Hacker challenges overview, need more links

Ok I decided to do an update on the 'hackergames' section (found in the members faq(http://www.antionline.com/showthread...hreadid=235123)) since some of the games have disappeared and there are some new ones.
Now the main point of hacker/war games is to learn.
To be presented with crystal clear answers takes away all of the fun.
Some challenges are simple were others are really hard. Don't give up, it is a learning process.

Now the reason I wrote up on this is that I will have it posted on the site I am working on

(http://www.tp2.be/eastwood).
I really want to know if anybody knows more of these games so that I can make the list complete.
Thanks upfront.

ps: I only included links that are up at the moment of writing.
ps2: I am in no way affiliated with any of the sites mentioned and take no responsibility for the content on these sites.
ps3: I am only looking for links to hacker/wargames in the English language and I am desperatly

seeking more offline hackergames. Only valid links please

==========================================

holy cow dude nice list...that'll keep me busy for days...nice. Google help ya out with that?

Well I got most from the member faq which is listed in the post but some seemed to be outdated. That made me decide to do it in the first place.
Then google helped me out big time untill I found www.hackergames.net which also lists most of these challenges.
I want to set up a rating system for them on my little hideout but I want the list to be complete. Heh I love these games.
And like I said I would really like some more of the offline games, prefferably with a little description.

Thanks

yeh AO should have a whole seperate page outside of the forum just for these kind of games. Have a lil description and a rating system...then have a lil forum for each game incase someone needs help or if they're suspected honeypots.

I really like the idea of a rating system.....would be nice.

I reccomend u guys don't try out this site:
http://stick-slaughter.com/hackme/

If you get the username wrong then it redirects you to a pornographic site full of naked men called hotmen.com or something like that.

This is very nice... I completely agree with a rating system which can help gauge the success factor of these sites.. I would be cautious of the forums though due to the fact that they can dilute the purpose of the challenges and upset the webmaster pretty quick..

Well if u dont want it to be spoiled for u then dont visit the forum. I know if i get stuck after 2 weeks and everything i try is a dead end then i might want a lil hint...definitly not the answer but a shove in the right direction. Plus...i dont wanna try and hack a gov. honey pot or the feds or a corporation site. Heads up r pretty nice.

We are currently working on the rating system.
It is hosted by the_JinX (thanks dude) but we still need to get some things straight.
There will be a forum on the site where you can discuss the challenges but most hacker challenge sites explicitly tell you not to give away answers and stuff.

The main purpose of these sites is to learn and by cheating you will not learn things.
However, when the testing is done I will post the link in this thread.

k...but they're should be a rating part...then a help/hint part and then a warning if someone suspects it to be a honeypot. Whether if someones personal opinion is cheatin or a hint...there should be a help part...or else the forum would be nothing but a rating and honeypot warning. Plus...half the people will need some sort of help.

Well like I said we are working on getting the rating system up and going.
But one thing got me a bit puzzled.

What do you mean exactly by this.
If (for example) hackerslab dot org was a honeypot woudl it even matter ? They set up the server for you to play with, I think they are allowed to learn from the actions you take.
Most of these sites state clearly that it is a 'hacker challenge / wargame", even if they tried to sue you they would not make a good case in court in my opinion.

There have been reports of some hacker challenge sites spreading virusses, wheter trough active scripting or through the use of .exe's'. You should have active scripting disabled (or set to prompt) anyway if you want to maintain a good security policy and if you dont trust an .exe then dont run it in a working environment (vmware can be helpfull there).

I hope that clears things up a bit.
If you meant something different please explain it to me.

Thanks

I see Deftones point and can understand the need for the help part..

http://crypto-net.com/T-Crypt/ is the new link to Tcrypt...http://tacheon.cpc-net.org/T-Crypt/ is no longer valid although http://surfsafe.cpc-net.org/ has some good **** go to articles and check out tutorials there...
