Build initial Privileged Escalation website

- Add responsive HTML landing page with hero section and resource cards - Create professional CSS styling with dark theme and mobile-responsive design - Set up GitHub Pages configuration with Jekyll _config.yml - Add comprehensive README with project overview and setup instructions - Configure .gitignore for Jekyll and common development files The website serves as an educational hub for understanding privilege escalation techniques, vulnerabilities, and defense strategies. GitHub Pages is ready to serve the site immediately upon enabling in repository settings. Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
