CyberForge

// Foundation to Frontline

Two months of structured, daily lab work that forges fundamentals into working skill — on both sides of the fight.

2 Months On-site · Mohali Digital badge
The mission

CyberForge is where commitment starts. Over two months you’ll build the technical core every cyber professional stands on — networking, systems, and security operations — and then stress-test it from the attacker’s side.

The rhythm is relentless by design: learn it in the morning, run it in the lab by afternoon. You’ll work with Burp Suite, Metasploit, Wireshark and more on Netonelabs’ own lab environment — never a rented platform.

Graduates leave with defensible fundamentals and a clear next step: CyberElite, where skill becomes profession.

What you’ll train on
NL-200.01

Network Security

Architecture, segmentation, and the traffic-level truth of how intrusions move.

NL-200.02

Systems & Hardening

Administer and lock down Windows and Linux — the sysadmin skills security is built on.

NL-200.03

Offensive Fundamentals

Recon, scanning and exploitation basics — think like the adversary you’ll defend against.

NL-200.04

Defensive Operations

Logs, monitoring, and detection — your first shifts at the blue-team console.

NL-200.05

Web Application Security

Where most breaches start: OWASP-style flaws, found and fixed with Burp Suite.

NL-200.06

The Lab Gauntlet

A structured lab program that compounds week over week — build it, break it, defend it.
