Sort of interesting thing I found last night.  Even though you can't ping the machine and if I try to load the machines 
webpage it will take a few minutes and usually fail (once and a while it will load) but if you telnet to the machine 
(23, 25, 80) it will connect no problem (even on 80.. which is what's strange).

Ironically enough a few days before I heard about this contest I was also trying to find out what commands internet 
browsers use to load webpages.  I didn't find that information unfortunatly, but am still curious if anyone knows these 
commands (if you telnet to a machine:80 you connect, but all the commands I've tried just result in a "501 Method Not 
Implemented" error.  Also odd that no matter what I put in their machines port 80 it wouldn't ever talk back to me 
::sniffle:: heh.  But does anyone have a list of those commands to use on port 80?

Also, just curious, but how did (forgot name) check the relaying rules?

i tried alot , but the connection always failed. even telnetting to port
80
didnt work. i have 2 (legal) shells very very close to the system, so i
think you have to catch a lucky moment to get the / page. <joke> i could
mirror the site if anyone send me an apropriate .tgz hehe </joke>

It seems as if the box is pretty ok right now. I have seen the two pages
hosted there - no more info than hacking-contest.com...

port 25 and 23 ( try root/toor maybe it works haha ) work like a charm.
Hmm, I am not sure if I see what I should:

SunOS 5.7

login: nobody
Password: (nobody)
Login incorrect

login: root
Password: (toor)
Login incorrect

I can keep going like this - it doesn't kick me off :)

only thing i could do was checking their relaying rules (relaying denied)
and looking for some user accs:

550 www... User unknown
250 nobody... Recipient ok
250 root... Recipient ok
550 ftp... User unknown
250 nobody4... Recipient ok
250 uucp... Recipient ok
[...]
550 admin... User unknown
550 administrator... User unknown
550 gast... User unknown
550 guest... User unknown
550 toor... User unknown
550 argus... User unknown
550 argusadmin... User unknown
[...]
550 bla... User unknown
550 blabla... User unknown

I wonder if there is anymore info from that..

so i just sit and wait for some login info ...

Yup, don't we all. :)
