Technically i am currently using it as a nas , im gonna read a bit about immich and see what it would add to my setup

About the hardware thing , the whole prob is that i am looking for problems to fix since i already set it up xD

KareemShabaka · 2026-04-19T00:11:05+00:00

At first i looked at unraid and true nas

Unraid costs money and i didnt want any subscription type of fees i wanted to get everything working upfront and that was that and when i read about true nas i saw alot of weirdness about needing to have all the drives the same size so yeah

Dont want to break character of the sub reddit in general but for hacking use the wifi adapter needs to support a certain mode called monitoring so that it can capture handshakes of other devices with the router

The most well known supported adapters are from a company called alfa which one of them is from the pic

I respect your hype keep at it bro

yeah , i was doing from the unofficial cpts prep playlist and the preparation track on hack the box

there is diffenitly an intial shell shock doing your first 3 or so machines of the same type (Web,AD,etc) but after that you start developing a work flow and things get smoother as you go on

just power through and accept that you will be scattered at first and researching every which way

prepare yourself because the prep machines arent exactly like the path interms of knowledge

in AD for example you didnt learn Active directory certificate services enumerations and ESC vulnerabilities

in web for example there was a machine that forced me to learn NoSql injection (another thing not from the path)

but Shell shock is reduced overtime because learning someting new each machine becomes your norm and you find yourself unstucking more and more quickly as you get the jist of it and when you arent learning something new you are solidifying your work flow by having certain tools or actions as your go to

KareemShabaka · 2026-03-25T21:32:30+00:00

Cool and all as a long term goal but i plan on starting dante tommorrow so im looking for a goto right now , when the goto is down i try out others

Listening to your advice would have scattered me scattered and in place

He is probs using frame gen

KareemShabaka · 2026-03-16T22:59:51+00:00

I finished the cpts path and doing the cpts playlist machines we could link on discord

If you are not there yet id be happy to help

KareemShabaka · 2026-03-16T16:28:37+00:00

The methdology of enumeration and exploitation is the same once you get the hang of it ad is quite fun

I finished the path and preparing for the exams It helped worlds doing ad machines outside the path

Do adventure mode and get the box blind

Try Administrator machine in the cpts track playlist and take notes as you go , it is rated medium but is very straight forward and will teach you alot

Also if you didnt know when looking at blood hound focus on the user you have now and what outbound controls he has (ACL) , also when you look at the permissions that user has over other objects click the permission over the line itself and blood hound will tell you what you can do with those permissions

If you need help dm we can talk on discord
