When you beat the advanced levels, and are looking for a real challenge, give http://escape.alf.nu a try. I didn't make it but it's the most difficult but still educational hacking challenge I've seen. Also, since it validates answers server-side these days, it isn't, itself, hackable.

After you answer a question, there should be an explanation of the right answer. I was able to guess through some that I had no idea what they actually were, and an explanation of why I did/didn't get it right will help a lot and actually help me identify vulnerable code.

Yes! This is the first idea that occurred to me, show me why after each answer.
