Problem

When junior security engineers and university cybersecurity students try to use AI-powered reverse engineering tools (Ghidra+LLM, Binary Ninja AI, etc.) in practice, the lack of structured curricula forces 3-6 months of self-study. Setting up a practice environment alone takes 1-2 weeks.

Solution

Provides a cloud-based reverse engineering practice environment (Ghidra + AI plugin presets) accessible directly from the browser, with difficulty-tiered CTF challenges. Each challenge includes AI tool usage guides and step-by-step hints, with learning progress and skill level tracking.

Target: Cybersecurity university students (20s), junior security engineers (1-3 years experience), security training institution instructors
Revenue Model: Premium Subscription $21/month per individual, educational institution license $150/month per 30 users
Ecosystem Role: Education
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
