Save on your subscription with the Hack The Box Student Discount.
Hack the Box offers a specialized "Student Subscription" for its Academy platform, designed to make professional-grade cybersecurity training accessible to those currently enrolled in academic institutions.
This discount significantly lowers the monthly cost of a "Silver" level subscription, granting students access to a vast library of guided modules, hands-on labs, and certification paths for a fraction of the standard commercial price.
Register on the HTB Academy platform using your academic email address if possible. Connect your account to an automated verification service like Intelligo to confirm your student status. Navigate to the "Billing" or "Subscriptions" section and choose the "Student" option. Complete the checkout process to unlock your discounted monthly credits and module access.
"Protect your devices to avoid costly repairs."
In addition to the subscription, you can "earn" your way through the platform by being active in the community and completing free modules. Hack the Box uses a currency called "Cubes" to unlock specific training content; by successfully finishing the introductory "Tier 0" modules, you can often earn enough free Cubes to unlock higher-level content without spending any money.
Hack the Box occasionally runs referral promotions where inviting new users to the platform can result in rewards for both parties. When a friend signs up using your unique referral link and completes their first purchase or reaches a certain rank, you may receive account credits or temporary VIP access.
