Why I Built Backdoors.ai
I created Backdoors.ai after experiencing firsthand how frustrating it can be to learn cybersecurity. Like many, I spent countless hours wading through dry textbooks and disconnected tutorials, overwhelmed by theory but missing the practical skills employers actually value.
The traditional path wasn't working. Courses were either too basic or dropped you into challenges without any real guidance, leaving you stuck and frustrated. I wanted to build what I wish I had when I started: a platform that combines real-world hacking scenarios with just-in-time AI guidance.
Backdoors.ai represents my vision for cybersecurity education, learning by doing real work, supported by an AI mentor that helps you overcome obstacles without handing you the answers. Because the best learning happens when you're challenged, supported, and never left behind.
