Each month, we will "hack" through a vulnerable machine on the Hack The Box platform in a guided and discussion-based session, with a focus on explaining why certain techniques work, not just how to execute them. No prior offensive security experience is required - all you need is the willingness to engage and learn.

By thinking like an attacker and hacking your way into a machine, you can expect to learn:

• How attackers approach a new system and look for weaknesses
• Common vulnerabilities and misconfigurations found in real environments
• How initial access is typically achieved and what that means for defenders
• Why managing privileges matters and how attackers abuse misconfigured access
• How offensive techniques translate into better defensive thinking and risk awareness

⠀
