How does it compare to HackTheBox or TryHackMe?

Both are excellent platforms — LearnToExploit's differentiation is the India/GCC focus (RBI / SEBI / CERT-In / SAMA / NCA-aligned lab packs), the SOC-defender view bundled with every red-team writeup, and direct integration with Macksofy's training programs (CEH, CSA, CHFI, vendor-led tracks).

Are the labs aligned to certifications?

Yes. The catalogue carries tags for OSCP, OSCP+, OSWE, OSEP, CRTP, CRTO, CEH, CHFI, CySA+ and more. Search by tag, build a playlist, train against the exam objectives.

Can my company buy team seats?

Yes — corporate plans start at 10 seats and scale to 1,000+. Includes a team admin console, scoreboard, skill-matrix reporting and the option for custom labs aligned to your tech stack. Request a demo from the form below.

Is there a free tier?

Yes — a permanent free tier with a rotating catalogue of starter labs (currently ~40). Pro and Team tiers unlock the full 360+ labs plus monthly seasonal CTFs.

Why LearnToExploit

Built by people who break things for a living.

Every lab on LearnToExploit started as a real misconfiguration the Macksofy team found in a paid engagement. We scrub the client detail, rebuild the conditions in our lab containers, and ship it as a target you can pwn. The walkthroughs include the defender view because half the value of a red-team finding is what the SOC should have caught.

Real targets, not riddles

Every lab is a working application or environment with the same misconfigurations and chained vulnerabilities you'd hit in a paid engagement. No flag-hunting through fake stories.

Walkthroughs after you solve

Stuck? You stay stuck — until you submit the flag. Then the full writeup unlocks (PoC, payload, defender view, patch). Earn the answer; don't peek.

Live scoreboard + ranks

Individual and team scoreboards, monthly seasons, season-end leaderboards. Recognition that hiring managers and SOC leads actually look at.

Browser-based — zero local setup

Every lab spins up a fresh container in under 30 seconds. No VPN, no VMware, no Kali install. Bring a browser. Bring focus.
