Hey. Back in high-school like 15 years ago I would play around with Backtrack. I started building apps, now im interested in the cyber security side of things and penitration testing. What tools are out there now and where do I learn how to use them. Are there any discords or close communities who would be willing to take me under there wing?
I use multiple Proton and Gmail accounts across different websites (I’m not saying the email accounts themselves were hacked).
Recently, I noticed unauthorized logins on several services: LinkedIn (Gmail), Instagram (Proton Mail), Twitter/X (Proton Mail), and most recently Reddit (Gmail).
Some of these services detected the logins and sent me security emails, but in other cases I didn’t receive any notification about a new login or session.
What makes this especially concerning is Reddit, since I use Google Sign-In and have 2FA enabled, so it shouldn’t be possible to access the account with just a leaked password.
What could be causing this? This seems like more than just a password leak, especially since multiple unrelated accounts using different email providers are being affected.
Could this be caused by a malicious Opera browser extension, stolen session cookies, malware, or even a keylogger on Windows?
How can I systematically detect which of these possibilities is responsible?
SOLVED
I have been trying to make a mod loader for a game called "Days of empire". All i know from the month or so of me trying is that it is mostly compiled lua, i tried using luadec but it failed (tried diffrent lua versions too) (something about bad precompile chuck) but decompile.com/lua decompiled fine (this game has at lease 1k diffrent lua programs, uploading one by one will take eons)
Got genuinely no clue how to hack but I don’t trust anyone else to do it been locked out of it for about a year now and need it back
I know my school erp has many flaws.
Can someone tell me
I saw a video on YouTube about hacking any wifi password by forcing a device that is already connected to the wifi to disconnect and then capture the handshake, but it's for linux and i'm curious if something like this is doable on an android phone.
hi!! sorry, i dont know where else to put this...
someone called me, it was a person laughing and trolling at first but then they knew my full name and my boyfriend's full name (me and my partner are private and dont post about our relationship and dont have a lot of friends except a close one or two) and then started disclosing personal information.
ive been receiving death threats and r*pe threats from a different number, so the call shook me up and ive been nervous since.
im sorry if this isnt the right sub, but please help me!
Hi everyone. Before I start, I just want to say I am massively impressed with the amount of knowledge and information that's been shared on this sub. Some of you guys are crazy clever.
Anyway, I'm in a bit of a situation where some of my academia is being challenged. I have proof from when I was at university that my findings are primary research and haven't been plagiarised, but I'll save you the long story.
These documents are stored in an encrypted zip file. Back before Dropbox and OneDrive, I would zip and encrypt my documents using WinZip and leave them on my university network drive, or span them across multiple floppy drives to take the work home.
Now, I can't for the life of me remember the password (I only started to standardise my passwords later on in life).
Here is where I am at:
However, it can't seem to find the password for my actual zip file.
Is there an alternative or something else I can try to figure out the password?
For hardware, I have:
• An Intel-based machine with an NVIDIA 4070
• A MacBook Air with an M3 chip
Any support or guidance would be very much appreciated.
I need to get my telegram account back but the thing is the telegram account is used by my dad and he wont tell me anything or help me login. He is keeping it to himself. And the catch is i dont have the phone number of the account ( i dont have a sim or esim ) and the other stuff because he changed it all
An account on X doxxed me and posted photos of myself on the app. Any way to get info on the account that posted it?
is it possible to crack or bypass a BIOS password without touching its hardware?
So I have bought a new laptop and the old one is working well but the problem is it is a 10 year old laptop. And has windows 10, right now it's new ssd is damaged and will be replaced. So rather than installing windows 10, I am thinking of installing kali.
Please can anyone tell me how to do it and what things I should be careful of.
A few months ago, someone contacted me about collaborating on remote work. I was initially hesitant, but after a few weeks of hearing about the low wages he faced in his country, I began to empathize with him. So, I decided to give him permission. The first thing he did was create a LinkedIn account for me. Then, he needed a laptop (which I didn't have), so he paid for it and my trip to pick it up in another city (about $200 USD). I was happy because I was going to help him, and he was going to help me in return.
In these two months I needed money. I'm from Argentina, and the economic and employment situation is very bad. In these two months, I asked him for money about three times. He gave me about 10 dollars, and I was happy but also felt guilty because he hadn't received a high payment until then.
I had already looked into what this was about—it's laptop farming—but I thought I just wanted to make more money than I needed. But today, after investigating a bit more, I understood the seriousness of the situation.
He contacted two companies, and I don't want anything bad to happen to him or anyone else. I don't want to be part of this corrosive world. I feel awful for having acted as an intermediary and for trusting him so much, thinking he was just an ordinary person. I'm an idiot, and I want to undo all of this.
I have the contact information for both companies he was involved with to warn them.
I need someone to help me fix this; I feel like I'm a terrible person
(Sorry if my English is bad)
i learned c from neso academy cause im trying to get into cybersecurity but honestly i still dont really get how systems actually work under the hood or how bypass security and understand vulns so if anyone knows any good resources to learn c from an offensive security and hacking perspective lmk please
Hey I’m getting blackmailed on telegram and need to find the person IP address. I have called the police and they wasn’t very helpful, but I did ask if it would be illegal for me to track the person IP address and he said it would be legal for me to do. I know the person live in my country and it is a small country, so the IP address would help the police identify the person.
I have looked at Grabify IP logger, but I can’t customize the link enough, to get them to look like something he would press on. I have found away to do so I can get the link to say what I want to in telegram, but if you click on it, it will say show the real link name and it will also ask if you agree to be redirected. I simply don’t know what to do. Can anyone help please. 🙏🏼
I see little handheld tools and programs people claim they work but with my limited knowledge i assume most are not reliable.
What could someone use while traveling to crack into nearby wifis with non default passwords? Im willing to do some learning too if you would point me to a start.
I want to help my mom figure out some things my stepdad does when he says he's going to work, and I thought it would be feasible to collect data remotely without tracking. I found a simple Python code and I don't really know how to run it, so far I've only worked with C## and a bit of JavaScript
if you're using a Yoga 720 as a headless server, you've probably dealt with the BIOS hanging on reboot if the lid has been shut for a while.
I poked around the forums and and eventually landed on the Embedded Controller memory as the problem and found the lid status register at offset 0xB8.
0x02 = Closed (reboot hangs after ~15 mins)
0x00 = Open (reboot works)
The EC on this model is event-driven and doesn't seem to re-poll the physical hall sensor unless the lid actually moves or you pass a magnet over it, how i found this out. If you manually flip the register to 00, it stays there. Since EC memory persists through a warm reset, the BIOS thinks the lid is open and allows the POST.
To fix it:
Load ec_sys with write support:
sudo modprobe ec_sys write_support=1
Set the register to open:
printf '\x00' | sudo dd of=/sys/kernel/debug/ec/ec0/io bs=1 seek=$((0xB8)) count=1 conv=notrunc
I just have this run once on boot. As long as the lid stays shut, the value holds, and remote reboots work every time.
Quiero aprender todo lo que conlleva el malware, ya aprendí lo básico y lo medio, pero quiero volverme experto en esta rama para evitar las estafas (caí en una) y tratar de ayudar u generar dinero minino de esto espero me puedan ayudar
Long story short, some guy didn’t like what I said to them in an Instagram comment on a public post. My account is private and only shows my first name. My profile pic isn’t posted anywhere else.
They proceeded to pull up old posts I was tagged in and begin commenting there, but I guess they could’ve found that on google. Then they started tagging family members of mine that I don’t even follow and said I don’t know about “back door”. They said they could see my DMs.
Safe to say I’m a little freaked out, but I want to know how he got my info like that and what I should be doing to protect my info online moving forward.
Thanks!
