Some of the games have been moved to a VM based setup again. SSH keys are not persisted over redeployments. Don't be scared if you get a host key warning. What is at risk any way? You are connecting to a public box full of hackers, right? Good luck!
All shell-based games have been migrated to Docker. A consequence of that is that the SSH keys have been changed and your SSH client will complain about it if you've connected to the games before.
Each game now has its own SSH port, in anticipation of a move to a new server which has a similar setup.
On March 18th, all servers in the IRC network will be upgraded to only accept TLS with perfect forward secrecy ciphersuites. If your client does not support this, upgrade your client or use an unencrypted connection.
The drifter wargame had also been offline for a while, but has now been revived. You can find it at drifter. Please enjoy this late holiday-present and report any (unintended) bugs.
The kishi wargame had been offline for a while, but has now been released as a Vagrant VM. More information on kishi. Merry christmas and best wishes for 2015! May the year 2015 bring you many 0days!
This website moved to github pages, allowing easier edits by the community in the form of pull requests towards the OverTheWire website repository

We are currently migrating some services to different hosting providers and in the process will be retiring some wargames and releasing their diskimages into the wild. There are several advantages to releasing old wargames:
- it will allow you as a player to play offline, whenever you want
- you will be able to rip apart levels as they are set up, and have a closer look at them
- you can host the wargame at your own lanparty!
- it will give you insight in how a wargame is built, hopefully inspiring you to create your own (and of course contribute it :))
- Finally, it frees up resources on the OverTheWire servers so that we can host new wargames
More information about this soon!
