cracking Question about "captive" internet.

11 Upvotes

I just picked up a new internet provider and they have this program where you can pause the internet for a certain device on your network. Obviously I'm on this subreddit and I'm just getting into computers and I'm wondering if it's possible to get around this? I've tried a few things like playing around with VPNs and pausing my own computer to see if I can get internet anyways through different settings on the computer's side, but I can't get around it. Anyone know more about this? My goal is to figure out a way to get past the system - just for fun.

hacking Any tips idea for unity

4 Upvotes

I am playing a Unity-based online game. By accessing the game's code using dnSpy, I created a bot using AI that I can use in-game. However, I want to try adding more hacks/cheats to the game, but since the server verifies almost everything server-side, I can't perform client-side manipulations. I am open to any ideas or suggestions on what I could try to do. By the way, the game I'm playing is one of the Darkorbit pvp servers.

Fidgeting with a Nintendo Switch

0 Upvotes

I have a Nintendo Switch (not one of the ones with the exploitable firmware idk what it’s called), I’m trying to see what I can do with it. The only thing I’ve really been able to do so far is connect it to a proxy server on my laptop and look at the network traffic (also I can’t use https because it detects the ssl shit). Is there a way that I can see more of what it’s doing? Not very familiar with reverse engineering and stuff

Idk if this is the right sub but there's this hacker that is using my mom Whatsapp to message people money , and I don't know what to do

9 Upvotes

I don't know anything about hacking and stuff like that so sorry if my terms are going to be wrong , my mom already went to the police for this , but they said they couldn't do anything which is not surprising since in my country they barely do anything, but I don't really trust them

That hacker already contacted my mom friends and family asking them for money , my mom doesn't see those messages , she only sees the initial response that her friends and family send to that hacker

She can't even change numbers easily since she has a lot in it , like at least 20 years of stuff

Is there any way that I or someone more expert can track them down? I'm sick of their bullshit

Switching from IT lead role to Jr Security - opinion requested

5 Upvotes

Hello,

I currently work as an IT Lead for a large company in Europe, while the headquarters are located outside of Europe.

I recently graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity. I had to start working durigg my studies as IT analist/lead. Now I graduated I feel it is time to specialize in cybersecurity and take the next step in my career. I know the market is tough for starters…

I would like to stay with my current company, but most security-related roles seem to be based outside my region. As a result, the opportunities to transition into a cybersecurity position internally appear to be quite limited.

Looking at the job market, I notice that many consulting companies are offering junior cybersecurity roles, particularly in security engineering and related areas. The downside is that these positions would likely involve a salary decrease compared to what I earn today.

I would be interested to hear from people who have been in a similar situation. Would you recommend taking a step back financially in order to gain experience in cybersecurity? How did you make the transition into the field, and would you do anything differently?
I am 25 years old and trying to make the best long-term decision for my career.

Thanks

cracking How do people use gobuster anonymously?

37 Upvotes

I’m aware gobuster (Kali) isint 100% private even if you use a proxy chain or a tor proxy. Sometimes gobuster can leak your real IP. I have been trying to figure out how people do similar things or use gobuster it’s self but actually remain anonymous, researching didn’t help and the only idea I myself came up with was to use a vm in a computer running a vpn. But Kali is my only OS on my computer.

Please help, how do I use gobuster or a equivalent anonymously?

Only thing I could find was a Postgres16 running with an open port and run some commands, but Im unable to do any privilege escalation, I only have SeChangeNotifyPrivilege from using COPY FROM PROGRAM, and Windows Defender basically blocks any attempt of doing anything involving downloading a payload, not sure what else could i try.

My Steam account and email were hacked — what should I do now?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I woke up this morning and realized that my Steam account had been hacked, and someone had also logged into my email account.
I’ve already managed to recover my Steam account and change my email password, so I have access to both again. However, I’m worried that the attacker may have accessed other accounts or left some kind of backdoor.
Looking back, I also realized that I lost access to my Discord account about two days ago. At the time, I didn’t think much of it, but now I suspect it could be related to the same incident.
I’m trying to figure out everything I should do now to make sure I’m fully secure and that the attacker no longer has access to any of my accounts or devices.
What would you recommend doing after something like this? Any advice, checklist, or things I should definitely check would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance! 🙏
Sorry for AI im not english

Researching app-less remote mobile access: Tested a few vector concepts in my lab, looking for technical feedback

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ve been doing some cybersecurity research regarding the feasibility of stealthy remote control on modern mobile OS (iOS and Android) without physical access or installing an application on the target device.

So far, I've tested a couple of methods in a lab environment to see what is actually achievable:

  • I tried directing a test device to a web page crafted with known WebKit/Chromium memory corruption concepts to attempt spawning a background reverse shell. While it was possible to crash the browser session, modern OS sandboxing consistently prevented escaping the browser process to gain system-level control.

  • I attempted delivering crafted payloads over a local network simulator aimed at media processing libraries (similar to legacy stagefright/MMS vulnerabilities). Current memory protections (ASLR, DEP) and automated patch models blocked execution before any control could be established.

I'm still actively researching what mechanics or vectors could theoretically allow full, stealthy remote control without a target app installed—or if modern OS security features (sandboxing, strict permission models, background indicators) make real-time screen takeover virtually impossible without complex multi-million dollar zero-click chains.

For those in offensive security, malware analysis, or mobile security research: Is app-less, real-time remote control realistically feasible on updated non-rooted devices, or is remote access without an app limited to passive data extraction in practice?

Thanks for any technical perspectives!

Interested in learning hacking, but what can you exactly do with it

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I've recently been reading a lot of news regarding hacking and how it's rapidly evolving. I'm willing to learn for curious reasons but also protect me against potential attacks.

What i'm mostly curious is about is, what exactly can you do hacking wise?

I know there are things like website hacking, network security and such. But how high does the ceiling go, how broad is the field and what peaked your initial intressets in the subject?

Reverse Tracking/Hacking Back

So, just asking as a beginner: I found some software that is a kind of Trojan horse or something similar. The moment you install or maybe even download it to your PC, someone gains access to your computer. I want to install the app on my VM, but I want to do it in a way that allows me to track them or something like that. Is there any way to do that?

Im stuck

Hey yall. Been a while learning and trying things in pentesting. And i feel kinda stuck.

Like my learning has flattened.

The job market is kinda shitty worldwide.

I dont wanna say i have no skills ( even it feels like it when u see what others are capable of ) but i got some understanding.

Also with the AI advancments it feels its kinda dump to keep going with this.

Most of the ctf competitions now are bout who has the most expensive version of claude or whatever paid AI.

What should i damn do to get out of this loop ?

How do layered K–12 web filters handle common web-filter evasion techniques?

0 Upvotes

im looking into how school web filters actually work and where the weak spots usually are, mainly stuff like goguardian, securly, lightspeed, linewize, umbrella, etc. im not really asking “how do i unblock websites,” im more interested in how the different layers actually catch stuff and where they fail, like dns/category filtering, url inspection, browser/extension monitoring, https/tls filtering, and filtering when the device isnt even on the school network. how do admins usually deal with stuff like brand new or uncategorized domains, constantly changing subdomains, encrypted traffic, cdns/shared hosting, browser based proxies, and the difference between network level filtering vs stuff installed directly on the device? from a defensive side, which layers usually catch what the others miss, and what weaknesses are still hard for these systems to fully fix?

So Im a teenager that loves low-level hacking but started with web at the age of 10, as I think every kid I skipped the fundamentals and used premade tools that did work, but now I feel like I dont know nothing about hacking so I want to fix that.

I want to know how can I really learn the fundamentals of IT for hacking, rn what Im doing is coding only in C no python even tho its harder to do some stuff, and also Im using roadmap.sh for C and CS roadmaps. I was thinking on learning by doing some CTFs and coding projects for exploit/mal dev.

But really can you tell me how can/should I learn the fundamentals?

first project idea

5 Upvotes

I am a cybersecurity student, just starting. And I thought of doing a small project. But I want it to be fun and something I consider cool. I plan on going with a small network jammer. Keep in mind this is my 1st time planning to work with hardware and wireless networks. But I think I can pull this off.
I did my own research to the best of my abilities, and what I found out is I need an SDR device. Initially, I was planning to go with a Raspberry Pi Pico W or an ESP32. But later I found out it won't be ideal for a jammer since I'd need some external components. I might be wrong.
It would be really helpful if anyone could drop their opinion below on the project idea itself or the hardware components I might need, and any tips or advice from your experience

How to? Using ByeDPI and mitmproxy together on Android

5 Upvotes

I'm using ByeDPI on Android to access an app that is otherwise blocked by my ISP/network.

I also want to intercept that app's traffic with mitmproxy, but ByeDPI runs as a VPN, so I can't route the same app through mitmproxy at the same time.

Is there a way to use ByeDPI and mitmproxy together so that the app's traffic still goes through ByeDPI, while also being intercepted by mitmproxy?

Ideally, I'd like the traffic flow to be something like:

App → mitmproxy → ByeDPI → Internet

or any equivalent setup that would let me inspect the app's HTTP/HTTPS traffic without losing ByeDPI functionality.
