I've always been a fan of war games, here are links to a few of my favorite sites:
http://www.overthewire.org/wargames/
http://smashthestack.org/
There's also the "hack this site" style games that are more web security oriented:
http://www.hackthissite.org/
http://www.hackertest.net/
Does anyone else enjoy trying to figure these things out?

Re: Realistic Hacking Wargames
Hackertest.net took me about two hours to get to level 20 (and small doses of google cheating), but it was really fun! I had a look at smashthestack, but it seems way over my programming capacities. I'm definitely checking the others out.

I used to spend some time on hackthissite back in the days when I was just getting into networking and webdev. Good times. But definitely not one of the things I really enjoy. Although it did make me realize how nifty javascript is.

Try working your way through WebGoat https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Categor ... at_Project You actually get to do SQL injection and modify GET/POST requests, bypass javascript client-side input verification etc.
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.
