Today we’re happy to announce that we’ve added the last new machine for 2017 to the virtual hacking labs. The machine is named ‘PM’, is rated as an Advanced+ machine and is available on all lab environments as we speak. Lab machines in the Advanced+ category are specifically aimed at those who have completed the beginner and regular advanced machines and seek a challenge in some harder machines without hints.

We also appreciate the positive feedback we’ve got from both groups.
Read moreToday we have finally launched the Virtual Hacking Labs for the public! After almost a year of hard work we can offer our students a full self paced penetration testing course that includes lab access to 30 machines that are vulnerable by design. All lab machines have been carefully developed by us in such way that they contribute to a specific learning experience. Learn about exploiting SMB vulnerabilities, SQL injection, SNMP enumeration, code analysis, reverse shells and Metasploit in the courseware and practice techniques in the Virtual Hacking Labs.
