5. Select the file and click Open.
6. Follow the on-screen prompts to finish the import process.
7. Once the import completes, you see the lab name in the list of available machines.
## 🚀 Running Your First Lab
After you import the machine, you can start your training.
1. Select your new lab machine in the virtual software interface.
2. Click the Start button.
3. Wait for the Kali Linux window to open.
4. Log in with the credentials provided in your course manual.
5. Open the specific lab folder on the desktop.
6. Read the PDF document associated with your lab number.
7. Follow the steps inside the document to complete your exercise.
## 📚 What You Learn
These labs align with the PT0-003 exam objectives. You gain experience in the following areas:
* Planning and Scoping: You learn how to prepare for a security assessment and define requirements.
* Information Gathering: You practice discovery techniques to identify targets within a network.
* Vulnerability Identification: You use tools to scan for weaknesses in systems and services.
* Attacks and Exploits: You apply offensive security techniques in a controlled environment.
* Reporting and Communication: You draft reports explaining found vulnerabilities and mitigation steps.
## 💡 Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you experience problems, check these solutions:
* Performance Issues: If the labs run slowly, close other programs on your Windows computer. Virtual machines require significant memory.
* Network Errors: Ensure your virtual network settings are set to NAT if you need internet access within the lab.
* Import Failures: If the file import fails, verify that you have enough disk space. Large lab files sometimes require significant room to decompress.
* Password Issues: Check your course materials for the correct default login. These credentials change between versions to ensure security.
## 🔐 Ethical Use Policy
## 📁 Repository Structure
The files organize into a logical order for learning:
* /labs: Contains the 35 step-by-step guides.
* /resources: Contains configuration scripts and helper tools for specific exercises.
* /docs: Contains the official exam mapping and help files.
* /scripts: Contains small programs to automate repetitive tasks during your practice.
## 🎓 Next Steps After Labs
Once you finish all 35 labs, perform these final actions to prepare for your certification:
1. Review the PT0-003 exam objectives on the CompTIA website.
2. Identify areas where you felt less confident during the labs.
3. Repeat those labs until the steps feel natural.
4. Take practice tests to verify your knowledge of the terminology.
5. Schedule your examination when your scores consistently fall within the passing range.
Use this environment whenever you need to refresh your skills. The virtual machine maintains your progress if you save the state before closing the software. Keep your environment updated as the repository releases new versions.
