Hacking Enterprises – 2021 Edition

Course Description

This is an immersive hands-on course aimed at a technical audience. Over 3 days we will fully compromise a simulated enterprise covering a multitude of TTP’s. The  training is based around modern operating systems, using modern techniques and emphasising the exploitation of configuration weaknesses rather than throwing traditional exploits. This means logical thinking and creativity will definitely be put to the test.

Students will access a cloud-based LAB configured with multiple networks, some easily accessible, others not so. Course material and exercise content has been designed to reflect real-world challenges and students will perform numerous hands-on exercises including executing exploitative phishing campaigns against our simulated users to gain access to new networks, in turn bringing new challenges including IPv6 exploitation, subverting AMSI and AWL, passphrase cracking, pivoting, lateral movement, OOB persistence mechanisms and much more!

We also like to do things with a difference. You’ll be provided access to an in LAB Elastic instance, where logs from all targets get pushed and processed. This allows you, whether an attacker or defender, to understand the types of artefacts your attacks leave and how you might catch or be caught in the real world.

We realise that training courses are limited for time and therefore students are also provided with the following:

  • Completion certificate
  • 14-day extended LAB access after the course finishes
  • 14-day access to a CTF platform with subnets/hosts not seen during training!
  • Discord support channel access where our security consultants are available
