Welcome to HackerDNA Learning Lab 101

Your first step into ethical hacking and cybersecurity!

This lab is designed for beginners to explore the basics of ethical hacking and Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges in a safe and controlled environment.

  • Learn how to identify and interact with network services.
  • Understand the importance of using tools like Nmap for discovery.
  • Follow guided steps to uncover hidden information and solve challenges.

Note: The host will not respond to ping requests. This is normal behavior, so don't worry! Use your tools and skills to proceed.

In this lab, you will practice using tools and techniques to explore a target system. Remember:

  • Pinging the host will not work, so try alternative methods to gather information.
  • Use tools like Nmap to scan and understand the services running on the target.
  • Short video tutorials are available at each step to guide you through the process.

Important: You must start the lab first to unlock the questions and access the video tutorials. Make sure the lab is running before you begin exploring!

This lab is designed for learning purposes only. Take your time, experiment, and enjoy the experience!
