hmmm going to get killed for this but...

hey what do u all think of having challenges on antionline?
like the ones at cyberarmy.com
area-6.net and that stupid try2hack one lol just thought if jp would alow it we could come to some soughta ranking system etc ao points or somthing for finishing a level i know that JP was frowning on wargames cuase it makes the servers vunrabule but challenges correctly coded shouldt cause 2 much of a problem ohh well please post your opinion i mean the more people we get agring the more likely it is to happen well
thanks for listning to my ramblinings

I would like that Alot! Unfortunatly JP and the gang doesnt seem to be to keen on the idea of the Anti hackers anttepting to breatk into his systems. I suggested this a while back....only negative response....so i let it die.

Dr Toker yeah dr toker thats why i put the title as it is ive heard jp go on about them before but if we did the chalenges then after each challenge their is a debrief and how to fix the exploit that u used? make sense does to me hehe just an idea as i said lol
thanks

I think that would be a good thing, and I would like to see more places where a person can practice with out:

A) Getting arrested
B) Spending way to much money

But this is JPs site, so its up to him...

Challanges are cool, and a great way for Newbies to learn and Exsperiment, and also to do some researtch of theyr own.
How ever, people might try to brutforce the challanges, and that would b really anoying coz every thing would lag (As if my Casema cable isn't slow enough?!).

It's your server JP, but it would b cool........

Well I just thought I'd add my .02 to this, why not go get a cheap box, you can get an old p2 for under $100 nowadays, install you OS of choice, a few $10 nics and a $20 hub and you can hack away at it till your hearts content.

Thats a load of crap you work for the government and you want to see people not get arrested.. <---lol Gotta love our government :)

As far as your idea I like it alot I would love to h#$@ a lot of these members who think they are the shizzz nittt when all they have is Linux 7.2 and a cisco firewall hahahahaha get hacked for tyring mr.dos remember that!

I don't want to start a flame war, so I will be brief, and I want you to understand me, so I will use small words...

True I work for the gov't, but I am not an "Agent" as you say...I don't want to see anyone arrested, nor do I have the power/authority/interst in doing so...

This is besides the fact that on JP could instigate an investigation for hacking his site...and if he wants to let people practice here I doubt he would do so....

I think the challenge thing is a good idea. It would bring the tutorials section to another level......maybe an interavtive hacking tutorial. I think it would be good to be able to see how it is done from the inside so that we can better understand our systems and vulnerabilities. ;)

I agree, but a little knoledge can cause big problems in the wrong hands. Maybe only ppl who are 1337 and experianced should be involved. I don't know, but I think that if you teach someone how to shoot a gun, they might shoot thier out foot off.

you all raise some intersting points but as lkennedy.guru says in the wrong hands well we would only teach them stuff that they should know just give them practice or somthing that they should know and go of and do it what mr.dos post has to do with nething i dont know but man just leave your causing way to many problems on here
but as Noia says its still ultimatly up to jp

hmmm this is a great idea.. atleast we can go practice or somefin..

I swear to God, I was thinking the same thing this morning.

But we don't necessarily have to have just hacking challenges. There could be programming stuff and other random things. The Avatar Competition worked out pretty well, didn't it?

yeah have ne of you done cyberarmy? their not to badd but cyberarmy annoys but challenges have taught me alot and datfort ones although their extremly hard well 2 me neway are good but i dont think jp wanted a warbox for security reasons
JP please think about web based challenges long and hard hehe
thanks

No! Please, dear god no! "Hacking challenges" draw script kiddies like flies to dung, regardless of their quality or the actual phrasing of the term.

i think of this as something that would bring experience. it could teach, as well as let jp know of any flaws or weaknesses in his system. IF any knowledge gets into the wrong hands, yes, many bad things are possible. still, there is the risk of skript kiddies coming in an messing things up. a few bad ppl can screw things up for the rest of us. sux, huh? ne ways, what is this cyberarmy?

"and I want you to understand me, so I will use small words" <----------- That's one example of how to insult

someone without using curse words. jcmcb, nicely done.
