Hacker Blueprint's OSCP Active Directory Chain #1 Practice Lab

Sharpen your Active Directory exploitation skills with Hacker Blueprint's OSCP AD Chain Practice Lab, a hands-on, downloadable VM pack built for focused exam preparation. This lab simulates real AD attack chains so you can practice discovery, privilege escalation, lateral movement, and post-exploitation in a controlled environment.

This is the simplest AD Chain we offer. Every AD Chain will teach something unique and important for the OSCP. Guided walkthroughs & setup guides are included in all of the AD Chains.

What’s included:

• 3 Downloadable VMs you run locally in an Active Directory domain just like in the OSCP Exam.
• Realistic OSCP Exam scenarios.
• Quick & Simple setup guide for VirtualBox so you can get the lab running quickly and reproduce the exercises reliably.
• Guided walkthrough for this OSCP Chain.

Who can run this?

• Any PC or laptop with 8GB of RAM or more. Make sure to watch the setup video if you have limited RAM.
• Anyone with 16GB of RAM or more can run this easily with no issues.
• Anyone who can install VirtualBox.
• ✅ Works on: Any Windows or Linux PC with an Intel or AMD processor (that’s almost all of them), plus older Intel-based Macs.
• ❌ Doesn’t work on: Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5 or newer) or rare Windows laptops with a Snapdragon processor.

This lab is purpose built to replicate an OSCP-style Active Directory environment. The network topology, host roles, and vulnerabilities are arranged so you practice the same discovery, exploitation, lateral movement, and privilege escalation steps you will encounter during exam-style AD challenges. Everything is designed for learning by doing, not just reading. We believe this is one of the more accurate OSCP AD chain practice labs available.
