This sounds quite interesting.
What you win, I don't know, but I can see a fair few of the crappy hosts going down, Freeola are pretty big so it will be interesting to see what happens...
And seeeing how Bargainhost got attacked a few months ago, I see them as potential target.
Now I'm not an expert on web security, but with 20,000 people trying, lets say 19,000 of them are little 11 year olds trying to 'hack' by entering random passwords, that leaves us with 1,000 people who know what they're doing...
It will be interesting.
And I want the people from Freeola to listen because I got loads of games and stuff up on my webspace and I don't want to have to upload them all again because:
a) It will take aaaaages
b) I haven't got them anymore!
*waits*

Interesting read.
Hopefully your site won't get caught up in it.

One thing I can say for bargainhosts, after their attack they've stepped up and made their service so much better.
Still, hope Freeola take the right steps. Might ensure I've got things backed up on my own PC though, just in case.
I still don't get this 'try to crack as many web servers as possible' stuff though.

I saw this thing on hackers once. They say they do it for to stop stuff the disagree with.
Complete b*llocks!
They're like mutants, one of them who claims to attack servers was some fat biatch with green hair!
Suppose it's just the rush.
But, what do they actually win!??

'geek of the yea' or something stupid like that.
But of course doing it because they don't agree with something is pure crap. I was really angry at the anti-war lot who got into bargainhosts, and said because they disagree with the war they have the right to delete my site and pass on their info though my domain .... not a thing that should be allowed all to easily.

.. but the fact that Freeola don't offer SSH access (or whatever it is) is a bonus, as that is how the hackers got to bargainhosts apparently.
Well that's a contest for pathetic losers.

Is the link about the "defacers challenge" this sunday?
Yeah.
Plus if a host liek Freeola has any doubts over their safety, all the have to do is put a notice out that the servers will be down during that time.
I doubt people will moan that much if it's the best way to prevent anything from going wrong...
