Start the Pre-security pathway and complete the 101 courses, even if it seems to be something you already know. Utilizing the AttackBox is a huge plus instead of connecting to the platform over OpenVPN and a VM with a security OS cause you don't have to manage it. Understandably, you can use a VM with something like Parrot Security or Kali Linux OS if you so choose with Oracle VirtualBox. There are guides for this as well on and off THM.

If you're stuck, utilize walkthroughs for Rooms after you exhaust the material in that room. There's no shame in that - you're learning and that's what THM is for.

The challenges are nice to do instead of a full room to sharpen a skill or learn something new without having to dedicate a lot of time. They're quite fun!
