If you’re into infosec you should have heard of HackTheBox (or HTB) by now.

If you’re not, or are and haven’t heard about it yet, it’s a super cool site that lets hackers practice their skills in realistic simulations.

I’m a little late to the party, so I decided to shoot for Pro Hacker status and see how long it would take me to pwn 10 boxes. It took me 20 days, and I finally rooted my 10th machine.

The number one thing this challenge taught me is that you have to TRY HARDER! and ENUMERATE MORE! Here are some tips and tricks I learnt about enumeration over the course of the challenge.
