Run real campaigns, not isolated exercises. Build infrastructure, defeat modern defenses, and deliver reports clients trust. ARTOC teaches how to plan, deploy, and execute full spectrum red team operations using Cobalt Strike and Havoc C2, multi layered redirectors, cloud based traffic redirection, kernel and user mode evasion, Active Directory exploitation, ADCS abuse, and modern AV and EDR bypass inside a private multi cloud lab environment.
The Advanced Red Team Operations Certification validates the ability to conduct end to end red team engagements using modern tooling and infrastructure.
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
All students are onboarded into the White Knight Labs student portal where all certification content is delivered in Markdown format.
The student portal provides:
Students control infrastructure just as during a real engagement. The portal enforces only student defined guardrails.
The opening phase of ARTOC focuses on building resilient Command and Control infrastructure before any attack against the stigs.corp environment begins. Students construct a multi layered C2 architecture designed to survive real defensive monitoring.
The setup includes:
Once validated, students use this exact infrastructure to attack the stigs.corp environment, mirroring real workflows.
The ARTOC lab mirrors real client networks and supports full red team operations using industry standard frameworks.
Includes:
Students execute campaigns, not checklists.
ARTOC is built around technologies encountered during live assessments.
These targets reflect environments that challenged White Knight Labs operators on real engagements.
ARTOC is intentionally demanding.
Students will experience:
Completion demonstrates the ability to:
Most red team training teaches individual techniques. Real engagements require infrastructure design, tradecraft decisions, and adaptation when defenses respond. ARTOC teaches operators how to run engagements end to end using the same workflows used by White Knight Labs on client operations.

A sample video is available to provide a sneak peek into the certification course structure.
All course material is delivered through the student portal. For transparency, students may download the Table of Contents to review the scope of topics covered prior to enrollment.
Hands on training across:
Every major lab was derived from techniques and problems encountered during White Knight Labs operations.
Most training teaches how to use a tool. ARTOC teaches how to run an engagement when tools stop working. Students build infrastructure first, then operate against defenses that actively resist. Success requires adaptation, not memorization.
The exam is performance based inside the lab.
Students must:
On demand certification.

My name is Uday, i’m 17 and i started cybersecurity from absolute zero about 1yr ago. No prior background, just picked it up and started grinding. In that 1yr i’ve completed 120+ labs on HackTheBox, finished 10 prolabs including the mini prolabs, and cleared my CRTP. All of that from scratch in under a year. Red teaming is pretty much all i’ve focused on since day one.
ARTOC is a proper course for anyone serious about red teaming. The lab setup alone puts it ahead of most things out there and the redirectors content is some of the best practical stuff i’ve come across. It’s not perfect, a bit more maldev would’ve been nice, but for a one time payment with lifetime labs it’s hard to argue with.
I’m Jay, a student exploring the offensive security space with a focus on Red Teaming and malware development. I spend my time studying detection mechanisms, researching evasion concepts, and learning how modern security products operate under the hood.
Yes this course is 100% worth of investment because the course content you will see here is excellent and realistic and the lab is also very good and you will get lifetime access to the lab which is the best part having Cobalt Strike and commercial EDR. Thank You for reading the whole review. If you are going to do this course All The best !
Myself Ayush Singh, aka Hexora. I got into cybersecurity right after completing my 12th grade. In my early days, I spent most of my time on HackTheBox and VulnLab, just grinding through machines and pro labs. I mostly focused on Windows boxes because I really enjoy Active Directory work. Nothing fancy-just someone who loves the grind and always wanted to go deeper.
This course changed how I think about red teaming — not just the techniques, but the whole operational mindset around infrastructure, OPSEC, and working against real defensive tooling. The one-time payment with lifetime lab access and a live Cobalt Strike license in the environment is genuinely hard to beat.
Let me be upfront about where I am coming from. Before enrolling in ARTOC I had already completed CRTP, OSCP, CPTS, CRTO, and CRTL. I was not looking for an intro to red teaming. I was looking for something that would actually challenge me and show me something I had not seen before. ARTOC delivered on that.
I have done five well-regarded red team certifications before this one and ARTOC still found ways to teach me something new in almost every module. The infrastructure depth, the kernel content, the live EDR targets, AdaptixC2 coverage, and the way the whole course is structured around operational thinking rather than isolated techniques, it all adds up to something genuinely different.
My name is Vikram Pawar, also known as localh0ste. I am currently a student with a strong passion for Offensive Security, particularly Red Teaming, Adversary Simulation, and Tradecraft Development. Over the years, I have dedicated countless hours to building hands-on skills through lab environments, penetration testing engagements, CTF development, security research, and industry-recognized training programs.
After going through the course material and labs, I can confidently say that ARTOC is absolutely worth the investment for the right audience.
If your goal is to develop a deeper understanding of Command and Control (C2) infrastructure, traffic redirection, cloud-based Red Team operations, and maintaining strong Operational Security (OPSEC) throughout an engagement.

I’m Rushikesh, 18. I got into cybersecurity because I genuinely enjoy it, not because of some career plan. Spent a lot of time on HackTheBox and VulnLab just doing machines and pro labs, mostly focused on Active Directory stuff. Nothing fancy, just someone who loves the grind and wanted to keep going deeper.
