Another context where you can take part in sandboxed, organised hacking contests -- sort of -- is some ARGs (alternate reality games). I've not seen anything recent that involved true hacking skills, but sometimes there can be some wonderfully fun puzzles (you know, beyond guessing that a fictional character's password is the name of their fictional pet). Laying the trail for these is also fascinating work.
- bawr 17y agoThe old Dark Signs were a lot like that - you "hacked" into computers by, say, finding bugs in the scripts they ran. It was really fun. You can still find the game by searching through http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://darksigns.com http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://darksigns.com - amazingly enough, the files are still present on the present-day site, they're just not linked anymore.
