LainKusanagi list of OSCP like machines

>Whoami>What is this list for
3
-Before and while doing PEN 200 course and after failing my first attempt I completed multiple machines in multiple hacking platforms.
-I did all the PEN 200 course along with all the challenge labs that where introduced in the 2023 version of the PEN 200 (including the challenge lab network other people skip).
-I failed my first attempt with 60 points and then passed my second attempt with 90 points. I experienced completely different exam sets in each attempt.
-I also did the challenge labs added on October 2024 before my learn one subscription ended.
-All of this experience gave me a good sense of what is OffSec style of boxes and what is important to know in the exam

-This is a list of machines I consider good for practice before doing the PEN 200 course, challenge labs and OSCP exam however this is not a replacement for the actual course and I recommend you to go through all of the course, exercises and challenges before attempting the exam.
-The machines in this list where selected because either they teach important techniques and concepts found in the course and labs, have similar style to machines made by offsec or where in a way crucial to helping me develop my methodology and help me pass my exam.
-This list overlaps a lot with the famous TJ Null list however it also filters out boxes that may be too outside of the scope of the PEN 200 and OSCP exam and includes boxes from other hacking platforms such as HackSmarter and VirtualHackingLabs, still I added some boxes in this list that may have elements harder than OSCP but I believe are worth doing as they may have some other aspect that is crucial to know and practice

Start learning to Try harder here. Don’t fully skip hackthebox some boxes have important concepts that are rare even in PG practice like SNMP and Keepass also AD ones are pretty good practice even if harder than OSCP in some ways. At the very least watch ippsec videos and take notesNew platform made by the Hack Smarter community

Proving Grounds PracticeVulnLab / Hackthebox
52
The real OSCP like boxes, this is just a list with the ones that are best practice and removing the overly complicated ones that are too out of scope and those that were boxes meant to be mostly for OSEP and OSED (example Kyoto and Nara) that were in TJNull list plus adding some new onesVunLab is an amazing platform focused on red teaming, the platform recently joined hackthebox and vulnlab boxes will become available in hackthebox. For simplicity sake VulnLab and Hackthebox will keep being separate lists.
