Capabilities

Everything you need to actually understand the wire.

We stripped the noise out of network education. What's left is the part where you build, break and observe.

01

Interactive Simulations

Step through TCP handshakes, ARP requests and OSPF convergence — frame by frame, in your browser.

02

Gamified Progress

XP, streaks, and adaptive review surfaces what you don't remember yet — without the dopamine traps.

03

Network Builder

Drag routers and switches onto a canvas. Wire them up. Watch packets actually flow.

04

Terminal Emulator

A real-feeling shell with ping, traceroute, dig and nmap — sandboxed and safe to experiment in.

05

Completion Certificate

A signed, verifiable credential when you finish. Shareable, embeddable, ready for LinkedIn.

06

Bilingual Support

Every lesson, simulation and quiz available in English and Türkçe — toggle anywhere, anytime.

Learning path

Five levels. Twenty-two lessons. One coherent story.

Start with the physical wire. End with the modern internet. Unlock as you go.

L1

Physical & Link

Cables, frames, MAC addresses, switches and the bottom two layers.

62%+240 XP
L2

Network Layer

IP addressing, subnetting, routing and the protocols that move packets.

18%+320 XP
L3

Transport & Sessions

TCP, UDP, congestion control and the contract beneath every connection.

0%+380 XP
L4

Application Layer

DNS, HTTP, TLS, mail and the protocols you actually touch daily.

0%+440 XP
L5

Modern Internet

BGP, CDNs, QUIC, IPv6 and the architecture that holds it all together.

0%+520 XP
Recognition

Finish the path. Earn a credential that means something.

A signed certificate of completion — verifiable on-chain via a public registry, designed to live on your LinkedIn or résumé without looking like a participation trophy.

  • Verifiable signature with a permanent public URL
  • Detailed transcript of every lesson and simulation
  • Shareable on LinkedIn, Twitter, and embeddable on personal sites
