Nope, it’s not a new product from apple. It’s about an online hacking event organized under my college technical fest which I WON and it feels awesome. It lasted for around 20 days spread across 15 levels which you had to crack up using your hacking skills. I spent overnights to crunch the levels which ranged from the simple user and pass commented in source code to running the almighty brute force scripts on the page. I picked up a few  things like tampering with the HTTP request data as well as SQL injections to get ahead. All in all it was an amazing and nail biting experience for me and I guess I would be suitably rewarded with a cash prize. I’ll definitely be throwing a party to all my friends with this…

Out of excitement I almost forgot the link!!. Here it is

The first person in the leader board is  the admin himself.

Today I realized the need of google in our lives. I heard this song Holy Diver in one of the southpark episode and thought of downloading it. I typed it in the google search bar and boom!! 502 server error. Google taken down. I couldn’t think of anything else to do so came here blogging my way because this is the only site which I can remember by name!!! Oh good, they are back again and with a brand new logo promoting Olympics in Vancouver 2010. Though this was only for like 2 minutes but if this happens for 1 day then we geeks are in some serious jeopardy…

Jeez.. I finally decided to setup my own blog, and just see what a timing I got…right when new year was around the corner. So, goodbye 2008 and welcome 2009.

And oh yeah! A very very HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of ya and have a blast folks!!
