Matt,
Sorry, I am the one who started it :-) If it helps any, I did about the
same thing. Not that I got to level 15 I've given up because it's no
longer testing "_javascript_" like it said it was to begin with (not to
mention the decompiling of the java class) and since I don't claim to be
an expert hacker of Linux systems, I don't feel like I'm admitting
defeat by giving up on something I don't claim to be very good at :-)
John

You guys suck. Since now I'm only reading posts in the evening when I
get home, I saw this challenge last night and was hooked on it. I'm
stuck at trying to get into the .htaccess level (level 15). I had a
full evening planned: swimming, dinner, friends/survivor, then settling
in for a night of homework after speaking with my fiancee and then off
to bed at 11:30. ut instead, I got hooked on this dumb thing and
started working on my homework at 11:15. I finally finished that about
1:15.

I fully intend on doing nothing else this evening.
The latest batch of Microsoft security holes, and their accompanying
patches have been approved by our change management group here and I am
jumping out my A$$ trying to get the login script in the pdc tested, and
then scripting the baseline analyzer to make sure they all take.
YAY!!

Yeah, I got to level 12 this morning, but then reminded myself that I
have lots and lots of freelance work to be doing, and that, ahem, I'm
my
only employee. D'oh!
