How did we
get here?
We started from absolutely nothing, and went from there to competing in and winning national cybersecurity competitions and interning with our local governmental institutions. None of that came from a class, so in March 2026 we started writing the class. We are still writing it.

Almost no high school teaches security.
The students who end up in it got there by luck: a parent in the field, or a teacher willing to run a club after hours.
So it started as a joke in Spanish class.
Él...es?
And yes, that’s what we named our ls lesson.
Then we started typing.
Every lesson, every lab, and the site underneath them, written by us. One rule: a lesson never gets to be longer than the idea inside it.
Three months later,
we ran boroCTF.
We wrote the challenges, stood up the infrastructure, and ran the whole weekend ourselves. Read the recap →

What $0
gets you.
- Lessons we wrote ourselves
- Short, one idea each, and every one typed by one of us.
- A Linux box in your browser
- A real terminal that’s yours to break. Nothing to install, and a school Chromebook is enough for everything but CyberPatriot prep.
- Hands-on challenges
- Find the flag, fix the setting, prove you did it.
- Certificates and class codes
- Finish a course, get a certificate anyone can check. Teachers get a class code for the whole group.
