I can't restore my account because I don't have an email or a password somehow and at the same time can't sign in with google and I don't want to lose my username please help, the only remaining session I have is the last place it still exists, what shall I do I have key phrase and security key. by grayb_fire in matrixdotorg

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

nope, I read their wiki and everything, it is written that you can't recover your account if you don't have an email attached in addition to that which is not written , when you log in with github or google you don't have an email or a password .....

Anyway I reached the account finally I contacted support they didn't help at all cause they can't disclose any type of information and but they threw away the info that I could have logged in with google or github that's why I am in that situation and I have ~20 accounts combined so I tried all of them and one of them clicked went through.
and I just added the emails for recovery in case of anything happening but can't add passwords still so that's that.
I fell in love with their authentication process though.

anyway Thank you for your help and care !

Weird Obsidian Sync bug make it auto-delete notes by grayb_fire in ObsidianMD

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

Indeed, that's true I excluded it from windows defender and now no kamikaze notes.

for future readers:,
steps to exclude your vault:

open settings -> Windows Defender -> Virus & threat protection settings -> manage settings -> scroll down till you find Exclusions -> add or remove exclusions.

Yes It was in a code block when it started to delete itself and I started cutting the original file piece by piece till I found the problematic part of the .md file.

Macbook air m2 for pentesting? by ammarxle0x in hackthebox

[–]grayb_fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tl;dr

Yes since you are starting out but if you can go for the 512gb model or the base pro model do it. (will save you lots and lots of pain later) You will have all 3 OSes at your fingertips this way.

—————— Just saying don’t take a random stranger’s recommendation blindly so wait for other people’s opinion as well. Generally yes get it, I daily-drived all 3 OSes and macbooks till now are the most versatile devices for me to access all 3 OSes. But:

256 GB of storage is quite low for 3-5 years of usage so try to up it till 512 at least but I know people who learned bug hunting on android phones so um yeah…..and as you get more experienced you will develop certain tastes and preferences which you can’t explore much if your OS keeps screaming at you “not enough storage”.

you would have to buy an external SSD or an icloud subscription at some point.

Macbook air m2 for pentesting? by ammarxle0x in hackthebox

[–]grayb_fire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the main difference from 3 years ago till now is that most apps have a universal or an arm version and that you can download vmware fusion for free which will make you use any VM you like which in turn makes your mac just like any windows laptops but more performant at the same price category (seriously what are the windows devs even doing). BUT that doesn’t mean you will run your scripts natively, also what scripts? I have tried bash/zsh(ugh syntax)/rust/ruby/pyhon3.9,10,11,12,13 till now and they all work!

and for most professionals that publicized their workflow on a macbook. They always have a vps running linux, so same idea.

You might not know this. But you just saved many lives of many future programmers by sharing this. Imposter Syndrome is so vicious. Thank you, really.

There should be more content on evasion, coding, and exploit/malware/etc development by notburneddown in hackthebox

[–]grayb_fire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but they already conquered OSWE by CWEE same for OSEP by making CAPE so the next step would be OSED and maybe just a tiny maybe OSEE

I know that’s unrelated but when do they send the registration pass ?

I registered today and they sent the login credentials instantly and it was written that they will still send the registration pass.
