Hi, I have been following along with the cyber mentors tutorial on basic hacking and I’ve gotten stuck trying to get a connection to Kioptrix level 1. I have set up both Kali and Kioptrix on NAT however when I try using netdiscover or arp-scan only 3 IP’s come up one ending with .1 another with .2 and the third is my own ip. From what I’m aware I should be getting a 4’th IP for the Kioptrix VM. Do I have to run them simultaneously or something? Any help is much appreciated as I’m very new

I’m look for some hand-on Linux+ and Security+ exercises. For some reason my payment is not being accepted and don’t have time to go down that rabbit hole. I’m will to pay $$-$$$$ Anything would be appreciated!

Hello!

Our school implemented an SSL inspection tool called ContentKeeper. It’s super annoying. Im currently running ubuntu on a USB stick at school as the laptops there don’t even allow us to install python (which I have a class for)

Normally all requests go through as expected when using a laptop without my own OS, but whenever I try to use mine I get a MITM warning that I can’t ignore. Absolutely no connections are making it through to shadowsocks or any sort of proxy server on both my home PC or a hosted server.

Also I cannot make any connection with SSH from the school network

Here are some things I have tried:

Shadowsocks: Nope no connection at all on ports 80, 443 or default?? Theres a small chance that i messed up something but im also not even able to ssh into my pc or my server from the school internet on my ubuntu stick

​

Remoting into my home PC is an option but the basic things I have tried (chrome remote desktop, parsec, steam remote play) all do not have internet access.

​

Tor: Nope

​

OpenVPN ports 80, 443: Nope 🙁

​

DNS tunnel (I cant find any decent tutorial and I keep seeing everywhere that it slows connection; I need a fast connection ideally for remote desktop with low latency): Havent tried

​

I do have connection from my IOS and Android device when I connect to a free VPN (XVPN) however installing it on the laptop makes it not work for some reason (Have tried many VPNS)

​

Sorry for the massive block of text. Also please go easy on me because I am slightly newer to networking! 🙂

I will update the post with things I have tried and will respond to every comment with advice.

Thank you in advance!

A certain messaging app with 2FA has locked me out after mistakes of my own making. It looks hopeless form the outside, but something intrigues me. I know my login, but the 2FA App that it wants to to use (Google Authenticator) has been removed. Thus I have no way to know what the code actually is. However, it is that it still is taking requests. In other words, I have unlimited attempts to guess just this six digit code. I have never run into limits in the myriad incorrect attempts I have had, which leads me to my question for this sub: which software best for brute forcing a six digit 2FA verification code?

I’ve heard about various options: Jack the Ripper, Dave Grohl, etc. My question is what, if any, is recommended specifically for br*te forcing a six digit code, rather than a password. Ostensibly a far easier process. Again, the username and password are already known.

The current sequence is as follow: login screen => correct email and password => enter the six digit code from authentication app =>login access granted. I currently only need help with the last step.

Feel free to DM any advice you wish not to disclose publicly. Thanks.

Note: This is for MY OWN account that I am now locked out of. Thus, I have no reservations about acquiring a means to ultimately retrieve my own information. I fully believe that this information is ultimately mine before that of the company in charge of this messaging app. Therefore, spare me any “you shouldn’t be doing this” comments. Rather, I would argue ardently, that all end users are entitled to their data that they provide at the of the day. End of discussion.

I wanna make my own ps5 because i cant afford it. The problem is that i don’t know how to bypass all checks and i don’t know how to make a pup file in a readable format.

(I don’t know if this really belongs here, but) I need some help with my school laptop. I would like to visit websites that I can not normally visit. I would not like to visit anything inappropriate, but some websites have information that I may need for reports or projects. For some reason, there is a very large amount of blocked websites (that I need to visit), some of them nonsensical. The system is pretty well made, I have checked everything I have thought of so far. Any ideas?
