Welcome, welcome! The time has come to select one courageous young hacker for the honor of representing District 12 in the 74th annual Hacker Games! And congratulations, for you have been selected as tribute!

Hacking games and CTF’s are a lot of fun; who doesn’t like pitting your skills against the gamemakers and having a free pass to break into things?

But watch out, as you will find out, some games are more dangerous than others. I have talked about counterattacks here before, and this system has implemented a number of aggressive anti-hacker measures.

In fact, this VM is downright evil. I am probably legally obligated to tell you that it will try to hack you. So if a calculator or message declaring your pwnedness pops up or shows up on your desktop, you asked for it. But don’t worry, it won’t steal your docs or rm you, it will just demonstrate compromise for the game.

To save precious bandwidth, this has been implemented in a minimal tinycore-based VM, and will require VirtualBox to run. But vbox is free – you can download it here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to add nearly all the things I wanted to, so there are really just a few challenges, a couple of counterhacks, and about 10 memes to conquer. Depending on your skill level, you could pwn (or be pwned) in just a few minutes or in a few hours. So hack it before it hacks you!

No sponsors are necessary, so don’t light yourself on fire. Simply download the evil VM here: TheHackerGames.zip, start it, and open up http://localhost:3000/ to begin. Now, you can totally cheat since you own the VM, but see if you can beat the challenges without cheating. Then you can go ahead and cheat, which should also be fun – you’re probably comfortable with many physical access attacks involving the hard disk, but this system doesn’t use a hard disk. So enjoy and remember…

May the odds be ever in your favor!

A free open-source self-contained training environment for Web Application Security penetration testing. Tools + Targets = Dojo

What?

Various web application security testing tools and vulnerable web applications were added to a clean install of Ubuntu v10.04.2, which is patched with the appropriate updates and VM additions for easy use.

Why?

The Web Security Dojo is for learning and practicing web app security testing techniques. It is ideal for self-teaching and skill assessment, as well as training classes and conferences since it does not need a network connection. The Dojo contains everything needed to get started – tools, targets, and documentation.

Where?

Download Web Security Dojo from http://sourceforge.net/projects/websecuritydojo/files/ .

How?

To install Dojo you first install and run VirtualBox 3.2 or later, then “Import Appliance” using the Dojo’s OVF file. We have PDF or YouTube for instructions for Virtualbox. As of version 1.0 a VMware version is also provided, as well as video install instructions

Who?

Sponsored by Maven Security Consulting Inc (performing web app security testing & training since 1996). Also, could be you! Web Security Dojo is an open source and fully transparent project, with public build scripts and bug trackers on Sourceforge .

DISCLAIMER

By using this virtual machine, you agree that in no event will we be liable for any loss or damage including without limitation, indirect or consequential loss or damage, or any loss or damage whatsoever arising from loss of data or profits arising out of or in connection with the use of this software.

TL;DR - You are about to load up a virtual machine with vulnerabilities created by hackers. If something bad happens, it's not our fault.

ABOUT

Persistence aims to provide you with challenging obstacles that block your path to victory. It is perhaps best described by quotes made by some famous people:

"A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success." - Calvin Coolidge

"Energy and persistence conquer all things." - Benjamin Franklin

"Persistence and resilience only come from having been given the chance to work though difficult problems." - Gever Tulley

GOAL

Get a root shell and read the contents of /root/flag.txt to complete the challenge!

SETUP

The virtual machine will get an IP address via DHCP, and it has been tested on the following hypervisors:

VMware Fusion 6 VMware Player 6 VMware Workstation 10 VirtualBox 4.3

SHOUT OUTS

Thanks @VulnHub for kindly hosting this challenge, and thanks to @recrudesce for testing it and providing valuable feedback!
