Introduction

Hack The Box is a popular platform for learning and practicing penetration testing skills. This repository serves as a collection of writeups that document the solutions to various HTB labs. Each writeup aims to provide a clear understanding of the techniques used, making it easier for learners to follow along.

The writeups cover various aspects of cybersecurity, including:

• Exploitation: Techniques to gain unauthorized access.
• Post-Exploitation: Steps taken after gaining access.
• Analysis: Understanding vulnerabilities and how they can be exploited.

Topics Covered

This repository focuses on a range of topics relevant to cybersecurity and penetration testing:

• CTF (Capture The Flag)
• Cybersecurity
• Hacking
• Hack The Box
• InfoSec
• Linux
• Pentesting
• Privilege Escalation
• Red Teaming
• Reverse Engineering
• VulnServer
• Windows
• Writeups

Getting Started

To get started with the writeups, clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/Ryzal0422/HTB-writeups.git

Once you have the repository, navigate to the directory:

cd HTB-writeups

You can then explore the various writeups and techniques documented here. Each writeup is organized by lab, making it easy to find what you need.

Prerequisites

Before diving into the writeups, ensure you have the following tools installed:

• Kali Linux: A popular distribution for penetration testing.
• Burp Suite: A web application security testing tool.
• Metasploit: A framework for developing and executing exploit code.
• Wireshark: A network protocol analyzer.

Installation

For some writeups, you may need specific tools or dependencies. Check the individual writeups for any additional installation instructions.

Writeup Structure

Each writeup follows a standard structure to ensure consistency and clarity. The typical format includes:

1. Lab Overview: A brief description of the lab.
2. Reconnaissance: Information gathering techniques used.
3. Exploitation: Steps taken to exploit the vulnerabilities.
4. Post-Exploitation: Actions performed after gaining access.
5. Conclusion: Summary of the findings and lessons learned.

Example Writeup

Here's a brief example of what a writeup might look like:

Lab Overview

This lab focuses on a vulnerable web application that allows SQL injection.

Reconnaissance

• Tools used: Nmap, Burp Suite
• Scanned for open ports and services.

Exploitation

• Found SQL injection vulnerability.
• Used a crafted payload to extract data.

Post-Exploitation

• Gained access to the database.
• Retrieved user credentials.

Conclusion

The lab provided insights into SQL injection and its implications on web security.
