Lab Update: 68 FED V2

Today we’ve updated lab machine 68 FED to V2 on all the Virtual Hacking Labs lab environments as part of the VHL 2022 Lab Refresh. The V2 version of this Advanced+ level lab machine is now available on all lab environments and the lab dashboard.

What has changed?

The original Fed lab machine has been around for a while at the Virtual Hacking Labs platform and could therefore use an update. For this lab machine we have updated the OS to mitigate vulnerabilities in the operating system and also a few vulnerabilities that affect a large number of Linux distros. The intended exploitation path for a foothold and for privilege escalation are also updated for this machine.

What about the VHL Certificate of Completion?

It does not matter which version you submit in your report for the VHL Advanced+ Certificate of Completion, this can be the old version 1 or the new version 2 of FED. If you have already completed the old version of this lab machine you can complete it again if you like, but this is not mandatory.
