So, my last giveaway generated quite a bit of content both on the thread and on the forum. Both staff and members seemed to love the idea, and in the process I was able to get rid of some hardware that was cluttering up my drawers. Well, I have good news for you, I've run low on space yet again.

This time, I will be giving away a MSI 970 GAMING motherboard. I replaced this motherboard in my main build for two reasons:
1. One of the locks on the DRAM slots is broken (it still works, you just have to make sure you put the card in perfectly level)
2. I upgraded my PC to use NVMe drives, and I wanted a motherboard with native support.

Here's a picture:


I learned a lot from the last contest as well, so I'll be revising the rules.

I have two questions about these two points:

[*]You must write high quality tutorials to receive chances
[*]YOU must post links to your tutorials in this thread

Do I have to post the tutorial links as a separate reply or do I have to edit this entry?
Are the tutorials done in the past eligible for chances?

Welcome to the contest.

You can post them in separate posts or edit your entry. At the end of the contest I'll be taking all of the posts linked in this thread that are made after the start date
No. The intent is to increase activity on the site, to be valid they have to be created after the contest began

I'm not entirely certain that qualifies as high quality, since none of that content is your own

I just wrote a "high quality" tutorial on backdooring an openssh server.
Link: https://sinister.li/Thread-Tutorial-Back...SSH-server

The purpose of this tutorial was to show how easy it is to add your own code to open-source software, make people aware of the dangers of backdoors and teach how to add backdoors to open-source software.

Oooooh, very good addition, I love it. I replied to that thread with a method of improving the attack, making it possible to do on iOS, MacOS, and high security versions of linux as well

Great giveaway! Hopefully it inspires a few people to make more threads.
