Hackerslab.org is a genuine hacker playground with computer break-in games, run by Korean hackers who want to discourage computer crime while encouraging those who want to legally learn how to hack. They now have an English version of their web site.

Ebina tells us how to get into the game. "You start out by registering for an account, which gives you a user name and password with which to access the 'View Problems' page. You will then see the problem you need to hack to get to level 1.

"You then telnet to drill.hackerslab.org, login as level0 and guest, and hack your way to user level1. Once level1, you run a command, `pass`, that tells you the password to login as level1. Enter that into the 'View Problems' page, and you can see the problem you need to hack to get to level 2. All the way to level 14."
