HackThisSite.org is a fun site if you like hacking. It is a free, safe, and legal training ground for hackers to test and expand their hacking skills.

I vaguely remember some of the challenges from a site I visited a few years ago. It could have been HackThisSite but I can’t be certain. Anyway, I’m working my way through the challenges at the moment. I have completed most of the easy missions without much difficulty but there is a lot for me to learn before I can tackle some of the more advanced challenges. I enjoy the wide range of topics covered by the challenges, which includes web security, application security, programming, Javascript, and stegonography.

HackThisSite can be quite addictive. Once I get started on a mission, it’s hard to stop. That’s partly the reason why I haven’t been blogging much recently. All the late nights have also taken its toll as I almost missed work this morning. By the time I woke up, I should have already been at my desk, sipping hot chocolate like I usually do. Luckily, my manager was away today.
