Lab catalog
Built around tasks, boundaries, and technical documentation
Labs are designed to be useful practice, not vague challenges. Every exercise should have a scope, a task, and a takeaway.
Traffic AnalysisBeginner
Packet Trail
Trace suspicious DNS and HTTP traffic in a beginner packet capture set.
Open the provided capture, identify suspicious domains, isolate the user action, and document your findings in a short incident note.
Web SecurityBeginner
Burp Entry Lab
Inspect login requests, hidden fields, and validation behavior in a safe training app.
Proxy the requests, replay the login flow, inspect server-side responses, and explain where validation must happen.
Host AnalysisIntermediate
Windows Host Review
Review local artifacts, processes, and services on a sandboxed Windows scenario.
Check startup items, scheduled tasks, event patterns, and suspicious binaries in a guided forensic walkthrough.
