How It Works

How a mission works

Every mission follows the same loop. The browser lab is the center of the experience.

01

Receive the Mission

Read the briefing, understand the target environment, and review your objectives before you begin.

Each mission maps to a Kill Chain phase and security domain.

02

Launch the Environment

Your isolated lab environment starts in the browser. No local configuration needed for browser-based missions.

Environments include terminals, web targets, and analysis tools.

03

Investigate and Submit

Run commands, analyze evidence, and submit findings through flag submission or evidence collection.

Hints are available at a point cost. Each hint reduces your score by 25%.

04

Review the Debrief

Review the mission debrief showing the intended approach, alternative methods, and defensive countermeasures.

Points are awarded, your rank updates, and the next mission is recommended.
