Does CodeLab connect to live systems?

- Updated
No. CodeLab does not connect to any live or external systems. Every exercise runs inside a fully isolated, browser-based environment that simulates real-world scenarios without accessing actual infrastructure or networks.
Safe, sandboxed execution
CodeLab is designed to be secure and predictable. All logic runs inside a controlled sandbox so that nothing you write can affect the internet, your machine, or any HuntCode systems.
- No network access: Code cannot make API calls or reach external endpoints.
- No live data: Everything you see in a lab is simulated for learning purposes.
- Isolated from other users: Your work cannot impact anyone else’s environment.
Why CodeLab uses simulation
Simulated environments give you the freedom to practice cybersecurity concepts without risk. They mirror real defensive scenarios while ensuring that challenges remain safe, reproducible, and consistent across all devices.
As CodeLab expands, additional simulated tools and workflows will be added, but exercises will always operate in a secure, isolated environment.
