Edu-focused features such as timed tests and late penalties
A curriculum of content mapped to CyBOK
Hosted on our infrastructure, providing safe network isolation
Based on a core value of open innovation, with content creation collaboration via GitHub

We have developed a whole curriculum of labs and multi-step CTFs (130+), spanning technical CyBOK topics, including randomised CTF challenges:

Ethical hacking and penetration testing
Web and network security
Systems security
Incident response and investigation
Malware and reverse engineering
Software security and exploit development

How Hacktivity is used at Leeds Beckett University:
