We are diving into the Matrix today. Whiterabbit is a machine that tests your patience with enumeration and rewards you with a satisfying chain of lateral movements. From subdomain hunting to reverse engineering custom binaries, this box forced me to dig deep into my toolkit.

Phase 1: Recon & Fighting the Noise
I started where I always do: Nmap. I needed to know what doors were open.
nmap -p- -sC -sV 10.10.11.63
Note (Port 2222?)
I saw standard web ports, but also port 2222 (SSH), which usually hints at a container or a specific user entry point.
