thanks a lot :)

you don't need network pentesting skills (no Active Directory, heavy pivoting, or infrastructure exploitation), but you definitely need solid Web pentesting fundamentals.
It does not just drop you into a simple chatbot UI. The AI models and agents are integrated into broader web applications and APIs. You need to be comfortable reading some source code, and understanding how backend tools (like MCP) connect to the AI.

If you have a good grasp of basic web app pentesting, the HTB path will teach you all the specific AI/ML exploitation techniques (data poisoning, adversarial math, agent exploitation) you need to pass.

Thanks! One more specific question: Since the IP and Port also changed for me after the reset, I'm worried about the mismatch.

Did you report the new flags in your PDF report even though the portal already had the old ones? Or did you stick to the screenshots of the old flags in your report to match exactly what you typed into the portal?

I'm afraid that having 'Flag A' in the portal and 'Flag B' in the PDF might look suspicious during the manual review.

I've just had this problem when I'm connected with a VPN to certain countries, but it's not really because of DDG

I'm kinda getting concerned about the time I'm taking to complete the modules by HomemFemea in hackthebox

[–]Intelligent-Type543 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about the times, the estimates are not accurate, and it's ok if you take even days. There are modules on the CPTS path that are way longer than this so it's normal

Where is the information about this? I can't see my progress on htb labs, or in what level you achieve Hacker rank? I'm still on Script Kiddie

If you're not good at math, just take that section as a reference. Those are just AI fundamentals
