You’re the newest member of Aegis

This isn’t a course. It’s a world.

Meridian Dynamics has everything worth attacking. Aegis defends it. NightShade wants it. You’re Nova — and you’re not learning alone.

The adversary

You’re not here
for points.

You’re here to stop NightShade.

Vex has breached Meridian before — and he’ll do it again. Every exploit you learn is a weapon against him. Clear the labs. Then clear him out.

AI-first labs

Hack LLMs, agents and MCP servers — the attack surface everyone is shipping now.

Real, isolated targets

Every lab is a live system in an ephemeral environment that is yours alone.

AI on your side

Byte hints, explains and grades your exploits in real time — you never get stuck.

Guided skill paths

Structured routes from first prompt injection to full agent takeover.

Earn & compete

Capture flags for XP, climb the ranks, and rise up a live global ladder.

Tracks

Attack the whole stack — 28 tracks.

Every domain of offensive and AI security, from foundations to bleeding-edge.

bugasm curriculum

Choose your attack surface.

One connected security curriculum, from foundations to AI systems.

Modules

200+ focused modules.

Each track breaks into modules — a tight set of labs on one skill.

bugasm curriculum

Build one skill at a time.

Focused practice that turns a broad track into visible progress.

The shift

AI won’t take your job.
Someone who secures AI will.

Prompt injection, agent hijacking and MCP exploits are already changing the attack surface. Learn the work companies need next.

Why you can trust it

Built for real practice, not theatre.

Every claim below is designed around how the platform actually runs, scores and protects your work.

Truly isolated

Every lab is a single-tenant, ephemeral environment. Your exploits never touch shared infrastructure — and it's destroyed on exit.

AI-graded, not guessed

Byte evaluates the technique you actually used, not a flag string. Real feedback that answer-matching platforms can't give.

We practice what we teach

Coordinated vulnerability disclosure (security.txt) and a nonce-locked CSP + RBAC stack. Security-first, by design.

NightShade isn’t waiting.
Neither should you.
