Develop Deep Cyber Security Skills

Unique, Randomised Challenges

Other cyber security training platforms provide static challenges, which means once a solution is posted online, learners can simply follow the exact same steps, or submit the same flags and solutions, without developing real understanding.

Hacktivity generates unique, randomised challenges for each learner. Every time someone starts a lab, they get their own virtual machines with randomised configurations - different usernames, passwords, IP addresses, and varying challenge details, such as software vulnerabilities or crypto challenges.

Open Innovation

At the heart of our technology stack is our open source SecGen framework. We welcome contributions and feedback from the community.

Hack Boxes

In addition to comprehensive courses, learners can access "Hack boxes" - replayable multi-step CTF scenarios for additional practice.
