    Update: I had to remove the overview sections of active machines as this was a violation of HTB's Terms of Service.

    "more like a 60 day process due to laziness.. 😅" bro, I've always appreciated your honesty/trasnsparncy in your content. Been watching you since December and I can truly say you've helped me solidify my decision to get into cyber security. currently enrolled in a coding BootCamp and should be done within a month and a half. Thank you so much for documenting your journey, it feels like I'm a kid growing up watching a tv show and seeing the characters age with me

    HTB is no joke for beginners; however, you can see results with HTB academy patience and the ability to grind. I have spent hours on boxes, even with walkthroughs where I couldn't get one flag 😂 but my hands-on skills and tool knowledge upgraded vastly. My advice is Dont stop and Dont rush for flags learn as many attack vectors as possible

    I did HTB for 3 months during a summer 4 or 6 years ago. I did it after some workshops in college sparked my curiosity. It was refreshing because it's a "try-to-catch" me vibe and it's requires knowledge on the tools, operative system and networks. That was very different from software engineering / programming where it's more about building, solving problems and making decisions on a product.
    I don't see myself doing pen-testing / hacking for a job and HTB made me realize that. But it's was pretty fun to do and gave me solid basis later that I've used already on preventing some vulns on the products I worked on.

    Great video, really enjoyed. Also, very inspirational idea, I'm planning to implement 30-day routine as well.
    I agree with your recommendation for notes, that they should maybe include multiple attack paths in order to be more realistic. Regarding that, I also recommend you to watch some ipssec videos, he's kind of doing that on camera, so you could get some good ideas on what to do from him.

      Thank you for letting me know, I wasn't aware. I was wondering why I continued to see the user, root flags, and the passwords blurred out in write-ups. Hopefully this video remains in compliance with their ToS.

      @codebeta_cr ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@collinsinfosec oh yeah, and there are still people that post the writeups when they shouldn’t. Also, the user and root hashes are cycled on reboot of the box, so that’s another reason why they blur the hashes as they wouldn’t work after a reboot and won’t be accepted as valid.
