Bootcamp: self-paced security courses with a graded capstone
A Bootcamp course takes one topic from reading to proof: written lessons, labs where you find real flags, short self-check questions, and a timed capstone that is graded before a certificate is issued. Bootcamp is part of the War Zone + Bootcamp plan at ₹999 a month.
Four parts, in this order
Written lessons
Each module opens with the explanation: what the weakness is, why it exists and how it is exploited. Lessons are written by the CTF7 team and open in order, so later ones can assume the earlier ones.
Labs
After the reading, you prove it on a target and submit the flag. Labs use dynamic flags, so the flag you find is tied to your account.
Self-check questions
Short questions placed where an idea is introduced, each with an explanation once you answer, so you know whether to reread before moving on.
Graded capstone
A time-boxed practical at the end of the course: solve the challenges inside the window and submit a write-up. The certificate is issued on a pass and can be verified from its link.
Learning paths. Courses can be grouped into an ordered path that issues its own certificate when every course in it is complete.
Bootcamp or War Zone?
Bootcamp is for learning a topic you don't know yet. War Zone is for practicing topics you already know, against operations that open and close on their own dates. The War Zone + Bootcamp plan includes both.
This page doesn't list the course catalog. Every course has a preview module open to a free account, so the quickest way to judge one is to read its first module. If you are choosing for a batch of students, a training institute is better served by the Pro and Enterprise organization plans, which add private content and curriculum management.
