The platform issues new virtual machines weekly, awards points for successful hacks, and ranks users on a global leaderboard. It serves more than 120,000 community members and offers private labs and recruitment pathways for enterprise clients including Jet.com and EY. Founded in 2017 by Haris Pylarinos, the product targets a wide range of skill levels with challenges that can take from minutes to days to complete.
