What is Hack The Box Meetup Event?
A Hack The Box (HTB) Meetup is a community-driven, hands-on cybersecurity event. Organized locally by individuals, universities, or companies globally, these meetups allow offensive and defensive security enthusiasts to connect, collaborate, learn new hacking skills, and network.
Meetups generally last around 3 to 5 hours and can be held on-site or virtually.
