Looking to enhance your pen testing skills and take it to the next level?
Thomas over at De-ICE.net has just released the first disk in the more advanced “Level 2” set of Live PenTest LiveCD scenarios.
The Level 2 disks are designed to be much more difficult then the Level 1 disks. There are no spoilers or hints provided and it won’t be easy to exploit the system (as in Metasploit won’t help you here). It is up to you to figure out a way to hack into the system. Here is your scenario:
“The scenario for this LiveCD is that you have been given an assignment to test a company’s 192.168.2.xxx network to identify any vulnerabilities or exploits. The systems within this network are not critical systems and recent backups have been created and tested, so any damage you might cause is of little concern. The organization has had multiple system administrators manage the network over the last couple of years, and they are unsure of the competency previous (or current) staff.”
Setting up a lab to run the disks is really easy…you can use VMware (Player or Workstation) or two old PC’s with a router/switch/dhcp server. Your “attack” machine is the Backtrack security distribution LiveCD. Everything you need to hack the Level 2 disk is included on the Backtrack distribution.
Disk Download and More Information
Download the Level 2 disk from MegaUpload (this location will change once the initial rush is over).
