Cereal 1 - VulnHub

Difficulty: Medium… This is simply a learning step which everyone at some point crosses. This box is probably hard though – it’s certainly not for beginners. I hope you learn something new. Take your time. Have patience. And take time to learn about the environment once you pop the initial shell.

Hacker Kid - VulnHub

Difficulty: Easy/Medium (Intermediate) This box is OSCP style and focused on enumeration with easy exploitation.The goal is to get root.No guessing or heavy bruteforce is required and proper hints are given at each step to move ahead.

Awkward - HackTheBox

Difficulty: Medium… The machine presents several technical challenges, including web application enumeration, exploiting an SSRF vulnerability, obtaining credentials and privilege escalation. Overall, ‘Awkward’ is a challenging machine that requires a combination of enumeration, research, scripting and exploitation skills to complete successfully.

Squashed - HackTheBox

Easy-level machine, a quiet interesting machine that is actually realistic. Squashed abuses a couple of NFS shares in a nice introduction to NFS.

Tr0ll 1 - VulnHub

Tr0ll was inspired by the constant trolling of the machines within the OSCP labs. The goal is simple, gain root and get Proof.txt from the /root directory. Not for the easily frustrated! Fair warning, there be trolls ahead!

Presidential 1 - VulnHub

Your goal is to see if you can gain root access to the server – the state is still developing their registration website but has asked you to test their server security before the website and registration system are launched.
