Site Tags

Thats the reason why i did not copy the "impossible mission" tag, maybe "Storyline" is more appropiate? i dunno.

I don't worry about that, the impossible missions are about hack some different servers, like linux based servers, windows, government or special server, and then notify to zone-h.org, or take control of a botnet, so I don't think that the tag is appropiate.

Other thing, I saw that you remove the reverse engineering tag, but in yashira reverse engineering is different from cracking category. The cracking topic is about bruteforce some different algorithms like MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, NTLM, modified algorithms, etc.

That could almost get tagged as "Shell". (which is a realistic realistic chall) ;)

I think haxtor, thebackubox and Yashira would get the "Shell" tag then?

As you see it is not easy to tag the sites... the focus should be kept on navigation, not uniqueness.
So the tags should point out the similarities.

I agree, but now what is the difference between shell and realistic?
I think that haxtor has a high focus in Crypto.

Yashira has the Wit category that can be classified in Logic tag.

For example we have 2 realistic sql-injections (exploit) ... but it`s not that realistic as backupbox or haxtor, as it`s in kinda sandboxed env

Maybe we should first come up with 16 disambigous defined tags?

It's ok, I don't remember a shell challenge in haxtor, I was viewing all the challenges in haxtor, and It's kind of Crypto, exploit and realistic.

I agree with the idea of the sixteen disambigous defined tags.

As far as I know, there is no shell challenge in haxtor. It gives you a shell account, but the goal is to use it, not to exploit it.

By the way, I think that you can merge 'Hacking' and 'Exploit' tags too.

For Brainquest i will merge these tags:
Crypto,Stegano,Logic,Storyline # Hacking/Exploit?

Crypto,Stegano,Logic,Storyline tags describe the site well.

Hacking,Exploit and similars have been merged to 'Exploit'.

I think we could need a general tag for sites like Electrica, Rankk or Hacker.org, which have a linear challenge, eg, you have to solve the challs in order to unlock more challs. Maybe just "Linear" will do... anyone got a better tag name?

Some more :

'Black Zero' => array('Bl0', 'Basic, Exploit, Javascript, Crypto, Cracking, Stegano, Logic, LockPicking'),
'HackQuest' => array('HQ', 'Logic, Javascript, Java, Crypto, Cracking, Exploit, Stegano, Flash, Programming'),
'Hellbound Hackers' => array('HBH', 'Basic, Cracking, Javascript, Exploit, Flash'),
'osix' => array('osix', 'Programming, Cracking, Crypto, Stegano'),
'ThisIsLegal' => array('TIL', 'Basic, Exploit, Programming, Crypto, Cracking, Javascript'),
'TryThis0ne' => array('TT1', 'Exploit, Crypto, Cracking, Stegano'),

As you can see, I'm using some more tags : Java (reversing ?), Flash (reversing too ?). Maybe you should have sub-tags for reversing, like Java, Windows binaries, Unix binaries, Flash, and so on ?

Yeah, having special tags for Java,Flash,etc is good. Having subtags is very hard, but having 4 or 5 different cracking tags should be fine.
Cracking is maybe the tag for win32 exe.
if there are much linux exe to crack, we could give them the tag "ELF".
Java and Flash are self explaining enough to notice they mean cracking/exploiting a java / flash app.

Thank you for your submission again, good job!

Edit:

Lord Oric: It looks like you will win the contest and a special reward ;)

But not for fun i posted this request for help in an early stage, so there will be enough time to top it, and correct, improve, and contribute to the list.
Every submission was helpful so far
