Install similar applications on two operating systems and invite the world to come in. Departing from static testing these server are running a real world application, based on a classified ad system for a newspaper. This will test not only the operating system but the entire implementation. For NT this includes ASP, IIS and MTS, and SQLServer 7, while Linux will use Apache and mod_perl. IIS on NT VS Apache on Linux. Which combination is more secure? Read the backgrounder on the test.

The site goes live today for a one- month trial. The site contains near-identical systems, one running Windows NT with Internet Information Server (IIS) and the other running Red Hat Linux 6.0 with Apache as its web server. PC Week Labs created similar classified-ads engine applications running on each system. The challenge is to break into the site, mark up the home page and steal user information from the classified-ads engine. "Security is extremely important in the Internet environment and both Microsoft and the Linux community, via Red Hat, boast that their operating systems are secure," noted PC Week Labs Director John Taschek. PC Week Labs will track the number of attempts for each operating system and report the results in an upcoming issue of PC Week. Additionally, PC Week will issue a prize to whomever hacks into the site first. The challenge terminates when the first hacker accomplishes any of the test challenges. Winners will receive computer-equipment gift certificates of up to $1,000. "Corporations, financial institutions and government agencies are susceptible from attack via the Internet," Taschek said. He cited figures from a 1999 survey conducted by the Computer Security Institute and the FBI indicating that organizations reporting their Internet connection as a frequent point of attack rose for the third consecutive year to 57 percent in 1999 from 37 percent in 1996. Financial losses due to computer security breaches were reported as exceeding $100 million this year. full story http://www.linux.com/newsitem.phtml?sid=1\&aid=4195 -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- relayed by james@ptm.com via jericho@DIMENSIONAL.COM via isn@securityfocus.com -.- -.-. --.- Jetzt erst recht! 1000 Sonnen - das Musical zur Wahl heiter, sauber, ordentlich DrezninMusik MoechelBuch PoschRegie Premiere 10.
