From zero to first blood in three commands

"First blood" is CTF-speak for solving a challenge before anyone else. Here's the whole journey:

create-account --free

Sign up in under a minute. Every account starts with beginner-friendly rooms that teach the basics as you play.

deploy target-machine

Launch a real, intentionally vulnerable machine in the cloud. Your browser becomes the attack box — nothing to install.

submit --flag hack365{first_blood}

Capture the flag, bank the points, watch yourself climb the leaderboard. Then pick a harder room and go again.

Investigation

The Analyst

You follow the evidence. Digital forensics, malware analysis and threat-hunting challenges built on real incident patterns.

Defense

The Defender

You hold the line. SOC simulations, detection engineering and blue-team drills scored against live attacker playbooks.

The forensics rooms mirror cases I've worked professionally. That's rare in a training platform.
