Hack-Alongs

What is a Hack-Along (HAL)?

A HAL is a structured set of chapters and lessons with virtual labs that accompany a public YouTube video from any of our training developers. Instead of just watching the dissection of an attack or learning a tool or skill, you get to “Hack-Along” with the presenter! HALs are between 30 – 120 minutes of student time and are presented with click-by-click instructions with screenshots. So, you’re never lost!

HALs comprise 99% instructional content with a small shoutout to other offerings on the JHT Platform to further one’s knowledge beyond what was just learned. HALs should be in the $20 – $50 range depending on the length of the content and the complexity of the virtual environment. Most will be only $20.

Some are even in a “Name Your Price” model, so it might even be cheaper! But trust us, cheaper doesn’t mean lesser quality!

Prerequisites

Although HALs come with step-by-step instructions, being comfortable with virtual environments and the given operating system are a plus.

Because the entire virtual environment is provided for you, you need nothing other than a computer, Internet access and your brain!
