What happened to Pryaxis Jump?

Well, basically:

1. It served its purpose in my life. I helped teach a lot of students a lot of information security principles.
2. It made enough money to make supporting it a problem, but not enough to make supporting it worthwhile. It was a serious platform for a few key users, but not serious enough that I could justify continuing to offer support.
3. It was built for a very segmented market. The cross section of high domain knowledge with high security knowledge was too small to enable a viable long term market to help #2.

I think CyberPatriot is a great operation, and I think it does a lot to encourage STEM at an early age. I think it does a reasonable job at teaching information security principles to students. I don’t think it’s accurate in the real world in a lot of ways, but it’s a great exercise. Jump served a role, but with more accessible score engines, its role is less important.

Will it be open sourced? #

Maybe. Probably. Eventually. Don’t count on anything super close to soon.

Can I use it commercially / buy it? #

The service is discontinued and will not be offered commercially.

Thanks #

There are some pretty important people who helped me with Jump, through help, motivation, inspiration, and everything in between. Thank you, everyone.
