Our Methodology

Most cybersecurity training fails because it teaches tools, not thinking. HACKIDIA takes a different approach: immersive, scenario-based operations that build the investigator's mindset.

Mindset over techniques

Tools change every year. But the mindset, the ability to correlate, hypothesize, and prove, whether you're on defense, offense, or forensics, is permanent.

How do I know this log entry matters?

What should I look for next?

How does this evidence connect to what I found yesterday?

Can I prove this to a prosecutor?

These are the questions our operations teach your team to answer. Not "which tool do I run" but "what am I looking for and why."

The HACKIDIA Protocol

1

Narrative-Driven

Every operation tells a story. Named characters brief your team. Real organizations are under attack. You're not solving puzzles. You're running an investigation.

2

Authentic Evidence

Actual PCAPs, Windows event logs, Apache logs, forensic images, live Active Directory, vulnerable web apps. Production-grade artifacts.

3

Progressive Complexity

Day 1 is reconnaissance. By the final day, your team conducts attribution, builds prosecution files, or executes full-chain operations.

4

Scored & Competitive

Every mission scored. Leaderboards for motivation. Time tracking for pressure. Post-session reports for management.

Full spectrum coverage

6 operations covering the complete security spectrum. 132 hands-on missions.
