I like the practical labs. They are easy to follow, highly varied, and provide just enough guidance to set me on the right path while still allowing me to utilise my own reseach capabilities to complete them independently. The PWNbox is implemented effectively, and facilitates a no-hassle medium for completing the labs. I have used these labs frequently without issue. I have yet to encounter any problems or hindrances that required me to contact customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The modules in HTB academy are often information-heavy in one medium, and it is often long-form text. This can get tedious and difficult to absorb. Breaking this up with other mediums, such as more pictorial, video, puzzles, and short-form practical content, could help mitigate potential burnout. Additionally, it can be difficult to integrate HTB labs with real-life, ongoing work, as HTB labs exist as standalones. Being able to use our own tooling, or apply our own environmental adjustments, could be highly useful for making better use of HTB in the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how the content is presented to the user. The material is relevant but not identical to the training content, which forces you to truly learn the material rather than simply using the module as a step-by-step guide to complete the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much to dislike. The content is very challenging, and the time required for training is significant. This can be a limiting factor for those trying to complete it at home while managing family responsibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lots of courses, the courses are up to date, lots of practice, all info is in text, it's much easier and faster to read new material than to watch a video with it. The forum is great, there is a really good community which helps a lot with the practical part of the course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very expensive, I would not even try it if my company had not bought some period for me, and even for the company, it's very expensive so I can not use it often. The practical tasks sometimes are impossible to solve without community help, some tips from the forum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The infrastructure of VMs to attack is vast, sometimes spanning multiple VMs to simulate an enterprise network. The victim VMs typically , perhaps about 70% of the time, are pre-loaded with some tools for hacking to save time. Help can be received through the HTB discord and through the website chatbox with HTB employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some occasions where it focuses too much on the tools for hacking without delving into lots of detail on what vulnerabilities those tools are exploiting. However, it typically categorizes the vulnerability (such as file upload) and provides an external link to info about the vulnerability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although Hack The Box is outstanding, there are areas for improvement. The ease of implementation for absolute beginners could be enhanced with more step-by-step guides or tutorials, as the initial setup might feel overwhelming to those unfamiliar with VPNs or ethical hacking tools. Additionally, while the customer support is reliable, a live chat option would be a welcome addition for quicker resolution of issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hack The Box has been a game-changer for me as I started my journey in cybersecurity. I appreciate that the platform focuses on text-based content, documentation, and practical labs instead of video tutorials, which allows for a deeper and more active learning experience. The structured modules in Hack The Box Academy helped me build a solid foundation in cybersecurity and were instrumental in landing my first job as a trainee at one of the leading cybersecurity companies in Argentina. The practical nature of the labs, combined with the variety of challenges, ensures a hands-on approach that truly enhances learning.

Additionally, Hack The Box offers excellent community engagement opportunities through its content creation and meetup hosting programs. I have been part of their meetup hosting program for a year, which has allowed me to explore their enterprise platform and expand my reach by organizing events.

While I believe Hack The Box offers incredible value, the pricing can be a bit high for students in Latin America. However, I appreciate the fact that they provide discounts for students, even if they don't have an official .edu email, which makes the platform more accessible. I would love to see more regional pricing options or additional discounts for users from emerging markets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
