Calling all hackers -- Singapore is organizing a contest to find the
best computer hacker.

Six pairs of hackers will compete in the "BlackOPS: HackAttack
Challenge 2004" on Aug. 20.

Organizers said the teams will penetrate, exploit, gain access to and
obtain privileged information from the other teams' servers, for the
purpose of corporate espionage. Teams will also have to defend their
own computers from the other teams' attacks.


A government agency has put the competition together in hopes of
shedding light on ways to prevent actual computer attacks. The prize
for the best hacker will be a DVD burner and free computer classes,
although you'd think an expert hacker already knows whatever would be
taught in a class.

Asia has been the root of some of the worst attacks by hackers in
recent years.
