HackTheBox Lab Notes
& Challenge Write-Ups

A dedicated map for HackTheBox machines and seasonal challenges. Each lab gets its own write-up, while this page stays focused on the collection, status, and the core methodology behind the notes.

Collection Format

Like the TryHackMe section, this hub links out to individual machine write-ups so each lab has space for a clean attack path.

First Planned Machine

Devhub · Season 11: Season of the Punk

What Gets Recorded
ReconEnumerationFootholdPrivilege escalation
Editorial Rule
  • Write the path as it was discovered, not only the final exploit chain.
  • Keep screenshots and commands tied to the decision they support.
  • Separate machine-specific tricks from reusable testing habits.
Why this page exists

One hub for seasonal machines.

HackTheBox write-ups can quickly scatter across seasons, machine names, and themes. This page keeps the series organized while each lab gets its own focused walkthrough.
