This small and tiny thing makes me rather happy. Just was able to complete the "Script Kiddy" Rank on #hackthebox. Next up, complete the "Hacker" Rank. This will take some time I think :)

So happy at the moment, just pawned my first ever seasonal #hackthebox box. It was an "easy" one and named Dog.
It took me quite a while. But again I learned a lot. I really should start to create checklists of commands I want to run when starting out. Way too easy to forget some small tweaks.
OK I am again behind 5 boxes, so to get warm up I decided to get the easy ones out of the way before I tackle the hard ones so just finished now #Titanic a #easy #GNU/Linux box, and as is label says, it was very easy not proud of it but as custom I do share it here. https://www.hackthebox.com/achievement/machine/16000/648 #happyHacking #hackerculture #Hackers #hacking #hispagatos #HackingIsNotACrime #hackthebox #HTB
Since 2021, I hadn't used #hackthebox. Recently tackled the #Backfire machine, which required combining #SSRF and #RCE vulnerabilities.
To complete it, I used two AIs: #o1 and #DeepSeek R1. While helpful, In my opinion, AIs can only support about 20% or 30% of the process, the rest relies on expertise and experience, especially when the machine hasn't been retired yet and there's not much info available.
This week I was super busy so got the this weeks season box just now! good thing the lateral movement and root was not hard at all I had some hard thinking and research for the entry point tho! but like always FUN! I just wish I had more time this season! #hackthebox #ctf #htb #hispagatos #usenet alt.2600.madrid alt.2600 hispagatos.talk also matrix space: https://matrix.to/#/#hispagatos:matrix.org

The warm-up has been Monday, Tuesday, and today and the competition begins tomorrow and goes until Friday. No pressure to actually perform. I haven't gotten much time in myself because of responsibilities but the 3 questions I've been able to burn energy on have been fun. I don't get to reverse engineer much and it's always a fun challenge, even in failure.
