RunCode: Practical Programming Challenges (w/ Josh Rykowski)
Josh Rykowsk is the founder of RunCode, a 501c(3) non-profit organization. RunCode makes it easy for people in cybersecurity to learn programming. It's a platform to help you learn coding through programming challenges. To become good at programming, you need to practice on exercises. RunCode offers over 180 cybersecurity-oriented challenges, from log parsing to binary exploitation.
When people try to learn programming, bootcamps and courses come to mind. Unfortunately, their biggest shortcomings are overly-simplified or abstract exercises. They often over-emphasize computer science concepts like algorithms or data structures. These problems can be quite arbitrary in nature. RunCode provides real-world challenges to problems you’ll often encounter in cybersecurity
The team behind RunCode hosts a live programming competition each year in November. They also host a perpetual site at runcode.ninja for challenges from prior live events. They're accessible by anyone on the Internet and have a Slack channel for help.
RunCode lets you upload a script or a compiled program for each challenge. Their backend will execute it to check output against the expected solution. Since there are many ways to solve a problem, this gives you the flexibility to try a problem in different ways. RunCode works with almost any programming language, so it's a good way to learn new ones.
