 International  UCSB Sponsored  Application security  ! network security  ! os security  Custom services 2

 About a dozen  Unknown protocol or purpose  Variety of languages  Lots of flaws  Might be  interdependent  encrypted  obfuscated  compiled 3

 Checks services each round  Sets “flags” in services  Updates status page  Receives stolen “flags” 4

5  This is a General Rule  See exact rules on the game day

 Additional tasks for points  Copious  Various difficulty levels  Enough points to count  Adds to confusion 6

7

 Tight teams around services  Responsible for  Patching  Exploiting  Monitoring **  Backing up  Reverting if broken  Challenge chasers  Administrators 8

 Learn, interpret, and explain rules  Prioritize efforts  Keep network running  Keep services up  Patch gapping holes  Submitting flags  Developing exploits **  Challenges  Direct people into groups  Obtain refreshments – GTISC 9

 Learn  Bash, Python, PHP, Perl, Java, JS, C,.Net, MySQL  Reverse engineering, Java decompilation  Build  Network  Tools for quick analysis **  Infrastructure for communication  Practice  Patching services, exploitation  Working as a team? 10

 Everyone  SSH key-based login .ssh/config  SCP or SFTP  SVN or Other VCS 11

host sniffer hostname user ctf identityfile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_sniffer host vuln hostname 10.X.1.3 user root port identityfile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_vuln  Have these keys available prior to the game (practice) 12

 From Hackerz  svn co ▪ User: ctf ▪ Password: wearethew1nningteam!  svn add  svn up  svn ci  svn st  svn diff  svn log  From Vulnerable Image  svn co  svn up  no check in except the initial version

 Service splitter (tcpflow/editcap/custom)  Process monitor/hider (htop/custom-ptrace)  Flag broker (custom)  Traffic rate-limiter (tc)  Top-talkers list (ntop/custom-libpcap)  Service monitor and reporter (custom)  Monitors when a service goes down or up and informs the responsible team  SVN, SSH, Chat room, etc.

 01:00 Receive encrypted VMware image  09:15 Arrive, Eat**, Chat  09:50 Organize into tentative groups  10:00  Receive rules, Receive decryption key  Start image  Back up services on image !!!!!!!  Assign services - reorganize teams  11:00 Start competition  No changes to services before competition

 Expect the unexpected  Some points from 2008: ▪ Key for fake image was “ucsb” ▪ Only attackers were needed ▪ More emphasis on challenges (New languages/ technologies – Haskell, PDF exploit)  Always backup patches / firewall un-patched services  Need for good co-ordination – Chat  Put in your best and keep your cool ! 16

 Who will lead?  What skills do we lack?  How do we get the skills we need?  What tools do we need?  What should we eat?  How should we communicate?  We should organize a practice session, but when, who, how?  Does this serve our primary purpose of preparing you for InfoSec work?
