I was doing this on the side for fun and learned a lot.

I believe the professors that helped originate this idea were a group of hacker PhD students from UC Santa Barbara that moved over to Arizona State. Adam Doupe was my professor his first year and an absolutely stellar academic and teacher.

Not sure if the devs are here, but please don't justify your text! It makes the lines all have huge spaces in the middle. It's much harder to read as a result.

Why so deferential about posting write-ups? I'd just have a rule that says don't post write-ups and posting a write-up will get you banned from future editions or something.

We had this as a part of our reverse engineering and exploitation minor, amazing experience.

It looks very comprehensive, and I love the fact that they will actually send you a belt if you do all the levels.

Cool idea.

Neat concept, but utterly disgusting that Discord is still used as a social platform. Matrix is much less odious.
