I see you post these ever so rarely, but i think it's mostly because of the Anonymous tier shit links and vocabulary you post. Like: >How To Become a Hacker
some resources are really good and it pities me that you rarely post these

I personally love these threads. They are the only ones I filter to the top of the board.
Julian Hughes
That's the name of the article son. ESR a shit but that article is good for fresh meat
Adam Bennett
Is learning a foreign language like Chinese or Russian useful in the netsec field? Or do most experts from those countries speak english anyways?
Ayden Brown
unless your going to be a fucking communications especialist in the army or your going to become le mlg spy (spies aren't what you usually see in movies, more like regular office jobs) then yes
Jack Martinez
How much protection does doing my browsing in a VM buy me? I'm under the impression that VM escapes are fairly rare and difficult to use, and not found in garden-variety malware, is that the case?
Camden Ramirez
Code execution probably not. Memory of host, possibly
James Jones
Does anyone else suffer from crippling procrastination? I look at all the sites OP posted under learning and just get overwhelmed by the amount of stuff that's there. I wish I had matrix-style insta download of knowledge.
Thanks for threads like this.
Jaxson Robinson
are there any good rainbow table tools for linux that are legit, no viruses or anything?
Noah James
anyone want to team up for picoCTF? only 2 days left tho
Ethan Cook
I got this too. What I learn is just jump into it and expect to fail. Even hope to fail and just try to do something else.
Find something that looks really cool or sounds like something you can get into and once you excel at it, you will either love the other fields or you will learn you hate it(in which case you only wasted some time learning instead of learning all of it and then hating it or worse go to school and waste money.
Dominic Nelson
I'll start posting them weekly. If any one has any good resources feel free to share them.
Charles Wright
k&r's pretty good

thanks so much, this is exactly what the question was intending me to use! i'm not sure why it didn't show up on google
Hudson Morales
Just start.
Jose Clark
Buy a book. A real book. Any book on this topic. Once you spend real money on it, you'll read it, because you don't want to waste your real money, do you?

>tfw using john the ripper actually the base install didn't work for md5 so i'm having to install the "jumbo" edition
Carson Moore
It was preinstalled on backtrack. You could find a lot of good tool suggestion from that community.
Chase Smith
the jumbo version worked like a charm, the reason the base install was taking forever was because it was resorting to incremental mode so brute forcing.. i had to set it to raw-MD5 mode manually b/c it didn't recognize it but i suspected that was it. capture the flags are so fun, i'm doing pico ctf right now
Grayson Bennett
is he right? is debian the script kiddie distro?
Josiah Brooks
if you want to investigate forums in native language and pick tidbits from hacked docs/code then yes. otherwise use google translate.
Ryder Smith
is it true that once you have a solid foothold inside a company network that it's mostly a matter of when not if you get access to domain admin?
Austin Ward
No, that's Arch.
Blake Morris
Anyone have any ideas for a birthday gift? It's for my brother who is a pentester. He's been there for me and I remember reading Little Brother together which sparked his interest initially.
Anthony Campbell
"solid foothold"
Colton Anderson
Why not get something he's interested in as a human being?
Sebastian Davis
Are there any online video resource about this kind of stuff? especially about networking
What resources do you guys recommend for someone who wants a bigger and in-depth understanding in networking. NOT HACKING. Since you need a good basis on networking to become a good hacker, anyways.
Lincoln Baker
some of the gargen variety stuff is implementing VM checks so it doesn't execute in a VM.
Andrew Morgan
Cybrary, they have a free network+ class and some other networking stuff I believe.
thanks mr shark
Landon Hill
Learning the OSI model and where each layer exists in a network is very very useful, learn how a switch works, learn routers and common routing protocols
Jeremiah Diaz
not really netsec, but what do you think about number stations and other radio related things like SDR etc?
It really isn't. Most professional (retard) security people love to talk about this all day, but there are few things to do on layer 2 and 3. Setup firewall, memorize ports. Most of the security action is layer 7 and 8, although I wish SANS would shut the fuck up about the 8.
Owen Walker
Take adderall. It's a wonderful drug.
Landon Barnes
I fucking hate the OOOSPOOKY mood that surrounds number stations. They're nothing mysterious. In fact they're quite well documented. We just don't know what the content of the messages is but it's clear that they are meant for spies using one-time pads. There was even a guy on youtube that used to collect some of the hardware that is used to generate the noise and number sequences. I can't remember his name though.
Luis Peterson
Thanks mr sharko
Luis Murphy
>Most of the security action is layer 7 and 8
I thought there were only 7 layers of the OSI model
John Taylor
Learn Cisco. You'll learn about routing protocols and how to configure networks properly. CCNA material is what you're looking for.
Eli Jenkins
There are a few more. The 8th layer is the human layer.
Layer 8: The individual person. Layer 9: The organization. Layer 10: Government or legal compliance
Eli Flores
this sounds stupid
Nathan Young

OP Should link the vault 7 leaks, they're an interesting read.
Samuel Howard

People just like to shit on things, not actually study them
Leo Walker
I'd study them if I knew what they were talking about.
Ayden Lopez
tl;dr CIA is hoarding zero day exploits for a shit ton of devices/operating systems and they're super spooky and can hax your tv
Elijah Wood
computer network's and internet's alright. i have to read it for a class, one of those where the professor doesn't teach and you have to learn it yourself. they're super jewey about not letting you even download the ebook so idk if there's any pdf's
Parker Jenkins
layer 8 is social engineering, which is an important part of security

fucking reddit..
Jordan Fisher
Non-free software
Jason Cooper
You betcha they are. Pretty much this, but not just it. They developped a lot of tools and ways to utilize em. Also lots of procedures. They basically threw redonkulous amounts of money to hire good engineers dedicated to giving them the technical means to reach their goals. You can take a wild guess what those goals are. Then again, the more you think about it, the more it sounds like super fun doing that. No wonder they brag in their documentation. >Paid fucktons o' shekels to devise new ways to fuck with people >Where do I sign
with the rise of the internet of things, we should definitely see an increase of attacks like this.
Connor Williams

Aiden Barnes
i'm scared that cyber sec will become a meme like software development overrun by wannabe hackers / people doing it because the media told them its ez
Evan Morgan
I mean isn't that every field now
Mason Cooper
i'm not too sure on that, I have been seeing it more in "coding" with the media going insane over how much programmers make and how easy it is to start (girlswhocode, regular code camps, etc)

Women have their tits in a twist because there aren't as many women in tech... so what?? some fields are dominated by different genders, women for education, men for tech, etc. There's nothing wrong with a gender gap, it's not doing any harm at all.
more important to get results/good code rather than pander to sjws..

Brody Campbell
Shit, I'm confusing something here. If the IP packet encapsulates the TCP segment or UDP datagram, how the fuck does TCP proves reliability to the IP packets being delivered?
Connor Lopez
its not really what the TCP message says, its how its handled. look into TCP handshakes, that will get you started understand why TCP provides reliabilty
Justin Murphy
should we bring back the irc or use something else like discord or tox
Can anyone give me a quick rundown of what the fuck Spanning Tree Protocol is?
James Bennett
there's really no way to get into a cyber security career without a security clearance right?
Ian Cox
There are many careers in cyber security that don't need security clearance. Security clearance are usually for government jobs.
Connor Watson
ah ok, I live in an area composed of mostly defense contractors so I've been getting that impression from most job listings.

This, minorities always get offended by being a minority it doesn't matter what it's about. It saddens me they can't accept it and move on.

If you need to ask then just don't.

Bump.
Zachary Price
Does anyone here work in network security/cyber security? Whats your day at work like? Work-life balance?
Carson Brown
>that they are meant for spies using one-time pads. Wouldn't they be using RSA by now?

Something like hackforums, but way more mature and serious. Not about hacking like a kid.

What would be the best option for running a VM OS?
I was thinking of installing a barebone stable OS that doesn't need updates frequently which is also hardened and install QEMU and Veracrypt. It'd be great if I could run multiple VMs at the same time.
Are there any tutorials out there? Maybe there's a setup already made for this?
Zachary Edwards
>I was thinking of installing a barebone stable OS that doesn't need updates frequently which is also hardened
debian on vmware done
James Ward
So am I supposed to install vmware onto my hardrive and boot that?
