What it is
Topics and interactive labs that walk through web application weaknesses on systems PortSwigger hosts. It is training in the browser, not the Burp Suite proxy.
What it helps with
Learning a class of web issue on a lab PortSwigger runs. The training page describes over 190 interactive labs.
Who it's for
People studying web application security who want a legal practice environment. Some labs expect a testing tool, and Burp Suite Community Edition is enough when Professional is not available.
Worth knowing
Use the labs for that coursework. Do not aim them at systems you are not allowed to test.
There is no public GitHub repository for the Academy.
Is the Academy the same product as Burp Suite?
No. Burp Suite is the testing toolkit. The Academy is the training site.
Can you take the labs offline?
No. PortSwigger describes them as online training you use in a browser.
