TryHackMe is great, I really like the amount of free labs and learning they provide, I completed about 20 rooms on their, I stopped cause I hate reading.....

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:35 AM

Overall pretty beginner to intermediate friendly

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:36 AM

Its great to get on some hands on practice

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:36 AM

And enforces your learning

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:36 AM

You dont have to follow a certain road map imo (which is paid)

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:36 AM

You can just look up the rooms youre interested in Red teaming/Blue Teaming, etc

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:37 AM

And start with easy

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:37 AM

Then finish as many easy as you could

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:37 AM

And then start with medium to hard

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:38 AM

But I wouldn't replace it with your labs

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:38 AM

Make sure youre doing labs and projects

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:39 AM

Because, from my knowlege.....tryhackme could careless if u have 1000 rooms done

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:39 AM

But its great for personal self improvement, cybersec wise

Who's you :salute:

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:40 AM

Oh same server

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:40 AM

Yessir

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:41 AM

Theres other websites you can consider that are also free but personally....I like tryhackme over hackthebox

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:41 AM

Also dont half ass tryhackme

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:42 AM

Make sure youre doing rooms fully, dont let other be like "I have 100 rooms done

Cyber ONI•6/7/25, 3:43 AM

Its a self pace thing, not a race

get yourself a tryhackme subscription do a ton of them and gain the knowledge and once you gain it you move onto hackthebox that's where the fun shit is

depends what you mean by "cybersecurity"

tryhackme is a very good resource for learning how to pentest but it doesn't give you much of the fundamentals of blue teaming

it's very good for red teams sure but it doesn't give you much for blue teaming, all you can really do is think about the particular vulnerability that you exploited, and a lot of the time the vulnerability was something very basic like an unpatched version or an unsanitized input or something

id say tryhackme is a good resource, but also watch some videos on basic cybersecurity, and try to apply them to the servers you hack in THM
