Scripts to control an "OSCP-like" lab environment.
This script is a fully contained web control panel to allow resets of virtual machines within the lab. It uses Flask for the web server and https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi to talk to ESX. In Debian 9, installing the "python3-flask" and "python3-pyvmomi" packages should be all that is required.

You will need to configure your ESX host details and the name of your control VM within the script. By default, the web server will listen on port 5000.
Here is example output (obviously it will look prettier from a graphical web browser):
$ curl http://x.x.x.x:5000
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>VulnLab</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Reset</h1>
<a href="/reset/alice">alice</a><br>
<a href="/reset/pain">pain</a><br>
<a href="/reset/sufferance">sufferance</a><br>
</body>
</html>
$ curl http://x.x.x.x:5000/reset/pain
OKConfigure the lab machines so their hard drives are in "Independent - Non-persistent" mode. This means any disk changes to any of the lab VMs will not persist after a reset/power cycle.
Ideally you will want to have a second virtual NIC attached to your control VM that can talk to VMkernel so you don't have your ESX management interface directly on the VulnLab LAN.
