Level 1: The people who just go to the site/download the APK

Level 2: The people who realize that the requested actions are likely unsafe, and complain about it

Level 3: People who realize that this is part of the challenge and just use a VM

Nobody on HN is "this dumb", if you want to participate in a challenge with an intelligence agency, take the proper precautions

The majority of the population is Level 1. Consider what that means for Mossad.

Enjoy your challenge.

"The majority of the population is Level 1"

Yes, and those people might visit a website, which asks for...shudder...cookies. If you can show that the cookies do something nefarious, I'd be interested. Do you think they general population would even get to the point of installing an APK?

"Consider what that means for Mossad"

At this point, you can't even prove that the APK does anything nefarious - and it would be dangerous for the Mossad if it did, because the challenge is literally to decompile the APK.

I thought the majority of the population was level 4.

Level 4: Ignore it.

Level 5: You've downloaded Droid4X extra because of it, installed Java and everything and then you come back on HN to look if somebody is already on the next challenge (in order to save time) and then you start again, but with the new challenge :)
