Hi Discord Community!
We wanted to take a moment to give a big shout-out and heartfelt thank you to our amazing moderator @river crown ποΈ
Their patience, and hard work in managing our community is what make this Discord server a helpful and friendly place for everyone. From answering questions to ensuring that discussions remain positive and constructive, their efforts have been truly invaluable. πΌπ
Here's to many more successful day, months and years of learning, sharing, and growing together in the world of cybersecurity! ππ»
From now on please reach out directly to @mystic locust for anything you need help with, from ban appeals to sponsorship requests I'll handle it until we find the next person to take this role long-term.
Stay safe and keep hacking!
Thank you
Hey π the TryHackMe bot will be going down for approximately an hour to perform some routine maintenance (aka we must keep the bots happy while they're on our side!)
This means that the commands will be unavailable during this time (such as !verify, !docs, !vpn, etc). I'll update this message once it is back online. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Update: The bot is back up and running. A problem was noticed during maintenance where the !crack feature for cracking hashes has been causing the bot to get stuck in some circumstances. For the time being, I've disabled the !crack feature while I can pin-point the cause.
Hi everyone. It's ben a bit since we've done this but please welcome our two new Community Mentors @eternal laurel and @spring hornet. You all know them, they've been around for a while now and always have a word of advice for those who need it.
Hi everyone π ! We're looking at new ways to support our amazing community of learners and I'd love to invite you to participate in a short survey to share any ideas you have. Thanks a bunch!! https://form.typeform.com/to/i0GhGctU
Hi everyone π
π₯Β IMPORTANT COMMUNITY UPDATE π₯
Room release days are always exciting, but this one is particularly exciting because the room weβre launching came from a member of our community: @visual pond .
We asked 0utc4s7 for a few comments about the room itself:
βWhat inspired me was that I was developing a web application and made the mistake of making the cookie easy to guess, which made it vulnerable to session hijacking. So I decided to create a room that features this vulnerability to spread awareness that this vulnerability still exists and you may encounter it in one way or another.β
Join us in congratulating 0utc4s7 for a great room.
Are you up for the challenge? Have a go for yourself: https://tryhackme.com/jr/hijack
(Dedicated channel for this room: #1164986895453921373 )
For those of you interested in creating your own room, 0utc4s7 has some words of wisdom:
βDeveloping a room is not as hard as you may imagine it, and it provides a very good opportunity to learn a lot of topics with trial and error.β
Develop your own public or private rooms at this link: https://tryhackme.com/develop-rooms
Happy hacking! <@&648695657326182420>
π₯ COMMUNITY UPDATE - NEW CHALLENGE ROOM π₯
Another Friday room release from a member of the community! π ππ
It is so much fun getting to see these projects go from idea to reality - if you're already feeling the post-Halloween blues, this one will bring the magic back: https://tryhackme.com/room/dockmagic
Check out the dedicated channel at #1170075350307442779 to say well done on another incredible community release <@&648695657326182420>
π€ IMPORTANT BOT UPDATE π€
Hello hackers!
As you may know, we use a Discord bot in the TryHackMe server.
We have migrated to a new programming language so there are some changes we would like to inform you about.
Most important change is we are no longer using !chat commands. We now use application commands, more commonly known as 'slash commands'.
- To interact with the bot, type / in chat and select the Discord bot from the list.
- From there, select the command you would like to use
Along with this change, there will be stripped functionality. Functionality available so far is:
- /verify
- /rank
- /socials
- /notifyme
- /help
π₯ COMMUNITY CHALLENGE ROOM SPOTLIGHT π₯
We are SO CLOSE to Advent of Cyber βοΈΒ β¦
β¦ BUT weβre not through with November just yet!
@hard kelp drew inspiration from the Sandman comics for this wonderful community challenge room: βDreamingβ π
βThe initial idea was to make a CTF room with a Sandman theme and also create a fun box to exploit.β
How fun? Find out for yourself: https://tryhackme.com/room/dreaming
Please join us in congratulating Bido on another excellent room sourced from our talented community of room builders. Dedicated channel here: #1175148728785588284
If youβre unsure of where to begin creating your own room, Bido encourages you to get started right away: βDo it! It's very exciting to learn how to configure things purposely vulnerable and see other people trying to exploit it.β

π₯ COMMUNITY CHALLENGE ROOM SPOTLIGHT π₯
Happy Friday everyone! If you're looking to get in some practice over the weekend, take a look at @whole moon 's challenge room, 'Kitty.'
We asked Ahh-dree-ahh-nn what the inspiration was for the room:
"Coming from a musical background, I found building rooms is no different than writing a composition. They both can tell a story and give you a sneak peek into the mind of a person. Learning how to create rooms has also made me a better attacker as well as a defender."
And he has some great advice for aspiring challenge room creators!
"With every room that you solve, take the time to explore the inner workings of the room and how a creator was able to build it. You will learn a lot from this process and the methodologies will stick with you when it comes to building your own room."
Thanks very much for the contribution @whole moon , and I hope you all enjoy 'Kitty' π

The bot is back online, you can now verify again!
We have recently launched a new #research channel.

Hey π
We have made an update to our advertisement community guideline, check it out!
π https://tryhackme.notion.site/Advertising-5a34eace01a74169b37986bc67164aca
Hey everyone π
Sorry for the inconvenience, the TryHackMe bot is experiencing problems with verifying users at the moment.
Hey everyone π
Weβve been reviewing recent feedback to ensure the best experience for the community. As part of this, weβre making some adjustments and providing internal guidance where needed.
We appreciate those who have shared their thoughts and want to assure you that weβre taking action to improve moderation and community interactions.
If you have any further feedback, feel free to share it through the appropriate channels or drop me a DM.
Thank you all for making this community amazing! π
We've heard your feedback and understand the need for a more reliable way to report users violating server rules. To improve communication and moderation, weβre introducing the /report command.
How It Works:
You can use either of the following commands:
- </report message:1348321561517625404> β Report a specific message that breaks the rules.
- </report user:1348321561517625404> β Report a user directly if their behaviour is concerning.
What Happens Next?
When you submit a report, the bot will notify our moderation team.
- Reports can be made from any channel.
- Reasons are limited to 200 characters, avoid inserting links in this field, as moderators will not click on them.
- Reports are hidden. The reported user will not know when a report is submitted.
- There is a cooldown of 10 minutes per report to prevent spam.
Important Notes:
- This is NOT a ticketing system. Reports do not guarantee an immediate response or action.
- Moderators will review all reports, but not all reports will result in action, and not all actions will be publicly visible.
- Misuse of the report system, such as false reports, may result in consequences.
- You must be verified to use the report command.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
Hey everyone, just a very small update.
If you have been reporting messages, thank you! You may have encountered a problem with /report message, this has been resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Hey everyone π
We are happy to announce that we have three new trial moderators!
- @eternal laurel
- @dapper cave
- @timid field
If you see them around be sure to say hello π
They will have a trial period before they become full moderators - as usual!
Hey everyone!
Our report command is down for some temporary maintenance - I apologise for this inconvenience.
Please feel free to ping me or any active Moderators during this downtime.
I will update everyone when it is back, thanks π
We have archived the following channels now that the paths has been retired:
- introduction-to-cyber-security-path
- complete-beginnner-path
- cyber-defense-path
You can read more information about this change here.
Hey everyone,
Thank you all for your patience, the report command is now back!
- /report message β Report a specific message that breaks the rules.
- /report user β Report a user directly if their behaviour is concerning.
Please make sure to use the "TryModerateMe" bot when trying to use the command.
Quick Reminder:
- This is not a ticketing system. Reports do not guarantee an immediate response or action.
- Moderators will review all reports, but not all reports will result in action, and not all actions will be publicly visible.
- Misuse of the report system, such as false reports, may result in consequences.
- You must be verified to use the report command.
Hey @everyone,
Weβre making some exciting changes to the TryHackMe community teams!

If you're already active on Reddit and enjoy:
β’ Helping others find the right learning resources
β’ Sharing your experience with TryHackMe rooms and paths
β’ Being part of cyber security discussions on subs like r/cybersecurity, r/AskNetsec, r/Pentesting

π Direct access to the TryHackMe team
π© **Apply here! **https://tryhackme-ambassadors.netlify.app/
We're excited to grow this community with you π
π Thanks to everyone who applied for the Reddit Ambassador Program!

<@&723526134356115536> Do you have an artistic streak? π
As a partnered server, we have a large number of custom sticker slots available to us, but we don't have any stickers yet!
To help kick things off, we are having a competition to design the very first TryHackMe server stickers!
The first three stickers added to the server will be submissions from the community.
Stickers can be animated (APNG or Lottie formats), or static (PNG) .
Please send all submissions to: muiri+stickers@tryhackme.com
The best three (selected by our wonderful community staff team) will be added to the server when the competition ends in two weeks. Happy drawing!

<t:1643479200>
Hello everyone. This Saturday, @hollow maple will be presenting a Community Event in the Events-VC voice chat.
The topic will be: "Email Header Analysis: Finding Evil In Your Inbox"
E-mail is the primary vector for malware infections and other garden variety scams that target everyday folks and enterprises alike. In this talk, Droogy will break down the main source of metadata for e-mails; known as e-mail headers. We'll talk about the standards defining headers, how to view them in different clients, and how to analyze an e-mail header for forensic purposes. The talk will close out with a small case-study encountered in a real SOC (Security Operations Center) and a distribution of some actual malicious e-mails (scrubbed and de-fanged) for attendees to analyze.
