What Javascript are you talking about? Anything the browser interface can do, you can do directly with raw HTTP calls. The Rails front-end is actually just a thin proxy around a JSON RPC interface exposed by the Golang emulator itself.

If your point is "that's not helpful for people who don't know how to use HTTP and JSON", I'm at a loss, because the problems Microcorruption wants you to solve are much, much harder than HTTP.

Harder, but simpler (less complex). Wargames like SmashTheStack give you a Linux shell - it's much more fun this way. Just so you know, I ragequit microcorruption after three levels. Like the poster above, I know nothing about web development and have no intention of learning. The crypto challenge was really great though, thank you for that!
