The Research and Practice They Learn From

In 2009, OffSec launched the Exploit Database, a non-profit, public-service archive of public exploits, proof-of-concept (PoC) code, shellcode, and security papers, which it still maintains as a free resource. It also acquired the open-source training project VulnHub, offers free labs in Proving Grounds Play, and recently added HackTrack. HackTrack offers live weekly training over a 10-week stretch. The first round of HackTrack focused on OSCP and was offered free to those with a Learn One or Course and Certification Bundle. A new HackTrack focused on OSAI is set to launch soon. 

Along the way, Try Harder became the security community’s shorthand for the persistence and dedication that a career in cybersecurity demands. In October 2026 at Singapore International Cyber Week, CEO Wang urged her Women in Cyber keynote audience to do hard things early that build confidence and resilience, noting, “If you don’t struggle through something, you will never become really great at it,” she said.
