Louisville InfoSec CTF 2009
This video summarizes one possible way contestants could
have completed the Capture The Flag event at the
2009 Louisville Infosec. Tools
and concepts used in the video include: Backtrack 4, Kismet Newcore, Nmap,
Metasploit, Meterpreter, Firefox, SQL Injection, Cain, Truecrypt and 7zip.
The winning team was comprised of Rel1k (Dave Kennedy),
Pure-Hate, Archangel, and Titan. Yes, Dave did compromise my personal laptop
during the event, teaches me for not mitigating 0 days before the conference. :)
When Archangel told me he was bringing Dave in for his team, I knew which way
thing were going to go down. Rel1k and Purehate are Backtrack 4 developers, and
Archangel and Titan are no slouches either. Congrats guys. Here is Dave's writeup of the event:

Thanks to Ben Thomas for the photos.
The admins try to run their network as a tight ship, but you
have been brought in to do a pentest. You know the admins have a Truecrypt
volume out there with Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Your goal is to
find it, and decrypt its contents till you get a list of names and Social
Security Numbers. Little hints will be given via a comment wall on one of the
web servers. To win points bring proof to the judge that the particular flag
task has be completed. These are the "flags", and their point values:
0. Attach to the Wireless network (hint:CTF is in the name) and show the judge
how you got the SSID. 15 points
(Name will be given if you can't find it, but you won't be able to get points
for it.)
1. Find the IP of the of the Windows box named WinCTF owned by IronGCorp, and
list 3 or more open ports. 5 points
2. Find the IP of the x86 based Linux box ran by IronGCorp, and list 2 or more
open ports. 5 points
3. What box are the admins running their Intranet site on, and what is the web
server type/version? 5 point
4. What is the Windows box's (WinCTF) Administrator password? 10 points
5. What is the x86 Linux box's Root password? 5 points
6. Copy PII.tc (a true crypt volume) to your box. 10 points
7. Password to the PII.tc file. 10 points
8. Password to a non x86 based Linux box. 10 points
9. Password to a 7zip archive. 10 points
10 The decrypted PII.csv file. 25 points
Highest point score at the end of the game wins. If two
contestants have the same points at the end of the game, the first to accumulate
their point total wins. Obviously, if you play as part of a team you have to
figure out amongst yourselves how to split the prize. The winner will get up on
stage and explain what he did when he picks up his prize.
