Hack The Box Archive
Easy machines. Real methodology.
Retired Easy machine and challenge writeups documenting enumeration, exploitation, privilege escalation, and the reasoning behind each path.
Archive notes: Active boxes and challenges are not published. Writeups posted after March 6, 2021 use exported pentest.ws PDFs instead of CherryTree files. Since April 6, 2023, new writeups also include video walkthroughs.
