Why hold the Hack IIS 6.0 Challenge?
1: Most security breaches are caused by not following basic security guidelines and best practices. We want to put IIS 6.0 to the test to see if it is highly secure when you implement it correctly.
2: Because it's a fun way to engage with you, our audience!
3: It's a chance to share knowledge and demonstrate how to protect your system against hack attempts. Coming in our August issue, we'll publish an article "How to Set Up a Hackproof IIS" featuring Roger Grimes' recap of the contest, and sharing the secrets of how he created an impenetrable IIS environment.
