Earlier SMTP errors have now been fixed! For the past 24 hours or so emails have not been delivered successfully, this has now been rectified.

A new group has been added to the levels section of the site. The new SQLi section will focus on common SQL injection attacks. Currently there are only two levels online but more will be coming soon. SQLi is one of the most common real world attacks. When found a vulnerability of this kind can allow an attacker access to large amounts of personal information as well as leverage to form further attacks. Hopefully these levels will give you an introduction and understanding of how both SQL works and it's pitfalls.

As always if you find yourself stuck on any part of the site head over to the forum where you can find more information and ask your own questions.

So it has been a little while since the CTF event finished, thank you to everyone who took part. A follow up to the event can be found here. The link contains results and stats as well as a look at each level and how they could have been solved. Hopefully another of these events will be hosted soon so keep your eyes peeled.

The first HackThis!! CTF event has now finished. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who took part and anyone who helped make it a huge success. We would like to run these kind of events more often so if you have any ideas, suggestions or just think it is a good idea then let us know.

A follow up post will be online soon reflecting on the event, visualising the data and releasing the final scoreboards. There will also be a series of articles explain each level in detail and how you would go about solving them.

To celebrate HackThis!! passing 100,000 registered members we are running a week long competition, starting now! The competition is a series of levels progress in difficulty. Each level will be timed from the moment you open the level until you complete it. Once completed you can not attempt a level again.

Prizes will be awarded for a variety of different reasons, so just have a go.
