TryHackMe

TryHackMe is an online cybersecurity training platform that emphasizes hands-on, practical learning through guided laboratories and challenges. It is used by individuals, educators, and organizations to develop and assess security skills.

Content on the platform is organized into rooms and learning paths. Rooms are self-contained exercises that present tasks, questions, and explanations to be completed within a simulated environment. Paths are curated sequences of rooms designed to build competence from beginner to advanced levels across topics such as web security, network security, incident response, digital forensics, cryptography, and offensive and defensive security concepts. Laboratories are accessed through a web browser, providing browser-based environments that minimize the need for local setup.

Access to material ranges from free content to paid subscriptions that unlock additional rooms and features. The platform incorporates hints, walkthroughs, and explanations to aid learning, along with progress tracking through points and badges. It is commonly used for self-study, classroom or coaching contexts, and corporate training, including red-team and blue-team exercises. The approach centers on practical, scenario-driven exercises intended to mirror real-world security challenges and to prepare learners for certifications and professional work.
