HackTheBox Writeups :

---

• Writeups built by me which can give you the initial idea of how i successfully owned both user and root of some boxes that i tried to exploit. I do try to put the instructions as detailed and as step-by-step as possible, if there is any confusion, issue it as will.

• Before reading, i assume you have already known what is HackTheBox and how to run its openvpn pack in order to connect to the targets and exploit them. if not then here...

Hack The Box is an online platform allowing you to test your penetration testing skills andexchange ideas and methodologies with thousands of people in the security field. Click below to hack our invite challenge, then get started on one of our many live machines or challenges. In order to join it, create an account and join at https://www.hackthebox.eu/login, the login part could be tricky since it will ask you to "hack" your way in, find the invitation code in order to proceed any further, once succeeded, choose a server at the "Access" tab, download the opvnpn pack, run it and you will establish yourself a connection to those boxes, after that, have fun hacking.

• Running the openvpn pack :

$ cd Downloads # Changing to the directory where the pack is located
$ sudo openvpn hacktheboxpack.ovpn

• then you will have access to all available boxes which you can check here --> https://app.hackthebox.eu/machines
