How to get good at figuring out how a proprietary program's network protocol works?
Ryder Ross
Well, stats so far is that 2 of 2 are working.
Austin Wilson
goolag,
Anthony King
first you have to learn a bunch of networking protocols so you have a base to work with. after you have that, you can start looking for repeating data and patterns and try to correlate them with the information you're stuffing down the network pipe.

There's a new(?) cyberboard in town.

So far I haven't seen a good explanation of how adnauseam works. For the ads to register clicks, you would have to download and run all the code attached to the ad, right? Why should I run potentially malicious code on my machine, especially when the effect on google is dubious at best? I dislike google as much as the next guy, but adnauseam seems pretty suspicious.
Landon Anderson
i thought those board names were similar, its just lainchan.jp that changed names.
Jackson Robinson
It has some unpleasant side effects many fail to consider: you enter, say, a porn site, and the system clicks wildly on ads found. Google takes notes that this is, supposedly, what catches your interest and your profile gets ugly. When next time you browser without adblock you will see the results.
Noah Brown
>When next time you browser without adblock when would that be?
it probably just follows the links.

The FTP server is up again.
Robert Myers
"follows the links" can mean a lot of things. Does it just send a GET request and ignore what it gets back? Does it load all the resources from that site? Does it render an execute everything? The ad network may have a POST in some piece of js that actually counts the "click." In that case you'd have to execute a ton of sketchy shit for it to even register.

In my case when I use Google at work. No, I did not browser pr0n, what happened was that a friend suggested I get a second hand Russian bride. And man, did Google ever respond to that one. It has basically forced me over to Bing.

Is it possible to encrypt my hard drive without losing all the data on it?
Connor Cooper
That place seems pretty unstable. First they break from .org then they merge with a weird cult and Russians and now they've changed names.
Alexander Reed
wut
you guys combined the threads together again?
Austin Hall
Both threads were shit and dying when they were apart. So now they're together and slightly less dead.
Jaxon Cook
>nobody in these threads is even working in anything
haha what a surprise
Christopher Murphy
Yeah, that was a bit weird.
Looking as we have 9 in the poll and 16 posters here it is possible that the /sec/ people are too paranoid to use strawpoll.
What is good to see is that there are none out of job. Getting back in is really painful these days.
Oh, and the user working in /cyb/: please do tell more!
Justin Reed
>Let's split the threads >No it'll divide the few people who post in them and both will be completely dead >Fuck you we split the threads >*both topics die* >Combine them again >*alive* >Hey guys let's split the threads up, these idiots don't know anything about security >*splits* >Both threads dead again >recombine again >*Alive*
Amazing.
How long before someone starts demanding we split the thread up again? Actually I think we're on the third time of doing this, not the second?
Josiah Murphy
>How long before someone starts demanding we split the thread up again? He is at it all the time. I just tune him out.
Ryder Mitchell
Hook send and recv and dump to file
Logan Campbell
No more unstable than here.
Ian Baker
I've missed this
Jayden Lewis
Guess the threads would just be better off dead then.
Alexander Wood
I liked the old colorscheme better tbf the name change is a good thing though, they should have done that from the start it was bound to happen
Evan Davis
people who want to split them are those who never contribute any /sec/ talk but want to be LEET.
Leo King
I'm in the UK looking to get into a junior pen testing role after just completing a cyber security degree; what are employers looking for?
Henry Bell
infosec doesn't really have many junior roles. they want competent pen testers. set up your own lab and figure out how to pwn various oses.

Ayden Bennett
you can always start out in a SOC or some shit. There is definitely a way to work your way to things.
