you're blocked for doing something funny

As a funny person, this makes me sad. They should get a sense of humor.

As my father always said: you may be a funny person, but looks don't count for everything.

I like that! I'm going to steal it.

He would've liked that. He was a real nice guy, always said I had a face for radio.

Blocking someone from a hacking game because they tried to hack it is basically admitting defeat.

[-] [email protected] 125 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

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

If a real world pentester tries to hack something out of scope, they also get banned. From society. To a prison cell.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

It's called hackthebox not hackoutofthebox

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Is this like getting banned from an escape room because you brought (and used) a live grenade to solve the puzzle

(I think they have a strict no-grenades-from-home policy, usually)

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Getting caught means the hacker won? Are you a r?

[-] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago

So trying to hack hackthebox is not permitted? Confusion is the name of the game

hackthebox is essentially a puzzle solving platform where the puzzles are designed to teach you hacking. You're not supposed to hack the platform.

I hope it leads you on a bit before this reveal.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

That's the honeypot

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

At first I thought this was a legit ban but it actually looks more like an error message similar to 404 lol
