleon]

Sooo hey... I need some help (If this isn’t the right channel, mods please let me know.). I was scammed and lost about 5k in euro, and I’m trying to see if I can get it back.. the person involved is related to someone I previously dated, and they were involved in the situation. I do still have some relevant chat messages, if needed i can provide with all info i know/managed to get. Also the scam happened few years back but my bank account was locked at the start of this year, so i would like to learn how to locate that scammingass of a brother or somehow get my money back. what I'm asking is probably illegal but i am willing to accept the consciences of my actions ( I doubt that ''breaking '' (i still got the keys) into the place is less illegal) .

[whole patio]

#📜・rules apply, and there is nothing anyone here can do for you. Probably you are going to get DMs from scammers now, trying to promise you a solution.

[dawn galleon]

Ah i see, my apologies for breaking the rules.. i jus wanted to know if it possible.

[ocean forge]

It may be somewhat stupid but could anyone get the Conan Exiles Caldur map, interactive? its a new release i want to see where i can find things at ♥

[chilly merlin]

What books would you guys reccommend to help with learning hacking/cybersecurity

[quiet wedge]

Also Second this question.

[ashen parcel]

Any suggestions on laptops i should get to start my hacking career i got a pc but i cant set it up in my current crib

[junior jackal]

I'm also learning, so I'll say what you really need for now.
Linux Basics for Hackers, The Windows Command Line for Beginners, [Learn Networking and How the Internet work] ~ it's not a book, more like the fruit of online courses and your own research.
That should do for fundamentals, before moving to CTFs.

My Colleague would point out discrepancies, if there's any

[deep topaz]

Anything from NoStarch. Linux Basics for Hackers and Network Basics for Hackers by OTW

@chilly merlin @quiet wedge

[deep topaz]

Literally any laptop should be fine. Depends on your $$$ and needs.

[ashen parcel]

Max im tryna spend is like 4-500 and im tryna do enough labs to land a entry level role if its even possible

[deep topaz]

I'll let some of the other more senior folks, who work with and hire folks on the reg speak to "landing a entry level role"
Anything with an internet connection.

If you can get to Hack the Box or Try Hack me you're on your way.

[languid mason]

I know this isn't the right space necessarily but is anyone familiar with blender that could help me trouble shoot why the program is freezing?

[woven anvil]

linux?

@stray notch
Don't ask for unethical stuff here. Read our #📜・rules

[languid mason]

no, windows 11, though I plan to migrate at some point

my CPU, GPU, and memory are fine and my graphics drivers are updated

I cleared my download cashe and redownloaded it too, still no dice

[woven anvil]

laptop?

[languid mason]

nope, PC with a ryzen 9700 and a RTX 3080

[woven anvil]

Games work ok?

[languid mason]

yeah, everything else works fine

I pasted a picture in there as a plane and it started freezing up, so I did all the normal steps to troubleshoot and nothing worked so far

[woven anvil]

I would make an issue on their github maybe.
It looks like a few people have had somewhat similar issues, and it looks like they have a .cmd that will produce logs that can maybe more easily used to find out what the issue is.
https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues
Specifically, i see them mention a blender_debug_log.cmd and a blender_debug_gpu_glitchworkaround.cmd

[languid mason]

thank you

Hi everyone ...
I’m very new to cybersecurity and ethical hacking or general in programming... like, total beginner.
I’ve checked the resources, but I get overwhelmed learning alone.
I learn better when I have structure or small tasks to work on with others.

Is there any beginner-friendly path, study group, or team where I can learn step by step and actually practice?
I’m serious about learning, just need a good starting direction.

[flat prawn]

I mean have you checked out new members guide and free resources?

[plain star]

I tried but there were too many of them..

[flat prawn]

Report it? Local authorities ig

[flat prawn]

like you got overwhelmed?

Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev
Automount devtmpfs at /dev , Block devices -- everything is correct, pci express support is on,, SCSI disk support have , NVM Express block device have and multipath support also, The Extended 4 (ext4) filesystem also, (/sbin/init) Default init process also

also the framebuffers, and printk settings

guys if a professional is here helpp

ai and google cant solve this problem

[woven anvil]

It would help if you actually told us what the problem is, instead of just saying how "high league" it is.

But also remember, that this is a cybersecurity learning discord, not a linux support discord.

unless all the details is "im crashing on a hardened kernel"

[whole patio]

Just start somewhere, this whole field is overwhelming, if it is too much, back to basics.. start with fundamental IT knowledge, linux, networking.. you are not supposed to understand everything right away, this is not an entry level field

But let me tell you this much.. no one is going to guide you or explain everything to you.. there are a lot of people who want that done to them, and no one who wants to do it.
See, the thing is.. you gotta be able to dive into new material on your own anyway.. read the documentation, set up or find test environments, all the time.. if that is something you are not ready or willing to do, then this is not the field for you

This is part of the skillset required

I, personally, recommend that people, first and foremost, get good at effective notekeeping.. how to write stuff down in a way that will still make sense to you later

[plain star]

my problem is that I lose focus really easily... I've tried a lot of things but It's just that I cant keep up for long time.. I do way better when Im uder pressure or I have deadline or some.. or I have a certine work to finishh

[craggy fractal]

Could anyone explain the CVE-2025-55182

[whole patio]

Neurospicy people are not uncommon in this field

[woven anvil]

Do you also always feel "out of place" in most social situations?

Like everyone is in on a joke that you aren't?

[plain star]

lets talk about other mental problems some other time bro..🥲🥲 I have a long list for that..

[whole patio]

My 2nd advice for notekeeping.. assume its in preparation to either make course material for others, or for clients, or for coworkers that have to continue the work later, etc.. cause maybe with time that is exactly what you need to be good at

[woven anvil]

As Eris said, it is common for our type to be gravitated towards something that makes us feel like we are solving puzzles.
Find the puzzle that makes your brain light up.

It is also a skill, you can apply everywhere in life
