This isn’t really related to any of our topics, but we thought we would let our fellow Filipinos have a crack at this. We have some of the best hackers out there, so let’s try. If you haven’t heard, the PS3 is hard to get these days. They are being sold on Ebay for 3-6 times their actual cost.

There’s a website that is having a contest. Just hack their website, replace the above picture, and announce your hack to win a PS3.

You must do a “clean” hacking job : no DOS, no “dirty” attack which saturate the internet tubes. Moreover, do not attack other machines located in the same subnetwork.

In order to provide evidence of your success, you will have to replace the image above:

with the JPEG image located in the root user’s home directory, inside the “ps3_challenge” subfolder.
In addition you will have to announce your victory in this discussion thread in the ACBM forum (don’t worry, you can post in english), at the same time you will have to send a mail to SHIMPINOMORI. (in case of ex-aequo, the winner will be the one whose mail to SHIMPNOMORI will have arrived first). You will also have to put a text file with you name and postal address in the root user’s home directory, inside the “ps3_challenge” subfolder.
NO OTHER ALTERATION OF THIS PS3′S FILES IS PERMITTED.

Once your victory is homologated, your Playstation 3 will be sent (free of charge) via EMS International to your postal address, during the month of january 2007.

What are you waiting for? The contest ends on January, so hurry up. Someone in the third world should have the PS3. The third worlD makes all these electronic products anyway right… So good luck all you Filipino Hackers… Make us proud.
