Lab Scoreboard

Lab Walkthrough Video:


IMPORTANT: Please read carefully before starting the lab

CTF Scenario:

  • This lab is dedicated to you! No other users are on this network :) 
  • Once you start the lab, you will have access to a Kali terminal based instance.
  • Your Kali has an interface with IP address 192.X.Y.2. Run "ip addr" to know the values of X and Y.
  • The target server should be located at the IP address 192.X.Y.3.
  • The target server has 3 user accounts of interest: root, www-data and webadmin
  • Do not attack the gateway located at IP address 192.X.Y.1 
  • We have also installed additional tools under the folder /root/tools. These might come in handy during this or other CTFs on AttackDefense.

Technical Support for this Lab:

There is a reason we provide unlimited lab time: you can take as much time as you need to solve a lab. However, we realize that sometimes hints might be necessary to keep you motivated!

We currently provide technical support limited to:

  • Giving hints for a lab exercise
  • In rare circumstances, if you have totally given up (NO!!!) then tell you how to solve it. This will be limited to sharing the solution video or lab report
  • A lab exercise fails to load or has errors in it

If you need technical support, please email  attackdefense@pentesteracademy.com  clearly mention the name and link of the lab exercise and other essential details. The more descriptive you are, the faster we can help you. We will get back to you within 24 hours or less.
