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

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.

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

It's called hackthebox not hackoutofthebox

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)

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