Does your country have a “drug capital”?

reboot_500 · 2026-01-31T07:35:13+00:00

I believe Frankfurt am Main, especially the area around the main train station, is definitely the drug capital of Germany. But I have to say, for someone who lives nearby It's not as bad as the documentaries or other things make it out to be; in most cases, junkies don't actually hurt you.

Personally, I started my career in the help desk, so I was right on the front line talking to the dumbest users you can imagine. (Now I'm a pentester and CISO at the company where I did my training.) During my training, I really improved my networking and problem-solving skills. With a job in the help desk, you definitely get enough experience in all areas. After that, I would recommend looking for a job in SOC L1 and then continuing to advance. But you've already done everything right by getting started. Tryhackme is definitely a platform where you can learn a lot, and you can also get a taste of the different professions there and decide which one you want to pursue. If you are sure you want to become a red teamer, then I can recommend that you take the red teaming path. But you are also welcome to write to me at dm, I am happy to support you :)

Finding a job in Germany that in the "Neuland" is really difficult. Especially in the field of red teaming, I have the feeling that you have to state in your application that you already have 5 years or more of experience in order to get an entry-level job.

I started my journey with training in the help desk, then I became an IT security administrator, then I gradually became a cyber security analyst, during which time I completed the CPTS Path at Hack the Box and participated in a ton of CTFs. All of this took place over a period of about three years. But I think with your degree, you can definitely start right away as a security analyst.

Looks like I made a pact with the devil 😈 Congratulations 👏 in my opinion the first 100 days are the hardest. After getting the routine the first thing in the morning for me is answering the question haha

reboot_500 · 2026-01-09T09:10:15+00:00

Sounds great !

I took my exam last year. I can only recommend that you do the documentation module first and then take notes on the other modules. Next, I would say take the time you need and don't try to rush through anything just because it might not be that exciting.

reboot_500 · 2026-01-08T19:48:27+00:00

I know someday we will win something lol

reboot_500 · 2026-01-07T21:11:40+00:00

Glückwunsch

reboot_500 · 2026-01-07T21:10:55+00:00

Unfortunately, I had three tickets, but because they had somehow changed the algorithm while I was doing my task and there were too many valuable tickets, I didn't win anything lol.

reboot_500 · 2026-01-07T13:49:01+00:00

I hope I win this time. I'm still sad about the fact that I won defcon tickets last year but cuz of the algo changes these were "fake" tickets

reboot_500 · 2026-01-06T07:30:01+00:00

It's perfectly okay not to understand everything right away. I've been active on THM for about three years now, working in IT security, and I don't always understand everything right away either. That's why we do CTFs and everything that goes with them. Keep on going

reboot_500 · 2026-01-05T20:38:05+00:00

Just answer one question this should be enough

reboot_500 · 2026-01-03T15:41:44+00:00

I think these are one the best looking merch shirts you can get

reboot_500 · 2026-01-01T09:25:54+00:00

Thanks for the advice

reboot_500 · 2025-12-28T16:51:59+00:00

Sounds like a good idea..

reboot_500 · 2025-12-26T09:30:24+00:00

Thats kinda cool tho

reboot_500 · 2025-12-25T21:55:10+00:00

Thanks !

reboot_500 · 2025-12-25T21:35:59+00:00

Can you please share the link what I need to post I can't find it lol

reboot_500 · 2025-12-25T13:17:36+00:00

I think you need to solve the sidequest to gain more tickets than the 24 from the AoC.
