Hello everyone.
RootedCON is one of the major hacking events in the world. It takes place in Spain every year, and now and then they open a challenge, for 3 days: RootedCON Arena.

This year, most of the challenges involve analysis of files, sometimes steganography and a lot, a lot of reading. If you want to do it right, you’ll probably have to code (Python recommended, but you can complete some of the challenges without coding, maybe).
Want to join? Ok, here’s the link: https://arena.rootedcon.es
NOTE: You’ll get a certificate warning. The CA is available at https://rootedcon.es :)

Notice you can join in teams (as big or as small as you want).
Hurry up, it’s only from the 21st to the 23rd of February! The fun has just started!!!

Haha yes, it’s just one more option for the challenge seeker.
If anyone joins, just let me know what your thoughts were (after it finishes)

I’ll have to take a look into this later. You should take a look at Defcon. It takes place in Las Vegas, US once a year and is pretty freaking weird. It’s a hacking convention as well.

I know Defcon!!!
If you like Defcon, maybe you will like InfiltrateCon. As a security researcher you can learn a lot about attackers (therefore being able to apply a proactive security model).
I heard they have many spooks there ;) haha!

How many cons are there? Maybe we can all just indulge ourselves in breaching security year round. lol

I don’t really know. XD
Ah man I’m too busy failing my exams, if that weren’t the case I’d be there!!!

(EDIT: typo)

EDIT 2: I found them. Looking at the link @flabbyrabbit shared, (http://www.securitytube.net/), on the menu bar, “Hackercon videos”, there you have a list.

Haha, that was a rhetorical question. But, thank you for the link anyways! And yeah hack them grades… jkjk I’ve done that before and eventually got caught. My Spanish teacher was luckily cool enough and let my friend and I settle for a C or D so we wouldn’t fail his class. Weren’t allowed to touch his computer or bring our laptops for the rest of the year.

Fortunately in my university they’ve had that kind of events too, but they used it to learn and patch the system. But I want to learn, not only to pass, so it’s a bit more complicated haha.

I’ll put it in a list, because lists are nice and I like them.

[]Hi.
[
]Don’t be rude.
[]You can edit your posts and that way you don’t have to post 4 times in a row! :)
[
]There is someone, but this is not a chat, it’s a forum (it takes more time). However you can go on IRC! :)
[*]Maybe we can provide you, yes, you can try and ask.
[float=left]5.1. If your request is “hack Facebook” or in general “hack [website]”, then the answer is no. :)[/float]
[/list]

EDIT. As @kamzhik pointed out, some random user just removed his comments and now mine seems stupid.
But I guess that’s what my signature is for…

Anyway RootedArena is over, so I’m closing this thread. If you want more info, you can PM me and I’ll re-open it if needed.

These deleted comments make you look really stupid. It would be nice if this feature was removed tho.

I don’t think that the post deletion for the user who posts it should be removed as it takes away the right of the user to see what he or she has posted and maybe changes their mind about the posting or the subject, or maybe they want to change their opinion. They have the right to correct a mistake they made or a change of heart. No, the deletion and edit option should stay but that’s only my opinion. Have a wonderful day all, Bye!!! :) :) :)

ANONRA, yeah i kinda thought of that but at least we could somehow show that there’s a “deleted post” here rather than just simply vanish without trace.

Might be interesting but this is not the right place to discuss it. :)
Closing, sorry but I forgot before. XD
