HACKR.GG
Learning cybersecurity is hard when you get stuck and have nobody to ask. Eliza is an AI tutor built into every course and lab on Hackr.GG — she knows what you're studying and explains it in plain language.
Most people who try to learn cybersecurity hit the same wall. The course explains a concept. They nod along. Then they sit in front of a lab and have no idea where to start. They search Google, land on a Stack Overflow thread from 2014, get more confused, and eventually give up.
The missing piece isn't more content. It's someone to ask.
That's why we built Eliza — an AI cybersecurity tutor built directly into Hackr.GG. She lives in the corner of every course, lab, and academy page. She knows exactly what you're studying. And she explains things like a patient teacher, not a textbook.
Eliza is not a generic chatbot. She's aware of which module you're in, which task you're on, and what topic you're covering. When you ask her a question, she answers in the context of what you're learning — not just a copy-paste from Wikipedia.
Ask her "what is SQL injection?" while you're inside the SQL Injection module and she won't just define it. She'll explain it in terms of what you've just read, connect it to the lab you're about to run, and walk you through the thinking behind the attack.
One of the frustrating things about AI tools in security education is that they refuse to engage with the subject. Ask most AI assistants how SQL injection works and they hedge, add disclaimers, or outright refuse.
Eliza doesn't do that. She's built for an authorized education platform where the whole point is to learn offensive techniques in a safe, legal environment. Asking her how a race condition works, how to use ffuf, or what a CSRF token bypass looks like gets you a real answer — the same answer a senior security engineer would give a junior they were mentoring.
The only line she won't cross is helping you target real systems or real people. That's the right line.
Eliza is available across the platform anywhere learning happens:
The floating button sits in the bottom-right corner. Click it and the panel opens. That's it.
Eliza remembers your conversation per course. Close the tab, come back tomorrow — the thread picks up where you left off. Each course has its own separate history so you're not mixing up conversations from different topics.
For longer sessions, she compacts old messages into a summary automatically. You'll see "Compacting conversation..." in the chat — she's summarizing what was covered so she can keep the full context without losing track of earlier questions.
Eliza defaults to beginner mode. If you ask what TOCTOUmeans she won't assume you know what a race condition is — she'll start from scratch and build up. If you already know the basics and want to go deeper, just tell her. She adjusts.
The goal is to make Hackr.GG feel less like a course platform and more like having a knowledgeable friend you can ask anything. Someone who'll give you a straight answer at 11pm when you're stuck on a lab and there's nobody else to ask.
Free users get 10 messages with Eliza per day — enough to get unstuck, ask a few follow-up questions, and keep moving. The counter resets every day.
Pro users get unlimited access across all pages, with full history persistence and no daily cap. If you're actively working through a career path or deep in a long lab session, Pro means Eliza is there the whole way through.
The standard model for online security education is: watch a video, read some text, try a lab, get stuck, give up or search for writeups. Writeups spoil the whole thing. Videos don't answer follow-up questions.
Eliza is our attempt to close that gap — to give every student something closer to a real learning experience, where questions get answered and concepts get explained rather than just presented.
She's live now. Open any course, click the button in the bottom-right corner, and ask her anything.
