Not sure if the devs are here, but please don't justify your text! It makes the lines all have huge spaces in the middle. It's much harder to read as a result.
Honestly I've just set up a user CSS sheet that forces left justify. It makes the internet more comfortable, and has practically no downsides / bad interactions, unlike many such overrides.
rivers, contextual word splits, compound noun splits, awkward pauses, there is so many downsides to mindless text justification. Only editorialised and hand crafted justified text is nice. Everything else ends up forceful and ugly.
Why so deferential about posting write-ups? I'd just have a rule that says don't post write-ups and posting a write-up will get you banned from future editions or something.
“ You have entered the pwn.college DOJO, an education platform for learners to develop and practice core cybersecurity skills in a hands-on fashion. Entering, you receive your "white belt" , signifying the beginning of your hacker life.”
It's maybe should be called something else if this is the case, but don't they show the latest "high scores" or complete finishes of the latest users to complete the module? Might not be high score or at least overall, but do remember noticing that yet seeing my username when I went through this a little while back so felt like more of a misnomer rather than an oversight.

Don't listen to this. Justified text is much much easier to read.

Because giving a good reason is usually enough for most people to follow something. Not everything has to be a stick (which you can wield anyway).
Almost any kind of reason actually.
It's a science-backed result that doing so massively improves compliance, it's a trick usually taught in soft skills training (negotiation, etc).

I first read this in Robert Cialdini's "Influence: Science and Practice" which is both entertaining and interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influence:_Science_and_Practic...
reminds me of high school trying to beat hackthissite.org, OverTheWire, SmashTheStack
simpler times
Used to use OverTheWire as assignments in class, it was a big inspiration for pwn.college
We had this as a part of our reverse engineering and exploitation minor, amazing experience.
It looks very comprehensive, and I love the fact that they will actually send you a belt if you do all the levels.
Very cool project, reminds me of days playing with owasp webgoat
Hugged to death.
The site is still up try a deeper link https://pwn.college/welcome/welcome/
yes, I know it for years, play with it when I have time. really cool.
this and telehack.com is nice entertainment
Cool idea.

And yet, the highest scores on the scoreboard are 10, which happens to be the score you get by completing the tutorials for using pwn.college.

each module has it's own scoreboard, so yes, the scoreboard for the tutorial module maxes out at the maximum score for the tutorial module.
> the scoreboard for the tutorial module maxes out at the maximum score for the tutorial module
This is not a very hacker-like mindset!
I would claim that if you can set a higher score, my statement would still stand, as you have modified the maximum limit!
