RastaLabs
RastaLabs is a virtual red team simulation environment, designed to be attacked as a means of learning and honing your engagement skills. The focus of the lab is operating within a Windows Active Directory environment where players must gain a foothold, elevate their privilege, be persistent and move laterally to reach the goal of Domain Admin. The lab features a combination of attacking misconfigurations and simulated users. Prior experience is not strictly required to beat the lab, but it will be a steep learning curve!
Offshore
Offshore is an Active Directory lab which simulates the look and feel of a real-world corporate network. Users start from an external perspective and have to penetrate the “DMZ” and then move laterally through the CORP.LOCAL, DEV, ADMIN and CLIENT forests to complete the lab. It was designed to appeal to a wide variety of users, everyone from junior-level penetration testers to seasoned testers as well as infosec hobbyists. Players will pick up at least a few new tricks which can be immediately applied to real-world engagements.
Cybernetics
Cybernetics is a Windows Active Directory lab environment that has gone through various real-world penetration testing engagements in the past and therefore incorporates fully-upgraded operating systems with all patches applied, which have also been greatly hardened against attacks. The objective of the lab is to operate within a Windows Active Directory environment where players must gain a foothold, elevate their privileges, gain persistence on the network and move laterally to reach the end goal of Domain Admin.

Dante
Dante is a modern, yet beginner-friendly Pro Lab that provides the opportunity to learn common penetration testing methodologies and tools. This Penetration Tester Level I lab teaches information gathering and situational awareness, privilege escalation, buffer overflows, helps you to gain familiarity with the Metasploit Framework, and much more! Upon breaching the perimeter, you are required to explore the network, moving laterally and vertically, until you gain administrative control over all hosts and reach domain admin.
