Getting to Top 250 on HtB with Nix and LLMs
In this talk, the speaker walks through how they used Nix to declare several AI models with full access to their computer in order to climb the Hack The Box (HtB) leaderboard after being previously hardstuck at the "Hacker" rank while juggling the responsibilities of being a busy dad.
They demonstrate a semi-autonomous workflow where they are (not) automating themselves out of a job. The talk explores the challenge of tackling numerous CTF problems with limited time and shows how the combination of Nix and AI offers a powerful workflow for solving CTFs that often require multiple, isolated testing environments.
Finally, this custom Nix-based setup is compared to more traditional security-focused distros like Kali and AthenaOS. The talk ends by exploring how this approach transfers to real-world offensive security scenarios, pen testing, red teaming, and bug bounty hunting, and how much of it can be practically applied.
