Konzept

In the course "Offensive Security Lab: Building and Solving CTF Pentesting Challenges," we explore ethical hacking from a new perspective. In the first phase, course participants build their own intentionally vulnerable virtual machines based on capture the flag challenges (hack the box, tryhackme, etc.), which offer an interesting and challenging attack surface across various pentesting phases, taking into account interesting recent research and vulnerability findings.

In the second phase, the machines are made available to the other course participants as a challenge, who attempt to compromise them and find the respective flags. In the process, both the thought process and the procedure for solving the challenge are documented and formalized in the form of professional pentest reports and write-ups.
