5. Lab Title:
   Cybersecurity Hackathon WinterSchool
6. Lab Description:
   In this Hacjathon, participants will engage in a penetration testing exercise where they must gain root access to a victim machine. The lab includes reconnaissance, exploitation, and privilege escalation phases. Additionally, participants will practice network traffic analysis to identify and exploit vulnerabilities, reinforcing key concepts in cybersecurity.
7. Key Learning Objectives:
   Perform network reconnaissance to identify targets.
   Use tools like Netdiscover and Nmap to scan and identify open ports and services.
   Exploit identified vulnerabilities to gain initial access and escalate privileges.
   Analyze network traffic and identify potential security threats.
8. Tools/Software Required:
   Virtualization software (VirtualBox)
   Tools: netdiscover, Nmap, Netcat, Wireshark, Linux terminal utilities, vulnerability scanners.
   Pre-configured VM images for VictimVM, will be given as ova to deploy
