Free, self-hosted lab
Escape the Labyrinth.
Knossos is a complete penetration testing lab you run on your own machine. One command brings up a full vulnerable target network with 33 flags to capture. No signup, no cloud, no cost.
git clone https://github.com/pentest-tv/knossos.git && cd knossos
docker compose up -d --build
Then open the scoreboard at http://localhost:8890 and your Kali attacker box at http://localhost:7681. Needs Docker and about 2.5 GB of free RAM.
A network, not a single box
Active Directory, web apps, services and pivots across multiple hosts, wired together the way a real engagement looks.
33 flags, one Labyrinth
Capture every flag to clear the lab. A local scoreboard tracks your progress and links straight to each target.

Stay in the loop
New modules, new flags, and the occasional longer piece go out to the email list first.
