No disrespect, but perhaps this is precisely the point of it? Not so much
that you personally could show up and prove you've got the largest e-Peen by
defeating a dozen or so AV vendors between snores, but rather the fact that 6
or 7 thousand script kiddiots armed with notepad and a command line could
probably squeak by too? Not so much big news for people who actually work in
IT, but a widely publicized contest in the deep, dark, scary underbelly of the
Internet - now that's got sex appeal.
If nothing else, it should make for an interesting sound bite or two, maybe
even percolate up to the next Senior Manglement budget meetings, ala "OMG
signatures don't work anymore?!? We need AV-destructo-magic 2.0 (now with 20%
more heuristics), stat!" Your fine point about anyone having a pair of brain
cells to rub together notwithstanding, a great many pointy-haired bosses really
don't know anything about ANYthing until it shows up on a pre-digested cheesy
Fox News segment...
