Every candidate taking part in the InetSec and SecProg courses starts in the Script Kiddy rating. After all, you have done nothing to prove that you are security-aware. However, as you proceed through the courses, you promote with every challenge you solve. If you are really into security (and you are good), you can do InetSec 2 or SecProg II. to become Master Guru at the end of the process. Depending on the number of challenges you solve, you can improve your rating and earn our respects (as well as gain points -- useful for successfully completing the courses ;-)).

Here is the global InetSec and SecProg list (i.e., every course candidate who took part and at least solved one challenge) and the nicks that were assigned to them (sorted alphabetically) ;-) The list also indicates if and how many times a candidate has taken part in the CTF. BTW, if you are a Guru or a Master Guru, you have earned the right to choose your own nick. Send us an e-mail and we will update the list accordingly:
