For anyone completing the Hack The Box CPTS, and wants a reference to all the links and study suggestions in the Getting Started module, I've got you covered.
📚Learning Resources
I made some flashcards for only the important ports and HTTP Status codes you need to remember. Usually, I'll quickly revise them at the end of the day. Remember, it's important as pentesters that we can recall these quickly.
Well-Known Ports (Encrypted vs. Unencrypted)
Important HTTP Status Codes
📎References & Cheat Sheets
I’ve compiled all the important links mentioned in the module here for easy access. (Note: The Getting Started Cheat Sheet from Hack The Box is not included.)
Reverse Shells
Local Privilege Escalation
Linux Enumeration Scripts
Windows Enumeration Scripts
Cross-Platform Enumeration
sudo
Exploitation & Binary Misuse
Living-off-the-Land Binaries (Windows)
Happy Hacking guys!
(PS: Do let me know in the comments if you think I left out anything important!)
