Getting Started in the Lab Environment
Here are the initial instructions and explanation of the lab environment. Read this while your environment is busy creating itself from nothing. Yes, this violates physics; we know. How fun!

Challenge
Creating Payloads
You will create a default payload using msfvenom that produces a bind shell, a reverse shell, and an advanced Meterpreter shell. You will use them to gain access to a system and own it!

Challenge
Customization and Obfuscation of Payloads for Evasion
Examine a staged versus a stageless type of payload. You will explore the customization and obfuscation capabilities of msfvenom to allow you to change the port of the payload, encode the payload, and perform other changes that make it more difficult for endpoint protection systems to detect your code.
