8 Structured Learning Paths
Follow curated module sequences across OSCP prep, CPTS, FTP, SMB, SNMP, SSH, LDAP, and Port Scanning. Every path includes premium machines that are exclusive to subscribers.
In-browser attack terminal (Pwnbox)
Launch a full Kali-style attacker box right in your browser — no VM, no VPN, no local setup. The toolkit is pre-installed and the live terminal attaches straight to the challenge page, on the same network as your target. Free accounts get 4 hours a day; Premium runs it unlimited.
Every learning-path walkthrough
Read the step-by-step walkthrough built into each module of every learning path — the full attack chain, written out, before you touch the box. Machine walkthroughs on the challenge page unlock for everyone once you root that machine.
Exclusive Premium machines
Access machines curated specifically for Premium members — harder, more realistic, and closer to real-world scenarios.
Unlimited lab access
Free accounts are limited to 3 labs per day. Premium removes the cap so you can grind as many boxes as you want.
Quest system — supercharged
Free accounts get 1 active quest slot and 1 new pick per day. Premium unlocks 4 active quest slots and 6 new picks per day, plus 50% off all quest upgrades and machine unlocks in the shop.
