Cybersecurity Track
The complete security path: fundamentals and cryptography, web application security, Python security tooling, Linux and network hardening, cloud and DevSecOps, and ethical hacking methodology — all hands-on, all against local, authorized targets.
This is the full DARE Labs security curriculum, from first principles to offensive methodology. Build the mental model with Security Fundamentals and Cryptography Essentials, then go hands-on auditing dependencies for known vulnerabilities. Learn Web Application Security and immediately exploit and fix SQL Injection and XSS in a local lab. Automate security tasks with Python for Cybersecurity, including building your own port scanner. Harden a real Linux server and configure HTTPS with proper security headers. Go up a layer with Cloud & DevSecOps Security — IAM, containers, CI/CD, infrastructure as code. Finish with Ethical Hacking Essentials, learning pentest methodology end-to-end against DVWA and OWASP Juice Shop running locally. Every offensive technique in this track is taught paired with its fix, and is always practiced against your own local, intentionally vulnerable environment — never third-party systems.
