About Us

HTB Industries was first established in 2001. We were a primary support privider for B2Netsolutions. The focus was security on all aspects of FreeBSD & Linux servers. Shell accounts and IRCD hosting were our main services, so naturally system security was our primary concern. Over time, we moved into hosting services, such as streaming radio, email, and websites.

In 2002 HTB Wargames were launched. The Wargames were similar to Hackers Lab and Pull the Plug. The idea was to introduce UNIX/Linux security to a new generation of computer enthusiasts by providing 'levels' of security holes. The Wargames were live for a year, till TOS violations brought them to a halt. If you're interested in the code for each level, you can access it (free of charge) here.

HTB has shifted our focus to open source consulting. Our goal is to provide clients who are interested in, or already have adopted, an open source solution with the resources and knowledge to properly implement them. This is where our 4 years of experience in the industry give us a clear advantage over the competition.

We still offer hosting of all types. From system monitoring, network and device metrics, VOIP, offsite backup solutions (proprietary code), and intrusion detection via our proprietary log analyser code.
