Welcome to our community!
Hack The Box is an online platform that allows users to test, train and enhance their penetration testing skills and exchange ideas and methodologies with other members of similar interests.
We offer a wide variety of services tailored for everyone, from the most novice beginners to the most experienced penetration testers. Whether it be from the hundreds of Machines and Challenges we offer on HTB Labs or the Learning Modules we offer on HTB Academy, our content is the highest quality the industry has to offer.
