yes yes, i am only afraid that there are only 3 rooting challenges, because i like rooting. i think that admins of HBH received in last month at least 1 challenge. but they disapproved it, probably it was crap, or something else. i agree with this. better 3 good challenges than 10 bad. but i think there are lots of able peoples with ability of programming and with knowledge of rooting. by the way, HBH have more than 15k users, and there are really active less than... 700? i cant say exact number.

Almost no one on HBH knows how to root, I don't know how to do it either.

lol here we go then:
intruded has a load of different wargames: ciphering and encryption ones, web hacking ones, enumerating ones, and rooting ones with two different architectures, all varying in difficulty, with the difficulty rating displayed next to the wargame link.. the first one(cant remember the name) is hbh difficulty level rooting, using basic linux command knowledge. it moves from there to available source code BoF, then to rev. engineering BoF and format string, and thats as far as i got ^^
the web based ones are ok, but why go to a wargaming site for that

Ah okay. I thought you meant you participated in a competition . Still thanks for the info though, I will check it out!

Yeah, I've done that on RTB too. It's fun but still it doesn't feel like I can root, if you get what I mean. You basically skip the getting pass & connecting part, which is the hard part (for me).

when you say root a box, do you mean you want a challenge where you actually have to find vulnerable ports, bypass the firewall, bypass the IDS, and input exploitable code, or just gain admin access for further processing?
or are you looking for more of how to install a rootkit on the server?

well the trick to getting access is either getting in through web hacking, googling for a service exploit, or if its open source auditing the source code and writing a BoF/format string for it

Find a box, scan for services. Exploit a service so you can "tap" into the box. Then exploit the OS (by exploiting code) so you can exec commands on root level.
-Fin
Or do I miss something?

Well, I don't interpret it as completely bullshit, you've seen that there are just three root challenges, the way I see it, root 1 and 2 (especially 2), are just little "prototypes" for rooting, maybe rooting 3 didn't "develop" the elder, but, if you're talkin about that those challenges are "over-idiotish", you'd be right.
And yes, logical challenges too, are very very (again very) basic), but if so...?
The field is opened, for you, for others - to code more challenges.
I defend people who made the first challenges; You won't start your hacking site with the hardest rooting challenge as level one!
Or what do you think?

its still a bit of an offence to the name rooting, i meant bullshit challs in the way that youll never root a server using those techniques, but the ideas do give you some kind of mild background... sort of... maybe?
