Dynamic Attack Paths and Labs
In the Offensive Development Practitioner Certification (ODPC) – Live Training, you will engage in real-time, hands-on lab environments that simulate real-world offensive operations. Throughout the two-day course, instructors will walk you through each step of the attack paths and help you refine your techniques.
Lab Setup Overview
The lab setup includes a dynamic environment that mirrors real-world red team operations. The diagram represents the structure of the attack simulation, including:
- Cobalt Strike C2 Server: The main command and control server for your red team activities, which you will configure with instructor guidance.
- Windows Development Server: This server serves as your environment for developing and testing offensive payloads, with instructors providing insights on best practices.
- Linux Attack Server: Used to launch attacks and manage offensive operations.
- Multiple EDR-Protected Hosts: Attempt to bypass next-generation EDR systems and deliver your payloads while maintaining persistence.
Instructors will guide you through configuring this setup using Terraform in your AWS environment, providing insights into how these components interact in a real-world scenario.
