Train With CyberQ Skill Pack Challenges
Skill Packs are collections of performance-based Cyber Challenges designed for deep practice on a core base of widely applicable cyber skills. Hone you cyber skills in a safe purpose-built environment with next generation network Infrastructure. Practicing an array of these base skills develops the multi-dimensional yet systematic execution efficiency to tackle real-world cyber challenges.

Execute Core Cyber Skills
Designed to test your execution abilities with time-bound performance-based challenges, each Skill Pack Challenge functions independently as Self-Paced ‘Capture the Flag’. The challenges require handy skill application in a variety of procedures in the target environment, including host discovery, service discovery, vulnerability analysis, attack procedures, privilege escalation, and many more.

Rigorous Skills Practice
Each Skill Pack is a curated collection of Cyber Challenges relevant to specific cyber skills covering the latest threats, attack vectors, vulnerabilities, and primary techniques. Completing all the Cyber challenges will level-up your skills to achieve the desired execution efficiency against cyberthreats.

Real Life Network Topology
Practice and validate core cyber skills and techniques by executing skills in real-life scenarios which you face in your work roles. For e.g., Financial Systems, Healthcare, Transport Systems, Industrial Control Systems.
Train with Industry’s Leading Purpose-built
Cyber Infrastructure Available On-demand
CyberQ is a fully automated Cyber Range platform providing you with a self-driven ‘Capture-the-flag’ experience in each challenge.
Each challenge contains a fully designed target network with live virtual machines, servers, web hosts, and vulnerable sites and applications. Launching a challenge will open the CyberQ Console and safely connect you to our live attack environment right through your browser. Depending on the challenge, you will land in your attack machine, either Kali or Parrot, where you will have instant access to the full suite of attack tools required to carry out your challenge. Targets are preconfigured with host and application vulnerabilities which you will uncover as you progress through the challenges.

Please note, this is not a learning lab. Skill packs are designed intentionally with challenges, puzzles, and preconfigured targets that will test your ability to identify, analyze, exploit, and own the targets. If you are new to Cyber and have never participated in a cyber challenge or competition, Skill packs may be too advanced. So, feel free to browse our learning products if this describes you. However, if you are ready for a challenge, enjoy solving complex puzzles and testing your limits, CyberQ challenges are a great way to hone your tradecraft. |
