BloonsTD6 is about as difficult as the early competitions are. BloonsTD6 has an answer key, which briefly explains how to solve each issue, however they're not all fully explained, such as "prohibited software has been removed". This is a debian 10 image, but it can be applied to any other version of debian or ubuntu, except for the sections that use a GUI, which will be different on ubuntu. The vulnerabilities are the same kind of vulnerabilities that are on early cyber patriot competitions.

- Magistrate (3 windows images and 1 linux image)
This website has 4 images, 2 of which have an image walkthrough, and a 3rd has an answer key. Besides Santa's workshop these are very difficult.
- Ethan's Blog (1 windows image and 3 linux images)
This website has 4 images, none of which have an answer key or walkthrough. The linux images are a good next step after BloonsTD6 because although they don't have an answer key like the linux image on Magistrate, the vulnerabilities are simpler.
