THIS ISN'T A LAB. IT'S A WARZONE.

WHO ARE WE --> Barracks is the anti-CTF. We build live WarZones where vulnerabilities evolve, apps fight back, and hackers earn their scars. No hand-holding. No mercy.

Deploy Now - Beta Access

Forged by Hunters, For Hunters.

Barracks was forged by battle-scarred bug bounty hunters who've cracked into Fortune 500 systems. We saw a gap: traditional training teaches how to hack, not how to think like a hacker. So we built WarZones – live apps that mature over time.

Here, reported bugs get patched; new features (and flaws) emerge. Hackers earn scars, not flags.

No hypotheticals. No hand-holding. No spoon-feeding.
Just relentless, real-world chaos.

THIS ISN'T TRAINING, IT'S REPROGRAMMING.

Trusted by Industry Leaders

Trusted by innovators, enterprises, and security leaders.

HOW WARZONES WORK

"Not yet-another-Lab. It's Live-Fire Preparation."

DEPLOY INTO REAL-WORLD CHAOS

"Deploy into a Live App – No Training Wheels."

WarZones are live, hostile clones of social networks, ecommerce sites, and banking portals, etc. – stripped bare and seeded with real-world vulnerabilities. No hints. No hand-holding. Just raw code and a ticking clock. This is bug bounty realism.

EXPLOIT OR BE EXPLOITED

"Hunt Vulnerabilities Before They're Patched."

Find bugs. Report them like a pro. Miss one? It might vanish in the next update. This isn't CTF – there's no "solved" flag or Participation Trophies. Only scars earned in code combat.

ADAPT TO SURVIVE

"The App Evolves. The Bounty Game Demands It."

Based on reports and simulated dev cycles, we manually overhaul WarZones:

  • Patched Vulnerabilities → Old exploits die. New attack vectors emerge.
  • New Features Added → Expanded scope = fresh attack surfaces.
  • Fresh Flaws Injected → Mirroring real-world dev cycles.

Your job? Outpace the evolution or get left behind

THE BARRACKS ADVANTAGE - For Doers, not Thinkers.

Real-World Labs

We base each lab on real-world vulnerability reports reported by our team as well as Disclosed reports, ensuring you practice skills that directly translate to real bug bounty programs and security roles.

No Predefined Targets

Unlike typical CTFs, our labs don't spoon-feed vulnerabilities. You'll learn to think critically, just as you would on live targets.

Realistic Rules of Engagement

Experience rate limits, access restrictions, and other constraints that replicate professional bug bounty and security testing conditions.

Comprehensive Reporting Focus

Master the art of writing actionable, detailed reports. Good communication is as vital as finding the vulnerability itself.

WHY TRAIN AT BARRACKS?

"CTFs Teach You to Hack. WarZones Teach You to Think."

The Problem with Labs:

  • Predictable Puzzles, Unrealistic Scope: CTFs hand you a search bar and say "find XSS here." Real apps have 500 endpoints, zero hints, and no guarantees.
  • No Context Switching: Labs don't teach you to pivot from profile pages to APIs to admin panels mid-attack.
  • False Confidence: Finding 10 bugs in a CTF feels like mastery. Missing that one critical flaw in a Real app can mean a missed $10,000 payout—a reward that could redefine your career trajectory.

How WarZones Fix This:

  • Scaled-Down Realism: Apps mirror real targets (social networks, ecommerce) but with curated complexity. No hints. No scope limits. Just "there are bugs here somewhere – go find them."
  • Adaptive Unpredictability: Apps evolve like real products. Today's XSS might be tomorrow's patched vulnerability.
  • Skill Stacking, Not Silos: Learn to chain recon → exploitation → reporting → adaptation in one relentless cycle.
"CTFs are checkers. WarZones are 3D chess in a burning room."
