Build A Professional Practice Lab – 101

Table of Contents
General
- This page is supposed to be a collection of resources for building a lab for performing various security-related tasks. Generally, the idea is that you set up a local VM hypervisor software(VMware, Virtualbox) and then install a virtual machine to perform testing and analysis without any impact on your “physical” machine.
Virtual Machines
- 101
- VM Hypervisor Software
- Obtaining VMs
- Automated Lab/Machine Creation Tools
- Security Scenario Generator (SecGen)](https://github.com/cliffe/SecGen)
- SecGen creates vulnerable virtual machines so students can learn security penetration testing techniques. Boxes like Metasploitable2 are always the same, this project uses Vagrant, Puppet, and Ruby to create randomly vulnerable virtual machines that can be used for learning or for hosting CTF events.
- Detection Lab
- Vagrant & Packer scripts to build a lab environment complete with security tooling and logging best practices. This lab has been designed with defenders in mind. Its primary purpose is to allow the user to quickly build a Windows domain that comes pre-loaded with security tooling and some best practices when it comes to system logging configurations. It can easily be modified to fit most needs or expanded to include additional hosts.

- CyRIS: Cyber Range Instantiation System
- CyRIS is a tool for facilitating cybersecurity training by automating the creation and management of the corresponding training environments (a.k.a, cyber ranges) based on a description in YAML format. CyRIS is being developed by the Cyber Range Organization and Design (CROND) NEC-endowed chair at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST).
- DockerSecurityPlayground
- A Microservices-based framework for the study of Network Security and Penetration Test techniques
- VMs/Apps Designed to be Attacked
- List of VMs that are preconfigured virtual machines
- The Hacker Games – Hack the VM before it hacks you
- I have talked about counterattacks here before, and this system has implemented a number of aggressive anti-hacker measures. In fact, this VM is downright evil. I am probably legally obligated to tell you that it will try to hack you. So if a calculator or message declaring your pwnedness pops up or shows up on your desktop, you asked for it. But don’t worry, it won’t steal your docs or rm you, it will just demonstrate compromise for the game. To save precious bandwidth, this has been implemented in a minimal tinycore-based VM and will require VirtualBox to run.
- AWS
- AWS Well-Architected Security Labs – Amazon(Official)
- This repository contains documentation and code in the format of hands-on labs to help you learn, measure, and build using architectural best practices. The labs are categorized into levels, where 100 is introductory, 200/300 is intermediate and 400 is advanced.
- CloudGoat
- CloudGoat is Rhino Security Labs’ “Vulnerable by Design” AWS deployment tool. It allows you to hone your cloud cybersecurity skills by creating and completing several “capture-the-flag” style scenarios. Each scenario is composed of AWS resources arranged together to create a structured learning experience. Some scenarios are easy, some are hard, and many offer multiple paths to victory. As the attacker, it is your mission to explore the environment, identify vulnerabilities, and exploit your way to the scenario’s goal(s).

- OWASP Mutillidae II
- OWASP Mutillidae II is a free, open-source, deliberately vulnerable web application that provides a target for web security enthusiasts. Mutillidae can be installed on Linux and Windows using LAMP, WAMP, and XAMMP. It is pre-installed on SamuraiWTF and OWASP BWA. The existing version can be updated on these platforms. With dozens of vulnerabilities and hints to help the user; this is an easy-to-use web hacking environment designed for labs, security enthusiasts, classrooms, CTF, and vulnerability assessment tool targets. Mutillidae has been used in graduate security courses, corporate web security training courses, and as an “assess the assessor” target for vulnerability assessment software.
- Lambda
- lambhack
- A vulnerable serverless lambda application. This is certainly a bad idea to base any coding patterns on what you see here. lambhack allows you to take advantage of our tried and true application security problems, namely arbitrary code execution, XSS, injection attacks, and more. This first release only contains arbitrary code execution through the query string. Please feel free to contribute new vulnerabilities.

- Xtreme Vulnerable Web Application (XVWA)
- XVWA is a badly coded web application written in PHP/MySQL that helps security enthusiasts learn application security. It’s not advisable to host this application online as it is designed to be “Xtremely Vulnerable”. We recommend hosting this application in a local/controlled environment and sharpening your application security ninja skills with any tools of your own choice.
- Hackazon
- Hackazon is a free, vulnerable test site that is an online storefront built with the same technologies used in today’s rich client and mobile applications. Hackazon has an AJAX interface, strict workflows, and RESTful APIs used by a companion mobile app providing uniquely effective training and testing ground for IT security professionals. And, it’s full of your favorite vulnerabilities like SQL Injection, cross-site scripting, and so on.

- I’m a big fan of automation with tools such as Ansible, Vagrant and Terrorm now being put to regular use by me. Also, as a Red Team Operator I spend a lot of time modelling attacks up, trying new ideas out and generally keeping myself ‘sharp’. I wanted to create something that help me to scratch all of these itches. The research and development culminated in my BSides Belfast 2019 presentation: Offensive Ansible for Red Teams (Attack, Build, Learn).
- AWS
- Azure
- Disruption
- Disruption is a code for Terraform to deploy a small AD domain-based environment in Azure. The environment contains two domain controllers (Windows Server 2012), Fileserver + Web server (Windows Server 2019), Windows 7 client, Windows 10 client, and kali Linux machine. They are connected to the same subnet. Each windows machine has some packages being installing during deployment (the list can be viewed and modified here: chocolist). All the needed configurations (Domain creation, DC promotion, joining the machines to the domain and more are automated and part of the deployment. However, there are more improvments to be added (creating OUs, Users, and stuff like that. I’ll might get to it in the future, or, you will submit a pull request :))

- User Generation
- ADImporter
- When you need to simulate a real Active Directory with thousands of users you quickly find that creating realistic test accounts is not trivial. Sure enough, you can whip up a quick PowerShell one-liner that creates any number of accounts, but what if you need real first and last names? Real (existing) addresses? Postal codes matching phone area codes? I could go on. The point is that you need two things: input files with names, addresses etc. And script logic that creates user accounts from that data. This blog post provides both.

- sheepl
- sheepl is a tool that aims to bridge the gap by emulating the behaviour that people normally undertake within a network environment. Using Python3 and AutoIT3 the output can be compiled into a standalone executable without any other dependancies that when executed on an Windows endpoint, executes a set of tasks randomly over a chosen time frame.
