SadServers
This provides the writeups for the Sad Servers challenges. Which is a a site where people generate real world scenarios to for others to debug and fix. Helping everyone improve their skills.
The site provides a range of challenges between Easy, Medium, and Hard. I normally focus more on the Do and Fix challenge types. But, there is also a Hack challenge type. But, it’s pretty diverse over all. Even if these are just Linux challenges.
You can have anywhere between a database to fix/recover, fixing web server issues, renewing TLS certificates, Bash scripting, Docker troubleshooting, DNS troubleshooting, and much more. It just depends on how deep you want to go down the rabbit hole. It’s hard to get bored.
If anyone would also like to work through these. Here is the link.
