Microsoft hack contest aka how to debug for free

Posted by deepquest on May 6, 2005 – 9:36 pm

Until June 8th, you can hack (or try to) the server at http://www.hackiis6.com with impunity.
And if you?re the first one to modify (?deface,? the organizers say) the site or capture the “hidden” document, you?re up for a free Xbox.
It’s one of the lamest Hack contest I ever saw: try to hack a server for a XBox!!?? Retails price of an Xbox is around $160. Even security outsourcing services in India cost more than $160 for a pentest.

?We’ve tried to be as realistic as possible in what constitutes a successful hack and in mimicking a basic HTML and ASP.NET web site,? says WindowsITPro.

And just about anything other than a ?massive network denial of service (DoS) attack against the Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 box or its host provider? goes, apparently.

?We want to test the security of Windows Server 2003, IIS, and other Microsoft applications,? say Bill and the Boyz.

if you are VERY desparate have a look to the contest [url=http://www.hackiis6.com/]http://www.hackiis6.com/[/url]
