TryHackMe - Modules

Going through some TryHackMe modules which have been fun doses of information on a variety of topics. On the free tier I'm only able to complete the basic modules, having said that though, it's been fun and informative. These are the ones I have completed so far, most of them come with exercises of different kinds, involving practical processes (on remote servers). All of them have been fun.

Nessus:

Great modules, walking through installation and basic use of Nessus. This program was new to me and it looks great, is easy to use and very intuitive. I'm now wondering if it's worth investing time in learning more about Nessus or sticking to trying to master things like Nmap to do all my scanning since that's been the preferred way so far. Either way, great course.

Walking An Application:

Great course, this one was very involved and even though it was an enumeration process, it was set up in a way that I haven't experienced yet. Basic information but a very clever and fun course. I'm not sure how 'real-life' this scenario is, but it was certainly a good one.

Nmap Live Host Discovery:

Much like the introductory module at HTB, this NMAP course went over the basic use for enumeration. It talked about switches, vulnerability scanning, ports and how NMAP interacts with them. It was a great overview course with some practical questions as well.

Introductory Researching:

The more modules, courses and labs I do, the more I realize that research is key to finding a way through, whether it's new CVEs, new methods, new tools, skilling up or just plain and simpley; learning something new - Research is a must. This module walks the user through the best approach to take when looking for that step forward. It was a fun little module and unlike any, I've undertaken so far.

Intro to Offensive Security:

As the title suggests this is a breakdown of what offensive security involves, and how it can be used to help individuals or businesses keep safe. It also outlines the ethical use of these skills.

Linux Fundamentals: Part 1

It was very similar to the HTB introductory course to Linux, which isn't a bad thing. It was a refresher from what I've been over. It discusses all of the basic Linux tools, inner workings, defaults, commands, etc. Definitely worth completing if you're starting in Linux as I am.
