Your first lab level 9

Question

What was the first level 9 lab you conquered? :).It does not matter that you will seek advice from other giants, or that you will manage to complete it on your own: share your journey with us!; to get the&nbsp;token or become root on that server.I start: I think that my first conquest of Lab level 9 is related to debugging ByteCode in Java (and only a few days ago!): my background is Oracle, and from years ago, so imagine how lost I was :).After loading the project into the IDE (along with the required plugin) I started debugging bit by bit... until one particular string caught my attention; it stood out from the rest!.And it was the solution :).Good luck!

I believe my first level 9 lab was 'Pen Test CTFs: Immersive Bakery', given that I just (this weekend) finished the last lab in Cyber Experts and earned my Cyber Experts Badge.These labs definitely require a lot of research outside of Immersive, reading through CVEs or other guides.

puuuh... according to the report it was an mini CTF lab. I started IL in October 2022 so took me some months to do it. I remember I quite stuck on the LightNeuron and Cereal Killer.

Audio Steganography was the first one - although not sure it's still available for me, so the first that's still available would be the MongoDB SQLi

Nice question Bluesman&nbsp;I have to echo Kieran's sentiment on my ability (I hope to be at level 9 some day!) but it's great to learn about your breakthrough to the most challenging labs! Would love to her from others, too.
