Hack the box academy : Linux Fundamentals 

thank you so much very well done i would be willing to donate a one time amount to help you out if there was a option for that. But the monthly sub, just is not for me. I think your missing out not having a simple tip button / send a one time custom payment on patreon if that's possible. just saying

@@ghost31313 I will try to find a way to do that! I know Patreon let's people donate but not sure how it works. I appreciate the suggestion and great feedback !

I keep getting permission denied when trying to login using ssh, can you assist? or anyone

@@dominicj you can hop in the discord and we can work on troubleshooting where your getting caught up

@@stuffy24 thanks i will join the discor 4 sure, but i was typing an underscore in uname instead of dash .....smh

Thank you man! Really appreciate it and think it's important to focus on learning the knowledge not memorize things at your fingertips

Thank you for the support!

Thank you!

Thank you! I will continue doing them!

I'm glad it helped!

Thank you!!

Thank you

Thank you!

Appreciate that!

Thank you so much! What other hack the box tutorial would you like to see?

@@stuffy24 I’m not too sure yet, from here I’m completing the rest of the information security foundation before moving on to the pen test cert. I’d happily watch anything you put out as you break it down so well!

They will be longer videos since there is more to cover but hopefully they will help people!

Thank you! I like that idea!

Awesome to hear

Thanks for the support!

Very happy to help!

Absolutely thank you,n

Agreed

Thank you! I plan on it!

Thank you!

Thank you for the support

Thank you for the support

because I must say, as a complete rookie, some stuff was very unclear for me

Appreciate it!

Appreciate the insight!

I've talked about that specifically in my videos. I know it's very intentional. That's what I don't agree with. They don't care a lit progressing the profession they care about profit.

Thank you! If you ever have any questions please feel free to hop on the discord

Thanks!

I'm trying to work with htb so I can!

Appreciate your support!

If it's tier 0 I can

@@stuffy24 I don't really know what is tier in this. I am new If you check it and try to make a video with an explanation it will mean a lot to me because I don't totally understand while reading if someone explains it to me it helps a lot. I have watched your other hack the box video I like it that's why I am asking for your help so if you can please try. Thank you 💖🙃.

@talhakhatib9514 I understand and appreciate it but hack the box bans people if they make a video on anything other than tier 0

@@stuffy24 okk bro check if it's possible then try.

Thank you!

I would somewhat agree with you to break them down into smaller sections basically but HTB is not for people who just started and its by design i would guess.

Hopefully they are updating these issues.

Most likely it's changed since this video was released

@@stuffy24 thank you for your response. I figure it out, i was just not logged in as the htb-student using SSH. Right after that i printed the index numbers and gave me a whole new set of digits. Thanks again and keep up the great content man.

That actually would make a lot of sense as to why you see that!

Completely agree. Feels a little frustrating to hit that question and when I search forums for help, there are things talking about netstat and ss that I haven't seen mentioned at all in the lessons. I don't mind solving a problem, but it's hard to wrap my head around why we're using something that I haven't seen yet or how I would have known to use that at all - if I hadn't looked it up.

@@Over_Xelis agreed this is why I don't use HTB as much as tryhackme for videos Because it feels like they are still working out kinks unfortunately!

Sudo gives admin privileges. su is switch user. They are different commands. They are asking what you need to use with su to run commands as a different user. So for instance su otheruser --command whoami would run the whoami command as otheruser and not you. Does that make sense?

@@stuffy24 Yeah. Thank you. I will follow this video. Not easy. :D

I would read through there how to access to fully understand but I would say do tryhackme until your more comfortable with it. It's much more friendly

@@stuffy24 🙏🏼 thank you, I’ll give it a try.

I did start the instance. I just used my personal machine to ssh to it

Hop in the discord and put under questions

I understand your frustrations, feel free to hop in the discord and let me know where you would like clarification. Also understand that most of these boxes do have the expectation of a certain level of knowledge.

@@stuffy24 Thank you so much for your time and reply/consideration. I appreciate you not having taken it the wrong way for i truly didnt have ill intent rather it be a constructive criticism. If i may; i feel that it wasnt justf what you were saying/teaching rather also, how. What do i mean, it seemed like you were stuck between a rock and a hard place and wasnt sure wether to cater to audience 1= noobs , audience 2 = advanced audience 3 = intermediate audience 4 = all the above. I feel if you were to maybe do tutorials more then once to cater to specifics or a more clear cut defined style for us to know who more specifically you are targetting. Though if in fact you have some extra time, i would love to get with you and share some more personalized feedback from 3rd party P.O.V.

@@Lao_Zi_369 I actually love this idea and am kinda kicking myself for not thinking about it myself! Doing the tutorials in 2 different fashions is a win win! I really am glad you said that! I absolutely would love to have you hop in and contribute because this is a great feedback that I think will help a lot!

@@stuffy24 i keep trying to reply but it might be auto flagging for ads or something. Get a hold of me somehow. i have an few reviews/feedback id love to share with you mate

@@Lao_Zi_369 just message me on discord if you have it

Hop into the discord and throw your questions in the questions channel

I'm very new in this field, sorry

Kali Linux should work. I just use parrot bc I like it better. If you hop in the discord we can probably trouble shoot it with screenshots

@@stuffy24 Hi I just got the same issue, I put ssh command with user@ip_addres and nothing happens, I'm on kali, openvpn works, and ping ip_addres works fine, any solution?

I tried with TPC and not with UPD (eu-academy-1) and it worked, thanks. Before I was with UPD (eu-academy-2) in case someone needs it.

@@sullivanmartin3149 hmmm, great great, it’s work also for me, thanks guy’s

be careful with the password set up, you'll be typing in but won't see it

Yes the discord use the #questions

It shows you on the dashboard. If not hop in the discord and show me what your seeing

The module gives you the information you need. Make sure to read especially down by where you launch it.

The VPN file is for your attack machine

@@stuffy24Oh yeah but the problem is that i cant acces it

@@mrgasmask7584 read HTB access instructions. You need to change permissions on the file probably

@@stuffy24thanks for the fast response ill look into it:)

There could be many reasons. Ensure your connected to VPN

Can you hop in the discord and give detailed question I can help. Not sure if your asking for help here or making a statement.

Grep -e searches using the extended regular expression. Basically if you use just grep and you have something like { in it that will not be part of the search unless you use the -e because it thinks your trying to interact not search

@@stuffy24 thanks bro, this has been really helpful

I would ensure the HTB machine is running and you are connected

I'll have to go back and check because they changed this one

@@stuffy24 thanks but I finally got it. Thats the only thing I don't like about HTB, they halfway explain things then change the answers on the exams by a few points when its an exact science. I blew thru the intro, networking, Security Incident Reporting and Linux. Now Im working on Stack based buffer overflows in Linux. Last question I'm stuck on is "Load AppArmor profiles managed internally by snapd" as the answer".thanks in advance

@@stuffy24 the answer is 00-mesa-defaults lol

Start with the ones you find interesting! Lol

Thank you for the support

Well hop in the discord and let us know what specifically your struggling with! We can always try to help

@@stuffy24 thanks for your help

It shows it in the HTB module

@@stuffy24 Found it, thanks.

Hey we all started there!!

@@stuffy24 thanks for support , i hope to improve fast though bc i love it. I was looking for putty, then figured out no putty. So i looked for terminal but couldn't find it, ur video helped a lot thanks :)

I can understand your frustration. I should have moved by camera but the point of this is not to have you copy the commands that wouldn't help you anyway. Can you tell me where your getting stuck?

@stuffy24 The whole thing. I feel so frustrated. I do not remember the commands, and the customer service is not helping me at all. Your video did at least help me get into it to start. I feel so stupid trying to learn this. 😭

@@anonymousslave6521 hop in the discord and we can work through it.

I def understand, with hack the box and tryhackme etc there is an assumed amount of knowledge. They are assuming these are people wanting to be hackers which means they expect atleast a basic fundamental skillset. I understand that's frustrating but I like your idea that if we don't have time to include an explanation I will give resources in the descriptions and things. I appreciate the suggestion!
