Reward is now 5 BTC for a successful hack. See the winner link on the homepage at http://www.h4xcomp.com/ for details on the successful tactic.
I was looking at the details page, and one conclusion you came to was that bitcoind running as root was more secure than bitcoind running as www-data. However, I don't think either is correct; bitcoind should run as its own user in its own group for the most ideal security. The reason is that if somehow it became possible to cause the bitcoind process to execute arbitrary code via some kind of exploit, it would be contained inside the dedicated user and group (theoretically), instead of being allowed to run rampant as root.

I am fairly sure it doesn't need root privileges to run, but if it does you can then use a chroot jail for the best security.

Good point, I will update it with this info. Sounds obvious now you say it, good to get these things sorted out now rather than later. Thanks for picking that up and posting.

Nice one! I hope you'll have a lot of success, letting people hack your site is the best way to gain experience!

Also, I'll be watching it closely, I'm looking forward to another round (and looking around for other exploits silently :-))

The second round was a quick one - the server has been hacked. Once the prize is claimed, standby for round 3. This one was a bit of a giveaway, but glad to have done so.

Is there going to be another contest?

Introducing constraints to the economy only serves to limit what can be economical.

Yeah there will definitely be more comps, but probably not for at least a couple of months yet. I've been working like crazy on a product, one which will actually earn me money. For now h4xcomp has helped me learn what I needed, so unfortunately priorities means it has been put on the backburner until I have more time for it.
