ASK QUESTIONS.FOLLOW THE CLUES.UNDERSTAND THE WHY.
HELLO, WE’RE RECONHACK
Technology makes more sense when you get to explore it.
ReconHack Labs is a learning platform in development for people who want to understand how systems work—and how to keep them secure.
Our starting point is simple: learning should invite you to try, investigate, and ask “why?” We’re bringing clear explanations and focused challenges together, so new ideas become skills you can actually use.
“Recon” is about looking closer. “Hack” is about creative problem-solving. At ReconHack, that curiosity has a responsible purpose: understanding technology and becoming a better defender.
THREE CONNECTED WORLDS
Build practical web security skills in 3 months.
A planned three-month learning path: start with Linux, understand networks, then put those foundations into practice in web security.
In development. Here is what we are planning for each month, with practical tasks to help you apply what you learn.
● ● ●>_ ▌hello, linux
MONTH 1 / LINUX
Make yourself at home in the shell.
Learn to work confidently in a Linux environment and understand the system behind your tools.
Navigate directories, create files, and search text.
Manage users, groups, and file permissions.
Inspect processes, services, packages, and logs.
Write simple Bash scripts for repeatable tasks.
Practice goal: Set up a Linux workspace, configure file access, and write a simple script.MONTH 2 / NETWORKING
Connect the dots. Then the devices.
Understand how devices communicate and learn to investigate common connection problems.
Understand IP addresses, subnets, and routing basics.
Explain DNS, TCP/UDP, and common ports.
Follow HTTP requests and the role of HTTPS.
Inspect traffic and troubleshoot in a lab network.
Practice goal: Trace a browser request from DNS lookup to response and document a connection issue.MONTH 3 / WEB SECURITY
Understand web risks. Build better defenses.
Apply your foundations to common web application weaknesses and ways to prevent them.
Understand authentication, sessions, and access control.
Explore SQL injection and cross-site scripting in training labs.
Inspect requests with browser tools and a web proxy.
Explain findings, impact, and practical fixes.
Practice goal: Assess a deliberately vulnerable training app and produce a short findings report with fixes.
Security exercises will use purpose-built labs or systems you have permission to test. The three-month path is a learning plan; your progress will depend on your starting point and practice.
