About

Most of what passes for a security website is a brochure about security. This one hands you a machine.

Everything here is a file, including the page you are reading. The shell at the bottom walks the same tree, which is why cd tools moves you. Nothing here is a mock-up of anything else.

What is here

• news/: the industry feed, filtered for people who run things
• tools/: the shelf. open source we host, commercial we point at
• tutorials/: from zero to dangerous, in order. Four tiers, each a room: First Steps teaches the shell on a site that answers. Field Work teaches judgment in a jail that is honest about its limits. Live Fire teaches the real tools on your own iron. In Scope teaches the web application, conversation by conversation, from the browser's hidden half to the finding you sign.

What this is not

Not a course. Not a platform with a growth team. Not a newsletter. A filesystem with opinions, and a shell to walk it with.

House rule

Flags on this site are toys. Zero operational value. No prize behind them except the next one, and knowing you could find it. Anyone who plants a real secret in a security site's source deserves what happens next.
