After eight months of using AI in real penetration testing engagements, I'm finding 30-40% more vulnerabilities in the same time window. Here's exactly how I'm integrating AI into reconnaissance, exploitation, and reporting—complete with prompts, techniques, and hard lessons learned.
My update routine used to be a ritual: App Store, then Homebrew, then pip, then rustup, then... did I forget something? Probably. Then I discovered Topgrade—one command that detects every package manager on your system and updates them all.
This is a fun medium skill level server at Hack The Box . It is a linux Ubuntu box and it had a few fun elements. I learned a lot about memcached for this one. It also requires some sqlmap work so if you aren’t familiar with that tool,
