About
Mission:
OverTheWire.org / PullThePlug.org is a non-profit organization aimed at nurturing the growth and development of the information security field through community-wide research and development projects, lectures and wargame servers. Rather than taking the usual approach of hands-off documentation, we emphasizes education and development as a community effort.
The Mailing List:
An e-mail-based discussion group. Sending one message to the mailing list's list server sends mail to all other members of the group. Users join a mailing list by subscribing. Subscribers to a mailing list receive messages from all other members. Users have to unsubscribe from a mailing list to stop receiving messages forwarded from the group's members. (Google Defined)

IRC:
Quoted from the IRC-help website: "IRC is a multi-user chat system, where people convene on "channels" (a virtual place, usually with a topic of conversation) to talk in groups, or privately." Since its inception, PTP has always maintained an IRC server for members of the community to help each other and discuss in real-time. IRC is currently our preferred medium of choice for real-time communication.

Vortex3
I think there's a problem in vortex level 3, at least for me. I exploited it right, used resuid(tried setreuid and setuid also), i get a shell, but with level3 privileges. I asked people in the irc, they said my asm code and shellcode look right. One of them told me to try out a shellcode he gave me, didn't work either. What should i do?
Here is the code: http://pastebin.com/m55a49328
