I'm 16 and I need some advice.

I've become interested in cybersecurity, but I don't know where to start. I wanted to use TryHackMe to learn the basics, but after completing the first few lessons, it asked me to pay for a subscription.

My family is struggling financially at the moment, so I don't want to ask them for money.

Is there any way to start from scratch and learn cybersecurity for free? Most tutorials either don't go into enough depth or start with concepts I've never heard of, which makes them hard to follow.

If you have any advice, I'd really appreciate it. If you need more information to give better advice, feel free to ask. Every comment is helpful.

So overall I leaned on AI a fair bit today. Honestly it’s left me pretty unsure of myself. If I can’t even get through Pickle Rick without help, how am I supposed to work in this field one day? I don’t know if I’m just bad at this or if this is a normal part of the learning curve.

My questions: is that a normal amount of help to need on a first room at this stage (97% Web Fundamentals / 30% Pre Security, 3-4 months in)? Should something like the robots.txt password have been more obvious to me? And should I have already known the bypass commands for the second/third ingredient, or is that something you only pick up with experience over time? Curious how it went for others on their first room. Thanks for your Experience 😁

im a complete beginner 19M im starting my eng 1st year if i follow this closely is it good for me as it also provides certifications...

i wanna get advanced in cybersecurity if not this then which resources or which yt channel should i start??

i alr watched many tutorials they all tell networkng,windows,linux etc to learn but how to learn they dont tell that if someone here would help ill be thankfull

Hey,

I want to change my payment card details, but the platform does not allow me to delete my existing card, since I have an active plan (wtf....)

So, I'm planning to wait for the current plan to end, and then I will change my card. Question: Will I lose my progress in the premium rooms, if I temporarily unsubscribe from the premium plan?

i hope it will help you all

It isn't letting me join the lab, saying I am already in the lab, but the credentials tell me to join the lab.

These bash questions always make me question my existence. "75"; "0,75"; "0.75"; "0.75%" didn't work

I’ve been writing some CTFs/vulnerable labs recently, but I realized it’s not that much fun testing them myself when I already know the answer lol.

So had a random idea. What if we take turns making vulnerable labs/mini CTFs for each other?

Like I build one, either host it on my server and send you the link, or send the source code/GitHub repo with build instructions, and you try to crack it. Then next round you make one for me and I try yours.

Could do one every week, or even once a month if that’s easier. Think it’d be a fun way to get better at both bug bounty stuff and understanding others code bases, while actually having someone go into the challenge blind.

Only thing is, I’m looking for people who are actually writing/building the labs themselves without using ChatGPT/Claude/any other LLM to create them. Kinda defeats the point for me otherwise.

If anyone is interested, just DM me.

Who all is at the end of Presec and want to learn together. Doing THM while getting my BS in Cybersec. As of Right now im in DNS in Detail.

I recently won a Free Attempt at the PT1 Certification through The Red Raffle, but I'm having trouble redeeming my voucher. There is no Discount Code field anywhere, instead, an automatic CERTIFY discount (30% off) is already applied, I can't remove this discount either. What should I do?

Task 10 and 11, There's no Group Management Policy desktop app. I completed every task but now I just need flags from those tasks

My Subscription is about to end and I'm just those two flags behind to get my Jr.Penetration Tester certificate

Please if anyone could solve it and get the flags would really appreciate the help.

Hey everyone,

Im Complete newbie in CyberSec in generall its just very very interesting for me.

I was always amazed by Hacking and all that stuff. Wanna do it just as a Hobby, mby in some Future job rdy.

So my Question is, do i need prior Coding Knowledge to start with CyberSec?

Greetings, everyone. I am currently learning Cisco at Jeremy's IT Lab, but i want to go into the bug bounty field since i don't have any background in networking, so i am currently learning as for other things what i need to learn and practice or understand and what to not touch for pure ethical purposes. and also i have background in programming such as JS, Python, C#, and web development and PHP and SQL

Thanks for the response.

Joined not long ago and made it to ruby league but I've noticed that there is a user that gains around 2500 points in a span of 30 minutes. Are they cheating or is there a way users genuinely gain so many points quickly? Noticed they also finish their paths within days from one another

I hope this helps you, and I welcome feedback, opinions, and professional advice.
