After a decade of proven success in university settings, we're excited to announce the public launch of Hacktivity Cyber Security Labs – now available to everyone who wants to develop practical cyber security skills.
Whether you're looking to start a career in cyber security, level up your current skills, or simply enjoy the challenge of ethical hacking, Hacktivity offers something unique: hands-on experience with randomized challenges, detailed lab instructions, automated attack bots, and multiple CTF challenges in every lab - all mapped to the Cyber Security Body of Knowledge (CyBOK) to track your growing expertise.
If you are looking for a structured learning environment, with detailed labs and challenges, then Hacktivity has just what you need.
Each course starts with the fundamentals and progressively builds to advanced concepts.
You’ll develop the skills to conduct ethical hacking penetration tests, investigate security breaches, harden systems against attack, analyse malware, and even find new vulnerabilities and write your own exploits.
Every time you start a lab in Hacktivity, you're entering a unique environment. Just like in the real world, every security scenario presents its own unique challenges that require adaptability and real understanding. Your systems will have unique system configurations, such as usernames, passwords, and IP addresses, your flags and solutions will be different each time you run through a lab, and the details of challenges, such as the actual security vulnerabilities you are attacking, can be randomised. This isn't just about preventing solution sharing – it's about building genuine understanding and adaptability.
All the content on Hacktivity, from individual labs and challenges through to explainer videos, is mapped to the Cyber Security Body of Knowledge (CyBOK). This helps us to clearly communicate to you what knowledge each course covers.
Uniquely Hacktivity will help you track your learning progress, helping you to visualize your learning journey and understanding your strengths. As you complete challenges, you'll see your Knowledge Experience (KXP) grow, creating a clear visualization of your developing expertise. This isn't just about tracking progress – you will also be building a profile that demonstrates your real capabilities.
Forget struggling with VPNs or dealing with laggy browser interfaces. Hacktivity provides a premium desktop experience that feels local but runs in our secure cloud. Through SPICE technology, you get seamless copy-paste support, smooth performance, and all the tools you need for each lab – pre-configured and ready to use. Experience labs frustration free, without needing to manage your own local VMs or faff about with VPNs.
Meet your personal cyber adversary: Hackerbot. Hackerbot is used to create engaging defensive and investigative labs. Unlike passive learning environments, Hackerbot actively engages with you – launching real attacks against your systems, providing instant feedback, and guiding you through complex scenarios.
Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced professional looking to expand your skills, Hacktivity provides the structured learning environment and hands-on experience you need to succeed in cyber security.
