Re:Hacking CGI is fair (Score 2)

Without question hacking CGI is fair. In fact, two really big and very recent CGI blunders come to mind:

• hotmail
• network solution's dotcom mail

In neither instance were there any server breaches (that have been disclosed) but some really stupid CGI errors made the entire systems as they were intended to run wide open and completely vulnerable.

If this contest was meant to only test the OS, it should have been spelled out as such in the rules.
