UNPARALLED ACTION AND LEARNING - CYBERSEC DEGREE
Since joining HTB I have learned so much from the machines and the Academy towards my Cybersec degree. I have found each of the modules io have covered so far extremely in depth with live instances to test the proof of concepts covered in each module. HTB is a must for any budding cybersecurity enthusiast wanting to grow and learn more in their profession

Helpful & Informative for Beginners
I've been using HackTheBox for over a year now and I am very happy with it! Just purchased the VIP Subscription, this is one of the only purchases I was actually happy with. HackTheBox also helps you learn step by step with an easy to use UI. Pwnbox helps you learn hacking tools and using the terminal, very helpful for learning how to pwn machines. There is so much more I could say about why HackTheBox is a good idea for learning how to hack even if you don't know anything about it. Love it!

Amazing
I tried a lot of CTF platforms but HTB is one of the best platform I have ever tried. the machines are designed to make you search and learn new things that didn't know before. I have also tried their CTF platform and I really liked it because of its user friendly UI

HACKER
From IT Specialist to Cybersecurity Professional
For 15+ years I worked in IT, my job focused on troubleshooting. My interest was in Penetration Testing, so I played games (Threatgen: Red vs. Blue, Grey Hack, Nite Team 4 and World of Haiku) to scratch the itch. A Steam forum user had mentioned HackTheBox. First I dabbled with the Academy and then I tried the Lab, I was hooked. I signed up for a VIP+ account and trained every single day. Almost 5 months later and I accepted an offer of employment as a Cybersecurity Specialist. TY HackTheBox!

Most Valuable Resource
I had the benefit of a mentor during my years learning to be a software developer. Hack The Box is my mentor for cybersecurity. I'm exposed to core vulnerabilities and exploits I can use, to cement them into memory. But I'm also learning alongside many others, some offering guidance others encouragement. The whole process is sugar coated so the long hours go down sweetly. I love the platform and look forward to becoming a better member to the community.

Learn to hack from zero.
