Learn Cybersecurity

No computer experience? No problem!
Our curriculum teaches cybersecurity from the very basics.

Cybersecurity? What's that?

Cybersecurity deals with protecting devices and their data.
Ever heard of...

Hacking?

We've all seen it in movies—mysterious people typing furiously on their laptops as lines of green text scroll past their screens. Not always accurate, but hacking is the act (art?) of breaking into devices.

Virus

Malware?

You've heard of this one too—Viruses? Ransomware? Infected devices? These are all common examples of Malware. Malware is software that can damage devices and steal their data.

Secret codes?

Chances are, you've actually used these. Think Caesar cipher, Morse code—even Pig Latin! Of course, these are very simple examples, but the study of secure communication is called cryptography.

Cybersecurity involves these—and a LOT more!

Cybersecurity deals with protecting computers, networks, and their data from digital attacks. But what does this involve?

  1. Securing devices: “hardening” or strengthening computer and network defenses against attacks
  2. Ethical hacking: attempting to break into computers, websites, and other applications to find their security weaknesses
  3. And much more!

Made by Students,
For Students.

Our curriculum was developed with students in mind.

Targeted to beginners.

Our curriculum is designed to be approachable for complete beginners. Not just beginners to cybersecurity, but to computer science as a whole.

Hands-on and Theoretical.

Cybersecurity is best learned through hands-on practice. We aim to develop both practical ability and conceptual understanding.

Gamified.

Cybersecurity doesn't have to be boring. Students progress by completing quizzes and challenges, racking up points in the process!

How it Works

Get started learning cybersecurity with us!

1
Make an account

To start learning and get access to our content, you’ll need to make an account first.

2
Choose a pathway

There isn’t one set path to learning cybersecurity, so depending on what you’d like to learn, we offer two pathways—each teaching slightly different skills and depth. Read about each of our pathways below, and select what you’re interested in!

3
Start with the first module

Once you’ve selected a pathway, start learning from the first module! We’ve structured the content in a recommended order, but if you're already good on a certain topic, feel free to skip ahead!

4
Keep learning and earn points!

Each module has lessons, quizzes, labs, and challenges to make sure you understand the content and build hands-on ability. Complete them to progress and earn points!

FAQs

What if I’m new to cybersecurity?

No problem! Our curriculum starts from the very basics of cybersecurity. Students don’t need any experience with coding, cybersecurity, or computer science in general. Go ahead and dive right in!

What will I learn?

As of now, we’re only releasing the content for our CTF Pathway. You’ll learn skills commonly used in student CTF (capture-the-flag) competitions, like Linux and Bash, web hacking, cryptography, reverse engineering, and more! See our pathways for more.
