CFB: Call for Boxen
0wn the box? Own the box!
CFB: Call for Boxen
Vendors, hardening projects and security-centric distros? Random people with Crays in their basement? Bring your gear, plug it in, and prove your worth. Earn cool prizes (we don't know exactly what yet, but they'll be cool, we promise) and earn mucho street cred.
If we don't see at least two boxes from the OpenBSD folks, and Adamantix, Hardened Gentoo and others, we can only assume you're nancy-boys. Here's a chance to put your money, and your gear, where your mouth is.
But what about Vista? OSX? Quick Bill, tear the BlueHat boys away from their X-Boxes and get to work! Steve, bring the OSX security team (you have one, right?) back from the Ashram and tell them they have a chance to redeem their Karmic energy from the last few 0day embarassments!
And how about the freaky stuff? Amigas running Cern httpd on Plan 9? Pocket calculators with IP stacks? Bring it on.
For our part, we'll make sure the scenarios are real, and everyone gets a fighting chance. We're putting some of our own gear up for grabs as well.
To sign up, post here, send me a PM, or send a mail to ownthebox {at} cipherpunx {dot} org.
The DCNetworking folks are graciously giving us space and connectivity, but BOTH ARE LIMITED. If you show up at con with a box, and want to participate, we will do our best to help, but we can't promise anything.
Sign up now, in advance, or risk not getting 0wned. That didn't sound right. Feh.
