The Pen Testing Lab Tracker and Cheat Sheet (whatever you wanna call it ) is my answer to that chaos. It’s an all-in-one, interactive dashboard pulling together over 300 carefully curated practice machines from HackTheBox, TryHackMe, VulnHub, and custom platforms mapped to the specific skill domains that the OSCP, CPTS, OSWE, and OSEP exams actually test.

Every machine in this tracker earns its place by being directly relevant to a certification outcome.

If you’re starting your OSCP journey from scratch, the tracker lets you filter exclusively to beginner-friendly “V1” machines and build a real progression not a random walk through difficulty tiers, but a deliberate curriculum that scales with you. As your skills develop and exam syllabi evolve, you escalate accordingly. The path is already laid out. You just have to walk it.

The tracker is free. I built it as a dynamic HTML page rather than a PDF for a deliberate reason , the moment you flatten it into a static document, you lose the search, filtering, and interactivity that make it useful in the first place. Don’t do that.

This is an interactive cheat sheet with tabs and search so you need to open it only using your cell phone or PC browser.
