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
Identify Target Services
Gather information about running services that might offer the potential to gain an initial foothold in the target system.
Challenge
Vulnerability Discovery
Use the information gathered from system scanning to identify vulnerabilities that may provide an opportunity to gain an initial foothold in the target environment.
Challenge
Analyze Results
Review and analyze the information collected so far and prioritize the vulnerabilities that require further investigation based on their severity.
