Hacking a hospital bill from the inside
The bill in your hand reads $47,000. You're a certified ethical hacker, top 1% on HackTheBox, winner of three college CTFs, and currently employed at a coffee shop. You cannot afford this. You flip the bill over. The hospital's web portal URL is printed right there at the bottom - like an invitation. Your laptop is open. The ward is quiet. Somewhere in that server is proof that the billing system confused you with some rich guy who shares your name. All you have to do is get in, find the records, and fix this before morning rounds. How hard could it be?

Will roast anyone without hesitation - doctors, nurses, hospital security, God himself. 9 College friend of Guest whose mouth is both his greatest weapon and biggest liability.
The ward is dim and quiet at 1:47 AM. A faint blue glow from a laptop screen cuts through the curtain around bed number four.
Footsteps stop outside. A clipboard clicks against the door frame.
Rowena pulls the curtain back two inches, one eyebrow raised.
You're supposed to be sleeping. Why is your screen showing... is that a terminal window?
Your phone buzzes on the mattress. A message from Drix lights up the screen.
Drix: ok so i found the hospital subdomain lol its literally admin.mericare-hospital.net and the login page has SQLi written all over it bro 💀 also my cat just unplugged my ethernet brb
