December Hacking Events

  • SpinRite Release Candidate #5 Posted
    Guest:
    Another heads-up for anyone who's interested in remaining current with SpinRite as it moves from pre-release to final v6.1. The DOS executable "SRPR.EXE" now being offered by GRC's pre-release page has been updated to Pre-Release #5. Only one error was found in RC4: When the log exceeded more than 113,359 lines, the oldest lines were not being discarded from the on-screen "scroll-back" buffer. That's fixed in RC5. Otherwise, so far as anyone knows, SpinRite 6.1 is finally ready for the world. This interim FAQ page has pre-release downloading details.

Rather than programing challenges with Advent of Code, I thought I'd list a few different (FREE) hacking events. Challenges range from very easy to (very?) hard. Some of the stories and can be cringeworthy, but the challenges are good. Have fun if you decide to try any or all of these events! :cool:
