Rules of the 'PSC Hacking Challenge':



You can win in one of two ways:

 
If you can modify this submission in any way other than 
 through normal functions given to all site users (i.e. change the # of votes 
 without voting, change the submission title, contents, etc.) then you will win 
 a copy of the Planet Source Code CD.

 
 
If you can hack the login system and login as a user other 
 than yourself.  (Note that simply creating 
 multiple logins with multiple email addresses doesn't count--anyone can do 
 that!)  To win the Cd, your exploit has to 
 allow you to login as someone else whose account was created with an email 
 address that you don't have access to.

To win the CD you must:
1) Report privately to me how you got around security.  
Send your email to 
[email protected] (note:remove the 'nospam' from the name...that 
is there just to fool email name harvesters)..
2) You can brag about it all you want...but please NOT before 
I've had time to patch the site and post up the new code!
3) You must not hack anything other than this submission. Submissions and feedback/comments are moderated, so you can't hack the site that way anyway. Please don't increase the moderators' work unnecessarily by posting "fake" submissions or feedback/comments.

4) One CD will be awarded to the first discoverer of each 
security hole.
Thanks for helping to make Planet Source Code as secure as it 
can be!
