Come see a preview of the new Web UI for 🏟️Ludus at the Embedded Systems Village. Our mini-workshop walks you through deploying a range and then hacking an emulated IP camera.

In Vegas for hacker summer camp and trying to get food without breaking the bank? I vibed a simple map site: defconfood.badsectorlabs.com Come see Ludus at the embedded Systems Village - hack an IP camera, see the new UI, and get a sticker!

Last LWIS before DEF CON. Come see us in the Embedded Systems Village where we have a mini-workshop hosting an emulated camera on Ludus for you to hack! blog.badsectorlabs.com/last-week-in...

Ludushound shows the power of community driven innovation in cybersecurity. @bagelByt3s created an awesome tool to convert bloodhound data into a working lab in 🏟️ Ludus. Replicate complex live environments with automation - and get back to the fun stuff! specterops.io/blog/2025/07...

Lots of good write ups (like Citrix Bleed 2) but my favorite was seeing how 🏟️ Ludus.cloud helped Cameron Stish of Guidepoint Security find "LoopyTicket" (CVE-2025-33073). blog.badsectorlabs.com/last-week-in...

Tons of great content released over the past few weeks. Get caught up with Last Week in Security! blog.badsectorlabs.com/last-week-in...

This week's edition is packed full of great techniques and tools! One of the longest posts we've done; there's so much cool stuff being released. blog.badsectorlabs.com/last-week-in...

@raphaelmudge.bsky.social summed up why we built and released Ludus open source: "Develop technologies that give individual operators and researchers LEVERAGE acting on hypothesis and make it fast to try things, adapt, and modify." When spinning up ADCS or SCCM is 3 commands, it gives you leverage.

Want to learn pivoting this weekend? The 🏟️Ludus community created a Pivot Lab with 11 different pivoting tools! Check it out: docs.ludus.cloud/docs/environ...

The Ludus range config can get complex - lots of features == lots of options, but VSCode (and Cursor/Windsurf) can help if you add: # yaml-language-server: $schema=https://docs.ludus.cloud/schemas/range-config.json to the top of a yaml, the editor will highlight and explain errors! 🤯
