It has been a long time since I wrote anything here, but I’d been getting the itch again recently and I’d always planned on re-visting Hades to do a full writeup. Three years later, and here we are… Hades is a boot2root challenge created by Lok_Sigma with a heavy focus on binary exploitation and stack overflows. Service discovery using netdiscover and nmap, you know the drill… # netdiscover -i eth1 -p r 10....

Gibson is a boot2root created by Knightmare with a heavy 1988 Hackers theme; one of my favourite movies!
