Challenge
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
Scanning using PowerShell
In this challenge you will need to create PowerShell code on a corporate machine to scan for and discover computer systems on the corporate network. You will perform port scanning Windows and Linux machines, with Powershell code within a lab simulating scanning within an enterprise. This will demonstrate how to use the built in Powershell capability available on common Windows operating systems to be able to perform customized security actions. This will help you and your organization protect critical machines in a repeatable way.
Challenge
Enumeration using PowerShell
In this challenge you will need to create PowerShell code on a corporate machine to enumerate for and discover computer systems details remotely on the corporate network. You will perform enumeration activities on the Windows machine, with Powershell code within a lab simulating the enumeration phase to collect system information. This will demonstrate how to use the built in Powershell capability available on common Windows operating systems to be able to collect valuable system information to better understand the network and system, to improve the chance of red team system compromise, a later phase of red team pen testing activities.
