  Does anyone know of the website which has basically a king of the hill thing except with hacking, where you try and take over a machine and keep others out? The one I'm thinking of, I believe, has the winners publish how they managed to hack in and secure it. Google apparently isn't much help.Thanks, bytecoder   
  not much help me saying I dont know, but this sounds really cool!I hope someone has the link, sounds like something I want to do!just to check.... it is a game (uplink style) rather than real hacking isn't it?   ;This? or maybe This?;Quote:Original post by PentenThis? or maybe This?Thanks, rootthisbox looks like what I remember.   ;  Last time I did this kind of a challenge (it was in person via LAN, a neat little thing we set up for ACM) the machine in question ended up without a partition table or filesystem.   ;Quote:Original post by wilhilnot much help me saying I dont know, but this sounds really cool!I hope someone has the link, sounds like something I want to do!just to check.... it is a game (uplink style) rather than real hacking isn't it?No, it's real hacking. You try and take control of the machines they set up for it, and try and keep it under your control for as long as possible.   ;  I think this might be what you're looking for:hackthissite.org happy hacking[SMILE]EDIT: Darn it! Too late.   ;Quote:Original post by PromitLast time I did this kind of a challenge (it was in person via LAN, a neat little thing we set up for ACM) the machine in question ended up without a partition table or filesystem.Hehe.

So who won? I don't know that anyone won. Problem is that there was a second machine that kept telnetting into the box as root every 5 seconds, so the opposing team ended up with the root password pretty quick. The only good ways to stop that kind of attack are pulling the network cable (which I did and was banned from doing again), killing the invader's terminal (which I did and was banned from doing), and disabling remote logins (which I did was and was banned from doing). So after all my defenses were deemed against the rules, the machine was ended [sad]
