DEF CON "Capture the Capture The Flag" Data

Posted by Hemos on from the come-and-analyze dept.

pablos writes "Each year DEF CON hosts the famed Capture The Flag contest. Hackers from all over the world duke it out on the network for 72 hours, hacking for the title. The Shmoo Group diligently logs every packet for posterity, we "Capture the Capture The Flag." Now is your chance to download by far the most interesting, 'sploit ridden, 5.8GB of intrusion collusion ever published. Free for the bandwidth endowed, this is the ultimate IDS testbed."

    Hmm...my favorite was the sinusoidal IP address spoofing. Anyone else?

    Putting a couple of Gigs data on the net and then having the bad luck to be posted on Slashdot is going to mean that their link will be unreachable for most of the day. :-) But hey it will probably make for neat graphs.

    Did you read who these people are? I don't expect acquiring bandwidth is much of a problem, if you know what I mean.

    My favorite trick to get into the server room was to put on an old hard-hat and a fluorescent jacket.

    Yes, my favorite way to get into the server room is to dress up as a member of the Village People, and then wait for some random person to agree to take me into the closet.

    Ghettohackers quite brutally owned my laptop. One of 'em started chatting with me, asked if he could check his email...though I watched the screen, it's always polite to look away when someone types in their password.

    Except when that password is

    notepad c:\flag.txt
    ghi

    Now, at the time I damn near killed someone over that...but I realized pretty quickly it was a damn slick hack. Ask, and ye shall receive. Even from me.

    Microsoft's email client caused some people on the wireless network almost as much grief during blackhat this year. ;-)
