Hey all you eager EH-Netters,

Here's another contest to test your skills. It's pretty simple...

1. Visit the Amazon Page for the new pen testing book, "Ninja Hacking," by Thomas Wilhelm and Jason Andress (Both EH-Netters   ). The link can be found in the book review by Ryan Linn.

2. There is a clue embedded somewhere on the Amazon page. That starts your ninja adventure.

3. The only hint we'll offer is that powers of observation are sometimes more important than L337 5|<1LL5!!

That's about it. The only other thing to mention is how we choose our winners. There are 3 signed copies of Ninja Hacking up for grabs. 3 names will be randomly chosen from the group of ninjas that finish the challenge by February 28, 2011.



Happy Hacking,
Don

He he, nice... I thought I had it there for a while...

Nice, I thought I had it too but I hit a dead end   

I did the same thing. That's the reason for the hint in #3 above.

OK, so I'm pretty sure I found the starting point.  Now trying to determine what to DO with it...  This one has my interest piqued.

There are 2 things I think could be the starting point. But I'm not really sure.

I did one and got a good way with the other but am not sure what to do with it.  I think I may have followed a red herring, but since I cannot do with one thing what I want to do and get anywhere, I will keep down the (herring) path.

very difficult challenge.  either that or my 1337 observation kung foo is weak

At that point, I had some choice words for Jason that I'll keep in my head. As his evil laughing faded away in my head, I could then hear him quoting Sun Tzu.
