How TSIP Works

Start with your track.

Membership gets you into offensive, defensive, compliance, or freelancing tracks. Pick whichever matches where you actually want to end up.

Real engagements, live.

Every week you're watching an actual client engagement, live: real penetration tests, real audits, the kind businesses actually pay for. Miss a session and it's still there, 300+ hours deep in the vault.

Getting paid is a different skill.

Knowing how to hack something and knowing how to get paid for it are two different skills, and most training only teaches the first one. This is where you learn the second: landing your first client, structuring contracts, building something recurring instead of chasing one gig at a time.

You're never figuring it out alone.

Every paid membership includes real 1-on-1 time with a mentor, plus a community full of people a few steps ahead of you and a few steps behind, so there's always someone to ask and someone asking you.

Most platforms hand you a simulated lab and call it real-world experience. TSIP's live sessions happen on actual client engagements, so what you're watching actually happened to a real business this week.
