I think the main thing to keep in mind when doing any of these hacking games is permission. Do you have permission to do what you are doing? With overthewire they give you permission to do the challenges. If you were to try to go outside of what they say you can do, and try to pivot to another part of their system to hack, that’d be illegal.

If you’re interested beyond cli stuff like otw/bandit has check out tryhackme.com They have a lot of fun beginner friendly stuff as well.

This is a lot of fun. Starts off pretty basic with the cli, and gets way more advanced.

I thought so too for a long time. Had to figure it out for actual budget though. Tailscale makes that aspect pretty simple. Still probably too complex for your average user, but if you’re setting up self hosted apps you should be able to figure it out.
