OP me?

Can't describe how I feel looking back at this post from April, 2020 and realising that I just got a job last month as a Penetration Tester at a Cybersecurity company.

I've been asked multiple times what made me go into Cybersecurity and when I try to think of it I get nothing but coming on Nairaland after a long time and stumbling on this post I made I can clearly that it was EvilSec that inspired my getting into Cybersecurity.

Reading this really made me happy. I wish you more success buddy.

Don't let anyone tell you that you need a degree to get a job as a dev. If you want a degree then get one, but don't feel like you have to. You need to sell your skills to employers, a degree is just one component. certifications, published research, etc; are all valid too.
Your degree is only important to Tech companies in Nigeria that pays 20-50k per month. I can't speak for how other countries see degrees, but they are definitely not always required to work as a dev in either the UK or US.

Then again, I'll freely it that sometimes, it is harder and requires more work to find a job without a degree, but it is not even close to impossible.

How much na Pi? I wan run Kali on top that thing,

From $35.

First, find people of your same level to hang around with, that can explain things in your own (experts explaining things over your head really sucks).

Second, get a Raspberry Pi. Start "sysing" the Raspberry Pi. Find fun projects. At some point, start playing around with networking on it. Explore all the fun command-line tools, like 'traceroute'. Use 'openwrt' as your home router and "net" that heck out of that. Now install web services on your RPi and play around with that, watching how your web server can serve raw HTML containing CSS and JavaScript. Create your own website. Now buy a domain name and push out to an AWS server. Make a LAMP app that serves stuff from an SQL database.

Now hack your server with SQL injection. Keep playing with bad server-side scripts until you get good at SQL injection.

Play with Chrome "Developer Tools" to explore how websites construct their web pages.

Now it's time for JavaScript. Spend some time learning abstract programming language theory with JavaScript as well as practical fun with it both inside the browser ("Developer Tools" again) and on the command-line ("NodeJS").

My best learning came not from mentors, but from people my own level. They, too, can suck, I still bitterly resent that 18 year explaining 'arrays' to me in a totally messed up manner when I was 14. But it's through talking about such things that we acquire knowledge.

Take a breath internet. Facebook cant track you across the entire internet for however long this outage is.
for a brief few hours, "do not track" is actually working xD

Heard FB employees are unable to enter buildings to begin to evaluate extent of outage because their badges weren’t working to access doors.

IMO this is the most sweetest thing I think I've ever heard. Facebooks door locks are IOT and rely on internet and dns - and because bgp routes took out all their dns, the door locks don't work anymore.
So if today isn't a really really good example of "hey if you don't ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO PUT IT ONLINE, maybe don't put it online". Not EVERYTHING has to be cloud-enabled. Not EVERYTHING has to phone home.

A bunch of Facebook networks has disappeared from the internet.

This is the facebook.com authoritative setup: 2 DNS have disappeared from the global internet routing table, the other 2 are otherwise unreachable.

Op is just a random delusional 15 year old kid that thinks DDOS == Hacking

The hacker returned the money because they asked him nicely.

You're a hacker and you've just stolen 600 million dollars. You know you can't keep it. What do you do with it to cause maximum havoc?

Option 1: Write a smart contract that allows withdrawing 1% of the current balance once daily from an address
Deposit 600M
Publish private key to address
Watch daily reorgs occur for months on end
Option 2: return the money.

CJust:
Everybody i'm about to start teaching "C programming language". Who is with me, am starting now. Just add this page to your bookmark and keep on refereshing this page.
But note you must have atleast a c compiler or idle installed on your pc for this tutorial for good practice.
»Thanks«

Mind me asking why you wanna learn C?

BarrSly:


Bro it hasn’t been easy oo stuff arrived yesterday and it’s been a battle.. Kali won’t even recognize it when I run the ‘lsusb’ line.

What do I do bro?

Switch to Vmware workstation. After installing and launching the Kali instance, navigate to VM, removable devices and select your adapter to the Kali VM.
Alternatively, you can plug it in after running the Kali instance. It should prompt you on whether you want to use the adapter on the host OS or Kali VM.

BarrSly:
I spoke with the seller.. said it doesn’t work but recommended Atheros Ar9271

A quick reminder that the seller probably isn't an hacker. I have one of those "with the same chipset as the description" laying around and it injects packets like a beast.
But go whatever you feel ok with.

BarrSly:


Chief, this should do the job right?

It will.
Do you mind me asking why you wanna learn netsec?

Bahat:


Back to my deleted question. Do any one of us here know how to go about the sim card porting locally here. Method or whatever you may call it. Well it’s just to know about how the attack take place and ways to circumvent the situation individually

I'm sure jackcanfield can further explain the entire thing in details

BarrSly:
Oh great!! Can you please avail me a link to make this purchase of the adapters?? Thank you very much..

BarrSly:
can anyone recommend an adapter that work for wireless penetration on kali Linux distro?

I use two Alfa AWUS036NH and another that uses the RT3070 chipset. They all packet injection and monitor mode

Hacking WhatsApp is a lie of the devil

It's actually possible. I can do it with malware or qrljacking. Just that I'm sure the people advertising on this thread they can for a fee are petty fraudsters.

Choosing:

Please can you teach me. How much does it cost. Iv sent you a pm

Unless you're dying to get scammed pretty bad, I'd suggest you don't dm anyone claiming they can teach you how to hack whatsapp.

Bahat:


I couldn’t believe when i saw my question deleted. Like who tf does that.

And i notice why is our info live unhashed on the wire!!! Really don’t know why. Is there a better reason for this?

what sort of info?

Someone needs to tell Seun that the anti-spam bot is being too aggressive.

Sometimes I think about quitting my job for no reason other than I'm curious if I could make it in another industry. Working in tech doesn't feel like being successful, it feels like the final stage of a stock market bubble where everyone is convinced they're Warren Buffet.
Would like to know if you guys can you survive if you stopped working in tech?

So let's explore why I think people are irrational about thinking we can vote from phones.
To make internet voting in Nigeria work, you first need to have a voter's card. This is ironic because this would mean you need to propose an internet voting that needs more of an ID requirement which voting laws shouldn't have.

A question that might pop up in everyone's mind is, "But EvilSec, this doesn't quite add up??"
Here, let me explain. Online banking works because banking tracks every transaction back to the . The principle of voting is that you cannot track votes back to the person who cast them. Voting is anonymous: you can track the fact people voted, but not who they voted for.

The most important attribute of a voting system is "trust". If it's computerized, anybody can make spurious accusations that the election has been hacked, and without non-computer records, there's no way to refute.

Well I think it's actually easy, something that a university student can do as a project. It'll require minor changes to the requirements we have with voting to match what's possible with cryptographic protocols.... But by "easy" I mean "in retrospect". It'll be a whole lot of infighting about exactly which requirements we are allowed to change, such as having a ID requirement.

P.s. I don't want to discourage serious work in this space, but if it's "simple":
1 Someone thought of it already;
2 It doesn't work in practice

You must be really smart to want to learn and be proficient in 7+ programming languages by just "taking zoom/whatsapp lessons".

Bahat:


So they now intercepting our private messages, well looking from National security aspect that’s good. They will be able to track infos and clear tracks, lol. Money goes around in the government. It’s a good idea to be part of the moving train.

They can't intercept jack sh!t man.
Normal phone calls and messages? Yes, they can intercept that.
Whatsapp calls and messages like they just claimed? Hell no.
Even WhatsApp can't decrypt the messages or sniff calls, only the ends can. That's what end-to-end means, nothing in the middle "like the government" can decrypt sh!t.

I know money goes around around in the govt and they loot alot, but 4+ billion for a non existent crap is just too much man.

I made this post weeks before the govt did this.
Anyone that read my post knows the govt just cashed out big again xD

Some rando said "wetin una dey hide"
Whenever someone says they have nothing to hide, I ask them what their bank details are. Suddenly, they too, have secrets.

tunaxy:
Programming is an of alluring profession, at least to me who seems to love creativity and real word practicality that comes with web development.

My interest in programming language, most especially Python is on a high, but to be honest, I'm afraid to start the process and commit to learning it.

After spending a lot of years in school, now I'm close to 30 years of age. So I don't know how long it might take to learn Python and Django. I'm sure it'll be a little bit challenging, but I love challenges myself.

So over to you, my guru developers in the house... is (30) not too old to start learning this technologies.

I'll take all advice, or critique.

In three more years you will be 33.
And when that time comes you will be saying one of two things:

“I've been coding for 3 years!”

Or
2. “I'm 33, is it too late to start programming?”
Don't be number 2.
Because the only thing that will have changed is how long you've been asking yourself the same question.

Also, quick advice.
- learn programming because you enjoy programming, deep thinking, problem-solving, etc… If you learn to program because you think there’s money in it (and there is) you’re unlikely to be successful or happy. Money in this field is a slow start, and that’s a snails pace if you don’t actually enjoy programming.

- If you generally have trouble sticking with things, programming may not be for you

Hotspotbro:
Can't we build our own cell towers?
If we use SDR transceivers and satellite dishes

Nope. Well unless you want a create a fake cell tower signal that acts as an IMSI-Catcher.
