Question for the c/tech crowd:

Are there any good hacking challenge websites still out there?

I know a few went away, a few went corporate, and I only found one to still exist as is. I'm looking for more as I want relearn some skills and get more advanced on other skills.

Help a brother out?

  • HackMyVM. It is based on virtual machines. A very good option in case you don't have a good internet connection. Read their manifesto.
  • Wargames (overthewire.org). They are not based on web challenges, but primarily on tasks to improve your skills in GNU/Linux (the easier challenges) and in reverse engineering or privilege escalation (the more difficult ones).
  • crackmes.one. Reverse engineering challenges.
  • https://ringzer0ctf.com/challenges. A wide variety of challenges, from programming and cryptography to malware analysis, forensics, etc.
  • https://www.wechall.net/challs. Many challenges focused on hypothetical situations. Very fun.
  • Edit: I forgot this one: https://www.hackthissite.org/. A platform developed by anarcho-communist hacker Jeremy Hammond. It has several programming challenges and real-life scenarios.

I don't recommend HackTheBox or these mainstream platforms because they are paid (with very few challenges or free virtual machines). The person who pays is the one who learns. I hate that so much. No one should pay to learn, knowledge is online and libre.

Happy hacking, comrade.

Yeah, that was one of the sites that went corporate. Seems worse than I thought.

Thank you for the info, comrade!

Edit: grammar, added thoughts.
