I originally thought they had done a honeypot and were opening it up to the world. You know, a REAL challenge. Then I realized that they were opening this little network (notice, behind a PIX, not their own home-grown crap) only to attendees of this little MicroSofty event. Geez. Talk about pathetic. Now, I know some pretty smart people who make their $$ supporting Windows, but there are just too many sheep in that pasture. Most people who would be likely to attend that event I wouldn't trust to hack any box running RPC, CIFS, and IIS. even with physical access to the box.
