Ok, randomly came up with the idea of having a one on one wargame where people can sign up to challenge a staff member who volunteers for the wargame.

Requirements: two .iso's identical to eachother, both having a webserver with a site and several processes running. Both boxes will have files with unique encrypted passwords that can be stolen and decrypted to instantly win the wargame (they can only be access as root). The decrypted message must be sent to a referee as soon as possible.

Example mission: both receive a mission statement, stating that the defender must,

A) keep their webserver online and all pages intact
B) all their original processes must stay active and functioning without problems at the end of the wargame
C) Defend from incoming attacks

Attacker must:

A) Attack and try to disrupt two key functions
- The webserver
- processes running on the box
B) Although the attacker's mission is to attack he/she can also be attacked so defence is also a task.

Attacker gains points for attacks such as defaces, root access etc and loose points for deleting files impeding the running of the box itself, dos attacks etc. When a target number of points has been reached before the timelimit runs out the attacker has won.

Either person can try to gain root access and try and find the file mentioned earlier, however they will not be in the same place.



This Idea is nice and simple and pretty simple to run. Just make copies of iso's, no need to download multiples and install the tools that you (the organisers wish before hand, on both machines of course).

Random idea and not sure if you'll all like it but it's something different :)
