Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the platform for its high-quality content, challenging labs, and well-structured learning paths, making it an excellent resource for cybersecurity education at all levels. Many users highlight the positive impact on their skill development and career progression, appreciating the practical and engaging nature of the material. The customer service is frequently described as top-notch, with quick, helpful, and personalized support. However, some customers have noted occasional connection problems and performance issues with the platform, describing it as slow and having a messy interface. A few people also mentioned that the inflexibility of test answers can be frustrating, sometimes requiring very specific wording that leads to guesswork rather than genuine learning. Additionally, some reviewers were dissatisfied with the customer service not being available in multiple languages.

Hi there,

While we apologize for the inconvenience – based on our records your account was never cancelled and it seems you were not able to access your student account because you were logged in on the wrong profile. However, we have offered a prorated refund on your most recent billing cycle.

Hack The Box Support & Website Review

Been using Hack The Box for a while now and honestly, it’s solid. The platform runs smooth, no annoying bugs, and everything’s well organized. Whether you're into web, reversing, pwn, whatever—they got it all. Perfect for leveling up your skills if you're into pentesting or just wanna break stuff legally.

Now, about the support—shoutout to Michael, that guy actually helped me out fast and knew exactly what I was talking about, which is rare these days. Didn’t just copy-paste replies like most support teams, he actually cared.

Overall, 100% recommend HTB, especially if you're learning or prepping for certs. Worth it.

Exceptional Support & Top-Tier Penetration Testing Certification!

Hack The Box has done an outstanding job in delivering the CPTS exam experience! From the very start, their customer support was exceptional—responsive, friendly, and always ready to assist with any concerns before and during the exam. 💯

The support team’s professionalism and dedication made the process smooth, ensuring that I could focus entirely on the assessment. Their friendly approach and quick responses created a stress-free environment, which is crucial during such a demanding challenge.

Overall, Hack The Box continues to set the bar high in the penetration testing certification space, not only with their high-quality labs and real-world scenarios but also with their outstanding support and community-driven approach. Highly recommended for anyone looking to level up in offensive security! 🚀🔓

Guiding you from basics all the way up

They provide all the tools needed to learn.
They start from the very basics, which is crucial for an unexperienced person like me, giving you the feeling you learn and are capable of doing things (hands-on) from the very beginning, keeping you motivated.
From what I can understand the paths and boxes go all the way up, requiring deep knowledge to solve, which also gives me the motivation and vision to reach there.

Cybersecurity learning made proactive

Cybersecurity learning made proactive! With vast amount of available module and lessons and ability to practice on pwnbox, which expects you to think outside the box, this is an awesome academy for learning ethical hacking. And on top of that - the Lab! Awesome machines with different difficulty levels. And the HTB community is always here to help!

Good content, amazing support

First off, the content that HTB provide are great. I use both Academy and Labs regularly and they're great. There are plenty of challenges and machines to play with and the modules in Academy are really well drafted. Any cybersecurity enthusiast would enjoy the convenience of having materials and challenges easily accessible.

However the support is just on another level. I had a silly goofup where I clicked on the wrong subscription and it charged me $500. Not only did the tech support process my refund, they also did it in less than an hour. I was panicking so hard but I'm so glad that they managed to help me. 10/10
