A practical how-to shows free CTF platforms (Hack The Box, TryHackMe, HackerOne01, SANS Holiday Hack) and walks a solved puzzle: a SANS 2018 terminal challenge that uses PowerShell & SQLite3, allows command injection via & or ; into a ping call, reveals onboard.db and menu.ps1, and lets the solver run sqlite3, SELECT * FROM onboard WHERE L_name='Chan' to extract "Scott" and submit it to the run-to-answer check to score the flag.
