Review of Altered Security's - Windows Red Team Lab

These are my personal opinions based on my background and training experience.



Course


Review written : Unknown... but at the time when the class was offered through PentesterAcademy

Course Format:

This course is online.


Course Materials:

This course materials included videos as well as slides and slide notes.


Class size:

The videos and slides are taken offline and are just for you.


Lab Environment

The lab environment is shared with other students. I don't recall the exact number of other student machines in the lab environment I was in.


Estimated cost:

At the time of this review, the course prices were listed as follows (Check the web site for actual prices!)

30 Days $299.00 USD
60 Days $499.00 USD
90 Days $699.00 USD



My motivation:


I signed up for this class with the objective of learning PowerShell tools, and ended up learning so much more.


Review:

This course will provide you an environment with which to practice movement within an Active Directory domain and forest, and a whole lot more. Plus, if you do like I did and sign up for this course first, you will get access to a PDF and videos and can learn a lot from them. And all the skills taught are critical skills when performing a Red Team assessment.



The course:

I didn't make a ton of progress in the Red Team lab, although I did accomplish what I set out to do and that was learn. I spent a whole lot of time watching the videos and then moving to the recommended PentesterAcademy videos. I spent a lot of time running through PowerView commands, and PowerUpSQL commands. I got fascinated by the MSSQL stuff and ended up burning up most of my time. I don't feel it was a loss to not do all the challenges and capture all the flags, but I do feel the 30 days helped me a lot.



Misc:

I didn't have any troubles with the servers while doing the labs, but I did make a mistake with my jump box (the box you start on) and had to e-mail support. They were quick to get back to me, and quick to help resolve the issue (even though the problem was caused by me).

I will also say, the tools and data I had on my jump box were there the entire time, which is a huge time saver.


The Exam:

The exam started pretty early, at my request, and I started out pretty steady.

More info possibly coming to this review!



My two cents:

While I didn't get as much from my lab time as I would have liked, the exam was amazing.
