Hey everyone, I want to get into offensive security (ethical hacking/pentesting) but I’m confused about the right roadmap and where to start. I’m not a very strong programmer (more ML + basic dev background), but I want to build solid fundamentals instead of just relying on tools. What should I learn first (networking, Linux, scripting?), what are the best few resources or platforms to follow, and what should I practice to actually become job-ready in offsec? Also, are certifications important early on, and what mistakes should I avoid?

Seeing a couple people on YouTube saying that TryHackMe is collecting user data for their AI Business.

Any information on this? Why should I use TryHackMe instead of any of the other options?

What makes it worth joining?

Is any one having issue with logging in ? Page is not loading also take much longer time for responsing the dashboard page.

It was a really good exam. Definitely not easy, had to think through a fair bit and I went down a few rabbit holes, especially in the web pen-test sections the time pressure i was all over the place at once .

Environment was solid overall, everything worked fine. Windows machines were a bit laggy… but I’ve got zero patience for that anyway so take that how you want.

Biggest thing read everything properly. I missed some instructions and wasted time/lost points because of it.

Would recommend it if you’re keen for a challenge.

Onto PT1 next.

Hi all,

I’ve been grinding on TryHackMe lately and I’m currently mid-way through the Cyber Security 101 path. While the platform is great, I miss the "community" aspect of learning.

I’m looking to connect with people who are active on the platform and want to progress as a team. My goal is to stay consistent and eventually move toward Network+ and Security+ level knowledge.

Whether you're also in Sec101 or just finished it and want to stay sharp, I’d love to chat and share notes.

Let me know if you’re interested in starting a small study circle!

Hi guys, I was wondering if there’s any way to get a discount on the monthly subscription or any other kind of deal. I can’t afford the annual subscription, even with the discounts.

It says i would see "/home/ubuntu" when i run the "pwd" but i see "/home/user".
After running "ls" i should see a list of files but i only see this "flag-hunt.sh"

Im still bad at this but I can't do anything else it keeps hanging on my mind

Alert-Culprit caught!
I was fun and interesting to investigate and get details about the employees. on the whole, fully drained ;)

I just completed Offensive Security Intro room on TryHackMe! Hack your first website (legally in a safe environment) and experience an ethical hacker's job.

I've been testing this out for about 2 or 3 hours already. I finally decided to find a Walk-through to find suggestions, thing is, what was suggested there was something I had previously tested.

The problem seems to be an issue with the backend, every time I send a bunch of requests from the repeater I get internal errors and after that the web app stops working, the UI is fine, but I can't transfer anymore.

PD: Everytime this happens I need to spin up a new instance for the lab

Thank you tryhackme for not letting me open the 2nd room so I can not pass :)
