    Getting in to hacking

    Senior security consultant here. Also happy to help. Always was into computers and programming early. P.s don’t install Kali, just run it on a VM. Nobody runs it as a main OS, we just boot it up when needed :) We didn’t have all the (mostly) free hacking networks when I started, HTB, TryHackMe...

    Mountain Biking

    Had the new bike around Hamsterley the other day and it’s a dream. Eeb is the future. Flew round the loop to be honest! Suspension has been set up to standard but needs a tune for sure. Very plush. Bike is heavy and will take some getting used to but I really like the extra weight. Feels planted.

    Aye have a mate with a Shimano and he’s had to buy a new one etc. The Haibike used a Yamaha PWX-3 and seems to be fine when chipped so fingers crossed. May not even need it tbh.

    Mountain Biking

    Will do mate cheers for the tip! You can get the chips for these to derestrict it, a mate of mine done it to his Haibike. Think they're roughly £300. I'll get one eventually but want to run this in for a good few months, just to make sure it runs fine first. I'm sure it will, my mates had no...

    Mountain Biking

    Yeah it’s just a total steal at that price. I usually ride bike parks / uplift days, have a Saracen Myst for those days though I may take this to give it a proper downhill thrashing. I’ll be using it mostly for Scottish steep stuff (Golfie) and laps at descend etc.

    Think I’m gonna pull the plug on the haibike nduro 8 freeride. Total steal for around the 4.2k mark. Top ohlins suspension and everything else too. Bike markets crashed now and it’s great lol.

    What watch do you wear?

    I’ll get some more pics up tomorrow for you, it really is a beautiful piece in the flesh and the way the dial shimmers and changes depending on the light is something else. The spring drive movement is incredibly smooth, luxury watches have a great sweep but nothing moves like the spring drive!

    What watch do you wear?

    No they didn’t, good rapport with the guy there and pop in often. They said all applications are being referred / rejected recently with the economy, banking and interest situation at the moment. Was just in today to try again and stuff like £2,000 tissots are going to referrals with a 30%...

    What watch do you wear?

    Only 4 months ago for the Grand Seiko I was pre approved a further 12k finance, they said in the shop you can get the reverso you want as well if you like? I said no that’s daft. I’ll come back. Soo, I went back and got rejected lol. My credit score is not good tbh (I only have a small amount...

    Anyone work in Cyber security ?

    CrowdStrike and Cortex give us offensive guys headaches I can attest to them both, we have to be really careful what we do when we encounter them as they alert up the wazzoo whenever we try different injection techniques / process manipulation stuff. Secondly the best one is probably a properly...

    What watch do you wear?

    I’ve wanted it for a good while and had the chance to get it at 9.2 when I got the Grand Seiko a few months back, but I passed on it. It went to 10.1 and now 11.2 Have a good rapport with the guy in the shop and asked him about the rumoured price hikes and he said yeah they’re going to go up...
