Full desktop operating systems in our cloud:

• Your own instances of various operating systems and hacking environments, for every challenge. (Unlike other hacking platforms)
• Take and restore snapshots of the state of your systems. (Unlike other hacking platforms)

Servers uniquely generated for you to hack:

• Every server is uniquely generated, with randomised challenges. (Unlike any other hacking platform.)
• No shared instances, except where it’s a benefit. (Unlike other hacking platforms, where other users can often interrupt your work.)
• You can stop and restart your servers, and take snapshots and restore their state.

Learning pathways (modules/"hacktivities") carefully designed to level you up:

• Hands on hacking and defensive cyber security: you will learn theory and always apply it to solve practical tasks and challenges.
• The emphasis is on learning through doing, and through approaching problems with offensive security in mind.
• Capture the Flag (CTF) in every cyber security module!
• Comprehensive labs provide in-depth knowledge: dig in to the details.
• Our curriculum is based on the Cyber Security Body of Knowledge (CyBOK).
• Our key cyber security degrees are provisionally accredited by the National Cyber Security Centre.

A huge amount of content awaits you:

• Hundreds of scenarios with thousands of challenges.
• Full length labs, that will build your knowledge and confidence, by challenging you to put everything you learn into practice.
• 70+ Lecture videos covering important concepts and tools.

Gamified fun learning:

• Leaderboards.
• Team work.
• Fun scenarios.

Hacktivity builds on the technology we develop and deploy.

SecGen:

• Randomises hacking challenges and lab environments (this is unique, other platforms only use static challenges)
• Provides realistic scenarios with real systems that can be attacked and defended

Hackerbot:

• Enables defensive and investigative challenges
• Work at your own pace and interact with Hackerbot, who attacks your systems
• Fun and enjoyable

Our virtualisation datacenter:

• We have invested in making sure our users have a great experience, whether working on campus or working remotely
• Uses SPICE for responsive and high quality access to remote VM desktops
