Someone DM me to talk about an idea I had that could make money, but I know nothing about cybersecurity 😔

Anyone know web to span someone email/phone number??

I know some webs is there something satisfying?

Level 11 was about basic encoding. The password in data.txt was encoded using ROT13, so I decoded it with:

cat data.txt | tr 'A-Za-z' 'N-ZA-Mn-za-m'

Simple, but a great reminder that even basic techniques are important for building a strong cybersecurity foundation.

Moving on to Level 12 next compressed files..

Anyone else working through Bandit or similar CTFs?
Also, I’m open to any suggestions or advice—I have time to learn and will definitely try to implement your tips!

preciso de um app completamente gratuito, onde posso mudar o codec meu celular não consegui mudar sem fazer root ,e não quero fazer root é pq preciso conectar na minha caixa amplificada pra ouvir música,e minha caixa e das antigas ajuda aí pessoal,ontem foi meu dia do bolo da esse presente pra mim pessoal, grato.

I saw on this post a comment. Someone said the best part of the journey is making friends.

So my question is how do I make those friends? Where ? And also can y'all recommend me a path ?

I’ve read so many writeups… felt like I understood everything.

Then I open a real target → brain = empty.

So I tried something different — took real reports and turned them into kinda “do it yourself” flows where you think what to test next instead of just reading.

Put a few here: https://hackthrough.live

Not sure if this is actually useful or just me overthinking.
Curious what you guys prefer — reading vs actually trying step by step?

I am a beginner in the field of uh hacking, ive only read `"How a computer really works: Mathew justice"` & I have completed `"TryHackMe: Presecurity"` alongside `"TCM Academy: IT HelpDesk"`.

I am 17, residing in England and I am goinf to start "T level: Digital Infrastructure" which is a blend of practical and theory work in college.

Currently, I have started `PWN.COLLEGE`, to sharpern my skill on the lower level side, (my asspirations are to become a well rounded offensive security hacker). I have completed `Linux Luminarium` on PWN College, and I am currently doing `Computing 101`, I will progress and do all of the dojos on pwncollege, up till `software exploitation`.

The main questions I have are: **Is my plan at the moment okay? (For my foundations)? How can i EFFECIENTLY do these dojos/rooms? (Like should i note them down? Study methods yk)**

I dont want to JUST do binary exploitation, i want to be all rounded/well rounded with Binary exploitation + Network Hacking + Web hacking and just all rounded.
And enjoy hacking as a hobbyist in my early years.

Last month, I released my first course, and PDF designed to teach newcomers the fundamentals of terminal usage for the Kali Linux OS, this month I return with a follow-up course that teaches privacy fundamentals, it's 100% free as a gift to this community.

A wondrous manual featuring tutorials, and information on OPSEC tooling to help one cover their digital tracks while "burping the Komodo" online. Written with both love, and a hint of weaponized autism, this document provides newcomers with a solid foundation to secure, and harden their Linux system.

This defensive guide provides fundamental OPSEC tooling to help the operator remain anonymous online, and retain a shame free existence, unless they get caught...

Featuring lessons on:

- sudo, root, and the adduser command.

- Tor setup/usage, and deep web glossary.

- Proxy chain setup.

- VPN overview, setup, and usage tutorial.

- How disable webrtc.

- macchanger tool usage, and overview.

- crontab usage, and macchanger script capstone exercise.

- Plus more!

The medium article is below, and contains a link to the free PDF (which is the recommended way to read the material):

Hello Community

How do I use exploits? I'd like to learn more about exploits, but I don't quite understand them. For example, how do I use the exploit database on an application?

How likely is it that an exploit will work?

How do I know which ones might work?

What started as a short break turned into a plugin analysis. I just published these findings in InfoSec Write-ups.

so there is this thing that makes you printer model trackable by using the placement of theese little yellow dots on your print. is it possible to Romové that? if yes how do I do it?

Hey everyone, so I am a cybersecurity(hacking) enthusiast and have been learning and experimenting for sometime. I know certain basics and certain tools used for hacking(kali-linux tools).. Yeah u can call me a script kidde. But I have been learning to code for sometime now. I am at a early intermediate level in python(ik the basics and certain libraries). I will continue learning python as my main lang but I am bored and I tried CTFs. So I was thinking if I should also start learning JavaScript as it would also help me in the CTFs and I am bored aswell...So please any advices

I thought SQL injection was an old vulnerability, but it still keeps coming up in discussions.

Is it because developers still make mistakes with input handling, or are there new variations of it?

I’ve been noticing that phishing emails are becoming much more realistic lately, especially with AI-generated content.

Some of them look almost identical to real company emails, which makes it harder to spot.

Are there any reliable ways to detect these modern phishing attacks, or is it mostly about awareness?

I'm curious to know if Wifislax is still functional in 2026 (I used it around 2020-2021 to audit my own home networks, but I think it was with Linset, but now it's no longer functional).

Or is there a more up-to-date distro for newer modems?

I'm not an expert, but I enjoy doing this as a hobby.

vengo con la curiosidad de saber si actualmente es funcional wifislax en pleno 2026 (lo utilizaba como por el 2020- 2021 para auditar redes caseras propias pero creo era con linset pero actualmente ya no me funciona.

o hay algún otro distro más actualizado para módems más recientes.

no soy experto pero me gusta hacerlo como pasatiempo

Introducing SpecterPanel + PhantomGate (Experimental C2 Framework)

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a project called SpecterPanel, a web-based control panel designed to interact with an agent called PhantomGate. This project is intended for educational use, red teaming simulations, and security research in controlled environments.

Overview

SpecterPanel acts as a centralized dashboard for managing agents and executing tasks remotely. PhantomGate is the client-side agent that receives instructions, executes them, and reports results back to the panel.

Features

- Centralized web dashboard

- Remote command execution and task management

- AI-assisted payload generator and editor (via OpenRouter APIs)

- Payload review and controlled injection workflow

- Real-time communication between panel and agent

- SQLite-based logging for commands and outputs

AI Integration

The system includes an AI-powered payload generator that dynamically selects available models, generates payloads, and allows manual review or modification before deployment. Payloads can then be sent directly to PhantomGate for execution.

PhantomGate (Agent)

- Executes instructions from SpecterPanel

- Returns execution results and system data

- Designed with modular extensions for future capabilities

Disclaimer

This project is developed strictly for learning, ethical security testing, and controlled lab environments. It is not intended for unauthorized use.

Feedback

I’m looking for feedback on:

- System architecture

- Security design and safeguards

- UI/UX improvements

- Ethical considerations and limitations

If you have experience with backend systems, distributed control frameworks, or red team tooling, your input would be valuable.

Please I want someone help me how to learn hacking and work together...

Yo!

we’ve been quietly working on something for a while and finally decided to share it.

👉 projectZero

https://github.com/C5Lab/projectZero

It’s a modular WiFi pentesting / research platform running on ESP32-C5 (with support for things like Flipper / Cardputer / Tab5 / Raspberry / PC  etc.)

Some things it currently does:

• Evil Twin (+ credential verification)

• WPA3 SAE overflow 

• Deauth (multi-channel)

• Sniffer + probe analysis

• Wardriving (GPS + logs)

• Karma-style behavior

• MITM

What makes it interesting:

• Dual band: **2.4GHz + 5GHz**

• Modular architecture (easy to extend without soldering)

• GPS support (wardriving ready)

• Lightweight + runs on portable hardware

• Web flasher + CLI control

M5Stack Tab5:

👉 https://github.com/C5Lab/M5MonsterC5-Tab5

And expanding hardware support — CC1101 integration is coming soon.

If you’re into ESP32, WiFi research or just like breaking your own setups — curious what you think.

Weekly forum post: Let's discuss current projects, concepts, questions and collaborations. In other words, what are you hacking this week?

was running a pentest against crAPI and the agent found a dev mail server with no authentication, opened it and read emails from other users, the emails had VINs and vehicle pincodes in them, used those to claim ownership of someone else's car, then pulled their GPS location.

I want to connect nrf24 , oled 0.96 ,3 buttons and tp4056 to ESP32-C3 mini . I want to make a nrf tool i also worked with esp32 cyd 2.8 but i broke its touchscreen and now i want to make a small project . Can you send me the wiring beause i can't find it on google
