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!
It's a really great source of "training", as you get hands-on experience with various types of attacks. The platform is fast and beautiful. Usually, CTF sites are a bit messy, but not this one, it's very neat. I'm a member and recommend it for training and fun, it's a really great pastime. The platform is free to use (I'm currently here, maybe will upgrade in the near future), but you can pay an annual payment to have some additional perks (faster connection to the CTF VPN, access to retired machines etc).
