Your quest begins here! Hone your hacking skills and put them to the test.

The Keep is a fun and educational environment where you can both learn the fundamentals of hacking and test your abilities in a realistic environment. Whether you are a beginner or an expert hacker, there are opportunities for you to learn new things and challenge yourself.

Everything you need to know…

There are two parts to our community. The Exploit Armory and the Dungeon.

— The Exploit Armory —

Equip yourself with the tools and knowledge you will need before you venture into The Dungeon. Level up your hacking skills by learning about the tools and techniques used in real red team engagements. 

— The Dungeon —

Come and fight in The Dungeon! Take the tools from the armory and prove your skill against other players by exploiting vulnerable boxes. Each box you successfully hack will earn you points on the leaderboard. As you descend deeper into the dungeon, the challenges will get harder, but more rewarding.  

You will face different scenarios that simulate real-world attacks. You will need to use your creativity, persistence, and offensive skills to hack into these boxes. Some of the machines will be on different subnets or networks that are not directly reachable from your machine. You will need to use pivoting techniques to route your traffic through another compromised box on the same network. This adds an extra layer of challenge and realism.  

What should I bring?

For the best experience you should bring a laptop when visiting The Keep.
