Welcome to my walkthrough repository for the OverTheWire Natas wargame. This repo contains solutions and step-by-step explanations for each level in the Natas series, serving as both a learning tool and a personal reference.

📘 What is Natas?

Natas is a web security wargame focused on server-side vulnerabilities, covering topics like:

• Basic HTTP authentication
• Source code analysis
• Directory traversal
• SQL injection
• Command injection
• and more…

📁 Structure

Each level has its own folder:

Inside each folder:

• solution.md contains a detailed explanation and steps taken to complete the level.
• Screenshots or code snippets may be included as needed.

💡 Goal

This is primarily a learning project. By writing these walkthroughs:

• I'm reinforcing my understanding of web security fundamentals.
• I'm practicing clear technical communication.
• I'm building a reference I and others can use.
