Ghost in the Shellcode is a computer security capture the flag competition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capture_the_flag#Computer_security)
Basically all the cybersecurity companies have their cool script kids compete. The coolest part is theres an MMO you have to hack to win some of the flags. http://pwnadventure.com/
It's stuff like, Kill 9000 Bears, so you have to figure out how to become invincible in the client, or maybe record and replay the Kill packet, and then after you kill enough bears the server records that you got that flag. There was another one where you needed to like get to the moon so you modify the client to negative gravity, etc etc.
here's a good writeup of last years:
