∞Ways to break things
The platform
Everything you need to train like an attacker
One range, every discipline. From your first flag to full network compromise.
On-Demand Labs
Spin up isolated, dedicated attack environments in seconds. Full VMs and containers provisioned on real infrastructure — no local setup, no VPN gymnastics.
Network Challenges
Multi-host topologies with public-IP targets, routers and pivot chains. Map the network live, compromise hosts and capture root flags on a shared canvas.
Showdown — 1v1 Duels
Challenge anyone to a head-to-head race. First to submit wins. ELO ratings, sudden-death rounds and a ranked ladder decide who's really faster.
Courses & Pathways
Structured curricula that chain lectures, quizzes and hands-on challenges into guided pathways. Gated progression and certificates on completion.
Competitions & Events
Run or join live CTFs and timed competitions with real-time scoring, dynamic points and a public leaderboard that updates as flags land.
Teams & Leaderboards
Compete solo or rally a squad. Track ranks, streaks and category mastery on global and private leaderboards.
For Organizations
Isolated network labs, private leaderboards, org-restricted content, single sign-on and a full trainer portal to manage your people and curriculum.

Showdown
Head-to-head. Winner takes the rating.
