In this video I cover the basic overview of how to hackthebox and general recon hacking techniques/approach! This video merely acts as an intro to the tools used and the processes to at least make a start! - this is not a HowTo recon video, but I plan to do indepth videos of each part e.g a whole video on "nmap", but hopefully this content serves some help now, rather than later!
