After you answer a question, there should be an explanation of the right answer. I was able to guess through some that I had no idea what they actually were, and an explanation of why I did/didn't get it right will help a lot and actually help me identify vulnerable code.

Same here, I was able to guess through an answer which was "resource injection" by finding code 'PATH INFO' just made sense.

Yes! This is the first idea that occurred to me, show me why after each answer.
