NetWars is challenging for all levels of expertise, has great hints if you get stuck, and promotes continuous education.

Core NetWars was challenging but not frustrating for newbies. This is my first time doing NetWars and it has been a blast.

I'm very impressed with SANS NetWars. The material is relevant and educational, and the tournament-style play is remarkably engaging.
