“Internet security is a process, not a product. eWeek Labs’
Openhack project is designed to help e-businesses make this process
work better in complex, heterogeneous computing environments.”
“Openhack is an evolution of last year’s interactive
Hackpcweek.com test, in which we pitted Linux and the Apache Web
server against Microsoft Corp.’s Windows NT and Internet
Information Server 4 to see how each would fare in a hostile
Internet environment.“
“With Openhack, we’ll be taking the concept of interactive
testing a step forward: We invite crackers to take their best shots
at the Openhack.com site. Examining the number, type and targets of
these attacks will allow us to measure the security — and
vulnerability — of a variety of computing platforms in a simulated
e-business environment.”
“The project’s public Web server is www.openhack.com, where you
can find a log with the latest updates.”
