If you want to learn about firewalls, why not learn iptables? Seems the most reasonable to me.

don't know, but you're not supposed to do everything by hand, the idea is to code a program that does it for you....

I think there nothing hackerish(is that even a word?) about that, but it sure is a fun way to waste time on the internet

nobody finds suspicious that the posts from Helba, DotHacker, and Ouka are too close in time to each other? Like, I don't know.... maybe they are posted by the same person?!?!

Hacksign, do you actually live in China? Is the internet access as repressed over there as we westerners think? I mean, I don't think that by putting the word "democracy" or political stuff like that the site will automatically be banned for you? I just realized that if what I say is true,...

I saw that you lowered the 15 games matches to 5 games matches and now 1 game matches. Don't you think it's too little? there will probably be too much mobility in the ranks, since most bots have a random part(I guess). I personnally found 5 games to be too little, but I think 15 games wasn't feasab...

I know you don't have to know a bit of HTML to be a 'hacker' but that's generally where people start, at the beginning of some type of programming. Just for the record, HTML is a markup language, not a programming language. If you want a beginner's programming language try PASCAL, or BASIC(one of t...

Why do you need to know HTML to be a hacker?!?!?!? That's nonsense!


If you want to filter on something a little more meaningfull you need a C test, or perhaps C++, or some nice scripting language like Python or bash.

Is there a possibility that you provide read only access to a cvs|svn|git server so we can update our SDKs more easily?

I think maybe that way it is less work for you and for us. (Not that it is much work anyway, so, just a suggestion/wish)

From what I've seen in this forum, most of the people here isn't truly a hacker in the good old meaning of the word.

When I first came accross this site I expected more people in the style of Eric Raymond's definition of a hacker.


Anyway, the puzzles are really fun and there's no harm in that

Thanks, works OK.

Ok, I just uploaded it.

I narrowed down the error: it only happens when I try to access "int[][] enemies"

How are the ranks calculated? and how do you decide the pairings? and how often do the bots play? and is there a way to submit a totally different bot, and to reset the record? Maybe it would be usefull to have a table with the individual scores by each pair of bots. Sorry for the amount of question...
