==Format==
Messing with others' vulnerable servers, patching the existing vulnerable system, and reverse-engineering and re-implementing the not-too-complicated server will all be options.
The servers vulnerable service will be intended for a BackTrack based virtual machine imagesimage. ==Rules==* Read the university's acceptable use policy.* Obey the university's acceptable use policy.* Do not red pill or otherwise break out of virtual machines.* Technical measures may be implemented by the judges to mitigate excessive network traffic. ==Suggested Configuration==It is highly recommended to only access the wired competition with a virtual machine and not connect the virtual machine directly to the Internet.* [[VirtualBox]] running a BackTrack based virtual machine bridged to your Ethernet card.* Host machine connected via WiFi to the Internet.* Single, isolated, read-only shared folder between host machine and virtual machine for extra tools.
