What is Skill Dive and how does it differ from Pentester Academy's labs?
Skill Dive is home to 2,400+ labs and lab collections across cybersecurity, networking, and cloud - exclusive to Skill Dive.
PTA Labs with Better Delivery: INE has updated and reorganized all relevant PTA labs into NEW collections, exclusive to Skill Dive, that align with current cybersecurity challenges and threats.
New Hands-On Labs: INE adds new labs each month, including CVEs, CTFs and more, to deliver continuous, hands-on training. We already have hundreds of cybersecurity labs on Skill Dive that aren’t available on PTA.
Improved Discoverability: Finding labs in PTA was tough - so we’ve improved navigation and discoverability in Skill Dive to get you to the labs you want faster.
