GreenOptic CTF

GreenOptic is my fourth Capture the Flag box. It is rated as ‘Very Hard’ (as per the difficulty matrix). As with all of my CTFs, please run this in ‘Host Only’ mode – it does not need an internet connection.

Don’t let the difficulty put you off though – the CTF is designed to be realistic, so you won’t come across anything you wouldn’t experience in a real environment.

You will need to enumerate this box very well, and likely chain together different bits of information and vulnerabilities in order to gain access.

Synopsis:

British Internet Service Provider GreenOptic has been subject to a large scale Cyber Attack. Over 5 million of their customer records have been stolen, along with credit card information and bank details.

GreenOptic have created an incident response team to analyse the attack and close any security holes. Can you break into their server before they fix their security holes?

You can download GreenOptic here.

Presidential CTF

Presidential is my third Capture the Flag exercise. It is rated as Medium to Hard – I wouldn’t say the exploitation techniques are necessarily difficult on this server, but this box will definitely test your enumeration skills. If you need a hint, feel free to contact me – but enumerate harder first.

Synopsis:

The Presidential Elections within the USA are just around the corner (November 2020). One of the political parties is concerned that the other political party is going to perform electoral fraud by hacking into the registration system, and falsifying the votes.

The state of Ontario has therefore asked you (an independent penetration tester) to test the security of their server in order to alleviate any electoral fraud concerns (I’m aware Ontario isn’t a real US state – this is meant to be fictional). Your goal is to see if you can gain root access to the server – the state is still developing their registration website but has asked you to test their server security before the website and registration system are launched.

This CTF was created and has been tested with VirtualBox. It should also be compatible with VMWare and is DHCP enabled.

You can download the CTF here. I look forward to your feedback.

Write Up’s

A big thanks to 0xatom for doing a write up on this box. If you need help, feel free to read their write up. Though, try harder first. You will find it so much more rewarding if you manage to crack it yourself.
