The block that (some of) you have been waiting for is here: Intro to Red Teaming!
You're finally ready to get hands on with services directly used in corporate networks like Active Directory and the LAMP/LEMP stack, and everyone's favorite "hacker tool": nmap. These are also the most common services in CCDC and represent majority of the attack surface for the Red Team.
During this block, you will build understanding of servers, services, and internet infrastructure through the setup and configuration of Apache and nginx servers. You will also sharpen your command line skills with TryHackMe modules :D
