✍️ Writeup Format

Every writeup follows a consistent methodology:

  • Summary — one-liner with the attack chain overview
  • Reconnaissance — port scanning, service detection
  • Enumeration — directory fuzzing, version fingerprinting, vulnerability research
  • Exploitation — initial foothold, CVE / custom exploit
  • Privilege Escalation — local enumeration, escalation path
  • Flags — user.txt & root.txt
  • Lessons Learned — key takeaways and techniques worth remembering

🛠 Toolbox

Phase Tools
Scanning Nmap, Rustscan
Web Burp Suite, ffuf, Gobuster, curl
Exploitation SQLMap, Metasploit, custom scripts
Post-Exploitation LinPEAS, WinPEAS, GTFOBins, pspy
Cracking John the Ripper, Hashcat

⚠️ Disclaimer

These writeups are published strictly for educational and documentation purposes.
Only retired machines are covered. Unauthorized access to computer systems is illegal.
