Playing Blue Team Lagoon

Parrot CTFs offers players who have gained substantial experience in the field of cybersecurity the opportunity to practice in real-life simulated defensive engagements with various technologies. We regularly launch new Blue Team Labs. 

Some of the technologies and scenarios you may encounter include:

• Network Monitoring and Analysis
• Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)
• Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
• Incident Response
• Threat Hunting
• Malware Analysis
• Cloud Security
• Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
• Firewalls and VPNs
• Active Directory Hardening
• Email Security

And more...

In the lab overview you can see what the lab may entail, such as if the network resembles an Enterprise Setting or a Small Business Setting. Whether it has Active Directory Components. You can also check to see if there is a Parrot CTFs Academy Course that may teach you what is in this lab.

Under the language settings you can see what programming languages would help aid you in this lab vs not having programming skills. You can also check the categories section will include a lot of the actions that may take place or vulnerabilities that you may encounter. 

This is the blue team entry point. You can see the machine control settings, as well as information about the machine, and questions you submit after completing the lab machines.

You may also need to be connected to the Professional Labs VPN. 

In your lab machines control panel, you will see the entry point to the lab, you may have a ZIP file with an application you have to analyze, or the IP address to start your analysis on.

All Parrot CTFs machines, have questions attached to them to serve as proof you have completed the lab. Blue Team Labs typically do not have user or root flags but rather ask questions specific to the lab you just completed. 

Things are bound to break at some point. Not to worry you can fix a lot of lab machine issues by resetting the lab. 

You can usually reset on the same page you started the lab machine on, in the case where you are still having issues you can use the support chat to reach out to our team members and we will reset the lab manually again.
