4 hours to 4 minutes

Stop spending your night setting up vulnerable environments just to test a CVE. OctoLab spins up isolated testing environments in minutes, not hours.

Built for pentesters. Firecracker-isolated. Ready when you are.

The problem

"Have you tested this exploit?"

Before OctoLab

  • Spending 4+ hours hunting down vulnerable versions, dependencies, and configs
  • Fighting with Docker, VMs, and network configs just to get something running
  • Risking your host machine with untrusted exploits and malware

With OctoLab

  • Request a CVE and get a ready-to-exploit environment in under 5 minutes
  • Firecracker microVM isolation — your host stays safe, exploits stay contained
  • Download proof artifacts (pcaps, logs) for your manager or your notes

How it works

Three steps from "I want to test this" to "exploit confirmed"

01

Request a CVE

Tell us which CVE you want to test. We support Linux and open-source vulnerabilities — no Windows licensing headaches.

02

Get your environment

We spin up an isolated microVM with your vulnerable target and an OctoBox attack machine. Firecracker keeps everything contained.

03

Test and prove

Access OctoBox through your browser terminal. Run your exploits, capture the proof, download pcaps and logs when you are done.

Security note: Every session runs in its own Firecracker microVM with locked-down egress. Your exploits cannot phone home, and other users cannot see your traffic.
