Admins and Moderators have the ability to manage and provision Dedicated Labs. This includes adding and removing Machines and Challenges to and from the lab.
Dedicated Labs have a Lab Capacity that determines how many Boxes and/or Challenges can be added to the lab. You can choose which content you want to provision to your lab to fill these slots, and have the ability to swap out content as you please.
Adding Content to Your Lab
To provision content to your Dedicated Lab, navigate to your lab's page and press the Manage button.
On the Assigned tab, you can view the list of content you already have :
To add new content, you can navigate to the Machines tab and scroll through the list of Boxes in its entirety. By clicking on the content, you can Preview its description, the skill tags, and the matrix. This preview will help to get more details about specific content to assist you in choosing whether to add that content to your lab or not.
Once you've chosen a Box, you can provide it to your Dedicated Lab by pressing the Add to Lab button. The same process applies to Challenges as well.
Note this button won't be clickable if you already have provisioned your lab to its maximum slot capacity for the given content type. If you are trying to provision a Box, you'll need to remove a Box from your lab first, and likewise for Challenges.
To help you find the content you are looking for, you can search the Boxes by Name or use filters by Difficulty or Operating System :
You can also filter by Machine Type :
Filter by Tags :

Removing Content from Your Lab
Deprovisioning content from your lab is just as simple as provisioning it. Scroll to the Box you want to remove from the Assigned tab and then click Remove from Lab.
Managing Paths
Dedicated Lab Paths are groups of Machines and Challenges focused on a specific skillset or cybersec job direction. These groups are curated by Hack The Box staff to provide coverage over an area of interest. Each Path typically consists of up to 10 Machines or Challenges.
Hack The Box has a lot of content to offer, and sometimes navigating through that ocean can be daunting. With Dedicated Lab Paths, we lift a part of this responsibility by offering a one-button solution to provision the content most relevant to you and your team.
Expanding a Path will show :
A paragraph describing what this Path is about, along with a bullet list of learning outcomes
A list of content included in the Path (Machines or Challenges), usually up to 10 items
An option to add all Machines of the Path in the lab
A separate Add to Lab button for each Machine
You can use the ADD ALL button to add all Machines and Challenges inside that Path to your lab.
You can still add a Machine manually to your lab if you are looking for high-level customization to your content.
You can also use the REMOVE ALL button to remove all the Path's Machines or Challenges from your lab or REMOVE specific Machines from that Path after adding them.
