Huge kudos for the design of the site - it definitely gives off a Tron-like feel. I can't imagine the attention to detail to what amounts to just a game.
Game, marketing exercise, recruitment tool.
I can't wait until the very last challenge just says: "SURPRISE, you typed in your password when you started this event, which is the most common way that someone's password will get stolen."
Level 3 timing out :(
This is suprisingly fun. At first, you feel like a badass, reading the documentation for every function call, googling for exotic bugs. Then you feel like a total idiot when you notice how simple it actually is. Finally, you laugh at people in the IRC because you know exactly how stupid they feel.
My favorite part is watching the captures in real time at https://stripe-ctf.com/leaderboard .
As I (and my now partner Eevee) race towards the level 8 finish line, I don't feel quite the same. I see us making limited progress and see the number of people finishing level 7 rising, haha. This is fun, though.
I just made it to level 8 this morning and haven't a clue where to really begin with it.
It's definitely a lot of fun and has been an interesting journey for sure. Love little games like this.

Good luck guys. I just made it to level 8 this morning and haven't a clue where to really begin with it. It's definitely a lot of fun and has been an interesting journey for sure. Love little games like this.

Yeah... I can't believe I spent time looking for something wrong with the HMAC used for session cookies. Also, I'm pretty sure I solved #5 the "wrong" way since it didn't actually involve the hint they gave.
Don't know if I'll have time (or the skills) to finish Level 8 (it looks pretty intense), but the other levels were a lot of fun. This was done really well - thanks for doing it!

I'm totally stuck on Level 7 after getting some waffles and have no time to continue though, oh well.
