New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: The Cyber Plumber's Handbook – SSH Tunnel Like a Boss

Show HN: The Cyber Plumber's Handbook – SSH Tunnel Like a Boss
215 by opsdisk | 31 comments on Hacker News.
Looking to get some feedback from the Hacker News community. I wrote the book with a focus on penetration testers and red teamers, but there are great examples for network admins, developers, and blue team defenders as well. You can pick up a copy for free here through May 19, 2019: http://bit.ly/2w4kQom... Please note, because it's hosted on Gumroad, it does require an email. If you don't want to give out your actual email, check out an anonymous email service. I give it away to students for free, so if you know of one that might like it, send them here to get instructions: https://cph.opsdisk.com About The Cyber Plumber's Handbook... This book is packed with practical and real world examples of SSH tunneling and port redirection in multiple realistic scenarios. It walks you through the basics of SSH tunneling (both local and remote port forwards), SOCKS proxies, port redirection, and how to utilize them with other tools like proxychains, nmap, Metasploit, and web browsers. Advanced topics included SSHing through 4 jump boxes, throwing exploits through SSH tunnels, scanning assets using proxychains and Metasploit's Meterpreter, browsing the Internet through a SOCKS proxy, utilizing proxychains and nmap to scan targets, and leveraging Metasploit's Meterpreter portfwd command. Let me know if you have any questions! Looking forward to your comments/feedback.

Ask HN: How to handle tasks that require design skills as a freelance web dev?
3 by n4bz0r | 5 comments on Hacker News.
Occasionally, clients ask me to make a new page or a new "widget". If something similar isn't already implemented on the site, it requires certain graphical design skills to make such things from the ground up. I like to believe that I have a good taste for design, but lack of experience, and overall poor "design vocabulary" wouldn't allow me to make such things efficiently . As my clients are usually small businesses, they don't have a designer nor willing to find one. They feel comfortable with having a single guy handling everything. And that's understandable in such market. But I have no idea how much should charge for the way-beyond-secondary skillset. Sometimes I try to explain, that I'm not exactly the right guy for the job when it comes to "drawing". The common argument is: "it doesn't really matter as long as you can deliver something that works". I love to make my clients happy, so I don't turn them down immediately. Maybe they really are in need of just something in order to function properly. So I try hard to make the thing. Results aren't exactly awful, and clients seem to be happy. Sometimes I even like the end-result myself. But at least half of the time it doesn't look good enough to me . I never had a complaint, but I feel bad charging the same amount I ask for my primary skillset. And the time spent is just ridiculous compared to the other things I do! For example, I can make a markup and implement backend in, say, 2 hours. And then, there would be 5 to 8 hours that are spent tinkering with fonts, images, colors, spacings. How should I charge? Should I avoid such feats? Should I hire a designer? Or maybe I should develop needed skills myself as I am kinda already stepped into it? It's also worth noting that I never have never hired a freelance designer, so it's a bit frightening. Please, tell me about your experience.

Ask HN: I can never learn coding
7 by throwawayt2119 | 6 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HNers, I have been trying to learn coding for over 10 years. Languages I tried to learn include Visual Basis, C#, .NET, C/C++, Java, JavaScript, PHP, HTML, CSS. I cannot code in any language. It is serious attention problem I have been facing. I tried to abandon the programming. But Again I got curious about web development. And for last 1 year, I am trying to learn Python. Again, I am failing due to lack of focus. What is wrong with me? How can I focus and learn coding? Or, should I forget about learning programming for good? I would appreciate any help.

Let's start using DuckDuckGo more often
190 by rms_returns | 160 comments on Hacker News.
I'd made a similarly titled post[1] a couple years back and I seriously don't know what kind of usage DuckDuckGo has right now. But I'd like to think that it is extensively used, at least in the developer community. And I strongly believe that people should start degoogling their lives at least slowly and gradually if its not possible to do it at once. If more people start using DDG, the search engine will improve and that least that one aspect of degoogling could be achieved to a certain extent. [1] http://bit.ly/2iMuXFE

NoAuth – Easy Authentication with Privacy
4 by konsalexee | 4 comments on Hacker News.
I have a question that I am unable to answer to my self the last days. Any help and thoughts would help for sure. I am curious why nobody provides an authentication service that would work with OAuth 2.0/OpenID with privacy on it's centre. Let me explain my self further. It would be lovely if there was a service where I could make an account, verify that I am a real human and then I could use them to login to various apps or platforms. I would love to see a substitute of Facebook/Google login with data privacy in the centre. And for data to be safe and not distributed for advertising reasons, this service would need money to survive. So I would pay for that kind of a service. Have anyone thought or worked on anything like this? Why it is not feasible so far? Any thoughts? ProtonMail someone would say can be a way of implementing this, if we sign in with our ProtonMail email. So then, why they do not create an OAuth 2.0/OpenID services to let their users signup anywhere they want with ease?

Hello Guys, I want to know how you should negotiate before accepting or after accepting your job offer. I have accepted an offer without negotiating and now I am feeling that my future employer/recruiter underestimated my value. How should I negotiate now? I am feeling stupid because I don't have enough guts or skills to negotiate. I read many articles and blogs but I was never able to make a better deal. How do you guys ask for a raise? What do you mention? What is important? - Position: Software Engineer, - Location: London, - Work Experience: 10 months, - Base pay: 55k pounds/year Note: I am not trying to be greedy but I want to learn how to make a better deal or how to estimate your own value.
