What ASF 79 Apprends-moi ! does

ASF 79 Apprends-moi ! is a French non-profit association founded in 2013 and headquartered in Saint-Pierre-des-Échaubrognes, Nouvelle-Aquitaine. It operates the educational website apprends-moi.fr, which hosts interactive study materials for Master's-level university courses in cybersecurity (penetration testing with Kali Linux and Nmap) and digital telecommunications (line coding, modulations, channel coding, WiFi, and mobile networks). The content is specifically aligned with named curricula at Sorbonne Université, including the digital communications course MU4IN012 and the Mobile and Ambient Internet module. The platform serves a single, narrow customer segment: French Master's students enrolled in telecommunications, networking, and cybersecurity programs at a small set of French universities.

Core offering

ASF 79 Apprends-moi ! provides free, interactive online educational resources covering three Master's-level curricula: PENTEST (penetration testing with Kali Linux and Nmap reconnaissance), COMNUM (communications numériques / digital signal processing), and MOB (mobile and ambient internet / mobile networking). Offerings include downloadable reference cards (e.g., "Fiche 01 – Reconnaissance & Nmap", "Méga-Fiche Partiel – Internet Mobile et Ambiant"), interactive web-based simulators for technical concepts, and randomized practice exams (Examen Blanc). The site explicitly states all materials are free.

Product overview

ASF 79 Apprends-moi ! is a French educational platform providing interactive study materials for university-level courses. The platform offers two main curricula: PENTEST (penetration testing with Kali Linux and Nmap tools) and MASTER1 level courses covering COMNUM communications numériques (digital communications including line coding, channel transmission, and modulations) and MOB Internet Mobile et Ambiant (mobile and ambient internet covering WiFi, cellular networks, mesh, and security). Each course includes interactive web-based simulators for hands-on learning of complex technical concepts such as CDMA encoding, CSMA/CA backoff, mesh routing (HWMP), link budget calculations, RSA cryptography, constellation mapping, and raised cosine filtering. The platform features exam preparation materials including mega-sheets with mathematical trainers and randomized practice exams.

Broad incumbents

• edX: University-affiliated MOOC platform offering courses from global institutions including engineering and computer science programs. Comparable in university-aligned, course-material-based delivery model.
• Khan Academy: Large-scale free educational content platform with broad subject coverage. Comparable in free, content-driven delivery model and interactive exercises, though far broader in scope and not specialized in telecom/cybersecurity.
• Coursera: Major online learning platform partnering with universities (including French institutions) to deliver courses and specializations. Comparable in university-aligned curriculum delivery and exam-prep adjacent features.

Direct peers

• TryHackMe: Cybersecurity education platform with interactive, browser-based learning rooms covering penetration testing, Nmap, and related offensive/defensive security skills. Closely comparable in PENTEST curriculum area and interactive learning format.
• Hack The Box: Cybersecurity training platform offering hands-on labs, CTF-style challenges, and learning paths in penetration testing and offensive security. Comparable in PENTEST training focus and interactive, browser-based learning approach.
• Cybrary: Cybersecurity and IT skills training platform with free and paid tiers covering penetration testing, network security, and certification prep. Comparable in cybersecurity curriculum focus and free-tier content model.
• OpenClassrooms: France-based online education platform offering diploma and certification programs including tech and cybersecurity tracks. Most directly comparable peer due to French market focus, online delivery model, and inclusion of technical/engineering curricula.
