I was hoping the challenges would include machine learning. There is so much exciting overlap between ML and security. From detecting intrusion attempts to scraping and processing pastebins. I think it is amazing what you guys did here: you got more points on a give me your e-mail, we are building something post, than Stripe got when announcing their company. Really speaks volume on Patio's writing. Will there also be marketing challenges? Like: Every day patio11 clicks on one email. Your task is to write an engaging headline. Or: Here is some Google Analytics code. Make it show 50.000 visits any way you can. Very hard to cheat. (But so is getting Google security to file a bug report). I really enjoyed the comments. Especially the ipod-hasnt-got-wifi criticism. You guys must know that what you are doing is terrible and you should feel bad. Who knew decoding morse in some wave extracted from a corrupted image file in Cicada 3301 could also lead to a job. Will there be an ARG element to the CTF's? Like you pose as an agent from the NSA or something?
