263's Computer Hacking Competition

[SeanCassidy]

Hello everyone. A few of my fellow teammates and I want to put together a little wargame (not unlike roothack) where we would have two boxes on a lan and hack each others computers. We're not positive on every detail yet, but here's what he have so far that we're not going to change.

-Two (or possible more) computers on a lan. One gateway box to ssh into. The game might be like roothack's in where you get a certain amount of time to secure your box (the grace period) and then the open season begins after that.
-The OS will be Linux, although the distro is not decided (it may even be random). This is unmutable.
-Three team members max.

Other ideas we've thrown together:

-Write an vulnerable network service running as root that you can exploit as well.
-If the competition stalemates (no hacking being done) forced opening of various services.

If you have any ideas, we're pretty open. We just want this to be a fun learning experience for everyone involved. Hopefully we'll make this a regular thing. Ideally, your team should have experience in programming for Linux, in securing boxes, and even exploit writing. This idea needs to be thought out a lot more fully, so we need your help. Post here for additions, and PM me with your e-mail if you're interested.
