My extremely long solution to level 7: <https://hastebin.com/share/izenucefec.vbnet>. The interesting part is at the bottom.

Example response with the password: <https://hastebin.com/share/dewumuvaxo.vbnet>

I bought a domain name from a domain squatter who used Epik and there's a 60 day waiting period before I'm allowed to transfer the domain away.

Their site is one of the buggiest I've ever used (no, really), so this hack doesn't surprise me at all. Now I'm trying to remember how much personal information I would have given them.

I wonder how difficult it would be to make something similar that generated 3D models. Most of the examples look like they'd make good video game levels.

What rating would you need for something like that?

At least 90%. If I'm at work and not working, I'm usually working on one of my own projects.

1. Reporting vulnerabilities

2. Signing git commits/tags

>If he hadn't coded it, someone else would have.

At his level at the time, sure. Anyone can write a web quiz. But I would think that a lot of the most significant ethical challenges developers face would be in much more specialized areas.

Safety-critical systems often have real-time and embedded components, for example. The regulations for safety-critical software vary a lot between industries, too, which makes it even harder to find a replacement for someone who leaves for ethical reasons.
