Today's a big one! Throughout December we are unwrapping fresh content, celebrating this year’s successes, and gifting you with the tools and insight you need to be ready for 2025.
Lab of the Day
Every day we’re revisiting a standout lab from the past year—highlighting its impact and the skills it helped build, whilst also introducing you to the experts who built it.
Today's recommendation is Windows Hardening: Privilege Escalation, which was recommended by Lead Cyber Security Engineer Stefan Apostol who said:
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen Hardening labs out there and this lab was nice both to create and complete. During the lab users have to review a pentest report and apply fixes on Windows hosts, thus combining red and blue team skills. It also gave us the opportunity to create the Windows verifier, a script which automatically verifies tasks when users complete them.
The authors were NatSilva and I. We decided to create this collection for two reasons, clients requests for remediation content, but also, to combine our individual skills into one and create content that would benefit both red and blue sides.” #armyoftwo
Event of the Day
Later today BenMcCarthy and benhopkins (or just Ben2 for short) two of the experts from our CTI team will reveal what it takes to make a lab, some of their favourites from 2024 and what is to come from the CTI team in a live community webinar.
You also have the opportunity to pre-submit questions here so you can ensure that you leave with all of the information you need!
It’s not too late to register. Christmas jumpers are encouraged.
