something like :
wget --recursive -np -e robots=off -x --header "Cookie: PHPSESSID=<your session ID>" http://bright-shadows.net/hackchallenge
should do the trick, but you will need to filter the result

Yeah, but i would need an account to crawl challenges.

Gizmore, I've sent the challenges and a part of the forum to your email address via wetransfer. If i've some free time today I will try to extract some other data (list of users, who solved what, structure of the forum,...)

Sadly no mail arrived yet.
I am working on the main site skeleton meanwhile

I dumped nearly all challenged from bright shadows. I am only missing the Web-Challenges and Challenges with manual checks. I also dumped parts of the submission forum, based on my solutions. (around 120). If you interested just PM me

I have a site dump saved if needed, and I may also have a spare account ;)

If you have an account then visit a challenge like http://www.bright-shadows.net/challenges/stegano/ascii_1/index.php to get the login prompt. Once logged in, then visit a user's profile to see a list of all challenges, and if you click on one you can still view the entire challenge http://www.bright-shadows.net/userstats.php?username=sabretooth

The forum is at http://www.bright-shadows.net/forum/forum_structure.php?rootid=13 (Forum/Folder section is more useful than New Topics, e.g. hints & solutions)

You could also visit this page, if you want the old feeling back : http://www.bright-shadows.net/index2.php

So far we got a dump of the users, challenges, solved, and forum.

The biggest problem so far: Many challs have hidden pages, like even the 1st warmup has a warmup.php not included in the dumps.

so if someone wants to help... crawl the page not visible by public.

Like some exploit challs have an own site structure... dump these for us?

Happy Challenging!

Another big problem is the permission in the solution boards.

On TBS this was implemented not that good.
Only 1 forum per category. Can filter by challenge.

I have no idea yet, how to convert that to a structure with 1 board per challenge, but i think 1 board per challenge makes more sense?

indeed, the current structure is far from optimal. 1 forum per challenge is better; I will patch the downloaded data to create this new structure (new forums and move topis in the correct forum)

I'm in contact with some people in order to gain access to the missing "solved" forums, i will soon publish the list of missing forums so we can complete the data set (or if someone solved everything, he's welcome to PM me ;-)

We are still working hard
