Never heard of it, but I do have one question. What is a "Infrastructure Exploit Master" exactly?

Basically, my specialty (even in my Internships/jobs as well as my hobbies) is looking through any kind of network and trying to find weaknesses. Not just IT and Computer networks (which I can do very well, TYVM
) but also Logistics, Communications, Social, and Physical Networks as well. Im no CIA or NSA level expoloiter, but not many 20-21 year olds can do what I can so i guess I am a master in a sense......
The only people who call themselves hackers are wannabes. And even in a real sense, Hacking is just about seeing how something works. Im more interested in how to make something work for myself than for the sake of knowledge. So when you spend time doing so called hacking, you realize what it is, and that is that you are trying to find weaknesses in the architecture of your target. As such, Infrastructure Exploiter is the term I identify with the most.

never heard of the site but congrats. Sounds impressive.
It's often the outcasts, the iconoclasts ... those who have the least to lose because they
don't have much in the first place, who feel the new currents and ride them the farthest.

Just my two cents.
Yeah, either that or they are just really cocky....

To be honest the challenges on SO are pretty easy. The latter once need more concept though. I just solved a few of them since I had some spare time. In 2 days (About 5-7 hrs with boredom) I scored 890 points. If someone has their basics cleared then in one full day if they just focus on the challenges they can easily make it to about 1200 - 1500 points.

I diversified mine. Especially the Scripting challenges. But SO is really good practice, besides Hack this site.....
