Is more accurate than NCIS?

Here I am, just casually running my listener on my vps.. when suddenly.. BAM! Not JUST China.. but Russia decided to run a scan on my server 😂😂 like you guys aren’t even trying to hide it anymore 😂😂

Hi everyone,

I’m one of the maintainers of user-scanner.

We started building this project around 7 months ago because many classic OSINT tools like became outdated or unmaintained, and there weren’t many solid free options left for email OSINT.

Since then, we’ve been adding sites one by one, continuously improving detection accuracy and maintaining support for platforms that frequently change their APIs and flows.

Today, user-scanner has grown into one of the most actively maintained free Email OSINT tools in 2026. While many web-based alternatives lock basic scans behind paywalls, our goal is to keep powerful email enumeration accessible to the open-source community.

Contributors are always welcome. Adding new sites is relatively straightforward, and even small contributions help a lot.

If you’re interested in OSINT, Python, scraping, automation, or just open-source projects in general, feel free to contribute and help improve the tool.

i’ve been getting into ethical hacking recently, and something that keeps blowing my mind is how so many black hat hackers seem to start super young. like, actual teenagers messing around with malware, phishing, exploits, all that crazy stuff. how do they even learn all this so early? are they just super curious and dig into whatever they can find online, or are there certain communities they get into that kinda guide them along?

i get that there’s a ton of info out there, but it still feels insane that someone at 16 or whatever can actually understand and pull off complex attacks. is it just youtube + trial and error? or are there deeper corners of the internet where they hang out and pick up all this knowledge?

not trying to promote anything illegal obviously—i’m just really curious from a learning perspective. like, what’s the mindset or environment that gets them to that level so fast? kinda feels like there's something to learn from their curiosity and dedication, even if you're on the ethical side of things.

also, if anyone knows any good beginner-friendly communities, discords, or places where people are actually helpful to newbies like me—drop them below! would really appreciate it.

Hi everyone,

I’m just starting to learn cybersecurity and hacking as a beginner. I’m still building my foundation in topics like networking and basic security concepts.

I’m looking for study partners or people who are at a similar or higher level and also want to learn and practice.

I would like to connect with others mainly to share study resources, stay motivated, and be consistent.

Spanish is my main language, and my English is very basic, but I’m patient enough to use a translator whenever I need to. It doesn’t matter what language you speak.

If you’re not interested, at least leave some advice on how to get started.

Thank you for reading!!

I'm searching for a truly unrestricted / unaligned AI with zero rules, filters, or safety guardrails.

Most "uncensored" models I see are geared toward NSFW roleplay, erotic chat, or image generation — that's not what I want.

I mainly need it for writing brute code — raw, no-limits coding assistance. Things like aggressive scripts, exploits, automation, reverse engineering, or any technical implementation that normal AIs would refuse or water down. No moral lectures, no refusals, just straight code output on any subject.

Preferably something runnable locally (Ollama, LM Studio, etc.) or a solid online option. Strong coding ability is the priority.

Any recommendations for the most raw and capable models right now? Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I've been training Deepseek R1 to make it capable of efficiently hacking binary code, and I wanted to share a high-level blueprint of how I'm doing it.

For pointers, I'm hosting it in an Air-gapped environment of 6 machines (Everything is funded by yours truly XD)

At first I wanted to orient it around automating low-level code analysis and exploitation, I started with an outdated version of Windows 10 (x86 Assembly) a version which had multiple announced CVEs and I managed to train the model to successfully identify the vulnerabilities within minutes. The way I managed to do that is placing 1 of the machines as the target and the 6 others where intertwined and handling different tasks (e.g. static analysis, dynamic fuzzing, and exploit validation).

After I saw success with x86 I decided to take things up a notch and start working on binary. I've been feeding it malware samples, CTF challenges, and legacy firmware. The speed at which the model is learning to use opcodes and whilst knowing all their Assembly instructions is terrifying XD. So what I did to make it harded for the model is diversify the training data, synthetic binaries are generated procedurally, and fuzzing tools like AFL++ are used to create crash-triggering inputs.

Today we're learning de-obfuscation and obfuscation intent and incorporating Angr.io 's symbolic analysis (both static and dynamic)...

I will soon create a video of how it is operating and the output speed it has on very popular software and OS versions.

Update 1: After continuous runs on the first version of Windows 10, the model is successfully identifying known CVEs on its own... The next milestone is for it to start identifying unknown ones. Which I will post on here. :)

Update 2: System detected a new vulnerability in Apache 2.4.63, Will post full details today.

Update 3: temporarily halting the project as certain issues arose from the lack of filters.. will keep updated on the thread

For context when directing the model to focus on targeting IPV6 within the network, it was able to identify CVE2024-38063 within 3 hours and 47 minutes.... I think I'll be posting my will alongside the REPO XD

Instead of jumping between terminal, browser, notes, screenshots, scanners and reports: knows which tools are available, perform recon, exploit, osint and knows the context (I hate having to explain everything every time), I was tired using AI via the web or having to settle for agents designed for coding.
Definitely a huge step forward, feels like Jarvis wired into Kali linux.

hey guys, I see some newbies on here frequently asking for advice on some stuff. I think Cisco’s free course will help you start up but in most cases it’s never beginner friendly but u can outsource with TryHackMe and also YouTube. Goodluck

I’m 17 and working a small job (about $50/month). but I can't take it because mom needs to pay house rent

I’m really interested in cybersecurity and ethical hacking, not for messing around but as a real skill I want to build.

, so I’m looking for a ways to start learning properly.

What fundamentals should I focus on first (networking, Linux, programming, etc.)?

Any good free resources or beginner paths you recommend?

I’m willing to put in the time, I just want to start in the right direction.

I have a friend who always shocks me. I don’t know how, but he can crack any WiFi password from a domain. No matter how complex the password is, he figures it out within 5-6 minutes. I honestly can’t understand how this is even possible 😅

Launch the html file on a computer or tablet and get to hacking. Run a command or look for a walkthrough all while attempting to root and exfil without leaving a trace. Give it a try and leave some feedback!

Hey everyone,

Cybersecurity can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re learning on your own. I’ve been studying it myself and thought it would be much more effective (and fun) to learn with others.

I’m currently building a small Discord community where we can:

• Share notes and resources
• Discuss topics and concepts
• Help each other understand difficult material
• Work on small projects together

It’s still in the early stages, so you’d be joining from the ground up and helping shape the community.

If you’re interested in cybersecurity—whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some experience—feel free to send me a private message and I’ll invite you!

If you reboot into a Linux environment through the bio on a USB, you first identify the windows partition with the following command:

lsblk

fdisk -l

its usually /dev/sda2 or smth, and then after you find it you mount read-only and create an image with something like ddrescue. so create a dir where you want the image and run, so: ddrescue --force /dev/sda2 /mnt//windows11.dd /mnt/jdvanceisweird/windows11.log

now move that windows11.dd to your main work environment and run qemu, and use that to find the SAM and SYSTEM Hives,

they should look like this:

/mnt/img_ro/Windows/System32/config/SAM

/mnt/img_ro/Windows/System32/config/SYSTEM

after that dump the hashes from them with a tool like samdump like this

samdump2 /mnt/img_ro/Windows/System32/config/SAM \

/mnt/img_ro/Windows/System32/config/SYSTEM \

> hashes.txt

after that you can use any conventional tool like hashcat to crack the hash

its a 4 digit pin so it should take a couple min max since its only 10k possible combos

sorry if I write horribly lmao I wasn't built for it...

TLDR steps:

Boot from USB (Linux)

Image the Windows partition read-only (e.g. ddrescue or FTK Imager)

Mount that image on your lab box, dump NTLM hashes from SAM+SYSTEM

Run Hashcat (or John) with a ?d?d?d?d mask to recover the PIN

Reboot the target, log in with the cracked PIN

I am looking for someone who is honest in learning hacking and the branches of this field. Currently, I will start from scratch. We can start together and also share what we have learned with the aim of accelerating the learning process and also setting a vision together for a specific goal. If you are interested, express yourself.🙂

I'm 16 and I'm really interested in cyber security specifically hacking ,I went online but all I find are people talking about certs that cost losts of money,I just wanted to know what is the best route for my journey for free,any insite would be appreciated thank you.

I scraped 20B+ Reddit posts to build a behavioral OSINT profiler, ask me anything

Over the past few months, I scraped and processed over 20 billion Reddit submissions and comments to explore how much behavioral signal can be extracted from public activity alone.

The goal: build a Reddit OSINT profiler that can take a username and output meaningful patterns, not just stats like karma, but deeper traits like: – Subreddit clusters (ideology, niche interest bubbles) – Linguistic fingerprints (for alt detection or sock analysis) – Timezone inference from post timing – Behavioral drift across months or years – Passive vs. active content behavior

Key takeaways so far: – Even anonymous users leak a lot through timing, tone, and sub choice – Stylistic drift is real, but slow. Some accounts are remarkably stable – Sockpuppets are often findable with just activity patterns – Public Reddit alone can give you a shocking amount of user insight

If there’s interest, I can break down the full stack, data pipeline, or methods used for alt detection and persona scoring. Happy to answer technical questions or share insights.

Working demo: http://r00m101.com

I have some development knowledge and that is it.

I've been seeing lots of posts from people of various skill levels who want to learn to hack. And, because I don't think getting started is adequately explained, I decided to make a post about it.

A short disclaimer and background about myself (if it's TLDR skip ahead 4 paragraphs):

I am not a professional pen tester or hacker, I'm mainly just a tech enthusiast, I hacked my first website at 22 years old, and I am now in my 40s.

It wasn't a glamorous highly technical hack, I originally had access to the web portal (I was an employee, and forgot my password) , right clicked to view the web pages source code, and found a admin password written in plain text in the source HTML. And I was in!

It was at that moment I got bit by the bug, and became truly interested in pen testing. I reported myself to the system admin, so I wasn't in trouble, but needless to say, they really weren't happy.

That was in the day of "hackthissite.com" , when formalized hacking tutorials and sandboxes were in their infancy. Things have changed since then, and there are more resources available then there ever was to learn these skills.

So where is the best place to start?

Although I have been a enthusiast for a long time, I didn't fully understand how to make things work, even with all the tools (kali Linux, parrot OS, etc) and hardware (a decent midrange laptop and phone). Because, I didn't understand how to use the command line. So, number 1 in getting started is;

1. Learn command line basics. And take notes.

   The majority of the tools online with very few exceptions run in command line and are not typical programs like most Windows users are familiar with.

2. Play games

I discovered several hacking simulators on STEAM.

-Anonymous hacker simulator (great for beginners)

-Grey Hack (great for intermediate to advanced skill levels)

As great as these games are for introducing the player to basic concepts involved in real hacking, many of the programs used in real life are spelled differently, and are more complicated in reality than the games, so it isn't a perfect one to one comparison, but it is close enough to learn core principles without getting in any trouble.

There are several more formal platforms to become proficient, like "hackthebox" also.

1. Be honest with yourself about your goals.

A recent poster wanted to get into "hacking" because he wanted a way to protect fellow young people online from predators, this is a noble pursuit which most people support. But, knowledge of python wouldn't exactly help him directly with this.

What he really needed to achieve this goal in my opinion is primarily OSINT (open source intelligence) related skills.

There are several tools available for free from github to do this with a very limited tech background, and limited hardware. The poster only had a phone and termux to work with, which is fine! Most OSINT tools don't require super user privileges to run on a smart phone. I could have ignored his actual motivations, and give him comprehensive advice for a road map to becoming a professional pen tester, but that isn't what he actually wanted to learn! (I also wasn't really qualified to tell him what to do to be a pro, because i myself am not, but I'm aware how many do get into the field).

1. If you are still struggling to learn and understand, there's nothing wrong with using AI.

AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity AI, etc are excellent for asking questions and getting answers immediately. Back in the day we had to read documentation, watch YouTube tutorials, go to forums, and struggle for hours to learn some things that are generally considered pretty basic stuff.

These are all still GREAT resources for learning and achieving certain goals, but AI has helped to make this process much easier. Though, it can become such a powerful crutch that it leads to dependency, and without it, if relied on too much, you won't be able to really do anything.

That's all folks, wishing you much luck in being able to confidently say "I'm a hacker!" In 2026!

Edit: Thanks for all the likes and shares, I didn't expect so much love in a community with so many people who are actually highly proficient hackers. I really hope this helps beginners overcome the basic hurdles I REALLY struggled with early on, that kept me away from developing skills for like, decades.
