The first one was to challenge anyone/everyone to break into a Sidewinder site. This challenge has been deemed unsuccessful by the folx at sidewinder.com. That challenge is now over. The current (or rather future) challenge is given initial access to a Sidewinder host, to penetrate another Sidewinder host on their local network. -- William McVey CS Department Purdue University
