Something interesting would be for example curvature of spacetime in general relativity - when a smaller mass passes near a larger mass, it curves toward the larger mass because spacetime itself is curved toward the larger mass. The smaller mass is not "attracted" to the larger mass by any force. The smaller mass simply follows the structure of curved spacetime near the larger mass.

# rugged halo Ooh now i know, so I need to get certifications

technically you dont need them, unless you're going into government work (they have a list of approved baseline certifications) but they are also a way to show your experience. There's trainings you can get which will give you little badges of completion (such as Cisco's Cybersecurity Analyst Career Path) but they don't hold as much weight (i'd argue a bit of gatekeeping, but im cynical by nature lol). But if you're a hobbyist like I was, free trainings (or paid) are great ways to fill in knowledge gaps.

Good morning!

I know things haven’t been easy. You’ve had to push through doubts, setbacks, and moments where giving up felt like the easier option. But you’re still here. Still standing. Still fighting for the life you want. And that says everything about your strength.

Every morning is a fresh start a chance to remind yourself what you’re capable of. Even if progress feels slow, even if the path isn’t clear, just keep moving. Every small effort adds up, and every step forward is shaping the future you deserve.

You’ve come too far to stop now. Keep pushing. Keep believing. You got this.

# halcyon dune I just have a question: is it possible to be a cyber security expert just using ...

Solely using the content on TryHackMe? Probably not.
You should always supplement your learning with other resources. Especially as TryHackMe might not go into the same depth on all topics.

Furthermore, it depends on what you define as an "expert". Cybersecurity is a massive field and I would say that you are an expert even if you only work in one area. However, you probably won't become an expert if you aren't actively working and studying in that area daily.

Hopefully one day it will be a repository full of information to cover all areas 😊

mossy river
# rapid merlin what you think is it enough for basic ?

I wouldn't be able to give you an exact answer on that.
Especially if you are looking for blue team because it's not really my area 😅

I'd usually say something on the lines of networking and at least a fundamental understanding of Windows and Linux

What constitutes a threat in Any.Run?

mossy river
# halcyon dune Thanks, by expert I meant, being able to protect my websites

Uhh, well, for websites you probably will learn what you need to know on TryHackMe.

A lot of your knowledge will come from learning programming itself as you will learn secure coding practices, and when you setup your website if you're hosting it on a platform it will likely tell you the security features during your onboarding.

Most of your learning, just as in anything, will be hands-on experience and solving problems when they occur. If you do TryHackMe courses and pentest our labs, you will learn what to look out for but majority of it might not be applicable to your setup which is perfectly fine.

I don't know a lot of website devs who have completed security courses outside of the ones within the courses they use for their websites.
I'm not really knowledgeable in the area however as I'm not a website developer so take this with a pinch of salt

Someone else in a different room said it best, me thinks. To paraphrase, understanding how things work will enable you to be an effective Red Teamer. In the case of "Red teaming" vs "Blue teaming", you have to have an understanding of how things work on both ends in order to be able to do your job well.

You will learn both areas regardless of which field you choose, it's just the depth that you will go into that area won't be as much.
Best method is to learn both; whether you do that at the same time, or you learn one field first and then learn the other field.

I.e. I learn how to attack a website, and then I learn how to defend a website.
Or, I learn how to do a particular technique (such as LFI) and then I learn how to stop LFI.

#

Purple is the best of both worlds because not only do you know how to attack something but you also know how to think like a defender which means you have better evasion.

plain tartan
#

I wholeheartedly believe that you can't effectively protect what you don't understand.

rapid merlin
#

so what if someone skip the defence completely ?

plain tartan
#

You would have to have some understanding of how defenses work still in order to break/evade them.

mossy river
blissful current
#

you will go thru it even in red teaming to understand the attacking procedure and about the vulns ...and absence of what is causing it etc, so ...yeah its not getting skipped anyways

rapid merlin
#

then why their's segments then when eveyone are in purple teaming

#

@mossy river

mossy river
#

Depth

rapid merlin
#

so basics is enough?

blissful current
#

i would say yeah

mossy river
#

Basics is fine

rapid merlin
#

fine not enough

mossy river
#

but if you truly want to master it, you should aim for both

#

Especially because you can't really tell people what's wrong with a system but no be able to tell them how to defend against it

rapid merlin
#

what if i do basic in blue first then expert in red and hop back into blue if i want furthur learning

mossy river

That works

I would say the SAL1 exam was extremely fun. Most of the information covered was definitely covered by CYSA as well but there was a large portion that dug into specifics on the THM training rooms.

The simulation felt very comfortable as it combined both knowledge and instinct based on that knowledge. I enjoyed it.

yes

the exam includes 1 retake

Hmm,
So its buy 1 one and get one free ? (Attempt? ?

#

Passing score: 750/1000
Duration: 24 hours
Difficulty: Beginner
Prerequisites: None, but we offer recommended learning paths.
Requirements: You must have a valid ID/passport
Attempts: 1 free retake (further retakes cost £100)
Language: English

#

@sour basalt

sour basalt
#

yes

#

when you pay for the exam you get 2 attempts total

if you fail both, its 100 pounds for each new attempt

what knowledges do u need before entering cyber security

sour basalt

I mean I hope so

but if you have CySA+ you need to pass that exam with flying colors

mellow narwhal
#

CPTS seems better than OSCP in terms of time constraints

#

and I've heard people say that the content is better

sour basalt
#

Still, if someone has no prior knowledge to CyberSec and you throw a 90 page report to fill out at their face

untold coyote
#

i meant like in the i.t industry

sour basalt
#

They are most likely going to shit their pants first and panic

#

Atleast that is what happened to me 😂

mellow narwhal
#

no prior knowledge should likely not be touching CPTS lol

#

maybe something like A+ or maybe Sec+ or something

#

you need practical experience for that one

same device with different os?

loud marlin

no. arch is asus zenbook. kali is lenovo yoga

best bet is drivers on the interface for teh NIC could be the difference. Could also be cacheing on the ISP network

loud marlin
#

can it be up to wifi chip ?

whole yew
#

wait, both devices are on a 5ghz wifi or cell?

#

speed 100% depends on the wifi protocol used by the network

loud marlin

depends on how many devices are active on the network. the new wireless routers will balance speed for active devices

loud marlin
#

hmm... any advice

polar spoke
#

but 450 sounds like a common wifi limit

loud marlin
polar spoke
#

technically 433

#

is the common limit iirc

#

but still

#

its close

#

could be 450 in n

loud marlin
#

on kali i got 1k upload. all same network and so

polar spoke
#

right

#

so

#

if you want to see 1Gbps speeds out of wifi

#

you need either wider channel support, mi-mo, or both

#

technically you need both actually, looking at the ac specs

#

you can hit 866 on 1x 160MHz channel so not quite gigabit

loud marlin
polar spoke
#

are those AP settings?

loud marlin
polar spoke
#

i see AX present there but both sides need AX for that operating mode to be used

loud marlin
#

yes

polar spoke
#

ok, so the AP is capable of AX

whole yew
polar spoke
#

is the client?

loud marlin
#

that is router settings flint2

polar spoke
#

(client support for AX is still barely becoming available fyi)

whole yew
#

my bet is drivers, somehow. cause it's always drivers

polar spoke
whole yew
#

that's still handled by the kernel modules though, isn't it?

polar spoke
#

settings the right negotiation strategy can be tough and some systems do it better by default

#

its user configurable usually

loud marlin
#

even if i put AC same result on kali and arch

polar spoke
#

even windows lets you configure it

polar spoke
#

the router can be set to whatever and it will negotiate down usually

#

but the client needs to be setup to handle 160MHz channels and MI-MO

whole yew
#

yeah. opensource drivers can be very good, but if you to get maximum performance you may have to do some recompiling. i've had previous wifi drivers say they support a setting but be disabled in code.

polar spoke
#

that's annoying

loud marlin
polar spoke
#

hmm

#

need adapter settings

whole yew
#

supposedly nmtui is just as good as nmcli..... but i'd still recommend looking at nmcli to set some of those things

loud marlin
polar spoke
#

closer but still not quite what we need to know about the adapter

#

one sec

loud marlin
#

iw list should give us capabilities, including what is and is not enabled by the current driver

loud marlin
