[@stuffy24]

Glad it could help!

[@obieda4075]

Thanks for the video I have used it every time I got stuck you have helped me go through the module and made me understand how some basic tools work

[@stuffy24]

Thank you for the kind words! Glad I was able to help!

[@AndrewAustin]

Thank you for your videos. I have enjoyed going through a hackthebox module and then watching the video after or if I get stuck.

[@stuffy24]

I appreciate it!

[@nelsoncruz-os7nz]

Awesome videos man! Keep em coming!

[@stuffy24]

Thank you!

[@yourfavoriteplugsplug9317]

Good vid bruh, subscribed.

[@stuffy24]

Appreciate ya man

[@andrevictorfreitas3467]

Hi, bro! I really enjoy your videos. They help me a lot in my HTB journey. I would love it if you could make a video showing how to solve the "Hacking WordPress" module. I've been stuck there for a long time.

[@stuffy24]

Hey man wish i could! HTB doesnt allow walkthroughs on any paid content! They have banned me once for doing these.

[@derni5768]

OMG, thx you bro 😘😘😘

[@stuffy24]

Thanks for the support!

[@philipzimango2828]

I've watched the video it's good but towards the end it was done so quickly didn't seem to see where you got the flag as 'user2'. You only did the one for 'root'

[@stuffy24]

Appreciate the feedback. I try to do them quick enough that people aren't sitting there for hours but also give enough information to make it worth it

[@Boolap1337]

Are you able to still exploit the "Public exploit" at @51:00? Even tried copying ur input but ofc with my own RHOST AND RPORT but no luck. Dunno if its broken?

[@stuffy24]

It should still work make sure you are trying to restart the box and everything.

[@DavidGringle]

any vids or resources on shh keys any1 could recommend would be greatly appreciated dont understand whats goin on in that process

[@stuffy24]

OpenSSH documentation is good and a quick google will give you an explanation of how this operates.

[@lucassamuel2455]

Greetings Bro.. What do you think is the best order of study for these HTB Academy modules?

[@stuffy24]

That depends Def on your goals and what your experience level is

[@lucassamuel2455]

@@stuffy24 I'm a beginner. I only know the basics of computer networking. My focus is Red Team

[@stuffy24]

@lucassamuel2455 I think your skipping steps then. I would focus on fundamentals of IT and then focus on security. Not skip IT.

[@jaywandery9269]

Cant wait to start with HTB

[@stuffy24]

Excited to see how much you progress

[@ShivaShantiAi]

My sincere apologies... I realized the info. I added will not happen again! Thanks again for your content!

[@stuffy24]

No apologies necessary Man!

[@Bodybuilding_tipsYT]

If you record this for all the modules I'll paid for it

[@stuffy24]

@Bodybuilding_tipsYT I appreciate it but they ban for walkthroughs. I am uploading more videos from htb on my patreon but can't break TOS. Feel free to request modules on the discord

[@Bodybuilding_tipsYT]

@@stuffy24 are the rest of them in the patreon?

[@stuffy24]

@@Bodybuilding_tipsYT I will only post the ones that don't break their TOS

[@getcutson]

Htb hype

[@stuffy24]

Let's go! This is a long one lol

[@Dean-gs9iq]

Hi @stuffy24, when I join Patreon, should I expect a walkthrough for the rest of HackTheBox content?

[@stuffy24]

Hey dean great question! You should not. HTB does not allow walkthroughs of their paid boxes it's against their TOS. You receive 1 on 1 s where we could discuss the content but they forbid walkthroughs on paid content.

[@webrevolution.]

@@stuffy24 That's incorrect. Specifically when you say: "HTB does not allow walkthroughs of their paid boxes it's against their TOS". On the main HTB platform, the only free boxes are the active ones, which give you points for pwning. Only those are the ones you can not have walkthroughs for, the free boxes. Meanwhile the boxes which are retired (no longer give points for pwning) are allowed to have public walkthroughs. In fact IppSec always releases his own walkthrough on YT at the exact moment a box becomes retired. And said retired boxes are only available for VIP and VIP+ subscribers, which you of course have to pay for. Free boxes NO walkthroughs allowed. Paid boxes walkthroughs are allowed. So it's pretty much the exact opposite of what you've said. That is different if Dean was talking about the academy platform and not the main HTB platform where all the boxes are. In that case you'd be right to say that the paid content is protected from public walkthroughs, because modules which are not tier 0 can't be disclosed. But even if I don't exactly know what Dean was referring to, you specifically said "boxes" and not "modules" in your answer, so you were talking about the main platform. Hence your reply is incorrect.
