Use an exploit on vulcan to gain root access: +10% for a local user exploit; +15% for a remote exploit (e.g. breaking in via apache). You must exploit a vulnerability (e.g. buffer overflow) for Ubuntu on vulcan to gain root; that is, you can't steal my laptop while it has an open ssh connection to vulcan to claim the prize. You must write up a short summary of the vulnerability and how you exploited it. (You may use a prepackaged tool for exploitation.) Mail the summary to me for approval and then to the class. Each individual exploit may only be claimed once, and the first to exploit wins. To signal that you have claimed root, modify the message of the day.
