Evilzone competitions/challanges
« on: June 13, 2011, 07:51:23 pm »
Hi,


I was thinking, we could create something fun for our members and for the developers of this system(s); A offical Evilzone challange / copetition servers(s).

Basiclly, I had a bit to much on my hands yesterday and ended up wathing like 20 defcon 18 videos on youtube. Some here might be fermiliar with it, some might not. But there is this compo thingy at defcon called oCFT. Ill give you the rundown:

Staff make "services" which is challanges, can be anything. Unreal or real. There have to be multiple levels(well, not nessecerely, but this is the typical service anyway) that gets harder and harder. oCTF got the catch-the-flag policy: The person or and group who completes a challange will get their name and score on that service/challange or something like that. To be honest I dont want to go into more details, simply becaise I dont know allot more about their setup.

Anyway, I was thinking we could do something like it. We can either let it run 24/7/365 or make it run a few weeks a month so we get a winner(s) every month.

Basiclly all we need is a few people, like 4-5 people, not included myself. That is willing to write a couple of ideas/services that does some freaky challanges and gives score/points to the person and or group who completes it.

Ill supply servers, no worries.

What you guys things? I am open for ideas and suggestions.

One think I thought up was the problem of how to distinguish the different competitors and groups: Simple, we make a centralized server that keeps track of score and contestents IP's. So the challange servers will know who complete the challange by looking up the IP that completed it on the centralized server. So take part in the compos, you have to send in your IP on a webpage with name, groupname and forum nick or IRC nick or something like that.

Sorry if there is allot of typos in this post, I dont got my firefox spell checker atm :P

Ok, so I assume it should be web-stuff, therefore PHP/SQL is needed :(
I could probably think of something to code :P

Nah, we cant only do web based. I would like to see multiple telnet-ish challanges to!

And challanges can be anything from real-life-scenarioish to total stupidity like cryptography, decrypting a random string thingy

I think we should have multiple challanges like crypt/decryption /w hashes, web-security, breaking into stuff, coding (obvious) and such tho I think it would be hard to code a project like this.. but I also think it would be good if it's on 24/7/365 because of timezones, journeys w/e-.

And I also think it should have (in some way) different degrees of difficulty so everyone could join the movement.

EDIT: I just wanted to update with the facts that it would be awesome if the challanges had a countdown to pump up the adrenaline! :-)

Oh I love decrypting shit. Hmmm how about this, pulled it out off a txt file on my computer.

Code: [Select]
The key is NOTEPAD and you should number it alphabetically.

S5h1v
3y5uf
5u427
h3k3y

Will Equal???

The challanges should involve pretty much anything hackish related. As you said, crypto stuff, web stuff, service stuff, reversing and more.

If we let the challange(s) run for like 2 weeks each month, I cant see how timezones will play any role. And in order to have a countdown, we have to stop the challange(s) at some point.

Also, note that anyone can theoreticly join this and make challanges, therefore the difficuly level will be from easy to hard to insane. And I was not thinking one server only, that would be to easy to fuck up. We need a couple at least.

I guess this is a good idea. And I love it! But I want to ask if you can place the "solution" to the challenge, after it's finished, online. Because I don't know all about hacking...


So the challenge is let's say 2 weeks. In the first 2 weeks of the month the challenge is active, then we have 2,5 / 3 weeks to make a new challenge and you can place the solution or guide online how you could finish the challenge if you couldn't on your on?


:D

What about some kind of a system that would give some hints? we could make a standalone app that would randomly get a hint from the list of hints on some server for the challenge?

Or we could just have a web interface for hints. And give out hints if people fail to complete some challanges. And we can give out hints when we are reaching the end of the challange time so beginners can get some good tips.

You could after a group wins have them go against each other on the same problem, against the clock.
The winner could get VIP status?

Nope, you may he good, or even an professional. But vip is a status of pure trust, who you have to win over time. Thesame as we are going to ask for donations, we are not selling vip. 
Maybe a winner status.

You will get a little something in your profile, nothing much. Maybe we will expand the prices later. But keep in mind this is a Evilzone first time, so we gotta start out nice and easy :P
