Learn to defend.Think like an attacker.
THE PURPLE TEAM APPROACH
Attack + Defend = Complete Security
The best defenders understand offense. Our courses teach you to simulate attacks in your home lab, then build and test the defenses that stop them.
Red Team
Penetration testing techniques
Exploit development basics
Post-exploitation & pivoting
Adversary emulation
Purple Team
Home lab environments
Attack-then-detect exercises
Validate your detections
End-to-end scenarios
Blue Team
SIEM & log analysis
Incident response workflows
Detection engineering
Threat hunting techniques
Build your home lab and practice
#Simulate attacks | #Collect logs | #Write detections | #Validate alerts
Reproduce MITRE ATT&CK techniques in your own isolated lab, then turn them into detections using open tooling like Sysmon, and Elastic. You learn the why, the how, and the evidence.

FAQ
Do I need prior experience?
No professional red team or SOC experience needed. You should be comfortable in a terminal, know your way around Windows and Linux, and understand IP addresses, ports and DNS. The course starts by building the lab, then ramps into attack and detection work with the prerequisites stated per module. You do not need to be an expert to start.
What do I need for the home lab?
One computer, x86-64, with virtualization enabled (VT-x / AMD-V). 16 GB RAM minimum, 32 GB recommended, and 150 GB free disk. You'll run Kali Linux, Windows Server with Active Directory, DVWA and the Elastic Stack with Sysmon — every tool is free, including VMware Workstation Pro under its personal licence. Lab scope only: never run these techniques against systems you do not own.
I have an Apple Silicon Mac. Can I take this course?
Not on the Mac itself. Windows Server does not run on ARM, so the lab needs an x86-64 host — a Windows or Linux PC, or a spare machine. If that's your only computer, wait until you have access to one rather than buying and getting stuck at Module 3.
What do I get, and how long do I keep it?
Ten modules, around sixty lessons, and a capstone where you attack a web application and write the detection that catches it. Lifetime access to the course and every future update — not six or twelve months like most training. Support runs through the Malvik Discord community. Enrolment opens to the waitlist first.
Founding cohort opens soon
Purple Team Detection Engineering is $349 USD with lifetime access — the course and every future update.
The founding cohort pays less ($50). Do not wait until the price goes up.
