What we’re about
Join a dynamically growing hacking community and take your cybersecurity skills to the next level through the most captivating, gamified, hands-on training experience!
Hack The Box (HTB) is an online penetration testing platform where you can legally hack vulnerable machines! It is an impressive playground designed for you to learn and improve your pentesting skills.
Hack The Box machines intend to mimic real-world corporate environments and teach us techniques applicable to real-life engagements.
A new machine, as well as standalone challenges, is released on a weekly basis.
If you're interested in cybersecurity and penetration testing, you should join this group. The purpose of the meetup is to meet other Hack The Box enthusiasts from all levels to discuss and exchange tips and tricks on how to hack the HTB machines made available for our gatherings and also learn how to defend against these attacks!
Now is the perfect time to join our meetups, with the introduction of the new SOC Analyst pathway and the Certified Defensive Security Analyst (CDSA) certification under the HTB Academy platform. You can be confident that it will equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in cybersecurity.
We are currently hosting our events online, and depending on interest we might start in person event in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Anybody with a valid HTB account (free) can register and participate.
We look forward to meeting you!
