Notes from labs, research and tooling. Retired Hack The Box machines and lab environments only. Nothing here targets a system I do not own or have permission to test.
How I write these
Every entry follows the same path: recon, foothold, privilege escalation. Then I add the part most writeups skip: what the attack looks like in logs and how to fix it. The goal is to show how I think, not only that I got root.
Where to start
New entries land here as machines retire. Use the explorer on the left, or search with Ctrl+K.
