I am a [private] of Hack The Box Ltd. and am authorized to request DMCA takedowns on their behalf.
Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed. If possible, include a URL to where it is posted online.
The original work is a hands-on penetration testing lab that we created. It is a piece of proprietary educational content used to help train penetration testers. Both the specific mechanism of function for these labs, as well as the solutions for how they can be solved, are our intellectual property. Here are some of the labs that have been published which are having their copyright violated.

What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository’s URL.
This is not a piece of code, but rather a whole website with writeups hosted on the above GitHub repository which contains the proprietary solutions to our lab environment. It is a step-by-step guide of exactly how to solve the labs. This includes both confidential information about the internals of the lab environments as well as precise solutions.
As we are an educational/training content provider, the document linked above directly infringes upon our copyrighted intellectual property.
The user has a hackthebox folder in his repo where he publishes the writeups for active content, which you can find here: https://github.com/GatoGamer1155/gatogamer1155.github.io/tree/main/hackthebox
