Vulhub is an open‑source collection of pre‑built vulnerable Docker environments that can be launched with a single Docker Compose command. It is designed for security research, education, and demonstration of real‑world vulnerabilities.

Use cases

  • run a vulnerable web application to practice exploitation
  • learn how specific CVEs are triggered in a controlled setup
  • demonstrate security flaws in a classroom or workshop
  • test intrusion detection rules against real vulnerabilities
  • benchmark security tools against known vulnerable services

When to choose

  • you need ready‑made vulnerable containers without building them yourself
  • you want a quick, isolated environment for security training or research
  • you prefer Docker‑Compose based deployment across Linux, macOS, or Windows

When to avoid

  • you require production‑grade services or performance testing
  • you need support for ARM architectures out of the box
  • you are looking for a non‑container based vulnerability lab
