Courses

Each course is self-contained. See courses/README.md for the full index.

Networking Fundamentals

NetDrill (7-tab study platform), Subnet Invaders, Subnet Quest RPG, OSI Tower, Bit Flip, Hex Trainer, PCAP Forensics, Packet Tracer labs.

Scripting

Python, PowerShell, Bash, Batch, Data & APIs — each with interactive reference, challenge drills, and quizzes.

CDA-B Modules

Switching (M10), Protocol Basics (M11), Wireless (M12), Infrastructure Services (M13), Security & AD (M14-15).

Pivoting Lab

9-hop network traversal CTF. SSH tunneling, FTP, DNS zone transfer, Redis RCE, SMB enumeration. Docker-based with scoreboard and hint system.

Adding a Course

Each course lives in courses/<name>/ and must be independently deployable. Docker courses reference ../../platform/ for shared infrastructure. Static courses need no Docker at all. See courses/README.md for the course contract.

Requirements

• Static courses: Any modern browser
• Docker courses: Docker + Docker Compose, 4GB RAM minimum, Linux/macOS/Windows with WSL2
