Streak Continuity
Sign in after the run if you want checkpoint history and future streak preservation.
Continue in Member App

Sign in only if you want to continue inside the protected workspace after this public sandbox run.

Launch Sequence
1

Stage one checkpoint at a time instead of dumping the whole walkthrough at once.

2

Read the terminal output closely. Each checkpoint stays sealed until the verification signal matches.

3

Clear this mission to unlock the next queue tile: OWASP Top 10 - Web Exploitation.

Session Access

This public start flow lands in the same live mission workspace a member uses after auth. Authentication only gates saved notes, streak continuity, and the protected handoff inside /app/labs/linux-privilege-escalation.

Member Extras

Sign in when you want recruiter-facing proof, checkpoint history, saved streaks, and the protected next-mission queue.
