In this one day course attendees will learn the process and steps to create their own layered network architecture and build their own range that can be used for practicing defensive techniques, offensive skills or even to build a Capture The Flag (CTF) environment. This process has been used to create CTFs for DEFCON, Hacker Halted and Showmecon; furthermore, the course is an introduction to the process in the instructor’s book Building Virtual Pentesting Labs for Advanced Penetration Testing (https://www.packtpub.com/networking-and-servers/building-virtual-pentesting-labs-advanced-penetration-testing).
