Hack The Box is an online platform allowing you to test your penetration testing skills and exchange ideas and methodologies with other members of similar interests. It contains several challenges that are constantly updated. Some of them simulating real world scenarios and some of them leaning more towards a CTF style of challenge.
As an individual, you can complete a simple challenge to prove your skills and then create an account, allowing you to connect to our private network (HTB Labs) where several machines await for you to hack them. By hacking machines you get points that help you advance in the Hall of Fame.
Go ahead and try to hack the invite code in order to become a member!
0x01 How do I join Hack The Box?
In order to join you should solve an entry-level challenge that is presented here. If you are unable to "hack the invite process" you probably won't be able to do much after joining either.
0x03 I am a company, interested in private labs for my staff.
If you are interested in private labs or other custom solutions please contact us and we can arrange accordingly.
0x02 I have little to zero knowledge about information security but I do well with computers...where should I start?
You should try reading about operating systems, networks, frameworks and tools (nmap, gdb, metasploit) and security in general, HTB Forums has some tutorials and write-ups, then you can try playing our entry level machines here on Hack The Box!
0x04 What happens after I join Hack The Box?
After becoming a member you are presented with a private network (HTB Net) that contains several vulnerable systems. Your goal is to hack each one and after doing so, you are awarded with points that advance you to the hall of fame.

I enjoy this website greatly. Not only has it helped to learn but it continues to on a growing basis. Recently I have been busy so I haven't been able to try. However, I do see how this can benefit me every time I use it.
My #1 resource for learning and development. Wouldn't be without it!
Our services can help you recruit talent, train your staff, gain exposure or a mix of all three.
Hack The Box gives the ability to recruiters and companies in need of security professionals to find talent through our platform. This can be done by directly reaching out to members that have opted-in to "Looking for career opportunities" or by posting job offers for all members to view and apply.
Private Labs are completely isolated labs hosted under our platform accessible only from the members assigned to them. Private labs have their own user management and their own Hall of Fame along with all the gamification elements Hack The Box provides in order to make the experience more pleasant and competitive.
Hack The Box supports companies in the security industry by promoting their brand or content. This is done in the form of sponsorships for our free/community labs, ad placements in our forums and product-specific challenges.
Machines (or systems) range in difficulty and methods of exploitation. Our goal is to add at least two new machines per month.
0 machines will be released soon.
