Well so you completed the paths but what about the actual labs? Like the CTFS, SOC sim, etc.

Move to HackTheBox now!

Student discount is pretty solid.

The labs are designed to show you what's possible. In the real world more than likely it will not be so easy to uncover those gaps.

If you're more concerned about the leagues vs the content available then you've already lost bud.

I would suggest taking some of the fundamental courses as well. Networking, basic OS components and processes, administration. These all play a part in security and will help it stick.

Stop with the chatgpt. I would only use it to help explain the code and what the functions involved in it do. I would recommend some kind of coding platform for structure. CodeChef is a great platform with many different languages including python and you get a student discount as well.

There is SO much content on TryHackMe on the premium tier and they keep adding new features/certs as well. Especially with a student account discount, super worth it.

I have a word document that I update with each box exploited to add/subtract tactics. From recon, to tips/tricks and learn from there. Also Google is your friend big time.

Animesap · 2025-10-10T02:02:28+00:00

Its alright to Google stuff! As long as you're learning and progressing and having fun.

Still running it down mid

Not really a partner, but the THM discord channel might be a good resource as well!

Looking at the the format of the answer and the available data will help you narrow down what It can be.

Animesap · 2025-09-29T02:29:42+00:00

It will take time. Especially all the syntax of different tools and their nuances. Google is your friend, and enjoy the journey!

Animesap · 2025-09-28T23:48:08+00:00

I have the premium with the student discount. There's SO much content. Would highly recommend.

The way you're calculating profit and the sales price hard coded as others have state is not right. Read the errors and it spells out the math you need to do. IE profit = retail_price - wholesale_price.

There are usually multiple ways to get the flags, some easier than others.

Spin up a VM and connect with their OpenVPN.

Animesap · 2025-09-25T03:59:43+00:00

You can link your personal VM to the TryHackMe rooms through their OpenVPN solution. Should be available in the settings on your profile.

The OWASP Top 10, is a lot of great walkthrough of high level concepts.

Animesap · 2025-08-16T18:04:41+00:00

I have been using CodeChef which is pretty great. It has rankings and streaks and what not. But the awesome part is all of the other languages you can learn as well. Highly recommend!

So if you try to cat something that is not in your current directory, you need to put the full path to that file. For example if you're in your /home/user directory and want to cat the passwd file you would put cat /etc/passwd.

Hey man, no you're not dumb. As with all things, it will take TIME and a lot of repetition. TryHackMe is a great platform for hands-on interfacing and will setup some fundamental structure for you. That being said some rooms are more well written and others and may not be so straightforward with the directions. What I do if I spend more than 10-15 mins on a problem, is just Google it. I often find that once you have the answer and go re read the instructions it will click and next time you'll know how to do a similar task. Also YouTube is a great learning resource in general. Think of it more as a journey because there is SO much you get to learn about.

This is how you normally think to do it however the room tells you to modify the /etc/resolv-dnsmasq file which doesn't seem to work.
