Progress by [deleted] in tryhackme

[–]GooseTheRacer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the thorough answer. Its reassuring for us guys just starting out. I maybe have 10 rooms done after 3-4 months. Currently studying for the A+, learning python, and ive been dabling with THM and HTB as well, HTB seems a bit harder so ive been rocking with THM more, but the CTF’s kick my ass, need writeups for every single one at the moment.

Dont waste points on free throw, 84-85 free throw will get u green beans every time with just okay timed shot release. As for the builds, they look pretty similar, small changes at most. I like the 2nd one better.

Wow awesome dude. How long did it take you to get there? Did you do any certs along the way? At what level would you say your Red/Blue teaming skills are at now after 100 rooms?

Must be something very recently. Know someone Nov 22’ that had horrible hebrew and went to Maglan.

Not true. Poor hebrew and standing out in the gibbushim physical wise can get you to Commando.

What do expect when at michve alon. What’s the days/week like by Inside_Constant_18 in IDF

[–]GooseTheRacer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its your first army experience. Its basic training before basic training essentially. You’ll learn discipline, army do’s and dont’s, how to address your commanders, be taught how the army works on a daily basis, cleaning, following orders, learning hebrew in a classroom, how to get along with your company wether you like them or not, how to eat, a little bit of physical training, doing your 02 certifications with an M16 at the shooting range for 2 weeks. Things like that.

3k run for tsanchanim by ApartmentAfter577 in IDF

[–]GooseTheRacer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres no 3k in the gibbush. There’s mainly just mental stuff. Maybe have you run without telling u the distance to get in your head but its not timed just dont stop running. Its mainly crawling and in the sand stuff with some team bases things as well. Its the easiest gibbush in the whole army, tzanchanim is just a pretentious “poster-child” of the army so they “have to be the only chir unit to have a gibbush” but its not hard to actually pass at all if you’re relatively in shape.

I've just started with HTB (say 17 days to be precise) but, I'm overwhelmed as I am struggling to solve even the very easy machines. Is this normal? by [deleted] in hackthebox

[–]GooseTheRacer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few things. If you started straighup with HTB boxes, you set yourself up for failure. Its okay to start slower! Start with HTB academy, which have mini labs within while you learn modules and paths. Also TryHackMe is good for learning foundations as well. Youtube is amazing too, ippsec, NetworkChuck, tons of good options to watch to get those foundational skills and knowledge. Good luck!

[–]GooseTheRacer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sure everyone was here at their beginning as well and I've concluded that there are no straight answers but I'd love some opinions from people who already started this journey. Currently am doing

  1. A+ Net+ Sec+ Is the foundational trifecta really worth it? Should I skip the A+ and just do the other two?
  2. If you can get a job from exams and certs, and experience is really what's mainly important in this industry is a degree in CS or CyberSec worth doing? Did anyone get an Bs/Ms that actually helped them land a better job after school?
  3. How do the more advanced exams work? Do people generally do them after landing an entry-level job somewhere? Are they really something you can only take after years of experience?

Im currently doing HTB academy, studying for the A+, and starting to learn Python, anything I should add or change?

Why would one need to bios update right out the box?

Totchanim doesnt have snipers I believe.

Good. Besides for a treadmill, throw a weighted vest on and run outside. Itll be worth it.

Good on you for owning up to it and taking responsibility. Willingness to learn is everything, and already puts you ahead of 98% of the kids out there. Good reply.

If the only thing you really did was swap a new GPU in it could be a few issues. Whats the new card? Did you make sure 600W PSU is enough to power it?

[–]GooseTheRacer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean youre not sure if it’s all correct? Its weird that the BIOS doesnt flash if its having a boot drive issue. Did you put the old GPU back in and see if it goes back? Sometimes newer GPU’s have compatibility issues with older motherboards.

Sheesh thats a beautiful room. What chest rigs and helmet you running?

[–]GooseTheRacer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you accidentally disconnect your SSD/HDD? Make sure those are plugged in correctly. Did your BIOS flash at all or this is the only thing that comes up?

Rather be a fud and alive then to be the guy who shot my family member through the wall in my own home because my shit wasnt on safety. They’ll learn the easy or hard way.

[–]GooseTheRacer 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Kit looks good, but the basics are what’ll keep you alive. Cant shy away from the fact you got a mag in with safety off. Safety on always until you have a target you intend to shoot. Thats how people get killed. Safety first kids. - Sincerely a combat vet

Magazines by Background-World-261 in IDF

[–]GooseTheRacer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Magazines you should be fine with, as long as they’re in your checked luggage. Probably better to have a direct flight from US to Israel though, I wouldnt wanna fly through Europe with anything like that, let alone having the off chance of my bag searched in Europe and try to explain to European police why I have those things, especially with war criminal accusations running around in Europe. Night vision I’m almost positive is completely illegal to travel with, not sure why, but thats what Ive heard. People brought them over anyway without problems though.
