World Wide Hack Attack? → Let's see...

OpenBSD firewall up to date and active... check.
Apache patched and current... check.
Apache running as non-root user... check.
OpenBSD in use on web server and up to date... check.
PHP patched... check.
Passwords stronger than hell... check.

Bring it on.

"Seriously..." I'm not all the worried. They only sites targetted are going to be big, like Google, Yahoo and the likes.

realy...who cares?...
a good site is backed up
most prize hit (bbr) have 2 sysadmins,3 programmers,4 script gurus, and a guy to cut the wire on duty 24/7

Its called sarcasm and humor, but its a shame you weren't able to get it... *sigh*

More wit wasted on non unix adept...

LOL, I thought that the idea of this contest was to deface 6000 sites in 6 hours ... as in ... lots of them but not necessarily famous ones... Don't you think that it's far easier to hack some small, insignificant sites than any of the big ones?

If you look around the world, you are likely to find 6000 major internet sites. And many of the larger sites have multiple sites...

For example, I know the BBC runs many servers and many sites under different subdomains. Within the BBC domain along, you could probably get 20-50 sites. The you have sites like Yahoo! and others with multiple sites.

Smaller sites may get targetted, but... Many smaller sites have tighter security. Of course you do have those sites that just run an unpatched version of IIS4.0 running on NTS4.0 with Service Pack 2 still running it.
