InfoSec Black Friday Deals ~ "Friday Hack Fest" 2023 Edition

All the deals for InfoSec related software/tools this Black Friday / Cyber Monday.

I was a little late getting started with my wife pushing out a little 0-day baby as of today. Thank you CriimBow for kicking things off in the meantime!

Just 2023 things

Quality over quantity - this list goes through a level of vetting for dodginess, gated-deals, deals that aren't infosec related and either can't be verified or break promises (e.g. states % off all courses, but has exclusions). There are also some vendors being stood up (literally) with courses and training 'just' for black friday; at your service here to weed out the genuine from the fake.

This list is for you if you are in: all teh cyberz, penetration tester, blue team, red team, purple team, secure code, exploit research and development, vulnerability management, threat hunting, incident response, forensics, intelligence, threat intelligence, open-source intelligence, governance/risk/compliance, security architect, network security, CSO/CISO, AppSec, DevSecOps, consulting, security awareness, and -insert your role here-

The below deals have either publicly announced they'll be doing a deal or highly expected.

  • All USD
  • All End times in UTC
  • DYOR and AYOR: I try my best to vet all links for legitimacy, but there's always a chance something slips through
  • Some vendors use my handle for tracking this list - there are NO referral/affiliate/commission links here

FAQ

When will most of the deals/discounts be recorded here?

Most likely 24th midday, but some start on Monday, so check back often!

When do these sales start?

Most start around the 20th November

When do these sales end?

Most end 30th November

Can I add deals to the page?

Yes, please follow formatting guidelines, provide a source and code. Has to be infosec related, no affiliate links, deal has to be active or a waitlist.

🙈 means 1) Limited to first x users 2) Great deal or 3) Highly recommended by moi

*Disclaimer: I have included my own, and other discount codes sent in directly by DM/Pigeon/Smoke signals.
