It's time to delve into the newly released content for November within Dedicated Labs. This month we feature 2 new Machines and 1 exclusive Machine Learning Challenge.

OpenAD

OpenAD is a Windows Machine that has a Hyper-V Linux machine running. The Linux part of Active Directory installed on the Host and has an Apache ActiveMQ instance running that is vulnerable to CVE-2023-46604.

Caving

Caving is a Linux Machine that showcases an account takeover vulnerability in Splunk, specifically CVE-2023-32707. A vulnerable Splunk server can be exploited by a low-privileged user, escalate your privileges, and accordingly execute commands on the server.

MIA

MIA is a Machine Learning Challenge showcasing a Membership Inference Attack on an image classifier trained on a small subset of the CIFAR-100 public dataset. With this being an active research topic, the problem can be approached in several ways. Which approach will you take?

Using write-ups is integral to learning or receiving guidance in your practice. This is why we have taken it further and mapped them to the MITRE ATT&CK and NICE framework within Dedicated Labs.

This addition to your write-up documentation will bridge the industry-relevant techniques, threats, and tactics to your hands-on practice. It will also provide insight into precise skills that you and your team can develop.

Admins can enable write-ups directly from the main settings with a simple toggle.

One of the most common expressions from HTB isit is always okay to use write-ups. This time, we have updated your library of guided material with a new set of write-ups for all Forensics Challenges within HTB Dedicated Labs.

Jump into any forensic Challenge and utilize write-ups to help you get unstuck or to guide you in understanding all the necessary steps to complete your labs successfully. Admins can enable write-ups as well as “Guided Mode” for a more assisted learning approach or let their team’s practice be completely exploratory.

Dive into your next forensics challenge and begin using write-ups to better support and grow your hands-on capabilities.

Shared by Dimi • November 14, 2023

With an ever-expanding library of modules within HTB Academy for Business, we understand the need for administrators to assign content relevant to their team's objectives. To enable admins to better assign content relevant to their team's technique practice, we have mapped all Modules to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

With the MITRE ATT&CK framework being the most universal, applicable knowledge base for adversary tactics and techniques and the easiest way to identify coverage regarding detection capabilities, we have tagged both offensive and defensive modules to their corresponding MITRE techniques.

Jump on HTB Academy for Business and explore the coverage within your lab.

Enhance digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) skills with Sherlocks.

Shared by jack • November 13, 2023

Sherlocks are defensive security practical labs simulating real-world incidents. You’ll be asked to conduct an investigation based on a provided cyber attack scenario and clues to unravel the dynamics behind them. By practicing with Sherlocks, individuals and organizations can grow their skills and knowledge on:

  • Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR)
  • Security Operations Center (SOC)
  • Threat Hunting and Threat Intelligence
  • Malware Analysis

Sherlocks follow a semi-guided learning approach: a set of questions will appear to lead the investigator in the correct direction, with a very similar interface as the newly introduced Guided Mode feature on Machines. While in Guided Mode, questions are meant to lead you through the scenario and get the flags, in Sherlocks, questions are the actual flags!

15 Sherlocks will be initially available entirely for free to all users: this will allow all platform members to experience a simulated incident investigation and familiarize themselves with a new type of practical labs. Read more about Sherlocks →
