Hacking to earn a PS3

You got some hacking skills and you want a PS3 with all its default accessories, a 160 GB hard disk, HDMI cable, Linux (fedora core 5 PPC + PS3 add on) and "Resistance - the fall of man" game. All these are for free if you hack a website and replace a picture of a baby holding the Play station 3 package in the "ps3_challenge"folder on the website 'http://ps3.shimpinomori.net/index_en.html'

Well there are some rules to the hacking challenge. You need to do a clean hacking job of the website that is running on a PS3 using Fedora Core 5. No Denial of Service or dirty attacks that saturate the internet tubes are allowed. Other machines in the sub network must not be attacked.

Once you have hacked into the PS3 machine you need to announce your victory in this discussion thread in the ACBM forum. At the same time you would have to send a mail to SHIMPINOMORI. The persons whose mail comes first will be the winner. You will also have to put a text file in the root user's home directory inside the "ps3_challenge" subfolder with your name and postal address.

The winner has until the beginning of January to hack into the system. So if you do have some 133t hacking skills get on to it fast, swap a few files and earn your PS3 by hacking into this owners console. See the site and be at your hacking attempts. As long as the picture of the small boy holding the game console is on the site you can be sure no one has hacked the website.

This may be an attempt to popularize this website and get as many hits as possible but in case you are a hacker why not give it a go. Not just for the prize but for the thrill of a hacking challenge.
