About Us

Hackers Academy is a global leader in offensive and defensive cyber consulting and training. Since its inception in 2013, Hackers Academy has delivered training to tens of thousands of students internationally.

Training Methodology

Hackers Academy prides itself with delivering high quality, fully practical trainings. Our trainers are recognized industry experts and they bring to the classroom decades of corporate and enterprise experience.

Fully Hands-on

With tens of labs and custom-built vulnerable machines our courses are 100% hands on. Within 30 minutes of starting the training, students will be immersed in the labs. Theory is kept at a minimum and the amount of practice students get is like no other courses they have experienced before.

Cloud Based

Unlike traditional labs, our labs are built in the cloud allowing students to access them anytime, anywhere. Each student will have their own separate network of real-life services and servers to hack way beyond the course duration. This helps students raise their confidence levels and increase their abilities.

Highly Professional

Without business skills, in the world of professional penetration testing, students will not make the cut. Our courses set the students up to carry themselves confidently talking to techies and executives alike. Students will learn how to respond to RFPs, scope engagements and create proposals.

Success Stories

This was my first training at Black Hat and this training was beyond what I expected. Amazing experience.

Has to be the most informative training class I’ve ever had. The preparation he put into the class outclasses many instructors that present here at Blac hat. Very lucky to have taken the class. A lot of take aways from the class to use at my company. Exactly why I came to this training.

Excellent value. Videos well-done (and I've made a few in my 33 years of math education). Instructor, Tarek, responds quickly to answer questions. Build your own VM lab and redo the hacks and expand. Command line learning and its usage is great review for Sec+ Cert, as well. Heh, if I can do this at 62 yrs old, you can, too. Best $ I've ever spent on any instruction, hands down. Check out other platforms and LMSs for sure, I certainly did my due diligence. H.A. offers a lot of room to experiment and grow as a learner. Whatever you choose to do, path you take, or platform you decide to try, keep a good notebook or journal on your learning, share your learning with others, and keep growing your skill sets as a life-long learner. Take good care!

The course was super fun and useful. I learned a lot, had a ton of fun, and became a better pen tester as a result. Teachers were great, classmates were great, and labs were awesome. More deep dive topics in infrastructure penetration testing.
John Doe
Engaging, interesting and easy to understand without being boring. Fastpaced and to the point. The instructor is a really, really good teacher. Good voice, engaging, easy to listen to. The course is captivating and you'll probably complete it in a couple of days. It's one of those courses where you're almost sad, when you've completed it, and you want it to continue.

This course is awesome!! One of the extremely few instructors that delivers with no fluff. I also recommend his site because it offers a virtual lab for you to follow along with if you haven’t configured your lab yet. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the subject matter. Better than Skillsoft and MeasureUp because it provides explanations based on practical application after the fact. Ya dig? Sho nuff!

From this course, i had reinforced much of the basic knowledge i picked up myself on internet about IT security and IT in general. Most helpful was the basic knowledge learnt about Kali and the commands used for purpose of ethical hacking. Completion of this beginner level course is definitely pushing me further to learn more about Kali or Linux OS and the way to become a properly trained ethical hacker.
