Game of Hacks

[gray]

I read an interesting article about a game that was launched at Black Hat that tests your code security knowledge. Here is the article link:

About Game of Hacks:

The game, which is available for desktop, tablet and mobile, presents the developer with vulnerable pieces of code and challenges them to identify the application layer vulnerability as quickly as possible and even has a 2-player mode allowing developers to battle head-to-head.

The game consists of questions asking users to identify vulnerabilities including: SQL injection, XSS, Log Forgery, Path traversal, Parameter Tampering, and many others in different programming languages including: C#, Groovy, Java, Java Script, ASP, C++, PHP and Ruby.

Additionally, developers can add their own questions and vulnerable code to the game, in any programming language highlighting any vulnerabilities, meaning that the game’s scope grows as more users join.

You can try it here:

Wow, can't believe no ones replied to this yet. It's a pretty nifty little game for helping train your mind to identify vulnerabilites (ofc you still have to exploit it if its in the wild) and sometimes, just finding the vulnerability is the hardest part. Thanks for the share gray
