HTB: Charon
A multi-stage Linux box requiring two SQL injection points, a case-sensitive keyword filter bypass, a hidden base64 upload field, RSA key factorisation, and a SUID binary with a newline injection to reach root.
HTB: Lazy
A padding oracle in a custom PHP authentication cookie enables CBC bit-flipping to forge admin access, exposing an SSH key. A SUID binary with a relative PATH call to cat completes the root chain.
HTB: October
Default credentials on October CMS grant admin access, the code editor provides RCE as www-data, and a 32-bit SUID buffer overflow with ASLR brute-force delivers root in under ten seconds.
HTB: Bank
A DNS zone transfer leaks the domain, a failed encryption process exposes plaintext credentials, a debug file extension bypass enables a webshell, and a custom SUID binary gives instant root.
