JUST TRY TO GET IN: First off, I'm not sure if you've ever
seen those college bowls, where they pit, say, Ole Miss
against the Aggies. Over at eWeek they've been doing
something similar for the past four years - pitting the
hackers of the world against the security experts. It's
called OpenHack, and much like leaving a Lexus in the South
Bronx, they stick a server out on the 'net and dare anyone
to break in. This year the focus is on application security
using software from both Microsoft and IBM. The challenge
began earlier this week, and someone has already hacked into
the lowest ring of security - and won a prize. If you secure
corporate systems, love to hack, or just can't resist a good
competition, check out OpenHack today:
