HackTheBox Weekly Challenge - Querier

Hi 0x00ers!

On this week of grinding away to further improve our skills and flex our hacking muscles, we will all be working on this box.

Hopefully, as the weeks go on, we will all progress and learn new things as a group and in several years of working and training, we’ll be tackling the very hard boxes with ease.

It has been a long while since I could work on a HTB machine and spend some time on the forum due to my college applications. I’m pretty rusty right now but will try working on this machine.
