Nah, hackthebox and many other red team simulation type sites have strict rules of engagement. You're there to solve a puzzle as defined by hackthebox, not get around the puzzle by hacking hackthebox.

Oh no, just like if you were actually hired to do a red team simulation for a business! They would have strict rules of engagement and certain systems would potentially be defined as off-limits.

How terrible of Hackthebox to *checks notes... promote industry standard Red Team practices.

That’s not very “Kobayashi Maru” of them.

I mean that just means you didn’t hack them well enough.
