What is the minimum knowledge required for Hack The Box?

Question

Information Security

Hello. I am new to pentesting and recently came across HTB, read articles on the topic of passing cars, and realized that I know little, various vulnerabilities, tricks, ways, where to find and study all this? What is the minimum knowledge required for this? I have knowledge of the Linux terminal (it is the main system), the Python language, tinkering with Nmap, nikto, Nessus, etc. Thank you very much in advance.

Answer 1

Why the hell did you delete the last, exactly the same question? Should I re-type the answer for three paragraphs now? Yah you.
Brief summary: you are wasting your time, play Fortnite, Ubuntu is not Linux, nikto is you, put yourself Kali to play hacker and go eat mashed potatoes. Here mom's pintesters run in packs on vacation.

Answer 2

You need to know how to exchange data to find the access interface.
Know how to find vulnerabilities - to find and exploit interface vulnerabilities.
