/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

I am learning a bit of metasploit, i am playing around with metasploitable 2, but i was thinking, would i also be able to find vulnerabilities to exploit in say, windows 7 vm or no?

just a reminder that no one should be normalizing pedo shotashit like faggot op

it's shorthand two arguments -l and -a together

I see, tought so.
Thanks user, here a candy.

Asking in the most recent thread:

My current system:
250Gb SSD with Windows 10
3Tb HDD with Windows 10 files (Games .exe, pictures, stuff like that).

Could I buy another SSD, install a Linux distro on that and make it a dual boot? How would I go about that? I don't think I would need to use the 3Tb HDD from Linux as I don't plan on using the Linux distro to game or anything.

some do. valve games let you set resolution with launch options. some games let you define it in the settings/config.ini but im not sure if they limit it to certain defined resolutions or go off your monitors predefined resolutions

yeah but im not sure if you need to have all of them plugged in while you install linux so you get the proper bootloader or not (havent messed around with linux in a very long time).
if you're just going to check out linux it might be easier to just do it in a VM, that way you dont have to mess around with fixing the bootloader if you remove the linux install later.

Hi guys, I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ and no matter what I do, when I receive a message, it is read out loud. How can I disable this function?

turn off text to speech assistant, dumbo

Why not? There are a lot of windows shells, vulnerabilities and so on in metasploit.

>Using WIndows 10

Baste, now we can control everything on your PC and if you try to change it we can "update" it and set it back so we can control it, again.

Thanks user.

I see, i just tought that since it isnt a VM with intentional security vulnerabilities it would be above my current ability to exploit them.

H-How?

Think about my Windows boot as a gayming console, and I am trying to get a Linux boot for actual computer stuff.

look in the fucking settings? should be under user assist/help/ ease of use

Exploiting things is piss easy - you scan system, you download tools that can hack discovered vulnerabilities, with them you gain control of system.
Those steps are piss-simple. Hard stuff is hacking some real-life topology, being able to stay in the system for long enough to gather critical data, evade EDR/IPS, avoiding sandboxes, using legit tools to spread your malware. Hacking any OS/VM is easy - hacking actual enterprise and getting valuable data is complex.

those are the read/write/execute permissions for root, user, guests on your files

Ah, i see.
Well, hacking into OS will be enough for my goals, i just need to make a video of me using metasploit for my assigment in UNI so its ok.
But searching about metasploit made me really interested on pentesting, it looks fun as fuck.
Can i get a job if i decide to specialize in pentesting?

How would I issue a command from a script to tell a document viewer, for example zathura, to open (you could say reload) a different file (from the one that is currently open) in the SAME window?

I installed Win7 on a seperate internal HDD. When I launch into Win7 and try to install programs, they keep installing onto my main drive (C). Some programs don't give me an option to choose where I install to so it keeps happening and disrupting my project.

How do I stop this behavior?

Is it possible to uncuck Windows cmd line or do I have to install some faggy third party software to do leet script kiddie SSH "hacking"
this fucking invisible passowrd shit is no bueno when the password is anything more complicated than "Password123"

I checked and it's not the issue. The TTS assistant is disabled.

check message app settings

unplug the other drive....

Anyone got a current link to TPB

piratebay-proxylist.se/

anyway for me to do this without having to open up my case everytime? This might be an idiotic question..

Okay, so my Trackman Marble trackball stopped working. I thought I had fixed it yesterday, but when I turned my PC on today it was dead again. I can't see any obvious reasons as to why it is failing, so I have ordered some new capacitors for it and will solder them on when they arrive.
The problem is, everything seems to work. I tried testing for continuity all over the board and I can't find a single point of failure. Even the cable seems to function properly, which was what I thought it might be. Does this mean it is just the caps? Or could it be something else? I've tried it on multiple PCs, both in the BIOS and in various operating systems and I don't get any life out of it.

yeah there's drive bays with switches you just flip

How do i verify file with gpg? I have .sig file, but i aperrantly need to add public key to gpg, and it also requires a keyserver. Is it even necesary, or it is just a meme? Only way it could be useful if someone jacked packets with file, and then they could jack signature the same way.

I have this HDD with windows installed. Can I move it to another HDD? Want to install linux on it, but I don’t want to lose the windows OS just in case.

yes. just clone it. however if the other drive ur moving it to is smaller you gonna have to shrink it first

you could also just make an image of the drive and store that on the other

Ok so i am having some fun playing with metasploit on a VM, but how would that even work on a real case?
How would a hacker get my IP in order to try to exploit security vulnerabilities?

>finally settle on build
>see second hand graphics card that changes everything
>make offer
>buy different cpu than planned
>gpu sale status updated, "sold"
I want to kill myself. I just want to own a good pc so I can scout out second hand shit every couple years and not spend $2000 in one day despairing over my ocd perfectionism juggling ten sites to compare with each other.

why did you get a different cpu without knowing for sure you'll get the gpu?
return the cpu and go with your original plan.

you're an idiot for buying the other shit before the second hand sale is complete.

Is it possible to emulate on virtual machines a network like one you would find in real life?
I wanted to emulate a network with servers, personal computers and firewalls.

Does ad nauseam still work?

there's network emulation software

>there's network emulation software
But can i work on it?
My objective is academic, i want to setup a network that is as close as possible from a real one, to practise pentesting.

not sure, i only worked on it for like 10 minutes like 12 years ago

Why is VMware preferred so much fawned over by everyone? What does it have that Oracle doesnt?

I'd suggest making a network with vm's if that's what you want to do.

It's not as shit
That's about it honestly

>I'd suggest making a network with vm's if that's what you want to do.
But thats the plan, i just wanted to know if its possible to emulate firewalls and IDSs

Is there a youtube archive/mirror, that would let me download removed videos?

If you can install it on a regular server or workstation you can install it into a vm.
Be aware that you'd need a Bitching Fast certified pc to be able to make a bigger network with more than a few clients.

Be the change you want to see user.

I used SVPtube to watch youtube videos in 1080p on mvp, since my laptop can't handle them on the website, but now SVPtube borked. Is there another alternative?

probably because the website delivers vp8/vp9 and you don't have a hardware decoder.
If you're using chrome there's an extension to force h264 videos.
chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/h264ify/aleakchihdccplidncghkekgioiakgal?hl=en

There should be a similar one for firefox.

Wait, firewalls are installed on computers?
I tought firewalls were their own devices, like windows servers

You could always download the video's with youtube-dl and then just add them to mpv.

there's both

Not sure how you'd attach a hardware firewall to a vmware network (there's probably a way that I simply don't know of) but I would add a firewall like pfsense.org/ on a vm and just add that to the virtual network.
Also yes, your regular computer has a firewall installed (and most likely your router as well if it's a modern one).

I was able to watch 1080p, but it used to lag really badly on the website. I installed the app and now it only lags a bit. I'll keep using it and see how it goes.
I try to stream as much as possible to avoid having to wait, since I don't have much free time.

>Wait, firewalls are installed on computers? I tought firewalls were their own devices, like windows servers
jesus christ my brain hurts...

a server is a fucking computer.
the firewall you're talking about is literally just fucking software you can install on any computer.
"their own devices" makes no fucking sense in this context

yo boys I fucked up tl;dr will a dell power brick work with an acer monitor?

Yes, but check the voltage/ampere.
Voltage must be the same, ampere can be higher than required, but not below.

Look at the numbers. Voltage should be the same. Current or Amperage on the brick should be at least as high or higher than the monitor, same for Power or Watt if that's mentioned instead of Current or Amperage.

gotcha, thanks, the monitor is a 19V/2.1A but it looks like this dell brick is 130W which sounds like more of a laptop power supply..RIP

New to linux here. How do you find the address of a file?

What do you mean address? You mean the file path?

I mean the physical hex address in memory.

It doesn't have one. It's in storage, not in RAM. But you can use the mmap() function to pretend it's in RAM.

Should I give in to the systemd?

I just want the play my games and watch some porn my dudes

Im cleaning my PC, but instead of installing Win10 again, should I dip into the Linux memes?

make sure your games can be run first

im looking into that right now

maybe I should wait a bit I guess, and try linux on other devices

Ok fellas,

So i logged into my server recently and found that I could not use apt or aptitude because of some HTTPS bs.is there a way to nuke these and re-install them? This is super frustrating and i would nuke the whole thing but there is like 2TB of data that i can't lose.

try it out in a VM to see if you're ok with the distro in general, then you can dive deeper

Is there a way to automate Windows tasks?
Let's say that I want Program1 to look for updates at 3am, Program2 to start downloading junk at 4am and Program3 to sync files at 4:30, is such a thing possible?

While I was doing a backup of some things in my current Win10 system, I put this exact video on, and started thinking about maybe using Linux

Might try it on a VM/flashdrive, but probably some Windows (7? 10 probably?) on my main battlestation

Getting a portable air conditioner for my apartment. I want to vent it out the sliding glass door to the balcony but the included window kit probably won't be large enough to fill the space (meant for a sliding window) any recommendations to fill in the gap? Should I just cut some plywood or something or is there something better? They sell kits for this but it's like $99 and fuck that

I'm trying to install a debian based distro called netrunner using calamares. I want to have my home folder encrypted but I'm kinda confused about how exactly I should set up the partitions.

Right now I have a FAT32 boot partition mounted at /boot/efi, an ext4 partition mounted at root. For the home partition, I set the filesystem to LUKS but calamares doesn't give me the option to set the password. It's only when I set the filesystem to ext4 that I get a checkbox which allows me to encypt it.

pic related, is this the right way to do it?
