Accelerate your cybersecurity learning with a new “Guided Mode” feature.

To support those looking to speed up their mastery of essential cybersecurity concepts, we have introduced a new way for you to practice: our new Guided Mode feature provides further direction to solve Machines in the form of a set of questions pointing to the correct root flag path.

Guided Mode can be found under the Play Machine section. Here you will be asked to select between:

• Adventure Mode—the classic HTB way of learning and solving labs. You will be provided with an IP address, and after that, how to get your flag is your business!
• Guided Mode—our new premium feature. A set of questions acting as guide paths will show you the intended way for each Machine, coaching you to the root flag.

Especially for beginners, Guided Mode offers a smooth transition from beginner-friendly Starting Point labs to more advanced scenarios, where they combine techniques, tools, and attacks.

Guided Mode is a premium feature available to all VIP and VIP+ subscribers. Users on a free plan can enable Guided Mode on Free Retired Machines.
