Hi all.

There seems to be a @sonic trout (<- this is the real one 😛 ) bot impersonator scammer going around DMing our users. The FAKE/SCAM bot has an ID of "1002619619498020964".

On this server we have two bots. They have an ID of: "759047829292843069" for @sonic trout & "923785460826898472" for @visual pebble.

The images below show what the fake bot scam looks like and how to check the ID of Discord accounts (right click on the bot and click "Copy ID") to better protect yourself from scams. Please report the fake account/scam messages to Discord and notify a staff member if you receive them.

Any issues, questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to a HTB Discord staff member.

Stay safe and happy hacking!

(** 👇 THE SCAM MESSAGE 👇 IS DIRECTLY BELOW **)

Hey all 👋 As you may have noticed someone leaked that with HackTheBoo discount code you get 100% off the old platform on VIP+. However, as our official coms stated, it is only 25% off and the discount will be issued on the checkout of your purchase.

Everyone who used the code thinking they have 100% off you will be asked in a few days if you want to be charged for the rest of the subscription (with 25% off of course) or you want to cancel your subscription.

Hope this message helps! @here

Hey all,

Starting tomorrow, FullHouse, our AI bypassing and exploitation scenario, will be moved from the Endgames to our new Mini Pro Labs category.

Due to this transition, FullHouse will be unavailable for play today.

What is a Mini Pro Lab?
Mini Pro Labs are a new section of our Pro Labs content, offering advanced and realistic scenarios with shorter engagements compared to regular Pro Labs. Completing a Mini Pro Lab also entitles you to a certificate worth up to 10 CPE credits.

What does this mean for you?
FullHouse will now be accessible to free users with a Hacker+ rank or an active Pro Labs subscription.

In the coming months, other Endgames will undergo similar transitions, and we will keep you updated on any changes to current subscriptions.

Curious about FullHouse? Learn more about it https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/fullhouse-ai-lab

Hello <@&531205748592607232> <@&548239933454680096> 👋,

It has come to our attention that a phishing campaign targeting Machine / Challenge creators from the community is being launched from the domain hackthebox.cloud using the email address release@hackthebox.cloud. These emails are being sent through maileroo.net to community members who have submitted content to Hack The Box with the apparent intent to find out how the content can be pwned prior to it being released. The emails contain a link to a Google Form containing standardized questions about the content submission. The attacker seems to be after walkthroughs in order to benefit their own rank on the platform.

We wanted you to be aware of this, and that we do not control the hackthebox.cloud domain. We will only email you from the hackthebox.eu and hackthebox.com domains. We have additionally taken steps recently to purchase a number of look-alike domains in order to ensure the security of our userbase. We will also dispute ownership of this particular domain and attempt to gain control over it, in order to put an end to this campaign.

Thank you for your contributions and for being part of our community!

The Active Directory Penetration Tester Job Role Path has just been added y’all!

For those who are looking to get way more familiar with Active Directory, we got you covered. We go way more in-depth on each topic and even cover the latest attack paths like SCCM and newer C2 frameworks, with a focus on Sliver C2.

Here’s what you’ll dive into:
💥 Kerberos attacks
💥 NTLM relay attacks
💥 Abusing AD services like ADCS, Exchange, WSUS, MSSQL, and SCCM
💥 Exploiting AD misconfigurations (DACLs, Domain Trusts)
💥 Evasion tactics in Windows
💥 Sliver C2 for post-exploitation

And the best part? Each student gets their own dedicated AD network—no shared instances here. You’ll get hands-on experience in real-world scenarios, navigating and attacking Windows networks, finding hidden attack paths, and chaining vulnerabilities for maximum impact. By the end, you'll be equipped to conduct professional AD security assessments and report the vulnerabilities you uncover.

Let’s break some AD!

EvilCUPS is all about the recent CUPS exploits that have made a lot of news in September 2024. I’ll abuse the four recent CVEs to get remote code execution on a Linux box through cupsd.

Greetings

We've made some Quality of Life changes to embeds and video functionality in the voice channels.

Voice Channels

• Anyone who has obtained Hacker+ or Silver+ for the season will now have video sharing capabilities in any of the voice channels.
• CBBH, CPTS, CWEE, and CDSA all have video sharing perms
• We've removed APT and Based APT roles
• Added Revoked-APT role. You will only receive this if you are abusing video and this will make it so you no longer can share

Embeds

• CDSA role now should have embeds
• CWEE role now should have embeds
• CBBH role now should have embeds
• CPTS role now should have embeds

Silver+ and Hacker+ still have embeds

We will be monitoring the voice channels or watching for reports of anyone abusing the new permissions and adjust accordingly if needed

Thanks

Hey hey! We have another update for y'all ✌️

Let's say you need help understanding a Sherlock (and need help knowing where to seek help). Or maybe you are digging into a blue team module in Academy, and you'd like to test your skills on the most suitable Sherlock—wouldn't it be nice to find the best possible match for both situations?

Our new Sherlock listing in Academy x HTB Labs menu will now help you to find the exact modules in Academy to pair with your Sherlock learning experience and visa-versa.

Whether learning the skills you need to overcome a Sherlock you're stuck on or finding the right scenario to test skills you've just learned in Academy—Sherlock Mapping will be a guiding light.

Give it a try, and start solving more incidents!

From October 31st to November 4th, a new Sherlock challenge from this five-part series will be released each day, putting your investigative skills to the test.
We’re counting on you to rally your local community and dive into this investigation together!

Why join?
Experience a story-driven, real-life investigative scenario where participants will learn to investigate database anomalies, firmware forensics, Windows downgrade attacks, and more.
Network with fellow security enthusiasts and celebrate the festival of lights.

Win prizes! We’ll be giving away five VIP+ annual subscriptions to participants who share at least one solved Sherlock case from the operation on X (formerly Twitter) and tag @hackthebox until 10th of November!

Thank you for your support!

We've been working hard this year and are thrilled to introduce HTB Account—a unified single account management solution that simplifies your Hack The Box experience.

With HTB Account, you can seamlessly access HTB Labs, Academy, CTF, and Enterprise using just one set of login credentials. No more juggling multiple accounts!

Starting November 12, 2024, all HTB platforms will fully transition to HTB Account as the sole login option. If you haven’t linked your accounts by then, don’t worry—we’ll automatically create an HTB Account for you and unify your credentials across platforms (if they match).

Important: If you use different credentials for different platforms (e.g., HTB Enterprise and HTB Labs), link your accounts before Nov 12th to avoid duplicate logins!

It has come to our attention that some codes from the recent season were leaked and used en masse.

Everyone using these codes has had their subscription terminated and the amount paid refunded.

We will ensure this doesn't happen again during our next season. For anyone who has yet to redeem their legitimately acquired code, we will contact you over the coming days with a replacement.

The only source for HTB Gift Cards, Codes, etc, is directly from HTB itself.

We are sorry for any trouble.

The HTB Certified Active Directory Pentesting Expert (CAPE) is a cert for those compelled to take on enterprise networks—Seriously, 90% of fortune 1000 companies use AD. If you want to master attack paths, spot misconfigurations, and toolkit something universally adopted—it's Active Directory.
But, you probably know this already!
Here's something you might not know:
For a limited time, the Gold Annual Plan is 25% OFF—this gets you access to the full job-role path, the exam voucher, and more. Offer ends January 2, 2025.
This track and certification will prove you're up-to-date on:

DACL and Permission Abuse
Active Directory Certificate Services (ADCS) Attacks
Lateral Movement, Trust Exploitation, and Command & Control Operations
Advanced Windows Evasion and Post-Exploitation Tactics
Exploiting Common AD Technologies (MSSQL, Exchange, SCCM, WSUS)
You know the path forward from here. Complete the Active Directory Penetration Tester path, get the voucher (again, don't miss the discount), and prove you can deliver solid work with a gleaming report.
It won't be easy, but y'all have proven a challenge is something you readily accept.

Hey, going around spreading the word
@river sphinx
is booting up our Twitch Streams again! The ITaV (It Takes a Village) stream will include one helpless newb (him) and one professional (always selected from hacking/streaming community) who will walkthrough content together. We encourage you to boot up and do the walkthrough with us. lightsaberpepe
Why would a beginner care? Trust me, he will be asking a ton of foolish questions for you. He'll take the hits, you learn the bits--plain and simple.
Why would a pro care? Our guest will cover the high-level concepts at the end, and he'll make sure to pick the perfect person for each piece of content we tackle.
Win/Win.
This time around we are lucky to have Garr! A pentester for Walmart who will be breaking down the Tinsel Trace Sherlock "Neural Noel."
He's been big into AI pentesting lately, so this would be a great one to start on!
This will be an on-going stream that we want to build with y'all. We're going live soon!

We were a bit hyped about his one. Google X HTB collaborated on the AI Red Teamer Job Role Path!

AI gets shoveled around a lot nowadays, but it’s still a wild technology to crack. It has been widely adopted into platforms looking to get an edge in the market. But how well are they implementing their AI into their ecosystem? How could this become an issue?

Great question for those looking for an edge on their next assessment, I’d say.

No pressure to check this out, but we think it is a great time investment for:

Penetration Testers and Red Teamers curious about pivoting into AI assessments

AI Engineers interested in protecting models by exposing their flaws

Developers securing AI-driven applications from vulnerabilities

This path is a great place to start with the fundamentals and is aligned with the Google Secure AI Framework (SAIF). Plus, two of the modules are Tier 0—making it easier to jump right into the content!

HACK THE SPHERE: THE EVOLUTION IS HERE!

Goodbye boxes, hello SPHERES! After years of cornered thinking, we've revolutionized our platform with pure, uninterrupted curvature.

The Future Isn’t Square.
It’s a Perfect, Seamless Orb.

After years of cornered innovation, we’re proud to unveil a revolutionary change to our core architecture:

WHAT'S NEW:

Zero Edges, Infinite Possibilities - Every direction is forward in our radial design
Centrifugal Learning - Knowledge now moves in perfect arcs because straight lines are for amateurs
Elliptic Attack Surfaces - Our rotating challenge system makes every point the center
Orb-First Infrastructure - Backend optimized for quantum-level curvature.
This changes nothing but sounds extremely cool!

HACK THE SPHERE: WHERE SECURITY COMES FULL CIRCLE

Same subscription, new dimension!

These are bite-sized, hands-on, black-box style challenges that pop up across Academy content. No hints. No solutions. Just you and the mission.
Missions can be:

Red team (offensive)

Blue team (defensive)

And anything in between

Complete a mission, and you’ll earn a completion badge to show off your progress.
Some of you might’ve already completed a mission without even knowing it.
Head to Academy and check your progress—you might be closer than you think.

Season 8 is just around the corner, and we’re glad to have you with us for another round.

If you haven’t yet, check out the Seasons find-a-team channel and connect with others who match your style, timezone, or goals.

This Season’s theme is Depths—little bit of 1000 leagues under the seas, little Lovecraft.
And if you want to catch up on last Season’s winners, check out the release blog.

Let’s get to it. New machines drop soon.

A new Pro Lab has dropped!

When you get a chance, be sure to checkout Wanderer. You’ll find it takes a very different approach than other labs on the roster.

Wanderer is geared up to keep you puzzled with a mixed bag of targets and is dedicated to the recon lovers out there. The aim of the lab itself is to test you on your core fundamentals, knowledge of enumeration, and strengthen your ability to build attack chains.

This lab asks you to push a bit past conventional methods of testing you might be used to at this point. Just to find new ways to reinvent your own methods if the time calls for you to do it on the fly.

Take a romp in this post-apocalyptic scenario designed by ippsec and have a blast uncovering some of the twists he’s cooked up for you.

The debate on whether or not you need to learn how to code to be in security can vary. But we feel it obviously can’t hurt to learn more skills!

So, we have reviewed our content and added a new Coding Challenge Category!

This will include various Challenges you’ve seen before, but with a new addition of 8 Challenges for beginners. With difficulties ranging from very easy to easy.

The new category focuses on newer users looking to add coding to their studies. Teaching them how to solve basic problems in different languages such as python, C/C++, and rust. While also helping them write some basic scripts to proceed to more complex categories.

Hey @everyone

Join us in #1306737764255010928 if you are interested in attending the live recording of a Cube Cast episode with special guest Forrest Rae ( @steady mica ).

@steady mica has years of experience in the InfoSec field. They also like to DJ, create companies, and contribute to open source projects. One such project is the Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB) that was before milw0rm and exploit-db came into being.

Detection & OpSec Cyber Range is live on HTB Academy (Along with other Purple Modules)

Practice detection skills in a realistic environment (Windows/Linux networks, Splunk, Wazuh integration).

Enumerate, then check logs to see what you created and have some fun getting to know both sides.

Utilize Atomic Red Team to even run adversarial simulations if you want to focus on the blue stuff.

Intermediate-level content (complete "Intro to Academy's Purple Modules" as it’s a strict prerequisite).

The Cyber Range is new for us and you. But, who doesn’t want a lab environment to tinker in?

Nobody has officially reviewed this Module on Academy, we’d love to see what the first person thinks!

Hey @everyone,

After many years of offering our subscriptions at the same price and continuing to expand our content and offerings, today we are announcing a change to how we price and offer subscriptions moving forward.

Why the change

This is our first official pricing update in nearly 5 years, while the content available in the VIP plans has increased by more than 400% since 2020. So far, we’ve absorbed rising costs in infrastructure, security tooling, and content creation without passing them on; however, to keep HTB Labs sustainable, we need to adjust prices. This ensures we can continue scaling globally, maintaining fast and reliable labs, supporting our free tiers, and reinvesting in content and innovation.

What does this mean for you

VIP+ monthly subscriptions will increase by 25% / £18gbp Monthly
VIP+ yearly subscriptions will increase by 10% / £165 Annually
VIP plans will no longer be available for purchase
(Prices may show differently depending on your location and applicable taxes).

VIP Subscriptions will no longer be available after the change date for new subscriptions

The Free-tier will continue to exist as it has, without change.

When does this happen

The aforementioned changes will take effect on October 1st, 2025.

Be aware, all VIP+ monthly/annual subscriptions will be billed at the updated pricing for renewals happening after this date.

Until October 1st, you will still be able to purchase VIP & VIP+ Monthly/Annual subscriptions for the current price, and all subscriptions made will be honored at the current price for the duration of the subscription.

I’m a VIP subscriber, what now?

All VIP+ monthly/annual subscriptions will be billed at the updated pricing for renewals happening after October 1st.

Existing VIP subscribers will maintain their subscription at the current price for renewals for the time being; however, this will not extend forever. Further communication regarding any changes will be sent in advance of any changes, so you are able to make decisions on how you wish to proceed.

If you want to avoid the higher prices, you can purchase an annual subscription until Oct 1st, and lock in the current price for the 12 months of your subscription. Renewals will be charged the new rates.

Further communication regarding any changes will be sent in advance of any changes, so you are able to make decisions on how you wish to proceed.

Hear from our CEO

Ch4p will be present at this Friday’s Cubetalk @ <t:1757088000:f> to answer any questions you may have.

As always, the /feedback command remains at your disposal to share your thoughts & concerns, and HTB Staff will be around to answer any questions, as well as our customer support team (We ask that any questions directly related to your account, and not general about the changes, be directed to the Customer Support team).

In Closing

The full FAQ and further details can be found at our blog post here: https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/htb-labs-pricing-update-2025

We wish to thank everyone, paid and unpaid users, for being a part of the HTB journey so far. We hope to continue to see you and maintain your support as we grow and continue growing our content and feature base to make the best platform possible. 🫡

Heads-up for anyone who enjoys our HTBits puzzles or anyone looking to develop a better understanding of secure code

We’ve just added a new Secure Coding challenge category to the platform.

It comes with 6 hands-on challenges (easy → medium) designed to help you:

Spot and fix vulnerabilities directly in code

Practice secure coding in Python, JavaScript, and C/C++

Learn to recognize logic flaws and dangerous patterns early

Good fit if you’re into software engineering, AppSec, or security engineering. A solid investigation for those who know how to program, and a great start for those who want to learn why reviewing code before going into prod is important

We’ve rolled out a new OSINT challenge category with 10 hands-on challenges all about digging into public data and turning it into real intel.

Perfect if you’re starting or building your OSINT chops, you’ll get to:

Sharpen recon skills with public sources

Track down phishing domains and threat actor infra

Verify identities and follow digital footprints

See how attackers gather info so you can lock things down first

If you’re curious about how it works, check it out on HTB Labs: https://app.hackthebox.com/challenges?category=9&sort_type=asc

Hey hey Pro Labs fans!

We have a few new scenarios dropping onto the shelves for you to check out! This would include one new Pro Lab and two Mini Pro Labs.

Ifrit - Pro Lab (Medium)
Small European IT shop, assumed-breach red team exercise. Objective: get Domain Admin in ifrit.vl. Expect AD escalation, EDR/telemetry tradecraft, and SIEM-heavy pivots.

Mythical - Mini Pro Lab (Hard)
You start with a running Mythic C2 beacon. Great for practicing C2 ops, post-exploit tooling, and modern Windows opsec.

Puppet - Mini Pro Lab (Hard)
Starts with a Sliver C2 beacon. Hybrid Windows/Linux environment for advanced C2 workflows and operator-level pivoting.

All made by xct. Go break stuff (safely) and let us know what ya think!

Hi @everyone

We've updated our process of linking your HTB account to your Discord account.

You are no longer required to have a Labs account to get verified. Our system will pull up your Single Sign-on (SSO) account identifier.

With these changes, the various Academy channels have been locked down and will require verification.

For those of you that already linked your account, we would recommend re-linking your account to refresh your account roles and statuses if you want the updates immediately. We will backfill everyone that has already registered sometime in the future.

Please see the new steps provided by @mossy nova by using /verify

Big thanks to @spiral saffron @sonic creek @unborn willow for making this all come together.

We will be monitoring to make sure things are operating as expected

Thanks

HTB Labs’ UI and frontend have been updated.

We’ve officially upgraded the HTB Labs frontend and made some changes in our user interface for a cleaner layout. What does that mean for you?

Faster load times: UI interactions feel smoother and more responsive.

More frequent feature drops: This upgrade streamlines our engineering workflow, so we can ship features and improvements faster.

Better long-term support: This change unlocks new capabilities for future development, helping us build a more scalable HTB Labs platform.

You’ll still find the same content and tools. Just now, with a cleaner layout, faster performance, and way more potential.

🎄💚 Advent of The Relics starts December 25, 2025

Hey @everyone,

We have something special for all Sherlock fans this holiday season. On December 25, 2025, we kick off Advent of The Relics, a story-driven investigation series that will take you through a unique, gritty narrative.

This is not a cute Santa and elves vibe. Expect a hard-edged organized crime storyline, a heist built around the festive chaos, and investigations that feel a little colder than the decorations outside. 🕯️🧩

As always, we wanted to make this holiday period more fun for all of you. If you enjoy strong storytelling, you are in for a treat. You will also get to explore some fresh angles, including drone forensics and a slightly different take on threat intelligence. 🔍

📄 Supporting PDFs

PDF 0 – Introduction is already available on GitHub (attached in the repo) and sets the stage for the series.
A few days before each Sherlock drops, you will receive a companion PDF document.
Note: There will be no companion PDF for Part 2.

You will find everything here: https://github.com/hackthebox/advent-of-the-relics

🗓️ Episodes and release schedule

Part 1: A Call from the Museum
📅 December 25, 2025 - 12:00 UTC

Part 2: Operation Winter Blackout
📅 December 25, 2025 - 12:00 UTC

Part 3: The Abandoned Farmhouse
📅 January 1, 2026 - 19:00 UTC

Part 4: A Drone in the Snow
📅 January 8, 2026 - 19:00 UTC

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us in #sherlocks.

Wishing you happy upcoming holidays and good luck with the investigations. 🎁💚✨

Cube Cast
We've released a new Cube Cast episode: 42 Breaches: A Red Teamer’s Guide with Ansh Chandnani

Ansh is a Red Team Security Engineer at Google, who shares his journey from writing Logo code in Dubai to hacking at one of the biggest tech companies in the world. They dive into early programming influences, how curiosity shaped his path into InfoSec, the value of CTFs and structured education, and how to handle imposter syndrome in a rapidly evolving industry. Ansh also gives his candid take on AI in cybersecurity, building versus breaking, and even what item he’d steal from your house just to mildly inconvenience you.

Heads up, hackers!

You might have already noticed, but HTB Labs got a UI revamp. With it comes new ways to maneuver through the site and see information about your current journey.

One of the newer additions is that "In Progress " now gives users a more accurate view of what is actively being worked on by showing progress the moment a user starts engaging with content, rather than only showing progress after milestones have been achieved.

Machines will now show up in this field right when they are spawned instead of when a users gets their first flag. And you'll be able to find Challenges and Sherlocks in this section, too!

When you finish the item on the list, it will obviously disappear from this list! But you can also take items from this list by hovering over the item and clicking the X that shows up.

Starting January 15th, all users (Free + VIP) will get their own Dedicated Machine instances on HTB Labs. That means no more sharing Machines, smoother sessions, and faster content drops coming your way.

Playing newly released Machines? Make sure to use Release Arena for a dedicated, pre-spawned experience if you are a VIP or Free user. All stays the same for VIP+ subscribers.

⚠️ NOTICE Action required for <@&586528637658988550> (VIP) users: Your current VPN keys will stop working on Jan 15 as we unify access to dedicated instances. Make sure to update your keys on Thursday!

Hey hey! A little bit of hype for those interested in ICS/SCADA. We are releasing 4 brand-new ICS/SCADA challenges across multiple difficulty levels. This is just a start for our ICS category for Challenges!

Have some fun digging into some hands-on OT security, with more ICS content on the way.

We’ve made it to 10, y’all!

Ten Seasons of grueling competition and late nights. I wanted to let you know it’s been an incredible journey.

You have all come together in groups globally to create one of the sickest communities around.

Each Season, I tried to put a little story and flair into how we broadcast this competition, but this time it is simple, it’s about you.

Season 10 Undergorund is about the countless nights you’ve spent at your desk trying to snag your first blood, or even just get the user flag on your first easy Machine.

It has been an honor to even recount our winners in each of our Seasonal blogs (Also, check it out for updates and news): https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/HTB-Season-10-Underground

Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or have decided to boot up for the first time this Season, I want to thank you. Your spirit and willingness to break past conventional learning are what give this competition gas. I am looking forward to what the future of Seasons will look like.

The countdown till this Saturday has already begun: https://app.hackthebox.com/seasonal?tab=rewards&season_id=13

We are stoked to announce we are releasing the HTB Certified Wi-Fi Pentesting Expert (HTB CWPE) ! There’s a good chance you saw the WiFi Penetration Tester path drop, which is a healthy indicator we’d follow up with a challenge for you sink your teeth into.

Look, in the year 2025, 3.9 billion Wi-Fi-enabled devices were shipped globally. That number is only going to rise and create more opportunities for those looking to add a wildly fun skill to their global arsenal.

The HTB CWPE will be our way to test those looking to upgrade their enterprise-tier Wi-Fi hacking chops and broadcast that proof.
Plus, look at this guy! Happy hacking y’all

Hey there! We want to decrease the number of announcements on this channel, but still provide updates you might want to know about.

So, we are going to start bundling the info straight from the dev team into one post each month.

Most changes have been on HTB Labs:

🔍 Advanced Filters - Slice Machines, Sherlocks, and Challenges by vulnerability, category, language, technique, and even share filtered views with others!

📊 Stats have been upgraded - Track your last months of Machine completions, see difficulty with clean visual rings, and monitor Pro Lab, Mini Pro Lab, and Fortress progress in one place.

🏄 Advanced Profile - Head over to your Account page and deckout a custom profile page you can share. Add accomplishments and the skills you’ve learned, and tie it to your linktree, virtual business card, or resume/CV for extra street cred.

Alright, we have a couple of updates, so here’s your download:

More Pro Labs and Minis have been released! xct has dropped Shinra (Medium difficulty), which is about being covert and not triggering any detection mechanisms & Reflection (Advanced difficulty) is an AD-focused Min Pro Lab that continues to test you on your knowledge of services and identity management.    And r0BIT has dropped Trusted (Advanced Difficulty) Mini Pro Lab, you work as a red teamer charged with assessing an internal network you’ve been given access to with no creds! I wonder what you’ll find…

Users now have access to public certification pages on HTB Profile. HTB Academy certificate holders now have access to dedicated, public-facing pages for every certification earned.

As you’re aware, HTB Academy has a new look. Now, there’s been an amazing amount of discourse about this; it’s what we expect from a passionate community. We are taking in feedback that is specific and defines direct issues you’re having. Can’t stress this enough, being clear about an issue will always have better results than something vague. Y’all are doing work to improve something you love, and that in itself is important work.  
Speaking of questions, if you have any about the HTB CWPE, head to this AMA and slam down that question:

Hello @everyone

It has come to HTB's attention and mine that there are a number of accounts being created to impersonate myself ( @inland marsh ).

These accounts will all have the display name of FalconSpy and a username of falconspy* with varying numbers or even some underscores falconspy_*. These impersonators will not be in the HTB server and will not contain the HTB Tag like I do as of now at least. They will also probably not share any mutual servers as you (HTB at the very least).

They will try to send you friend requests and messages in hopes of having you join some telegram server to scam you.

I don't typically friend users and if I need to DM you, typically I will post a message in #general first.

If you have any questions or if you are unsure it's me, feel free to reach out whenever to my DMs. They are always open to everyone and anyone.

Examples attached

Thank you

Hello fellow hackers,

The new XP system is here!

Every step now counts toward your permanent lifetime progress. Starting today, you can experience a unified completion score across Labs and Academy, earn 1.3x bonuses on Active Labs, and climb the new Grade-based ranks from Beginner to Grandmaster.

**🚀 Whats new? **
XP Points: Unified XP score for Machines, Challenges, and Academy Modules with 1.3x multiplier for Active Labs
Weekly Streaks: 200 XP required per calendar week (Mon-Sun UTC) to keep your streak alive.
Streak Savers: Monthly savers now available for Labs VIP+ and Academy Annual subs. Hold up to 3 at a time!
New Rank Grades: Climb through 7 new ranks and 3 sub-grades, and more than 100 levels for more frequent rewards, all the way to Grandmaster.

As of this release, XP coexists with Legacy Ranks and Seasons on HTB Labs. Legacy Ranks remain the high-prestige proving ground for Active Labs, while Seasons continue to host our short-term competitive sprints.

All changes are now live on HTB Labs and will soon be deployed on HTB Academy as well.

@everyone As an update for the Discord, I am currently working on trying to get users into the Discord, I've made a post on the forums and posted the Discord on Discord.me (https://forum.hackthebox.eu/discussion/993/new-discord & https://discord.me/hackthebox) - I will also make a post on Reddit tomorrow in order to try and get more people back in here whilst we rebuild. In regards to rebuilding, once we get more users in I will be trying to pick some people to moderate the Discord, if you think you would like to do this then please contact me!

New Discord

Hello all, Unfortunately it would appear the old Discord was completely wiped, as such I've created a new Discord for us all to enjoy…

cinder owl Aug 15, 2018, 6:50 AM

#

@everyone Thank you to each and every one of you that has joined! I appreciate it, if you could spread the word even better! As a quick update following the announcement above, I am currently looking for two moderators to help out in Discord preferably one from the EU and one from the NA region (I realise there is a wide scale of timezones) there may not be a great deal to do right now, but hopefully as the Discord "re-populates" we will have a much more community-like environment. If you feel that this is something you'd like to take on board then please PM me and I'll have a chat with you!

cinder owl Aug 15, 2018, 8:26 PM

#

@everyone Good evening all! Firstly, I'd like to say thank you very much for joining, I really appreciate it and so does the community! We're already at 58 members (Including bots and my second profile) and we're growing quite fast, this is great news - hopefully this Discord will be a lot more active than the last one was! Secondly, I am still considering moderators so please be patient. As a penultimate note I am still actively looking for an administrator (those who applied for mod also are in that pool) this role requires a very active person (currently there isn't a whole lot to do but in the future this will be important) and someone with a lot of moderation experience and knowledge of Discord! Finally, if you could I'd like you to fill out a quick Strawpoll I made about the current state of the Discord - https://www.strawpoll.me/16276814 remember this is a community run Discord! Any issues or suggestions please feel free to express them, we won't hack you I promise 😉

Straw Poll

On a scale of 1-10, how happy are you with the new Discord?

Vote Now! [1 - Miserable] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10 - Fucking ecstatic]

Psst. if you don't want to open a link (I understand) use reactions to upvote or downvote 😉

@everyone Okay I am never going to get everyone online at once because of timezones, however, I'd like to announce the three trial-moderators to the team - @twin bronze @real pebble @cinder owl - all were successful in their applications, Zeus is in the APAC region so unless your from that timezone you might not see him on much! Still looking for a NA mod though sumUp Any questions please feel free to contact one of them in #474604915663044608 or if you want to speak to me slide into my DMs, which is something that Keira will never do so they're open!

@everyone Oh to add to the above, we're nearly at 100 members so thank you for continued support, please feel free to suggest ideas in #479207267233693706 and take advantage of our new channels where you can work on boxes with your fellow members! sumUp

@everyone Good afternoon! We're now at 99 members (two bots and my second account are included in that) but the good news is we are almost at the big 100! I'd like to inform you that I've now added leaderboard positions as tags into Discord, if you're in the top 100, 50, 25, 10, 5 or rank one you can now get a new tag! Please use #477062251056988170 and I will assign it to you. We're making progress with more things to come in the future, any suggestions please feel free to drop them in #479207267233693706

@everyone Afternoon, just like to tell you about some minor changes made to the Discord, I've now added a Webhook to pull down Tweets from the HTB Twitter into #htb-twitter please let me know if this is broken and I will get to fixing it!

@everyone Hey everyone, sorry for the @ so late. Just a quick update, today I sent an email to the staff at HTB, hopefully in the near future we should be knighted as the "Official HTB Discord" - if we can pull this off that would be a fantastic achievement. I would also like to apologise for no updates in here as of late. On a final note, I would like to thank each and every one of you for sticking around, since my last announcement we have gained over 100 users! Hopefully we will continue to grow even more! Thank you all very much, you guys did all of this so you should be proud we're building a community here. Any suggestions please use #479207267233693706 I appreciate all your input! sumLove

@everyone Good evening, I would like to inform you (as you might've noticed from the title) we're now the "official" HTB Discord! So congratulations to you guys for making that happen, stay active and the Discord will grow even more! The hard work doesn't end here. I would also like you all to congratulate, @twin bronze @cinder owl and @real pebble for being announced as the three mods of this server, you might notice Zeus isn't always active this is due to this timezone but he can be around for the AS timezone! I would like to mention that we now have a member of staff from HTB in the Discord, please don't ping him, if you're caught doing this you will be banned, he is here if we need him but in general he won't be active all the time as I am sure he's a busy guy! Yeah, anyway - have fun! Any suggestions please use the #479207267233693706 channel. Happy hacking! sumLove

#

@everyone Sorry for the double @ I forgot to mention, I am still looking for a mod to cover the NA timezone(s)! If anyone is interested please PM me.

@everyone Good morning all, as some of you may know, we have a team on HTB, currently we're not doing anything with this team, however as of today we will be using it, not on HTB just yet, however anyone in the HTB Team will be able to join the CTF team. In order to get this Discord more active we will now be using the HTB team to enter CTFs of the communities choice. If you want to participate in CTFs with users from this Discord under the HTB Discord Team then please message @twin bronze he will add you to the group. We will work on what CTFs we will enter beginning of next week (that is if we have enough interest in members joining) sumLove

@everyone I apologise for the super late announcement, however, I would like you to welcome @obsidian swan to the mod team, he starts as a trial mod so if you could congratulate him that would be great! I'm still trying to get everything in order so if you applied and didn't get it I apologise for that, however, I will throw your hats into the ring for the next time. (If you no longer want a position then just let me know and I will take note) - as I said, still trying to get things in order since we were made official, so please any issues speak to me, a mod or any other staff member and we will be happy to help. As a final note, still looking for a moderator to cover NA West, so if any of you NA West guys want a role please DM me and we can talk about it. Anyway, once again congratulations to @obsidian swan and my condolences to those that did not qualify. It was a pretty hard decision considering everyone who applied was NA EST LUL happy hacking sumLove

We will be picking positions sometime towards the end of next week, thank you. PLEASE CONTACT A MOD FOR THE CANDIDATE ROLE

@everyone Evening all, if you could please give a warm welcome to @cinder owl @fallow dune and @long owl for being successful in their applications to join the mod team, that would be much appreciated. P.S - we're almost at 450 users 😉 Oh! And for anyone on the CTF Team, @fallow dune is now the HTB Team Lead (technically along with Legend) so if you have any questions about the HTB Team please direct them at him, thank you.

@everyone If everyone could take the survey in #479207267233693706 that would be so great (The bot will PM you)

cinder owl Oct 8, 2018, 4:49 PM

#

@everyone Evening all, I appreciate you taking the survey - I'm sorry for the delayed response on this but sadly the results are lost, I was hoping one of the devs would be able to return them but it turns out the survey feature in the bot is really fucked. On that note, if anyone that would still like a result wants please either thumbs up to say yes for a currency system or thumbs down for no. Sadly this will have to do as we simply cannot recover the results of the poll. I apologise for that... I clearly overlooked the feature - should've asked the devs first. Anyway, if you guys could go ahead and react to this with the specified above that would be great. Thanks for your hard work, keep it up. sumLove

#

As a brief explanation the general idea would be that users that help out get extra virtual currency for helping - all users would also get currency for just being here as well.

#

Just ask me questions and I will be happy to answer them.

Additionally, #careers-and-certs and #487331459267297301 have been reorganized under a new category: "learn-and-grow".

obsidian swan Oct 21, 2018, 8:33 PM

@everyone okay, for cereal...last update, promise. This is kind of a big one, so bear with me:

There is also a new "Pro Labs Participant" role. If you are participating in the Pro Labs, please let a mod know and we will assign you the role. You will need this in order to participate in the channel.
There is also a new "PWK/OSCP Student" Role. Nothing will be done with this yet, however if #503656275649757184 is a success, you will need this role in order to participate in the channel going forward. We're doing this in order to prevent from things like cheating/spoiling. As such, in order to obtain this role, we will need proof of your status in the form of your OSID or a photograph of your certificate.
Most importantly, our benevolent dictator for life, Linkz, is going through a rough spell, and has asked that we respectfully not ping him. If you need to speak to him, please contact one of our mods/admins. Please respect Linkz' wishes. Failure to do so will result in a ban.

@everyone as there has been a fair bit of interest in helping us develop a Discord Bot, I have started a group, and project, on my private Gitlab server.

With that said: Anyone who would like to help us with this project can sign up at https://gitlab.cephsec.com/.

Additionally, please head over to #477062251056988170 to let us know you would like to participate, as we will be assigning roles on here which will map to Gitlab roles eventually as well.

Finally, we are looking for developers who are proficient with Python, as the bot will be leveraging the discord.py library.

@everyone Hey! So, some of you may or may not remember that on the 19th Oct I posted an announcement to say that I will be gone for a while and that Boxing will be in charge, well the observant of you may have noticed that mostly I didn't go anywhere I was just around a little less anyway, @obsidian swan position as Server Maintenance has become a little more permanent; my role is going to be shifting to "Founder" from this point onwards, in terms of what this means for you guys, there won't be much change. I will still be around, participating in conversations, CTFs, etc however it does mean I will no longer be involved in day-day runnings or things of that nature - most of my work will be behind the scenes now things such as: improving the server, bringing new additions, etc.

With that said I want to keep this short so all I will say is - thank you all very much for making this server what it is and I am very appreciative of all the support from you guys so give yourselves a pat on the back sumUp as I said, I will still be around just less (maybe) but mostly I am doing this for me and no other reason so don't think it's anything that happens here that caused it sumLove

Secondly, the request for hint system that we're building into the official HTB Discord bot is nearly done, we aim to get this done for 30th November so public testing will be open around that date - this system should massively improve the #474602442022191104 channel for sure!

Thirdly, once again - congratulations on getting us over 800 users, and keep up the hard work! sumUp

cinder owl Dec 25, 2018, 6:03 PM

#

@everyone Merry Christmas everyone, today is the day that we introduce the new "Be Nice" policy, this policy is to go along with the current rules which will also soon see their own update - for now, take a look over in #477042216737701889 at the new Be Nice policy as this will be heavily enforced in full effect starting from today.

#

@everyone Sorry for the triple ping today, just to add some detail to this, the punishments are incremental so if something is equivalent to "2 Warnings" that means if you're caught doing it twice you'll be banned as the bot auto-bans at 4 active warnings.

I'd like to add - if you have any feedback regarding this new policy feel free to DM me and I'm more than happy to listen to what you've got to say! sumUp happy holidays.

Hey all!
Hope you guys are enjoying your holiday season. With the New Year coming up we have taken the time to compile some of the data that you have given us from the giveaway into a couple of charts.
How did you hear about us - https://goo.gl/8og7c8

@everyone Evening all, just wanted to say - happy new year! I know a few of you dislike the pings (see #477042216737701889) but for those of you who don't mind them, happy new year! I hope you've all had a good year and here's to the next one!

A few words from myself, I never thought when I started this server it would get so big, I mean, we're close to 1400 users in less than a year, if I remember correctly the server is 8 months old (someone will be able to correct me) so thanks to all the work you guys have done - big things coming for this server in 2019 soon™ you better be hyped ;)

Have a good evening guys, thanks for everything. sumLove

@everyone Good Afternoon everyone, Stu from The Many Hats Club has announced our Discord in their server and as such we've had an influx in users, please make the new users from THMC welcome and don't forget to say hi!

If you're unaware of who the THMC are please feel free to join their Discord using the following link - https://discord.gg/infosec it's certainly a cool place with plenty of channels and a lot of interesting discussions. All of you from THMC, welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

Finally, don't forget we're currently running a giveaway for a whole year of HTB VIP so don't forget to join, we will roll mid-end next week! sumUp

@everyone Apologies for the ping, would just like to highlight something about the giveaway, if you join the giveaway make you stay in the Discord. If you're not still in the Discord when we roll then we won't chase around to find you on other platforms! sumUp (obviously this only concerns people who were thinking of leaving before the giveaway is rolled, the people already left will have their submission removed...)

@everyone Evening, so just a quick update, you can now use ?report userid/mention Reason in #474604915663044608 and ?suggest Suggestion Description in #479207267233693706 the former feature should fit nicely with the new Be Nice policy and the new suggest system will be helpful for staff keeping track of things.

@everyone Afternoon all, some of you might've noticed some changes over the last few days.

Firstly, all of the current support staff were moved to moderators, this is because we're hiring more support staff.
Secondly, we have now removed the off-topic sections, as this it the HTB Discord we're moving this to be fully centred around HTB & InfoSec so we will no longer have any off-topic channels here!
Finally, me & a few of the staff from here are now running a new InfoSec project, this won't align with HTB as it is a separate project entirely, don't worry though - HTB server is going no where! New stuff coming soon™

Here's an invite to our new InfoSec server/project - https://discord.gg/MtMcwCs

@everyone Okay so I know a lot of you won't really care about this but for those of you who do, here goes, I guess.

When I started this server I never thought it would become so huge, in-fact I remember saying to @hexed cypress that I think it would be a complete disaster and I put off creating it for weeks, anyways I decided to create it and somehow it has grown to 2500~ users and for that, I am really grateful, honestly it means a lot and you guys should applaud yourself. However, that does not come at no cost, whilst it may seem like "just a Discord server" I had to put in a lot of work to get it to this state and I thought there'd be a point where all the work stops but it doesn't it is ongoing and I'll be honest, it is time I just step away now. The server has been running for like 8 months (I think) and honestly it has really been a contributing to factor to my mental state deteriorating over time, it is not the main factor but just another weight.

So, I'm going to go for a little while, sure I might hang out here occasionally but as of now all of my staff tasks are just not going to be there anymore and in my place @grave swan will fulfil my role until I make the decision on what I'd like to do. I love this server & this community (of course I would not be here if I did not) but I have my own problems which are already not great for me (I don't want to go into much detail because some of it is graphic and not fit for here so...) anyways, seriously, thanks and yeah I'll be hanging around but please don't come to me for anything server related because I'm just going to direct you somewhere else.

I'm really sorry for letting you guys down but I put this server before myself and a lot of things for a long time and now it is time for me trying to improve my mental state instead of just piling things on top of myself. So yeah, sorry. I might be back, I don't know really.

Take care! sumLove

P.S Look after Tobu 😉

#

One thing I'd like to add, if any of you ever feel like things are weighing on you - just drop the "responsibilities" that you might have, obviously what I mean is if they are not important ones, just drop them. It is not worth making yourself feel what I & many others feel, seriously.

#

Hmm, it is okay to be selfish sometimes I guess is what I am trying to say.

grave swan Feb 9, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

First, thank you so much Linxz for setting up the server and for all off your hard working hours that have been put into it. Not only is it a fantastic community but an excellent resource for new people in the info sec community. Secondly, Thank you for your trust, I promise that the server is in good hands.
We all wish you the very best for your future projects! ❤

@everyone apologies for those users who were having issues with the bot. The bot developers added a couple of new features to the bot which we were not immediately aware of which seems to have caused the issue. We've done some troubleshooting and things should be back to normal.

@everyone Hey everyone! This is your HTB Mod Staff. We'd like to announce some new features here:

For starters, over the last little while, we’ve seen a proliferation of data breaches in the news, and as we are a community dedicated to InfoSec, we’re proud to offer a new service. You will notice there is a new voice channel called #passwords, here you will find a constant audio stream of the Have I Been Pwned password list. If you hear your password, let us know, and we will personally contact Troy Hunt himself and ask that your password be removed from the database.

Second, We here on the HTB Discord full well know that not enough of us here get enough time away from our screens, a lot of us work very demanding jobs and lead hectic lives. Thus, we have created a new voice channel called #hack-the-barnyard, dedicated to making you feel like you’re spending a day at a relaxing, pastoral country farm, far away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

Finally, We here on the HTB Discord Staff know that it’s not always easy to get a hold of a moderator. With that in mind we are happy to introduce our new Dial-a-Mod service. Simply call +1 617 315 2854 to be immediately connected to a member of our mod staff.

Hello everyone!
Over some time now, we from the staff have noticed that the majority of you guys are not happy about being pinged. There have been huge fights about this subject and we have therefore implemented a way for you to opt out of these messages.
What that means we will not use @/everyone anymore unless we absolutely have to. Instead, we have now <@&541028492331188234> ements which will serve the same function as “everyone” but you have the option to opt out.
How do you opt out? You can now opt out by writing in the command: ?rank announcements

The biggest one you may have noticed is the Memes channel and the OffSec channels are gone FeelsBadMan . Well, don't fear <USERNAME HERE>! We are working towards making the Discord more modular, letting you choose what channels you would like to see with opting in and out!

P.S.
#564205025308704769 no longer gets purged
opt in today in #bot-commands with the ?rank Meme Connoisseur and ?rank OffSec

Hello <@&541028492331188234>
As you’ve might have seen, we are as of now not partnered with the many hats club. Me and Stu have talked and have a mutual agreement that we need to have a small break to get other stuff sorted out properly. I’d like to mention that there’s no bad blood between us, we fully respect TMHC and their projects. More ever, our relation from this episode has only strengthen the relationship that we currently have. In addition to all of this, Both Stu and I are only doing what’s best for the community as the last announcement we made was based on a misunderstanding.

It's a really cool add-on for chrome/firefox/opera/edge that allows you to see when a person has viewed an email. Pretty simple and pretty cool.

The other one is Ugly Email - https://uglyemail.com/
It does the exact opposite. It blocks people from tracking you (and tells you which ones are tracking you!). It's also available for Chrome/Firefox!

Sadly this post isn't sponsored so ya boi isn't getting big robux for it :(
hmu for them sponsors 🤑 /s

Anyways, hope you guys found an addon you can use!

Hey <@&541028492331188234>!
I was poking around the HTB website today and found this little bundle of joy... https://www.hackthebox.eu/home/endgame/view/2

Desc:

Xen
By egre55
Humongous Retail operates a nationwide chain of stores.
The company has reacted to several recent skimming incidents by investing heavily in their POS systems. Keen to avoid any further negative publicity, they have engaged the services of a penetration testing company to assess the security of their perimeter and internal infrastructure.
Xen is designed to put your skills in enumeration, breakout, lateral movement, and privilege escalation to the test within a small Active Directory environment.
The goal is to gain a foothold on the internal network, escalate privileges and ultimately compromise the domain while collecting several flags along the way.
Entry Point: 10.15.38.12

This is a reminder to not pester individuals about AMA requests. If they change their mind, I'm sure that they will inform us. With that being said, we have no AMAs planned. We're all very busy at the moment.

Another thing:
Please, if you're going to talk to a HTB staff or box creator, have a valid reason for it. Short sweet and to the point preferably. They're very busy people.

In other news, Xen is coming soon 👀

@everyone Sorry for the two pings in one day, its been a chaotic one.

It has come to our attention that a user on our server has been doxed, from this point forward we will be enforcing a strict do not post other users linked/non linked accounts without the users consent. This is to protect us, as much as it is you. We will not be giving out any specific details, but if you have any info or leads, we request that you report it to an Administrator immediately. And please, be kind to one another.
Sincerely,
Discord Staff.

@everyone it has come to our attention that not only are HTB Discord users being doxed, but they are also being discriminated against on the basis of their gender identity. Let it be known that we do not abide by this behaviour, and we stand by our LGBTQ users in solidarity. We are so sorry you have to go through this, and we promise we will do everything in our power to make this a safe space for you.

Hey all!
I hope you're having a wonderful Friday, we just got an message from G0blin saying that HTB Version 1.8.0 is upon us! :D
Here's a sneak peak of the features:

[+] Addition: Country member ranking
In order to provide better insight of rankings within certain countries, we have provided the ability for users to see the top 100 ranked users per country. In order to view the ranking of a country, simply click on the country name from the ranking page.

[+] Addition: Team member profile links
To enable quicker navigation between teams and their members, we now link to team members profiles from the teams profile page.

[+] Addition: Member finder modal
The member list has now been replaced with a modal, allowing for quicker discovery of users.

[~] Change: Prevention of autocomplete in settings
Autocomplete has been disabled on all fields under member settings. This resolves headaches some users have expressed regarding updating their settings.

You can check out the full changes at the Changelog below:

Hey guys, we have just released our first VIP2.0 beta server in the EU. It has limited slots so grab one while you can! It features on-demand machine spawning for any machine in our retired pool. VIP users can switch VPNs here: https://www.hackthebox.eu/home/htb/access

Note that you will need to re-download your connection pack after switching VPNs.

We ask that when you are finished with the VPN, if you do not plan to continue using it, that you switch back to a regular VIP server to allow other users to test it out. We are running this beta for one week to get an idea of resource usage with the new system. Have fun and happy hacking!

Henlo.
Just to clear up some general uncertainty regarding content rule #7: this rule includes hints about the services of the particular box, that would reveal an attack vector, even if it's masked by the spoiler tags (||spoiler|| <-- these). This means that it is not permitted to discuss what to use or how to use it in the active box channels, for example to reveal that to get user on Box ABC you need to use RCE to get started. Doing so rules out so many other vectors, it spoils the fun of the people who happen to accidentally read it.

For your convenience, I've put together a few examples of good and bad types of hints.

Examples:
Good hints:

  - Enumerate the service you found a little more and remember to experiment.
  - Why is page A is loaded and not page B? Be creative.
  - I can't help much because of the... permissions... on discord
  - Hey guys, I found the M***L but I cannot do N** **** /A** - any ideas?

Bad hints:

  - You can read the shadow file on the https website and win.
  - Try using ||sqlmap|| on the ||page.php?id=3|| and see what it tells you.
  - Check SUIDs.
  - Hey guys, I found MSSQL but I cannot do ||NET USER /ADD|| - any ideas?

In essence, if the hint reveals an important details, it is a violation of the rule. If in doubt, follow the same guidelines as on the official HTB forum. Spoiler tags do no suffice for covering up spoilers. Make sure the people who should not know what you are talking about do not know what you're talking about.

@everyone Hello HTBers!

Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that some other InfoSec Discords have recently reported that users have been receiving DMs asking their age, and upon finding they are minors, attempting to solicit lewd pictures/sexual favours.

It goes without saying that we find this behaviour abhorrent, illegal, and we will absolutely not tolerate it. Know that if you DO engage in such behaviour, a ban will be the least of your worries; you WILL be reported to Discord, as well as law enforcement.

If anyone approaches and asks you for such things please DM myself or one of the other online staff, and we will see to it that the matter is dealt with swiftly and with extreme prejudice.

Head over to #477062251056988170 and verify your HTB profile with your discord user (staff will not be able to see the link, no). The bot will then do its magic and ensure you get the required permissions to view all the additional channels 😄

It is very important for this server to be inclusive of all regardless of age (13+), gender, sexual orientation, you name it. This server is an offer for those who can play by the rules, not a privilege or a human right.

Remember that freedom of speech is not the same as the freedom to say whatever you want without punishment.

It may be obvious for some people but let me stress this again: the use of selfbots or the developer console to automate user actions through the Discord API using your own, private token is against the terms of use, and we will from now on punish this behaviour hard and report it to Discord if we become aware of such activities.

Our standpoint is quite clear: play by the rules or find another playground.

Hi all, just a gentle reminder that before posting in channels under HTB: ACTIVE MACHINES / CHALLENGES you should consider if what is said can be used to spoiler another user. Putting something in spoiler tags (example: ||spoiler||) doesn't make it okay to spoil the whole initial foothold to a machine. Both this Discord & the HackTheBox official website are heavy against active spoilers. If you catch someone flag sharing, spoiling way too much of a machine then please contact a staff member. Thank you!

Remember to have fun and continue hacking. Pop shells not keecaps! hackerman

Hey @everyone :D
I'm happy to announce some upcoming changes to the server. These changes aim to simplify the flow in our community and to make it easier for you as a member to not only get help with the older boxes you may be wanting to do, but also make it easier for us to keep track of spoilers so your experience is better kept in tact. :)

These are the changes that are going to happen:

All named box channels will first be made read only, then archived and later deleted
#request-for-challenge-hints renamed to #487017571254534145
#request-for-box-hints renamed to #584429971259392033
#retired-machines renamed to #590585078216785956
Named channels will be created for the most recent box and the box before this only (e.g. #628871596794445834 and #626155894778101819 at the time of writing), thus having the oldest channel replaced by the next new box shortly before the release

The changes will take effect later tonight 🙂

minor owl Oct 8, 2019, 12:51 PM

#

Another small spring cleaning update
Due to very low activity, we will be removing #597872611170582597 and #592253057916731402. If the interest for these channels should pick up again in the future, we will be more than happy to create them again 🙂 The same goes for other hobby channels - if something has enough support it will be taken up for consideration.

Scams n' December
Because I haven't used the @everyone tag in over two months, here it is! 😄
(Please use the appropriate emojis below to show your frustrations or love, if any.)

As you may have already noticed, one or more vigilante fools are trying to trick you intro committing crimes through DMs. REPORT THE USER(s) TO DISCORD, BLOCK THEM AND DM A MOD/ADMIN THEIR ID.

In case you're in doubt: no you will not get any money they promise, however you will get into legal trouble that may ruin your entire career. This is the new Nigerian Prince scam... don't fall for it.

While I've got your attention I want to wish you all a merry whatever-does-not-offend-you and a happy last-day-of-popular-calendar. Due to the upcoming holidays please note that you may experience a longer response time from your beloved Discord and HTB staff members. We still love you all, nothing personal, but during this time of year the strange concept called "family" demands our presence elsewhere. 🎄

Hakuna matata and happy hacking from all of us to all of you!
Ps: Yes Santa is real! Shush you! 🎅

Smol update: #bot-commands was moved to "HTB: OFFTOPIC" and ++karma system enabled for everyone to use. This command will show a meme-score of how many times someone has said, more or less literally, "thanks @yourusername". Let's try it out, see how it goes, and if it explodes in spam or if people start begging / requiring a "thanks", I'll disable it again.

Everyone can also issue ++leaderboard to see the top-10 most "thanked" members. Please do not use this command outside of #bot-commands.

Needless to say on a hacking server, do not click links from random DMs that spam you. It is not a way to get free nitro, however a way to lose your Discord auth token.
In relation to that, we've of course already banned the many variations of the user that were on the server. 😄

EU VIP users please note:

Good morning - we'll be performing some maintenance on some of our infrastructure which will impact a few VIP labs this morning. We do not expect down time to be more than an hour. Apologies for the inconvenience.

This will only impact EU VIP. If you are on a server which is affected, I'd recommend switching to US and back to EU in order to placed on a different server.

Polite reminder that the box channels, e.g. #670703115816927297 and #668121651333955585 WILL DISAPPEAR OVER NIGHT if the spoiler hell continues like it has in the past few weeks. The purpose of the channels is to talk about the box, the progress and to ask for help - NOT to ask if "file_a.exe" is the right approach or if you need to "exploit port 1234" to get user. Again: it is OK to vaguely suggest what you're talking about, but if somebody without contextual knowledge can tell what you're talking about, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.
Thanks ❤️ Love you all ❤️

A recent event has prompted this announcement along with an increase in public reporting of cheaters.

If you suspect an account of cheating /flag sharing then please DM either a moderator or admin with the details. This information will then be passed on to relevant HTB staff to investigate, and where appropriate they will take action. Please do not discuss it in public channels false accusations can be very damaging to individuals affected.

So, during the rest of the weekend (or until either of @spice briar or @dark dagger yells at me), let's try something fun! I made a few meme colour roles which don't do anything except make your name change to a different colour. The colors are <@&690951988321583156> <@&691078388093288469> <@&691078583174561873> <@&691079242473275422> <@&691079563090067466> and the very special, and definitely not something I'll promise will stay for very long: <@&691081046204350466> ("i can haz invisiblez?")

To get a new colour, all you gotta do is simply to ask nicely 😄 All except the annoyingly perfect grey are up for grabs right away.

can haz invisiblez? will be here forever! birb is lying

minor owl Mar 22, 2020, 1:04 PM

In the final hours I've added <@&691269049283379251> to the mix. Enjoy it while it lasts though as things will go back to normal tonight somewhere around midnight-ish CET or UTC.

Also should we have more of these random weekend events? Please vote Y for yes, and N for no.

Hey guys, on the release night please remember to reset the box you're working on when you've got root, or at the very least clean up after yourself. This box will ruin the experience for people if you forget to clean up after yourself (resetting), which is a shame...

Greetings @everyone! GIVE AWAY TIIIIIIME! But first... As you may or may not have already noticed we implemented a few changes in the channels tonight. The primary reasons for doing so was to clean up in old, unused channels, and to change the focus on the HTB Discord Server to being more about the community and knowledge sharing, than asking for DM nudges for boxes. As such, the bellow outlines the most noticeable changes:
*** ** The #welcome channel has been updated to include all you need to get started on the server.
*** ** The two most recent boxes will for now keep their channels as is to help the communication during and after release night.
*** ** The channels for discussing active and retired boxes as well as active challenges have been deleted and instead replaced with the below concept.
*** ** Two new channels were added, which are opt-in-only: #red-team and #blue-team. Their purpose is, as also described in the Welcome message, to give us a way to discuss and ask questions about the technical theory of hacking as well as methodologies and so forth. The #red-team channel replaces the previous box channels. This means it is now very important that you read the new rule, rule 11, and the pin(s) in the channels. The major game changer here is that you do not ask about a particular box, you ask about a specific technique or ask for help enhancing your enumeration methodology. To get the one or both of the new roles, head over to #welcome.
*** ** Rule 11 has been added. Check our #rules for more details (important if you are participating in red/blue team).

To celebrate this new radical change, go grab yourself a role and enter the giveaway near the channels for a chance to win One £25 Swag Shop Gift Card!

Re. the missing/locked #584429971259392033 and #487017571254534145:
Some people have rightfully so expressed concern about how to ask for a nudge for boxes and challenges that are particularly "CTF-like", in the event of being stuck at a very niche point in the content. For example staying on track in OSINT challenges ("jianting watches" anyone?) or identifying that one piece of missing information during file content analysis.

For the time being try your best to explain what it is that is holding you back rather than asking for someone to DM you about box X or challenge Y.
For example, the above dilemmas could be phrased like: "how do I know when I'm on the right track when doing OSINT and in particular with regards to HTB challenges" and "I'm enumerating the filesystem of a box looking for clues, but there are many files and I feel like I'm missing credentials - what are tricks to help me identify valuable information in files? How do I search in SMB?"

These changes do not affect retired boxes, where you are free to ask for other means of exploitation or enumeration in #red-team also by referring to the box, e.g. "Retired box ||ABC|| had me to XYZ do identify the privesc. Could I have done something else or used different tools? What would you recommend?" but please be a dear and "spoiler" hide the name. Much love <3

Please feel free to give me feedback directly in a DM about this change. 😄

Status on #584429971259392033 and #487017571254534145
Some of you have provided feedback about the new changes (thank you for that!) but also asked why it happened. Here's what I usually reply:
We decided to try it out in the attempt to change the focus from "i need help with step x in box y" to a broader discussion and learning opportunity for many people at once.
During the coming days the admins will sit down with select HTB staff members and discuss the feedback. In the meantime please feel very free (nay, I encourage you 😅) to DM me or another <@&583628976736567296> about your thoughts of the change. Do you like it? Do you prefer the old style? Why/why not? We're collecting all your feedback for the evaluation.

minor owl May 4, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

The community has spoken and we have listened!

The new box #boxes is a general want for a channel to ask for hints and help in private (DMs), especially for those who may not yet be at an experience level to be able to properly phrase a generic question about an issue or when stuck. In this channel, feel free to ask for DMs for help with EASY boxes. :D
For MEDIUM, HARD and INSANE boxes, please still try your best to ask your question about a missing skill or angle with a technique in the #red-team channel (to join, read #welcome).

Greetings @everyone :D
I hope you're having a fantastic Friday, so far! Or Saturday, if you're from that part of the globe. 😉
First of all, thanks for all the ping-ree reacts; it warms my heart to know you love my updates! 😄 Secondly I wanted to bring you up-to-speed with some new ... rollbacks? The administration team met with HTB the other night for a general catch-up of the status on the server and whatnot, and based on your much appreciated feedback (<3) we have together decided to implement the following changes:
*** ** #challenges is back! babypenguin
*** ** #boxes have been "opened up" to allow requests for nudges for all types of boxes, however we still highly encourage you to use the #red-team to get a more in-depth discussion and knowledge sharing going, than just a nudge around the rabbit holes.
*** ** A new moderator role <@&708371481448546354> has been introduced.
Please note that there are no publicly visible differences between a "senior moderator" and a "moderator" except for the role itself. The role is primarily intended for internal guidance and second opinions on serious actions such as permanent bans from the server.

Hack The Box officially supports the Parrot OS Project! 🦜 htb

The main goal of the project is to provide a familiar environment to cyber security professionals, developers and people who care about their privacy, by making good habits and best practices easy to follow and eventually hard to break.

Hey @/everyone,

Small update: the HTB-OFFTOPIC section has been moved at the bottom of the server.
Goal is to increase the overall quality of our discussion, and emphasize on hacking techniques and reflexion rather than chichating 🙂

We have observed an increase in low-quality, toxic and as some might put it "trolling" behaviour among our members. In the coming period, starting now, we will respond with a lot bigger hammers than before to keep the server clean. Usually it has been not-bad-enough to try out waters to see how far you can get before getting a slap on your wrist. If you "try out waters" these days chances are you won't be swimming in this pond again.
We support an active and friendly community, and if this cannot be upheld, select people will be escorted out and away.

Hi everyone!

A while ago we had an idea around recognising the contribution the community makes in helping others improve. After a rocky launch and following feedback from the community we've come up with a clearer plan on how to implement it.

The role is now called HTB Community Contributor.

The intent is to show our appreciation for those community members who are always seen as answering questions and being helpful on the server. At this time it is going to specifically focus on channels that everyone can learn from what is posted, and help drive engagement and high quality content on the server. Especially for new members starting their hacking journey.

So by being helpful in channels like #starting-point, #red-team, #blue-team, #binex-rev, #programming and the support channels is the best way to get this.

The role is temporary and rotates, so everyone has the opportunity to get it. With the next selection going to be made at start of November, with choices made based upon activity between now and then.

For all of you who provide loads of help in #boxes and #challenges we are still looking at how we can show the appreciation for all the help you provide and any suggestions on how this can be implemented are welcome!

So thank you @tranquil berry, @sacred fjord, @placid mauve, @primal ice and @rapid steeple it was very hard to only pick 5 as we have so many amazing community members hugthebox

@here Hey all 👋

HUGE HTB Update. 🔥
From now on all outbound connections on port 22 from the target machines back to the user machines are blocked by our internal firewall rules.
This applies to all labs of HTB.

This decision has been made to prevent players from exposing themselves to security risks due to default credential use on their hosts.

So from now on you have to configure your local Machines for ssh tunnelling etc via other port.

Keep it safe and Hack The Box 😎

Dearest Community @here ,

For quite some time we had many requests about our VIP Subscription and how we could make the hacking game in our platform even better.

Back in May we released Pwnbox, a hacking distro customised by HTB completely browser accessible, and one of the most popular feature requests was to add more time 🕐
Also a lot of people, even in VIP, want to take their game to the next level... No resets, no forgotten payloads, no shell interruptions, just them VS the machine. 🔥

So.... WE DID IT 🎉

Hack The Box new subscription: VIP +

☑️ Now you can hack via Pwnbox with NO LIMITS. 24/7, 365.
☑️ Now you can hack in your exclusive PRIVATE instance ANYTHING on demand.

Hope you love it, find it beneficial and take your hacking game to the next level.

Peace, Pwn and Hack The Box 😎 Enjoy!
