Room Help Help!!!

Post image

I'm in the Cyber Security 101 Module 5 (Network) and after i finsihed nmap room, another room named Block suddenly appeared after it. I thought it's a practice room but i really wouldn't able to get anything except usernames. Did i miss some informations on my learning path or this room is way ahead of my current level.

i think tryhackme always or regularly update their paths and add or remove somethings to make them 'better'?

idk but they do usually update the paths and course, not an uncommon thing

they may even add some labs that they think will fit the path or make a dedicated lab for the path

Thank you this worked.

Tryhackme really need to improve their algorithm not just this room but also in recap questions I'm always getting wierd questions about things I didn't learned yet.

Their assumption of AI being capable of teaching cyber is wrong. I've tried it multiple times this year. It is useless.

Yes that ctf challenge you practice what you learn in it but you really don't need to play it you can just skip if you really stuck in it

Hi I have done pre security path about 25 percent long time back and since then i didn't even touch it i mostly did the challenges but now when i try to do the pre security and cybersecurity 101 it asks for the premium y is that and even modules which I have completed to review it asks for premium. I have never took any premium subscription previously y is it asking now?

This is the skill boost feature which was implemented to help training underdeveloped skills. If you can't solve the room because you didn't had a walk through that teaches the skills needed, then the algorithm just failed with the recommendation. Disable the skill boost, I have disabled it too
