Pentesting Pattern Library

A problem-first index of the recurring techniques that decide the boxes on the OSCP-like lab list. Each pattern is deliberately small: when to reach for it, the prerequisite check that must pass, the commands worth memorising, and the machines where it was the difference between stuck and rooted. It sits between three neighbours: the command checklist you run at the start of every box, the Linux, Windows and AD machine pages that walk one box end-to-end, and the “Cross-machine patterns” summary at the end of each machine page. This page is the layer that transfers: a technique is worth learning when you can name two machines it appears on and the condition that makes it fire. Nothing here is a walkthrough, and every command still needs its placeholders replaced.
