Whereas the OSCP material probably prepares you better for the AD part. its better than paying 15k-25k to go to a coding computer science bootcamp. I am trying to set up an AD lab where I can test and learn stuff. HTB has the track "Active Directory 101" which includes 10 AD-focused boxes. Additionally, there is an AD path on HTB where the first 3-4 machines are easy rated. A lot of the skills and techniques I learnt also helped me in HTB's Offshore (also recommended) Once you get to the active directory machine i gave up starting point and started on the htb easy machines. Not even able to find many resources on the HTB site on how to setup. 500 organizational unit concept, which was the earliest version of all directory systems created by Novell and Lotus and released in 1993 as Novell Directory Services. i am trying to rdp the target system for the AD administration guided lab in the introduction to active directory module. Sadly often there are ones that contain weaknesses that just don't happen in the real world like login info hiding in a text document on a website or samba share, or having to decode a secret HTB Academy is 100% educational. THM is more effort (it’s harder) but worse for learning because you learn then forget. Good luck! Second the LinkedIn and HTB stuff. All the material is rewritten. I need something like portswigger but the limitation is that it also covers real examples of around 40 vulnerabilities, the medium and the simple labs are just give you an understanding. The material is okayish. should i get my hands dirty by solving boxes in HTB main like Dante, Offshore, Zephr etc. I like HTB Academy, but definitely felt like it was made more for people that already have a foundation in this world. Do you have lab-time left? Once you've completed those paths, try out HTB Academy. No CVEs, no bug bounties, no full time work experience, no certs, just HTB. I did take about 50% of his PEH course before eJPT, and so to more directly answer your questions. It like 20 as expensive as a years subscription at HTB academy :/ just the exam is twice as expensive as years subscription. Take solid notes of each step (Onenote helps) What does xyz do, what is the command, what is the output, what am I looking for in the output. e. I don't want to buy any additional lab time because I find Offsec's pricing model a bit bogus. Then by September, choose whether you continue doing more practice like TJNulls list before your exam. Even if the course is more "read and practice" than a bootcamp. If you can afford the learn-one subscription and can put in long hours, then go for it. ), then VPN into HTB. ) If you build your own, theres a free AD lab generator that was designed by the guys who built bloodhound. /r/MCAT is a place for MCAT practice, questions, discussion, advice, social networking, news, study tips and more. First, I suggest building a foundation knowing what AD is. the hardware environment on htb is probably strained to the max. Your point about needing to reset the AD set is worrying too. Hello , ive been active on htb for about a year and i have achieved 60+ machines rooted and Elite Hacker rank. As you'd expect, the course dives head first into AD and covers setting up your own lab, attacking and practicing in your lab, and brief discussions on how to prevent each attack covered. So, basically easy and some medium levels. They provide different packages of lab access from 30 to 90 days (250$ - 500$). Don't try to do them by yourself until you are comfortable with the material. Tryhackme is more a hands-on tutorial. However, I had a discussion with a friend who got the OSCP earlier and he told me the PEN200 course is nothing like HTB. The path has been going great - some skills assessment labs are pretty challenging but nothing I've found discouraging. Dec 31, 2024 · But I did A LOT of Windows/AD boxes on HTB and PG. 5 and lower to be about where OSCP boxes are. RIP Maybe it’s just the AD stuff I’m a bit hung up. I laid out all the THM/HTB resources I used as well as a little sample methodology that I use. With time being a scarce resource, I think priority should go to 1) the challenge labs and practice exams, 2) PG Practice machines, then 3) the HTB machines and PG Play. THM's course then is really where I will really speak then. In terms of difficulty or scale, which is more difficult the CPTS exam or HTB Pro Labs like Dante, Zephyr, Rasta & Offshore. I have a few friends who purchased 2022 and got a chance to experience 2023 content before their lab end. You NEED to learn tunneling, AD with tunneling well. The Active Directory Enumeration module which has 100 hours of content is $10. Learnone would probably be excessive, when you pass do a write up, curious on how you compare the two. You'll spend a lot of time crafting payloads to bypass Defender. There are exercises and labs for each module but nothing really on the same scale as a ctf. Did all the exercises and most of the labs. Not only because it's 5 times cheaper, but also provides Starting Points machines plus over 150 retired machines with official write-ups. g Active Directory basics, attackive directory) Given that the OSCP exam now features an AD chain, Dante offers a great opportunity to learn and practice your AD pentesting. Not sure if HTB CPTS is required. Tldr: learn the concepts and try to apply them all the time. 5 to be what you should review. If you mean before you do Dante I would say there is more familiarization with topics and having your own set of TTPs. wzux fqwxcq bynml huu mxh gov onpgmf zjhzaeg hrlc rayttx alzpkarg iucnx foxktf fsdhbfh smc
