ProgrammingRe: Ctfs(capture The Flag Challenges),vulnhub,tryhackme,overthewire.... by Hamzasaid(op):
started with Bandit already at level 6
link to get started ::: https://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/bandit0.html
The Bandit wargame is aimed at absolute beginners. It will teach the basics needed to be able to learn basic to advance Linux bash commands and play other wargames.
link

Bandit Level 6 → Level 7
Level Goal

The password for the next level is stored somewhere on the server and has all of the following properties:

owned by user bandit7
owned by group bandit6
33 bytes in size

Commands you may need to solve this level

ls, cd, cat, file, du, find, grep

personal work through:

This level required a much more complex find command. Given that the file could be anywhere on the system we have to start the find at the root level. From there we specify what owner(bandit7), group(bandit6), and size(1033kb) of file we are looking for. The only new addition to this level is that we need to discard any errors or we will never be able to sort through all of the junk that comes back.

It all started with my Facebook account being hacked some years ago(someone successfully did xss phishing on me) ''i was like how did they achieved it !!!?''
I got curious and started searching online on how to hack into someones account,what I saw baffled me different methods on how to gain access onto someone else acct.. there I came across some hacking tools (password cracking tools like like John the ripper,burb suite etc ..) I was like how can I get any of these, then I started a little research on it and then I realized I had to install it on a Linux OS called Kali Linux (never knew there was a hacking OS till that day)... Curiosity got over me I then went on to install the OS on my Laptop and played around with some tools but wasn't getting any of it as I don't understand how any of the tools worked......

After learning some ethical hacking course on Udemy and tryhackme with lots of pdf (such as blackhat python, the art of penetration testing,Ethical hacking for dummy's,Social engineering: the art of Human pentesting, Kali Linux :Beginning Ethical Hacking,NMAP Network Scanning. etc ....) with some labs like Metasploit, tryhackme and metasploitable Then what? just it just stop their?? after becoming certified in ethical hacking on Udemy, does it stop there?? No! No!
From my learning and experience on youtube videos, they don't teach the real deal,they only show you how to Metasploit and nothing more Asif though there's a restriction I don't know at all new techs,new way of doing and exploiting things,New CVE-Exploits,but you won't find any on YouTube apart from how to Metasploit and nothing more......
Best way I think one to keep his/her skill in the field a topnotch is by practicing different kind of Virtual box's on Vulnhub (a website that contains different varieties and leveled based(from medium to Hard) virtualized server you could hack into )..
lieu to this i plan to hack through 100 Vulnhub machines this year by God's grace and share my experience for each and every machines on this thread ....
Just of recent some companys (like PICO) are beginning to hold CTFs in Africa and I would join and win one
I also encourage others to also share their experience

EducationRe: Emotional Advice Needed!! by Hamzasaid(m): 10:13am On Jul 10, 2021
Greenkim:
I'm new on nairaland and I need advice urgently (heard from a friend that good advice are shared on this platform)
I am a 200L medical student.@1 i have a female friend who I got to know in year one and we did everything together, I even started staying over in her room for us to read. She was all one could need in a friend.
In our 200L first semester she started giving attitude but we reconciled. Now she decided to cut off from me saying she isn't someone who makes friends and she plans to be overly ambitious this semester and extra.
This has left me heartbroken and I feel like the world has come to an end because I'm so attached to her. I even asked her if I was the problem and she said no, rather she said the problem was from her and @2 she was comparing her self to our top Male course mates who had no friends.
Any serious advice on how to move on from here because I'm so depressed and have lost appetite for everything I loved doing.
Ps: I'm female.
I know that kind that of felling when some one starts to avoid u

@1 it happens when people get tired of your excessive presence and don't value ur availability to them.......
when dey realize that they are only the person that u cling to and have no other friends......they become subtile

@2 she doing that will only bring her down top male course mate that has no friends huh huh that's a big lie u can't make it their without help from some friends..(I once had that mentality in school but I realized it won't end well, u don't only go to school to study but to make connections that can help u in the future.....u never know wats tomorrow)....u can't know or understand it all in one way or the other u will need help in one or two courses MBBS for that matter.
My advice::: out perform the top male course grin grin it may be though though but with dilligence and consistency u will make it.....forget abt her, mark my words when u don't bother abt her ur friend will come on her own wink. Adios

OgogoroDegree:
Please I'm new to cyber Security
And I need a guide or roadmap for self study
Can you also help with PDF and links to download free tutorial videos
Thanks
My advice: before diving in to cyber security
learn some networking basics or better still take a course with Cisco or any other courses out there that teaches you about networking. Trust me it will do u good in the long run, you may think it's a waste of time and might not see the picture am trying to paint in here till u go in deep.
my 2bit advice �

first of all u need to have a knowledge on some programing language like python c,c++ javascript...
then learn Network programing with any of these languages

some videos:

As an ethical hacker you need to have good social engineering skillzzz. This book says it all on how to improve on that skills .

Social engineering:The art of human hacking by christopher hadnagy


OS:
Kali linux (most preferred, comes pre-installed with tools)
Parrot os
Ubuntu
Mint os
fedora.

this are just my few of my input.
and stand to be corrected though
but pros like Evilsec and the rest could add up to my 2cents
ComputersRe: Hacking And Cyber Security by Hamzasaid(m): 12:56am On May 03, 2021
Most of the people are often confused when they are asked – “WHAT IS CYBER SECURITY?” The most common reply is – “UM, HACKING. ” Well, hacking is part of cyber security but it doesn’t mean that hacking is the synonym of cyber security. Many courses out there only teach how to use the tool but the reasoning that goes behind its selection is not taught. Also, the main focus of these courses is on hacking but it is not the only domain in cyber security. Other major domains are Incident Response Management, Blue team, Security Audits, IT Security Management, Security laws and many more.

WHY SHOULD I LEARN CYBER SECURITY?

Let’s face it. We live in a digital world. Our work lives, personal lives, and finances have all begun gravitating toward the world of the internet, mobile computing, and electronic media. Unfortunately, this widespread phenomenon makes us more vulnerable than ever to malicious attacks, invasions of privacy, fraud, and other such frightening cases. This is why cyber security is such a vital part of a secure and well-ordered digital world. Cybersecurity keeps us safe from hackers, cyber criminals, and other agents of fraud.
