It's that time of year again, and we are setting up the newest and greatest of Windows, Linux and Macintosh firewalls, ids and day after pills to see how fast they will fall, it hackfest 2k4.
Hey isn't this what having your own network is all about?
You thought it was to keep people out of your machine. Hell no, you want to keep someone out you don't connect (that's what we do, all the important stuff is never connected.)
But for the duration of the fest the network will not be connected to the internet to keep prying eyes away from the festivities. Nope we are not even leaving a beacon up if you want in you have to be here by 9:00 am and BYOB.
We have 5 servers up and running on the network already and we are setting up more. Guests are to bring their own computers and cables. Don't bring anything you can't afford to lose guests computers are open targets as are the servers.
Points awarded for speed and finesse; anyone getting all root passwords scores an automatic win. Judges decision final, prizes as always: the admiration and acclaim of the best of the best of your peers.

About Me
- ysrd
- I am a Computer Program/Systems Analyst working at a Nuclear Research Lab. I have a severe lung disease (Silo Fillers Disease) from working on the family farm so had to leave farming and became a Computer Programmer. I am a generalist so am happy working on hardware, software, specifications and mostly anything to do with computing. I have 16 computers at home (5 if you count the cluster as a single computer.) I use both Windows and Linux as well as MAC OS. (I also have a cpm machine from the 70's; it still works.)
