Labs Live: Maze Challenge
Event details
# This was recorded on 19th August 2025.
SabrinaKayaci will be guiding you through Advanced CTF Challenge: Improbable Maze, the first challenge in our latest CTF collection.
StefanApostol will then walk through Introduction to Active Directory Attacks: Domain Passwords, which will prepare you for one of the upcoming Maze Labs, Blood Maze (yes, it is as sinister as it sounds!)
In the first lab, what seems impossible at first turns out to be merely improbable. The maze blocks your path to the goal, but there’s a subtle flaw you can exploit with the right tools. Your task is to look beneath the surface: analyze how your moves are handled behind the scenes and use that insight to make the improbable probable. Can you capture the flag by thinking beyond the obvious?
In the third lab, you’ll face another maze. At first glance, this one looks abandoned, with its secrets buried beneath layers of time and access controls. Your task is to break through these forgotten barriers: enumerate users, gain a foothold, and uncover secrets using classic offensive tools. Dig deep, analyze everything, and piece together what the years have obscured. Can you awaken the maze and capture its ancient flag?
Improbable Maze is rated difficulty level five, and Blood Maze is rated an eight. As this collection is designed to push your skills, the labs offer minimal guidance, and there are no hints or tips available. Be sure to join the session for expert advice and the opportunity to play along. This is your chance to get a strong start and gain a competitive edge.

I’m effectively blue team in my role, I've really enjoyed working through some of the maze challenges, but I’d still consider myself a novice though, would this still be suitable for me to attend?

I'd say it's very suitable for you to attend. Our lab designers will give interesting insights into the lab, and red-team activities are always useful for blue-teamers to know. How are you getting on with the Maze labs?

May I please hijack this to ask if any kind person could please help with the serial lab challenge? I can't seem to find the valid token. I've tried curl, headers, cookies, browser console - none of that worked. What am I doing wrong, please?😞
