Hi everyone, I’m currently going through the HTB Academy Penetration Tester path.

The more I learn, the more I realize I keep forgetting earlier concepts, so I’m trying to improve how I revise and organize my notes.

Would anyone be willing to share useful cheatsheets, notes, mind maps, study structures, or revision resources that helped them retain the material better?

Thanks in advance, I really appreciate any guidance.

Become SOC L1

I recently passed the SC-200 exam, but my knowledge is mostly theoretical rather than hands-on. How can I access and use Microsoft security products for free so I can explore them, gain practical experience, and strengthen my technical skills?

Got free voucher for Microsoft Certified: Security Operations Analyst Associate

Hi everyone,

I recently got a free voucher for the Microsoft Certified: Security Operations Analyst Associate exam, but I have to take it on 28/06/2026.

The problem is that I'm a complete beginner and only have 3 days to prepare.

Is it realistic to pass with just 3 days of study? If so, what topics should I focus on, and are there any good study resources or practice exams you recommend?

Also, if anyone has study notes, cheat sheets, exam tips, or a study guide that helped you pass, I'd really appreciate it if you could share them with me.

Thanks in advance!

Complete beginner in pentesting – Is OSCP realistic for me?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a beginner in penetration testing and only have a basic understanding of the fundamentals. Right now, I’m working through the HTB Penetration Tester path, although I haven’t completed it yet.

I’m considering taking the OSCP directly and dedicating myself fully to preparing for and passing the exam. I’m willing to put in 100% commitment and focus if I decide to pursue it.

For those who have already taken OSCP, do you think it’s realistic for someone with my level of experience to start preparing for it now? How long does it typically take to become fully prepared for the exam?

I’d really appreciate any advice, recommendations, or personal experiences.

Thanks in advance!
