I dont get it. Why not put a pc on your lan and try to hack that? What is the benefit to me here? How do i know that the 'labs' i am participating in are safe? Are they honeypots? or perhaps i am just being used in a covert plan to crowdsource an attack on a vic?

#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
I've been trying to learn infosec for a few years now with the eventual goal of either an offense/defense role. Plan to work on my OSCP next. I have a few basic questions please: 1. Aside from: linux cmds, nmap, metasploit, sqlmap, mimikatz, kali's well known tools - what other tools are often used by pen testers ? 2. How is MFA beaten in today's enterprises ? 3.

>>1. Aside from: linux cmds, nmap, metasploit, sqlmap, mimikatz, kali's well known tools - what other tools are often used by pen testers ? I think those + your typical scanners (Nessus, Nexpose, etc). One gap I know of, is proper organizational tooling.

#44I've been on HTB for 4 months. If you want to get into pentesting this is a very good resource. If you reach the "Pro Hacker" level you should be able to pass OSCP first try.

I mean you're kinda supposed to hack your way into getting an invite code...
No invitation needed, it's just the first puzzle.

#47For those that have been using the service and have actual pentesting experience, how applicable are the challenges to the real world? Similar challenges I took in the past seemed like fun games, but still games.
