Overview

This project showcases offensive and defensive workflows side-by-side. Each lab demonstrates an attack technique followed by practical detection and mitigation steps—highlighting both attacker mindset and defender tradecraft.

Labs

Lab 1 — SSH Brute Force Attack

Simulates brute forcing SSH, then detecting the attack and hardening to resist future attempts.

Lab 2 — Successful Brute Force Login

Examines what happens after compromise, including detection of unauthorized access and recovery steps.

Lab 3 — Privilege Escalation

Exploits a deliberate binary misconfiguration to escalate privileges, with detection and remediation.

Lab 4 — Persistence

Demonstrates one method to maintain access, plus ways to detect and evict it.

Objectives

  • Hands-on Demonstrations: Clear, step-by-step attack and defense scenarios.
  • Educational Insights: Explanations of techniques and mitigations per lab.
  • Presentation of Findings: Wrap-up reporting in a professional format.
