OpenHack III Begins

Another hacker challenge has begun, OpenHack III, this one headed up by Argus Systems Group, makers of the security software PitBull. The prize, a bit more grand than a book, is $50,000 to any hacker who can penetrate a PitBull-protected system, which the company says is virtually inpenetrable. The Associated Press reports the contest consists of four separate assignments, prizes going to the one who completes each first, and a grand prize for the first to complete all four.
