Hack The Box is an online platform allowing you to test your penetration testing skills and exchange ideas and methodologies with other members of similar interests. It contains several challenges that are constantly updated. Some of them simulating real world scenarios and some of them leaning more towards a CTF style of challenge.

As an individual, you can complete a simple challenge to prove your skills and then create an account, allowing you to connect to our private network (HTB Net) where several machines await for you to hack them. By hacking machines you get points that help you advance in the rankings.

How the scoring works here? E.g. I completed some tier 0 (first one) and I tried to update the data via button manually, but score didn't changed. Thanks Smile

Updating the score seems to be broken, I'm getting a "not found" error

I think that only Machines and Challenges score. Fortress, Pro Labs, Sherlock and starting point don't score on WeChall.
But the synchronisation with Hack The Box is no more working since this summer Sad

It seems they have removed the WeChall API endpoint completely. Don't know if intentionally or not.

Hope Gizmore can provide us some updates, to see if this site's worth playing or not.

Shame it's not linked any more, was about to (finally) give it a try. Mark as inactive?

hmm. sure. at now, the HTB bot chall says. '''Short answer: there isn’t a way to link an HTB account with a WeChall account.
The HTB Account only supports linking specific HTB platforms, such as:
HTB Labs
HTB Academy
HTB CTF
HTB Enterprise
LetsDefend
These are the only accounts that can be officially connected from the HTB Account dashboard.
So if you’re seeing profiles that appear “linked” to WeChall, it’s most likely just a manual reference (for example, showing their WeChall username on their profile), not an official account connection.'''
i think..
It probably needs fixing. Or is there a way to link it recently, or perhaps a workaround? I see some people(id:tenflo) with HTB linked to their accounts. wow. hey tenflo. can i DM to u? Did they do it a long time ago? Or was it hacked? Or is there a workaround?

As I wrote here, it is no more functional since summer 2025.
I tried to ask why to Hack The Box through different canal (Discord, mail, contact form), they never answer to me.

Maybe the real answer is less technical and more strategic Sad
