Why is project euler not on github? Yeah..no one's gonna help unless you open-source your project buddy.

That's not nice. It's also plainly false. Lots of people love Project Euler.
Like me. And I would like to help but I know almost nothing about penetration testing. :(
Exactly. Source code would help a lot. It's an education site that's extremely amateur in nature. It belongs as open source.
How to down-vote a comment ?
You click the "down" arrow that's below the up arrow. You also need a bunch of karma, like 500 or a 1000.
Why is X not on Github is the programmer version of folk getting offended when you don't use Y social network.

Also:

Github Presence != Open Source

Open Source != requirement in asking for help/advice

Of course, but perhaps the point that most people who try and coerce others into using GH are making, is that the community would be more able and more ready to help them fix vulnerabilities quicker if they had access to the (non-sensitive parts of the) source code.

As such we can only trust that the people running the site are taking due notice and patching it correctly -- which, (I hate to say) given Project Euler's track record in the last year or so...
