Thanks for sharing. Are the revenue generated based on the ads on the website ? Are they generated per number of clicks on the ads ? How does it work with ad blockers ? Thanks
Yes, revenue is ads-based (and a few donations). I use Google AdSense. ~40% of players use an ad-blocker; I let them block ads, I don’t play cat-and-mouse.
I got this error while trying to register. Does anyone know a simple way to bypass this ?
"Sorry, that email domain is not recognized. -- An email address from a recognized U.S. school or university is required. If your school's domain is not recognized, please request it to be allowed by clicking HERE"
Just looking at the site it seems they pull from an approved list of .edu domains so I think 2 probably wouldn't work unless you could social engineer you way onto the approved list. The ones sold by Hafis might not either, I didn't see a list of approved institutions readily available though.
Just because it's a computer security challenge doesn't mean you should start breaking into the website before the challenge begins. That's akin to suggesting that boxers who were deemed not to qualify for a competition should punching the referee to prove otherwise; what's normal inside the sport can be entirely unacceptable outside it.
I agree, but it clearly says you need an edu email. Either you have an edu email, or by asking how to skip that check you're trying to circumvent the website limitations. So in spirit, you're already trying to break in, just through different means :)

You think being Omni-potent in a modern world wouldn't bring its own shade of problems?
It's more akin to the boxers who were deemed not to qualify cuz their deemed arbitrarily too old remind the judges of their youth, all in good fun.
If you cannot get access to an @edu email for long enough to verify a 2FA between Facebook familiarity and now, you likely aren't of the caliber outside of the domain specialty that can be entrusted with that magnitude of information.

Can you cite a source for this? I'm acquainted with some USAF people and have close friends with fighter pilot siblings (I know, family) and I have never heard this before. If by "family" you mean "a spouse", the people going up in trainers are too young to have built families, so that can't possibly be a DQ.
In fairness: so too does the claim that this is a test of whether you can hack a .edu email address, like it's 1994 and the next test in their CTF is whether you can find an X.25 outdial. No, they're just recruiting from engineering schools, like everyone else!
Career tip: if hoping for a GG-whatever role at NSA, recommend not committing crimes in the process of trying to impress them. They are a lot more boring than you think they are.

well, its not a really a crime when you do it for the homeland. also not a crime if its boring.
Indeed. Bioshock 1 remains my favourite game - even after all these years, the parallels in the story between Rapture and our modern world remain as relevant as ever.
I would add One Hundred Years of Solitude to the list. Probably the book that impacted me the most of all the books I've read. I just can't recommend it enough
