[cobalt-users] RAQ Security Challenge

["Nick G" <vidra@xxxxxxx>]

Just incase people want to know how secure RAQs are, we've setup an un-used
RAQ as a 'try to hack this' server (dn.net has refused to cancel the server
without heaps of notice)

http://209.207.216.52/
telnet user: guest pass: guest

so, far we've had up to about 35 people online at once as guest (local
access) and ive enabled almost every daemon in inetd.conf, and im very
surprised how secure it is even with 30 people at once trying to hack it
locally. almost all patches installed. no hacks so far.

cheers,
