thank you so much very well done i would be willing to donate a one time amount to help you out if there was a option for that. But the monthly sub, just is not for me. I think your missing out not having a simple tip button / send a one time custom payment on patreon if that's possible. just saying
@@ghost31313 I will try to find a way to do that! I know Patreon let's people donate but not sure how it works. I appreciate the suggestion and great feedback !
I keep getting permission denied when trying to login using ssh, can you assist? or anyone
@@dominicj you can hop in the discord and we can work on troubleshooting where your getting caught up
@@stuffy24 thanks i will join the discor 4 sure, but i was typing an underscore in uname instead of dash .....smh
Usually don't comment on videos but I have to say, the comment you made around the 36:45 mark about not having to memorize everything is some of the best advice out there. Really takes a weight off of your shoulders when you're just starting out 👍
Thank you man! Really appreciate it and think it's important to focus on learning the knowledge not memorize things at your fingertips
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am a total noob to Linux. So when they give you the lesson and explain commands but ask you questions that are totally not relating is very hard. Thank you for explaining the process you go through to get the answers.
Thank you for the support!

Thank you for being one of the few people to make a fundamental tutorial.
Thank you!
Great video for those of us struggling to learn Linux on our own. I was struggling as I worked thru the HTB Academy Linux Fundamentals course and was so thankful when I found this. Please go thru some more of HTB Academy free courses. Thanks again!
Thank you! I will continue doing them!
Thank you so much for this video. Things got a lot clearer
Very happy to help!
Very clear guide and walkthrough. Started my Cybersecurity journey month ago love your stuff!
Appreciate that!
Thank you for the walkthrough that you do. You're very informative and comprehensive. It's just like you said it's just the logistics of it.i know a lot of it but there's just some little things I need to remember and your a big help with that..thank you
I'm glad it helped!
you made the work flow easier. i listen as if its a lecture while reading. then I pause to answer the quizes. Thanks for this.
Thank you! I like that idea!
thank you for making it possible to have a more in-depth learning experience that you took time to share , much love and happy hacking
Thank you!
This is amazing 👏 I was stucked with this module for ages.
Thank you
This video has been far more helpful than anything else I've watched. Thank you
Thank you so much! What other hack the box tutorial would you like to see?
@@stuffy24 I’m not too sure yet, from here I’m completing the rest of the information security foundation before moving on to the pen test cert. I’d happily watch anything you put out as you break it down so well!
Hey brother!! Was very much impressed earlier with your THM module videos!! Thanks a lot for all ur HTB content!! Waiting for all the modules to come🥳🥳🥳
Thank you!!
Thanks for breaking it all down, its been a huge help in learning!
Awesome to hear
Thanks for the help mate! Since I'm pretty new on this, I have to say that I would be literally lost if it wasn't for your video. Thanks again!
Thanks for the support!
i was waiting for HTB academy. keep up the good work bro
They will be longer videos since there is more to cover but hopefully they will help people!
this is a good video. I really like the last part for curl I was having a hard time getting this one. I kept getting the 37 and couldn't figure out that I needed to "manually" look and figure out that there was still dups in there.
🤘
Thanks so much for the video! It really helped!
dude i almost stop this module and skip it Couse it really ask dump Q not related to what just i read
Agreed
It's not dump dear ..
If they gave you upon what you read... Whats point in studying
They give something related to learning and remaining all research google
@@chrism6446 firstly prepare notes ..
Then solve problems aciidingly
Don't judge practical is purely on lesson
The overall goal is to finish and get familiar with all topics

37:00 THANK YOU!! I was soooo afraid to "I don't know all the commands" and I was thinking I'm happy to do the research to do "X".
Absolutely thank you,n
I'm gonna watch this whole thing, but I'm here bcuz one of the questions: what is the path for the mail directory? I don't see a mail directory so...I'm here
Appreciate your support!
Hello! I am from Russia and we do not have such training videos on the platform. I wanted to thank you for helping me through this course with a detailed explanation.
Wanted to complete you. Now the course has been expanded, new sections have appeared. The course was supplemented with this: "System Management"
Thank you for the support
You are awsome bro please continue with such videos for hack the box
Thank you! I plan on it!
Thank you for creating this video
Thank you for the support
thanks man!
you helped a lot!
because I must say, as a complete rookie, some stuff was very unclear for me
Great video! Please add timestamps for the different modules! You've gained a student subscriber for sure!
Legend ! Thanks for the help
Thank you!
Very good video!
I was a little frustrated at the question "what is the home directory of the user", because a legitimate answer should be "/home" That's always the "home directory"! In 1999, I got a Debian 2.0 CD, the first bootable Linux CD (you had to boot from floppy and copy CD content to hard drive before that. -Years before the image got put on the internet, so yes, the internet image is going to be 2007, not 98 or 99. Also the m68k version came out much later than i386) This is a clumsy mistake, probably not a big deal for 99% of users, but it makes me question if I want to spend money on the more advanced courses. PS I corrected school standardized school exams as a seasonal job, this is the kind of thing we'd give credit to students for a poorly worded exam question.
Appreciate the insight!
thanks a million. Dale Got Hulk Hands!
the point of the cubes is "gamifying" the exam, exactly the same way games, especially smartphone games, are made addictive for users. You might think it's messed up as a professional exam price, but it is "state of the art" way to maximize income, especially as many of their students will probably never work professionally in computer security, (yes bug-hunting is a possibility, but that's usually not a decent income) It also let's people try without putting too much money up front, which I appreciate. I don't like it as an entire certification price structure, but it's not just a choice they've made by "mistake". It's very deliberate.
I've talked about that specifically in my videos. I know it's very intentional. That's what I don't agree with. They don't care a lit progressing the profession they care about profit.
Thanks for this
HTB academy really needs to fix this. The instance that is spun up on the browser page, after ssh into it, gives totally different version and working directories... Which means the answers are technically wrong on the page.
Hopefully they are updating these issues.
thank god he made a video
Thank you Very helpful
Thank you! If you ever have any questions please feel free to hop on the discord
Great Vid!
Appreciate it!
Great Video
Thanks!
awesome . please make videos for other modules also
I'm trying to work with htb so I can!
Outstanding work. This was a great instructional on Linux, but the "Filters" page was a buzz-kill. If not for this video, I'd still be wracking my brain, which takes away from the instruction material and the lesson to learn.
Thank you!
i think crystal modules are hard but it is worth it if you come back and do revision. at first its difficult linux fundamentals but as you go across the content you just go along with the flow
I would somewhat agree with you to break them down into smaller sections basically but HTB is not for people who just started and its by design i would guess.
Can you make video on Introduction to networking from Hack The Box
Please make it
If it's tier 0 I can
@@stuffy24 I don't really know what is tier in this. I am new
If you check it and try to make a video with an explanation it will mean a lot to me because I don't totally understand while reading if someone explains it to me it helps a lot.
I have watched your other hack the box video I like it that's why I am asking for your help so if you can please try.
Thank you 💖🙃.
@talhakhatib9514 I understand and appreciate it but hack the box bans people if they make a video on anything other than tier 0
@@stuffy24 okk bro check if it's possible then try.
I follow your vids as im reading the modules under the navigation module i get a different index number for "Sudoers" using ls /etc -ia .... i get index numbers starting 13 instead of 14
Most likely it's changed since this video was released
@@stuffy24 thank you for your response. I figure it out, i was just not logged in as the htb-student using SSH. Right after that i printed the index numbers and gave me a whole new set of digits. Thanks again and keep up the great content man.
im confused, do i have to download vmware and open htb academy/linux through that? when im using htb and spawn the instance i cant access mozilla (it wont load) and im having trouble logging in ssh. im brand new to this im defintely missing something ...
I would read through there how to access to fully understand but I would say do tryhackme until your more comfortable with it. It's much more friendly
@@stuffy24 🙏🏼 thank you, I’ll give it a try.
At 22:33 why "sudo" isn't a good answer? I think I don't even understand the question properly. At the list above it says: sudo = Execute command as a different user. I'm confused.
Sudo gives admin privileges. su is switch user. They are different commands. They are asking what you need to use with su to run commands as a different user. So for instance su otheruser --command whoami would run the whoami command as otheruser and not you. Does that make sense?
@@stuffy24 Yeah. Thank you. I will follow this video. Not easy. :D
the problem is that the machines on htb got update and almost everything changed on the courses but the answers are the old ones like these in youre vid. i followed you setp by step and put in what i got but it was false
I think the HTB academy is a little weird at times. a lot of lessons like the listening on the target system at 1:07:46 is never talked about on my academy it never mentioned at any point about netstat or what IPv4 is or how to use ps. I think they change all of the educational teachings and keep the questions even when they get rid of certain modules.
That actually would make a lot of sense as to why you see that!
Completely agree. Feels a little frustrating to hit that question and when I search forums for help, there are things talking about netstat and ss that I haven't seen mentioned at all in the lessons. I don't mind solving a problem, but it's hard to wrap my head around why we're using something that I haven't seen yet or how I would have known to use that at all - if I hadn't looked it up.
@@Over_Xelis agreed this is why I don't use HTB as much as tryhackme for videos Because it feels like they are still working out kinks unfortunately!
what software you downloaded to open the terminal without having to start the instance?
I did start the instance. I just used my personal machine to ssh to it
Great content, one question because i have some issue with the HTB Academy, i run a VM with Kali Linux installed, i can download the OpenVPN file, but i have issue when try to connect via ssh with the user and pass. It is because of Kali Linux ? Do i need to run the Parrot Linux ? don't want to recognize the password. Don't know what I'm doin wrong
I'm very new in this field, sorry
Kali Linux should work. I just use parrot bc I like it better. If you hop in the discord we can probably trouble shoot it with screenshots
@@stuffy24 Hi I just got the same issue, I put ssh command with user@ip_addres and nothing happens, I'm on kali, openvpn works, and ping ip_addres works fine, any solution?
I tried with TPC and not with UPD (eu-academy-1) and it worked, thanks.
Before I was with UPD (eu-academy-2) in case someone needs it.
@@sullivanmartin3149 hmmm, great great, it’s work also for me, thanks guy’s
I can't get passed the password part on the ssh ip. Not sure if I am even using the right ip address. Is there an active chat group?
be careful with the password set up, you'll be typing in but won't see it
Yes the discord use the #questions
hi, can you help me how to get ip address used to connect to ssh? am stack at that
Hop in the discord and put under questions
Only porblems i had was that thag last one was pretty rough. As in webcrawling that website.
Bro do they provide certificate
Instead of the given ip address and the password given i ised my own password and ip address and it kinda worked, untill i noticed that you can get a generated one, but now i cant seem to loginto that generated ip ,I am struggling with the SSH login, i typed the IP address given to me, and the password that eas provided below, but it was telling me that the password was incorrect, is there a way i can make the password visible?? Can someone help me.
Hop into the discord and throw your questions in the questions channel
the font is very small.
it is hard to see and read
please, zoom in
i honestly left worst then i started. very passive explanations, like assumes we all know things
I understand your frustrations, feel free to hop in the discord and let me know where you would like clarification. Also understand that most of these boxes do have the expectation of a certain level of knowledge.
@@stuffy24 Thank you so much for your time and reply/consideration. I appreciate you not having taken it the wrong way for i truly didnt have ill intent rather it be a constructive criticism. If i may; i feel that it wasnt justf what you were saying/teaching rather also, how. What do i mean, it seemed like you were stuck between a rock and a hard place and wasnt sure wether to cater to audience 1= noobs , audience 2 = advanced audience 3 = intermediate audience 4 = all the above. I feel if you were to maybe do tutorials more then once to cater to specifics or a more clear cut defined style for us to know who more specifically you are targetting. Though if in fact you have some extra time, i would love to get with you and share some more personalized feedback from 3rd party P.O.V.
@@Lao_Zi_369 I actually love this idea and am kinda kicking myself for not thinking about it myself! Doing the tutorials in 2 different fashions is a win win! I really am glad you said that! I absolutely would love to have you hop in and contribute because this is a great feedback that I think will help a lot!
@@stuffy24 i keep trying to reply but it might be auto flagging for ads or something. Get a hold of me somehow. i have an few reviews/feedback id love to share with you mate
@@Lao_Zi_369 just message me on discord if you have it
Hey, im noticing that at around 14:30 with the SSH im told to download a OVPN file and it cant be opened, therfore i cannot find the ip address of what i should SSH into
The VPN file is for your attack machine
@@stuffy24Oh yeah but the problem is that i cant acces it
@@mrgasmask7584 read HTB access instructions. You need to change permissions on the file probably
@@stuffy24thanks for the fast response ill look into it:)
Hi where did you get the password from, to log into the Ssh shell at around 15.30 in the tutorial ?
The module gives you the information you need. Make sure to read especially down by where you launch it.
What is the name of the config file that has been created after 2020-03-03 and is smaller than 28k but larger than 25k? LOL! I ran outta instances. Stuck on this one.
I'll have to go back and check because they changed this one
@@stuffy24 thanks but I finally got it. Thats the only thing I don't like about HTB, they halfway explain things then change the answers on the exams by a few points when its an exact science. I blew thru the intro, networking, Security Incident Reporting and Linux. Now Im working on Stack based buffer overflows in Linux. Last question I'm stuck on is "Load AppArmor profiles managed internally by snapd" as the answer".thanks in advance
@@stuffy24 the answer is 00-mesa-defaults lol
What is grep - E doing in the final part?
Grep -e searches using the extended regular expression. Basically if you use just grep and you have something like { in it that will not be part of the search unless you use the -e because it thinks your trying to interact not search
@@stuffy24 thanks bro, this has been really helpful
I cant connect ssh to htb-student, because the password below doesnt work. How to fix it?
It shows you on the dashboard. If not hop in the discord and show me what your seeing
how do i connect with htb with an virutal machine on vbox? ive seen u connecting with ssh i tried it with the same ip in ur vid but it didnt work and i dont know how or where to get that ip from. maybe someone from the commenrs can help me please
@AhmadAlhusein-ql5ho you will need to have the VPN connected specific to your account. Find the how to connect page on htb. Then when you spawn the target vm the ip will show up after it boots
@@stuffy24 i was doing smth wrong but now i know how to connect to it thank u :)
The ssh keeps timing out, what is the solution for this
I would ensure the HTB machine is running and you are connected
what part is working with web services
Can you hop in the discord and give detailed question I can help. Not sure if your asking for help here or making a statement.
You have so many videos , where do i begin?
Start with the ones you find interesting! Lol
ssh connect to host 10.129. Connections times out of
There could be many reasons. Ensure your connected to VPN
Im a liitle late but thank you
Thank you for the support
I am still struggling with Linux 😭😭
Well hop in the discord and let us know what specifically your struggling with! We can always try to help
@@stuffy24 thanks for your help
Helpful course but you skipped over the entire workflow module
@darkusphantomleonidas1129 appreciate it. Sometimes I do these weeks apart and must have not noticed. I plan on redoing this one I believe anyway since it's changed
@@stuffy24 cool will watch as soon as it's available
@@stuffy24 when redoing it, it might be more helpfull if you go into more detail explaining more detail and why using certain commands, scripts and so on is being used
A few extra examples of how, why and when they are are used might helpful and possibly get you more viewers
My opinion
@darkusphantomleonidas1129 appreciate the feedback! I don't really care about views. I don't ever wanna do full time youtube. I just want to help ppl so I think that will help a lot.
@@stuffy24 tnx for reading my opinion goodluck
im so noob it took me 10 minutes to find the terminal at Parrot hahahhaha
Hey we all started there!!
@@stuffy24 thanks for support , i hope to improve fast though bc i love it. I was looking for putty, then figured out no putty. So i looked for terminal but couldn't find it, ur video helped a lot thanks :)
I can't see anything and you having the commands saved already makes it useless to watch
I can understand your frustration. I should have moved by camera but the point of this is not to have you copy the commands that wouldn't help you anyway. Can you tell me where your getting stuck?
@stuffy24 The whole thing. I feel so frustrated. I do not remember the commands, and the customer service is not helping me at all. Your video did at least help me get into it to start. I feel so stupid trying to learn this. 😭
@@anonymousslave6521 hop in the discord and we can work through it.
16:40
15:15 whats the password?
It shows it in the HTB module
@@stuffy24 Found it, thanks.
You should dig more into the answers. There are guys coming from zero knowledge on server/protocols/ totally new to hackthebox and the academy is not really good at explaining things. If you think can't include explanations at least point at resource or other videos.
I def understand, with hack the box and tryhackme etc there is an assumed amount of knowledge. They are assuming these are people wanting to be hackers which means they expect atleast a basic fundamental skillset. I understand that's frustrating but I like your idea that if we don't have time to include an explanation I will give resources in the descriptions and things. I appreciate the suggestion!
Hey! Thank you for tutorial and walkthrough! has really been helpful. 🙏
I'm having a bit of an issue for when I execute the same command, I don't get the "snapd.apparmor.service" unit. Additionally, when I search through whole list, it doesn't appear. Do you (or anyone) have any idea why this is so?
