    Default Jarlsberg

    Wasn't really sure if this was the right section. Hopefully it is.

    Has anyone tried Google's new app? I think it's quite fun, and informative to people attempting to make a site.

The codelab is organized by types of vulnerabilities."

    "In black box hacking, users try to find security bugs by experimenting with the application and manipulating input fields and URL parameters, trying to cause application errors, and looking at the HTTP requests and responses to guess server behavior while in white-box hacking, users have access to the source code and can use automated or manual analysis to identify bugs. The tutorial notes that accessing or attacking a computer system without authorization is illegal in many jurisdictions but while doing this codelab, users are specifically granted authorization to attack the Jarlsberg application as directed."

    These are always fun, there are others also which provide such practice
    There used to be something meaningful here.
