HackerTech / 2026

The attack chain

An end-to-end intrusion. Five machines, three networks and an attack chain we built for HackerTech.

Explore the experience
Behind the project

Co-created an end-to-end intrusion experience with Franco Lautaro Gregorat. A lab where each discovery unlocks the next step in an interconnected attack chain.
