Real Cracking Challenge....

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?
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

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.
Webpage. Yes.
