Could you build this?
No Building an interactive cybersecurity academy requires ephemeral, isolated multi-tenant virtual sandbox infrastructure, deep security curriculum design, and automated vulnerability validation engines.
What it would actually take: A production version requires cloud orchestration (Kubernetes/Firecracker microVMs or Proxmox) that dynamically provisions isolated target networks per user on demand. It needs custom agents to monitor attack progress, capture flags, and evaluate forensic evidence safely without exposing host infrastructure. Designing the challenge scenarios and real-world attack vectors requires senior offensive security and DevSecOps engineering expertise.
