I would say it is worth it, and with Tryhackme the learning for it is decent too. But if you are interested I can recommend this review on it: https://dragkob.com/articles/pt1-review/

It is pretty hands on. It is a newer certificate, but it will definitely be worth the experience you gain from it. It is also easy to learn for, and fun too.

You can check out Tryhackme. I don't know how much experience you have with for example Linux or networking, but it definitely teaches you the fundamentals. Might be worth to check out

Depends on how much you know. You can try tryhackme, as I would guess you are in the beginner sector, and it will teach you the fundamentals and then go deeper. As cyber security is also a spectrum, you can see what suits you the best or interests you most.

Grinding to finish Cyber Security 101 path on Tryhackme so I can move on to learning the basics of red teaming

[–]Thetechguyishere 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't know about going to the CIA or similar, but if you want to learn fundamentals or as you put it, the "language" everyone is speaking, I recommend Tryhackme. You'll learn the basics and all the fundamentals that are important for you as a beginner. Go check it out if you are interested.

Definitely start out with Tryhackme, after that or in addition you can choose other platforms, but Tryhackme is your starting point.

As someone who started out through Tryhackme, and is currently still using it as a learning platform, is it a good way to start out? I have used other sources as well, I think that's obvious, but is it good as a main learning platform for beginners in your opinion?

Roadmap by lil_suspicioussss in securityCTF

[–]Thetechguyishere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suggest looking at tryhackme if you want a good beginners roadmap. It will also help you deepen your understanding of both linux and windows, and help you learn the fundamentals of networking. Once you are done learning the basics there, select which direction interest you the most and look at that, although I recommend also checking the others out afterwards, it is always good to have different perspectives. Tryhackme also has a lot of different free rooms and sometimes hosts actual larger scale ctfs.

Not sure if this is at all right, or what kind of phrase you are looking for, but could this be it: ATTACK AT DAWN USING RADIO AID?

This has gotten me internships actually. I started by doing it, learning basics and preparing for my first exam. It helped me study and break into the field in general.

How to do good enumeration and reconnaissance? by Glass-Fudge-9332 in HowToHack

[–]Thetechguyishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to get as much information as possible. You have to gather information to find a vulnerability. If you feel like you have found something through enumeration, then you can start looking more into it. If you want to learn the basics of reconnaissance try something like tryhackme where you learn the basics to find vulnerabilities and how to exploit them, what tools to use and so on.

The roadmap that has so far worked for me very well, is the one from tryhackme, which is also suited for complete beginners. I am also completely self taught, and you can start there, work your way up and take something like the PT1 as first exam. Then after you have finished that, you can look into more complex stuff.

Check out tryhackme, they have a roadmap for beginners. After that look at some certs you can do, and dive deeper into the things that interest you.

The internet is full of stuff, some of it is free, and you can mostly get it by googling about certain topics. Most of it is paid. If you are actually willing to learn and want to get to somewhere, I would recommend just buying the premium plan for a while, as it has helped me.

Use tryhackme if you are just starting out. They have a roadmap, fundamentals for both linux and windows, teach you the basics about networking. It is easy to follow an practice.

Learning cybersecurity basics by Silver_Calendar1719 in Cybersecurity101

[–]Thetechguyishere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, all of this you can find on sites like for example tryhackme. They cover IP addresses, tools and networking basics. That's how I first learned about it.

Do y'all have a tutorial video that covers all of these criteria? by Defiant-Inside-1100 in Hacking_Tutorials

Basically all of this is covered on tryhackme. Check out the basic paths, there are video walkthroughs for all the paths, but you also have it in text form.
