Just Completed The CyberSecurity 101 Learning Path

I know many of you would have already completed it but this is the first learning path I completed fully. Although, I started the jr. penetration learning path but I paused it at 40% when CyberSecurity 101 was launched. I just wanted to share it with you guys. Now I will focus back onto the jr. penetration learning path and complete it also. I am very happy that I slowly and gradually learnt all this stuff.

A big thanks to the tryhackme team😊😊

Openvpn suck so does attackbox

Seeing all these discounts it's really starting to annoy me that openvpn keeps dropping out and the Kali attack box suck and is so slow. I don't understand how a company that knows so much about systems haven't gotten it efficient and effective enough that you can actually keep to the times required to do the rooms.

Am I doing something wrong?

Anyhone had a problem with their merch delivery?

I have ordered some merch on October 28th, still no sign of it. DHL number stopped existing this week, no reply from the THM shop e-mail. The order was stuck in Texas DHL depot for a month and then just stopped existing.

I’m in Europe and maybe there was some issue with taxes or something, order was for like $20. Nothing life changing, but sad to not be able to get a reply and no way to track the package.

TryHackMe and getting a cyber job without any experience but just certifications

Hi all,

I plan on getting the tryhackme sale for the yearly sub before it runs out.

ive dabbled with the site as im learning my CompTIA trifecta and soon to be CySA and plan to continue using the site to learn all round cyber security.

Just wondering if people have found it useful putting on a resume like your rank about the site and using it to help answer things regarding interviews etc?

Kind Regards

Use TryHackMe.ovpn in 'NetworkManager' [solution]

It fails to work because NetworkManager's OpenVPN plugin is enforcing stricter cipher requirements than the command line client (which is why they say to use the command line to connect - its a workaround). The server is offering AES-256-CBC, but NetworkManager is only allowing newer AEAD ciphers (AES-256-GCM, AES-128-GCM, CHACHA20-POLY1305).

The way to resolve this is to configure NetworkManager to accept CBC ciphers by editing the connection:

nmcli connection modify YOUR_VPN_NAME +vpn.data "data-ciphers=AES-256-CBC:AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305"

Alternatively, TryHackMe could update their VPN servers to use more modern AEAD ciphers.

AES-CBC is an older encryption mode that's still secure when properly implemented but requires separate authentication and can't take advantage of modern hardware acceleration. Newer modes like AES-GCM and ChaCha20-Poly1305 are preferred since they provide built-in authentication and better performance, making them both more secure and efficient.

Why some rooms are rated as easy and 0 minutes when in reality they take some time and are the kind that gives you a machine and say "hack it"

Reverse Shells & How to know a device is vulnerable

Okay, so I know how reverse shells work

Essentially, some firewalls don't allow inbound connections, but most do allow outbound, so to connect to your target, you upload a file that start's an outbound connection to your device, and using a scan listener you would see and interact with that connection.

But, my question is, how do you know when a device is vulnerable to this, and I don't mean vulnerable to the act of reverse shelling itself, but rather, if you have to already have access to a machine in order to upload the reverse shell, what's the point? How do you get previous access to the machine to upload the file in the first place

I never did anything with reverse shells, but understood them in principle, a few years ago I was teaching a friend to set them up, and for some reason I thought about reverse shells randomly tonight and started researching more on them, I was just watching a youtube video and out of nowhere thought about them not sure why, I guess it just sort of interested me

What should I be doing along side the modules

Obviously I know there's no set in stone way to do things but I was wondering what everyone else's methods of learning and getting familiar with new concepts in try hack me do since at the moment I've only been doing the rooms

Should I Finish The Linux Command Line book Before Using TryHackMe?

I’m reading and practicing on The Linux Command Line, 2nd Edition to learn Linux, but there’s a Black Friday discount on TryHackMe I don't want to miss it. Should I finish the book first or learn from both at the same time? Or should I just focus on THM? What’s the best approach?

Black Friday deal with an active subscription ?

does anyone know a way to take advantage of this deal if your monthly membership hasn't expired yet ?

ive contemplated making a new account and just copy pasting the answers to get this new account up to where i am in progress but i would loose the streak and this feels like too much working around just to save on the annual.

Team up for CTFs, Learn From each other and Motivate one another

Hey Guys, This has been asked so many times before, and here we go again.
Discord is not verifying my cell so I cant communicate within the THM Discord channels..
So, what I would like to know is this: Is there anyone who would like to team up, do some CTF, push each other to become better and learn from one another?
If that's you , feel free to send me a friend request on Discord.

I do at least a couple modules a day, doesn't really matter what time, I'm at my PC all day

My discord name is : _groot_user_61911

Streaks, are they worth it?

So, I hit 180 days today after my ISP screwed me out of my original 90 (roughly 270 days on THM to clarify) and I was expecting a little more than a single 1 day freeze and a 365 goal. Considering that most of my rooms are actually completed on Saturdays, when I have the most free time (parenting and adulting sucks lol) is it even worth it to push for the 365 badge??
