One thing, even tho you have posted it here, and you probably are who you say
you are, and you probably DO own that box, without a signed letter in
writing, someone hacking in could still get in deep cacka for doing so...
You are better off to try to get a group together that wants to do this, get
a letter from your ISP, and give the guys written authorization to perform a
'security audit' ..
And posting an open letter like that usually draws the script kiddies, so
watch out for your bandwidth.. Might get you disconnected from your ISP if it
gets crazy...
Having said that, you can expect to find most easily opened doors that way,
but the real expert hackers usually don't go after a box like this, because
they know there is no advantage.. If they are going to spend days hacking a
box, the experts will probably go after a bank instead of someone who has a
little ol' box somewhere on the network,.....
But have fun with it..
Might be nice if you wrote an article to the list afterwards on what attacks
were used most often, how many people tried, how many differnet IP's were
used.. etc...
