Hack This Site is a free, safe and legal training ground for hackers to test and expand their hacking skills. More than just another hacker wargames site, we are a living, breathing community with many active projects in development, with a vast selection of hacking articles and a huge forum where users can discuss hacking, network security, and just about everything. Tune in to the hacker underground and get involved with the project. http://hackthissite.org Wed, 22 May 2013 16:37:39 0 First Amendment to the United States Constitution. She somberly lived a beaten, battered, and abused 221 years, and she will be sorely missed. Normally, we do not report on the near-daily atrocities and affronts to civil rights unless they impact you digitally (eg. SOPA, CISPA, and so forth). However, due to her last breath drawn, we are making a special exception today to mourn the passing of our dearly departed First Amendment.

"How did she die?", you may ask yourself. Well, in order to answer this question, we must analyze the law in its entirety:[list][*]"No law respecting the establishment of religion" - The first part of the First Amendment clearly states that the United States is NOT a Christian nation, nor a nation of any religion whatsoever. This was further supported by numerous [url=http://www.borndigital.com/founders.htm]writi...]]> HackThisSite Staff Tue, 14 May 2013 21:02:13 0 CISPA has been defeated! (Again again..)

But this actually isn't much cause for celebration, considering the other things that have come to light recently. First and foremost, CISPA appears seemingly unnecessary anyway considering that the U.S. Justice Department further immunized AT&T and others from litigation, similar to the retroactive protections of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 for AT&T's Room 641A. From the CNET article:

Now, in repeat effort, a new measure has been proposed: The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), a horrific piece of legislation that will completely and entirely annihilate your privacy online. Literally, this law deems electronic communications less constitutionally protected than physical ones.

So how did we get to this point? Soon following the PATRIOT Act, an AT&T technician Mark Klein revealed in 2006 the existence of AT&T government-intercept room 641A in the San Francisco SBC Communications Internet backbone trunk room. This intercept room provided unnamed government entities unfettered access to anything transmitted t...]]> HackThisSite Staff Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:17:54 0 Edit) April Fools! On a serious note, we have actually considered this before, and an HTS convention may one day happen.. ..sometime after v5 gets released. So, like, 2018, I guess?

We finally did it! After nearly a year and a half, we've finally secured all funding, legal rights, and participants necessary to hold our very own convention: The First-Annual Hack This Convention!

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting a two-day hacking and security convention (think a much smaller HOPE or DEFCON) on Friday, August 30th and Saturday, August 31st, at the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA:

[s]3311 East Carson Street
Pittsburgh, PA 15203[/s]
The FBI

The cost of the event will be $60 for a two-day one-person pass (without a hotel room), and $220 including an on-site hotel room (two twin beds, limited availability). Only 340 tickets available (thus far), so order fast!

Current headlining participants include security expert and sitting U.S. Congressman, Rep. Lamar Smith, and, most importantly, world-renowned cryptographer Bruce Schneier, as well as some talks from HackThisSite staff and community friends.

The immorality and unethical nature of this largely anti-due process is so very blatantly obvious that we need not even go into any more detail than acknowledging it.

As a brief update to the inner-workings of HackThisSite, we have decided to offer up to 40% of our entire available bandwidth to the Tor proxy system. We have chosen not to host an exit node (with the exception of allowing isolated exit traffic into our own network only), but instead setup an entry and middleman proxy. Thus far, we have seen a consistent 40Mb/s average of traffic through this node, and we are quite pleased to be participatory in this endeavor of ensuring information remains private. If you wish to use our Tor node as an entry point, you may specify it in your configurations using the following IP addresses:

DNS: tor.hackthissite.org
IPv4: 198.148.81.167
IPv6: 2610:150:8007:0:198:148:81:167
