Hi,

there will be an interesting contest 6.-10. November, first one who modifies
the web page gets 100 000 German Marks (around $45 000). The system will be
running Pitbull 3 under Solaris 7, with http, telnet and smtp open.
Nov 7th /etc/passwd will be published
Nov 8th an user account will be given away
Nov 9th the root password will be published

The root password doesn't seem to have been published. Just the /etc/shadow.

I had the impression that they were going to publish the root password in
clear text. That would have been more interesting.

Ah well :).

Cheerio,
Link.
