RUaNinja?
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. 3 get signed copies, but EVERYONE gets a discount on Syngress Books!! Happy Hacking, Don
Special thanks to Syngress Publishing for providing the prizes and the coupon code. They've always been supportive of EH-Net & the entire security community. Kudos to the entire crew. |

Interesting... I almost did something without realizing there was a related competition!
Good luck everyone, I've got Thomas' other book and can say it was a great read.

Ah, come on!.... it's easy!! Ok, no it's not. I got stuck, too.  Jason put a good challenge together, I must admit. Serious kudos. |

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

I've been bashing my head against this since the post went up. But am having no luck on it.

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

Anyone else freak out when they thought they were done and you were told to 'try harder'?

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.
