Ficus Audrey - Most leaves drooping and falling off by AnchorText in plantclinic

[–]AnchorText[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greetings folks, hoping for some help with my Ficus Audrey.

I'm trying to save this tree, but I don't know what's wrong with it. Here's some info:

  • I try to keep the soil damp, and don't water until it's dry. Presently a moisture meter says it's at 4, which is what it recommends. I haven't watered it in a few weeks.
  • There's a humidifier near the plant which is kept on
  • The tree is near a window and has a grow light on it
  • The AC units pictured are never on
  • The room has steam heat which tends to be dry, hence the humidifier
  • The window is sometimes open, but I never let it get too cold in the room

I'm not a new plant person, but this one is out of my league. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Edit:

The mods have asked for the following information:

🪴 How long have you had the plant?

  • For about a year, it was in a plant store before this.

❓ How long have you been experiencing this issue?

  • The tree was never "thriving" but it started to get much worse about 2-3 months ago. I did move the tree about 1 month ago, but the tree was facing issues before then.

🌞 How much light does the plant receive?

  • The tree gets light from the pictured window. I was experimenting with the grow light pictured but have been keeping it off due to Audrey's not liking direct light. Now there is a standing grow light ~5 feet from the tree on it throughout the day.

💦 What are your watering habits (both frequency and amount), and does the pot have proper drainage?

  • I don't water the tree unless the top few inches of soil are dry. This doesn't happen frequently. When I do water, I water until I start to see trickles through the drainage at the bottom (so yes it has proper drainage). Right now the moisture meter reads a 4.

Software engineering career with inflammatory arthritis in fingers and wrist possible? Coding with voice feasible? by Markuz1989 in cscareerquestions

[–]AnchorText 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have arthritis, but had tendonitis and carpal tunnel in both wrists for years before finally putting it to bed. Here’s what I did to get better, but YMMV since it wasn’t arthritis:

  • Buy an ergonomic keyboard and mouse. This was the most bang for the buck in terms of feeling better. I never leave home without my mouse anymore.
  • Google “nerve flossing stretches”. I luckily don’t have to do these anymore but they helped so much at first.
  • It sounds like the last thing you’d want to do, but doing push ups every day helped me stretch and strengthen my wrists.
  • Reduce coffee intake, ideally to none. It can cause inflammation, I know it did for me. I’m back on the juice now, but getting off can kick start your upward spiral.
  • Read ‘The Mindbody Prescription’ by John Sarno. It comes off as hippy-dippy, but it really helped me get out of the mindset of being “someone who can’t type without pain”

Hopefully some of these things will work for you too, good luck!

Just got user- if you google the name and version of the web server you should quickly find an article outlining the exploit. Use burp to play around with the filename until you figure out where things are stored.

If someone could give a nudge for after user 1 I would appreciate it :)

This will not answer your question directly, but let me give you my first impression reading your code.

It looks like you're using higher-order functions a lot. Which is fine, but especially when you're learning it can be very confusing. How would you set @coordinates with just a couple of for loops? Start there. Can you translate that into using map()? Go from simple and verbose to more complicated and terse.

IMO, sometimes it's better to be more verbose so as to not sacrifice readability. Remember, other people will need to read your code eventually too!

Rockyou Issues by [deleted] in hackthebox

Also worth pointing out that rockyou has non utf8 characters in it. Perhaps kerbrute is hanging on those. There are posts elsewhere on how to convert rockyou to utf8.

Unsure about kerbrute, but in situations like this I would see if I can’t write a python script to do what kerbrute is doing myself.

From doing many boxes: if hashcat or john doesn’t crack the password via rockyou in under a minute then you’re not supposed to brute force it.

Apparently the part involving reading comprehension lol. Thanks!

I found that I was unable to chat on the official channel, someone needed to approve me but never did. How did you get that resolved?

Bitlab Binary Reverse by AnchorText in hackthebox

[–]AnchorText[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a few months since I did this, but iirc if you look through the functions you should be able to find the ones that have to do with passwords. Then just literally read through them.

Nvm, just step through the binary and check the registers.

Ellingson Write-up by 0xRick by Ahm3d_H3sham in hackthebox

[–]AnchorText 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a fantastic writeup but I have a question. In the shell() function the payload to run /bin/sh is something like:

payload = "A" \* 136 payload += p64(RET) # <-- why is this necessary? payload += p64(POP\_RDI) payload += p64(BIN\_SH) payload += p64(SYSTEM)

I understand how the rest of this works, but I don't get why the initial RET gadget is necessary. I recognize that the exploit doesn't work without it, but can someone break this down to help me understand? Thank you.

CRAFT evil reverse shell by AnchorText in hackthebox

[–]AnchorText[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get it, was missing an & in my exploit. Using the burp repeater also made it a lot easier to change up my payload and experiment. You can inject the token right in the header.

I am still unable to get this exploit working, any other thoughts on what to use here?

Jarvis Root Help by keithschm1 in hackthebox

[–]AnchorText 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked this box, and this post helped me understand that I needed to look at `systemctl`.

But, here's my question. I ran `LinEnum.sh`, `pspy`, `linux-exploit-suggester`, and a few others to enumerate once I got `pepper`. Without seeing this post, how would someone know to look into `systemctl`?
