Elysian Shadows

I've always been a fan of war games, here are links to a few of my favorite sites:

http://www.overthewire.org/wargames/
http://smashthestack.org/

There's also the "hack this site" style games that are more web security oriented:
http://www.hackthissite.org/
http://www.hackertest.net/

Does anyone else enjoy trying to figure these things out?

Hackertest.net took me about two hours to get to level 20 (and small doses of google cheating), but it was really fun! I had a look at smashthestack, but it seems way over my programming capacities. I'm definitely checking the others out.

I used to spend some time on hackthissite back in the days when I was just getting into networking and webdev. Good times. But definitely not one of the things I really enjoy. Although it did make me realize how nifty javascript is.

Try working your way through WebGoat https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Categor ... at_Project You actually get to do SQL injection and modify GET/POST requests, bypass javascript client-side input verification etc.
