For those of you who are newer and are using Hackthebox.eu as a learning platform… let me let you in on a little secret… it’s okay to use walkthroughs sometimes. Guess what? You can only get the walkthroughs for hackthebox’s machines for retired machines… which you only have access to on VIP. It’s only 10 Euros a month and you can cancel whenever. That’s less than 2 Starbucks coffees for a ton more value in terms of learning.

Ignore those people who say you should never use a walkthrough because it’s showing that you’re giving up… I’m somewhat new to pentesting and guess what… I am a fast learner and I like to learn things quickly. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll spend (sometimes) hours on a box before I resort to a walkthrough if I need it… but guess what… once I finally resort to it I will NEVER forget what I did wrong or what I missed.

After all… you’re learning to exploit machines… and this stuff isn’t easy… otherwise everyone would be doing it. On here you’ll find some HTB walkthroughs because I think it’s just good for the community for me to share my findings… that’s how we all get better.
