PentesterLab Review¶
I recently completed all available exercises on PentesterLab.
It took me about three months, spending about two hours a day doing the challenges. Some days I completed five or more challenges and some days I could only complete one.
Pros/Cons¶
Pros¶
- A good mix of easy to tough exercises.
- Videos exist for most exercises that help when stuck.
- Support is super responsive.
Cons¶
- Exercises marked "Coming Soon" will prevent you from completing a badge. There are currently 18 exercises spanning five badges that are marked as Coming Soon.
- Support only responds in short, often single-sentence responses that occasionally left me more confused than before I asked.
