CMS Critic: With over 20,000 customers, the Bitrix Site Manager platform has proven to be a popular content management choice worldwide. Headquartered in Moscow, Russia, this veteran provider has been in the game longer than most, and as such, has had time to finely tune their latest 8.5.1 offering. In late 2001 I tested the Bitrix platform and came away intrigued at the possibilities, so I was anxious to reacquaint myself with the platform nearly eight years later.

More than six hundred Russian hackers have been trying to hack down a server-installed content management software in attempt to get over its sophisticated Proactive Protection system. There had been more than 25,000 attacks recorded and effectively repulsed during the software crash test competition hours. The competition was organized by the Bitrix, Inc. team and Positive Technologies IT experts during the "Chaos Constructions CC9 Festival" that took place on 29-30 August 2009 in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Both the Festival participants and comers from the Internet were instigated to try to evade the Bitrix brand new Proactive Protection security system as part of the "Bitrix Real-Time Hack Competition". The Bitrix, Inc. team claimed their advanced content management system software can withstand a most aggressive hack attack.
The Festival competitors and the Internet comers got a leg-up, though: the Proactive Protection security system (WAF / Web Application Firewall Plus) had been to some extent modified before the competition in advance, just to be a little bit more "vulnerable". The point of this hack competition was to gain more examples for analyzing common mistakes made by site developers and to show how the new security system shield works in action.
