0x08 SEA “Unsalted Waters” – A Beginner’s Voyage
Details
WHAT TO EXPECT
Join us for a Hack The Box (HTB) meetup in Christchurch, New Zealand! Whether you're completely new to cybersecurity or already exploring hacking, this event is a great place to learn, practice, and meet like-minded people.
We’ll be doing a guided walkthrough of the HTB “Sea” machine, an easy Linux box that’s perfect for beginners. We’ll go step by step, showing how vulnerabilities can be found and used in a simple and understandable way—no prior experience needed.
Along the way, you’ll learn the basics of web security, how attackers think, and how to move from initial access to full control of a system.
After the walk through, you’ll have time to keep practicing, ask questions, and work together with others on more challenges.
The event will be hosted at MadeCurious, and drinks and pizza will be kindly provided by MadeCurious—huge thanks for supporting the community!
