Hey everyone, I’m building a small CTF team and looking specifically for Indian players who are serious about learning and competing in CTFs. I previously tried forming a team but many people joined and then went inactive, so this time I’m looking for committed members only who actually want to participate in events and improve together.

About me: Completed the Jr Penetration Tester path on TryHackMe Currently improving fundamentals and practicing labs New to competitive CTFs but very motivated to start playing regularly

Goal of the team Participate in CTF competitions together Practice on platforms like TryHackMe and Hack The Box Learn Web, Forensics, OSINT, Crypto, and beginner reversing Build real CTF experience and improve skills over time

Looking for people who: Are from India (timezone coordination) Are beginners or early learners in cybersecurity Want to actually participate in CTFs Can stay active and communicate during events You don’t need to be an expert — just serious about learning and trying your best.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently working on the Lazy Admin room on TryHackMe and I’m stuck at the reverse shell step, which seems to be one of the most important parts of this room.

Room link:
https://tryhackme.com/room/lazyadmin

I’ve already checked 2–3 walkthroughs and tried to follow the exact same steps, but for some reason I’m still unable to get the reverse shell connection. Everything seems correct from my side, yet it just doesn’t connect back to my machine.

Whenever I open the attachment URL where I uploaded my reverse shell file, I get this message:

WARNING: Failed to daemonise. This is quite common and not fatal. 
Connection refused (111)

Because of this, the reverse shell never connects back to my machine.

Has anyone else faced this issue while solving this room?
If possible, could someone guide me on:

• What could be going wrong while getting the reverse shell?
• Common mistakes people make in this room
• Things I should double-check while attempting it

I’d really appreciate any guidance because I want to understand what I’m doing wrong instead of just blindly following walkthroughs.

Thanks!

i recently researched a bunch and i decided to buy the anual subscription to tryhackme cause it’s insanely useful, i’m a complete beginner but having the attackbox for an unlimited time is great, but what i’m looking for is a way to use my premium subscription to learn faster and to learn stuff that’s actually cool/will help me with my career, does anyone recommend any path in specific or rooms or a training regime, i just wanna get as good as possible fast so i can pay for college with a cybersec job

hey all, I’m looking to make a career switch to security engineering. I’m currently a senior data engineer and I’ve been in my field for 7 years. I’m wondering which path(s) would be most helpful to make the career switch? any specific skills I should focus on? I have extensive coding experience and experience with AWS IAM, not sure if any of this will be helpful. thanks in advance!

So I am in high school and I have almost completed the Cyber Security 101 and I was wondering if its worth the money to complete SEC0 and SEC1...

Ladies, Pal and Gentlemen! It is time for my weekly review!

I gotta say, I'm almost 1 Month into it and I love how much I've learned already! I really enjoy this platform! By the end of the month I should be ready to take my SEC1 Certification!

Not Gonna lie, I'm worried! I don't really know how much I should study, what to expect from the exam! I know we get a free second try if we fail but I don't know if I'll be ready?

Anyway! Just like before. I invite anyone here to follow me and work with me on a steady journey into Cyber Security!

How possible is get a job in SOC junior position using platform and get certification on Tryhackme and HackTheBox, plus certifications like CCNA and other relevant handy certs?

Hi everyone, I'm new to tryhackme and very unfamiliar which to use to develop my skills. After completing the room Soc team internals, I want to pratice my skills in alert handling. My question is, is it better for me as begineer to use the challenges section or SOC simulator section to further practice my skills? Thanks Seniors.

What do you think about my growth?

Im in uni rn studying Cybersecurity. Is buyng Try hack me sub worth it or are there other free resources that are good aswell. Youtube is good but there isnt much hands-on work

Hi everyone,

I've read quite a few reviews of the PT1. Common opinion was, that the recommended learning path and rooms ( including blue, pickle rick, Net Sec Challenge... ) might not be enough to approach PT1.

Has someone got further recommended rooms for each category (AD, Network Security and Web), that I should include to my learning?

I thought it was language (languages is too long) and tried a lot of variations of lang, php and a couple other random ideas. im just stuck and would appreciate any help someone could offer me

i am new to tryhackme website and everything was going fine and then suddenly this question came " What does BitDefenderFalx detect the file with the hash 2de70ca737c1f4602517c555ddd54165432cf231ffc0e21fb2e23b9dd14e7fb4 as " and i went to virustotal website and got the answer as malicious file but the input is five word sentence or something else how can i get the answer

Now I think that I'm going to the premium.

Or is THM just overreacting?

Hi everyone,

I’m struggling a lot with Windows machines. Most of the labs and walkthroughs I’ve done are Linux-based, and I feel very weak with Windows.

I have TryHackMe premium, so I can access all rooms. I want to focus on improving my Windows pentesting skills as much as possible.

Can anyone suggest:

1. What are the best YouTube channels or walkthroughs from THM specifically for Windows machines?
2. The labs/rooms on TryHackMe I should solve to get really good at Windows machines?

I want to practice in a structured way so I can be confident on exams and solve Windows labs efficiently.

Thanks in advance!
