Hackers Get Their Own Scoreboard and Rankings
wiredmikey writes "Sometimes hacking is about money; other times, it's about competition, and when that happens, it is also about getting a little credit. Enter RankMyHack.com. The site is described as the world's 'first elite hacker ranking system,' and invites people to submit proof of their Website hacks in exchange for points — the higher the points, the higher the place on the leader board. In order to get ranked, hackers need to prove they have indeed hacked a site – by inserting a predetermined text into the hacked site page. Rankmyhack then scans for the text in the page and gives score based on how popular the website is, with lower points awarded for XSS attacks. Assuming the site is real – and early reports indicate that it is – hackers can now see where their hacks stack up against those of their peers. Will this morph into a playground for hacktivists to hone their skills?"
No true hacker does it for points.
I guess I'll be visiting them to see where *I* should be looking on our clients' websites for these newer, praise-worthy shenanigans.
I'm going to express my full confidence that this site couldn't possibly be a trap.
And if it isn't then it should be.

In fact, I posted my first hack there fifteen minutes ago. Wait... why's my doorbell ringing? No one ever visits...
See my journal for slashdot ID's by year. Mine created in 2005. http://slashdot.org/journal/289875/slashdot-ids-by-year
I'll bet that the site remains unhacked for no longer than a week.

I was kinda disappointed when I saw the article.
I'd rather it be for karma then for lulz
I'm god, but it's a bit of a drag really...
My DCI ranking is pretty high... Oh wait... Hacker not nerd....
Nevermind...
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
A hooker ranking site would actually be a pretty useful public service for those into that kind of thing. I think there is already a popular escort ranking site.
and out of here
So why do we need another website to do the same thing?
I knew he was the best
High school kids will get "pwned."
In the meantime, who's checked out who owns the site?

Until I see Mitnik, Captain Crunch, and DeathVegetable on the scoreboard, my enthusiasm will be tepid at best....
Aaron Barr's new site?
If that site doesn't ring an alarm, them perhaps you should teach your children right-way to stay away from vans like this one as common-sense doesn't seem to be in your genes.
I have big doubts that some of the sites on the top of the list were hacked. Someone hacked google.com? Yeah, right.
48 points.
Surprised it doesn't have some smart-ass message when you type that in at the bottom to get how much it's worth.
How many points to hack rankmyhack.com? :-)
We forgot to mention, the site is run by the government.....
We forgot to mention.... the site is run by the govt. Please submit your code to gain bonus points and your name for combo points.

slashdot.org is worth 110132 Ranking Points. XSS attacks against slashdot.org are worth 1101 points.

So technically, you are placing all the information of who hacked what and which site, so that someone can not only get a signed confession,
but also can let that webmaster know he has been hacked. Come on...I hope no real hax0r falls for this....
FBI head my warning, anonymous i r me, will reveal you to the world......
Whether the number one ranked entity earned for hacking another website or this one?
It's a trap.
Run.
would be this site:
http://securityoverride.com/challenges/index.php
at least it actually teaches you something
time to go play with Christopher Robin in the hundred acre woods..
1. hack cia.gov
2. post about it on the forums
3. go to prison
sounds like a plan...
The best part is that the cops only have to raid one service and bam all hackers are nabbed.
Hookers already have their own ranking site.
It's in my pants.
for all your hacking prosecution needs...
if ever there was a website for the FBI etc... to hack and infiltrate that would be it.
Problem is, you are only going to get the hackers stupid enough to post there, which are likely too stupid too do anything too bad.
Maybe rename it scriptkiddies.com, of course then the FBI would really be all over you...
They need achievements like on Xbox Live.
“Achievement Unlocked: You Hacked the PSN!”
Points are awarded based on the wrong algorithm. For example, NSA.gov is only worth 2,497 points but HomeDepot.com is worth 219,941? The Department of Homeland Security (dhs.gov) is worth 17,068 while facebook.com is 75,000,000? Really? Until the rankings better reflect the underlying difficulty and associated risk, I refuse to participate in this sham. Cheers, Matt
Think about it!

how many you give yourself after hacking the site itself?
Well it will be a very short time until someone hacks that site to come out with billions of points.
Honeypot?
Facebook is the most rewarding one i've found so far, 75M points.
because first off, you wouldn't call it "elite." Also, ever heard of Hack This Site?
When you make an advertising enquiry, you get a webmail type interface with the subject including an escaped single quote thus:

Funny!
Pro-tip: Most cities in Canada and Europe have such sites (and I'd assume the USA too), dig around.
In 1908 Wilsdorf registered the trademark " rolex watches " and opened an office in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The company name "Rolex" was registered on 15 November 1915. The book The Best of Time: watches for men : An Unauthorized History by Jeffrey P. Hess and James Dowling says that the name was just made up. One story, never confirmed by Wilsdorf, is that the name came from the French phrase horlogerie exquise, meaning "exquisite cheap rolex watches " or as a contraction of "horological excellence". Wilsdorf was said to want his swiss watches brand's name to be easily pronounceable in any language. He also thought that the name " luxury watches online " was onomatopoeic, sounding like a watch being wound. It is easily pronounceable in many languages and, as all letters have the same size, allows to be written symmetrically. It was also short enough to fit on the face of a rolex watches sale .
In 1914 Kew Observatory awarded a OMEGA watches a Class A precision certificate, a distinction which was normally awarded exclusively to marine chronometers.
