Demo writeup: testing recent activity

A demo article to check that new writeups appear automatically on the home page.

Hack The BoxRetiredEasy

Overview

Demo content. This is a test article, not a walkthrough of a real machine. The platform, status and difficulty badges are examples of the writeup layout.

I published this short post to check the recent activity section. It should appear above older GitHub commits, with its publication date and a link to this page.

Enumeration

A writeup can explain what I checked, what I found and why I chose the next step.

Notes

For this demo, there is no target to scan. This section simply shows how a subsection appears in the contents navigation.

Example output

Writeup discovered: activity-demo
Publication date: 2026-10-31
Home activity: ready

The text above is illustrative output, not a record of commands run against a machine.

What this tests

  • The publication date determines the article's position in recent activity.
  • The title and description come from the article's details.
  • Clicking the home-page entry opens this writeup.
  • The contents navigation follows the headings in this MDX file.

Next steps

Once this check is complete, this demo can be removed or replaced with a real writeup. New articles follow the same structure.
