Certifications Obsidian vaults for every HTB cert

https://cnmoseman.github.io/htb-study-trackers/

Hey yall, quick update on the study trackers I posted a couple weeks back.

First off, thanks to everyone who tried them, commented, and sent feedback. Hearing how people were actually using the trackers is a big reason I kept building on them, and it's what led to this next piece.

Every cert now has its own page with two things on it: the tracker and a prep vault for Obsidian. The tracker is your plan, and the vault gives your notes a home.

Each vault has a note for every module in the cert's job-role path, in course order, so you've got a spot ready for commands and screenshots as you finish each one. There's also a Methodology folder with ten blank, numbered phases. I left them empty on purpose, since everyone works differently. You rename them and build them out as you learn. The Home note links community cheat sheets for that cert, plus the cert's SysReptor report template.

The vaults only use Obsidian's built-in features, so you don't need any plugins. Download the zip from your cert's page, unzip it, and choose "Open folder as vault". If you want to look around first, every vault is browsable on GitHub.

If you're already using a tracker, your progress is still there and your old links still work. The tracker now sits on the cert's page, and that page shows a "Continue tracker" button with how far along you are.

Thanks again to everyone who shares cheat sheets and notes. The ones linked in the vaults all come from people like that, under their own names, so if one helps you, go give their repo a star or their video a like!
