Just started using pwn.college and got stuck on the "connecting through ssh" part. Anyone know how to fix this? Please help

Try hack me has taken away access to a room I’ve already started working on, under the basis of upgrading to their max subscription. I already paid for a full year. Has this happened to uanyone else?

Want to start learning cybersecurity but don’t know where to begin?

If you’re completely new to hacking/cybersecurity, don’t feel like you need to jump straight into complicated tools or CTFs.

Start with the basics:

• Networking
• Linux
• Security fundamentals
• Recon & scanning
• Web security
• Basic offensive security
• Hands-on practice

I came across Codelivly, which lets beginners start learning cybersecurity for free and follow structured learning paths instead of randomly jumping between YouTube videos and tutorials.

You can start here: Codelivly

No experience needed to start. There are beginner-friendly tutorials, tasks, and hands-on rooms to help you actually practice what you're learning.

If you're starting your cybersecurity journey from zero, give it a try and see if it helps.

What was the first thing you learned when you started cybersecurity?

I learned a lot of cybersecurity through TryHackMe, and I kept running into the same problem:

Sometimes I wasn't completely lost — I just couldn't see the next useful step.

Opening a walkthrough usually solved that, but it was very easy to accidentally spoil the rest of the room.

So I built thm-claude-kit, a free/open-source Claude Code setup I originally made for myself.

The idea is not to let Claude solve the room. It acts more like a coach:

• keeps track of what you've already discovered and tried
• remembers creds, hosts, leads and dead ends
• helps form a hypothesis about what to test next
• explains why that next step makes sense
• you still run the commands yourself

Basic workflow is:

./new-room.sh <name> → claude → /start <room text + target IP>

Then you work through the room normally with Claude alongside the terminal.

It's still very early. I'm mainly curious whether other THM learners would actually find this useful, and especially where the coaching gets things wrong or becomes annoying.

Level 1 taught you what to do with an alert. Level 2 teaches you what to do about it.
SOC Level 2 is completely rebuilt, 76 rooms across the environments hiring managers actually screen for at L2: Microsoft 365, Entra, AWS, Active Directory, and detection engineering. Kick things off with THE DEEP DIVE & 150 SAL2 cert prizes on the table until Aug 27🎯

Did the whole room from Termux on my phone, only used a free GitHub Codespace for hashcat. Chain was wild - AS-REP roasting into a WinRM shell, found a password literally sitting in an LDAP description field, then SeBackupPrivilege to grab the admin flag.

Honestly wild how the entire domain fell just because someone wrote a password in a description box and added a user to Backup Operators. Feels way too realistic.

Hey everyone,

I made a small CTF challenge and figured I’d throw it here since I’m pretty new to making these.

It’s a Forensics / Reverse Engineering challenge based around a weird Nokia 8210 4G system dump. The challenge involves digging through the dump, figuring out what’s going on with a little racing game, and eventually finding the flag.

It’s probably not perfect since this is one of my first proper challenges, so if you try it, I’d really appreciate any feedback on the difficulty, unintended solves, or just whether it’s actually fun to solve.

Flag format: F0LD{...}

If you’re bored and want something small to mess around with, give it a try :D

Thanks!
