The code evaluation runs in a standalone server. I hope to learn what to block over time against a series of successful exploits. Evaluations that failed to compile/run/return-an-expected-result are marked on another server (on which they are not evaluated in any way) so I can study them later.
- jasonkester 16y agoYeah, like I say, Hats off to you for even trying. Sounds like it will be a fun site to run, since I bet you'll be battling against would-be hackers full time from here on out.

- jasonkester 16y agoNo sarcasm intended. (wish there was an HTML tag for <nosarc>). Fun as in intellectually challenging with a constant stream of new baddies to battle.
