HTB - Thermal Receipt
Connect to PRET PJL mode, enumerate device files, recover the latest journal receipt, follow the NVRAM reference, and read NVRAM to recover the flag.
THM - BankGPT
This writeup demonstrates how to bypass a banking AI's security guardrails by chaining context manipulation and audit pretexting to ultimately extract hidden API keys through a subtle "Leakage in Refusal" vulnerability.
HTB - Caldrin's Day Away
This writeup details how to drain an ERC-4626-style vault in HTB's "Caldrin's Day Away" challenge by leveraging a massive flash loan to manipulate an AMM reserve, feeding the poisoned data through a flawed oracle to artificially inflate the vault's share price.
HTB - Bought Riot
In this medium-difficulty Cloud challenge, you must trace the origins and financial backing of a malicious rumor to stop a framed Stormbound captain from being wrongfully stripped of their crucial guard post.
HTB - Cadence in the Cord
Cadence in the Cord is a Sigrok/UART challenge where the apparent serial message only serves as a guide to a second, covert channel encoded in the inter-frame timing—short gaps as 0, long gaps as 1.
HTB - Line Tap
Line Tap demonstrates how a forgotten Telnet maintenance interface on an ICS host can be turned into instant, unauthenticated root via CVE-2026-24061 by abusing the NEW-ENVIRON USER=-f root trick, making the challenge a clean lesson in legacy service risk, argument injection, and critical exposure in operational technology environments.
