im gonna use it for cyber security

[steady ledge]

nah dw ryzen 7 5825U + 16gb RAM is great for programming, cybersecurity labs, VMs and daily use

nocap

[deep quail]

Exactly, do you know how to configure LDAPS on it?

[steady ledge]

I think i do, you willl need to import the ca certificate, set the LDAP server to use LDAPS (at port 636 ), and enable SSL/TLS in the auth settings ✌️

[deep quail]

I've done all that, but it's still not working; I suspect a domain name resolution issue.

[crude wraith]

Hey, been enjoying this server a lot, however with discord news thats been around it made me concerned with trusting the platform.

Does this server have another website/community elsewhere where I can still be apart of? As I am heavily considering deleting discord.

Greatly appreciate it!

[karmic carbon]

Good Morning, I would like to learn about using ai agent for automation and I’m not sure where to start. Does anybody have any advice?

[steady ledge]

If you suspect dns, try resolving the domain directly from the firewall and make sure it’s using the correct dns server

also verify if da certificate CN/SAN matches the FQDN you’re using for LDAPS, IP won’t work if the cert is name based

[steady ledge]

I don't think theres an official external forum or site sadly

but you could ask any staff for confirm

[blissful sonnet]

no

[blissful sonnet]

buy claude pro or claude max, then download openclaw, set it up connected to your claude account, give it an identity and purpose (to automate things), then go automate shit with it

[deep quail]

On this firewall, in the directory server settings, you can't enter a domain name, only an IP address. Even though I've added my DNS server to the firewall settings, my firewall still can't resolve any DNS names.

[crude wraith]

Nonetheless I appreciate it, Thank you Vulnerobling, and Ruin. 🙏

[steady ledge]

If the firewall itself can’t resolve DNS names, the issue is likely global dns config, not LDAPS

you should make sure the DNS server is reachable (ping/test from the firewall), the firewall has the correct default gateway and if DNS queries (i think UDP/TCP 53) are allowed by policy

Guys i need help. I am using my 2nd win11 laptop as a extended monitor to my fedora host. Using two at a time is confusing and tiring. Now i just want to use only one and make the 2nd act as just a monitor. Does anybody have an idea?

[blissful sonnet]

check apps with accessibility permissions or lots of permissions, any suspicious/not recognized ones should be removed, you can also pull the filesystem and scan it manually that way
realistically malware is not easy to find, impossible if you dont have forensics and malware analysis experience, the best thing you can do is reset the phone

[blissful sonnet]

go display settings and choose the "extend" option, if you want both screens to be usable

[whole patio]

Thats a dumb idea

Apart from you being easy to scare have you found any indication that it is actually a problem?

[sharp sleet]

hey guys

I’m doing the PortSwigger lab “Blind SQL injection with conditional errors” (Oracle backend).

In the previous lab, we used AND to inject boolean conditions.
In this one, we’re using string concatenation with || and a scalar subquery.

My confusion is:
Since WHERE id = 'xyz' is already a boolean condition, why can’t we just inject AND (CASE WHEN condition THEN 1/0 ELSE 1 END=1) instead of using concatenation?

What exactly prevents AND from being used here? Is it Oracle syntax rules, scalar subquery limitations, or just lab design?

[frail flax]

AND works only in a boolean context

[manic dune]

anyone know/ familiar with AI automation?

[frail flax]

and here your injection point is inside a string expression, not in a boolean context expression if that makes a sense

[sharp sleet]

We are breaking the string expression with '

the previous lab I did it with AND so i do not know what is the differnece

[sharp sleet]

yeah a little bit

[sharp sleet]

we are in a WHERE clause

I asked chatgpt it kept saying it is because the database it Oracle but I do not know I feel something is wrong

[woven anvil]

how is WHERE id='xyz' a boolean condition?

it gives a boolean true/false as a result, but its a string comparitor

[manic dune]

can we connect? coz i want to lean ai automation

[sharp sleet]

I am not doing 1=1, I am doing something like this: xyz' AND (SELECT CASE WHEN (Username = 'Administrator' AND SUBSTRING(Password, 1, 1) > 'm') THEN 1/0 ELSE 'a' END FROM Users)='a

[woven anvil]

So you mean the AND (SELECT CASE...)?

[frail flax]

what surrounds your input in a final query? I dont see the code , I am not sure where is the issue exactly

[sharp sleet]

I would love to help you but I don't think I can I just watched a simple video on youtube and did simple project with n8n

[sharp sleet]

yup

[sharp sleet]

In the previous lab, we injected like this:

xyz' AND SUBSTRING((SELECT password FROM users WHERE username='administrator'),1,1)='s

So we were modifying the WHERE clause using AND.

But in this lab, the payload looks like this:

xyz'||(SELECT CASE WHEN (username='administrator' AND SUBSTRING(password,1,1)>'m') 
THEN 1/0 ELSE 'a' END FROM users)||'

Here we’re using string concatenation || instead of AND.

My confusion is:

Why can’t we just use AND like in the previous lab?
Why do we need concatenation in this case, even though the explanation still uses AND inside the subquery?

Is this because of Oracle syntax rules, or because the injection point is in a different context?

[manic dune]

ohhh okay thanks

[frail flax]

Because in the previous lab your input extended a WHERE condition, so AND worked, but in your second lab, your input is part of a string, not condiiton, therefore you must use | | to concatenate the case expression instead of AND

[sharp sleet]

I still can’t get my head around it.

Couldn’t I still extend the WHERE clause in this lab like before?

For example, instead of relying on a boolean condition, I could inject something like:

AND CASE WHEN condition THEN 1/0 ELSE 1 END = 1

That way, I would still trigger an error when the condition is true.

[woven anvil]

Spin up a database, and test it out

can use docker desktop if you want

[sharp sleet]

Actually It worked my syntax wasn’t quite correct

Sorry for the hassle

[frail flax]

The problem isnt the error logic, its AND which is not allowed at that position in the query, but concatenation is allowed so, yes that's how you trigger the error to get condition true

Hey everyone.

Yesterday, I noticed that my VPS had high utilization caused by an unknown process.
I don’t know how it started.
I don’t know what it is. Someone said it might be a crypto bot.
But how could it have reached my server?
Can anyone help me understand this?

It was hosted in OVH. It didn't had ufw or cloud firewall enabled.
It had internet access and everything.
Ssh was running in the default 22 port.

No everything was exposed i guess

Sorry if not being specific.
I don't have that much experience in this.

Ufw was disabled and cloud firewall was disabled.
That's what my friend told me.
He purchased and managed this.

After I mentioned this he reinstalled the vps.

[blissful sonnet]

not very smart

ovh exposes to the internet

[whole patio]

Its not everything exposed, if there is no service running on a port.. also the process is hardly "unknown", you can check the running processes and see which one it is. btop is a nice tool for that

so unless we know which services are out with their butt on the internet, we dont know how someone might get in,

[blissful sonnet]

"Ufw was disabled and cloud firewall was disabled"

[whole patio]

yeah but that doesnt tell us anything

[crisp star]

Well since the VPS has been reinstalled, I guess we won't see the logs anymore

[whole patio]

If there is no service to pick up the phone when you try to reach a service, then it doesn't matter

[blissful sonnet]

tells us he completely disabled his firewall while his server was exposed to the internet

[whole patio]

so what was the server for? As in what service did it offer?

[blissful sonnet]

well he doesnt know cuz he reinstalled it so

not sure why were even asking questions

[glacial canyon]

He didn't configure anything in the first place.
It was in a disabled state.

I just wanted to run my first react app on the internet.

😅😅

[blissful sonnet]

u dont need to disable firewall to host a react app

[whole patio]

focus, grasshopper.. answer the repeated questions, not just the ones you like 😛

[crisp star]

I would not trust him anymore to run anything he hosts lol

[turbid glacier]

i think this discussion will not lead anywhere. he wiped all evidence by reinstalling anyway.
lets discuss again when it is pwned again 🙂

[glacial canyon]

I didn't disable that.
It was like that when I checked.

My friend said it was okay. There is nothing to worry about.

And I was like okay it's his account and I'm just using it for a week so .

[blissful sonnet]

this whole thing is hilarious

ur friends dumb

anyways

moving on

[glacial canyon]

😅😅

I now realise how big of a mistake that was

Make sure you have proper authorization and that the domain is in scope, If its deployed on Vercel yo should focus on testing the application itself (logic, auth, input validation) and not the hosting infrastructure

Do they have authorization to attack a server they do not own on a network they do not own?

[mint merlin]

Hey guys can someone give me an advice regarding this:

I want to start from now as 16 years old and learn about cyber security and every essential necessary thing for future job (penetration tester) but I’m afraid if I’ll not learn enough and therefore not get a job or not be good enough or miss something. What should I do and learn from now that will absolutely help me and not waste my time on not important stuff.
And lastly should I also have Certification, is yes which ?
Thank you

[whole patio]

Same answer as we give all the other people asking.. #👥・new-member-guide
I also like to reiterate that pentesting is not an entry level job, and you would be smart to aim for something more mundane.. which would become over time a potential stepping stone into pentesting

And yes, certifications go a long way.. afterwards

[mint merlin]

I’m already on THM and I have premium one. But I’m still stressing

[whole patio]

that doesn't mean much

Feel free to stress yourself, but you have a lot of time here

[mint merlin]

How can I make sure that I’m not wasting time ? Could you help me with that?

[mint merlin]

I thought I started late lol many people start at 14

[whole patio]

Why are you in a hurry here? Cause let me tell you.. no one is looking for young pentesters out there

way too many young people try to, pretty much none of them find employment cause they lack real world experience

You Have Time

[mint merlin]

Ohh no that’s not what I mean, I didn’t say I want to work as pentester right now I meant in future maybe 22+ but I’m stressing from now

[whole patio]

yeah you did

[blissful sonnet]

"start and learn"

wants to start from now learning cybersecurity

is what he meant

[whole patio]

so do what worked for the majority of people... get an adjacent job.. could be any number of things.. some are programmers, some worked help desk, sysadmins.. and quite a few come from finance or vocational activities

build yourself some options

[blissful sonnet]

u have nothing to stress about lmao, just pick a path, follow it, complete rooms, make notes, if you dont understand something the first time, do it again, etc

eventually it all clicks

[mint merlin]

Thank you ruin

[mint merlin]

I’ll do my best

[whole patio]

this isnt naruto, relax

Most pentesters I know a little have had anything but straight career paths .. and turned into it 30+

I know a lot of IT professionals who freely admit they don't have what it takes to become a pentester.. this is not an entry level job

[mint merlin]

Oh okay idk why I’m stressing man

[whole patio]

If you have no idea how implementations are done in the real world, how organisations work, don't know any industry to specialize in.. you won't be of use to anyone..

Start with a plan to build youself some options if the original plan does not work out

[mint merlin]

Thank you man

dont know if i can get any help here from this but i am constantly getting hacked on discord its like they are posting as me in servers and being able to message my friends malware links but they havent signed in as me its like they are signed in already even after i kick all sessions and i have 2fa on and everything kind of a last ditch effort here for me before i just nuke the account this has happend 4 times now

[steady ledge]

revoke all sessions, change your password, remove suspicious apps, scan your devices for malware, and contact Discord support if it keeps happening. don’t click any sus links

[whole patio]

and stop downloading cracked games or weird mods

[rain sluice]

Hey! Just giving you an update. I kept updating my terminal and just kept doing it until completion, after 100% it seems that my disconnecting wifi has stopped. Thank you very much! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[steady ledge]

Glad to hear!!!

[rain sluice]

The irony of mimic like actions mimicking an account by the name MimicBBX 🥲 Hope it all gets resolved sooner than later. I've had this similar thing happen to me recently. I changed passwords multiple times and resulted in changing the email for the account as well. If discord allows this, which I think it does. Try that route after killing all sessions and all that good stuff. Change/reset your form of 2fa, basically everything without nuking it completely. Best of luck to you and your account.

[whole patio]

you either moved or deleted the file

[prisma kettle]

i dont know what that is

[prisma kettle]

how to check?

also which file

[whole patio]

go to the location the error messages tells you where it is looking for the .vdi and then whisper into your microphone "are you there, file?"

[prisma kettle]

well there is no file there

[whole patio]

there you have it - you either moved or deleted it

[prisma kettle]

so what do i do

there are other files there

[whole patio]

if you moved it - move it back. If you deleted it - start over

[prisma kettle]

i didnt moce or delete so where do i start over from?

[whole patio]

See the thing is.. yeah you did. You do not have to convince me you did not - you have to convince your computer that you did not

[prisma kettle]

yea true

delete vm or kali?

[whole patio]

cause it is looking for the file there and its not there. So delete the VM in virtualbox, and start from the beginning

[prisma kettle]

ohk

thanks bro

[modern pond]

Hi all, this may be the wrong place.
But I want to start diving into my network fundamentals but prefer to have labs to help it stick. Do you guys know of any resources? Trying to stay away from cisco

seems like you didn't delete the VM in virtualbox

btw. feel free to stop with the "bro" thing .. kinda cringe

[prisma kettle]

ohk how do i delete the vm

[whole patio]

open virtualbox..

select the vm

Hey! I’ve been doing some beginner CTFs and want to get better at writing writeups. What’s your advice for making them easy to read, well-structured, and useful for learning?

[zenith monolith]

Greetings everyone . please help me out with this link got it from a friends its for a game

[crisp star]

Defang the URL please

@lost vapor @slow edge Better remove the link. Else someone is going to download the malware by accident.

[slow edge]

Thanks for letting us know 🫡

[lost vapor]

@zenith monolithdon't distribute links that are malicious over here

[zenith monolith]

sorry was trying to get help i wont send anymore

[lost vapor]

thank you

[blissful sonnet]

learn Markdown, its a text formatting language

for example here is a header

here is a subheader

here is text that is bolded and italic'd

here is bold text

here is non-bolded italic text

https://www.markdownguide.org/getting-started/

[next bough]

Thanks. But I want tips on how you write a write up and what the structure should be like.

[blissful sonnet]

literally go and read ANY threat intelligence/malware analysis report

recent examples:

[next bough]

okay. 👍

[blissful sonnet]

go on thehackernews.com, find an article that is interesting, and look for the hyperlink that references the original report, usually its something like "This new threat, while only seen in a limited number of rather targeted campaigns, already poses a great risk to the users of mobile banking, allowing its operators to remotely control infected devices and perform device takeover attacks with further fraudulent transactions performed from the victim's banking accounts," the Dutch mobile security company said in a report shared with The Hacker News."

"the Dutch mobile security company said in a report shared with The Hacker News"

https://thehackernews.com/2026/02/fake-iptv-apps-spread-massiv-android.html

the "said" is hyperlinked in blue to the original report: https://www.threatfabric.com/blogs/massiv-when-your-iptv-app-terminates-your-savings

the original report has more information and can show you how threat reports/blog posts are formatted

@blissful sonnet Thanks for the resources.

ive been reading those everyday and i just noticed that, thanks man

[blissful sonnet]

welcome

[spring rain]

Hi, there is someone who use my card and spend 250€ on temu and I would like someone to help me on how to find some info about who might the person be

[blissful sonnet]

contact the fraud department

[junior jasper]

who has 4+tb

[spring rain]

Thank you, but was asking cause I suspect it might be a classmate in my uni class so is there any way?

If not, no problem

[blissful sonnet]

no

we dont help with that

[blissful sonnet]

cloud services

[rain sluice]

I would talk to your Uni and see if they can assist you with your case

[blissful sonnet]

do that also

[spring rain]

Ok no problem

[spring rain]

The problem is the uni literally doesn't give shit for nothing so I don't think they will do something

[blissful sonnet]

nothing you can do then

[spring rain]

But I hope the fraud department do something

[blissful sonnet]

contact your bank and the relevant authorities

[spring rain]

Yeah will do it tomorrow morning cause now is midnight

But anyway thanks again

[rain sluice]

Present the matters in a way that it may have a cause and effect either with other students or possibly even the Uni. Might be more concerning if the case was presented as, they may or may not have done this to multiple students other than myself(you).

[spring rain]

Well I will try it and speak with them, see what they can do

[rain sluice]

And also take it up with your bank. The sooner is better. If it was recemt, the transactions will still be pending over the weekend and you wont be able to necessarily get them reversed, yet. First thing Monday morning get on the phone with your bank again to dispute the matters, but do get in contact with your bank now to let them know.

[spring rain]

The transaction was 3 to 4 hours ego and right away I spoke with the bank support to let them now and already withdraw the rest of money from my account, and first thing in the morning I will go and speak to my bank

[rain sluice]

There you go! Good luck with the reset of what needs to be done. You shouldn't have any worries over the weekend. Just set a reminder from Monday morning, because I know I'd likely forget being over the weekend and all. For the most part, enjoy your weekend.

[spring rain]

And you to hope you have a good weekend, goodnight and thanks once agia

[crisp star]

Guess reading #💬・old-gen-chat was not enough for you to understand the word "no".

[bright sonnet]

Sorted it out.

[modern pond]

Ty for this

[carmine oracle]

[lilac goblet]

Afternoon all, completely new here and just wanted to say hiiii.

[whole patio]

#💬・old-gen-chat is a great place to do so - unless you have a question or want someone help out with their question, best to keep it separate from #👥・help-me

[lilac goblet]

soz my bad 🙁

[whole patio]

No problem at all. It's just that this place is prone to questions being overlooked, if there is smalltalk 😉

[north fog]

Can someone please help me

I have exhibition on 26th and My project is a phishing simulator on localhost.

Can someone help me build it? I have no clue of how to develop a website

[vast cloak]

Hello all, can someone guide me on how I can test for server side vulnerabilities and deployment vulnerabilities of a website if I have physical access to it? Open to any and all methods, it's a Moodle website and yes it is an institution's website, was challenged by my internship mentor to see if I could crack it. Would be very grateful for any help.

Dms are open or you can reply in this thread. Whichever one you prefer.

[whole patio]

Physical access as in.. what exactly?

[torpid jungle]

Are you supposed to have learned by now?

[vast cloak]

Im in the lab where the server that's hosting the website is located.

And I can fuck around with it as much as I want

Provided I don't crash the whole thing

The task is to retrieve my mentor's password

[whole patio]

That's the thing.. burn it, steal it, kick it.. what's the situation here

[north fog]

I made one with help of gemini on xampp, but the whole data base got corrupted because of windows and now my inital project is gone

[vast cloak]

.

[whole patio]

Do you have any access to the system?

[north fog]

And I also actually wanna leaarn how it works and how to develop

[torpid jungle]

Yes, okay. But have you already had a subject where you were supposed to have learned to make websites?

[vast cloak]

Yup, kind of. Im pretty sure it's hosted on a proxmox vm and I know the admin root username and password for it

She's not giving me any clues other than I have all I need to try to crack it

[north fog]

Unfortunately no, I'm a first year student

[vast cloak]

There's tools that have already built phishing websites of most common pages. Check it online

I don't remember the name atm

[north fog]

I asked if it's okay to use tools like go phish

[vast cloak]

@whole patio any suggestions?

[north fog]

They said it's okay but I'd need to figure out what to answer when asked what did I make

[north fog]

In IT. So yea, they are teaching us basic c for now

[torpid jungle]

It’s kinda weird that they’re asking you to make a phishing website.

[vast cloak]

I get that. But even if you can't learn to code the website by then(which would be fairly easy to do) you can just copy the code from online.

[whole patio]

I kinda not want to get involved, tbh

Same as with Renmei

[vast cloak]

Alright, understandable. Have a nice day.

[north fog]

They didn't. I chose that initially and my project was working too

Then my database started giving errors

[torpid jungle]

Oh, got it. Well, it sounds like the subject is for learning to build a website and you decided to use AI. Sorry you’re on your own.

[north fog]

Alright, Thanks

[mint merlin]

Guys people always recommend me to daily use Linux.
But I don’t know what to do on Linux VMware.
What do yall recommend me to do on it daily even if it’s fo half an hour

[silver niche]

I need help making some money chat, please can y’all a YN out?

[olive hull]

If you find any plug me up

[blazing vine]

Is there a way to hide that your the owner of a discord

[edgy gyro]

Hey everyone, which certification would you recommend as a first junior red teaming cert — eJPT or PJPT?

Crto 1 and 2 ??? Sorry! but I didn't get it, wdym by that
Yeahhh Ik before going for OSCP
I want to go with a junior cert and next PNPT --> OSCP

[whole patio]

Humam Sakhnini, is that you?

[edgy gyro]

Ohhh okayyy bro thnx

[whole patio]

Using it.. if you dont know what to do, try to replicate your host PC in linux.. as if it were a machine you actually use

[whole patio]

the cheaper one

[blazing vine]

Just pro crusaders

[whole patio]

then you are not the owner of a discord

they are, but they give you a leg up in conversations - when it comes to employment, I usually recommend to go with the one that companies in your area are looking for. But do you know a lot of people that simply started with OSCP?

[uneven pawn]

Hi there, I was wondering if someone could help me download a software that is not available in my country. I’m very interested in learning this technology, but unfortunately I don’t have access to IBM QRadar Community Edition. I would really appreciate any assistance. Please dm me

[mint merlin]

I wanted to do that already but I usually get to work on word etc so i need windows for that. Otherwise I would have alredy replaced it

[whole patio]

I've never attempted the oscp, but I've heard that its, lets be honest, not the best content wise

[mint merlin]

Ohh so there will be no issues making homework’s ? If I’ll be able to use Linux as main and use windows as vm while being able to make homework’s on vm windows the I’ll switch rn lol

[steady ledge]

Did you try using a VPN? (i suppose yes)

[whole patio]

well it will still have the limitations of most free VMs, when it comes to hardware access level

I am not a pentester and never intended to switch.. but I got asked so often whether I am, that I went through PNPT and eJPT and did the exam for the last one, just so I can tell people "Certified, yes, but non-practising"

[mint merlin]

Then that’s great I’ll do it now I’ll switch it, and I’ll try it if it don’t work I’ll with to windows again why not lol

[whole patio]

Also I can't stomach artifical scenarios in most boxes

[mint merlin]

Well my homework’s aren’t that huge or complicated they are usually simple so idk

[whole patio]

what I am trying to say is - no playing somewhat demanding games in a windows VM

[mint merlin]

Oh if that’s what you mean then don’t worry I don’t even play games

Thanks tho

It’s laptop anyways

Well thank you for letting me know lol that’s very good.

Btw which Linux should I be installing as main OS?

[limpid musk]

Hi guys which Linux should I install for a beginner

[limpid musk]

Bro😂

[whole patio]

used to have excel installed in linux ^^
This was my "kali undercover" project for a while

[limpid musk]

And in what should I install virtual box or where?

[whole patio]

the old office 2007 worked great emulated.. with the 32 bit support getting EOLed though my old licences no longer work

[mint merlin]

Alright I’ll probably install Ubuntu or Debian I don’t like fedora.
I gotta see an YouTube tutorial on how to install it as main OS lol, thank you so much

[whole patio]

I was in financial controlling for over a decade.. I use excel virtually everywhere

[limpid musk]

Guys what are other ways to get Linux other than virtual box

[mystic egret]

how can i get behind a anonymous caller

[whole patio]

any hypervisor will work

[mint merlin]

Dual boot and Main os

[mystic egret]

ight

[whole patio]

But while I am not a pentester by trade.. I feel my working knowledge in the field is slightly above average.. certainly enough to talk eye to eye.. I'm an infosec consultant, all I really need is slightly higher working knowledge in most of the adjacent fields

[limpid musk]

@mint merlin imma Install one that you are which Linux are you getting

[mint merlin]

I’m probably installing Ubuntu, it’s easy and good one

[limpid musk]

Alr

[mint merlin]

I thought you were pentester, what are you then if I may ask?

[whole patio]

I just told you 😉

infosec consultant

[mint merlin]

Never heard of that let me search rq

[limpid musk]

@whole patio I want to become pentester I mean I wanna learn red team

[mint merlin]

Oh that’s great

[whole patio]

It actually is.. I get to do all the fun parts

[mint merlin]

Is it hard ?

But isn’t penetration testing/erhical hacking part of red team so technically you did?

[whole patio]

I mostly deal with healthcare clients, .. tough crowd, but I have the knack

[whole patio]

Everything is simple, if you know how to do it. The question is if you know what you are talking about, regardless of what a client needs.. I'd say its not trivial, if you want to do it right

[mint merlin]

Okay fair enough

[whole patio]

The truth is that many of the things consultants are asked to do is not really difficult, it may just be new to the clients. But if you want to be a consultant people call if the stuff gets hairy, then it takes a while to get there

[mint merlin]

I never have understood the work that a red team does.

[limpid musk]

Fr

[whole patio]

Imagine pentesting as OSHA inspectors .. yellow vest.. checklist.. all above board

Red teaming on the other hand is mimicking attackers

[brisk frost]

Pretend to be bad boi hacking into company, test the blue team, easy

[mint merlin]

That’s fun

[limpid musk]

Is red team good for work I mean for job are that kind of jobs wanted?

[mint merlin]

Isn’t that already what and pentester does ?

[whole patio]

Actually not, no

[brisk frost]

Pentester tests system, red team test blue team:)

[mint merlin]

Okay I get it

[whole patio]

it is, above anything else... not an entry level job.. I'd say it comes after pentesting, which also already is not an entry level job

[mint merlin]

Thanks for explaining I now understand

Going to install Ubuntu now

I’ll let you know when I’m finished

[whole patio]

red teaming may include lots of stuff, that is not strictly by the books.. various ways to gain entry to objects.. going the extra mile to compromise a client.. maybe drop a couple of malicious usb drives in the parking lot.. or send a client manipulated keyboards.. kinda depends on what the client is trying to test.. but in some cases those lucky few red teamers get card blanche to really try and see how far an actual attacker could get

[dim flax]

Hi chat, which GPU I should get for budget options? RTX 3060 12GB or 5060 8GB (currently available in the physical store)

[mint merlin]

ahhh so red team is more realistic attack?

[whole patio]

controls and guidelines and procedures only get you so far in finding out how secure you are

[brisk frost]

Why is that a question? 5060

[dim flax]

Great

[whole patio]

And that is where I can just get to do the fun stuff.. I can hold workshops on "find the listening device in this room", or lockpicking.. or devise a way to simulate a ransomware attack for awareness reasons.. all without the pressure 😉

[mint merlin]

I like red team

[whole patio]

Mostly I coach the (information) security officers

[brisk frost]

Coach meeee

[whole patio]

not outside a work contract ^^

[mint merlin]

I like it even though I know it requires a lot of knowledge and efforts to become red team, but I’m ready I’m still young I’ll do my best to become one

[brisk frost]

Aww man

[whole patio]

join a local hack space.. might find some interesting people there

[brisk frost]

It requires creativity, you are getting paid to be the bad guy

On paper

[whole patio]

My SO is pentester and soc analyst.. and most clients I coach have no realllllly indepth topics

I do workshops for fun at a few ccc adjacent events from time to time though

[brisk frost]

._.

[whole patio]

there is a non-trivial client base who wants you to test the stuff they are confident about purely for compliance reasons.. it can get tedious to be a pentester

[mint merlin]

Since I find you very knowledgeable about this. May ask an advice from you to me,
What do you advice me to do from now to do that will help me in future.
Just to let you know I’m still 16

I see, thank you man

[whole patio]

Told you, you have time

[brisk frost]

Yeah I wouldn't do that but alright

[mint merlin]

I really do lol, I just need to not waste it

[whole patio]

honestly waste away

[mint merlin]

I’ll just focus for now on improving myself in Linux fundamentals and networking fundamentals.

Maybe then learn python and java

[mint merlin]

Why

[brisk frost]

Linux is not the most important thing to learn at the start

[whole patio]

cause
a) it matters way less than your think, and
b) soft skills, people skills, a general knowledge, is just as important

[mint merlin]

Oh okay

[brisk frost]

Yessssssir

[whole patio]

Client likes to talk about motor bikes? Or shared communities, or whatever.. always good to have something you can reply and tell yourself

also it prevents you burning out

or at least.. lessens the chances.. shortens the periods

I keep recommending tabletop RPGs as a hobby to people who ask how to get into consulting

[mint merlin]

Wait what, I thought it’s very complicated and you always need to be careful and work all day

I really had misconception then

[whole patio]

Knowledge and skills are important, but there are lots and lots of people who have them.. and the ones that do not have them, well they can get them..

But.. being likable.. reliant.. easy to be around.. organized.. well spoken.. able to read rooms and situations... is what makes a LOT of difference in the real world

[mint merlin]

I get it, thank you Eris2cats

[whole patio]

So feel free to take the scenic route through life.. none of the plans I had with 16 went smoothly, or even mattered at all, later in life

[brisk frost]

And he is 40 now

[mint merlin]

Yk I’m just tying to be Careful and learn something from now early. Maybe it will make it easier for me later

[brisk frost]

It will just give you more stress

[whole patio]

If in doubt, its always smart to chose the option that gives you more options.. might be a significant other, might be a job opportunity that opens up possibilities.. might be a move.. etc

but even people who messed up royally at some point still manage.. all this matters way less than you think

[brisk frost]

Life lesson right there, im inspired ✨️

[edgy gyro]

And Bro , If a person wants to do Freelancing in Pentesting he Needs At least OSCP cert nah like a trust for the client , that he can do the job
I'm Not Talking About a role in the red team but about a Free lancer and his perspective in Pentesting

[hoary solar]

#👥・github-and-projects maybe

[high shard]

Hi! I recently lost my password for my e-bike linking app, it’s a 6 digit code, anyone can help?

[whole patio]

Should delete here

[hushed oasis]

Done

[whole patio]

That's something you should ask the vendor

[high shard]

I haven’t cycled in a hella while so I don’t rmb the email :0

[hushed oasis]

I am not allowed to message there for some reason. Any idea why? I joined only yesterday

[whole patio]

Probably need to raise your server rank by chatting in #💬・old-gen-chat - anti bot measure

[edgy gyro]

Yeah bro, that makes sense. I was also considering PNPT because of its practical format — 5 days of testing followed by 2 days of reporting, plus a report review process. I like that it emphasizes real-world methodology and documentation, which seems useful for freelancing since reporting quality is critical.
I’m also looking at beginner certs like eJPT (or) PJPT. Both seem solid entry points. eJPT is more beginner-friendly with a 48-hour exam, while PJPT has a more professional structure with 48 hours of testing plus reporting. Since TCM focuses heavily on reporting (especially in PJPT and PNPT), I feel that could be valuable preparation before eventually attempting OSCP.
And I appreciate Your Earlier input as well , Thanks ^^

[whole patio]

The PNPT course material is pretty dated/outdated. Couple of the tools/sites they reference no longer exist, githubs archived years ago.. and they suggest to fix that by running a post installation script that artifically installs old versions.

Also Heath, the guy in the videos, left TCM a short while ago - so I don't think it's going to be updated any time soon

[torpid jungle]

Friends, you know how TryHackMe teaches a "hacking" framework of like enumeration, exploitation, foothold, etc? Is that formalized anywhere? Is it part of some sort of formal pentesting methodology?

[steady ledge]

yea, THM mirrors formal frameworks like PTES (penetration testing execution standard), the steps you mentioned are standard in pentesting

[torpid jungle]

Thanks!

[whole patio]

I think the kali menu mirrors that for the mitre attack matrix, too

[crude wraith]

wanted feedback on my little PSA thing I wanted to send to family... not sure if I nailed the main points well.

Why should you care about your privacy and security?

Traditionally, digital security was mostly your responsibility — users managed passwords and limited data themselves. [Verified]

Today, personal information is a high-value commodity. Regulations like the UK Online Safety Act 2023 mandate verification (e.g., ID uploads, facial estimation), but profit-driven platforms often outsource these processes to third-party vendors. This increases the “attack surface,” as seen in historical breaches like AU10TIX (2024), Clearview AI, and Equifax (2017). [Verified / Inference]

In this ecosystem, privacy is no longer a default — it is a contested asset that you must actively protect. [Inference]

I have a ddos script can y’all test it for me because my pc is broken

[fluid depot]

do you even have a botnet to support said ddos?

[whole patio]

No #📜・rules

[fluid depot]

first off, vibecoded, second, pasting it again after it already got deleted won't make it less vibecoded

and multi-threading != ddos

[full thistle]

It’s multi threading ong

[blissful sonnet]

not ddos

would be dos

attack is coming from one single IP

[full thistle]

Yeah that’s probably true mate

But I got the script try it on my website

hello good day is there anyone that could help on a project am currently running ?

[scenic saffron]

yo hi need help

[steady ledge]

Waht

[steady ledge]

Drop it

[scenic saffron]

can u help me penetrate into sm1s ig acc?

[steady ledge]

I don't think it goes with the rules my gng

check them #📜・rules

[scenic saffron]

wasn't this the hacking server?

[steady ledge]

Ethical hacking

[crude loom]

i found an xmlrpc it showing enabled but i couldnt confirm the vulnerability

[steady ledge]

enabled doesnt mean vulnerable, make sure to test for abuse vectors like multicall or pingback

[crude loom]

how please ?

[steady ledge]

you could use wpscan or enumerate xml-rpc (i think they were these) methods in a lab

also check for bruteforce protections and pingback abuse

[crude loom]

ok thanks alot i really appreciate

[steady ledge]

yw broskey anything else ask

[crude loom]

then issue regarding IP changing my IP is not changing even though i enable tor

[steady ledge]

make sure your traffic is actually routed through tor

check if you got it enabled by https://check.torproject.org/

[crude loom]

ohk sir let me check

[crude loom]

still showing am not using tor

[steady ledge]

then your traffic isn't going through tor

set your proxy to 127.0.0.1:9050 (SOCKS5)

[crude loom]

how do i rectify it through terminal

[crude loom]

ok sir

[steady ledge]

oh you using terminal

then first check if tor is running withh

sudo systemctl status tor

[crude loom]

i normally perform ssh via powershell from my VBox

[crude loom]

tor.service - Anonymizing overlay network for TCP (multi-instance-master)
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/tor.service; enabled; preset: disabled)

[steady ledge]

Check tor@default, that’s the actual instance

and SSH won’t use tor unless you set it to use the SOCKS5 proxy

[crude loom]

ok got it

thanks alot

[obtuse jolt]

im making a Discord Bot to announce when a new song video and such drops for discord and such and it should more or less search all music platforms and such for new songs added toan artists profile and such i need help to leanr how to host it and such and someone to look over the code and such and maybe work on it with me i wont like i used AI to make the code there is no errors but ik that doesnt mean it works correctly so would anyone be able to help me?

Edit; ik discord says im a spammer but I promise you i am not i added to many of my old friends too fast

[mellow spindle]

@slow edge

[slow edge]

Well that's a good question, I myself know a bit about scraping but scraping latest music to keep updates on discord is not really my thing. I would still say look for any apis or python based scraping stuff that you can use for this.

Also, make sure before scraping platforms, those platforms do allow it! Most of the music platforms don't have legal issues with that, as long as the songs are getting advertized correctly, but ya make sure of that

[obtuse jolt]

That’s fair and to be honest I’m the artist that wants his stuff scraped I’m making music and I’d like a way to advertise it passively I can send you what Chat GPT has made for me and if you think it would work in a way that makes sense and legally of course kinda like what some bots do when someone goes live and such but again it’s ChatGPT so I know it’s not gonna be perfect

If you wanna dm please do and I’ll send my GitHub repository to you when I wake up again

[stable mountain]

Why did the man respond to the message I sent 17 days ago

[weary spade]

because no one is buying intelx for 2k

lol

you can just find a seller or buy csint.tools or another automated osint api with intelx integrated

[stable mountain]

and that's why I said there are other options

[wanton maple]

would anyone know whats causing a CPU light on my pc, originally it was a DRAM light and i moved some stuff around then that went away and became a CPU light, theres no display when plugged in

i swapped out the CPU and motherboard today so this is a new cpu and MB

[frail flax]

Owh ok, so you swapped motherboard

Did you check in BIOS?

[wanton maple]

cant boot

no display at all

however i just found out about a thing called MB memory learning so i might give that a try rq

[frail flax]

Check in Bios if its supporting that motherboard, power cable I am sure you checked if its plugged in?

[wanton maple]

how

[frail flax]

check if that pin cable at the top of the motherboard is properly plugged

[wanton maple]

it is

ive tried it 9 times

[frail flax]

Did you check the correct cable? no bend pins or something like that?

[wanton maple]

yes

[frail flax]

Reseat the CPU and cooler, check for bent pins or socket debris, then do the same with RAM, one at time, clear CMOS and check if CPU is supported by the motherb Bios. But I ma an expert, its what I would try to do to solve it

[wanton maple]

ive done that 5 times

[frail flax]

did you check if Cpu and mother are compatible with each other?

[wanton maple]

yes

[edgy gyro]

Ohhh But I'm not Going to take the TCM PNPT course bro , I'm thinking of Going for the cert ,
Cert exam will be dated nah and
I'm Learning In HTB Pentester Path which is helpful to go up to OSCP , that's why before going for OSCP , I thought of Going for PNPT cert first

[wanton maple]

i fixed it, i took the ram out and turned it on then turned it off inserted ram and powered back on

Gotta lvl up. check out #🤝・roles-info

[empty tendon]

okay thanks brother

[empty tendon]

I’m currently working on a project for one of my classes where we’re building a program to educate people on basic cybersecurity concepts. I don’t have all the final details yet, but I told my professor I wanted to focus on the database/backend side rather than the frontend (React/HTML/CSS/Blender).

Right now I’m interested in cloud security and maybe pentesting, but I’m still exploring different areas to figure out what I enjoy most. My thinking was that working with databases would help me build more experience with SQL and backend systems (it might be good for cloud). However, the project feels like it’s leaning more toward general software development experience than cybersecurity.

Does anyone have recommendations on features I could implement to make this more geared towards cybersecurity and get some hands-on cyber experience out of it? I’m considering designing it with security-first principles, and possibly attempting passwordless authentication (a stretch goal since I haven’t implemented that before), but I feel like these implementing these features won't reflect cloud security/pen testing skills. Any recommended features to implement would be greatly appreciated

[whole patio]

Who in terms of background is the target group, and who in terms of the goal is greenlighting the result?

[empty tendon]

target group would most likely be students in college (of all types of majors)/people with minimal to no cybersecurity awareness. the person greenlighting the result would probably just be my professor

@whole patio

[whole patio]

Sounds like typical awareness content then, if it should appeal to everyone. So barely any truly technical content, unless in target group specific modules

[obtuse jolt]

Hi can you please me a reverse engineering

[steady ledge]

well, if its your own music, Id avoid scraping and use official API'ss or RSS feeds instead, they safer and less risk of bans, send the repo when you can and I’ll take a look

[steady ledge]

what are you reversing? if you share more details and I'll try to help

[whole patio]

Same answer you already got in #💬・old-gen-chat

[rotund ruin]

A app

[fluid depot]

are you going to elaborate on that?

[blissful sonnet]

i did message but you didnt respond

[whole patio]

Wasn't what they wanted to hear

[rotund ruin]

Means it a app created by my colleage

Who will reverse engineering gets a reward like a ethical reverse engineering project

[whole patio]

so you want someone to do your homework

[blissful sonnet]

as i said i messaged to offer some resources and help but you didnt respond

[rotund ruin]

And it also be a my education I get some knowledge

[fluid depot]

you keep not giving any helpful details

[rotund ruin]

@blissful sonnet i didn't get any message

[whole patio]

they don't know what they want, but they want someone to do it for them, explain it to them, and hold their hand the entire time

just went over that in #💬・old-gen-chat

[steady ledge]

you can use tools like ghidra or a debugger to analyze it, just make sure you got a writen permission and a defined scope

[rotund ruin]

Yeah I use x64dbg to find a breaking point I don't know how to proceed further

@steady ledge I will DM you

You will not guve a reply

[steady ledge]

i lowk almost never use dm's i got them filled

and im too lazy to open

[rotund ruin]

Ok

[steady ledge]

step through with F7/F8, watch registers, check the call stack and trace where the function is called fromm

[rotund ruin]

One sec

So what should I do next to get the because it in native binary

The app developed in c language

[fluid depot]

what even is your goal? a flag? a check?

[steady ledge]

Trace from the entry point to main(), analyze imports, and map important functions

[rotund ruin]

Ok

Next I will call you

When trying to perform some dynamic malware analysis on a sample i would have gotten, sometimes it's not possible because it automatically crashes (because some files are missing), how do I proceed from there because usually I even need to go to dynamic analysis because static would not have given me solid evidence that the sample is malicious

Seriously..? Cant think of a reason?

[sterile pewter]

The sheer fact of ignorance in asking to remove a browser extension put by a administrator in your school is crazy

The school puts them in place to ensure cheating isn't done and attention to schoolwork is kept in check. They are not removed unless they have a reason to. Doing so without permission can and usually is punished by means of court.

Don't think you want the probation and $975 restitution.

[supple agate]

[north summit]

what is the best way to protect your ip ?

[blissful sonnet]

use a vpn

[north summit]

i am a web dev first year and i want to change to cybersecurity so i want to learn some stuff before i enter the domain

[blissful sonnet]

ur ip being leaked isnt something that is a big deal anyways

people can only really ddos you, for about 5 minutes before most botnets will end up losing power and dying

[sterile pewter]

That only masks it.

[blissful sonnet]

no kid who is trying to grab your IP is going to bother trying to demask it

just dont give your IP out to people, and dont click on suspicious links, theres nothing else you really have to be worried about

[sterile pewter]

Fair. Most people don't actually try to DDoS anyways. If the threat is made, I'd ignore it, personally.

[blissful sonnet]

your local wifi router most likely has a firewall implemented and isnt accessible by the public internet anyways

[north summit]

i have heared about tor browser also

[blissful sonnet]

so its not like someone is going to eternalblue your machine and get remote access

use a vpn if you like extra privacy/encryption, and just dont be stupid clicking random links and you'll be fine

nobody cares to get your IP and do anything with it anyways

[north summit]

okay thank u

what do you mean by that

HydraTHC is on github yes

theres also loads of other tools in kali

[heavy forge]

Checking for any accounts linked to a certain email, phone number or username

[north summit]

nope i am new to kali

[blissful sonnet]

justsearch on youtube

for videos about idk cracking passwords with hashcat or something

[north summit]

okay i will thank u

[blissful sonnet]

or do linux fundamentals on https://tryhackme.com

[blissful sonnet]

intelx, intelfetch, predictasearch, osint industries, probably that oath net thing u mentioned, there are a lot more if you search online too

all of them

[olive pecan]

hello! newbie here that is looking for some clarification, sorry if im interrupting the convo

im trying to lock down specifically what skills id need to learn to become an IAM Analyst, ive gotten a bunch of different information from reserching and i keep getting returned videos of people saying to buy their course to get in the industry.

So far what i think i need to do is (as someone coming from outside of cybersecurity), get the following certs to prove i have foundational knowledge to get an entry level role:

CompTIA A+
CompTIA Security+
Cybersecurity CC by ISC2

can someone let me know if im misunderstanding anything / point me to where i should go? thank you!!

[blissful sonnet]

good roadmap

for resources, google is your friend

https://github.com/kdeldycke/awesome-iam

https://github.com/guptadeepak/awesome-customer-iam

https://github.com/casbin/awesome-auth

[olive pecan]

yeah its just confusing since i keep getting told about different certs and when i look at entry level job descriptions the main common identifier im seeing is like "are you familiar with okta/some other similar software"

[blissful sonnet]

https://github.com/abhir9/awesome-identity-management

stupid bot

[blissful sonnet]

how is that confusing

u see job descriptions that say "are you familiar with okta/other software"

well, are you familiar with them?

[olive pecan]

confusing in that im being told to get different certs by different people

[blissful sonnet]

dont stress about that

get as many certs as you can

[olive pecan]

some people are saying i dont need network+ for iam, some are saying i should, things like that

[blissful sonnet]

certs hardly matter, sure they're good, but if you are knowledgeable, you can easily get into the industry

[olive pecan]

i am familiar with okta for my current role, but thats as an end user

[heavy forge]

Which can I use a phone number in?

[blissful sonnet]

most of them

[blissful sonnet]

so then learn about it as a manager

[heavy forge]

I’m going to try atleast on intelx it doesn’t let me.

[blissful sonnet]

people dont care if you have a cert that ticks a box most of the time, if you can prove you can do a job efficiently and effectively, you will get hired, just study, read free resources, practice, take notes, and you'll end up being on the same level or even being better than anyone with a cert

[blissful sonnet]

intelx is expensive to be fair doubt u have money like that

the other ones i said are cheaper

[heavy forge]

Yeah, not really.

[olive pecan]

sure, provinh you have foundational knowledge and not a piece of paper that claims you can do whatever, i get that

i guess to be more specific, is there anywhere you'd reccomend me to start off at first? and then go from there? or does it not really matter and just learn what i can ?

[blissful sonnet]

bruh

[blissful sonnet]

bruh

[blissful sonnet]

brUh

[olive pecan]

ah, fair i overthought it, thank you!

[heavy forge]

Would you say grabify is an accurate IP grabber?

[blissful sonnet]

"accurate"?
its just an ip grabber, if you dont have a vpn it grabs ur ip, if you have a vpn it grabs the vpn ip and probably says something like "warning this might be a vpn ip" lol

regarding geolocation and such, you cant get someones home address from their IP

[heavy forge]

I know but what I’m saying is an IP is an approximate location correct?

[blissful sonnet]

you can pretty much get the county/state maybe, thats about it

Yeah, exactly.

So there’s really no way

you would need to social engineer their ISP to get their address if you were a motivated actor

I’m not trying to do all that, I’m just a beginner anyways, I have barely any experience hacking.

What would you say is a good base or a good way to start ethical hacking

Okay, need a bit of a pointer on what to do.

So, back in 2019, I got hired at Charter Communications as a Dev Ops working directly under my father's old manager (as he switched to Lumen) and worked there roughly till 2023. I then opened my own tech solutions business with my father after getting enough saved up to do so. Just recently, I finished my Master's in Cyber Security and Counter Terrorism, but due to sicknesses, I'm not really capable of working outside my home and I don't know jack about the state I reside and it's technology jobs.

Any pointers?

google and research about state you reside and it's technology jobs.

[sterile pewter]

I didn't really get far.

[blissful sonnet]

then you my friend, are unhelpable

[sterile pewter]

I see.

Welp, that concludes my stay then. Kinda only reason I came.

[blissful sonnet]

if you cant get a good idea of the employment/jobs sectors of the state you live in, then i have no idea what to say to you lol

if you want to work in IAM, search for "IAM Analysis jobs in (insert ur state here)" on google

Google often points me to physical locations for work instead of virtual as my health will not permit a physical.

[blissful sonnet]

go on indeed, glassdoor, literally any recruiter site

filter for remote only jobs

[sterile pewter]

Indeed was the first I went to. Glassdoor similar like an alt?

[blissful sonnet]

yes

[sterile pewter]

Noted. And how reliable is Glassdoor compared to indeed?

[blissful sonnet]

i dont think you should be worrying about the reliability of said site when you are jobhunting

especially today, with a lot of job markets being fucked

just get signed up, upload ur resume, and apply for jobs

[sterile pewter]

Alright.

It's not really job hunting, just more of looking for a better one, yk?

[blissful sonnet]

fair

either way

[sterile pewter]

I appreciate it

[heavy forge]

Would you recommend any other tools or YouTubers or YouTube videos that can further improve my development within this area?
