A Vagrant and Ansible managed virtual network of five VirtualBox VMs: an Xubuntu attacker machine with common pentest tools and four Windows Server 2019 machines with deliberately vulnerable services in an Active Directory domain. It serves as a standalone practice lab and companion environment for the book The Art of Network Penetration Testing.

Use cases

• set up a local active directory pentest lab
• practice network penetration testing safely
• learn to exploit vulnerable windows servers
• build a hacking practice environment with vagrant
• follow along with a penetration testing book
• test metasploit and impacket against a lab network

When to choose

• you want a ready-made, scriptable vulnerable AD lab without manual VM setup
• you are following The Art of Network Penetration Testing
• you have the hardware (ideally 16GB RAM) and VirtualBox/Vagrant/Ansible installed

When to avoid

• you need a maintained, production-grade security tool rather than a learning lab
• your machine has limited RAM or no VirtualBox support
• you need cloud-based or containerized lab environments instead of local VMs
