I just finished oopsie here. Im a noob. And you are right my friend, in the tutorials nothing is explained properly lol! I had to DuckDuckgo and Youtube a lot and still…some commands are still not clear like " Why am i inputting this command? What does this do?" Like bro, im moving around almost blindly on some steps.
Linking some articles in the tutorials with explanation for the tools for the layman would be really appreciated.
I think this is why HTB created the Academy.
Ippsec has a good intro - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBjksyVmspY&ab_channel=IppSec
From what I can tell, Starting Point is still aimed at exploratory learning, rather than guided learning.
I think, in practice, it wouldn’t be possible to link “some articles” and even if HTB did, people would complain because the articles missed something or covered too much.
A good example is SSTI. There are thousands of articles about this, some better than others but that is very much a personal assessment. How can someone decide which is the best article for me to read to learn something about it?
