today i felt like a real hacker for the first time. I had a windows machine as my target.
- i saw an nfs service on my target, so i looked for directories i can mount
- i found one and mounted it, it was like a ticketing backend with a bunch of tickets in txt files, so i analyzed them and found a pw reset request with username and password in it
- i was able to connect to the rpc service on the system and then i could pivot to another user
- with that user i was able to do privilege escalation and pwn the machine
What an experience!
Please share :) i am so proud!

@LaF0rge this makes me so unbelievably mad.. Does the person know they are risking the whole company with this????

@idzie Nessie confirmed :o

@Natasha_Jay thats the problem, on the charts, it does add value. However, this is not new. In a time where managers manager managers, you have to admit that we lost control and we try to get it back by bruteforcing with employee numbers. How many people in a company do actual physical work, engineering or development. Oh and no blame at those office people, the companies need you.

Dear Fedi friends, may I ask you a favor?

I would really appreciate it if you could boost this message. I have created a French version of my Fedi promo video - and a French landing page – that I hope can spread far and wide in the Francophone world:

@dianea sorry but i have to ask.. On the left there.. Is this really a meat bar called FATTY?

@zachleat afaik, thats still very common in germany. If i remember correctly, i had the possability to register me for the elections last year via fax

I recently explained fax machines to my 7 y/o and looking back — what an incredibly wild concept:

public printers on the end of a *public* phone number that anyone could send anything to — any everyone just went along with it?

@andrej kann man die Seite nicht ohne tracking cookies öffnen?

I was just thinking about flatearthers..
Did they just disappear because we educated them? If thats so, we should proceed with fascists ASAP
#antifascism

we fucking did it!!!!! 🥳 :blobpartycat:

here's two great reasons to keep signing though:
1. in case some signatures get invalidated, it's good to be a safe amount above the threshold!
2. the more countries that hit the individual threshold, the harder it will be for politicians to oppose this! looking at you specifically, Sweden and Italy - you're so close!

sign sign sign sign sign!!

Liebes Fediverse,
heute habe ich mein kaputtes Fahrrad ein wenug gereinigt. Nun muss ich mir überlegen,
wie ich es wieder dazu kann bewegen,
auf Schotterpisten in Berg und Tal,
sich zu bewegen, wie beim ersten mal.
Die Gabel ist bockig, lässt keine Einstellungen mehr zu,
auch die Reifen sind platt, aber die sind gewechselt im Nu.
Nun bitte sende mir Rat,
sodass ich kann schreiten schnellstmöglich zur Tat :)

@wurzelmann es ist ein unüberwindbarer Teufelskreis. Ich bin überzeugt davon, dass wenn man Thanos mässig von heute auf morgen die Welt auf ÖV umstellen könnte, wären alle glücklich. Der Wandel jedoch von einer Autokultur auf eine ÖV Kultur scheint mir unmöglich.. die ganzen Städte sind ja auf Autos ausgelegt und da fliesst auch das meiste Geld (nur eine Einschätzung, weiss es nicht definitiv). Dennoch träume ich von einer ÖVWelt.. Ich bin überzeugt davon, dass die Züge weniger voll wären, wenn alle die öV benutzen würden.
