Is CCNA still a good place to start if I want to get into hacking today?

Hi! I'd like to start learning hacking, and I've heard that the best place to start is with networking. What's the best way to learn it? Is studying for the CCNA still worth it, or would it be a waste of time?

I built a CLI tool to sync your Notion pages locally & images actually work

Hey guys!

I've been using Notion for my writeups and notes for a while, and every time I tried to export or sync content programmatically, images were always broken. The official API gives you signed S3 URLs that expire in ~1 hour, so by the time your static site builds, half your images are dead.

So I built a small CLI tool that actually handles this properly, images get downloaded locally and the URLs get rewritten, so nothing breaks.

**What it does:**

- Pulls pages or entire databases as clean local markdown files

- Downloads images locally and rewrites the URLs (no more expiring links)

- Auto-detects your workspace and space ID

- Tracks sync state so it only re-pulls pages that actually changed

- Works with any stack - Astro, Hugo, Obsidian, whatever

**Setup is pretty simple:**

```

npm install -g notion-sync-cli

```

Add your Notion PAT to a `.env` file (Settings -> Personal access tokens, not integrations):

```

NOTION_TOKEN=ntn_xxxx

```

Then just run:

```

notion-sync init

```

It walks you through picking your database or pages interactively, no config file editing needed.

Package: `npm install -g notion-sync-cli`

Happy to answer any questions or take feedback.

How do I doxx people?

This title sounds horrible, but recently I’ve met a racist on tiktok who’s practically been harassing this black guy. i don‘t really plan on doing actual “doxxing” the most id like to do is see what he looks like and contact his workplace about what he’s saying online. Unfortunately, some of his following / followers are hidden and I don’t want to sift through 70+. It seems like it’s a throwaway account since he has no story or posts, and a solid 9 reposts. The most lead I’d like is to see his friends (I learned he had 2, but I can’t see them) then go from there.

I looked at my local laws and it’s fine to do as long as I’m not planning on harassing, stalking, ect.

Any tips for getting leads and / or what resources I can use? Sorry if I sound stupid, this would be my first time doing something like this.

My mom passed a couple years back and her Google accounts are still open. How would I access them?

For some context, she was a pretty basic woman who used things like previous pet names and birth dates for passwords. But she also had well over 10 emails due to lack of memory regarding her passwords.

I have one specific email I would like to access to download my childhood videos from her Google Drive. I did it a while back but I can’t seem to remember the password. And unfortunately, her verification methods are other emails or phone numbers I have no way to access.

Is there any way I could bypass the verification methods or simple methods to possibly figure out the passwords with information I already know? I’ve looked into contacting Google for access but I would need a death certificate which I do not have and don’t even know if we were given (to clarify I was a minor when she passed so my grandmother handled the forms).

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

Cybrary vs THM vs HTB vs Offensive Security

Hello I'm a beginner when it comes to web knowledge.

I come from a Malware Analysis background, but I have no idea (aside from Portswigger) how to start learning Web Application Security but in a pen testing side-view. What do you advice from those 4 (or others) and why?

And lastly if you have any http books to advice.

Thank you in advance!

My boyfriend knows my private phone stuff… how?

My boyfriend seems to know too many small private details about me that I usually only keep on my iPhone (mostly in my photo gallery or things I don’t share with anyone). I really don’t understand how this is possible.
I don’t have any obvious signs that my phone is hacked (no strange apps, no battery issues, no pop-ups, nothing like that).
The only strange thing he once said was: “be careful, you connected to my Wi-Fi.”
I’m not sure if he was joking or trying to imply something.
Is there any realistic way someone could access private information on an iPhone through Wi-Fi or by being on the same network?
Or are there more common explanations like account access, settings, or something I might be missing?

Stadia Controller BLE reconnection Issues

​So this is a well-known issue in the Stadia community.

Stadia was the cloud gaming platform made by Google. It worked perfectly and flawlessly until Google decided to shut it down for profitability reasons.

​The best way to play on Stadia was to pair the Stadia Controller with a dedicated Chromecast 4K. The controller was unique because it functioned as a Wi-Fi controller, sending inputs directly to the Stadia servers to achieve the lowest possible input latency.

​After the shutdown, Google released a web tool that allowed us to convert the controller into a Bluetooth controller to prevent a massive e-waste disaster worldwide. Without this update, the controllers would have been completely useless.

​A copy of the website can be found here:

https://github.com/ChristopherKlay/stadiacontroller

​Unfortunately, the Bluetooth firmware has a known issue. On many Android devices, the controller only works during the very first pairing, and never again after that. This problem is well-documented online and seems to point to a bug in how the LTK (Long-Term Key) is stored or handled during reconnection.

​Developers could easily resolve this, but the firmware is encrypted and we (the Stadia Community) haven't been able to crack or bypass this.

​Do you think someone in this community can help with this?

In learning game hacking what is the main language you should honestly learn

Such as a few people recommend me all sorts of language depending on the game but for top games with anti cheats they usually always say C or C++ so should I learn C or should I learn C++ in the end
