Resources to use in conjunction with Try Hack Me

tl;dr - What do you use with THM or HtB to help you remember what they've taught you (specifically when you're early on)?


I've been doing Try Hack Me for about a month or so. I've done enough to start to get at the meat and potatoes of hacking, but still far from being able to do it on my own.However, I do have a concern. As I'm continuing my journey on this website, I'm finding that I'm forgetting some things. I'll know the general idea, but not the exact bits of information I'd need in the moment.

I know the default answer to this is just study, but even if I strap myself to a chair and pin my eyelids open like I'm in Clockwork Orange, I still struggle to remember stuff. I learn best by doing and repetition of the doing, but I'm not sure what I can use aside from THM and Hack the Box. I'm still not at a point to be doing an CTF challenges (as far as I know), so those aren't really an option.

What I want to know, is what do you guys use in conjunction with these? I looked at the wiki, and I plan on trying some of them out, but I worry that they're going to be too dense/technical for me. Are there any other resources to help familiarize yourself with hacking concepts/tools? Key word being "familiarize". I've done the lessons, but need reminders before I can fully commit it to memory.

EDIT: I should mention that I do takes notes as I go through the lessons, and it does help, but it doesn't help me full grasp these concepts when it's just simple tidbits of information
