Your proposed change to 4. is a statement that no one could ever honestly make.

In the event that anyone happens to be interested in knowing more about the conflict between SEA and PKWARE, here's a pretty solid collection of notes and BBS postings.

> I eventually realized that for perishable goods, they put the new stuff in the back of the shelves, so now I just head for the back of the shelf when I need to buy perishables there. This sucks for me, since buying at TJs used to be a stress-free experience, and now I check the 'use-by' dates on everything.

I just wanted to mention that this is a standard practice called rotation. After all, putting new product in front would result in wastage of the older product. Products are supposed to be culled on their sell-by (not expiration) date, and it's unfortunate that you got some bad groceries, but they didn't do anything unusual or shady.

Similarly, Safeway's practices are fairly standard amongst grocery stores, though it's a little annoying. Best to follow the sale circulars and keep your wits about you.

Glad you signed up! :) The contest is going to run for 4 hours, and there are 4 challenges. The first two should take about an hour total, with the remaining 3 hours split over the remaining harder two challenges.

hey hyperplane, that's an excellent point. I'll see about clarifying the contest description.

To answer your question directly though, it's a bit of a mix of mostly introductory concepts with the goal of introducing crypto and breaking/defensive programming to people who might not get much exposure to it. The first challenges are simple crypto-based challenges to get participants into the right frame of mind, and they culminate with exploiting a hash length extension vulnerability. Hopefully, we'd like to introduce more challenges like this in the future.

Hey xianshou, I've been trying to figure out how to privately message you guys about this, but your info@hackermeter.com email doesn't seem to be working. Your online code editor is leaking environment variables pretty severely; stuff like API keys.

Unless I'm mistaken. the installer and updater for Warcraft 3 as well as Starcraft and Diablo 2 are Rosetta apps, even though the games themselves are universal. Since 10.7 removed Rosetta you can't install the games or update them any longer, though if you have a preinstalled copy you can continue to play.
