    Hi Giz!<br><br>That would be nice.<br><br>I was also thinking about getting the challenge files and archiving them.

    I have several challenges saved, but usually only the ones that I'm trying to solve and can be solved offline.<br>I agree that several programming and hacking challenges wouldn't be possible to be saved.<br><br>I don't think that reformulating the whole site is necessary, but I agree that an update will help a lot.<br>This design makes me nostalgic, I remember my old days, struggling into some very basic challenges. <br><br>

    An update would require an active admin, which we lack. The last sighting of erik was in 2014.<br>As long as the registration is broken, the site is as good as dead, and it might just go down someday.<br><br>Gizmore's idea would allow it to survive as a challenge site as a part of the wechall network, if I understand it well.

    Nice to see you around, Gizmore.<br><br>Would it be possible to keep the full site, with styles and everything inside wechall? That sounds great.<br>Matrixman would be helpful here.

    There's nothing to say the Erik isn't dead. It is totally plausible that he could have passed away. Or more likely; he has abandoned this site exactly like he said he would. There's no knowing what could have happened to him. The domain name could have been paid far in advance.<br>There have been countless attempts to contact him over the past three years all which have failed. It has been two years since he has even been sighted as active on this site and its been 3 years since Erik proposed to migrate ownership of the site. <br>This site is a free-for-all meaning the first one to break in takes ownership. This site hasn't been updated in a long time, and this includes security updates to the software hosting the website.<br><br>I think it is a realistic assumption to say the end of the site is nearing soon:<br>The Domain Expires on: 13-may-2017<br>That's 6 months left from the date of this post.<br>Start saying your goodbyes.

    Don't be alarmist. Erik is alive (hope so). He probably is just too busy with his life and have no time anymore to take care of this site.

    I'm going to try calling the admin. Hopefully he won't be annoyed.<br><br>==Update==<br>I called the 'admin', which is 'marc bromm' apparently. Conversation lasted about 20 seconds.

    If the site's domain is going to expire, then we should choose one trusted member to buy the domain (help him with money if necessary), and he just have to setup the domain as it is today, pointing to the same ip address.

If that's the case, when the domain name expires the website will no longer be hosted.<br>If it's just a case of the domain name disappearing, you can still access the site by passing the hostname[bright-shadows.net] in the header of a http request to the IP address of the website. That would require the site to have a static IP address for ever.<br><br>The issue we should be focusing on is that the owner of the site is no longer maintaining it.

With no admininstrator there will be no one to put it back up and that would be the end of bright-shadows.<br>The site is already broken and may continue to break. No one new can sign-up, so the health of the community is rapidly declining.<br>Considering there circumstances, it is reasonable to say the website won't be up much longer.<br><br>The WhoIs information contains someother contact information. Maybe the guy I called is the owner but didn't really understand what I was saying. I felt like the guy I was calling was dismissing me. Maybe it was the owner, but he no longer wants to be a part of it.<br><br>The admin hasn't even accepted my PayPal donation from the 3rd of November. I'll have to cancle it.

I was thinking about an offline solution checking mechanism, and came up with an idea.<br>For some challenges, those which don't require server side processing, like crackmes, crypto and steganos, we can hash the solution with bcrypt and set a huge cost parameter, so offline checking will be possible, but bruteforce will be waste of time, something that would take like 10 minutes per check would be a good base for the cost parameter for today's machines and for the next 50 years !<br><br>The only problem is that we need people that already solve certain challenges to contribute to this list.

    Solution forums could also be encrypted with a key based on the solution word., and put in the archive.<br>So, has anyone kept track of all the flags, or want to go through 300+ solution forums ?<br><br>I'm not convinced it's necessary. Most challenges have a non-ambigous solution. The guess-heavy ones sometimes have a simple word solution, with small enough entropy that it could be brute-forced anyway.<br>

    I guess a valid option would be contacting the hosting company, letting them know about the situation, point them to the discussion and asking them to give the actual contact details of Erik or in case he passed away ... give us a backup.<br>As far as I remember, there was another admin, right? What about him?

I am happy to hear if you have a plan!<br>Looking forward to your answer, Erik\"<br><br>In any case, I'll try to procure the code and the database.

    I also got a reply by e-mail fro Erik saying he's willing to put some time into helping us take over. here's what he had to say :<br><br>\"regrettably I missed what seems to have been the kind of discussion I<br>have been waiting for for so long. In case you and the other people<br>involved, I would be happy to have a discussion with everyone to<br>figure out how to best rescue the site!<br><br>I am willing to spend some time on helping out in the process. What is<br>most important to me is that there is a group of people behind this<br>endeavour to avoid the eventual failure of my one-man \"approach\"<br>during the last years.<br><br>Please let me know what the current status is and if you/we could<br>arrange for some kind of effective discussion in the nearest future.<br>Only Facebook does not work for me though.<br><br>Thank you so much for staying behind the site after so many years! I<br>am hopeful that we can relaunch it, with your and the communities<br>help!<br><br>Best wishes, looking forward to your reply,<br>Erik\"

    Great news !! <img alt="\&quot;:)\&quot;" src="%5C"><br><br>If we have the code, we can use some modern solutions to prevent challenges from get broken, or at least repair it fast and automatically, like using containers for some challenges or vms.<br>Also, we can publish some more immersive challenges, for example some local exploit or another thing, since nowadays VMs are cheap easy to create some isolation e easy to give access to.<br><br>But focusing on saving this whole website I would recommend to create a solution that prevent this very same situation to happen again in the future. Things like a github account that only admins have access, or another solution to that, but some place where the code and the backup (S3 for example) could be safe, and are easily shared among any other new admin.

    The last survivor was here. Could I really be the last man standing? <img alt="\&quot;-_-\&quot;" src="%5C"><br>There is only one challenge left to complete. Hack the site and upload the challenges to GitHub. Forgot the password to my main account as I havent used this site in so long. At least we can still make accounts and use the site, kind of.

    This site was one of the things that got me into programming back in the day. Though I am not nearly good enough to solve all of the challenges, it would be good to know if I can do something to help to keep the site up or to archive it somewhere.

    Figured out how to login after all this time. After much time in my life I plan to get back to it. Are the challenges still accepting valid entries?

    I guess they are still working and accepting validations.<br>I didn't try to solve any since the GDPR \"lock down\" though.

    Yes, challenges working. I solved a few after they are closed down, but those are only the static ones. Don't know if the web-challenges still working. Challenges which requires manual checks are not working, because most user are gone. Personally I find it still awesome that the site is somehow accessible <img alt="\&quot;:)\&quot;" src="%5C">

    As usual... good job Giz! (Did you lost your towley account?) <br>Btw, only part of the challenges are saved, for example if the challenge is a multipage challenge only the initial page is saved.
