Title: Real Cracking Challenge....
Post by: Kamikaze on June 15, 2003, 11:11:43 pm

http://www.hackerslab.org/

A while ago there was some cheap cracking exercise where most cracking involved looking at small bits of html source code and figuring a bit out. (some harder stuff at the higher levels) It was pretty fun and hard but wasn't really educational.

Hackerslab is some actual cracking (cracking a *nix server) practice and is hella hard, I'm still on level 0 :p

so has anybody here tried it? Beaten it?

Seems more tedious than difficult.

And the HINT's kinda defeat the point.

Try2Hack was easy, i got to level 6 within half an hour, but i got stuck on that... it was a (C++? VB? i can't remember which) program that you type in a username and password, and then you click "send", and it communiates with some server and says "password incorrect" or "password correct"... that just killed me.

That one sounds like it involves equipment. IP sniffer and password cracker at least.
