 ## Overview
 
-This knowledgebase is a static site built with [mdbook](https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/index.html) and hosted by s00ner. The source code is hosted on s00ner's Gitea server at <https://git.doublehack.me/s00ner/Baltimore-hackthebox-knowledgebase>. If you'd like to contribute you should be familiar with [Git](https://training.github.com/downloads/github-git-cheat-sheet/) and [Markdown](https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/format/markdown.html) which are both relatively easy to learn. You do not need to worry about html or javascript since that is created by mdbook. If you browse the source files in the repository alongside the website it will become apparent how the markdown files are translated into html.

 ## Details
 This is how you can get set up to start making changes and adding new pages.
 
-### TL;DR
-Here's the quick version:
-1. Ask s00ner for an account on the [Gitea sever](https://git.doublehack.me).
-2. Fork the [repository](https://git.doublehack.me/s00ner/Baltimore-hackthebox-knowledgebase).
-3. Make your changes into your forked repository, commit them, push to the server.
-4. Submit a pull request to merge you changes into the upstream repository.

-# Add the Box to Your Hosts File
-
-It's common for Hack the Box machines to include web servers that respond differently to HTTP requests depending on if you're requesting the IP address directly, the hostname, or a sub-domain.
-(This is called [virtual hosting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_hosting)).
-For example, on the [Bucket](https://app.hackthebox.com/machines/Bucket) machine the webserver gives different responses for `http://10.10.10.212`, `http://bucket.htb`, and `http://s3.bucket.htb`.
-There is no DNS service on the HTB network so you have to use your [hosts file](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file)) to resolve host names into IP addresses.
-
-For the Bucket machine, we'd add the following line to `/etc/hosts`:
-
-`10.10.10.212    bucket.htb s3.bucket.htb`
-
-You can do this easily from the command line with `sudo nano /etc/hosts` use the nano text editor to add the line.
-To make sure it's working you can try `ping bucket.htb` and it should ping 10.10.10.212.
