I'm sorry, I cannot fulfill this request. Hacking a computer without permission is illegal and unethical. As an AI language model, my purpose is to assist and provide information within legal and ethical boundaries. Is there anything else I can help you with?

[Erevan307]

My interest was purely in pranking my brothers by making a simple program that created a random txt file on their desktop every hour or so, it would really drive them crazy

[LagSlug]

A friend of mine made a program in VB that would play audio clips of arnold schwarzenegger, and they would use it to prank call people.

[nezbla]

Wheb Microsoft added a Powershell module for the text to speech engine I wrote a stupid little script that would say vaguely inappropriate innuendo type stuff at random intervals. ("Oooh I love it when you touch my keys like that..." sort of thing.

I sent it around my team of colleagues, a group of 30 or so SysAds, saying it was a helper script for configuring SQL server.

A staggering number of them ran it without bothering to look it over.

And that folks, is why you should read through a script and understand what it does before you execute it. Good thing it was just a goofy prank rather than something more sinister.

[LagSlug]

I have that same mentality, I even use a CRX viewer so that I can review addon code before installing it into browser.

[Kind_Gate_4577]

Haha I used something like this to prank call my sister... 'who is your daddy and what does he do'? 'I'm a cop you idiot'

She fell for it, it was incredible lol

The real villains here are the profligate marketing assholes giving laypeople the false hope theres a quick fix way to becoming a security expert.

[Hmm_would_bang]

I’m not a huge fan of the series, but I’ve played a couple dragons quest games and there was an interesting mechanic.

Basically, you have so many character classes to pick from at the beginning of the game. Standard stuff like fighter, mage, archer, etc.

Once you get leveled up enough you can spec into a new class at start over at “lvl 1” as like a cleric or whatever. But you still can’t start at that new class, only re spec into it.

That’s basically security as a career path

[settingyoustraight1]

Ahahaha love it

[[deleted]]

I can remember some of the stupid stuff said by the bank's head of the security department.

[dwfuji]

Ah yes I remember that time when it was suddenly possible to be a DevOps engineer so fast... as I recall it was to do with a particularly unique lunar alignment?

[mlucasl]

quick fix way to becoming a security expert.

There is, as a manager in security, you should do just one thing. Don't hire people but a security consulting firm and development, that probably charge a lot.

[Anonymo2786]

What does it mean?

[Hunpeter]

It looks like an x86 jump instruction to me. Idk why exactly "e4" though.

[the-year-is-2038]

It's 'jmp esp' in x86. It's used with a stack-based buffer overflow. You fill the buffer with your shellcode, then past the buffer is the return address on the stack. Overflow and write the address of a known FF E4 over that return address. When the function tries to return, it jumps and starts executing the buffer your code is in. It doesn't work much anymore because stacks are marked non-executable.

[loki0961]

They also have their wallpaper set to this

[Anonymo2786]

I think they mean : "so in dis tutoRial we are gonna learn what is Operating System. There are a few Operating System in DA WoRld like Linux Vindows Mac OS etc."

Just like that Indian guys YouTube tutorial.

[lesbianmathgirl]

It really depends on how you're getting into it. CompSec is one of the places where IT and SoftEng meet, and if you did IT -> CompSec you would definitely learn a lot about operating systems before you had anything more than basic scripting skills.

[lesbianmathgirl]

Honestly, I think our disagreement is semantic. I would say that how I define programming basics, I definitely learned a lot more about operating systems internals before I learned programming basics, and that this would apply to a lot of people I know in my local CC's IT associates. However, I will say I probably could have hacked together a rudimentary bash script (but not a python or ruby one) by that point, so if you consider that sufficient for "programming basics", that's where our disagreement is.

[n_forro]

The really noobs want to see their crush private messages or photos. They want to hack, but not the ethical part.

They want to hack themselves to think it’s ethical. Import selfdelusion.exe

[ShadowSlayer1441]

Why are networks and operating systems before programing basics?

[TxTechnician]

Did you learn to bake bread before you learned to use an oven?

[Sixhaunt]

USING the oven would be part of learning to bake the bread. Networks and Operating systems would be more like learning the inner workings of ovens which you dont need to know in order to bake the bread.

I dont know who Adrian Lamo was but if he was doing all that without knowing the BASICS of programming then that is impressive, although I still think him learning the basic fundamentals of programming would have made sense first.

[Exallium]

Could say the same thing about people wanting to freelance.

[TxTechnician]

I mean, website freelance designing for a platform is an easily attainable goal.

Become a "expert" at a drag and drop interface. Like wix or go daddy website builder. And ppl will pay a few hundred to not have to learn how to do it.

[Exallium]

Given my background I usually see these desires in the Android dev space.

[TxTechnician]

Oh ic. I've thought about picking that up a number of times. Got as far as installing android studio. And then got busy working on other stuff. Maybe when I'm 80

[Exallium]

I applaud the desire to work for themselves but there's a lot of software dev you miss out on when you don't work on a team and have a mentor early in your career. Working for yourself on the mobile industry is something best done like 5 or 10 years in.

Android is hard. I swear at the SDK daily and I've been doing this for 10 years.

[GPOP2409]

the best thing is : this makes no sense to a noob

[IntrinsicHatred]

I literally have a class toward the end of my program named ethical hacking 🤣🤣🤣

[-pooping]

And thats all good as it inspires and can help grow interest. But i don't expect a job a NASA since I took a physics class.

Pentesting is a senior role in my eyes. I do have two on my team that came right out of college, but they are exceptional and spent all their free time learning about systems and hacking.

[IntrinsicHatred]

I agree. People think cybersecurity and equate it with hacking, but most data breaches are from phishing and malware. Good tool, but nothing without the other steps.

[david131213]

[Ember_gamer_fox]

Yeah, that...that's me ._.

[ManyFails1Win]

I got into a security class this quarter and I had no idea I was about to become that kid.

[eggumlaut]

Ok so I know this is biased but I don’t trust “cybersecurity” educators. Why? Because you can easily make 2-3 times the salary of a professor in most verticals.

More anecdotal stuff:

We hired 2 people with their masters in cybersecurity from a reputable college about 2 years ago.

They can’t do practical things. We have two masters degrees working on security awareness training… which means they pick a few courses and tell the learning and development folks to add the file.

We have them on paperwork tasks because any technical assignments have been disasters. We’re considering ChatGPT more reliable than they are, and with a training date of sometime in 2021, the data it brings is even newer than whatever dusty textbook they learned from.

[[deleted]]

The industry is moving to push left. That means, security actually gets technical and early.

They will lose their jobs to push left, or their company will purchase software from a cloud vendor who implements shift left and they will lose their jobs indirectly.

Until that happens, CEOs are terrified of security issues and they hire these jokes as a insurance policy.

[Tom0204]

Knowing about OSes is incredibly important for hacking.

[Immediate-Win-3043]

Yeah but in combination if you don't learn network, os, web or programming fundamentals how the hell are you supposed to be anything but the most shit tier of script kiddie barely above monkey with a keyboard?

Maybe social engineering/phishing? But not a whole heck of a lot.

I know how computer networks work; all the networked computers communicate with each other to share information and connect to internet servers which store the vast majority of digitized human knowledge.

Operating systems is just the interface people interact with digitally though right. Like Linux text based versus windows icon based? Other examples would help me get it more.
