1 min read
Summary
Douglas Costa’s blog post promotes Hack The Box (HTB) labs as a way to develop penetration testing skills through hands-on practice and learning-by-doing.
HTB offers a platform for cybersecurity and ethical hacking training through real-world labs and challenges.
Costa explains that the cost of an HTB subscription may be prohibitive for some, but he argues that it is worth the investment as it provides skills and knowledge that are useful in the long run.
Costa explains that he chose to invest in HTB Pro Lab Zephyr to prepare for an OffSec exam as it was a more cost-effective option than retaking the exam.
He describes HTB’s Zephyr lab as a challenging environment that trains people to think critically and master system internals, requiring thorough research, patience, and attention to detail.
He advises users to make use of HTB’s Discord community and to map system behaviour under the hood to solve problems more efficiently.
The post concludes that the investment in HTB Pro Lab Zephyr was worthwhile since it paid off in terms of knowledge and increased confidence many times over.
