Cyber Defense Competition Has A New Champion

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the hack-the-gibson dept.

lisah writes "Several colleges across the country went head-to-head in San Antonio, Texas last weekend at the National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition to see which team could best protect their networks against attacks. In a modern day version of Steal the Flag, the teams duked it out using identical network setups that included a Cisco router and five servers. In the end, Baker College took the champion's title from last year's winner, Texas A & M University."

    If your ass looks just like that of Bin Laden, don't leave it hanging out of a cave. And if you don't know what a hellfire missile from a Predator drone can do, just follow the link in the parent!

    Reminder for PowerPC users

    On 16 April, Colin Watson wrote that, in accordance with the technical board decision documented in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2008-March/000400.html, individuals using the PowerPC (also known as PPC) build of Xubuntu should take care to update their /etc/apt/sources.list file. Old sources.list entries looked like this: /etc/apt/sources.list. Old sources.list entries looked like this:

    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted ... while new entries should look like this:

    deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ hardy main restricted

    If you are still using archive.ubuntu.com on a PowerPC system, beware that the old sources list is likely to stop working soon and you should migrate to ports.ubuntu.com as above.

    You can open your sources.list by pressing Alt+F2, entering gksudo "mousepad /etc/apt/sources.list" and pressing Run. You can then replace the mentioned lines with their new values.
