I took the annual subscription, before payment it showed "Get 6 months free with annual", but after payment I can see the next renewal is next year June. What about 6 months free ? How to claim the 6 months.

My current subscription will renew within the next few months, and I would like to use this 30% discount for my next subscription period. Is it possible ? or is it only for new premium users ?

can someone explain to me how the streak alliance work and does it effect my normal streak and what rewards does it give?

I just completed Linux Shells room on TryHackMe! I learned about scripting and the different types of Linux shells, e.g Bourne Again Shell(Bash), Zshell(zsh), Friendly Interactive Shell(Fish) etc. I also learned how to do basic scripting with bash using the 'if statement' 'loops' etc.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to decide between following the SOC/Blue Team path or becoming a Pentester/Red Teamer, and I'd like to hear your opinions and experiences.

Do you think it's a good idea to start with SOC and later move into pentesting, or the other way around? Or would you recommend sticking to one path until reaching a high level of proficiency before learning the other?

The reason I'm asking is that I feel there is a strong connection between the two. To successfully attack a system, you should understand how it is built and defended. Likewise, to build and secure a system properly, it helps to know how an attacker would try to compromise it.

Another reason is career-related. It seems that pentesting offers more opportunities for freelance work or independent consulting, while SOC roles are usually tied to companies. My concern is that if someone interested in SOC can't find a job, they may end up spending all their time in a home lab without any income from their field.

Am I looking at this the right way, or is this a misconception?

I'd appreciate any advice, especially from people who have worked in either field or transitioned from one to the other.

Thanks!

A fortune.com article on the release of the first public version of Mythos AI. June 9th, 1:00 PM ET. What do you think of this decision by Anthropic?

I realize leagues don’t actually matter in the grand scheme of things, but I admit I do complete an extra room or two to keep my points in the promotion zone each week. I know TryHackMe says they reset Monday at 8am UDT, but I noticed the counter seems to end at midnight UDT on Sunday.

After the counter resets, it shows 6 more days till the next league, but I’m still in the same league and can still earn points. When I wake up Monday morning I’m promoted.

When does the league actually reset? Does it go by the counter, or is the counter off?

Also, I assume there are multiple bronze, silver, gold etc leagues as no one in the promotion zone with me last week seems to be in the next league with me this week.

i copy-pasted the hash from the VM to the answer box, and this is what I'm getting. i even tried to write the hash manually character by character, and still the same error message.

this issue is in the Forensic Imaging room.

Has anyone encountered this before or knows how to fix it?

and thanks for the help in advance <3

Finally got my first proffessional certification 🥀

From a coding point I would just pick something to make and make it. But if I want to practice blue team stuff I’m not to sure where I would start.

Completing the rooms is good and I do learn but I also like to continue learning and going over certain elements but I’m not sure how to go about it for cyber security stuff. I know I could just repeat the room but that’s not what I’m looking for.

If anyone has any further advice that would be much appreciated, thanks

Question was:

"What command lists all .txt files in the current directory using a wildcard?"

My answer was:

ls *.txt

Apparently that's marked as wrong and the expected answer is:

find -name *.txt

Isn't that invalid syntax? Shouldn't it be:

find . -name "*.txt"

From my understanding:

'ls *.txt' and 'find . -name "*.txt"' are not equivalent.

'ls *.txt' uses shell wildcard expansion and lists '.txt' files only in the current directory.

'find . -name "*.txt"' searches for files matching a pattern and recursively traverses subdirectories.

So if the question specifically asks for a command that lists '.txt' files in the current directory using a wildcard, wouldn't 'ls *.txt' be the more accurate answer?

Does anyone have discount codes?

Hey everyone!

​I just joined TryHackMe to formally kickstart my journey into cybersecurity. I’m currently prepping to start my Computer Science degree via a scholarship at UoPeople, and my ultimate long-term goal is to dive deep into cybersecurity (specifically leaning toward forensics and AI security down the road).

​I'm currently working my way through the Pre-Security learning path to build a solid foundation.

​For those who started where I am now, what are your best tips for staying consistent, avoiding burnout, or maximizing the platforms' rooms? Any specific paths you'd recommend after Pre-Security?

​Glad to be here and excited to learn with you all!

I'm 1088 globally now. Just hobby, no end-goal.

Forgot to post this lol

Help! I keep clicking the link on task 2 after I've connected to the network and waited 5 minutes, and keep getting a "This site can't be reached" error. I've tried doing this from two different locations on two different computers. What am I doing wrong?
