"Hacking Competition" Gone Wrong
I Thought this was an interesting article on a "hacking competition" gone awry. http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,t269-s2111243,00.html
Ok folks, the link is fixed. Thanks Kezil for the correct link.

The link doesn't seem to work
I came in to the world with nothing. I still have most of it.

Yes, I got the same prob. Could you perhaps post the name of the article if you can't get a good link?
Preliminary operational tests were inconclusive (the dang thing blew up)

LMAO.. those kids were just using their "hacker initiatives" aka "hacker instincts" i mean.. the target was way protected for a direct attack so they tried to find a way to get around it... cant blame em.. thats just constructive thinking.

That's fascinating. I would never have thought of something like that, it's sad how unrealistic that contest is, but for $100,000- I'd play by the rules .

$100,000 for hacking a Mickey Mouse-type server. Odd.

Well, first step... target enumeration - and that's what they did... LOL
Yeah, probably what they did was "wrong" - but it was a hacking contest. So, yeah... I think it could be argued that KDWorks implicitely granted permission for them to also go after that server.
