In this series, you'll be instructed on how to apply your hacking skills and tools to successfully scan, enumerate, access, and escalate privilege against multiple purposely vulnerable, virtual machines(VM). Each VM will present similarities and differences, offering unique challenges that your tools and techniques will need to be applied to overcome. This practical experience can be useful for those looking to obtain certifications such as EC-Council's Certified Ethical Hacker(C|EH), CompTIA's Pentest+, Offensive-Security Certified Professional(OSCP), etc.
