Now Available

Active Directory Labs

Active Directory is the first lab type available in LabForge. Empowering you to build full AD environments and attack paths with users, computers, groups, domains and realistic relationships.

Visual AD Lab Builder

Design complex Active Directory environments with our intuitive drag-and-drop canvas. Add users, computers, groups, OUs, GPOs, and domains, then visually connect them with relationships.

  • Drag-and-drop node placement
  • Full AD object type support
  • Visual relationship mapping
  • Real-time canvas preview

Drop BloodHound JSON files

users.json, computers.json, groups.json

Import Real BloodHound Data

Skip the manual setup. Import BloodHound JSON exports to instantly populate your lab with authentic Active Directory structures from real environments.

  • Import users, computers & groups JSON
  • Preserve original relationships
  • Replicate real engagement data - digital twin
  • Instant structure population

We support sanitization of imported data in-memory to prevent exposure of real domain names.
