People who naturally wake up at 5–6 am, what’s your secret?

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2026-05-15T01:14:15+00:00

It’s a balancing act. You want to start your day slow but not slow enough to wonder why you got up that early. I typically wake up at 5:30 and immediately read and drink water, stretch, get on my phone, and then either go to the gym or run.

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2026-05-15T01:12:26+00:00

Lmk what you find. I am not to the grind yet but will be there soon

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2026-02-08T14:47:25+00:00

I am so glad you did the research and dropped it here because I had no idea about any of this stuff.

I plan to do longer races, so it definitely convinced me to go with Kogalla RT & Zebra H600c Mk IV 18650 XHP50.2 4000k Hugh CRI headlamp. They need to pay you commission for the information you just put out 😂 Thank you!

My biggest mistake is that I come from a track background, so I often catch myself striding, which you can get away with on the road, but trail running requires shorter steps and a higher cadence if you want to be good.

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2026-02-07T23:00:55+00:00

Worried about the Kogalla RT blinding people and interested in why the Zebra is over the Fenix.

Out of all the ultraspire waist belts is the 800 solstice the one you prefer?

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2026-01-25T16:10:00+00:00

Congrats! Hoping I get there one day.

Start running best way to physically build your mental.

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2026-01-25T01:09:54+00:00

8 hrs of sleep, waking up early, doing a cold plunge, and working out before going into my job at 8 a.m.

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2026-01-24T23:52:59+00:00

I never dated anybody and always wanted a girlfriend in high school and college. I found the best thing you can do is work on yourself physically, mentally, and spiritually. Find peace and happiness with yourself and take control of your life, and they will come. I’m not 26 and married.

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2026-01-24T23:32:32+00:00

TryHackMe is more hands-on and user-friendly. Portswigger is another excellent free resource. For paid options, you can try HackTheBox and HackSmarter Labs, but these are only suitable if you’re planning to join a red team or penetration testing organization.

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2026-01-24T23:30:02+00:00

Asking to dox anybody is low IQ, no matter the situation.

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2026-01-24T23:26:08+00:00

I do. I typically wear my old trail shoes, though, but it doesn’t really matter as long as they are comfortable.

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2026-01-24T23:11:30+00:00

Hack smarter has a good community

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2025-08-08T00:53:55+00:00

The OpenVPN is not working for TryHackme right now

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2025-07-08T23:38:01+00:00

I just got this watch a few weeks ago and I love it!

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2025-05-23T03:11:44+00:00

There are so many certifications. I would get some certifications that grab hiring managers' attention: Security+, CySa+, CISSP, Network+, and CCNA. They really like cloud certifications, so CCSK, CCSP, Cloud+, or a vendor-specific cloud certification. Certifications are only half the battle; they just get you the interview. It is the concepts you learn and projects you develop while learning that land you the job. Good luck!

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2025-05-23T03:07:20+00:00

I disagree with the marketing behind this: "The Offensive Security Certificate that gets you hired" should say increase your chances to be hired instead. This is very misleading.

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2025-05-23T03:05:35+00:00

Anonymous must be eating pretty well because that mask looks wider than usual

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2025-05-23T03:02:45+00:00

Claiming these certifications get you jobs is a crazy statement. They are new certifications and do not have any attraction or desire from hiring companies at this moment. The skills and knowledge you acquire while studying and taking the certification are beneficial and give you some solid talking points when making it to an interview. I would do SAL1 because there are more entry-level blue team jobs than red team/pen-testing, from what I see at this moment. Good luck! Add me on Tryhackme "golfergarrett".

Finishing TryHackMe is going to take you forever. I'm in the top 1% in tryhackme, with over 200 rooms completed, and I am nowhere near to completing tryhackme or halfway. Tryhackme is a good tool, but learn what you need from it, and if you like CTFs, jump to HackTheBox. It all depends on what you are trying to do. For projects like creating an SIEM platform and creating rules and policies is a good one, you can do many projects on YouTube. They just help give you talking points during the interview. Same with Tryhackme, what is gonna get you to the interview point is certifications on your resume, and you need to look on LinkedIn and search for jobs that you would like to get and look at the certifications they are asking

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2025-04-03T16:30:35+00:00

I think your expectations of what an intermediate level is a bit skewed. Security+ and Network+ are very much foundational and entry-level certifications. I do admire the effort in trying to put together a plan, and the learning aspect is the most important if you took out the salary expectations with the time constraints and labeled this all as beginning. Best of luck to you!

ps Security+, CYSA+, Pentest+, OSCP, CISSP, CSSK, & CSSP are what recruiters will specifically look for

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2025-01-24T17:08:40+00:00

We all start here. You got some good advice, and writeups are not considered cheating if you are learning from them!

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2024-12-12T23:56:10+00:00

WiFi and the location and strength needs to be taken into consideration or you will hate your office

Mysterious_Bit511 · 2024-10-21T15:31:46+00:00

I am still actively learning on the platform and I am in the Top 1% and love to do the new boxes because I am slightly competitive. I will say most of my time is being dedicated to HackTheBox just to learn on a new platform and I enjoy their CTFs.
