// the rcce level 2 experience
Capture-the-flag-style exercises across 100+ lab machines with different vulnerabilities, operating systems, and defensive conditions.
Team-based exercises where Red Teams simulate adversary behavior and Blue Teams investigate, defend, and respond.
Train on Rocheston's VAPT platform for vulnerability scanning, assessment, reporting, and remediation workflows.
Step into a simulated banking environment with realistic systems, exposed services, user workflows, business risk, and security weaknesses. Assess, validate, document, recommend, and present — like a working penetration tester.
// cyber range labs you will complete
Every exercise is authorized, simulated, controlled, and ethical — designed to build penetration-testing judgment, defensive awareness, remediation thinking, and reporting discipline.
Map authorized lab targets, identify exposed services, document attack paths.
Structured assessment methods on simulated systems.
Analyze vulnerable web apps, document findings, recommend fixes.
Misconfigurations, exposed services, weak controls, defensive gaps.
Common Windows security weaknesses in a controlled range.
Logs, network activity, and indicators from simulated adversary behavior.
Reduce exposure and improve segmentation with defensive thinking.
Team-based attack, detection, response, and remediation.
Structured vulnerability assessment and reporting workflows.
The full-cycle banking simulation, ending in a professional report.
RCCE Level 2 teaches penetration testing, adversary simulation, and defensive response only inside authorized lab environments — Rocheston-controlled systems, simulated targets, and structured cyber range exercises. The goal: understand attacker behavior, improve defensive capability, document risk, and recommend remediation.
// the rcpt framework
RCCE Level 2 follows the Rocheston Certified Penetration Tester (RCPT) framework — a structured methodology for professional penetration testing and reporting:
// the transformation
// your 5-day journey
The pentest lifecycle, rules of engagement, reporting expectations, range structure.
Guided and challenge-based target assessments across diverse machines.
Team-based adversary simulation, detection, response, defensive review.
Scanning workflow, risk prioritization, remediation planning, reporting.
The banking capstone, final report, exam objectives review.

// frequently asked questions
RCCE Level 1 or an equivalent cybersecurity foundation is recommended. Level 2 assumes you know the basics and builds professional capability on top.
No — Level 2 is advanced. Beginners should start with RCCE Level 1 (or the free RCT course if completely new to IT).
Yes. All exercises run in authorized, simulated Rocheston lab environments. Unauthorized testing against real systems is not permitted.
A Red Team vs Blue Team exercise environment for team-based adversary simulation, detection, and defense practice.
A simulated banking environment used as the full-cycle penetration-testing capstone — you assess, validate, document, and deliver a professional report.
