Invite-only accessEight NET-101 lessons and the HARBOR-7 Duel are being tested through Discord.

Paired curriculum · solo practice · solo competition

NET-101 is live for invited testers. The wider HackSim.io platform is still being built.

The current Discord Activity includes eight NET-101 lessons for Solo and Pair, plus one session-only HARBOR-7 Duel. Progress, results, rankings, belts, and payments are not saved in this beta.

Available in private betaThis section describes the hosted NET-101 tester build, not the future platform.

What exists today

A focused private beta,
with honest limits.

HackSim.io currently tests one course and three ways to practice it. Everything below is present in the hosted tester build.

Eight applied NET-101 lessons

Solo and Pair currently share one complete eight-lesson Network Foundations course. Each lesson moves through Blue decisions, a role swap, Red decisions, and a debrief.

Solo and two-seat Pair

Solo mirrors both roles on one device. Pair gives two invited testers distinct evidence and requires both people to propose, revise, and lock decisions together.

One session-only Duel

The HARBOR-7 Duel lets two testers work one incident from opposing roles, swap seats, and review an in-session result. It is not ranked matchmaking.

Evidence-led debriefs

The current build records decisions and consequences inside the live session so testers can review what happened. Those records do not become account credentials.

Hosted Discord Activity

The beta runs on Vercel with Supabase Realtime transport. Invited testers launch it through Discord; a developer computer does not need to stay online.

A deliberately narrow boundary

There are no saved completions, rankings, belts, payments, prizes, or public signup in this release. We are testing the learning loop before adding a platform around it.

Available in private betaNET-101 is available now. Every course, credential, and competitive system beyond it is marked Coming Soon.

Curriculum

One complete course now.
The rest is clearly labeled.

Invited testers can run all eight NET-101 lessons in Solo or Pair. The current build does not award progression, credentials, or league placement.

Available in private betaHARBOR-7 is the only Duel contract in this beta. It is unranked, invite-only, and session-only.

1v1 Duel Mode

Test one incident head-to-head.
Red vs Blue.

Two invited testers operate one HARBOR-7 incident, swap roles, and review an in-session result. No result becomes a rating, belt, wager, credential, or saved match record.

Attack Phase

Gather evidence, choose tools, and
act inside the shared incident.

VS
SWAP
Defend Phase

Read telemetry, investigate, and
respond inside the same incident.

No public matchmaking. Both testers must already have Discord App Tester access.

Invite-only accessThere is no public signup or waitlist form. Access is granted through Discord App Tester invitations.

Private Discord beta

Testing is invite-only.

The hosted MVP is available only to developers and App Testers who HackSim explicitly invites through Discord. There is no public signup form on this page.

Invited testers launch from Discord.

Accept the App Tester or developer-team invitation, enable Discord's Application Test Mode, and use the application ID in the invitation. The Activity runs on Vercel and Supabase; no developer computer needs to stay online.

This test has no payments, wagers, saved progression, rankings, or belts. This page does not collect or submit your email address.

Coming SoonSecure-coding, AI-review, and pull-request tracks are roadmap concepts, not lessons in the current NET-101 beta.

Winter of 2026

Planned developer track

Secure-code training is a direction,
not a released product.

HackSim.io is currently focused on validating NET-101. A developer curriculum may follow only after its lessons, scoring, and evidence model have been built and tested.

Concept preview / reentrancy review
// FUTURE TRACK EXAMPLE — NOT A LIVE HACKSIM.IO LESSON
function withdraw(uint amount) external {
    require(balances[msg.sender] >= amount);
    (bool ok,) = msg.sender.call{value: amount}("");
    require(ok);
    balances[msg.sender] -= amount;
}

// Review prompt:
// What state changes before control leaves this contract?

A roadmap preview,
clearly separated from the beta.

The example shows the kind of reasoning a future track could teach. It is illustrative copy only: HackSim.io does not currently offer this lesson, language tracks, automated code analysis, or developer-team metrics.

Current focus: make the eight-lesson NET-101 experience worth replaying before expanding into new audiences or disciplines.

Secure coding patterns

Planned lessons would turn common code-level vulnerability shapes into bounded review and repair exercises.

AI output review

A future track may ask developers to inspect generated code, identify unsafe assumptions, and explain a safer change.

Pull-request practice

Planned review sessions would focus on evidence, false-positive control, and clear communication before a change ships.

Team evidence

Any future team reporting would require persistent accounts, a privacy review, and validated scoring. None is active today.

Coming SoonThis is the intended progression loop. The private beta tests its sessions but does not save progression.

Winter of 2026

Planned progression model

The session loop exists.
The persistent system does not—yet.

01

Learn with a partner

The core curriculum pairs two learners on one bounded incident. Complementary Red and Blue responsibilities make communication, handoffs, scope, and judgment part of the lesson.

→
02

Practice solo

After the paired lesson, rehearse the unlocked skill independently. Procedural variation builds fluency without confusing solo completion with professional readiness.

→
03

Compete solo

Apply the skill against pressure, uncertainty, and an unpredictable opponent. Competition tests independent decisions after the collaborative foundation is in place.

→
04

Return and debrief

Bring the experience back to a paired session. Explain your decisions, compare perspectives, repair misunderstandings, and build evidence that a real team can trust.

Coming SoonEnterprise workspaces, private analytics, recruiter profiles, and team reporting are not available in the current beta.

Teams roadmap

Team and hiring features are planned,
not currently for sale.

The present HackSim.io build is an invited tester Activity, not an enterprise training service. These concepts remain on the roadmap and will require separate product, privacy, scoring, and deployment work.

Private team spaces

A future team release may provide controlled access and team-scoped sessions after the identity and privacy model is designed.

Environment-informed lessons

Custom curriculum is a research direction. HackSim.io does not currently scan customer code or infrastructure.

Competitive programs

Private leagues would require persistent ratings and validated scoring. Neither exists in the current beta.

Team reporting

Reporting is deferred until outcomes can be stored, explained, consented to, and audited responsibly.

Recruiting roadmap

No job board.
No invented candidate metrics.

HackSim.io does not currently publish Elo ratings, response-speed profiles, verified credentials, jobs, or candidate contact tools. If recruiting features are built, they will start from learner consent and explainable evidence.

Consented skill evidence

A future profile would show only evidence the learner has agreed to share.

Recruiter discovery

There is no recruiter marketplace, talent browser, or job board in the current release.
