2 modules live — Anthropic frontier research

AI red teaming,
reproduced.

Frontier security research turned into hands-on modules you can build in an afternoon. €39 per module, or €69 for the offense + defense bundle. No fluff. No certificates that no one recognizes. Working code you keep.

From red team paper to working agent in your terminal

Warface Academy turns every published frontier-security paper into a hands-on lab. Build the agent, watch it work, defend against it.

The gap

AI red teaming changed faster
than the courses did.

The biggest names in security training — SANS, OffSec, EC-Council — charge €2.000 to €8.700 for courses that don't yet teach what Claude Opus 4.5 did in December 2025: autonomously find $4.6M in smart contract exploits.

We translate every Frontier Red Team paper into a working module you can build, measure, and ship in 3 hours. €39 instead of €3.900.

Tactical Loop

3 hours. One agent. Code you keep.

01 / RESEARCH

Read the paper

10-minute summary of the source Anthropic paper. The numbers, the methodology, why it matters.

02 / BUILD

Reproduce in your terminal

Clone the repo. Run the setup. Build the agent step-by-step alongside the video. Working in 90 minutes.

03 / DEFEND

Patch what you broke

Every module ends with the defender mindset: how do you mitigate what you just built? You leave able to do both.

The Curriculum

15 modules, one per frontier paper.

Each module reproduces a specific piece of public research from Anthropic's Frontier Red Team and partners. New module every 1-2 weeks.

Measured

Measured. Not estimated.

Every cost / time / step number on this page comes from real reproducibility runs on Sonnet 4.5. Each module ships with its own logs; you can re-run with your own API key and check the math.

Smart-contract exploit agent

cost
$0.08
time
34s

Median across 5 runs against a deployed ReflectionToken contract on local anvil. Validator independently confirms attacker balance grew past 100e18 wei threshold. Stop reason: end_turn, all 5 runs.

M-08 · DEFENSE F1 = 1.00

Flask vulnerability scanner

$0.09
time
45s

Median across 4 runs against a Flask app with 5 planted CWE vulnerabilities (SQLi, hardcoded secret, path traversal, weak auth, stored XSS). All 4 runs found all 5 — TP=5, FP=0, FN=0. Scored against ground truth.

9 reproducibility runs total on Sonnet 4.5, May 2026. Every run logged in logs/run-*.json. Reproduce yourself with your own API key — the validator is independent of the agent's self-report.

Built For

Pentesters, blue teamers, and engineers who don't want to wait.

If you read the Anthropic blog and immediately wanted to try it yourself but got lost in setup, papers, and "where do I even start" — this is for you.

You should be comfortable with Python and the terminal. Solidity, Foundry, MCP — we'll teach you those.

Not Built For

Beginners or compliance-only roles.

  • You've never written a Python script.
  • You want a recognized certificate to put on LinkedIn (we issue our own, no industry recognition yet).
  • You want exploits against live targets. We're strictly local labs.
Notice

Ethics & legality

Every module is educational. All labs run against local sandboxed environments — forked blockchains, isolated VMs, your own code. No mainnet interaction. No targets you don't own.

We follow EU AI Act guidance and Dutch Wet Computercriminaliteit standards. Responsible disclosure pointers to SEAL.org and ENISA are included in every module.

FAQ

Questions before you commit €39

What do I actually get? +
A private GitHub repo with full code (yours to keep), ~3 hours of video lessons, step-by-step labs with tests that verify your progress, and a Discord invite for the community.
Do I need to pay for Claude API credits? +
Yes, you bring your own Anthropic API key. Typical cost per module: $2-8 in API usage. We track and display token spend in every lab so there are no surprises.
Is the certificate recognized? +
No, we don't pretend it is. You get a verifiable PDF certificate per module, but employers know Warface Academy as well as they know any new brand — which is barely. What you get is the working code in your GitHub, which actually demonstrates skill.
Refund policy? +
Full refund within 14 days, no questions asked (EU consumer law). After that, if a lab is broken and we can't fix it for you, you get refunded.
Is this affiliated with Anthropic? +
No. Warface Academy is an independent project. We reproduce public research that Anthropic and partners have published openly. We're not endorsed, sponsored, or otherwise associated with Anthropic.
Why so cheap? What's the catch? +
No catch. The catch is the price: at €39 we can't include hand-holding, 1-on-1 calls, or a fancy LMS. You get a focused module and a community channel. If you need enterprise training with custom labs and live sessions, buy the SANS course.
