A new year means new membership challenges! Starting from today, you can find a new membership event, with 12 exclusive challenges.

* Simply register for the new event named "HL MEMBER EVENT 2018", and pay the fee which is EUR 49. We're using PayPal for the payment process.

* You get access to an exclusive membership event with 12 challenges. In addition to that, you get the membership status for one year. With this status, you profit from additional goodies and discounts.

* If you are holding the membership status already, a DISCOUNT of 20% is applied automatically to your order. Your membership status will be extended by one year. Example: If you became a member by October 2017, and are now purchasing the membership event 2018, you'll be a member until October 2019.

* The 2017 event is not visible anymore to the public. If you purchased a membership last year, you will keep access to the event (even after your membership status expires one day).

Happy hacking!

We hope you had a lot of fun with this year's challenges!

There is still some time left to get points. The challenges will remain online until the end of this year. Beginning of January, we will then transfer the points to Hacking-Lab, for your global score.

You can also submit a write-up of your solutions, to Hacking-Lab. This is worth up to 25 additional points. Please do so by the end of this year!
