Hack-a-Thon Blast Off!
OffSec hosted some Hack-a-Thon CTF events for our PG Practice Subscribers to challenge their critical thinking and creative skills with fantastic prizes. Players learned how to exploit vulnerabilities, analyze code, and decrypt messages to obtain flags. These inspiring events provided a unique opportunity for participants to learn, network with other professionals, and gain exposure to the cybersecurity field. Keep an eye out for more Hack-a-Thon events this year!

Content Release Update
This quarter, OffSec released the most extensive content and learning assets in the Learning Library to ensure learners receive the best investment for their future careers.
We’ve introduced 17+ new modules and over 42 restructured modules to the following courses: WEB-100, 200, and 300, MAL-200, SSD-100 and 200, EXP-100, EXP-312, PEN-100, PEN-200 2023, LIB-100, SOC 100 and 200, and CLD-100 along with new assets:
- OffSec Cyber Range which includes 42 new enterprise-level attack chains/machines
- PEN-200 has six new video modules
- WEB-200 has a new Challenge Lab environment
We’ve organized Learning Modules into the Build, Attack, and Defend categories. New releases include:
| Attack Modules | Build Modules | Defend Modules |
|
|
|
Our learners can narrow down their search for Learning Modules with the new category and MITREfilter feature. Learners can use the category filter to select modules in the “Attack”, “Build”, or “Defend” categories and the MITRE Tactics filter to find machines and modules based on the tactic. Thanks to our IT team, learners can spend less time locating relevant Learning Modules and more time learning. For more information on the filters and capabilities, read this help center article.
