Why This Exists

On January 1, 2024 I made a New Year resolution to solve one Hack The Box machine every single day for a year. It felt like an overconfident goal at first but I committed to myself and never missed a day for 7 straight months. That is 213 machines in 213 days. At 58.36 percent of the goal with 152 machines left I decided to stop, but those months taught me more about consistency and productivity than anything else.

This page is a searchable record of every machine I solved. Each entry has the techniques, tools, CVEs, and attack paths I used along with screenshots from the actual sessions. I built this so I can look up a machine or technique whenever it comes to mind and hopefully it helps someone else too.
