Outpost

Your attack box, already inside the range.

Outpost is a full Kali Linux desktop that runs in Arena's infrastructure and is used from the browser. It keeps your files across every stop and start, sits beside the lesson you are reading and routes straight into any range you own. Nothing to install.

Network ranges · Module 03

Pivoting through the DMZ

Your machine has no route to 10.10.30.0/24. web-01 does. Get onto it first.

  1. Bring up the tunnel
  2. Scan the DMZ
  3. Find a foothold on web-01

Your files survive

Home directory, keys, wordlists and notes persist across every stop and start.

Toolchain already there

Recon, exploitation, reversing and forensics tooling, versioned and kept current for you.

One tunnel, every range

Your Outpost is wired to the VPN, so any lab you spawn is reachable the moment it turns green.

Side by side with the lesson

Read the module on the left, work the target on the right. Record the session, or hand a replay to a trainer.
