💻🔐 Study Group Announcement - Offensive Cybersecurity Lab Chosen! 💻🔐

You may have heard that we're launching a  Study Group within the community. And for the first time, the votes are in, and we’re diving into Offensive Cybersecurity for our very first Study Group 🖥️💥

This week, we’ll be exploring hands-on tactics in offensive cybersecurity in a safe, controlled environment, and the chosen lab is Hack Your First Web App: Ep.1 – Ozone Energy

How to get involved:

  1. Dive into the lab: Get started on the lab and challenge yourself to complete it by the end of the week.
  2. Join the discussion: Don’t forget to share your experiences, ask questions, and drop any tips or tricks you’ve picked up along the way in this forum discussion.
  3. Support each other: This is all about collaboration—whether you’re struggling with a concept or want to share an "aha" moment, jump into the conversation!

Remember, we’ll re-vote on Friday for next week’s lab, so stay engaged and help shape where this study group goes. Let’s learn together and level up our skills!

Every community member who has access to an Immersive license is welcome to join this study group. 

Happy hacking! 🔓💻

    Hi all, just completed this one over lunch. What a great little lab, briefing panel nailed this one in my opinion. Instructions were spot on, just take your time and go slow. Happy to assist anyone that gets stuck 🙂 Looking forward to completing the series!

    Just completed this for a bit of fun and, as always, its great to be able to test your skills out and use the instructions as a guide rail as needed. Whilst not one of the more challenging labs I think its great to see and do practical examples of XSS and command injection.

    How is everybody getting on?

    I'm pleased to say that I completed this lab within an hour or so last night. It's my first experience of Web App Hacking so it was nice to be guided by the hand up to a point, with just enough ambiguity that I had to make sure that I was doing things correctly.

    I've never used DirBuster before or exploited a XSS vulnerability so it was interesting to experience that first hand.

    What did you think?

    I just completed the lab! 🙌

    Coming in with limited experience, it took me around 45 minutes to finish. Initially, I didn’t receive the service message for the guardian host, but after re-running the task, I found it—I simply wasn’t looking in the right place!

    This was a great introductory lab for someone new to hacking web applications 

    I'm keen to learn from others on how they found this lab - does anyone have any tips, or hint requests? Additionally, would you like to see more of these types of labs in the Study Group, or something different in content and/or difficulty?
