Learning Paths and Labs
WWT's Labs and Learning provides on-demand and hands-on education with practical experience and skill-building.
Zscaler Zero Trust Lab
Zscaler is responsible for securing more than 400 of the Forbes Global 2000 companies. They provide security as a service delivered through a purpose-built, globally distributed platform. The focus of this lab is zero trust access utilizing a solution known as Zscaler Private Access (ZPA). ZPA is a cloud service that provides seamless, zero trust access to private applications running on public cloud or within the data center. With ZPA, applications don't need to be exposed to the internet, making them completely invisible to unauthorized users. This service enables the applications to connect to users via inside-out connectivity versus extending the network to them. It disrupts legacy approaches to remote access such as traditional VPN, establishing per-service dynamic encryption and trust evaluation.

Nexus Dashboard 4.x Learning Series
This learning series begins with the fundamental concepts of Cisco Nexus Dashboard 4.1, giving you a strong foundation in platform architecture, device management, and network visibility. You'll then move into Day 0, 1, and 2 operations, covering switch onboarding, initial configuration, ongoing management, and operational workflows to maintain a healthy network. The series culminates with building VXLAN EVPN fabrics, including advanced tasks like external route advertisement, route leaking, and Multi-Site Domain integration, giving hands-on experience with scalable, distributed data center architectures, all managed through the unified Nexus Dashboard interface.

AI and Cyber Range
The Infection Core CTF
The Infection Core is an intermediate‑level cyber defense challenge focused on reverse engineering, malware analysis, memory forensics, and cryptanalysis.
Players are tasked with responding to an urgent incident: an autonomous cyber‑weapons division has lost control of a highly advanced malware project known as SHIVR, which has escaped onto the public web. Your mission is to track, analyze, and ultimately neutralize SHIVR before it compromises your own infrastructure—all while SHIVR actively works to counter your efforts.
Tools utilized in the game include:
🔷IDA/Ghidra (disassemblers & reverse engineering suites)
🔷Wireshark (traffic analysis)
🔷John the Ripper (password cracking)
🔷GDB (debugging)
🔷Frequency Analysis utilities (cryptanalysis)

Hands-On Lab Workshop: Infection Core
Join us for an immersive, hands-on Capture the Flag (CTF) experience designed for blue team enthusiasts and cybersecurity professionals. The Infection Core lab challenges you to track, contain, and neutralize SHIVR, an autonomous cyber weapon that has escaped onto the public web. Through a series of malware analysis, reverse engineering, memory forensics, and cryptanalysis challenges, you'll develop and test your skills in real-world scenarios. This lab goes beyond surface-level analysis, pushing you to uncover hidden logic and defend critical infrastructure against advanced threats.
