The Hydrogen hundred dollar challenge

[Dave Aitel <dave () immunitysec com>]

I'm not sure why they spelled David Litchfield's name wrong, or how they picked who they picked to put on this hillarious chart, but if you 
haven't seen it, it's worth a look-see. If you didn't know it was a professional group, you'd think it was done by GOBBLES.

Of course, that's true for lots of things these days. One great example is "Google Hacking". I know it makes for a great demo to pull up old credit card information on a search engine, but in my opinion hacking and web browsing are two different things. 

Also, here's a book on installing and configuring Ethereal. I dunno what's funnier. That they wrote a book on that, or 
that it took four people to do it.

I was reading a weblog the other day, where a person complained because Hydrogen (http://www.immunitysec.com/products-hydrogen.shtml) was too hard to write a Snort signature for. I guess my position is that if your network can be owned by less than 100K of code which I wrote in my spare time five years ago, then it's time to upgrade to a system that can't. 

Anyways, I will give $100 dollars to the first person who posts a snort or nfr  signature that can detect my private (slightly 
modded) version of Hydrogen. (i.e. make it reasonably generic, and let's not have it false-positive every time I browse the 
web). The idea here is to show that everything doesn't have to be spoon-fed to you Gerber-style.
