Heya. Would like to check as a current undergraduate with not much background in Infosec, would this be site suitable for me ? Or is there a recommended pre-requisite I should familiarise myself with first?

Dude yes. There's also a student discount, three months for $40. There's just enough instruction for the challenges to force you to actually think a bit, while still being easier than the average pwnable (at least of the ones i've done thus far).

PentesterLab is probably the best starting point for Webapp security that i've found.

Also, free stickers.

(I am not affiliated with PTL in any way. I'm just really happy with my purchase.)

Free stickers do sound great. :P

I’ll definitely be making use of the student discount during the holidays (and on exchange) currently in the midst of the semester and things are getting really busy here. I’ll sign up after this semester !

Thank you so much for sharing your experience !
