Each lab is an entire emulation of an incident in a “fake” corporate network. To solve the lab requires you to fully solve each incident and understand what has occurred. The questions are designed to guide you through the investigation with a series of hints.

There are generally 40-60 questions per lab. For an experienced incident responder, ONE lab may take around 30-40 hours to complete. For a beginner or a SOC analyst, it may take upwards of 60-70 hours per lab.

Solutions and guidance are only provided for corporate purchases / corporate customers. For non-corporate purchases, students can access hints on the platform (the usage of a hint will lead to a point deduction) and students will also have access to a Discord channel where they can post questions and collaborate with other students.

Absolutely! We encourage and welcome you to post your write-ups, please also tag us at @XintraOrg and [@InverseCos](https://x.com/InverseCos] so we can share your write-ups.

If you are a student in high school or University, we offer 15% discount for our labs platform only. Please send us an email at [email protected] with proof of your enrolment and we will issue you a discount.

20% of the questionʼs total points are deducted for each hint used. For example, if the question is worth 10 points and you used a hint, you can only earn 8 points for that question.

No, we do not deduct points for incorrect answers.

We will work on getting a new lab published every 2 months. Please check the timeline on the homepage and labs page to see the current trajectory. You can also stay in touch with us on our socials to hear news and updates - @XintraOrg.
