Secnuro Academy is an online cybersecurity training platform built around the idea of “Learn by hacking” — learning real skills through hands-on offensive labs. Its pages list 80+ lab machines, 24 learning paths, CTF, Blog, Leaderboard, and other modules, and say it serves 1,247 active students or cybersecurity professionals. Rather than a traditional video-course platform, it is closer to a practical training product that combines a cyber range with structured learning paths.
Based on the captured content, the course areas include Web Application Hacking, Network Penetration Testing, ICS / OT Offensive Security, SOC Analyst Fundamentals, Red Team Operations, and Cloud Security AWS/Azure. Example lab machines include Vulnix, CorpNet, and ScadaSim, covering topics such as SQL injection, SSH, SUID privilege escalation, SMB enumeration, sudo misconfiguration, Modbus TCP, and PLC register operations. The main delivery format appears to be online labs, target machines, and structured paths. No information was found about live classes, recorded videos, or 1-on-1 coaching, nor is it clear whether assignments are reviewed or mentors answer questions.
The platform supports getting started for free. Its terms state that Pro costs ₹999/month and Elite costs ₹2,499/month, both with monthly auto-renewal and cancellation available from the account page. The refund policy allows a refund within 7 days of payment, provided no labs have been accessed. Pricing transparency is acceptable, but the pages do not explain the specific differences in benefits between plans. There is no clear description of certifications or certificates, so it is not possible to determine whether completion certificates or industry-recognized certifications are offered.
The main strengths are its focus on realistic labs and no-fluff training, with paths ranging from Beginner to Expert, making it suitable for building skills through practice. It also covers more specialized areas such as ICS/OT, which helps distinguish it from courses focused only on web security or general penetration testing. The downside is limited disclosure: instructors are only described as “built by practitioners,” with no specific backgrounds given. The teaching language, payment methods, course duration, learning objectives, and support services are also not clearly stated. The captured content also showed abnormal placeholder text in a Linux Fundamentals course, which may indicate that some pages are still incomplete.
Secnuro Academy is better suited to cybersecurity beginners willing to learn hands-on, penetration testing learners, entry-level SOC learners, advanced users interested in ICS/OT offense and defense, and CTF enthusiasts. If you need systematic video explanations, Chinese-language instruction, certificate endorsement, or mentor-led guidance, you should approach it with caution. There is no textual evidence regarding access from mainland China, network stability, or payment availability, so these remain unknown. Alternatives to compare include TryHackMe, Hack The Box Academy, PortSwigger Web Security Academy, LetsDefend, and CyberDefenders.
