I've played hackthebox intensely for one month. A lot of fun, but it takes a lot of time to crack your first insane box. If people want university level courses in this, I recommend them to study at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and take courses with the VUSEC group. The VUSEC group gave me the skills to immediately attempt an insane box and hack it (it did take a good 80 hours though :P).
Also, if there's any pentesting/reverse engineering company reading this I'm interested in doing an attacking related position. My skills are a bit rusty as a hacker (currently working as a software engineer), but then again I did hack an insane box while having rusty skills. So it might be worth something?
My email is in my profile.
- mpeg 4y agoThe insane challenges can be even harder than boxes imho. When I first discovered htb I too had a couple months of hardcore grinding to become omniscient, then it became a bit too time consuming to keep doing them once I got in the top 10 I would definitely recommend if you’re gonna keep doing them to make a couple friends who are at the same level, it’s much more fun / less grind to tackle them in groups
- moritonal 4y agoYour advice about VUSEC is very cool. Slight piece of personal advice, when openly trying to get people to reach out to you by email, following that up with a comment in your profile saying you might not respond because of spam makes the reader ask why you haven't solved that issue yet.
- mettamage 4y agoAh, I should update my profile description. Thanks :)
- lasr_velocirptr 4y agoDo they offer online course or is it something that’s in-person only?
