  • Level 4: Cryptography (encryption, hashing, digital signatures)
  • Level 5: Authentication & Authorization (access control, MFA)
  • Level 6: Social Engineering (phishing detection, scenarios)
  • Level 7: Malware Analysis (safe sample analysis)
  • Level 8: Digital Forensics (evidence collection, analysis)
  • Level 9: Incident Response (IR frameworks, simulations)
  • Level 10: Advanced Persistent Threats (complex attacks)
• Interactive Challenges: Various activity types including quizzes, code challenges, labs, and simulations
• Gamification: Points system, achievements, and progress tracking
• Certificates: Verifiable certificates upon completion of levels

Tech Stack

• Frontend: Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui
