#12The apparent trouble with signup notwithstanding, this seems like great fun. The thing is, I didn't find out about those problems, because I didn't even try to sign up. I have no idea how I would go about getting started being able to do this. Can anybody suggest resources for lowly web developers to make our way into security? Even if just for fun?
I've been reading though Hacking: The Art of Exploitation. So far I'm enjoying it.

#14Love it. But very janky website makes me worried about the quality.
Yeah, the site seems to leak memory like a sieve. I had to kill -9 firefox.

#16Interestingly, they're using the same technique for the cloud effect as that Japanese energy drink site that was posted here not too long ago.

Thank you. I had not heard of that before and it looks very helpful.

Hopefully they'll at least link to good configuration sites for each service, to give new players at least a fighting chance.
I wonder how long it would take someone to spin up a script to install all of these services...
SMTP, POP, IMAP, FTP, etc., one CMS + specific plugins, 2 different internet browsers, 3 web applications & at least 2 different databases
So...a mail server, file servers, multi-webhost, databases, and CMS with many plugins. I assume that "different databases" means different database stacks on different clusters, not "both MySQL and SQL Server 2012" on the same server, right? (In Windowsville this would all be within an AD domain, I'm not sure what the Linux equivalent is.) Will there be a required volume of photo/social datamass to be stored on the server? Maybe instead of some kind of "flag file", we'll have to store embarrassing photos of ourselves?
Who installs a second browser on a server?
