The idea

Think like an attacker. Act like a defender.

Every time you log in, buy something or tap a link, a computer quietly decides whether to trust you. This course teaches you the question attackers ask: what is this system quietly assuming, and what happens if that assumption is wrong?

🔍

Spot the weak spot

Logins, access checks and links: where systems trust too easily, and why.

🏁

Prove it, safely

Real Capture The Flag challenges on the AquilaCyber training platform, built to be broken.

🛡

Protect yourself

Trace a suspicious message, tell a scam from the real thing, and shrink your digital footprint.

Two tiny challenges from the course.

Everything below is pretend and runs only on this page. In class you do the real thing on AquilaCyber.

// from Day 2: admin bypass

A hidden button is not a locked door.

This staff portal "hides" its Admin button from normal users. Look at it the way an attacker would.

🔒 StaffHub signed in as: student
The page shows three buttons. Is that really all there is?
// from Day 3: who sent this?

Read the link, not the label.

This text just arrived. Real, or a scam?

Learn the attack. Never use it on anyone.

You learn how attacks work so you can see them coming and build safer things. Every hands-on challenge runs on the AquilaCyber training platform, made to be broken, and every investigation uses fictional cases. Trying any of it on a real person or a real system is not part of this course, and it is against the law.

Questions

Before you join

Is it really free?

Yes. No fee, no card, nothing to pay later. You just need a Webbo3 account.

I have never done anything in tech. Can I join?

Yes. It is built for complete beginners. Day 1 starts with what cybersecurity even is, in plain words.

What do I need?

A laptop is best for the challenges, but a phone with internet works for the classes and the lessons. Nothing to install before Day 1.

What is a Capture The Flag (CTF)?

A security puzzle. Somewhere in a practice system is a secret code called a flag, like flag{y0u_f0und_1t}. Find it and you have solved the challenge. On Day 4 the CTF winners are recognised.

Is this about hacking people?

No. You learn how attackers think so you can defend against them. Everything hands-on happens on a training platform built for it, and investigations use fictional cases only.

Where are the classes?

Online, in the Webbo3 virtual classroom, plus a lesson to read for each day at /learn/intro-to-cybersecurity.
