SX Party This Friday
9 March, 2010 - 11:10 — RaTThis Friday (March 12, 2010) will be the first SX gathering in almost 10 years! An open invitation has been extended to all VIP and Crew members. The event will be starting at 6pm at a private location in the state of Indiana. We will start out with a few speeches and then move into the night with inspiring music from some of the hottest European club artists. Enjoy a night where social restrictions are left at the door and you can feel free to be your self without judgment. We will be playing electronic dance music - including house, trance, goa, ambient and techno with the accompaniment of laser light shows, projected images and some special guests. If you are interested in this event, please contact RaT.
The Restoration of SOLDIERX - Return to Greatness
19 February, 2010 - 13:36 — RaTFirst off, I would like to thank everybody that has been contributing to our forums. I've enjoyed reading some of the discussions that have been going on. Secondly, I would like to welcome Pirrup and Kayin into the High Council. They have really proven to be invaluable assets to our group, so the time has come to give them a voice in the direction that we are going. In order to restore the power of SX, myself and sn4ggl3 have formed a new ranking known as the "New Order". The purpose is to restore SX to its former glory with the most skilled members. In order to join the New Order, a member of the High Council has to pass a series of extreme tests related to exploitation and security. Through the formation of this new sect, myself and sn4ggl3 are able to break away and focus on the most complex problems needed for the group's success. By adding highly skilled members such as Kayin and Pirrup to the High Council, we are increasing the value of the High Council voting system.
Structural Changes to SOLDIERX, New Recruit Status
4 February, 2010 - 18:53 — RaTAs many of you probably already know, we have been working hard to make SOLDIERX more organized and efficient. Our previous addition of inductee status did wonders for getting fresh talent in the group. Unfortunately, it has suffered in the same way that our previous membership suffered - a few really unproductive individuals are able to cause everybody to want to slack off. Based on traffic analysis, it seems that these unproductive inductees were simply using their inductee status to gain access to restricted content without having to pay any dues, such as VIP costs. The high council has thought long and hard about how to solve this problem, and we have finally come up with a solution. Our solution is the new recruit status. It enables people to join the group in a "recruitment" phase where their only additional perk is the ability to add certain types of content to the site.
The Return of CriticalMass
2 February, 2010 - 14:18 — RaTCriticalMass has returned from the ashes of yesteryear to rejoin the ranks of the SX Crew. His initial plans are to write some tutorials for the site. He is also working to drive more traffic to the site. For anybody who doesn't know, CriticalMass was part of the group circa 2003 and was the first member to give a speech at Defcon. He also has been mentioned in books such as The Art of Intrusion by Kevin Mitnick. Welcome back!
New Records Set in January 2010, Adsense Added
1 February, 2010 - 10:37 — RaTGreetings to everybody in the world of the wired. I am very happy to announce that we have broken all previous site hit records with a record 1,295,063 hits for the month of January 2010. A year ago in January 2009, we only had 168,293 hits. I think that it's safe to say that we're on a full fledged comeback. While our ranks and projects are growing rapidly, we could still use more help. If you have a unique set of technical skills, consider joining us. If you just enjoy using the site, please consider becoming a VIP member. If you're a VIP member, please test out our early releases of Agent Steal and SX OFACE and let us know what we can do to improve them.
Sn4ggl3 Reconsiders Not Voting, SX OFACE Released to VIP
30 January, 2010 - 12:47 — RaTSn4ggl3 re-read the tutorials and decided that EverestX really put some effort behind his tutorials. He also felt that the hacking nature of the tutorials was supportive of one of the main points of SOLDIERX - gaining access to information. Because of this, Sn4ggl3 has awarded EverestX all of his points (total of 15). I have also reconsidered my decision and given EverestX my remaining 3 points. This puts EverestX as 29 points and gives him third place. In other news, SX OFACE was released to VIP members. If you are VIP, please download and test it today. COSCstudent needs feedback!
