Hands-on labs
Hundreds of exercises in over 20 separate hands-on labs bring you up to speed with the latest threats to which your organization is most vulnerable. Practice penetration testing in our virtualized environment that simulates a full range of servers and services used in a real company. Learn how to compromise web servers, virtual machines, databases, routers and firewalls, and then put it all together in an unscripted evening Capture the Flag (CTF) exercise.
CTF exercises are an opportunity for you to practice your hacking skills in a real-world environment. Infosec sets up a mock company that you can freely attack without having to worry about damaging production systems. The purpose of the CTF exercises is to ensure you understand how to apply the skills you learned during the day to a real-world, ethical hacking scenario.
