HACK THE BOX Certification

I’m just gonna order stickers of my badge and put it on my resume…

Haha, no for real though I can see this being a thing. The issue (as with the OSCP now) is validation of you being the one that passed the test or requirements or whatever it ends up being.

I got my OSCP back in Jan and it was right before they started pushing the pilot for the video proctoring of the test. It was becoming too apparent that people were cheating the test apparently and now they need to enforce some sort of validation.

I will say on the other hand, if you were to tell me you even had an account here when in an interview my ears would perk up immediately. It shows you really care just about the learning and the challenge. The OSCP is starting to almost become required and its check the box (a great one, don’t get me wrong on that) but HTB on the other hand is just a sign that you take the time to keep getting better, you want to learn and hone your skills. And that is really what matters.

So actually, ■■■■ yeah… Throw your badge on your resume F* it.
