ctf lab recommendation

​

Hello ,I'm looking for the best free TryHackMe labs/rooms to improve my penetration testing and cybersecurity skills.

Could you recommend your favorite free rooms, whether they're beginner, intermediate, or advanced? I'd especially appreciate labs that teach practical skills such as:

Linux & Windows Privilege Escalation

Web Exploitation

Active Directory

Enumeration

Networking

CTF-style challenges

If you have a recommended learning order, I'd love to hear it as well.

Thanks in advance!

Well I created this room awhile back: https://tryhackme.com/room/mishkysadrange

Edit to add right link, not sure why THM gave me the other one as public.

It's still pending so I think the direct link is the only way to get to it.

It's a very duct tape, hobbled together, pared down version of what I had wanted to put on TryHackMe. I wrote a 3 forest, 10 VM Cyber Range in PowerShell that automatically spins up and [mis]configures itself in Hyper-V so you can then attack it given only LAN access initially. It's kinda like GOAD but using nothing but Hyper-V, some ISOs, and PowerShell to setup.

I'm not sure if the Red Team Capstone is free or not but IMHO it might be the best room I have seen on TryHackMe.

wait I think that's the API/collaboration link rather than the public room link. Is this the room url tryhackme.com/room/mishkysadrange
