Welcome to the Positive Hack 2025 Bootcamp repository! In this repository, I curate all you need to know about the comprehensive curriculum of the Positive Hack Bootcamp (White Hat Hacker Professional by CyberED), a walkthrough of all the labs, and my preparation notes and tips to pass the CEWH Certification with colors ^^.
The CEWH certification is the Russian Ethical Hacking entry-level certification that confirms knowledge of basic penetration testing, offensive security, and adherence to the White Hackers Code of Ethics. I will also include resources, useful materials, report templates, and more to get you started. Fork the repository (and add a star) if you find it useful!
