## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation, security, penetration-testing
- domain: security, penetration-testing, education, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: ctf, hackthebox, writeups, boot2root, ethical-hacking, community-contributed
