INTENDED OUTCOMES:
https://exploit-exercises.com [exploit-exercises.com] states:
Nebula covers a variety of simple and intermediate challenges that cover Linux privilege escalation, common scripting
language issues, and file system race conditions.
By the end of this tutorial you should be able to identify common errors in file permissions, and in scripting
languages, and you should be able to exploit these to escalate privileges.
In some of the challenges, you are trying to get privilege escalation. This would also be something you would be trying
to do, if you were given a compromised computer, and you were trying to see what had been done to the computer. � As you
go through the challenges, start writing or collecting useful scripts or commands.

use the help, please record which exercises you completed with help, and which you completed yourself.
You should not need more than 5 minutes for each beginning exercise. If it is taking too long, and you cannot work out
the solution, then the hint is useful ? but only if you actually complete each challenge.
