SOLDIERX.COM Nobody Can Stop Information Insemination

Recently, RaT brought it to my attention that in the past year we have not received very many unique tutorials. To me, this is one of the a rather unfortunate development cause I personally considered that part of the site to be a good example of the mantra that 'Nobody Can Stop Information Insemination.' In addition, a large number of the tutorials is information that from what I have seen is already widely available such as overclocking hardware. The second development in particular has older members of this community such as myself very disappointed.

Please click here and cast your vote for the 2010 Wallpaper Contest. Voting will be open until 01-15-2011. All of the wallpaper entries are listed on the contest page. Thank you to everybody that submitted artwork for the contest. I wish everybody the best of luck.

Voting will open for the 2010 Tutorial Contest once all of the tutorials are collected for it. Looking at the data for the tutorial contest, we may be canceling 2nd and 3rd places. This is due to both the lack of entries and the lack of security/hacking/cracking related tutorials.

Happy New Year everybody. We had a great year in 2010 and we look forward to an even better year in 2011. We ended the year strong by setting a new record of hits in a single month at 2,436,524. Last December we had 826,516 hits and last January we set a new record with 1,295,063 hits. We hope to have more visitors, more releases, and a larger crew in 2011.

Our first holiday release is a public release. Initially we were intending to release wdivulge to VIP only, but Blake felt that it should have a public release. The tool is for web bruteforcing and is commonly referred to as a web fusker. Please check it out at http://www.soldierx.com/sxlabs/wdivulge

Keep checking back for our next Holiday release

We asked for the community's opinion and the community has spoken. The VIP Cost Poll has ended and the majority felt that VIP donation requirement should increase. The final votes were 35 votes for VIP to go back to $20, 83 votes for it to stay at $30, and 117 votes for it to increase. I appreciate the community voicing that our VIP only section is worth a larger donation than $30. Effective immediately, lifetime VIP will require a one time $40 donation to the site. Anybody who already has VIP is not required to donate anything additional, but it will be greatly appreciated if you decide to.

With the Wallpaper and Tutorial Contests coming to a close soon, we need more submissions! We have only had 6 people submit wallpapers to our 2010 Wallpaper Contest and we have only had 1 person submit a tutorial to our 2010 Tutorial Contest. At this point, the next two people who submit to our 2010 Tutorial Contest could be guaranteed for second or third place. This is an excellent opportunity to win some cash, a laptop, a SOLDIERX shirt, or at the least free VIP access. Come on people, send in those submissions!

SOLDIERX proudly presents the official 2010 Tutorial Contest. Just like last year, we are going to end this contest on new years rather than December 1st. This gives everybody an extra month to work on their tutorials. Rather than having a single winner this year, we will actually have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places with much better prices! The prizes are as follows:

1st Place - Used Dell Inspiron 1150 (go here for stats) or $10 * the number of quality tutorials submitted (so 10 quality tutorials would be $100) and a SOLDIERX T-Shirt + VIP combo.

2nd Place - SOLDIERX T-Shirt + VIP Combo

3rd Place - SOLDIERX VIP

I know we're a bit late on announcing this (I was out of town), but Phrack 67 has been released. Please go to http://www.phrack.org/ and check it out. As always, it's a good read for anybody that's interested in hacking and exploitation. We are still working out details of the tutorial contest, but we are nearly finished. We plan to release the details this week. If you are planning on entering, you may want to go ahead and get started on your tutorial.

Should users have to donate more or less than $30 for lifetime VIP membership to our site? With 2011 coming around the corner, we'd really like to know what the community thinks about VIP. In the beginning of 2010, VIP membership required a donation of $20 or more. We eventually took a poll and listened to our community by increasing the donation to $30. How exclusive should VIP become? The decision is up to you!

Please vote at https://www.soldierx.com/polls/What-do-you-think-about-VIP-membership-an...

The poll will close in 4 weeks. The donation amount for VIP will be changed based on the outcome of this poll.
