I am not completely sure but I think the points shown in the hackthebox ranking (227) are correct, while the points shown on your profile page (261) are incorrect. 227 points is also the same amount of points shown on your points breakdown (Login :: Hack The Box :: Penetration Testing Labs); I have checked those calculations and they seem correct to me (but maybe I’ve missed something).
How the amount of points on your profile page are calculated, I don’t know… For me there is also a discrepancy between the points shown on my profile and in the ranking, but I thought I could explain it, as the calculations checked out if I took the points of retired challenges into account while calculating the amount of points shown on my profile page.
But for you this is not the case, I see…
What is sure, is that there is something wrong going on with the calculation of the points. Hopefully hackthebox will fix this, as it is quite confusing…
