overthewire.org: safe to use?

[Tom Browder]

Anyone here have any cautionary advice about using the ssh to war games on
their site?

My grandson just spent last week at a Cyber Security Camp offered by the U
of West Florida, and they used it for many of their activities.

On Debian it’s the “bandit” package that provides ssh access without any
user prep except the installed package—and I’m not used to that at all.

Thanks.

I'm not able to find what information, they are collecting, if you need
to retreave files from their servers...

Not sure that [1] is the PKG you are refering to!

According to [2], nothing needs to be installed.

Ah, I just noticed the port was specified.

Thanks, John Doe! All is well.
