I have always enjoyed trying to gain access to things I'm not really supposed to play around with. I found Hack This Site a long time ago and I learned a lot from it. The issue I have with HTS is that they haven't updated their content in a very long time and the challenges are very similar. I'm no longer 13 and I want bigger and more complex challenges.

I was thinking about chalanges like Cyber Security Challenge and US Cyber Challenge (@sjp wrote about these on the meta)

Also, are there any big social engineering competitions besides the one at Def Con?

Curent list:

Wargames:

Over The Wire They have lots of small hacking challenges like: analyze the code, simple tcp communication application, crypto cracking.

We Chall We Chall is similar to Over The Wire. Lots of challenges. They also have a large list of other sites with similar challenges.
