Live Hacking Show

See how attackers
really operate.

Your employees watch live as passwords fall, networks are compromised and identities are faked. More awareness in 60 minutes than in a year of e-learning.

Why traditional security training is not enough

Compliance training and e-learning cost time - but bring no lasting behavioural change. The numbers speak for themselves.

90% forgotten after 48 h

Ebbinghaus' forgetting curve is relentless: after two days more than 90% of training content is no longer accessible. Only what creates an emotional impression stays in the mind.

33% click on phishing

Despite annual mandatory training, one third of employees click on simulated phishing emails. Knowledge alone does not change behaviour - experience does.

USD 5.31 M per incident

The average cost of a data breach (IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024). One hour of live hacking is the most cost-effective insurance available.

The Solution

Experience rather than learn - awareness that lasts

In a Live Hacking Show our experts demonstrate current attack techniques in real time - comprehensibly for any audience. Participants see with their own eyes how quickly a password falls, a network is compromised or an identity is forged.

Emotional impact

When your own password falls in 3 seconds, everyone immediately understands why a password manager is indispensable. This experience lasts - permanently.

Vendor-independent

No product advertising, no sales presentation - pure knowledge transfer and awareness raising. We are independent and neutral.

Always current

Our attack scenarios are continuously updated to reflect the current threat landscape - including AI-based deepfake attacks and voice cloning.

For every audience

From senior management to working students - we adapt language and technical depth to your audience. No prior knowledge required.

Attack Scenarios

Choose your topics - we deliver the show

From over 10 attack scenarios we compile your individual programme. Here is a selection of our most impactful demonstrations:

Phishing & Social Engineering

Live demonstration of realistic phishing attacks - from the forged email to credential disclosure in seconds.

Spear-Phishing Credential Harvesting

Wi-Fi Hacking

We show how attackers compromise open and supposedly secured networks - in the office, hotel or home office.

Evil Twin MITM

Password Cracking

Live demonstration of how quickly supposedly secure passwords are cracked - and why password managers are indispensable.

Hashcat Rainbow Tables

Ransomware & Malware

From clicking the attachment to encrypting all data - the complete sequence of a ransomware attack in real time.

Malware Demo Ransomware

USB & Physical Attacks

How one USB drive suffices to take full control of a computer - within three seconds.

Rubber Ducky BadUSB

Deepfakes & AI Attacks

Cloned voices, manipulated video conferences - we demonstrate how AI-powered attacks work today.

Voice Cloning Deepfake Video

Live Hacking vs. E-Learning vs. Phishing Simulation

Three awareness measures - each has its place. The strongest impact? The combination.

E-Learning Phishing Simulation Live Hacking
Impact Short-term Measurable Emotionally lasting
Engagement Mandatory tick-box Unconscious Enthusiasm
Audience Individual Whole organisation All - incl. management
Internal effort High (rollout) Medium (setup) Minimal (room + projector)
Behaviour change Low Targeted Deep and lasting
Best used as Baseline compliance Measurement tool Kick-off & highlight

Maximum impact? Live Hacking + Phishing Simulation as a before-and-after comparison.

Three formats - right for every occasion

Whether a 30-minute keynote or a full-day programme - we adapt the show to your setting.

Why AWARE7 for Security Awareness

Was uns von anderen Anbietern unterscheidet

Reine Awareness-Plattformen testen keine Systeme. Reine Beratungskonzerne sind zu weit weg. AWARE7 verbindet beides: Wir hacken Ihre Infrastruktur und schulen Ihre Mitarbeiter — mittelstandsgerecht, persönlich, ohne Enterprise-Overhead.

Forschung und Lehre als Fundament

Rund 20% unseres Umsatzes stammen aus Forschungsprojekten für BSI und BMBF. Unsere Studien analysieren Millionen von Websites und Zehntausende Phishing-E-Mails — publiziert auf ACM- und Springer-Konferenzen. Zwei unserer Führungskräfte sind gleichzeitig Professoren an deutschen Hochschulen.

Digitale Souveränität - keine Kompromisse

Alle Daten werden ausschließlich in Deutschland gespeichert und verarbeitet - ohne US-Cloud-Anbieter. Keine Freelancer, keine Subunternehmer in der Wertschöpfung. Alle Mitarbeiter sind sozialversicherungspflichtig angestellt und einheitlich rechtlich verpflichtet. Auf Anfrage VS-NfD-konform.

Festpreis in 24h - planbare Projektzeiträume

Innerhalb von 24 Stunden erhalten Sie ein verbindliches Festpreisangebot - kein Stundensatz-Risiko, keine Nachforderungen, keine Überraschungen. Durch eingespieltes Team und standardisierte Prozesse erhalten Sie einen klaren Zeitplan mit definiertem Starttermin und Endtermin.

Ihr fester Ansprechpartner - jederzeit erreichbar

Ein persönlicher Projektleiter begleitet Sie vom Erstgespräch bis zum Re-Test. Sie buchen Termine direkt bei Ihrem Ansprechpartner - keine Ticket-Systeme, kein Callcenter, kein Wechsel zwischen wechselnden Beratern. Kontinuität schafft Vertrauen.

Für wen sind wir der richtige Partner?

Mittelstand mit 50–2.000 MA

Unternehmen, die echte Security brauchen — ohne einen DAX-Konzern-Dienstleister zu bezahlen. Festpreis, klarer Scope, ein Ansprechpartner.

IT-Verantwortliche & CISOs

Die intern überzeugend argumentieren müssen — und dafür einen Bericht mit Vorstandssprache brauchen, nicht nur technische Findings.

Regulierte Branchen

KRITIS, Gesundheitswesen, Finanzdienstleister: NIS-2, ISO 27001, DORA — wir kennen die Anforderungen und liefern Nachweise, die Auditoren akzeptieren.
