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. xponent Black Ops Contests Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
