Vulnlab just released a new Active Directory lab called Wutai!
Like Shinra, it’s a simulated corporate environment with about 15 machines spread across multiple networks, domains & forests. The lab focuses on exploiting misconfigurations & users - not CVEs.

Impostor syndrome: “I don't know what I'm doing. It's only a matter of time until everyone finds out."
Growth mindset: "I don't know what I'm doing yet. It's only a matter of time until I figure it out."
The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn.
