Suggestion: could you provide an example submission, which is ideal for what you're looking for except for not being underhanded?
Benefits:
- More approachable to mess around with for newbies -- download the example and try to break it.
- More likely that you'll get submissions from experts who have time to implement the underhanded part but may not get around to putting together the boilerplate.
- More likely that submissions will get the general task right and look similar for parts that don't matter, making for easier review.
Drawbacks:
- Potential for too many cookie cutter submissions.
- Might lead people away from thinking about alternate server designs that are more underhanded.
Mostly I think this might be worth doing because of the second benefit -- you're asking people to do a bunch of grunt work even after they've figured out the core underhanded technique.
- erickt 10y agoThat's a wonderful idea! I filed [1] to track it. I meant to do something like this, but it got lost in the shuffle prepping for the announcement. We'll publish one in a future blog post. [1]: https://github.com/rust-community/underhanded.rs/issues/9 https://github.com/rust-community/underhanded.rs/issues/9
