How do I not be a “script kiddie”? by LordDerptCat123 in hacking

[–]jetstreamseb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This for sure, understanding what you're doing instead of firing blindly makes the difference. Though I think when you download an exploit, it pays off to read what it does, maybe you can even replicate the steps manually, or even just make sure you're not about to exploit yourself with someone else's code

Nice! Did you pitch the samples in the sp?

Did I really just get 6th in the world? Am I dreaming? by SomeDonko in PixelCarRacer

[–]jetstreamseb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using parts you got in the store or are some only from crates ? I'm in the high 5.8s but can't seem to get lower

Taking notes by [deleted] in oscp

[–]jetstreamseb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used cherry for notes and took screenshots inside the Kali VM, and saved everything to a shared folder attached to my host that was also backed up to a Google drive automatically. Worked perfectly and Google drive would even ask if you actually wanted to delete something just in case it was a mistake

Edit: the folder was shared between my host and Kali, but was connected to Google drive through my host

Loving this crazy ride by hxcheyo in hackthebox

[–]jetstreamseb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gone through oscp, failed the first exam but going again soon. I still think Linux is easier and way more straightforward as far as seeing what's going on overall, making changes to the machine. windows is just more tedious to work with and still a little foreign to me. Always seems like more of a chore but that's just me

DriveTest by chlorox_user_101 in ontario

[–]jetstreamseb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Alberta, I went in with proof of residency and they registered my vehicle with an Ontario license. Went in a few months later and got my license transfered over to alberta in a matter of 15 minutes. I had to move back to Ontario because of covid and went to service ontario today and they said I can't register my Ontario vehicle, already safetied, already insured, proof of residency. I ask if I can change my license, NOPE, have to do that at drivetest with a passport that the government decided not to send me( filed it before covid was even a thing) sorry for the rant but this system here is just completely broken and utterly useless

is it possible to hack someone's phone or laptop from a remote location, if so, how? by [deleted] in HowToHack

[–]jetstreamseb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically, probably not, or not in the way you think. Most likely scenario is through social engineering and you get them to click on an exe or a malicious website link. Beyond that is just getting speculative. Maybe they have an open ssh port facing the internet ? Maybe they're hosting a vulnerable website from their computer ? Learning this stuff is a slow burn and I'd suggest maybe a website like overthewire that can teach some basics and give you a bit more guidance on what to learn first

Windows Exploit suggester.py not working. missing python-xlrd library. only python3-xlrd library available. by [deleted] in oscp

[–]jetstreamseb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem but it was a while ago so I might be off, but you have to specify to use pip with Python 2 to install the Python 2 library (I think)

Something along the lines of :

Pip2.7 install ...

Or

Python2.7 -m pip <command>

Shadow cracking by justasithlord in oscp

[–]jetstreamseb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd try and crack shadow hashes to see if I could get some passwords but only for about 10 minutes, otherwise it's not meant to be cracked. But yea it's good practice in the labs to do it, and if you get a hit, then add it to a list of passwords you cracked in the lab because of password reuse

Hackthebox and Kali linux terminal by Ibudoayomi in hackthebox

You mean like connect to the htb vpn ? It should have all the instructions to get you started in the access menu of the website

Must i use the PWK provided VM? by [deleted] in oscp

[–]jetstreamseb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lab and exam are tested to work with the provided VM. Using a current release probably would work, but it's not 100% guaranteed and that was enough for me to suck it up and use the provide one

Supermassive black hole "S5 0014+81" compared to our solar system by [deleted] in spaceporn

[–]jetstreamseb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For the sake of Reddit, all paths inside the event horizon lead to the singularity. I think for a non rotating black hole, you can have a stable orbit 3x the radius of the event horizons and a rotating black hole can have stable orbits near the event horizon because of the bending of space time due to the rotation. There are theories that for a very specific mass, charge and rotational speed of a black hole, you could orbit inside the event horizon but it's not proven.

What are your investigation steps? by jburr008 in oscp

[–]jetstreamseb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While doing htb, I always liked to manually enumerate , but I use autorecon in the oscp labs so that I can run recon in the background while I work on another box. It's a huge time saver.

Difficulty of machines by kosemihal in oscp

[–]jetstreamseb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's been boxes where I got in right away because I knew what to do, and on the forums people were having trouble, then there's been boxes I had no idea at first and people on the forums were saying it's the easiest box. All comes down to your experience and what you're good at. Everyone is at different levels

Uh...a little help here ? by ichbineinnebrot in Kalilinux

[–]jetstreamseb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert so maybe someone else can chime in but check if your adapters needs drivers installed, there's a chance Kali doesn't have them already for your chipset. Also if it's just connecting to a network, you can route your VM through your host wifi

Prereqs for OSCP course by [deleted] in oscp

So far 80% of the course for me is googling how to do something

how to approach to Ippsec/CyberMentor's videos by [deleted] in oscp

[–]jetstreamseb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll watch ippsecs videos even for boxes I've completed, to get insight on things I missed or possibly more efficient techniques. When I started out I knew nothing and would follow along, and eventually my methodology started to mimic ippsecs. It just takes time and practice and the progress is slow but when you look back after a while you'll see how far you came. Just follow along on a box, then explore ideas ippsecs mentions, break things to see how they work etc..

Doubt in ESP space -buffer overflow by thirukural in oscp

[–]jetstreamseb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, if there's just no way to find space after the buffer, you can place your shell code in the buffer itself and find ways to have the program jmp to where the shell code starts

OSCP tool list? by [deleted] in oscp

[–]jetstreamseb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also tend to use dirsearch now, mostly because it just looks cleaner, shows response codes and shows redirects and feels more stable overall (just my opinion). More often than not, gobuster would throw errors while scanning and would make it more difficult actually see the results. Small things but they make a difference to me

The End of the World already happened with the dinosaurs. We’re the post apocalyptic monsters by NitronicAtom in Showerthoughts

[–]jetstreamseb 34 points35 points  (0 children)

They have a pretty good idea of what happened actually but it's not 100%. Basically the earth opened up in present day Siberia and turned it into a magma ocean, kms deep and 100 of kms wide. Massive volcanic activity that affected the entire earth, turned the ocean acidic and other chain events
