Anatomy of a Hack: the PC Week Linux Web Server Attack
Overview While hacking has never gone out of favor, the notion of putting a system up on the Internet and inviting hackers to have a go at it goes in and out of fashion. In the summer of 1999, the hacker's challenge was very much in fashion, with a several challenges. Microsoft exposed an Windows 2000 Web server, which soon disappeared from the net, only to reappear later with claims of power failure(that affected only that system). The Linux PPC (Linux on the PowerPC architecture) group put up a system which you could have if you cracked the Web server. After seven weeks, and no crashes or cracks (and only one reboot), the PPC folks ended the on-line challenge (because people were attacking their ISP).
