Basic Computer Exploitation

Strengthen your skills by exploiting a range of different applications and services, from networking to web to privilege escalation.

Time to put your newly minted skills to the test! In this module, you'll exploit some beginner level vulnerable machines by enumerating and gaining user level access, and then escalate your privileges to the highest user. From zero to root, we'll do it all here in preparation for moving onto the Offensive Pathway!

Vulnversity

Learn about active recon, web app attacks and privilege escalation.

Basic Pentesting

This is a machine that allows you to practise web app hacking and privilege escalation

Kenobi

Walkthrough on exploiting a Linux machine. Enumerate Samba for shares, manipulate a vulnerable version of proftpd and escalate your privileges with path variable manipulation.

Steel Mountain

Hack into a Mr. Robot themed Windows machine. Use metasploit for initial access, utilise powershell for Windows privilege escalation enumeration and learn a new technique to get Administrator access.

What are modules?

A learning pathway is made up of modules, and a module is made of bite-sized rooms (think of a room like a mini security lab).
