Haaukins
A highly accessible and automated virtualization platform for security education and capture-the-flag exercises.
What is Haaukins?
Haaukins is a virtualization platform built for cybersecurity education, automating the deployment of virtual environments where users can practice capture-the-flag exercises and vulnerability discovery. It combines Docker and VirtualBox orchestrated via Go to provide isolated, intentionally vulnerable systems for hands-on learning. The platform solves the problem of setting up complex security training environments by automating deployment and management.
Cybersecurity students, educators, and professionals looking to practice CTF challenges and vulnerability discovery in controlled, self-hosted environments. Organizations running internal security training programs would also benefit.
Developers choose Haaukins because it offers a highly accessible, automated way to create virtualized security labs without manual setup. Its use of Go for concurrency enables efficient environment management, and its self-hosted nature provides full control over training infrastructure.
