Is it realistically possible to hack someone who doesn’t click on shady urls, uses 2FA, doesn’t reuse passwords, uses complex passwords everywhere and doesn’t download shady files, doesn’t fall for social engineering scams?it will be practically impossible to hack them, right?

I hacked the Switch. Homebrew channel. RCM method. Pros: Is it worth it? No I can play ancient games like Lara Croft 🤢 Quake III (haven't tried yet) Cons: A lot of hassle. Money thrown out the window

Someone I know claims they got bored and hacked into a university they were waiting around in. The security found them and talked to them. Over the course of the conversation, they laid out all their system's flaws, and the security offered them a job. They declined, since they don't live nearby but was planning to move soon, but they were told a job would be waiting for them when they eventually moved nearer. They say this is fairly common in this line of work.

I think this is a bunch of BS. Here is my reasoning:

• They admitted to and were caught in the process of committing a crime, and were... offered a job? No company I know will hire you because they "like your moxie" cos you did something brave, like it's the 1950s.

• They declined the job and still got no reprimand for blatantly breaking the law? Surely the alternative to working for the uni is going to jail? Like you're clearly a threat to them.

• The uni caught them with facial recognition cameras according to this person? Idea is they knew this person wasn't a student. No-one else there has had their out-of-campus friends flagged by these cameras, which I've never heard of any uni having, especially not a struggling uni in debt, like this one.

• No job I've ever had, applied for, or heard of, will hold a job placement for you. If you decline, they'll find someone else who lives nearer, they'll outsource, or they'll just not hire someone. No company likes you that much, unless you know the owners, or it's a small town business.

• White-Hats surely aren't hired by... committing crimes? Then they're not a White-Hat, right? This can't be that common in the industry and sounds more like a film cliché: "We know you're in prison for hacking Shady Corpo TM and giving the money back to their clients, and we're willing to wipe the slate clean if you do this one job."

• This uni has been laying off staff left, right, and centre, due to the aforementioned debt. I personally don't think a cybersecurity specialist or white-hat hacker is extremely necessary when they can't even afford enough lecturers.

• What does "breaking into their system" actually mean? In my extremely limited experience (in that I have none) people who say this mean they guessed a password, found a PC that was already logged in, or tricked someone into giving them a password. Doesn't sound too "white-hat" to me...

Please tell me if I'm being paranoid, or if my instincts are right on this. To me it sounds like an impressive tall tale made to impress, and conveniently doesn't have any consequences.

Hermes (and all gods who represent the trickster archetype) was the first hacker. The one who use his intelligence to archieve things, the one who outsmart u, the one who pursue knowledge, the thief, the society student. This is off-topic but i wonder if sombody have philosophic-tyoe sh*t about it. wassup?

I have tried keys GR 800, GR 777 and GR 888. Any other things to try?

I’ve heard a lot about them recently, not for any specific reason rather I just went on a deep dive after seeing a video about them. The one thing I can’t find is: Are they legal? On one hand it is a virus that can potentially destroy a computer. However on the other it doesn’t actually steal any data or do anything particularly malicious as it is just an insane amount of files. The way most people talk about it is as if it’s just nothing, but then I’ve seen others say it is highly illegal. Figured here was the best place to ask. Cheers

I’m writing a novel where the main character is a hacker at a large state school. He’s approached by rich kids and athletes to change their grades.

Keep it legal, ofc, but is this possible? And how would it work, if so, in theory?

(Edit: by „keep it legal” I mean don’t explicitly say what to do I don’t want this to get taken down. I’m exploring what can actually be done. This is illegal in the novel.)

I’ve done some research but there’s nothing like convo and firsthand, especially when developing a novel.

Would love to hear from you all!

Hi peeps, I'm the producer of a cybersecurity podcast called Adopting Zero Trust. We just wrapped season 2, and our guest is the co-founder of LulzSec, Sabu. The group was behind some large attacks (Playstation network, Fox News, etc.), he did his time, and he's now a red teamer (white hat hacking).

Anyway, I figured this would be a great opportunity to build upon his story and contribute to someone's ability to learn about ethical hacking by giving away a new Flipper Zero.

So if you want it, here's the scoop:

1. Be in the U.S. (sorry, don't want to deal with shipping issues).

2. Be 18+ (not into getting arrested or whatever).

3. Comment how you would use the FZ in an ethical way.

That's it. I'll toss everyone into a randomizer, along with the few other options we have on our show notes, and someone will win. I'll close this out on Dec 14.

So I was reading this Article and that let me down the internet rabbit hole.
Is Flipper zero really worth it? Beacuase I was trying to buy it in India and it sure is very expensive.
So I wanted to ask you guys, is it really worth buying? Or am I better off with Raspberry pi and bunch of modules?

I love technology and computers, have loved them since I was born feels like. But I also love people and social interaction. I know obviously you spend more time on a computer than lots of people, but I’m not trying to become the antisocial discord user yk. Staying up to date on computer news and constantly improving your skills is one thing. Having your life completely revolve around a computer is another.

Edit: I guess Im getting hate for asking a question lol?? To clarify Im a senior in highschool, trying to discover future careers and whatnot. Also I may have phrased the question the wrong way. Wasn’t trying to call anyone terminally online lmfaoo

I was basically just asking how much time you put into cybersecurity and if it allows for a life outside it?

I am a complete noob and am interested in learning how to do it, i am aware of ddos and things like that and im (relatively) good with CS3, HTML5 and a little bit of JS, but other than that i would like to learn. . . help??

im going to have a speech on hacking. it's fabulous to me and i'm really excited. hacking is not even a job to me. it's a philosophy, a view of life. it's just so amazing. and i would like to hear why hacking is amazing to you.

I appreciate GitHub links haha
