Start at Lesson 1 and move forward. Each lesson is broken into micro‑presentations (short, clear screens — one concept at a time). This makes training realistic even with school and distractions.

1. Learn: read the micro‑presentations
2. (Paid) Drill: take the quiz and record your score
3. Prove: pass the belt exam to rank up

Ninjutsu rule: stay invisible to easy attacks. Reduce exposure, build discipline, and don’t become a target.

AI has scaled cyber threats: phishing, impersonation, password attacks, and automated scanning. This course trains teens to think like defenders: verify reality, recognize threats, reduce exposure, and build safer habits.

The goal is not “cool hacking.” The goal is defensive discipline: awareness, prevention, safe decision-making, and understanding how attacks unfold so they can be stopped.

Disclaimer: This course builds skills and discipline. It does not guarantee certifications, jobs, or outcomes.

Train like a defender in the shadows: spot traps, read systems, and lock them down. AI can generate confident “answers.” You’ll train what’s true, what’s risky, and what actually protects you.

• Be hard to fool: resist scams, impersonation, and manipulation
• Be hard to steal from: protect accounts, devices, and data
• Be hard to track: reduce your public footprint
• Earn belts: prove your skills under pressure

If you like strategy and “seeing the trap before it happens,” send this course to a friend.

• Security goals and threat thinking (how breaches unfold)
• Recon and footprint awareness (what’s exposed and why it matters)
• Network and service exposure concepts (“doors and windows”)
• Vulnerability scanning concepts and prioritization (defensive viewpoint)
• Authentication failures and defensive countermeasures
• Malware awareness and basic analysis thinking (safe, defender-oriented)
• Traffic awareness and interception risks (defender view)
• Social engineering defense habits
• Web application security fundamentals (common weaknesses + fixes)
• Wireless/mobile/IoT/cloud risk thinking and hardening essentials
• Cryptography basics: encryption, hashing, keys, signatures

• Defensive course. This dojo trains protection, not harm.
• No targeting real systems. Only learn on your own accounts/devices or authorized training environments.
• Permission is the line. “I was curious” is not a defense.
• Parent involvement encouraged for belt tests and accountability.

Ninjutsu mindset: control yourself first. Then control your security.

• Short training slides (micro‑presentations; one idea per screen)
• (Paid) Auto‑graded drills/quizzes with retries
• (Paid) Belt exams to prove progress
• Moodle tracking: scores, completion, progress history
• No technical DM support required — progress is designed to be independent

Learn → drill → test → rank up. That’s the dojo system.

Lesson ranges refer to the course training forms.

Belts are proof of skill. Belts are earned through drills and belt tests.

Passing score: 80%
Retries: Unlimited
Score policy: Best score counts (highest score recorded; retakes cannot lower record)
