This was a great explanation. I learned about THM feom the TCM Ethical Hacking course. Done three paths on THM but taking a break (at least a break from doing it as main schoolwork) to get my eJPT.

[@jamesoreilly8115]

I'm still building a foundation with TCM, OTW, and pentest+ but these platforms are the next step in my learning. This video is fantastic.

[@crisswalter6148]

the real question is should we buy OTW or TCM courses? which ones are better

[@Mr.Ali444.]

​@@jamesoreilly8115 can u have the PDF of the course Can u send me Because, I don't have a credit card. It is a hustle to get a credit card here. It will help me alot can u share them with me. Basics of Networking by OTW I tried for pdf but didn't get it. Can u help me with that

[@jamesoreilly8115]

@@Mr.Ali444. The TCM course is broken down into video modules, there is no PDF for the course. As for the OTW content there are only 2 pdfs which I'm sure you can find online with a quick Google search, the rest of the content is in video format.

Hey So I'm Pretty Much New In the field of CyberSecurity Could anyone tell my What OTW Stands For and Also Please Link The Website also Thanks

I started with THM, completely the junior pentester path, I think I have gotten idea of basics and I am going to go for next level by trying port swigger academy and getting my hands dirty by doing bug bounty at same time. I think Just after learning basics we should actually move on to real world stuff or otherwise like me... you would be stuck in learning loop. So take the jump after learning just some basics into getting your hands dirty. Learning as we go is the best strategy in the entire Tech field..both development and pentesting

[@PurpleTeamer]

nahamsec, which is a recognized bug bounty hunter said the same. consuming endlessly learning content is not the most efficient approach to progress but instead, after learning the basis, he recommended to get the hands dirty, even with free bug bounty programs.

[@user-ms3nc4cc9w]

Got inspired by you 👍✨ it's time to get my hands dirty .

[@galak9987]

THAT'S IT!! I'm doing the same, at the moment i'm finishing the junior penetration tester but before i did all basics learning paths. When i finish i'll go to Port Swigger and at the same time, training with ctfs + bug bounty, i think if i stay just studying, studying, studying, i'll never learn how the jungle works.

[@VectorGameStudio]

Started with THM, but moved to HTB, because its focus is more technical

[@Hckr-ei2xj]

this video has really put things into perspective for me. thanks alex another great video. keep up the good work :)

[@thedevinmccarthy]

Though not exactly the same, I've been enjoying World of Haiku which is more of gamified Linux training but also has CTF challenges.

[@moizbutt119]

Hey TCM 💕

[@sathvik-R]

Love your content

[@0x3v4d3r]

As simple as that, completely agree with you

[@lalbahadurbudha6623]

Absolutely helpful :)

[@Gr33n37]

i work on all platforms, whats better with proving grounds as a beginner they don't rate me as a noob like HTB😁

[@AbdulREHMAN-co2kd]

thanks bro

[@TccRich]

I’m 34years old right now. Am I too late to learn? And still have the chance to get the job?

[@Koromose]

There's no age limit to knowledge

[@javirebeld]

You can be on your 60s and as long as you have the skills (and probably a couple of certs), you can enter the field

[@andry_neuropsy]

Age is just a number ! I'm 32 YO, i'm making a career transition too...Let's do it together

I'm 42 yrs old.

[@rangelbatista4594]

Thanks

[@Truth_Desrerves]

@Cybermentor, I have struck between which one to choose,I m working as a network security engineer and have some experience in network. can you help me to choose the right way to

[@abelchigombetatenda4757]

THM is the best,, HTB I will only consider it when I would like to go for OSCP, and the path I will take is CPTS only

[@sotecluxan4221]

[@mkowalski997]

In my opinion, offsec is a very weak platform, or at least the worst of the three presented. I definitely do not recommend this platform.

[@Newmoviez.101kviews.2hourago]

Bro, I want to learn hacking but I don't know where to start, first I should learn (linux or programming language) 😢can you tell me step by step bro👐🏻

[@wedernoch6441]

this channel has an etchical hacking in 12 hours class. this is basicly the chapter by chapter path i would also choose .. more or less. its really well made . kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH_doZZ4bLR3rrM

[@PurpleTeamer]

first would be to learn how to use google. seriously.

[@alfredoneves3976]

There is no step by step that fits all necessities of everyone but I recomend: 1) OS (Linux and Windows) THM is excelent for it and you can reas Linux Basics for hackers; 2) Networks (take a course from CISCO); 3) Programming (the language doesn't matter too much as long as you can use it); 4 ) Now you have a solid base to choose a role to follow like pentest, SOC, NOC, threat hunter, forensics, etc; 5) Whatever you choose try to understand what you are doing instead of just using tools and study how someome create the thing you are trying to break (if you choose web pentest for example learn some HTML, javascript and PHP just the basic to understand how the flaws work). Hope this will help you and avoid burnout studying 10 things at the same time.
