    The Problem

    Most Cyber Training Teaches People to Pass a Test

    Static scenarios and fixed answer keys produce certificates, not capability. Teams learn the exercise instead of the tradecraft, then face an adversary that never reads the answer key. We build training the other way around.

    The Purple Outcome

    Red and Blue, Built to Understand Each Other

    Purple is not a team on an org chart. It is what you get when red and blue understand each other's domain well enough to anticipate each other. Our red, blue, and specialization tracks are built to produce that cross-domain understanding.

    Three Ways to Build Readiness

    Instructor-led pipelines, always-on asynchronous content, and live exercise generation powered by an automated adversary.

    CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

    What k>fivefour students are saying

    As someone with a red team background, I appreciated that it baselines people on the core concepts and on Cobalt Strike, the most common C2 tooling out there, while still resurfacing fundamentals even experienced operators forget. The DoW Certified Red Team (DCRT) approved logging methodology alone was one of the most valuable parts, and it's something every red team should be doing.

    DoW Red Team Operator

    As my first time using Cobalt Strike and performing Red Teaming activities, I really appreciated how the course followed a realistic scenario, from phishing through to gaining full control of a network. It made the experience very engaging and helped me clearly understand the power of the tools used throughout.

    I expected surface-level material and got the opposite. It goes deep on high-level Linux exploitation, starts you on the fundamentals, then ramps up fast. The hands-on labs and writing up my own work are what made it stick, and the 9-hour final in a real-world lab environment made me prove I actually understood it.

    I came in a little skeptical about how much could be covered in such a short amount of time, but the content was delivered really well. I was very impressed by the coverage of lateral movement, persistence, and getting a feel for how to move around an enterprise network.

    I came in with more than a decade of offensive security experience on Linux, likely well ahead of the typical student, and k>fivefour still stood out. They build the course the way a real Red Team assessment works, grounded in capability proven on live networks.
