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

UNPARALLED ACTION AND LEARNING - CYBERSEC DEGREEHacker

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!
