You can ask HuntBot many questions about using HuntCode, such as finding lessons, getting help with labs, or understanding cybersecurity concepts. To get the best results, use clear trigger words or short commands that tell HuntBot what you want. You can view all available commands at any time by asking "commands" inside HuntBot.
Questions About Lessons and Modules
Any time you don’t fully understand a topic in a lesson or module, you can ask HuntBot to break it down. Mention the concept or copy a short excerpt so it knows what to focus on.
- Concept explanations: "Explain defense-in-depth in simple terms."
- Rephrasing: "Can you reword this section of the lesson?"
- Comparisons: "What’s the difference between a SIEM and a log aggregator?"
Help With Labs, Code Cards, and Quizzes
HuntBot can walk through labs, code cards, and quiz topics with you. It can’t bypass the work for you, but it can help you reason through steps and debug issues along the way.
- Lab walkthroughs: "Guide me through the main steps of this lab."
- Debugging: "Here’s the error I’m seeing—what does it mean?"
- Quiz review: "I missed a question about log sources—can you explain that topic?"
Study Planning and Career-Aligned Support
Beyond individual questions, you can ask HuntBot for help planning what to study, how topics connect, or how skills map to real-world roles. This makes it easier to see where you’re headed, not just what you’re doing today.
- Next steps: "What should I study after finishing this module?"
- Skill mapping: "How does this content relate to a SOC analyst role?"
- Practice ideas: "Give me practice scenarios for incident response."
If you’re unsure whether HuntBot can help with something, just ask. It’s designed to respond to natural language, so you don’t need special commands to get started.
