Hack This Site
HackThisSite.org, commonly referred to as HTS, is an online hacking and security website. The organization has a userbase of well over 1,700,000. The actual number of active members is believed to be much lower, as most accounts are never used, or are only used shortly after creation. An average of 0.50 members are logged on per day, and the most was 1,995 users online at the same time on February 5th, 2012 at 2:46:10 AM CST. It aims to provide users with a way to learn and practice basic and advanced "hacking" skills through a series of challenges, in a safe and legal environment.
HackThisSite involves a small, loose team of developers and moderators who maintain its website, IRC server, and related projects. It produces an e-zine which it releases at various hacker conventions and through its hackbloc portal. Hard copies of the zine are published by Microcosm and Quimbys. It also has a short news/blog section run by developers.

“That is a pathetic inquiry among travelers and geographers after the site of ancient Troy. It is not near where they think it is. When a thing is decayed and gone, how indistinct must be the place it occupied!”
