Hackits.de is a hacking challenge website based in Germany that includes a variety of challenges based on different categories, from solving logical problems to coding and cryptography.

Like many others, the website features a ranking system based on points gained from successfully completing each of the hacking challenges. However, the award system adds a twist, with the ability to earn "medals" and "ribbons" for different accomplishments. For example, there are ribbons awarded for finish all levels of a certain category, such as coding or cryptography, and there are medals awarded for reaching certain milestones, such as finishing three challenge categories to the end or finding bugs in the site.

The site has recently undergone an update, and new challenges are being added from time to time. Also, in addition to the five challenge categories, there is also a "Miscellaneous" category with over 140 extra challenges. It's a cool site to pass time while learning something new, and the community is for the most part friendly and well-policed.

You can check it out at Hackits.de
