I NEED HELP HERE , PLEASE WHERE CAN I PUT THE LAPTOP CHARGER I CAN’T SEE ANY WALL OUTLET HERE .

Hey everyone!
I’m looking for a team to join for the upcoming Down It’s Showtime! CTF on TryHackMe (October 22–26).
This would be my first time participating in a CTF, so I don’t have much CTF experience yet. Honestly, I’m not sure if my skills are good enough, but I’d love to give it a try, learn from others, and contribute as much as I can.
My current cybersecurity background:
CompTIA Security+
Blue Team Level 1 (BTL1)
Microsoft SC-200
I’m more familiar with the defensive side of cybersecurity, so I’m hoping to gain some hands-on experience in a team environment, especially with SOC-related challenges.
If you have a spot for a beginner on your team, I’d be happy to join! I’m motivated to learn, collaborate, and have fun. 😄

I have taken some cyber-courses at university but I decided to start fresh on THM from the pre-security to cyber101 now, in order to land a PT job in the future. I have to tell the learning rooms are pretty easy and straight forward. On the other hand I had challenges recommended as GLA2 and Masquerade that I found extra hard based on what I learned through TMH. Should I be worried and take a slower pace or am I supposed to find them hard so I can make my own research. Does anybody have experienced something similar?

Is it normal to struggle this much while studying for the PT1?

I'm finding it hard to make consistent progress. I often have to reread the same material several times to understand it, and sometimes I still struggle to connect the concepts and move forward.

Topics like Fragnesia, NGINX Rift, and NoScope have been particularly challenging.

For those preparing for or who have already taken the PT1, did you struggle with this too? Any advice on how to study more effectively?

Unable to find this flag, already invested so much time, please help me out 🙏🏻

Anyone else feel like tryhackme has massive gaps between what they are teaching in a lesson and what the tasks expect you to know?

LIke I feel there is just massive missing gaps when its like oh we are working on telnet at this IP. Well HELLLOOOO shouldn't we have a part that goes over like doing that in the terminal? Or at least some sort of parts to prefix or youtube link. I have done Network+ and Security+ and just wanted to continue poking around and such as I have no formal training but fuck the lack of explination feels a little wild. To be a somewhat well known platform and to have such a wildly lackluster coheesive curriculum just feels weird to me. OR. I could just be a complete idiot always got to take that into consideration.

I noticed some room Challenges you need a team for completing a certain room. I’m Always riding solo and would like to join a team instead of creating one. Anyone looking for a member? If so, let me know! I’m on daily!

Good morning!
I made a badge generator for TryHackMe in pixel style with some components I have worked on this year. The previous badge generator I used was a third party that stopped working long ago and I just never got around to fixing or updating it. This one updates autonomously with GitHub Actions everyday when you set it up so you can show off your streak.

BTW if you have any suggestions on how to add more customization to the badge please let me know! That could be different types of fire animations, different themes, or something competely random. I use my own pixel tool online called Gribble for making spritesheets from gifs. Preferrably pixel art related suggestions :)

Here is the repo: https://github.com/napahlm/thm-badge-generator

Hey everyone!

I’ve published my first TryHackMe write-up, documenting my journey through the Empline room.

The room gave me hands-on practice with:

• 🔎 Port scanning and subdomain discovery
• 💥 OpenCATS Remote Code Execution (RCE)
• 🗄️ Database enumeration and password cracking
• 🐧 Linux privilege escalation using capabilities

I’ve tried to explain not just the commands I used, but also why I used them and how I understood each step.

🌐 Website blog: https://harsh-sonker.vercel.app/blogs/empline-walkthrough

This is my first attempt at documenting a room, so I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback or suggestions on how I can improve my future write-ups.

Thanks, and happy hacking! 🚩

Hello, im planning to buy tryhackme annual to learn more about cybersecurity during the holidays, but im planning on buying it during discounts to save a couple bucks.

Recently i saw the cyber awareness month discount with 30% off, but just a few hours ago when i was gonns buy it it just disappeared. Did the discount end? Im pretty sure it was supoosed to last a while longer.

Anyways if the discounts really over I'd appreciate it if anybody could tell me the next 30% discount, btw i already knoe about the black friday but even though the discount's probably gonna be bigger i don't wanna wait that long.

Thanks for taking the time to read this

Hello, I am trying to take an exam but I have a verification error that doesn't see my cam, how can I fix?

All permissions are allowed, the browser is firebox, and the ad blocker is disabled.

Edit: found the solution.

1-open the site through phone

2-you will be prompted to use desktop instead, just click on the upper right main menu and select "desktop site" (depending on your browser)

3-continue the steps and return to PC after you finish the steps

I wanted to try the "Defending Azure" path and see how the cloud environment is setup by THM so I tried the free room "KQL (Kusto): Introduction" and whenever I try to access sentinel I am faced with problems, so is this a reoccurring issue with THM or is it because it's a free room.

Just completed Linux Fundamentals (Part 1) on TryHackMe.
Learned some basic Linux commands and got more comfortable using the terminal.
Still learning, but one step forward. 🔐
