Summary

  • In a detailed post on Medium, experienced pentester Reju Kole shares their experience of completing Hack the Box’s Zephyr Pro Lab, which focuses on foundational Active Directory (AD) exploitation skills and includes 17 machines and 17 flags to capture.
  • Kole pays particular attention to the strengths and weaknesses of the lab, noting that while it lacks the complexity of other Red Team Pro Labs, making it more accessible, some of its elements, such as the requirement to rethink certain misconfigurations in unconventional ways, add an engaging element of creativity.
  • They also address the lab’s linearity, the lack of internal services, and the need for more comprehensive technical support, but concludes that Zephyr is a good option for those looking to improve their AD exploitation skills, although they may want to consider other Pro Labs afterwards.
