A community-maintained collection of writeups for HackTheBox boot2root machines and challenges, written in Spanish or English. Writeups for active machines are password-protected with flags to prevent spoilers.

Use cases

• find writeups for retired hackthebox machines
• learn penetration testing techniques from ctf solutions
• study boot2root machine walkthroughs
• contribute my own hackthebox writeup via pull request
• prepare for offensive security certifications
• look up how a specific htb machine was solved

When to choose

• you are stuck on a retired HackTheBox machine and want a walkthrough
• you want to study real-world penetration testing techniques in a CTF format
• you want to contribute writeups to an established community collection

When to avoid

• you need writeups for active machines without solving them yourself - those are flag-protected
• you want interactive labs rather than static PDF writeups
• you need structured courses instead of community-contributed documents
