is an intermediate-level penetration testing scenario hosted on Hackviser , a hands-on cybersecurity upskilling platform. The Hackviser platform provides vulnerable labs designed to bridge the gap between textbook theory and real-world tactical exploitation. Completing the Navigator scenario requires a structured methodology spanning network reconnaissance, service enumeration, vulnerability exploitation, and privilege escalation.
