"Attacks on web servers, typically designed to modify or destroy information on company home pages, are increasing," says Willem Poterman, manager of Apple Europe's Server Product Marketing department. "Many companies have already had their web sites cracked and are seeking to optimize the security of their lifeline information systems. This can be costly in terms of additional time, investment in new hardware, software, and consultant fees. The Hack-a-Mac contest is designed to prove that with a standard Mac OS server configuration, equipped with the standard Apple Internet Server Solution, customers do not require additional security."
The Global Access Hack-a-Mac contest will run from June 4 to July 31, 1997. During this time, competition entrants can attempt to hack the Global Access "Try Me" page as often as they wish. A complete article on this contest is posted at this web site:

Additionally, VirTech wants to prove its server can withstand vandalism attacks like the ones against the NASA and CIA web servers. The rules are simple and the prize is big. The first hacker to successfully attack the server--that is, break into it, snatch the credit card number, and change the phrase found on the page--will win a hefty Canadian C$ 10,000 prize (or an equivalent U.S.$ 7,500 prize). The Macintosh server that VirTech employs has in no way been modified; VirTech has not installed security software to strengthen its firewall and protect the server. The server is running Apple Internet Server Solution 2.0, an Internet network suite of products that consists of Starnine Technologies' WebStar 1.3.2 server software, and several prepackaged CGIs (common gateway interfaces). You can obtain detailed contest rules from the Vanhacking Challenge web site:
