    Thank you for uploading these. I’m a beginner student and it feels like every pen tester/ hacker comes off as arrogant (at least the ones I’ve met or seen) and I’m just intimidated to ask questions because I feel stupid for asking basic stuff. Thanks for being motivating and encouraging people to learn. This is my passion and I want to learn all I can. Keep up the amazing videos brother👍🏼

    Tip: Try every question on a CTF regardless of its points. Sometimes you may get discouraged by looking at high points questions but they are either super simple or super complex yet cool and fun

    As a beginner, I find it hard to look for topics to learn. I don't even recognize the terms used in a writeup. But I am learning slowly. Thanks for the good advice. I have found two people so far in youtube from whom I enjoy learning. You are one of them.

    50% of the CTFs I've not completed...is a result of me not following the \"one\" idea I had before giving up and looking for the write up.
    So I appreciate you pointing out that you should try and include everyone you think and do during the CTF.

      The basic skills for participating in a ctf is being able to use google. No really though, if you are a beginner who has minimal knowledge about hacking/doing ctfs the best u can do is to just find one or two challenges and not focus on getting the flag but more on the process of how u tried solving it. A lot of times hacking means doing intensive research and acquiring new skills to use them to your advantage.
      Try solving a few picoCTF challenges, that's a good start.

      Have you managed to successfully cap any flags in the 11 months since you commented this? If you're still looking for ways to get into this for a complete beginner (which I pretty much am too,) I've been watching bunch of his videos, learning some more coding in general (you can have fun making some little software or arduino or some kinda projects in the process, and that will help improve your hacking intuition too), and if you want a CTF that has some *really* easy beginner problems with lots of write ups and a primer document to read along side it, I'd recommend picoCTF.

    if anyone can help ..... I started playing the Bandit Wargame by Overthewire. I reached Bandit Level 12 → Level 13 after repeatedly reading the Level Goal, man page of suggested commands, scratching my head alot and with some time spending on reading the writeups. but after this level i.e from Bandit Level 13 → Level 14 I just lost the track (this is where the tools such as netcat, nmap got introduced). Even after reading the writeups Im find it hard to really understand the concept. if anyone reading this I hope that you could tell me what did I miss ? I mean what topics should I look into to get getter from here. Thanks

    Hello !
    I do not have enough time to spend 2 hours on a ctf .. so I try to solve challenges on www.root-me.org regularly and when I have no idea how to do I'm stuck and finally I give up and I move on to another challenge. I do not think it's very constructive to give up on these things because it's precisely on these challenges that I'm supposed to learn the most. How could I still learn from these challenges? Asking for the answer directly does not seem to be a very good solution, and when I ask for help on the root-me irc, even when I just ask a little help to know a little better what to do without give me the answer, at the slightest hint I know what to do next as if I had been given the answer (I mean that I almost feel that I get too big a hint and that it is ultimately not constructive at all for me).
