# Virtual Machines with C2s

There are a few virtual machines with built in C2 frameworks allowing you to start testing and skip the installation.

## SANS Slingshot - C2 Matrix Edition

SANS provides a number of free resources to the community including an offensive linux distribution called [Slingshot](https://www.sans.org/slingshot-vmware-linux/). C2 Matrix worked with SANS to release a special edition [Slingshot - C2 Matrix Edition](https://howto.thec2matrix.com/slingshot-c2-matrix-edition).

* Covenant
