What it does

PentesterLab provides vulnerable systems that can be used to test and understand vulnerabilities. Real vulnerabilities, offline & online, enterprise solution, certificates of completion, support.

Learn advanced web hacking and security code review through real-world CVEs, vulnerable code, hands-on exploitation, and detailed technical walkthroughs.

Start with our free exercises. Go PRO when you're ready for deeper labs, video walkthroughs, and advanced exploitation and code review content. Training a team? PentesterLab Enterprise helps AppSec, pentest, and red teams build web hacking and code review skills together. PentesterLab is built for people who want more than surface-level labs: understand how vulnerabilities work, find them in code, and exploit them with precision. Every lab requires you to exploit the vulnerability yourself, so you learn the root cause and the attacker workflow, not just the payload that happens to work. Off-the-shelf tools only find what they were designed to find. Writing your own keeps you in control,…from pentesterlab.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.
