Interesting. After some initial trepidation (because hey I don't know what a sophisticated malefactor could do to me through my terminal program!) I connected and started playing. I have to admit it's a little thrilling to connect to a strange ssh server. It is clearly a strange environment - it looks like users are differentiated by password rather than username, which is quite odd. A clever if confusing convention for a game that presumably wants to teach you sk1llz0rs. Based on the instructions, it looks like it's just a normal VPS running somewhere.
I would personally love to know more about how you secure a host for this kind of use! Of course this seems very low stakes so maybe if your ISP notices a problem you just nuke the instance and provision another one? This would explain why they only allow you to write into /tmp which probably isn't even near persistent.
