Personal collection of Hack The Box retired machine and challenge writeups.
Methodology, attack paths and technical notes focused on understanding exploitation techniques rather than simply reproducing commands.
Note
Every writeup is written after completing the target myself and focuses on methodology, technical reasoning and the decisions made throughout the exploitation process.
Each writeup typically includes:
- Information Gathering
- Enumeration
- Initial Access
- Privilege Escalation
- Post-Exploitation
- Lessons Learned
