http://www.hackiis6.com/default.htmBeginning May 2nd and running until June 8th, this server (located at http://www.hackiis6.com) will welcome hackers to attack it. If you are the first person to deface the Web site or capture the "hidden" document, you win an X-box! Read the contest rules for what does and doesn't constitute a successful hack. We've tried to be as realistic as possible in what constitutes a successful hack and in mimicking a basic HTML and ASP.NET web site.
For the most part, almost anything reasonable constitutes a successful attack except for a massive network denial of service (DoS) attack against the Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 box or its host provider. We want to test the security of Windows Server 2003, IIS, and other Microsoft applications. So, please, respect this rule of the contest so everyone can have a chance at claiming the prize.
This server is running Windows Server 2003, Service Pack1, with all current publicly released patches and hotfixes installed (we ran Windows Update and MBSA just like you would do). We installed IIS 6.0, and then we followed Microsoft's basic recommendations (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/prodtech/IIS.mspx). I added a few tweaks here and there to put my personal mark on the site, but nothing extraordinary.
We want this contest to test Microsoft software, and so the only third-party software we used is the host's router/firewall, which would be normal in most environments.
Haha, let's see how this goes. :up:
