This track is the onboarding shelf for the public TryHackMe corpus.
Use it when you want to build the baseline that makes the rest of the repo easier to read:
- core security vocabulary
- command-line habits
- note-taking and research workflow
- beginner tooling concepts
- transferable fundamentals before deeper web, networking, or blue-team tracks
This page is a lightweight directory for the 00-foundations track. Use it to find the best entry point, browse the main sub-areas, and jump into the foundational notes that support the rest of the public TryHackMe corpus.
| Goal | Open |
|---|---|
| understand how this repo organizes TryHackMe notes | ../_meta/README.md |
| browse the controlled vocabulary for front matter | ../_meta/TAGS.md |
| start with beginner-friendly security context | intro-cybersecurity/ |
| improve learning and research workflow | learning-meta/ |
| review command-line and shell foundations | command-line/ |
| see the public-safe room template | ../_meta/TEMPLATE_room.md |
This track mixes two kinds of material:
- subdirectories for grouped learning paths
- standalone notes for cross-cutting fundamentals that help multiple later tracks
| Area | Focus |
|---|---|
| intro-cybersecurity/ | first-pass security concepts, attacker/defender framing, search skills |
| learning-meta/ | how to study, research, and turn labs into reusable notes |
| command-line/ | shell usage, command-line habits, and workflow basics |
| python-basics/ | entry-level scripting concepts for security work |
| security-basics/ | foundational security ideas and vocabulary |
| tooling-ai/ | AI-adjacent tooling notes in the same public-safe style |
If you want a fast path through this track, start with:
- security-principles.md
- introductory-networking.md
- metasploit-introduction.md
- writing-pentest-reports.md
- data-representation.md
These notes sit directly in 00-foundations because they are broadly reusable across later tracks:
- computer-types.md
- data-encoding.md
- data-representation.md
- history-of-malware.md
- inside-a-computer-system.md
- introductory-networking.md
- learn-rust.md
- metasploit-introduction.md
- security-principles.md
- sql-fundamentals.md
- writing-pentest-reports.md
- Read this track first if a later note assumes tools or vocabulary you do not recognize.
- Treat it as a reusable reference shelf, not a linear course.
- Prefer the grouped folders when you want a learning path, and the standalone notes when you need one concept quickly.
