@null-pointer
Sure is, thanks! -
Anyone know the font?
-
@sam0
Thanks!
Can't implement it though 😂. Don't have time to learn how to. -
@jobylie
Take a look at Dcoder as well. -
Reminds me of my Cybersecurity club slack channel, "network_traffic_anal" (network traffic analysis)
There is a character limit.
In a meeting this guy was reading the channel names and he read that one out loud and asked "what's that?". This girl just started bussing out laughing then it clicked for him and we all laughed. -

So chances are it would because you're splitting the writes to each drive in half. One of the main reasons (if not the main) an SSD will die is because too much data was written to the drive. Depending on the SSD, the type of technology used (MLC,TLC, can't remember the last one, SLC I think) can determine the life span (how much data written) it can withstand. Depending on the drive there are also programs made by the manufacturer that help monitor the drive.
There's S.M.A.R.T but that doesn't always work.
One of my SSDs is a Crucial MX300 (525GB SSD) and the program that is made by crucial gives deal good information on it.
A note, be a little mindful when installing programs. Some may have bugs that cause more writes than necessary. For example, a bit ago Spotify would write unnecessarily 50GB of data an hour or a day, not even downloading music or anything. You can monitor the applications you have installed. I believe process hacker is what I use. -
@itsdaniel0
Nope. Cleaned.
I did some research a bit ago and there was a apparently a manufacturing problem initially. -
@itsdaniel0
Thanks for the info!
And ahh yes, I forgot. My now laptop (Dell latitude 6430u) will blast the fans at full speed even when idle, Smh. -
@itsdaniel0
How are the fans when idle/your average use? -
@itsdaniel0
Yeah I've heard of a few issues for the 4k panel.
And lol yes! Love that about it too. -
@itsdaniel0
Ahh, gotcha lol.
But I'm going for the bigger battery and ssd with the FHD panel. I believe it's the $1600-1800 model. -
@itsdaniel0
Do you run Linux on it?
Everything about the 9560 I love.
Only downside are the QA issues and
@pajaja
Keyboard is important, but I've been told that the XPS has a nice one too. Though I'm aware Thinkpad are notorious for the keyboards. It's not a deal breaker.
@itsdaniel0
Yes they're both very upgradable. You can even exchange the battery for the XPS as well. Main difference being there's no buldge from the huge battery of the XPS. :)
With the Thinkpad on the other hand, you can probably get a similar experience at a cheaper price (save like $400+ with the sales now, plus a membership discount). Then again, the XPS and it's form factor is just ridiculously beautiful, even though the battery is a lot larger which I find crazy. Still has a beautiful 1080p display and I've heard the T470p is not so good. -
@sam9669
Right, so offensive security (people behind Kali) has several certifications.
I do not live in India, but if you check out packt they give out a free book everyday (PDF, epub, etc).
Also allitebooks.com has a lot of books (including CCNA) for free. Be careful though, I'm not sure if all of the books on allitebooks are 100% legit or safe. -
@sam9669
The OSCP is the offensive security certified professional. [0]
The CEH I won't go for, but that book is for one of my classes. The CCNA isn't on my list either (it was initially) but was for a class as well. All those books are for/from classes.
The oscp will on my own will though. I want to buy a car first before paying for the OSCP.

@dfox
Make it an option if you go with the idea, please! Thanks :) -
@ScribeOfGoD
How do you feel in the topics of reverse engineering, protocol analysis, or Linux Administration? -
@gumel
I can handle it ;) -
@bugHunter
I have not, I am going through the top two books now (for classes). I probably won't go for the CEH but rather the OSCP. I see more value in that one. But that'll be on my own time. -
@linuxxx
😂😂 That's funny. -
@linuxxx
Really? Lol
@sam9669
And I'd rather have the real ones! -

@NeatNerdPrime
Here are some differences/advantages explained here [0] :)
The main learning curve I can think of would mainly be installing Arch, though there are some scripts/iso you can run/install that'll make it easier for you. One installer is called the feliz installer [1]. Other than that, the package manager and the AUR (Arch User Repository) can be learned and understood quickly.
As far as migrating, I don't think it would be much of a problem, well for me it wasn't. I would say try it in a virtual machine and try migrating over.

@Artemix
To change the policy for having windows ask to download the updates and as well as install them instead of automatically doing it. -
@acerspyro
The education edition is the best edition. I wouldn't go for anything else. -
@Artemix
You can't follow this the easy way due to your edition [0], but you can probably find it in the registry and make a change there.

@yendenikhil
The purpose of the hash is supposed to represent the original data but not be reversible. If I send you a hash there is no way for you to look at that hash and do anything to reverse it to get the data it represents. That is, you can't derive the content it represents from the hash.
Also, Rainbowtables are a predefined set of data which are passwords and their respective hashes contained in a file that allows you to compare the hashes in the rainbowtable to the hash being "attacked". If there is a match then it spits out the password that matches that respective hashes.
Creating hashes of passwords and comparing it against a hash to find the matching data (passwords) is not reversing the hash it's simply computing a hash (in Rainbowtables the hashes are computed before hand) and comparing the hash to the hash you are trying to "crack" or "attack". -
@Artemix
May I ask what edition of Windows 10 you're using?
There's an easy way to require a request to even download the updates let alone install them though, the easy way is done with certain editions of Windows. -
@SpencerBeige
Check the review with 3 stars, the middle review. -
@ghost1227
Lol.
Yeah I agree!! I just don't want to do it now or when I have the interview and then not get the internship.
Maybe I can do it when I know I have the internship and fit it in my schedule while the two week notice is up. I can even try getting a week off for the Day&B job lol. (I only work Thursday-Sunday) -
@ujjwal96
Lol that's awesome!
