"The VHL labs are a must for any infosec professional. They include real world scenarios and do a great job at pushing the student to advance their skills. This is done through manual exploitation and building a good foundation to develop your own pen-testing methodologies. I used the entire lab for OSCP prep and I am pleased with the results so far!
P.S I really did enjoy the real world scenarios over a CTF-ish environment."
"The Course is Awesome, labs are very stable and consistent simulate very well a real world. I learned a lot with the course material and lab machines, another thing all course content is covered in lab machines. Very recommended do this course."
"I signed up for 30 days, completed 19 machines, and then signed up for another 30 days to not only finish my last machine, but eventually earn the Advanced + certification. I could not be happier! I had zero technical issues with the labs and everything went as planned. I am now equivocally more prepared for OSCP PWK!"
"My journey in this program was of great learning. Every box has a teaching for students to learn. In the lab, I came across fully patched boxes that could only be compromised because of a vulnerable application. This is something that can be seen in the real world. The content of the material was solid and clear which is great for newcomers. With this clearness, I was able to understand topics that were for me to grasp.
Big thanks for this training!"
"My experience with VHL over the last month was truly amazing. I learned more in the last 31 days then I have in quite some time. The coursework was very informative and taught me a ton. The hands on experience I gained is invaluable and has opened my eyes to many new things. I hope to one day try some more labs and try for the Advanced+ certificate. Again, I am truly grateful and happy to have chosen VHL labs."

The Virtual Hacking Labs are for beginners and experts who want to learn and practice penetration testing in an easy accessible virtual lab environment. For anyone that is new to the subject of penetration testing we provide a tailored courseware manual that covers all subjects from the basics to help you with your first steps towards becoming a penetration tester. Seasoned experts will find challenges in our state of the art lab environment with vulnerable by design Windows, Linux & Android machines.
Yes, all VHL memberships include access to all aspects of our penetration testing course. This includes access to the courseware, online penetration testing lab, a personal reset panel and the lab dashboard that can be used for hints and progress tracking.
The virtual hacking labs PT01 labs contain over 50 custom vulnerable hosts to practice penetration testing techniques. The labs contain multiple Windows, Linux, Android machines with recently discovered vulnerabilities and older common vulnerabilities. We are constantly in the process of updating the labs with new machines vulnerable to recent discoveries.
In the VHL IoT Penetration Testing Essentials course we will get hands-on with pentesting IoT devices in the broadest sense. We will focus on security testing IoT hardware, firmware, software, serial protocols and various static and dynamic firmware analysis techniques. The course is broad in scope, but we will also go into depth on a number of topics, such as attacking firmware and reverse engineering with Ghidra.
No, the VHL IoT Penetration Testing Essentials course does not contain online labs. The practical assignments and case studies are performed on your own machine through our external LMS system.
Yes, there will be a practical examination for the VHL IoT Penetration Testing Essentials course. More information about this exam will be available soon on the website. There is also a Certificate of Completion for anyone that does not want to do the practical exam.
We are currently finishing the course materials and uploading them to the LMS. We expect the course to be available in April 2025. Sign up to the newsletter for discounts.
