Real screens, not promises

Every lesson is hands-on: a terminal, a scam to outsmart, a site to debug. This is the app, as-is.

$ why rooty

Learn security, game-style

3-minute lessons

Quizzes, commands to complete, suspicious lines to spot, cards to sort: you learn by playing, not by reading walls of text.

A real terminal in your pocket

Type Linux commands in a simulated terminal, dig through fictional servers and find the flags, without breaking anything.

Real-world cases

Phishing emails, buggy websites, attack logs, fake scam chats: you train on what you'll actually run into.

The drive of a game

Daily streak, XP, quests, chests, weekly leagues and badges: enough to keep coming back every day.

24 paths, from beginner to pro

From Linux basics to Active Directory, forensics or AI red teaming, with a boss at the end of each section.

100% legal and ethical

Everything happens in fictional environments. You learn how attacks work to better defend against them.

FAQ

Is Rooty free?

Yes: the first section of every path is free, with no time limit. Rooty Premium unlocks all content, unlimited hearts and themes, with a free trial (7 days on the yearly plan, 3 days on the monthly plan).

Do I need any experience?

No. The Fundamentals path starts from scratch: the terminal, files, networking, the web. Advanced paths come next.

Is learning hacking legal?

Yes. Rooty teaches offensive and defensive security in simulated environments. Using these techniques on a system without permission is illegal, and Rooty reminds you of it at every step.

Which languages?

English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
