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

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.

Because giving a good reason is usually enough for most people to follow something. Not everything has to be a stick (which you can wield anyway).

Almost any kind of reason actually.

It's a science-backed result that doing so massively improves compliance, it's a trick usually taught in soft skills training (negotiation, etc).

reminds me of high school trying to beat hackthissite.org, OverTheWire, SmashTheStack

simpler times

Used to use OverTheWire as assignments in class, it was a big inspiration for pwn.college

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.

Honestly I've just set up a user CSS sheet that forces left justify. It makes the internet more comfortable, and has practically no downsides / bad interactions, unlike many such overrides.

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

And yet, the highest scores on the scoreboard are 10, which happens to be the score you get by completing the tutorials for using pwn.college.

▲unsnap_biceps 5 hours ago | parent [-]

each module has it's own scoreboard, so yes, the scoreboard for the tutorial module maxes out at the maximum score for the tutorial module.

> the scoreboard for the tutorial module maxes out at the maximum score for the tutorial module

This is not a very hacker-like mindset!

▲unsnap_biceps an hour ago | parent | next [-]

I would claim that if you can set a higher score, my statement would still stand, as you have modified the maximum limit!
