you were tasked to use Linux
terminal commands to answer questions in a “Capture the Flag” (CTF) style format.
For this project, your task is to create a bash shell script and associated
documentation that will create a small set of Linux OS CTF-like challenges/puzzles.
a. Part 1: Create a bash shell script named [login to view URL] that,
when executed as root privileges, will install a set of challenges/puzzles on
the Linux system upon which it is run.
i. The script sets up the challenge environment by creating user
accounts, directories, and files; by setting permissions and passwords;
by configuring/starting services, etc.
ii. Then, once the script completes execution, the puzzles can be
attempted.
iii. The shell script provides portability; that is, it can be copied onto any
Linux system, executed, and then the challenges can be attempted.
iv. You script should create at least four challenges of increasing
difficulty (one easy; one moderate difficulty; and one difficult).
v. The challenges should test a user’s knowledge of the Linux OS,
terminal commands, etc. and their problem-solving skills.
b. Part 2: Create a plain-text document called [login to view URL]
with a set of questions (one question per challenge) to help guide the user in
solving the challenges.
i. The answer to each question should be a flag (e.g., a hash value).
ii. For each question, the document should also have the answer to the
question.
iii. For each question, the document should describe a walkthrough of
how the puzzle can be solved.
iv. Your document should also contain installation instructions for the
script: where to place the script; how to execute the script; etc.
v. Your document should also contain any special instructions for
playing the challenges (e.g., challenges require ssh login).
3. A significant portion of your grade will be based on the cleverness and uniqueness of
each challenge (compared to your classmates). Thus, I do not expect to see many, if
any, challenges that are similar to each other.
a. Each of your challenges should be distinct; that is, from each other.
b. Your challenges should be distinct from those of other students; though do
not coordinate with other students to ensure that they are different.
c. Your challenges should be distinct from those that you saw on the midterm
exam.
4. Ideas for challenges:
a. One or more challenge might rely on a previous challenge. For example,
each challenge is contained within a separate user account and the flag of
the previous question is the password for the next user account.
b. Perhaps design a problem with an intended security flaw (e.g., permissions
set incorrectly) so that the challenge is to “hack” the account). The security
flaw should not be so obvious that it fails even a cursory test. Also, other
than the intended flaw, you should work to make sure that each challenge
cannot be solved easily by some unanticipated approach.
c. Perhaps one or more challenges require remote access to the system
through ssh or web browser. In this case, your script should have started
the proper server and, if necessary, modified the system firewall to allow
remote connections (see the textbook for details).
d. Take a look at [login to view URL] for some other
ideas.
