The Ethical Hacker Network (EH-Net) is more than a free online magazine for security professionals as it also acts almost like an educational portal for newbies interested in security. Every year like a Christmas tradition, EH-Net features a holiday hacking challenge written by security attack and defense guru Ed Skoudis. The 2010 skills challenge is The Nightmare Before Charlie Brown's Christmas.
Donald Donzal, the man behind The Ethical Hacker Network, said one of the great methods to learn and get involved with the security field is EH-Net's "Skillz H@ack1ng Challenges hosted by Ed Skoudis of SANS and InGuardians. Basically, they are written stories from popular culture that we twist into a hacking scenario with questions for which the contestants have to submit their best answers. It's a fun way of learning practical methods and win signed copies of Ed's book, Counter Hack Reloaded."
