Hackiwi
Netherlands
What it is
Hackiwi is a security platform for organisations, combining staff training, phishing simulations, suspicious-message reporting, and exposure monitoring. Its lessons use video and written material with knowledge checks; teams can assign learning paths and follow completion. The training library is open to browse without an account and its content is licensed under CC-BY-4.0. Organisations with up to 20 users can use the full platform free. Simulation campaigns track opens, clicks, and reports, and require verified domains; safety gates and audit logs are included. Hackiwi says submitted credentials are not retained, though the simulation event is recorded. Staff can forward suspicious messages from desktop or phone mail clients for automated classification and reputation checks. Exposure tools cover scope-locked OSINT, website scanning, dependency CVE tracking, domain monitoring, and alerts for newly registered lookalike domains. The service is available on the web or self-hosted under AGPL-3.0. Phishing simulation is limited to verified organisations, and larger organisations pay for premium tooling.
For and against
For
- Free full platform for organisations up to 20 users
- Library is browseable without an account
- Training supports assigned paths and completion tracking
- Exposure alerts cover newly registered lookalike domains
- Can be run on an organisation’s own infrastructure
Against

- Organisations over 20 users pay for premium tooling
The verdict
Hackiwi brings training, phishing simulation, report triage, and exposure tools into one platform. Its free access is broad for small organisations, but simulation requires organisational and domain verification.
Who it suits
Hackiwi suits organisations that want staff security training, simulation, message triage, or exposure monitoring. Individuals and families can browse its library, but cannot use the phishing simulator.
