Show HN: Phended – Cybersecurity Education for Non-Tech Folks

by fathermarz on 4/22/25, 5:37 AM with 0 comments

Hey HN,

I’ve been working on Phended, a cybersecurity education site focused on making defensive knowledge approachable—especially for small businesses and non-technical users who don’t have time to dig through jargon-filled resources.

Right now, it’s a mix of free tools, guides, and checklists, with a chatbot assistant named Dave who helps answer questions. I’m gearing up for a full refresh as I build out more content and structure things better, so it’s still early days—but I’d love to get feedback before I go too deep into the overhaul.

Some stuff I’m planning

- More actionable guides and incident playbooks - An LMS for structured learning - A self-serve phishing simulation tool (potentially) - Better UX all around

The current roadmap is public, and I’d love any thoughts, critique, or encouragement. Thanks!
