"The training I used to prepare world champions was not available to most people. Enterprise platforms are expensive and theoretical. I built this so anyone serious about security can train the same way."

How the training works

Everything is practical. You exploit real applications.

Capture the flag challenges

Find vulnerabilities in real applications. When you successfully exploit one, you get a flag. Progress is binary: either you captured it or you did not.

Browser-based labs

Vulnerable applications run in Docker containers on our platform. Open your browser and start hacking. No VMs, no VPNs, no configuration headaches.

Guided learning

Each challenge comes with hints and context. You learn how systems break and why.

Available courses

Start with enumeration. Progress to exploitation. All courses include labs and challenges.

Certifications

Practical exams that prove you can do the work. Not multiple choice.

ECWEE Certification

ECWEE

Endolum Certified Web Exploitation Expert

24-hour practical exam. 10 challenges on live vulnerable applications. Verifiable digital certificate. Available now.
