Hi there,
I started the pen-testing challenge and gathered awesome 90 pts.
Now my idea would it be to enhance the details in "my profile" from "accumulated x pts" to "found: [removed by system]"
Or better insert a private pen-testing details page, where a user can review which exploits he/she found.
In this way people can easier talk about special parts, have a better overview on which topics are exhausted, which should make it easier to find a new direction for further pen testing and exploits found by accident get categorized, which makes it easier to review and overthink why and how they work, as well as the vocabulary extends.
As the idea of learning is the background for this challenges I'd think this would improve this challenge.
I'd also suggest to add such informations to all challenges, but the expenditure would be enorm, I assume.
Looking forward to your opinions.
The FIDO

People aren't meant to know what exploits are in there! That's the whole idea of it!!!

Anyways, it looks as if you can tell what exploits people found by the point totals they have. IIRC, the point totals are VASTLY different for each exploit.
I still check PMs from time to time.

10 points seems reasonable for throwing some random shit in a random place that one should have been 1 point =P |

The point counts seem to be in the order of which you are most likely to find. If one is more obscure / unlikely than others on the list, then you'll get more points for it. Simple.
I still check PMs from time to time.
