	Fist of all, I liked you post and I like your guys site.
Secondly, how did this cornball, Carolyn Meinel, manage to climb so far
up the latter that she is making headlines on ZDNet?
	Also, what method did they use to get root access to Rt.66's
server. About a month ago, when they started that stupid contest, the
first thing I did was I went downstream and I telnet'ed in (a bad sign)
to their (ISP) server, noted that it was strange that the had left open
such a obvious hole, tried a couple of common root and superuser
passwords, but got bored and decided that I just wasn't cut out to be a
happy hacker. Truthfully, I am more interested in actually learning
about protecting my own stuff than breaking someone else's. It was while
I was doing my daily reading on the various
security/hack/crack/phreaking sites when I stumbled on to her site. The
name said it all, however the audacity of the crap on her site was so
unbelievable that I had to poke just a little bit (comon, she has stuff
about changing 95 boot up screens for godsakes). If your an ISP hosting
a crack and burn contest, then why the hell would you leave good old
telnet WIDE OPEN on any of your systems (or routers, or whatever)?
	Anyway, the site is great, and I loved the BASH log.
