The game consists of a series of challenges centered around a unique storyline where participants must reverse engineer, break, hack, decrypt, or do whatever it takes to solve the challenge. The challenges are all set up with the intent of being hacked, making it an excellent, legal way to get hands-on experience.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"s:hack-the-box-free\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hackthebox.eu\/\">Hack The Box &#8211; FREE<\/a><span class=\"anchor\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><a href=\"#s:hack-the-box-free\" aria-label=\"Link to section 'Hack The Box &#8211; FREE'\" tabindex=\"-1\"> Link<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A free online platform to test and advance your skills in penetration testing and cybersecurity, much bigger than picoCTF. Many of it&#8217;s challenges are user-submitted, added a layer of community into the mix. There&#8217;s also more real world scenarios where you will actually have to hack into live machines in order to complete the challenge. Kali Linux is the recommended OS to do this on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"s:ncl-national-cyber-league-35\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nationalcyberleague.org\">NCL (National Cyber League) &#8211; $35<\/a><span class=\"anchor\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><a href=\"#s:ncl-national-cyber-league-35\" aria-label=\"Link to section 'NCL (National Cyber League) &#8211; $35'\" tabindex=\"-1\"> Link<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A paid seasonal competition where you can practice skills we go over at meetings using the gymnasium (throughout the season), practice in the preseason game, compete in the individual game, and compete in the team game.
