Imagine one Linux/Apache web server, a bunch of laptops attacking it
over a free-for-all wireless network, visual traffic analysis on big
screen projectors, some DJs, and $1500 in prizes for the team judged
as best defender.
Imagine the competition organized as a community event and held at a local coffeehouse.
Imagine the look on the faces of the people with a wireless LAN next door…
The first “Linux Top Gun” competition was held on September 6th at
Mojo’s Daily Grind, with six teams participating and over 250 people
attending. As reported in Xlent by John Ratliff: “Imagine that, as a
wargame, the U.S. Army occupied an actual city and then issued an open
invitation for anyone, anywhere, to try and take it from them, and
you’ll have some idea of what Friday’s shootout entailed.” There
was so much buzz that Mojo’s ran out of beer and other establishments
on The Drag reported a “quiet evening”.
THE CONTINUATION MATCH will be held at Mojo’s on October 11 at 8:00 pm
and the public is invited. The event is produced by Famous Aspect,
co-sponsored by Austin Community College, Symbiot Security,
SXSW/Interactive, North Shore Circuit Design, and Mojo’s Daily Grind,
with artwork by Anita Pantin and postering by Motorblade.
We’re starting earlier this time, at 8:00 pm. We’ve got a monster
network designed by co-sponsor Symbiot Security. We’ve got more
projectors so the audience can view comfortably. Most importantly,
we’ve got competitors ready to engage in combat: Team Fantastic Four,
Team Wiretap, Team Austin 2600, Team Prime Target, Team Evil Mutants,
Team Forrest.
