Enigma Writeups

CTFs, HackTheBox machines, and future CVE world domination


GitBad | Web – L3ak CTF

Jul 14, 2025
This is my write-up for GitBad one of the web challenges in L3ak CTF. It walks through exploiting an SSRF via Git submodule URLs, bypassing MongoDB filters with $facet and $lookup, and chaining the attack with Varnish caching to exfiltrate the flag.

🐶 Puppy – HTB Writeup

This is my write-up for the “Puppy” machine on HackTheBox. It covers enumerating an Active Directory environment, abusing GenericWrite and GenericAll permissions, brute-forcing a KeePass database, and enabling a disabled account to gain a foothold and retrieve the user flag.
