Hack The Box releases MSSP labs
Hack The Box published three new labs — ShadowStream, Kobold, and Lucky Dice — designed to train MSSP analysts on realistic attack paths. The labs are being flagged as useful practice environments for small IT teams sharpening incident‑handling and detection skills. (x.com/HTBJill/status/2034623624322105829)
The three MSSP-focused labs join a broader HTB push that included three sector-specific assessments for healthcare, finance and managed security service providers released on October 14, 2025. (markets.financialcontent.com) Hack The Box’s Professional (Pro) Labs are designed as realistic corporate scenarios that explicitly cover Active Directory attacks, phishing, endpoint detection, lateral movement and privilege-escalation playbooks. (hackthebox.com) Access to Pro Labs runs through a Pro Labs bundle subscription, and HTB’s platform tiers include a VIP+ plan that provides unlimited Pwnbox browser time and lists pricing at $25/month or $223/year. (help.hackthebox.com) HTB expanded its MSSP training stack earlier in 2025 by acquiring LetsDefend to merge red-team lab content with blue-team virtual SOC exercises and incident-response scenarios. (msspalert.com) In December 2025 HTB launched an AI cyber range intended to let MSSPs test autonomous AI security agents under realistic attacker-defender conditions before deploying them in live SOCs. (msspalert.com) Hack The Box has also been running hands-on DFIR training tied to MSSP incidents, including a recent technical walkthrough called “Rusty” that re-creates a closed-source MSSP ransomware and data-exfiltration case for analyst practice.
