Exploit-dle
daily · code reviewRead a short real-world code snippet. Name the vulnerability class from the options. Three guesses — wrong ones progressively highlight the suspect lines as a visual hint.
- Hand-authored snippets in PHP · Python · JavaScript · C · Java
- SQL Injection, XSS, Command Injection, Buffer Overflow, SSRF, XXE, and more
- Win reveals the full explanation and links to the canonical CVE in the NVD

daily · encodingsA short encoded message. What encoding? Base64, hex, binary, Morse, ROT13… pick wrong and you see the gibberish your chosen encoding would produce — so the wrongness is visible.
- 43 hand-crafted puzzles across 8 encodings at launch
- Base64 · Base32 · Hex · Binary · ROT13 · Atbash · Morse · URL
- Each wrong guess shows that encoding's decode attempt — educational by construction
