Description
Limited availability in Q3 2025!
The PT02 Penetration Testing course is an advanced penetration testing course designed for students who have completed the VHL PT01 Penetration Testing course or possess equivalent skills through training or experience. Building on the foundations of PT01, the lab focuses on more complex attack scenarios, deeper exploitation techniques, and realistic IT environments to further sharpen your offensive security abilities.
The 3 month plan gives you 3 months access to the VHL Penetration Testing courseware and the Virtual Hacking Labs Pro Lab. The Virtual Hacking Labs Pro Lab environment consists of 27 lab machines and two network labs with a total of 9 machines. The course is accompanied by 250 pages of courseware that we will continue to expand in the coming period. The courseware covers subjects as pivoting & lateral movement, CSV injection, Pivoting and Active Directory Pentesting, Kerberoasting, Kerberos Delegation abuse and Golden & Silver Ticket attacks. A Certificate of Completion is available for completing 10 lab machines and the two network labs. The difficulty level of the course builds on the Advanced+ certificate of completion and is ideally suited for those who have obtained that certification.
The Lab
This lab environment includes 25+ single lab machines and 2 Network Labs that simulate a corporate environment based on Active Directory.
2 Network Labs
The two network labs are two independent environments simulating a corporate network environment. In these lab environments, you will find many different vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that you also find in real environments, as they are primarily based on what we encounter in practice. In the network labs, you will find a firewall, domain controller, web servers, and a client workstation. The second network lab also contains an application server that is included in the scenario. The goal of these network labs is not only to obtain domain administrator privileges but to identify as many vulnerabilities as possible using the leads & objectives.
The network labs will also be updated regularly to make it a rolling environment. This means that over time existing vulnerabilities may be patched and vulnerabilities introduced by new hosts, applications, and services.
Courseware
The VHL Pro Lab is accompanied by several courseware chapters totalling about 250 pages. Every student with a VHL Pro Lab membership has access to the courseware and the courseware that comes with the regular lab (lab access to the regular labs is not included).
Leads & Objectives
All lab machines and network labs are provided with Leads & Objectives to facilitate progress. This is similar to the hints for the beginner and advanced machines in the current lab, only here the focus is on steering students in the right direction by providing insight into the learning goal and targeted objectives.
VHL Advanced+ 2 Certificate of completion
The VHL Certificate of Completion Advanced+ 2 will be awarded to those who:
- – Achieve root/administrator/system access on at least 10 lab machines in the VHL Pro Lab;
- – Complete all objectives for Network Lab 01 and Network Lab 02;
- – Provide documentation showing the 10 completed pro lab machines;
- – Provide documentation showing completion of all objectives for Network Lab 01 & Network Lab 02.
