About The Hacker Academy

New members begin with the 7-Day First Blood challenge, one short lesson a day, and need no prior experience, tools or complex setup.[1] Membership adds weekly live hacking sessions with Q&A, a Pro Hacker Starter Kit of 70+ pages, a module on building an AI hacking agent, weekly material on topics such as OSINT and Wi-Fi hacking, and access to Hackify.io.[1] Members can cancel at any time.[1]

The academy's challenge site walks through a guided, legal exercise of about 45 minutes built on the Bounty Hacker lab from TryHackMe, from lab setup to cracking a login and escalating to root access, with each command explained.[2] The same site describes The Path, a sequence of dozens of guided hacks, and a rank system in which members start as a Script Kiddie and move up as they root boxes.[2]
