Learn real-world security concepts with 50 interactive cards across 8 challenge types. From phishing detection to OSINT investigations - level up your cyber skills!
In the digital battlefield of cybersecurity, your system is under constant threat. You stand at ground level, at the base of a towering secure building. Your mission? Climb to the top floor to achieve ultimate security.
But one wrong move, one failed challenge, and you'll tumble down to the HACK Zone - a dangerous wasteland at the foot of the building where cybercriminals lurk, waiting to exploit your mistakes. Fall too far, and your system is completely compromised.
Navigate through real-world cybersecurity challenges: detect phishing attempts, uncover hidden information through OSINT investigations, crack encrypted passwords, and defend against attacks. Each success lifts you higher up the building. Each failure pulls you down toward the hackers below.
