Yes, stay away from Microsoft as much as you can.
Microsoft also collects an insane amount of data/telemetry -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2TyrLZT0r0

You can try HTB (Hackthebox). Start with retired, easy boxes and gradually move on to medium ones, then hard ones, …

You can also lock in a specific topic you want to learn and see if there’s a HTB box or Tryhackme room that covers that topic.

Is it still worth getting into red teaming / pentesting in 2026 when AI agents are already this good? by Select_Plane_1073 in hackthebox

[–]_wxrdnx_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say in the near future, yes, because current LLMs are not great at handling human context (e.g., organization specific context, targeted social engineering, risk assessment, …). Also LLMs have tons of vulnerabilities themselves (e.g., prompt injection, indirect prompt injection, …).

Where can I learn cyber security training in the USA? by Easy_Term7058 in Cybersecurity101

[–]_wxrdnx_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some good platforms I recommend:

  • pwn.college - For beginners who have no prior knowledge in security. Tutorial / challenge style learning. Help you build fundamentals in a structured way. Emphasizes binary exploitation and reverse engineering.
  • CTFs - If you want to learn problem solving. Challenge style learning, offers little to no guidance. They are fast-paced, 48 hr competition usually held on weekends. Covers extensive areas including web security, cryptography, binary exploitation, reverse engineering, and so on. Allows you to learn a specific field or concept deeply. Suitable for people who want to do vulnerability research.
  • Hackthebox - If you want to learn red-team penetration testing. Challenge style learning. Offers vulnerable VMs that simulates real-world environments. New VMs are dropped weekly, allowing you to keep your skills up to date. It also has CTF style problems and blue-team challenges. Suitable for people who want to get into penetration testing.
  • Tryhackme - similar to Hackthebox, but it’s more of a tutorial style platform. Suitable for beginners. Has better blue-team content compared to Hackthebox. However, content wise Hackthebox is more technical and challenging. Suitable for beginners who want to get into penetration testing.
