# Introduction ## Purpose This is my blog space where I am sharing my attempts of different boxes on HackTheBox. For each box, I will demonstrate how I approached from initial enumeration to getting a root shell. Please also check out my other blogs on TryHackMe in this collection. ## Sections of My Blog In my attempts I would sometimes use write-ups from other people when I am stuck. Therefore on the first page of each box I would clarify if I am relying on any other write-up or not. My take on reading write-up is that I am not perfect in any way and there will always be something that I don't know. But reading write-up gives me the opportunity to learn from others and to improve my own skillset. Therefore, I would also reflect on what I have learned through each box to retain such memory and to keep making improvements along my way. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
