Red Teaming
Red Teaming
Soon

Conduct full-scope red team engagements. Master C2 frameworks, AV/EDR evasion, OPSEC, persistence mechanisms, and adversary emulation techniques.

Coming Soon
Web3 Security

Audit Solidity the way real firms do. Reentrancy, flash loan exploits, oracle manipulation, access control flaws, and bridge attacks, from your first Slither run to a full Foundry proof-of-concept, chapter by chapter.

Hacking 101

Your first real taste of hacking. Capture a flag, decode hidden data, spot a password hash, and see how real breaches happen, all from your browser. No install, no terminal, no experience required. Start in seconds.

Container Security

Attack and harden Docker, Kubernetes, and the supply chain that feeds them. Container escapes, RBAC abuse, Secret extraction, Sigstore signing, Falco detection, and Pod Security Admission rollout from one chapter to the next.

DFIR
DFIR
New

Investigate security incidents and run forensic analysis. Disk forensics, memory analysis with Volatility, log analysis, timeline reconstruction, and incident reporting that holds up under scrutiny.

OSINT

Gather intelligence using open sources. Master Google dorking, Shodan, social media OSINT, email enumeration, and breach data analysis for security assessments.

Reverse Engineering

Analyze binaries and malware using Ghidra, IDA, and x64dbg. Master static and dynamic analysis, unpacking, deobfuscation, and behavioral analysis techniques.

Web Security Basics

Understand how the web works from an attacker's perspective. HTTP, cookies, authentication, TLS, same-origin policy, and the vulnerability classes every hacker needs to recognize before picking up a tool.

Binary Exploitation

Exploit buffer overflows, format strings, and heap vulnerabilities. Learn x86/x64 assembly, shellcode development, ROP chains, and modern exploit mitigations.

Wireless Hacking

Attack wireless networks with Aircrack-ng, Bettercap, and the WiFi Pineapple. Crack WPA2/WPA3, run evil twin attacks, and exploit Bluetooth.

Security Careers & Certifications

Map your path into cybersecurity. Pick a career track from pentesting to GRC, build your skill stack on HackerDNA's courses, labs, and challenges, and ship a portfolio that gets you hired.

Social Engineering

Design and execute social engineering campaigns. Master phishing with Gophish, pretexting techniques, vishing, and payload delivery while maintaining ethical boundaries.

Cloud Pentesting

Assess cloud environments for misconfigurations and vulnerabilities. Enumerate IAM, exploit SSRF to IMDS, and run tools like Pacu, ScoutSuite, and CloudFox.

Mobile Pentesting

Test Android and iOS applications for vulnerabilities. Master APK reverse engineering, certificate pinning bypass, Frida hooking, and mobile-specific attacks.

Active Directory Attacks

Compromise enterprise Active Directory environments using Kerberoasting, AS-REP Roasting, Pass-the-Hash, DCSync, and BloodHound. From initial foothold to full domain takeover.

Windows Privilege Escalation

Escalate privileges on Windows systems using token manipulation, service exploits, UAC bypasses, and automated enumeration with WinPEAS and PowerUp. From standard user to SYSTEM access.

API Hacking

Hunt vulnerabilities in REST and GraphQL APIs. Master BOLA, authentication bypass, injection attacks, and the OWASP API Top 10 using Burp Suite, Postman, and custom scripts.

Bug Bounty

Start your bug bounty journey the right way. Learn to choose programs, build a methodology, find real vulnerabilities, and write reports that get paid. From setup to first bounty.

Linux Privilege Escalation

Escalate from low-privilege shell to root on Linux systems. SUID exploitation, sudo abuse, kernel exploits, container escapes, and automated enumeration with LinPEAS to own every box you land on.

Security Cheat Sheets

Comprehensive cheat sheets for essential cybersecurity tools. Quick reference commands, syntax, and examples for Nmap, Hydra, Metasploit, Burp Suite, SQLMap, and more.

Network Pentesting

Scan, exploit, and pivot through enterprise networks from first port scan to final report. Covers Nmap, Metasploit, Responder, Chisel, and the full pentest methodology against real service configurations.

Password Cracking

Crack password hashes with hashcat and John the Ripper. Covers dictionary attacks, brute force, rainbow tables, wireless, PDF, ZIP, Office, Windows NTLM, and Linux shadow files in real pentest scenarios.

Web App Attacks

Break into web apps using SQL injection, XSS, SSRF, and 9 more attack classes from the OWASP Top 10. Hands-on payloads with SQLMap, Burp Suite, and ysoserial, plus the defenses that stop each one.

JWT Attacks

Crack, forge, and tamper with JSON Web Tokens using the same tools and techniques that pentesters use in real engagements
