Greetings SC-Lers,FYI, I just learned of an educational web site called "Hack This" (http://www.hackthis.co.uk/ ) that sounds interesting to me. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure I will soon. From their description, it sounds a bit like an on-line version of OWASP's WebGoat -- which is IMHO one of the most powerful learning tools I've ever encountered. Hack This describes themselves as follows:
"Hackthis, an innovative, educational and entertaining new website where you can learn the tricks and tips of website security. This well designed and well executed concept has proven to be a huge success and will only advance further. Attracting audiences to promote the importance of keeping your website secure, Hackthis is educating the internet for a more safer and secure tomorrow. Whilst education is commonly considered boring, Hackthis teaches you by putting you in the place of the hacker, exploiting websites to gain access to information required to advance to the next level. If that's not enough Hackthis also includes a great, friendly support and community forum where you can get help with problems, meet new people and help others with their problems.
We highly recommend this site for website developers to ensure your site is safe and secure. Also, if you're bored, hacking is a great way to pass the time!
Remember, Hackthis is completely legal and 100% awesome!" Has anyone here tried it out? Any opinions, good bad or otherwise? Cheers, Ken ----- Kenneth R. van Wyk KRvW Associates, LLC http://www.KRvW.com
