I’ve been looking for a way to recognize #OST2 volunteers more publicly, and this will allow them to stand head and shoulders above other OST2 students and claim their rightful place of honor! Only the instructors and potentially hardcore class-completionists will shine brighter!

I think inter/intra-country leaderboards will drive some fun inter/intra-country competition. E.g. here’s who’s been active on OST2 in the last 30 minutes (it’s currently too-early-to-be-up-o’clock on a holiday in the US ;)). But which country has the TOP students?!

🎮In the 5th video in our gamification fundraiser, @xenokovah.bsky.social talks about how leaderboards will work!🕹️


We will have a bunch of different leaderboards: global for the entire site, per-country, per-class, per-accomplishment, and possibly more!

As a DEFCON speaker I get some extra human badges to give away. I’d like to give them to HS/College students who are also #OST2 students. Email me at Xeno at ost2.fyi with a pointer to your OST2 username and proof you’re a student. Most completed OST2 classes wins

🥳 #OST2_5th_Anniversary🎉
OST2 is made possible by instructors who want to help other security engineers learn skills faster. So what we'd really like to see for this coming year are more instructors teaching more diverse topic areas. If you 🫵 have an idea for a class, reach out at teach at ost2.fyi!
