Olympics For Hackers: Hack The Box

• Are you new to cybersecurity or an experienced security professional focused on continually testing your skills and knowledge?
• Hobbyist with an addicted, competitive personality who gets a thrill out of solving problems?
• Individual contributor looking to be part of a bigger cyber community?
• Quarantined at home -- doing your part but starting to go a bit stir crazy between juggling virtual meetings, home schooling and entertaining kids?

Hack the Box could be the answer.

What is Hack the Box?

Hack the Box (HTB) is like a continuous Olympics for hackers. It’s Cyber Practice Gamified.

Hosted at https://www.hackthebox.eu/, it provides individuals and teams a way to prove they know what they are doing like nothing else in the cyber world. It’s an online platform which allows you to assess penetration testing skills, and exchange ideas and methodologies with thousands of others in the security field. This continuous ‘Olympics’ for hackers provides a competitive forum to demonstrate knowledge like nothing else in the cyber world.

At any given time, there are 20 active systems that competitors must conquer to achieve and maintain their ranking. Hacking knowledge is a highly perishable skill and those that rest on their laurels are unlikely to participate.
