Re: hacking challenges

[Tyler Durden <fadingreality414 () yahoo com>]

It really depends on the web hacking challenge. Some
of them are very amerature, or just have no relevance
in real life attacks. I don't think they should be
required, but they are good practice.

I'd recommend: www.hackthissite.org
               www.hackerslab.org
               www.hdcwargame.com
