All right, so this is what it looks like when you're signed into the box.
Now I have a VIP account, so I've got a few more options than you.
But essentially, you know, first you have an introduction to the box here.
You can click this for first time or you can get an introduction to how to sign into the the hack,
the backslaps.
You know, you basically install a VPN client on your machine, but with the VPI, the VIP access,
you don't even need to do that.
You can actually just access the machine through your browser, which tells you how to play with the
machines.
And then if you scroll over to the right, tells you how to play the challenges.
So if you look at the labs, you can click on machines.
And what I like to do is I like to go to retired machines.
And then what I'll do is I'll change the filter.
So we're doing windows prevents escalation, so we're going to pick windows
and then we can sort by difficulty, we can look at only the easy machines if you're just getting started.
And so then what you do is you just expand this down here and you can look at all the easy windows boxes,
right.
Legacy, devel, optimum.
And the cool thing about this is, for example, if I click Legacy, I get a bunch of information about
it.
You know, how many people own the machine, as are the people that hacked it, you know, who actually
created it and how many how many users successfully escalated their privileges.
You scroll down, you can see I own this machine at this time.
User blood system.
Blood is the first person that actually owned it that got the user flag and also the system, the system
flag.
Once you get a shell in the box, you get the flag.
It's basically just a text file and you paste it into the platform.
And then it counted as credit and the same.
Once you escalate your privileges, you get the flag and you place it in as well.
So what you can do here is you can go to walk through and you can actually download a walk through or
you can look at a video tutorial.
Right.
So there's a bunch of different things you can do.
So to get started, you click on Dashboard like a VIP and then you go to subscriptions and you can see
I'm in the VIP plan.
What we can do here is we just go down and you would sign up here.
All right?
So just go and do that.
Sign up for the VIP subscription annual.
And, you know, once you do that, we will come back and we'll start looking at the tools that way
that we'll be using in this course.
