Maybe that's one of the attack vectors we are supposed to discover ourselves; trigger a kernel panic?

Please don't trigger a kernel panic in one of the stock exchanges; you're on a server with many other actual humans even if they're not hooked up to your stock exchange. More guidance on "bugs you should not attempt to exploit" versus "Things which are totally in scope" at a later date -- Thomas is writing it.

I suspect breaking out the simulated world into the real world will become an interesting meta-challenge, whether you like it or not :).

Maybe provide a public QA server for people who are interested in that as another "game". "Can you break our stock exchange?"

Dumb idea. If you can trigger a kernel panic, you can do things much more interesting than triggering a kernel panic.
