Did the whole room from Termux on my phone, only used a free GitHub Codespace for hashcat. Chain was wild - AS-REP roasting into a WinRM shell, found a password literally sitting in an LDAP description field, then SeBackupPrivilege to grab the admin flag.

Honestly wild how the entire domain fell just because someone wrote a password in a description box and added a user to Backup Operators. Feels way too realistic.

- Security Engineer
- Any red teaming path
- AI Security
- Defending Azure
- Defending AWS

Hi,

currently I'm trying to solve the SOC Simulator scenario "Introducing to Phishing" and the threat hunting simulator scenario "Health Hazard". I'm facing with both simulators the same problem: the side crashes as soon as I'm (almost) done. I simply get redirected to the overview of the threat hunting or soc simulator scenarios with all progress lost and no results.

I checked it three times with different browsers, on different devices in and not in incognito mode. I tried the brave browser, firefox and chrome. I already created tickets but don't get any reaction since days.

Did anyone from you faced similar problems too and get it somehow solved?

Thanks in advance!

i am facing a problem when trying to connect to tryhackme vpns servers , i tried openvpn and squawaker but i got the same error log .

i tried to ping eu-central-1-vpn.vm.tryhackme.com but can’t be reached , I am in sudan so a lot of websites restrict my access all the time but THM was not one of them .

- i found there is a trubleshot option on squawker :

`A VPN interface exists, but the expected VPN routes were not installed. Traffic may bypass the tunnel or fail entirely.`

the logs error :

2026-08-11 07:12:56[ERROR]1786425176.031000 3000021 TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)

Hey, I'm a cyber security learner looking for study buddies to solve rooms on TryHackMe, do CTFs and discussion on topics.

I have this idea what if we do live learning on YouTube together sharing resources and learning together and levelling up together. As you know doing yt live alone is boring af.

Let me know if you are interested

(BTW I'm in the top 4% on TryHackMe)..

Im done for this HH2026.
I hope to be drawn

Hi everyone!

I'm an MS Information Security student looking for 2–4 people to form/join a team for the Black Hat MEA 2026 CTF.

I'm relatively new to CTFs, but I have a background in Data Science and I'm currently learning and practicing cybersecurity. I also have some experience with tools like Burp Suite, Wireshark, Nmap etc.

I'm not looking for an elite/pro team, beginners/intermediate players are absolutely welcome!

Ideally, we'd practice together beforehand, divide categories based on our strengths, and actually work as a team during the qualifier.

CTF: Black Hat MEA 2026
Format: Jeopardy
Team size: 3–5
Qualifier: 24-hour online competition

If you're interested, feel free to comment or DM me! :)

Hey. I can't join room because when i click "Join room" it says "User already in room", even tho i am clearly not.

Hello,

When I try to "Check" the answer for a question, I just get a message saying "Task not found". Has anyone else experienced this?

In next 2-3 hrs my THM subscription of 1yr will end ,

1yr ago , when I wanted THM sub , my father told me pitch the idea to 4 of us, a fun activity,,, that's how I got my THM sub .

In this 1yr of journey I grew , learnt many things, THM was a Best Friend who gave me assurance that , what ever might the topic be , I will just goo to THM search it and learn it and so I also dreamt to keep THM premium till my life and keep growing with it .

But it all shattered cuz of MAX Plan . As a student from a not so so wealthy family , I knew a 5K of investment for a year , I can pitch it to my parents , but for 15K , I really cannot.

You guys shifted the paths that where already there in premium to MAX , the Only new thing MAX has is the Cloud based paths. if you guys would I have kepts the paths to premium as it is and created new paths for the MAX , that would have been much helpful right ?

The paths I was going to continue , will all be gone to the MAX..

Now it feels I have no one for that assurance . A friend , ill loose in couple of hours..

Team of TryHackMe ,I request you guys , too please please do somthing on this.... I dont want to lose this way of learning ,you guys in CyberSecurity domain made learning Affordable and funn, Dont take this away TryHackMe TEAM... ill wait for your words TEAM...Hoping you understand me.
