Final boss Red Team - The Final Corporate Challenge

You are about to face the most deceptive environment yet: the website of the fictitious Umbrella Corporation. At first glance, it appears to be riddled with known vulnerabilities — but not everything that glitters is gold. Among the many apparent paths, only one will truly lead you to system control.

Your challenge is to separate real clues from distractions, interpret technical signs accurately, and remain calm in the face of decoys designed to mislead you. If you proceed cleverly, you might uncover a hidden entry point into the system and, through thorough analysis, discover a way to gain elevated privileges in a Windows environment.

This lab tests your judgment, your analytical skills, and your persistence in the face of uncertainty.
