Cylant: Another hack challenge, bigger carrot!

Back in May of 2001 the folks at Cylant were doing a little guerilla
marketing offering $500 to anyone that could "0wn this box" [1].

Since then Cylant has been purchased by another company, and they are
now able to offer a slightly larger carrot.  Still not the $50K and
the SGI machine I'd like to see offered... but $5,000, and heck, that
still buys plenty of dual-processor AMD machines to bump up your
RC5-64 stats, play MP3's and still have a little left over for a swank
suite at Defcon :)

The new challenge machine is at:

Good Luck!
