Open source self-hosted cyber security learning platform

## About The Project

[![](https://github.com/J4FSec/HaccTheHub/raw/main/images/home.png)](https://github.com/J4FSec/HaccTheHub/blob/main/images/home.png)

HaccTheHub is an open source project that provides cyber security

The HaccTheHub system consists of 3 main parts:

- Docker: containing all of the boxes creating the environment in which we’ll be learning on.
- The backend: controlling Docker and responsible for starting/destroying indivisual box in the system and managing the networking that joins them into a unified system.
- The frontend: GUI for the user to interact with the system via their web browser.

### Built With

- [Flask-RESTX](https://github.com/python-restx/flask-restx)
- [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/)

## Getting Started

To get HaccTheHub up and running, you would need to setup the followings

### Prerequisites

- Docker (refer to [Docker’s Documentation](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) for setup)
- Python 3 ([Download](https://www.python.org/downloads/)) or just install `python3` from your package manager.
- Node.js 16 ([Download](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)) or use your [package manager](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/)

### Installation

1. Clone the repo

git clone [https://github.com/J4FSec/HaccTheHub.git](https://github.com/J4FSec/HaccTheHub.git)

1. Install dependencies for the backend

cd HaccTheHub/backend python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

1. And dependencies for the frontend

cd ../client npm install

## Usage

1. Start up Docker
