The questions you're probably
asking yourself
Can I really do this with zero experience?
Yes — and the numbers back it up. 58% of Cyber Range graduates land cybersecurity roles directly. The other 42% start in adjacent IT roles that lead straight into security. You get hands-on labs, resume and interview prep, and support the whole way.

→ See real success storiesWill I actually know what to do — or just get handed a pile of videos?
No pile of videos. You follow a clear, structured roadmap — you always know exactly what to learn, in what order, and why. Instead of guessing, you build skills on a real network that reflect what the job actually requires.
→ See real success storiesWill this still matter in five years?
Security only grows as AI and automation expand — someone still has to investigate incidents and defend systems. The Cyber Range gives you hands-on, job-ready skills, not theory that expires. That's what keeps you valuable as the field changes.

A Word From Josh
“For 15 years, I was obsessed with one thing: skill stacking. I got really good at understanding what employers want. This course is everything I learned, condensed into a direct path, so you don't have to spend 15 years figuring it out yourself.”
His Journey & Expertise
Josh Madakor started his IT career in 2007 as a help desk technician and has since developed expertise in software development, system engineering, and cybersecurity. He has worked across multiple industries including government, finance, defense, and private sector — notably as a Microsoft contractor, where he contributed to the Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark.
Since 2020, Josh has grown his YouTube channel to over 200,000 subscribers, helping individuals advance their IT and cybersecurity careers through educational content.
This is a community, not a course you watch alone.
Post your progress and Josh himself often jumps in to reply. Every week, he runs live coaching where you can ask him anything and get direct feedback — not a ticket queue, but a real conversation.
The environment is just as real. Our production SOC runs in Microsoft Azure alongside hundreds of other members — and gets breached by real attackers, by design. When it happens, you go in and threat-hunt it like an analyst would on the job.

If you initially subscribe to the monthly plan, you can later switch to the annual plan. In that case, you will automatically be refunded for one month (this is a feature of the Skool platform).
What am I paying for? Isn't all information free?
All information is free, and it’s important to acknowledge that. However, when you join, here’s what you’re actually paying for:
- Access to a Cyber Range Environment that simulates a real work network, shared with other active users. The activity of these participants generates network traffic and logs that you can analyze.
- Access to enterprise-grade, licensed security tools, including Tenable Vulnerability Management, Microsoft Azure Compute, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and an EDR solution.
- Membership in a professional cybersecurity community with over 1,000 members.
- Access to a range of individual courses (cybersecurity theory, vulnerability management, security operations, threat hunting, and more) that I have carefully organized and built over time.
- The rights to list my company on your resume for experience if you choose to participate in the internship program.
Can I really get a job with this?
Yes, you can. This community is specifically designed to address the main challenges people face when trying to secure a job, such as gaining hands-on experience in a real-world environment and acquiring verifiable experience that can be added to your resume under a company name. This community builds upon a previous course and internship program that has already helped several individuals land jobs.
You can see a list of past interns who have moved on to IT and cybersecurity-related positions here. Every person on this list had Log(N) Pacific (my company) listed as prior experience before securing employment: https://lognpacific.com/past-interns-who-have-gotten-jobs/
What technology will I be working with?
You will be working with the following:
- Cloud Platforms: Microsoft Azure, where you will manage virtual machines, network configurations, and cloud-based resources.
- Vulnerability Management: Access to enterprise-level tools such as Tenable – Vulnerability Management for scanning, assessing, and managing vulnerabilities in both Windows and Linux environments.
- Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, which you will use for onboarding, isolating, and investigating virtual machines, as well as detecting remote code execution.
- SIEM and Logging Tools: Microsoft Sentinel for creating and visualizing SIEM dashboards, monitoring network activity, and managing logs to identify potential security incidents.
- Threat Hunting and Security Operations: You’ll engage in threat hunting using scenarios that mimic real-world challenges, such as identifying network slowdowns, detecting data exfiltration, and responding to zero-day threats.
- Compliance and Auditing: Tools and processes for running compliance audits (e.g., CIS and DISA STIG) and applying security guidelines using PowerShell scripts.
- Programming and Automation: GitHub for building your portfolio and working on vulnerability management and security operations projects, showcasing your hands-on skills.
- Monitoring and Forensics: Utilizing Azure Activity Logs, NSG logs, and KQL (Kusto Query Language) to analyze audit logs, network security group logs, and – Microsoft Defender for Endpoint logs.

This blend of technologies ensures you build a robust set of skills in cybersecurity, including proactive threat response, vulnerability management, and security operations.
Is the internship experienced recognized?
Yes, the experience is recognized. On average, I provide about one reference per week for companies looking to hire interns. You can view a list of past interns who have successfully transitioned into IT and cybersecurity roles here. Every individual on this list included Log(N) Pacific (my company) as prior experience before securing their positions: [https://lognpacific.com/past-interns-who-have-gotten-jobs/]
Why are you charging for an internship?
I’m not—the internship is simply an optional component within the community. It initially developed as a response to the high volume of questions and engagement from students. Since then, I’ve enhanced the internship experience by incorporating additional ways for members to contribute and gain experience.
What will I be doing during the internship?
During the internship, you’ll have the option to engage in various activities, including:
- Designing, testing, and publishing Threat Hunting Scenarios for use by other community members.
- Creating, testing, and publishing Vulnerability Remediations and STIG (Security Technical Implementation Guide) Implementations, which are standardized configurations used to enhance the security of systems.
- Providing general support within the Skool Cyber Range Community.
- Offering assistance in the Cyber Range Alumni Discord.
Your role and title will evolve based on your level of contribution, ranging from Cybersecurity Support Technician to Engineering.
Can someone completely new do well in the community?
Yes, absolutely. There is an entire section dedicated to providing resources and advice to help you build a strong foundation in cybersecurity. While the learning curve for someone completely new can be steep, it’s definitely manageable. Additionally, if you’re just starting out in the field, it’s highly encouraged to apply for both general IT positions and cybersecurity roles to increase your experience and opportunities.
What if I bought your previous course? Can I get a discount?
All original course members were notified via email at the launch of the program and given the opportunity to join at a discounted rate. Once you join at this price, your rate will be locked in. Additionally, all original course members were granted access to the Cyber Range Alumni Discord, regardless of whether they choose to join the new community.
How is the new Cyber Range Community different from the previous Course?
The new Cyber Range is a hands-on, community-driven environment built for real-world IT and cybersecurity training. Unlike the old self-paced video course, this upgraded platform lets students work together in the same network using real enterprise tools like Tenable for vulnerability management and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for threat hunting on Azure. It offers guided labs, mentorship, resume and career support, plus internship tasks in vulnerability management and threat hunting that you can complete on your own to earn credit. With structure, accountability, and access to industry tools, the Cyber Range Community is designed to give you practical skills, confidence, and the support you need to get hired.
