it addresses popular Internet security issues that are plaguing the media

that the Internet is vulnerable to credit card number snatching.
Additionally, VirTech also wants to prove its server can withstand the type
of vandalism attacks that have been successfully directed against the NASA
and CIA Web servers.
The rules are simple and the prize is big. Whoever breaks into the server,

(http://www.filez.com)
San Diego, CA - (May 28th, 1997) - Filez helps users sift through millions
of files on the web to locate software anywhere on the net. New features
give users the ability to search the massive 75 million file database using
file descriptions in addition to searching by filenames.
The new description searching feature means that users no longer have to
know the name of the file, but just a descriptive word or two. In the past,
visitors to Filez had to have an idea of the name of the file to locate it.
Now file descriptions are indexed for many files allowing users to locate
files even if they only have a few descriptive words. The ability to read a
description also makes it easier to identify relevant files and avoids the
hassles of downloading files without knowing what they are. Similarly, if
users locate a file using a filename search, the server will display a
