Are you asking about finding the way to get root on an HTB box?

If so, and this is just IMHO, pretty much anything goes. There is nothing wrong with googling to learn more about an exploit path or attack idea.

Personal choice kicks in though. Sometimes people do share too much information, including full walkthroughs, hash plaintexts and exploitation scripts. No one can police you or stop you using this if you find it (they are at fault for oversharing), but using it does undermine a lot of the point of being on HTB.

If you learn from the information, everyone wins. If you just copy and paste until you get the root flag, you are pretty much wasting your own time.

However, if this question is for machines OUTSIDE the HTB environment, speak to a lawyer.

thank you for your response i’ll search and solve it thank you
