# Hacking Notes ## Hacking Notes ### Introduction This site is inspired greatly by . However, do not expect to see such great work here. This is just a place for me to accumulate my notes and thoughts. I do not plan on doing much in the way of explaining things. However, I do plan on creating another book that will provide more explanation on things via Hack the Box or other boot-to-root write ups. This site is an accumulation of knowledge that I have acquire elsewhere. This means that much of this is not from my own head but gathered and placed here. I will do my best to have references to the original sources though I will not be sighting everything like this is a college essay. Also, please let me know if a page was helpful or not by clicking the faces at the bottom of the page. ### whoami This almost seems to be an obligatory of any "hacker" documentation so I will oblige. My name is Arron Patton and I go by man715 most places online. I initially started my hacking journey when I was in high school but stopped lost motivation and interest in later years. I'm not sure what happened or why I gave up but that seems to be a running theme in my life in general. As of late my passion for technology and hacking has reemerged in my late 30's. My curiosity is running rampant. I have completed SANS GPEN, GSEC, and GCFE. As of now, I am also studying for the OSCP. Some bullet point history: * 13 Years in the United States Air Force as a Munitions System Specialist * Bachelor's Degree in English Education * Teaching was not for me * Systems Administrator and Endpoint Security Administrator ### Why oh why Why do I feel like creating this *book*? Quite simply for me. I am enjoying the process of learning and hacking into boxes on Hack the Box, TryHackMe, and in the OSCP Labs. I want to create a resource I can use to look back at the skills, tips, and tricks I am learning. Plus, I cannot remember everything and continuously googling for the same things over and over is a waste of time. There are some great resources out there like HackTricks and PentestMonkey, but I wanted something of my own. I wanted to create something that helps me solidify some of what I am learning and doing. Lastly, I hope that this resource can be of some help to someone else out there in the hactiverse. ### Errors If you notice any errors, please feel free to either create a pull request or you can shoot me an email at man715\[AT]protonmail\[DOT]com. Just FYI, I rarely check that email address so it may just be better to hit me up on twitter. [@man715\_](https://twitter.com/man715_) ## Disclaimer Actions have consequences!
