@silverpenguin I know several people who have got into testing after being in other IT roles

silverpenguin

@kalina I think @Adi was expecting a viriginity related pun (i was also expecting it) then once he said not professionally, I was once again waiting for you to say somehting, you let me down

HamZa

(facepalm)

kalina

@silverpenguin well @Adi sadfaced it

Adi

:|

kalina

anyway seriously I'm bored out of my mind and need to leave

silverpenguin

14:01

@kalina ciao!

Adi

@TerryChia Yep. Thanks for being in the chat room, btw. I wouldn't have been able to convince these goons of the issue :p

silverpenguin

@RоryMcCune what was the first cert you got? (sorry for all of these personal questions)

Lighty

I bet @Simon wears two different kinds of socks

i think it exist for the $conn = mysql_connect() or die(); days

in PHP on Stack Overflow Chat, 40 secs ago, by Wes

because clearly it was too hard to write ($conn = mysql_connect()) || die(); :D

Rоry McCune

@silverpenguin no worries, this is all stuff that's on my Linkedin profile. in InfoSec it was CISSP, in testing Crest CCT (App) but then others like the OSCP weren't around when I started

silverpenguin

14:02

@HamZa this weekend? :D

TildalWave

@Adi privilege escalation on systems that permit multiple accounts with same login name?

silverpenguin

@RоryMcCune mind if i add you on linkedin? I wana stalk you a bit

HamZa

19 => saturday

silverpenguin

@HamZa ok babe, lets do this throws on shades

Rоry McCune

@silverpenguin feel free, I already have a load of recruitment types stalking me, put some kind of message on the invite tho' or I won't likely recongnize you :)

HamZa

14:03

@silverpenguin I don't think I will create a meta post since well, it's meant for "highschoolers' :P

Terry Chia

@RоryMcCune It's getting annoying lol. I have one recruiter connection request a day...

Rоry McCune

@TerryChia yeah I'm getting a huge uptick since the start of the year. to an extent it might be 'cause I added my CCT and some conf. speaking vids to my profile but it's daft...

silverpenguin

@HamZa yea lets hide our shame

@RоryMcCune added you!

Terry Chia

@RоryMcCune Mine is just those automated recruitment spam. Do recruiters actually get decent candidates this way..?

HamZa

I don't have a linkedin because of stalkerz

Thomas Pornin

14:05

@TerryChia Sometimes, recruiters locate candidates on LinkedIn.

silverpenguin

@HamZa stares lovingly

Rоry McCune

@TerryChia you wouldn't have thought so, but I reckon some are just playing the law of averages in that it's v. low effort to send, so even one hit in a thousand pays off

Adi

Me now

HamZa

@silverpenguin We could try bctf.cn but the rating is 30 (kinda hard?) aaaaand it's Chinese .... I'm afraid the challenges will be non-comprehensible....

silverpenguin

@HamZa what you mean you dont know chinese? you make me sick :<

@Adi your socks bother me

Lighty

14:08

@Adi lé gasps You're so rebellious!

maybe this is why you're so attractive!

Simon

Shut top lighty.

Lighty

@Simon You're just jealous of his style!

Q: Co-worker regularly placing his foot on my desk - how to get out of the situation?

A certain co-worker of mine has a habit of placing his foot on my desk while conversing with me. My desk is an L shape and where he stands is not across the desk from me, but at the end of one of the legs. This makes me uncomfortable as his crotch is at a relatively close distance to my face. I ...

^ found the culprit!

kalina

@Adi did you know your socks are mismatched

silverpenguin

@HamZa it might be in english! i dont care if they are high schoolers as long as we whoop them! but if we lose we cant tell anyone

HamZa

14:10

@silverpenguin no, the Chinese ctf isn't a highschool ctf

silverpenguin

@HamZa sorry im really bad at context... my two points were for two CTFs not just the chinese ones

first point = chinese, highschool = the other one

HamZa

@silverpenguin you're fired up hahaha

silverpenguin

@HamZa haha i enjoy this way of learning! this is the best way I have learnt alot from the last two CTFs

user136984

This really is a strange place...

HamZa

@ParanoidPanda ikr

then watch the ctf room in the weekend
Aaaand as you know, I need to work so I will probably be there in the evening (saturday) :P

Xander

14:14

@ParanoidPanda Nonsense. Welcome to Wonderland.

user136984

@Xander: Yep, that's what it feels like in here... :D

Adi

@silverpenguin Why?

silverpenguin

@Adi they dont match e_e

HamZa

@silverpenguin use regex!

Adi

@silverpenguin It's a sentimental thing. I used to buy socks with my fiancée and we'd exchange single socks out of the pairs so we can have all the colours together

The habit stuck with me

@kalina You should see the atrocity I was wearing yesterday :D

silverpenguin

14:18

@Adi I only wear plain black socks

Adi

Black on one foot and magenta on the other

silverpenguin

anything else kills me inside

Oh god, bad music, I'm off then! ;P

Rоry McCune

@ParanoidPanda we post good music sometimes too

Adi

@silverpenguin There's no good element in that music video. The music is awful, the singer is ugly, and the video probably triggers aneurysms

@silverpenguin I'm not talking about music

silverpenguin

@kalina ok fair!

kalina

my name isn't fair

AviD

@kalina Hi Isntfair, my name is AviD

kalina

that doesn't even make sense

AviD

@kalina it doesn't have to

Xander

14:42

@kalina Only because you don't have children.

@AviD sense is required

Rоry McCune

:28261432 ah you ninja'd my "inb4 @AviD deletes that"

AviD

lol

Ohnana

i missed it, come again?

@kalina +1

Rоry McCune

@Ohnana TWSS

AviD

@RоryMcCune I held that one back

Ohnana

@RоryMcCune AYOOOOOOOO

silverpenguin

14:45

@kalina +1 sounds like me after an all you can eat buffet

AviD

@RоryMcCune see what I said was borderline. But it would undoubtedly lead to unnecessary detail.

Rоry McCune

@AviD this is likely true

but then @kalina likely saw it, so that may occur anyway

kalina

:28261432 I saw that and... no...

AviD

I think most of my self-deletions are like that...

kalina

@Ohnana according to @AviD the stretching occurs before pregnancy

basically he's claiming he's a big dick

which I don't think anybody in here will challenge

Ohnana

14:48

uehuehue

AviD

lol

though I was not necessarily referring to myself

I do not tend to share that information, one way or the other, with strangers on the internet.

or strangers at all.

you're strange

well, except in a secluded park.

@kalina I would not argue that point.

silverpenguin

@AviD do you have mod rights to change peoples names on SE?

kalina

yes

the answer to your next question is "no"

Ohnana

@silverpenguin yes

AviD

14:53

@silverpenguin not directly, but yes

@kalina exactly.

kalina

and the answer to the question after that is "definitely not"

silverpenguin

how much would the size of the required bribe be for you to change @Ohnana name to @Ohnana montana ?

AviD

@kalina damn you're good

Ohnana

@silverpenguin yes

@silverpenguin enough for you to escape to siberia

AviD

@silverpenguin infinite, or infinitesimal

kalina

14:54

@silverpenguin you definitely have more chance of directly paying @Ohnana to change name

AviD

@kalina I will take that as a sign of the respect you secretly have for me.

silverpenguin

@AviD my offer is 1 pack of m&m's and 2 english crown farthings

AviD

@silverpenguin try that on @Ohnana, lemme know how it goes.

kalina

@AviD I'm not convinced it's "respect"

Ohnana

>:(

Mark Buffalo

14:55

I'm sorry, but I have to downvote this. 1) The OP is describing a Ciphertext Indistinguishably attack, NOT a known plaintext attack. 2) Your answer of "Nah, everything's fine" is dangerously misleading without mentioning IVs, and making sure your PRNG has a good entropy source. — Mike Ounsworth 13 hours ago

AviD

@kalina what is the opposite of "total disrespect"?

Mark Buffalo

might want to bring attention to this

accepted answer is wrong-a-dong

silverpenguin

@Ohnana 1 pack of m&m's and 2 english farthings?

kalina

@AviD oh I'm capable of respect, I'm just saying you don't have it

you maybe have like 10% respect

it's a positive value otherwise you'd be on ignore

Ohnana

@silverpenguin you can do better than that

kalina

14:56

or... well, generally ignored without being on ignore

AviD

@kalina I know you're capable, I meant as to how much you have for myself.

@kalina see, it's really secret

silverpenguin

@Ohnana you are more of a snickers man?

AviD

@silverpenguin read as "2 English farting"

@kalina I'll take it

Ohnana

no, with the amount you'd have to offer, we'd need a tax professional to help

kalina

@AviD well yes, if somebody completely understood the inner working of my emotionally damaged brain then they could manipulate me into getting what they want

silverpenguin

14:57

@AviD I can give him alot more than that if that is his desired currency

AviD

@kalina how about "partially understand" ?

not that I claim I do

kalina

@AviD I was going to say

AviD

I'm sure you are a lot more complex than I can grasp through this thin medium of SE chat

kalina

or text based communication in general

hey you know that feeling when you're waiting for an email

AviD

or communication in general

kalina

14:58

I hate it

also I think having a netflix subscription is a danger to my productivity

AviD

@kalina too much chillin'?

Xander

@MarkBuffalo It's five years old, so....

kalina

@AviD I'm not sure there is such a thing as too much "chillin'"

it is however giving me another thing to do that isn't working

AviD

@kalina well, if it affects your productivity....

kalina

@AviD in that instance my productivity could take a short to medium term hit

AviD

15:02

though I am reminded of that Seinfeld episode when Elaine was helping her fiance pass the bar

Rоry McCune

@AviD overcoming alcoholism is hard

AviD

@RоryMcCune or maybe it was a doctor test

Rory Alsop

@kalina nope. Always hundreds too many emails. :-)

If only I could avoid getting emails

Adi

@kalina Kisu is my GF. That one passed away a few years ago

Rory Alsop

Or more accurately avoid having to receive emails

15:09

A real linkedIn invite from a phisher

well played

Ohnana

@Lighty accept it yo

Lighty

@Ohnana I am concidering actually, just to see what he wants

but looking at what info he could get

like, LinkedIn is 99% public anyways

kalina

@silverpenguin surface pro 4

HamZa

@silverpenguin ikr

silverpenguin

@kalina por que?

Rоry McCune

15:16

@DavidFreitag yeah I think I'll go for that EVGA 980 TI and PSU combo. I was looking to see if there's anything new due out between now and May (when the Vive should show up ) but nothing looks promising, so will likely get it later this month...

kalina

@silverpenguin superior hardware

silverpenguin

@kalina no doubt :P but i was just looking at the chrome book bug bounties

David Freitag

@RоryMcCune digitaltrends.com/computing/…

But that's probably more like june-july

Rоry McCune

yeah I have a feeling I'll just miss the next-gen of cards...

but I guess a 980 TI should be ok for the short-medium term...

David Freitag

Yup. But the 980 TI is by no means a slouch

@RоryMcCune I would say 5 years is a decent estimate

Simon

15:20

@Lighty Oh, that's ovid!

Rоry McCune

@DavidFreitag by which time the rest of it will be due a refresh...

hell we'll have 3D Xpoint by then

Simon

You're an xpoint.

David Freitag

@RоryMcCune Yup. I'd expect the 1000 series cards are a refresh of the 900 series anyway

Rоry McCune

@Simon alas and alack it is true, I remember by days of being a point, but they are far behind me now

Simon

wat

David Freitag

15:22

Of course that does mean there are some optimizations in power and performance

Adi

@Lighty He's been sending invites to our company as well

@HamZa It's alright. Thanks

@kalina Yeah. Long story, war stuff.

kalina

@DavidFreitag I wonder if they're going to go all the way around again

David Freitag

@kalina Hm?

kalina

@Adi virtual hugs are no where near sufficient but I'm sure you'll appreciate the sentiment

@DavidFreitag four digit models

Simon

o ffs not him

David Freitag

15:24

@kalina I can't see how they will be able to avoid it

kalina

@DavidFreitag five digit models

David Freitag

@kalina heh

Simon

@DavidFreitag six digit models

David Freitag

Then they will have 50 cards in the range instead of just 10 or 12

kalina

Maybe it's about time for a new product range

GeForce has worn out now

Mark Buffalo

15:25

Or from people with fake companies that don't exist

David Freitag

@MarkBuffalo It's too bad you're happily married

"happily"

@MarkBuffalo Getting invites from people with fake companies that exist would be amazing.

@Simon Well, there are a lot off fake / shell companies out there... which are really, but are actually fake. It's complicated

David Freitag

15:29

@MarkBuffalo That's... not that complicated.

Matthew

@kalina That certainly gives more possibilities, but could result in some difficulties for the marketing department trying to sell new cards...

kalina

@Matthew let's be fair, these companies exist primarily because of the bulk purchase low end models anyway which require zero knowledge to choose one

it's only the nerds that care about how many terafloppixelcudacorefloatingpointthingymajigs

Matthew

@kalina True. "Does it play Minecraft? Yes? Sold!"

kalina

"can it play LoL?"

Matthew

I was playing Prison Architect the other night, in the new escape mode

It seemed a bit easy

kalina

15:32

I bought prison architect and then never played it

Mark Buffalo

@kalina Because you already are one in real life, right?

Matthew

I took my maximum security prisoner through the prison, walking slightly faster than the guards, then followed a rubbish truck out of the gates, whilst the gate guard ignored me

Mark Buffalo

I believe @kalina has her own dungeon... for reasons.

Matthew

@MarkBuffalo I have a dungeon. Well, I have a damp dingy cellar. It has implements of torture in. Well, it has tools in

Mark Buffalo

@Matthew O_O

kalina is probably a CIA torturer

Adi

15:35

@kalina I very much do. Thank you

Mark Buffalo

@Adi that's screwed up, man. :/

Sorry you had to go through that shit

Adi

@MarkBuffalo It's cool. Thanks

Ohnana

i kinda want to slap the shit out of the republican party. constantly whining about how much they want to go to war with people

no you morons, those are people

kalina

@MarkBuffalo what, a prison architect?

Mark Buffalo

@Ohnana I'm a registered republican, but here's what's really bothering me lately:

1. They are anti-living wage.
2. They are pro-life (good), but their actions are anti-life: a) many women abort when they know they don't have enough money to take care of their baby. b) They oppose contraceptives and birth control which prevent unwanted pregnancies to begin with... you aren't going to convince people to stop fucking. But by denying access to birth control and contraceptives, more babies are aborted....

in reality, they are a bunch of fucking hypocrites

Ohnana

15:41

@MarkBuffalo that's a pro-life viewpoint i can get behind

kalina

@MarkBuffalo I'm sorry but I'm not going to be forbidden access to contraceptives just because some man says so

Mark Buffalo

oh, and anti-education, so single moms can't get out of poverty

leading to more abortion...

Ohnana

@kalina yeah that's what he's saying

kalina

@Ohnana that isn't what the words I just read said

Ohnana

it's stupid to say "abortion is bad" and then institute policy that makes it more likely that someone has to abort

Mark Buffalo

15:42

fact of the matter is, the majority of abortions can be stopped if right-wingers would stop being so herpy derpy derp

@Ohnana THIS

you aren't going to stop people from fucking... just give them contraceptives/birth control/sex education

kalina

the entire pro life thing is missing the point, I'm already alive, it's my choice and my choice takes precedence over a small of flesh that is unable to think for itself at this point in time

Mark Buffalo

oh, and republicans are 3. anti-sex-education

leading to more unwanted pregnancies, and thus, more abortions

@kalina I'm good at making enemies out of both sides of the debate :>

Ohnana

@kalina i agree with you. but it's a moral debate about whether a fetus deserves personhood and the protections that go with that. and moral debates are notoriously hard to win

kalina

@Ohnana it's an entire speculative discussion, there are a lot of things that could go wrong during said nine month period, as the person who already achieved personhood my situation and well being > *

Matthew

@kalina Exactly. Pro-choice. I don't think many women want lots of abortions, but if they want to have one due to a mistake/accident/rape, then they should be able to get one safely and legally, along with aftercare and support if they need it

Mark Buffalo

15:45

@Ohnana my biggest issue here is that republicans consistently take anti-education, anti-constitution, and anti-life stances without even realizing it.

David Freitag

Damn man I could really use a toothpick right about now

Ohnana

@MarkBuffalo no they do realize it, it's what their core supporter base wants

they're the klan and fundamentalist party now, and it's a damn shame

Mark Buffalo

@Ohnana I don't see a whole lot of republican 'values' lining up with the bible

kalina

HOW DID I GET PROVOKED INTO A POLITICAL DISCUSSION

I'm leaving.

Mark Buffalo

Jesus: take care of the poor
Republican Jesus: f' the poor

Ohnana

15:48

yeah, i hosed that up. forgot that the Bible and "the bible" are two different things in america

Rоry McCune

@kalina yeah but are you pro-EU or anti-EU?

Mark Buffalo

destroying the environment for $$$ = republican past-time. Many of them oppose the EPA, etc

@kalina Sorries... come backs! I'll stop d:

Matthew

@RоryMcCune I'm pro-EU - they're slightly less insane than our leaders...

silverpenguin

@RоryMcCune what are your thoughts on that subject!

Rоry McCune

@silverpenguin pretty much what @Matthew said.

they're crap but somewhat likely to be less dangerous than the native UK politicians

Mark Buffalo

15:53

@RоryMcCune I want less insane leaders in this country

Rоry McCune

@MarkBuffalo your election cycle so far indicates you may not get your wish...

Ohnana

@MarkBuffalo HAHA! good fucking luck

Mark Buffalo

:'-(

Matthew

I don't really feel that "insane" or "slightly insane" is a good set of options

Ohnana

D';

thankfully i turn 21 before the election so i can drown my sorrows in everclear

Mark Buffalo

15:55

you... you aren't... 21 yet?

I thought you were like 25 or something

Ohnana

nope, i'm 20
