└── workspace/ # gitignored scratch space for boxes in progress
Each box folder holds a writeup.md along with any supporting files
(scan output, scripts, screenshots).
Every writeup follows the same layout so they're easy to skim:
- Metadata table: track, difficulty, OS, tags, tools.
- Summary: one short paragraph on what the box is and the path through it.
- Recon: nmap and other discovery output.
- Enumeration / Foothold / Exploitation: the actual work, with commands and the relevant output trimmed for readability.
- Flag: the captured value.
- Guided Tasks: for Starting Point boxes, the official Q&A as a table.
- References: any external links used.
