Christmas Story Skillz Challenge Results
The results to the Christmas (Hacking) Story Skillz Challenge have been posted at The Ethical Hacker Network . I had hoped that my answer was sufficient enough to win top prize. Alas, it was not. I did, however, get honorable mention in the Creative category which pleases me very much.
This was my first attempt at the Skillz Challenges and I had a great time coming up with my answer. I am looking forward to the future challenges hopefully I will be able to pull in a prize one day. But for now I am very pleased with the knowledge I have obtained from this challenge.
I was also very glad to see the Ed posted his recommendations for solving the challenge. This is an important aspect of teaching we should all take note of for our own training sessions. Providing the solution and alternative methods of achieving the same goal will help everybody involved improve by expanding their current knowledge and skill sets.
Great job, Ed. We are waiting patiently for the next challenge.
Go forth and do good things,
Cutaway

Hello. I also posted the solution I submitted on my blog: http://hype-free.blogspot.com/2007/01/hacker-challenge-over.html
Unfortunately I didn’t catch the fact that chimney is a named pipe
Also, you might want to check your RSS feed, because I Google Reader it shows me not just one item per entry, but several posts together with the comments which is very confusing.

Cd-MaN,
Thanks for you comment and for posting you response. I’ll definitely check it out today.
I am aware that I am having a problem with my RSS2 feed and I am currently looking into it. I didn’t realize it was affecting the Google Reader but I am aware that it is affecting my iTunes feed. So, hopefully I’ll get a fix soon. When I do I will post it for others.
Keep up the good work!
Go forth and do good things,
Cutaway
