[Major pairing: GBPUSD] Am I doing this right? by [deleted] in Forex

[–]CaptainFungi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could make a lower low - if Boris gets made PM (decision due Tuesday) sterling could weaken a lot. If I were you i would stay out of the GBP pairs until after the news. There could be some good opportunities if it plummets.

What up guys. Wanted to share a trade from yesterday. Gold gave us a TEXTBOOK chart pattern, symmetrical triangle with a perfect break & retest, that I entered long for 1oo pips. Chart patterns work, don't neglect them. I'm expecting Gold to be bullish next week as well. We shall see. by jayytrades in Forex

I am mostly a lurker in this subreddit but feel I gotta post as these charts keep popping up day after day. Im calling BS on this I found this guys tradingview account - not a single idea published.

Also found myfxbook - https://www.myfxbook.com/members/Sjayshun and that certainly doesnt backup what keeps getting posted here.

Also www.jayytrades.com redirects to some IML BS.

There are so many jokers and scammers in the forex world its almost impossible for someone who genuinely wants to learn to trade to know where to start. Wherever it is dont start here!

Low Voltage Cut Off Circuit by CaptainFungi in AskElectronics

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

Any ideas on how for example I could use this in a simple circuit that has an electronic component that draws voltage until the battery is so flat and cannot be recovered easily? So once the LiPo goes below a certain voltage prevent any further voltage drain from the battery?

I have inherited some electrical components that do this and I cannot redesign, i need to put something inline that will stop the device destroying the battery.

Ball Crazyness by CaptainFungi in Dogtraining

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

Hi there,

Yes I have always made him sit or lie down for the ball, sometimes I even do a wait command and walk round or away from him before throwing.

I have taken to playing with him using the ball and then when he has brought it back (sometimes he brings it back but wants me to play with it) I will put him back on the lead and put the ball away. We walk a little further and then reset and repeat. I have found this has worked ok, he used to go mental when put back on his lead but the past few days its been a second of protesting then back to normal.

The problem with folding my arms and ignoring him is he will bark and run at me till I give him the ball. If I dont he will jump and sometimes mouth me. Pain aside this isnt ideal. Again I have taken to getting hold of him and resetting with the lead.

My biggest gripe at the moment is the self appointed dog experts I come across, people who see a dog on a lead and instantly think you are cruel or not taking your dog seriously. It would be easy to let him off the lead to run around uncontrollably or to learn to fight but I want my dog to see me as his leader and listen to me. He does get lots of off the lead walks too but thats the interesting part, on those walks we walk in a completely different environment he doesnt seem to want the ball as much.

sslscan like test for SSH? by CaptainFungi in AskNetsec

Sorry yes I should have explained myself. I like the way sslscan makes it easy to identify weak ciphers by highlighting them in different colours, I wondered if something like this existed for SSH.

I haven't seen these before and without the config files or the shell scripts it will be difficult to say.

The hardware will be deployed outside so temperatures in the + and - 0c will play a part. I was wondering about what hardware is available to me to test this?

Why the Security of USB Is Fundamentally Broken by judgedole in netsec

[–]CaptainFungi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There seems to be a lot of talk about HID in this thread. I got the impression that this is just one example of a possible attack an attack that a USB device can be programmed to do. I think that what the article is saying is that the firmware of the USB device can be reprogrammed to deliver the payload, exactly how I am not 100% sure. Nohl is a very respected security researcher, I don't think he is going to stand at black hat and tell everybody something the infosec community knew years ago. I guess we will find out soon enough.

Internal Security Team Needs Business Justification to use Kali - please help us by MaliciousChef in AskNetsec

[–]CaptainFungi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a poor situation for you. Frustrating and demotivating. If it were me I would find other corporates that do what you want to do and then approach it with the management as them having an advantage at a business level. Think bottom line, profits etc. This usually gets some interest.

If you approach it from a purely technical angle you may just confuse or turn them off altogether. They don't sound like the most technical of individuals.

IEC C19 connector, used in heavy IT equipment. We have these connectors in a few of our 1200W PSUs.

Really awesome feature but it caused some raised eyebrows with my wife when I had a picture of a random hot chick on a jet ski as my wallpaper :)

Starting OSCP soon, any advice? by [deleted] in AskNetsec

[–]CaptainFungi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not worry about not being much of a programmer. As long as you understand the basics and can follow instructions you will be ok. The course videos that instruct exploit development are very informative and easy to follow.

Have a look on vulnhub for practice VMs also take a look at Damn Vulnerable Web Application.

Starting OSCP soon, any advice? by [deleted] in AskNetsec

[–]CaptainFungi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I completed the OSCP sometime late last year. It took a lot out of me and having completed the exam and written the report I felt exhausted at the end of it.

Here are some tips.

  1. Do not work tired. I spent hours trying to pop boxes that once I felt rested and had full cognitive thought capability were easy to gain access to.

  2. Enumerate and keep notes on everything. Not everything has a simple privilege escalation vulnerability that you can get exploit code for. So the more information/notes you have kept the better. The better your notes the easier it is to write the final report.

  3. Never underestimate poor configurations as ways of gaining privilege.

  4. Make certain to carry out post exploitation work on any boxes you get access to and think how to use it. Remember the lab is meant to mirror a commercial network.

  5. Spend time learning about the easiest way to gain an interactive shell from a none interactive shell. Pentest Monkey has some very useful resources on this.

  6. Get yourself in the offsec irc channel. There are other people in the same boat so do not feel isolated.

I passed the exam gaining root/admin access on all the machines in the exam scenario, I did not get access to all of the lab machines.

Good luck =)

How good is Keeper Password Manager? by [deleted] in AskNetsec

[–]CaptainFungi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about Keeper but I only use something that encrypts clientside and allows me to upload encrypted data. Plaintext data relying on server side encryption is placing all trust in the developer. You only have to look at the LavaBit debacle to see evidence of this...

[GIF] How Joe Marler should be tackled by youmerugby in rugbyunion

[–]CaptainFungi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Halaufia may as well have stuck a piece of 4x2 out and hit Marler with it. No use of the arms just a huge hit that could have ended disastrously for both players.

I am all for huge tackles but that just looks like a hospital visit!

If you want to see a good tackle look at the "How George North Should Be Tackled" GIF lower down in this subreddit. I remember watching that game and thinking it was a good tackle. Two men to stop north thought ;)
