In my opinion, Smashthestack's Logic wargames are a lot more buffer overflow focused than IO ones. The first level php problem is rather misleading in that regard.

Smashthestack and overthewire both have a wide variety of wargames that might be fun to look into if you're interested in pursing security related challenges:

There's also an intro level CTF going on for another 9 days @ http://zeromutarts.de/

Registration is easy and instantaneous.

Don't understand why this wouldn't just been merged into the upcoming versions of R. Creating a new project is strange, anyone know as to why they might have done this? Sure there's probably a good reason that I'm just unaware of.

I had always assumed osx's aqua interface was behind the dock, very cool to get a chance to see what their predecessor looked like in action.

tardigrade | 13 years ago | on: List out of Lambda

Solid intro into the lambda calculus. Wasn't so into the js examples, but after reading the other comments, I can totally see how a functional/mathematical syntax would have been very disorienting for someone not familiar with the lambda calc. Since those people are obviously the target audience, js seems fitting.
