About Course

You have never landed a shell. By the end of this course you will have done it six different ways — on a real target, from a Kali box that runs in your browser. Nothing to install. Just you, one vulnerable machine, and the moment it becomes yours.

What you get

  • A full lab in your browser — Kali plus a live target, nothing to install.
  • Your first shell, six different ways — six guided doors in, each a different kind of attack.
  • A real, verifiable certificate — capture six flags and earn Cover6: First Shell.
  • An Honors challenge — the box has ten ways in. Find the other four yourself for First Shell — Honors.
  • A 24-hour live lab, on your schedule.

The lab: one box, ten ways in

You are the newest member of a pentest team. It is the last day of the engagement, nothing has been popped yet, and the client gave you the go-ahead. Your target runs Metasploitable2, a deliberately vulnerable machine published by Rapid7 — here as your own private, legal copy to practice on.
