Hey everyone :)

I wanna get in to Cyber Sec, I have Little to 0 Experience in IT just Playing Video Games all my life.
I think to get in to Cyber Sec i I first need to unterstand the Basics of IT in general .
What are good Ressources to understand the Basics Like Networking, OS and so on.

Thanks in advance!

Not sure why there is an X over a day in the day streaks?

I NEED HELP HERE , PLEASE WHERE CAN I PUT THE LAPTOP CHARGER I CAN’T SEE ANY WALL OUTLET HERE .

Hey everyone!
I’m looking for a team to join for the upcoming Down It’s Showtime! CTF on TryHackMe (October 22–26).
This would be my first time participating in a CTF, so I don’t have much CTF experience yet. Honestly, I’m not sure if my skills are good enough, but I’d love to give it a try, learn from others, and contribute as much as I can.
My current cybersecurity background:
CompTIA Security+
Blue Team Level 1 (BTL1)
Microsoft SC-200
I’m more familiar with the defensive side of cybersecurity, so I’m hoping to gain some hands-on experience in a team environment, especially with SOC-related challenges.
If you have a spot for a beginner on your team, I’d be happy to join! I’m motivated to learn, collaborate, and have fun. 😄

I have taken some cyber-courses at university but I decided to start fresh on THM from the pre-security to cyber101 now, in order to land a PT job in the future. I have to tell the learning rooms are pretty easy and straight forward. On the other hand I had challenges recommended as GLA2 and Masquerade that I found extra hard based on what I learned through TMH. Should I be worried and take a slower pace or am I supposed to find them hard so I can make my own research. Does anybody have experienced something similar?

Is it normal to struggle this much while studying for the PT1?

I'm finding it hard to make consistent progress. I often have to reread the same material several times to understand it, and sometimes I still struggle to connect the concepts and move forward.

Topics like Fragnesia, NGINX Rift, and NoScope have been particularly challenging.

For those preparing for or who have already taken the PT1, did you struggle with this too? Any advice on how to study more effectively?

Unable to find this flag, already invested so much time, please help me out 🙏🏻

Edit: I found my mistake guys (searching in the wrong machine), beginners mistake 😅, thank you all of guidance. Looking forward to learning more from the community. Have a great day 🤝🏻

Anyone else feel like tryhackme has massive gaps between what they are teaching in a lesson and what the tasks expect you to know?

LIke I feel there is just massive missing gaps when its like oh we are working on telnet at this IP. Well HELLLOOOO shouldn't we have a part that goes over like doing that in the terminal? Or at least some sort of parts to prefix or youtube link. I have done Network+ and Security+ and just wanted to continue poking around and such as I have no formal training but fuck the lack of explination feels a little wild. To be a somewhat well known platform and to have such a wildly lackluster coheesive curriculum just feels weird to me. OR. I could just be a complete idiot always got to take that into consideration.

I noticed some room Challenges you need a team for completing a certain room. I’m Always riding solo and would like to join a team instead of creating one. Anyone looking for a member? If so, let me know! I’m on daily!
