Realistic environment, awesome CTF!
I've been following and reading Sparc Flow's books and blogs and have been very fascinated with his work. I decided to finally try his hacking challenge alpha after having his books for quite some time now. I was a little nervous that I wouldn't get anything out of it as I'm somewhat of a newer hacker and his books have some advanced methods. I assumed that I wouldn't be able to hack the box that he was setting up for me to use. The bright side is that I can just follow along in the book and do this step by step! I would try to not look at the book, but after being stuck for an hour or two, I would simple peek at the next step and try to teach myself why I was doing this and the methodology behind why I would attempt something like what I was doing. He does a great job at explaining things and the "why". I wouldn't reccomend this for anyone who isn't familiar with any hacking techniques at all. If you don't know the basics, CLI commands in Linux, PowerShell, etc... you should check out his other books first before trying the challenge. You will learn a lot! Great books, awesome CTF, all of which is realistic compared to any other CTF I've done. Thank you Sparc Flow!

some problems
The content of the book is useful, but it seems expensive to me since it only has about 25 pages of content (keep in mind that it has photos, and some content repeats them) and finally with the bad experience it seems expensive to me.During the second hour I had problems with the lab, it was extremely slow, and the programs did not respond. (maybe I was the guilty one trying to make "runas" with several accounts)When I got the administrator password I restarted it, and it started working normally.My negative score is because I wrote some mails to the address they offer in case you have problems, no one has responded. And the second reason is because the lab finished early, as the mail started around 17:55 and ended at 17:43 (so I couldn't finish the last page of the book).The problem is that it is all automated, so if you have problems you will not have support.
