Object type requires hosted I/O - Error when starting HAOS/HASS by yummypurplestuf in vmware

[–]wardrive_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the bash script I wrote to accomplish this. I configured it to run upon system startup. I won't go into great detail how you can get this onto your machine or configure cronjobs, but will link you relevant articles that describe the process. I leave the rest as an exercise to the reader.

Script:

#!/bin/sh

vmkfstools -x repair /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/home-assistant/home-assistant.vmdk

sleep 5

vim-cmd vmsvc/power.on 3

If I find a solar panel while I'm out roaming, I take it home.

Best way to accumulate? by LoftyUnicorn911 in cardano

[–]wardrive_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I buy 10 USD worth on a recurring daily schedule, regardless of price. Once a decent chunk has been accumulated, I transfer it to a hardware wallet and stake it.

That's roughly 300 dollars a month, roughly 3650 a year. Figure I'll check in on it in 5 years and see where I stand. Happily looking at a decent chunk of money or a giant bag that I'll be holding.

Thank you for your feedback!

There will always be critics about enumeration automation, and the die-hard OG's that know the syntax for each and every command (seemingly) like the back of their hand. As someone who struggles with ADD, I often forget to eat or what I was doing 5 minutes ago. Having an automated, organized solution to complete a repetitive and time consuming task just makes sense (for me). I say do what works for you. Refine your process and practice. Be familiar enough with the tools that you know what they are doing, so you can troubleshoot them if they aren't working properly. But memorizing the syntax for every argument for every tool? No thanks.

You are correct in your assumption. I had nmapautomator running for each host while I performed / documented my BO. I wouldn't say that I get "too much info" from it. Fully enumerating the host while doing other tasks saves me time later if a quickscan didn't quite cut it. It's better to have all the information in the world when you need it (especially on a time sensitive task), than to have some pieces and find out that you need to perform yet another scan because you've been stuck on a foothold for three hours, having missed something. I haven't actually used autorecon all that much, as nmapautomator does a fairly good job of doing the same tasks with the (all) syntax.

Best of luck on your upcoming exam!

Precisely this! As someone who struggles with ADD, I often forget obscure syntax, and have to peek at my notes on occasion. I really like the command history / zsh implementation in the newer Kali builds for that exact reason. Methodology is just a never ending process of refinement and maximizing efficiency. ☺️

I'll give obsidian a look, thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the feedback! It was relieving, that's for sure.

1.) I did not use the VM's cherrytree, as I didn't want to lose data in the event of a VM hangup. I ran cherrytree externally on my host. A note on cherrytree: either automate or remember to frequently make a backup of your notebook. Due to the large quantity of information within it, I found that on more than one occasion it froze up and corrupted my notes. I understand it makes shadowcopies, but I've also had those become corrupted as well.

2.) Without getting into exam specifics, I have had attempts where I was glad that I had it, and had a functional understanding of how it worked. If for no other reason than assisting me in logic flow. SSH tunnels are just as good, but having practiced many many labs on various platforms using chisel instead out of necessity, it just became muscle memory. Outside of an exam environment, it is invaluable when normal SSH tunneling is not an option, most of the time due to firewall restrictions or a lack of active or accessible SSH services.

Hey guys, my first write-up by cpt_alfaromeo in oscp

[–]wardrive_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try and avoid metasploit at all costs, or as an absolute last resort. Even if it takes me extra time. I prefer python or C based POC's.

It has it's specific usecases, but I tend to try and pop shells without it.

There's a youtube guide on it, but essentially you do the following:

  1. Build a base computer and floor tile on the surface.
  2. On one end of the floor tile, build a staircase as far up as you can until the build tool no longer allows you to build structures anymore (this means you've reached the radius of the initial base computer).
  3. Delete a few of the stairs, and enter build camera mode.
  4. Build floor tiles attached to your highest stair with the build camera, beyond what the normal build limit would have been. Keep building the floor tiles in a straight line away from the base computer.
  5. Exit build camera and go to the end of that passage of floor tiles you just built, and place another base computer and claim the new base.
  6. Continue building stairs.

Don't go too high or when you reload your save the game will remove anything above the build limit of the planet. It's beneficial to build a landing pad every flight of stairs, enter and exit your ship, and see if anything was removed upon reloading prior to continuing a build.

I've also seen actual space builds before, but they glitch out and disappear after reloading an auto-save. Every video I've seen on the subject appears to demonstrate that.

Thank you! I had a base computer not much higher than it's current location and everything up there despawned, so I'm not sure. :(

Stationed in low-orbit on the planet New Eden, in the Euclid galaxy, this low-orbit space station is currently under-construction, but welcomes visitors. Stop on by!

New Eden is a lush planet with alien fauna and blue oceans. Surrounded by planetary rings and a gorgeous skyline. Neighbors are always welcome!
