HTB Season ended and Fall update!

Posted on 2024-11-24

HTB season ended and team was top 100 world wide!!!

And fall 2024 update!

Hola! Happy Hacking to all hackers, DIY, Creators and tinkers out there.

- Yes our team got into the top teams, most, I personally got to the top of the

holo label, finishing all boxes, we did all boxes in a matter of hours or a 1-2

days for the insane ones, very good considering this used to take me weeks, but

yes I have to admit this insame boxes were easier because they had non-intended

ways that later on got patched after I did them.

- Usenet, love it, we have rss feeds working with the rust bot I created, with

hacking news, the latest HTB forums posts on each individual box release and

peoples comments this way avoid browsers all together, only needed to reply to

post a thing I rarely do since there is so much spam in my inbox of kids asking

for help, is sad, some people wants to make it into hacking and have not master

systems,networking,programming and such and you can tell by the type of questions.

whos fault? all this "make money fast" academies promissing kids to learn hacking

with out the most basic background skills. ohh well..

- Our Spanish hacker culture show, Hackernol will be back this winter!!! yes

is about time we do 4-8 new shows there is a lot to talk regarding hacker culture

happenings, politics, discussions, news and criticism.

- I am very happy, after 1O years fighting to be full citizen in Spain/Europe

I finally got everything in order, with my ID/Passport!!! took a lot of work,

hard times and desesperation, but as any hacker when we get our head in something

we do it, I really was very sad to have lost my rights when I left to the US

to only find out when I tried to come back to Europe, but is done.

- Academy, now that I can work in Europe and such I had thoughts of starting

to mentor people/kids to learn hacking/hacking culture/skills and such, the

reasoning of this is because I been doing this since I can remember and every year

with this new generations I get more fustrated, so was like if I charged im sure

they will actually do the work and learn, I will still do it as always is just

part of the hacker ethos, but charging for 1 hour a week even if later I spend

2O hours is something I do not mind as long they put the work. MORE ON THIS SOON!

- Now that I can work in Europe I need to update my CV/Resume I have not done this

in 14 years or so LOL, but i am tired of freelancing, do not mind when is for

pentesting, but not like when I get devsecops gigs etc I want something stable

so I can start to travel again. CCC/HOPE here I come. ;

- I updated Mastodon to the latest stable version and branch! yes! finally

- We migrated from Dendrite to Conduit a rust matrix server that is working

very fast, and I like that the db is rockdb.

- And this is it for now... check usenet for latest conversations

Happy Hacking o/

That's it for now!
