HTB Machine Initialization

A small Python script to automate the setup of a lab machine (e.g., HackTheBox). It creates a folder structure, adds the entry to /etc/hosts, and launches a VPN. Pressing Ctrl+C removes the added entry from /etc/hosts.

---

Usage

The script will ask for:

• The machine's IP address (e.g., 10.10.10.5)
• The machine's name (e.g., machine.htb)

What it does automatically:

• Creates /home/USER/HTB_<name_without_.htb> with subfolders nmap, exploit, and various.

• Adds the line IP name to /etc/hosts.

• Runs sudo openvpn <file>.ovpn.

• If you press Ctrl+C:

  • Stop the VPN.
  • Remove the entry added to /etc/hosts.
