Hack The Box Archive

Medium machines. Deeper tradecraft.

Retired Medium machine and challenge writeups covering more involved attack paths, multi-stage exploitation, privilege escalation, and operational decision-making.

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.
