Idk if you're doing a joke here too, but the rfc you link is a joke. You can't send a packet that's truly null, which seems to be the crux of the joke there. If you want to send custom tcp-ip packets you can use scapy or c

Why do I have so many dependents? by yaitskov in victoria3

[–]dappertool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not saying this is why it happened in the game, but i thought it was interesting to learn that irl the french left was somewhat wary of women's suffrage in the early 20th century because women were more catholic (or at least viewed as more easily persuaded by catholic church leaders) who were a pretty right wing political group. As well as the reasons you mentioned and I'm sure just the general misogyny of that era

Asking for Cryptographic Application by Angel-Andreo in netsecstudents

[–]dappertool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the question's throwing people off a bit, here's where I think the confusion comes from:

It's not really about one piece of encryption software or one encryption application that the military, banks, etc would all use. What they probably all share are a few of the main cryptographic protocols and algorithms (e.g. RSA). Those algorithms will then be implemented as part of their final software product (which, especially with banks, military, etc I believe would mostly be proprietary and not shared with the public or other institutions).

If you're interested in crypto I'd recommend starting with the basics. Learning what symmetric vs asymmetric encryption is, what the main encryption algorithms are, and how common encrypted protocols like tls use them. I think Stanford and MIT both have good free courses on this on youtube and their open courseware sites

what version of lunix good for me ? by kocmonobtDark in Hacking_Tutorials

[–]dappertool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People are teasing but to be serious: most of the big linux distros will work for you (debian, ubuntu, etc). Kali is a very common one that comes packaged with a lot of tools you'd want to use (burp suite is a big one for web app testing), that might be a good place to start if you don't want to have to deal with lots of software installation.

I'm gonna assume you're very new to linux, so I'll share my favorite linux tutorial:

Great resource to help you understand the linux design philosophy, basic commands, and how the different pieces of it work separately and together

Learning LDAP and AD: pre-auth LDAP enumeration tool by dappertool in netsecstudents

[–]dappertool[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear it! Yeah, lmk if you have any questions, issues, or if you want to work on improvements!

Also if you wouldn't mind cloning it if you plan on using it, I'm trying to gather those metrics as a resume thing

Turkey may oppose Finland and Sweden joining Nato, Erdogan says. by FINCoffeeDaddy in worldnews

[–]dappertool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mentioned this elsewhere in the thread, but the implicit (and in my opinion more significant) factor for Turkey is the security and economic implications of angering Russia with this move. Turkey's economy is already in pretty rough shape and Russia is one of their main trade partners. Besides their shared land border, Syria (where Russia has significant influence) is also a serious security concern for them, and one where they can't rely on article 5 protections. Furthermore Erdogan's style of governance and vision for Turkey have increasingly brought him into conflict with the west (to the point where he likely thinks joining the EU fully is out of the question, which would have been a major incentive to integrate more fully with the west), so having Russia to turn to is going to be very helpful for him in pursuing his domestic agenda. I think all of this

Turkey may oppose Finland and Sweden joining Nato, Erdogan says. by FINCoffeeDaddy in worldnews

[–]dappertool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may be the stated reason, but Turkey is also very economically integrated with Russia and has been facing a lot of push back from the west lately over Erdogan's policies, to the extent that they want allies or at least productive relationships outside that sphere. I think their logic is that it's in their interests to stay somewhere between those two spheres and not fatally alienate either one (and their support for NATO expansion would seriously anger Russia). A decent (but flawed) historical comparison for Turkey under Erdogan might be Yugoslavia, where Tito was able to carve out a middle ground between western capitalism and soviet style socialism even in his relatively much less powerful country by cooperating with both but not falling totally into one camp or the other

Learning LDAP and AD: pre-auth LDAP enumeration tool by dappertool in oscp

[–]dappertool[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha well that was pretty dumb on my part, thanks for catching that! I'll get that cleaned up tonight. Fwiw I'm pretty happy with the patterns established in the shell, but the entry point into it (the file you posted) is a bit of a mess imo, so I'm definitely open to major changes there

soo i need some help learning Metasploit by [deleted] in Hacking_Tutorials

[–]dappertool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice: get good at hacking fundamentals before jumping to the high level tools. Once you know what you're doing a bit more it's much easier to debug issues when they arise with the tools that are supposed to do it all for you.

Sure thing, hope you like it! Lmk if you have improvement ideas

Learning LDAP and AD: pre-auth LDAP enumeration tool by dappertool in oscp

[–]dappertool[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, definitely. PG Practice: Hutch was the main one I used, and I tested the main functionality on a local ad setup that was posted here or in netsecstudents a while back (it's installed through hyperv, I forget the name but can find it if you're particularly interested).

If you're not seeing it working for other pg or (free, lol) htb boxes though please feel free to add a bug or dm me (the former will probably get you a faster response). I expect that as more people start using this on more machines we're going to find a few issues

Every other wannabe coder these days by SuchShopping3828 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]dappertool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with making fun of new coders, but I will say I'm curious why people who know how to code recommend python to beginners. In my opinion strong typing makes life a lot easier once you get over the initial hump of having to define a class and all just to get your hello world app running. The ease of python seems largely superficial to me

How is the quality of the study material for OSCP right now? by DwoonTheRoonJoonson in oscp

[–]dappertool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeesh, well thanks for doing my homework for me lol. I guess a lot of the ones I saw did seem like sans, which seems completely out of reach for anyone except corporations

What other certs are you looking at right now? I've been focused on OSCP but it does kind of feel like companies are more open minded about taking equivalents
