Today's episode is brought to us by our friends at Blumira!

Today we kick off a series all about building your own vulnerable pentest lab from scratch, specifically:

• Spinning up a domain controller with a few lines of PowerShell
• Installing Active Directory Domain Services
• Setting up an intentionally cruddy password policy
• Baking in the MS14-025 vulnerability

P.S. if you're looking for a more automated/push-button solution to get up and going with a lab to play in, check out some of these options:
