Frequently Asked Questions

What is a "powered-by" cybersecurity training platform?
A powered-by platform is infrastructure a training company, bootcamp, or enterprise runs under its own brand — own logo, own domain, own certificates — instead of building and hosting the labs, grading, and certification systems itself. 0Labs is a powered-by platform: the end customer (a student or candidate) sees the training company's brand throughout, with a small "Powered by 0Labs" mark as the only attribution.
How is 0Labs different from TryHackMe or HackTheBox?
TryHackMe and HackTheBox sell directly to individual learners under their own brand. 0Labs sells to training companies, bootcamps, universities, and enterprises who want to run the same kind of real hands-on labs and verifiable certifications under their OWN brand for their OWN students or employees — 0Labs is the infrastructure underneath, not the brand the end learner sees.
Are the labs real containers, or a simulation?
Real. Each lab session provisions an isolated Docker container per student (not a shared environment, not a scripted/canned terminal) with real tools available — nmap, sqlmap, and whatever else a challenge calls for — against a real vulnerable target container on a private network. The container is torn down when the session ends.
How do I verify a 0Labs certificate is real?
Every 0Labs certificate has a public verify page at 0labs.cc/verify/<credential-id> — no login required. It also ships with a scannable QR code linking directly to that page, and an Open Badges v2 compatible hosted assertion. If you only have the credential ID, you can look it up directly at 0labs.cc/verify.
Can 0Labs be used for candidate hiring assessments?
Yes. A hiring team sends a candidate a one-time link; the candidate solves real challenges against a live target in a browser-based terminal (no local setup), and the hiring team receives a scored report with per-challenge timing and a full command audit log.
What does 0Labs cost?
0Labs is a subscription priced per active student, with tiers scaled to concurrent lab usage. A free live demo is available with no signup required at 0labs.cc/demo.
What topics/domains does 0Labs cover?
Web application security (SQL injection, XSS, and related OWASP-class vulnerabilities), cloud security (AWS/Azure/GCP misconfiguration exploitation), AI & LLM security (prompt injection, jailbreaks against sandboxed AI assistants), and enterprise security awareness (phishing simulation, incident response).
