I am a newbie in the infosec and want to start learning and building my career. I have recently got my Security+ cert. Now want to learn something about CTFs and then go on to do OSCP. Someone asked me to try HTB, so i am here. I feel like I need some step-by-step tutorials to start with. Can someone please point to any resources (including VMs) here that I can use to start my learning experience.
