When do leagues actually reset?

2026-06-09T22:45:43+00:00

I realize leagues don’t actually matter in the grand scheme of things, but I admit I do complete an extra room or two to keep my points in the promotion zone each week. I know TryHackMe says they reset Monday at 8am UDT, but I noticed the counter seems to end at midnight UDT on Sunday.

After the counter resets, it shows 6 more days till the next league, but I’m still in the same league and can still earn points. When I wake up Monday morning I’m promoted.

When does the league actually reset? Does it go by the counter, or is the counter off?

Also, I assume there are multiple bronze, silver, gold etc leagues as no one in the promotion zone with me last week seems to be in the next league with me this week.

SOC or Pentesting: Should I specialize in one, or learn both?

2026-06-09T18:46:04+00:00

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to decide between following the SOC/Blue Team path or becoming a Pentester/Red Teamer, and I'd like to hear your opinions and experiences.

Do you think it's a good idea to start with SOC and later move into pentesting, or the other way around? Or would you recommend sticking to one path until reaching a high level of proficiency before learning the other?

The reason I'm asking is that I feel there is a strong connection between the two. To successfully attack a system, you should understand how it is built and defended. Likewise, to build and secure a system properly, it helps to know how an attacker would try to compromise it.

Another reason is career-related. It seems that pentesting offers more opportunities for freelance work or independent consulting, while SOC roles are usually tied to companies. My concern is that if someone interested in SOC can't find a job, they may end up spending all their time in a home lab without any income from their field.

Am I looking at this the right way, or is this a misconception?

I'd appreciate any advice, especially from people who have worked in either field or transitioned from one to the other.

Thanks!

How to practice?

2026-06-09T10:21:05+00:00

From a coding point I would just pick something to make and make it. But if I want to practice blue team stuff I’m not to sure where I would start.

Completing the rooms is good and I do learn but I also like to continue learning and going over certain elements but I’m not sure how to go about it for cyber security stuff. I know I could just repeat the room but that’s not what I’m looking for.

If anyone has any further advice that would be much appreciated, thanks

i copy-pasted the hash from the VM to the answer box, and this is what I'm getting. i even tried to write the hash manually character by character, and still the same error message.

this issue is in the Forensic Imaging room.

Has anyone encountered this before or knows how to fix it?

and thanks for the help in advance <3

Wrong Answer in my Recap? | Wildcard vs find for listing .txt files

2026-06-08T20:11:42+00:00

Question was:

"What command lists all .txt files in the current directory using a wildcard?"

My answer was:

ls *.txt

Apparently that's marked as wrong and the expected answer is:

find -name *.txt

Isn't that invalid syntax? Shouldn't it be:

find . -name "*.txt"

From my understanding:

'ls *.txt' and 'find . -name "*.txt"' are not equivalent.

'ls *.txt' uses shell wildcard expansion and lists '.txt' files only in the current directory.

'find . -name "*.txt"' searches for files matching a pattern and recursively traverses subdirectories.

So if the question specifically asks for a command that lists '.txt' files in the current directory using a wildcard, wouldn't 'ls *.txt' be the more accurate answer?

Just joined THM after scoring a CS scholarship—excited to kickstart my cybersecurity journey!

2026-06-07T18:52:59+00:00

Hey everyone!

I just joined TryHackMe to formally kickstart my journey into cybersecurity. I’m currently prepping to start my Computer Science degree via a scholarship at UoPeople, and my ultimate long-term goal is to dive deep into cybersecurity (specifically leaning toward forensics and AI security down the road).

I'm currently working my way through the Pre-Security learning path to build a solid foundation.

For those who started where I am now, what are your best tips for staying consistent, avoiding burnout, or maximizing the platforms' rooms? Any specific paths you'd recommend after Pre-Security?

Glad to be here and excited to learn with you all!

I finally passed SEC1! My thoughts after the exam and recommended learning

2026-06-06T20:48:08+00:00

https://preview.redd.it/pmu0q205xp5h1.png?width=786&format=png&auto=webp&s=f594e91d4eb00d96a8f61aee0890480c8998462e

After a couple of months of the voucher laying on my profile I finally decided to take the SEC1 exam (and passed it at first try!)

I wanna share some of my thoughts with you about the exam itself and maybe help you with your preparations!

Here's the exam subpage, but now to my thoughts

Overall, it's a great cert covering fundamentals of cybersecurity. You'll find there basics of every more popular field and real tasks instead of MCQs.

As the pic says - we have SOC fundamentals, Malware analysis, Brute forcing, Web pentesting and more of IT basics being Windows, Linux and Network traffic fundamentals

With each task, we get a VM and 10 questions we have to answer with its help. I did not experience any stability issues (even with windows machines) and could swiftly progress through the tasks

And even if I'd encountered some issues, VMs could always be reset

Exam differs a bit from typical THM rooms - Here, we don't get a suggestion in form of underscores, so everything is up do you (though some tasks hint the answer format)

When it comes to red team parts - you can solve them using both AttackBox and your own VM. THM provides you with a config file to connect to the exam. I did not use this feature, but It's nice is there

If we're talking about red team parts - I felt like they're more guided than blue team and quite frankly easier (even though I'm more into defensive security). It looked more like a guided pentest room than some challenge, but it still required some knowledge

And for some more technicality. In case you leave or close the tab with exam, you can always go back to it, using a link in your dashboard's profile

But now - "How should I prepare for SEC1"

Definitely go over Pre security and Cybersecurity 101 paths on TryHackMe. They are an absolute must and have everything you need for the exam.
You should also make good notes of the rooms (Especially on tools), since forgetting an nmap switch or where windows hid user data is not uncommon

If you feel like those 2 paths are not enough, and need some more preparation - look for guided challenges on TryHackMe.

For pentesting parts, I personally recommend Offensive Security path - You don't have to do it all, easy/medium boxes are more than enough (especially since SEC1 doesn't include any privilege escalation). As I said, guided boxes are pretty similar to some sections of the exam
https://tryhackme.com/path/outline/pentesting

When it comes to linux and windows - THM has some nice challenges to brush up on those skills. My personal picks would be
https://tryhackme.com/room/ninjaskills
https://tryhackme.com/room/disgruntled
https://tryhackme.com/room/investigatingwindows

And if we're talking about defensive security - those are some of the rooms I'd complete
https://tryhackme.com/room/invite-only
https://tryhackme.com/room/confidential
https://tryhackme.com/room/shadowtrace

Most of them are more difficult than the exam though. If you can complete them, you'll for sure blast through SEC1 and even if some are a bit challenging, you still have chance for a high result!

Next, I plan on passing SAL1 exam, so I guess good luck to me and all of you passing SEC1 in the future

If you have any questions, just ask them in the comments. I'll try to answer every single one and in the mean time here's my profile with newly added cert
