A New Challenge from Honeynet
cjpez writes: "The people at the Honeynet have issued another challenge on the Bugtraq mailing list. Instead of hacking into a box, though, this time your goal is to submit the best analysis of a binary file they'll post on Monday, May 6th. Think you're good at reverse engineering? Then try it out! They're even offering actual prizes, so you can get something besides the feeling of personal fulfillment for your trouble. The post hasn't quite made it to SecurityFocus' Bugtraq Archive yet, but I did find it at another Bugtraq archive in Germany (slashdottings abound!). The URL included in the email, http://project.honeynet.org/reverse/, doesn't seem to be active yet, so presumably we can assume it'll go up on Monday. The post fails to address other concerns, though: will the winner be in violation of the DMCA? :P The challenge was also issued, obviously enough, on SecurityFocus' Honeypot mailing list."" In a later note, he points out that the announcement has finally made it to the Bugtraq archive page." (And that URL is active now.)

These guys are releasing this "challenge" to attempt to find weaknesses. The more we help these people the stronger the files become. Eventually we won't have free software or music anymore -- because everyone will be using secure formats. And, when we are forced to pay outrageous prices for this shit, we will sit back and remember the days when software was crackable and free. The formats will become uncrackable thanks to all of the free work that we gave them. This isn't a "challenge" ... it's called fucking yourself over slowly. Give them a challenge -- don't help them out!
