Using the Purple Edge Lab

What you'll learn

Before you attack anything, you need to know how to get into and around a Purple Edge lab. This short Edge covers:

• The Purple Edge lab model — an ephemeral, locked, lesson-scoped playground
• The two ways to reach your lab box: the web console and a VPN connection
• How to find your Kali machine's lab IP address
• Lab etiquette — labs auto-expire, and how to reset or stop them cleanly

Prerequisites

None. This is orientation, not exploitation. (Labs are attached to these lessons in a later phase — for now this Edge teaches the model and the workflow.) Answer from the lesson content.
