From an update on /.
University of Wisconsin's Mac OS X Challenge. HABITcky writes "The
University of Wisconsin Security Challenge has ended after 38 hours,
intermittent DoS attacks, 4000 ssh login attempts, a bandwidth spike
of 30 Mbps, and 6 million logged ipfw events. During this time there
were 'no successful access attempts, nor any claims of a successful
attempt.' You may remember this challenge was proposed in response to
the 'woefully misleading' ZDnet article, Mac OS X hacked under 30
minutes, which was previously discussed here on Slashdot."
The test was ended a bit early once it came to the attention of the
higher powers that be (the CIO of UW-Madison) who was apparently was
concerned about "... security and network access for UW
services. ..." (I can see that, 30 Mbps is a lot of folks trying to
access them all at once).
OS-X is still the champ.
