Five stages from studying to standing out.

The program starts at stage one and sets you up for the rest. Each stage says what happens in it and what you leave with.

  1. In the program

    Learn ethical hacking practically

    Recon and scanning, web vulnerabilities, exploitation, password attacks, Linux privilege escalation. Every technique hands-on, inside a safe and legal lab.

  2. In the program

    Compete in CTFs and hackathons

    Timed challenges in small squads, scored like a real competition. You leave ready to enter the CTFs and cybersecurity hackathons that run in Kuwait and online.

  3. After the program

    Work toward certifications

    A practical foundation toward professional certifications such as eJPT and Security+. You sit those separately; the readiness starts here.

  4. After the program

    Explore bug bounty

    Practice on live programs the legal way: pick a scope, test it, write the report. Recognition and rewards happen; they are not promised.

  5. The point of it all

    Stand out

    “I competed. I solved challenges. I built practical skills.” That sentence is what separates you from a CV that only lists programs.

What you will actually do

Six techniques. You practice every one of them yourself, in a lab built to be broken. Legal, supervised, and safe by design.

01

Recon & scanning

Look at a system from the outside and map every way in, before you touch it.

Tools: nmap · whois · dirb
02

Web vulnerabilities

Find the kind of flaw behind real breaches, on lab websites built to be broken.

Tools: Burp Suite · OWASP Top 10
03

Exploitation

Turn a weakness into real access, and understand exactly why it worked.

Tools: Metasploit · payloads
04

Password attacks

See how fast a weak password falls, with the tools security teams use on their own systems.

Tools: Hydra · John · hashcat
05

Privilege escalation

Start as an ordinary user and finish in control of the whole machine, legally.

Tools: Linux · linPEAS
06

CTF challenges

Race the clock on challenges built like a real competition, with a scoreboard and a team.

Tools: Squad play · write-ups

What you walk away with

Four things you can show anyone who asks what you can do.

A working method

A repeatable way to test a target legally, start to finish.

Solved challenges

CTF solves and a ranking with your name on it.

Reports you wrote

Findings documented the way professionals document them.

A clear next step

The practical half of eJPT and Security+ already behind you.

Two weeks now. Ten weeks when you are ready.

Ethical Hacking is the on-ramp. The Cybersecurity Bootcamp is the full road. Start where you are.

You are here

Ethical Hacking

Two weeks of offence: recon, exploitation, CTFs. Built for people still in high school or university, at a price set for them.

Length

2 weeks

Who it’s for

High school & university

Cybersecurity Bootcamp

Ten weeks in the evenings, attack and defence both — the professional track for people going to work in security. Many arrive having done this first.

Who it’s for

Professionals

Be honest with yourself.

This program is built for the people ready to do the work.

This is for you if

You are in high school or university. You would rather solve a challenge than collect another slide deck. You want proof, not just paper.

It is not for you if

You only want another certificate. You expect results without practice. You have already graduated — the Cybersecurity Bootcamp is your door, not this one.

Apply once, train hands-on, finish with proof.

A straightforward run from application to something you can show.

  1. Apply online

    Send a short application on the CODED portal.

  2. Get selected

    Receive your acceptance and the cycle details.

  3. Train in the lab

    Attend the sessions and work through the challenges.

  4. Compete and show

    Finish with solved challenges and a write-up to show.

Your questions, answered.

The eight things people ask before they apply.

Who can join?

High school and university only. That is who the program is built for, and why it is 145 KD rather than bootcamp tuition. If you have already graduated, the Cybersecurity Bootcamp is your door.

Do I need experience?

No. The program starts from practical foundations. Being comfortable with a computer helps; hacking experience is not required. Bring a laptop — the lab environment is provided.

How is this different from the Cybersecurity Bootcamp?

Length and depth. This is two weeks of offence — recon, exploitation, CTFs — for people still studying. The bootcamp is ten weeks of attack and defence for people going to work in security.

How is this different from Kuwait Codes?

Kuwait Codes introduces you to cybersecurity. This program starts preparing you to compete in it and prove what you can do.

Do I get to compete?

Inside the program, yes: CTF-style challenges scored like a real competition. After it you are ready to enter the CTFs and cybersecurity hackathons that run in Kuwait and online. Entering is on you; the preparation happens here.

Do I get eJPT or Security+?

No certification is granted by finishing the program. It builds a practical foundation toward professional certifications such as eJPT and Security+, which you sit separately.

Is this legal?

Yes. Everything is ethical, legal, and done inside safe labs built for training. The rules of engagement are taught alongside the techniques.

How do I pay?

The program is 145 KD. Pay in full at registration, or split it into four payments of 36.250 KD with Tabby at no extra cost.
