I just passed the PT1 (Penetration Tester) certification by TryHackMe! 🚩 This was one of the most hands-on and challenging certifications I've taken so far.

If you're looking to break into offensive security or sharpen your skills in a realistic setting, I can highly recommend PT1.

After completing my OSCP and CRTE certifications, I did my first junior-level exam the Junior Penetration Tester (PT1) from TryHackMe. Having now completed it, I can confidently say this stands out as one of the most practical junior-level certifications available.
