Ethical Hacker Skillz Challenge - My Answer

I’m not sure how I happened across the Ethical Hacker site, but there was a "skillz" challenge that had recently been posted by Ed Skoudis and Mike Poor of Intelguardians --both are SANS instructors . The challenge is called " Hack Bill! " and was a fun little story about how O-ren Ishii hacked Bill’s server and took over a large botnet. There were going to be two winners based on their submission, one technically correct and one creative while still being technically correct . I chose to write mine in an effort to win the creative portion. Unfortunately, I didn’t win, but if you have time, take a look at my submission compared to the winners above and let me know what you think.
