1) Most security breaches are caused by not following basic security guidelines and best practices. We want to put IIS 6.0 to the test to see if it is highly secure when you implement it correctly.
2) Because it's a fun way to engage with you, our audience!
3) It's a chance to share knowledge and demonstrate how to protect your system against hack attempts. Coming in our July issue, we'll publish an article "How to Set Up a Hackproof IIS" featuring Roger Grimes' recap of the contest, and sharing the secrets of how he created an impenetrable IIS environment.
Well, N3WBI3, sounds like a dare ... you, and others like you, come here and say how easy it is ... go for it.
If no one here does it, then I guess you'll all have to stop the "see-how-vulnerable-MS-is" type of claims.
Can I hack it? maybe, if I really put my time into it. Im not a gifted hacker but I do have a good deal of experience on iis as an admin. Personally the amount of time I would have to put into it (if I could do it) is not worth an x-box to me..
or it might be im too busy with a wife who is now two days past her due date, moving into a new house, finishing a class at school, and rebuilding our weblogic platform... A naked *anything out there* can be hacked..
Well, yeah, sure, it could be that too! =)
Congrats on the upcoming baby!
My wife and I are also closing on a new house next week, so I know how you feel.
new construction or an existing one?
That's about the only reason one of them would go for it. Unless they need a new computer and want the XBox to put Linux on.
Yep, being a hacker, probably would.
