Enter the underground. Track the threat. Illuminate the unknown.

What is the Dark Lab?
It’s not a training. It’s a mission.
In the hidden corners of the internet, threat actors move quickly and quietly. The Dark Lab drops you into their world, where leaked credentials, zero-day exploits, and covert operations blur the line between signal and noise. You won’t just observe—you’ll investigate. Guided by real intelligence, real data, and real stakes.
You’ll analyze real-world threat artifacts—credit card dumps, breached accounts, compromised infrastructure, and adversary activity. Then, using the IQ Report Generator, you’ll transform what you find into reports your CISO and SOC will actually use. This is threat hunting as it should be: focused, fast, and grounded in the way cybercriminals really operate.
