Comments about the PhDays CTF

• We think that our first CTF went fantastic!  :-)
  • We should be proud of ourselves!!!!

• Repository of tools: VMs, IDA Pro, Windows, Burp,
  • There's a few servers and shared storage here at Tech Inc
  • (Wizzup administers it.) - it's not really safe though. We're better off maintaining our own infra
  • We can run our own server w/ Etherpad, etc…
  • If I can't get a server, we can rent a VPS for 15 Euros/year.
  • Several people also have their own VPS systems and/or VMs

• We need to structure the Etherpad better
  • We should setup our own Etherpad
  • You can create an Etherpad manager
  • We should archive the pads somehow in either case…

• Coordination
  • We should make a quick inventory of what challenges are available, and what skills they require
  • We should put our name next to the challenge that we're working on
  • IRC also helps with coordination
  • We could write up a quick skills DB of who knows what
  • Then we could use IRC to ask people if they can work on something
  • If you go to sleep, or are unavailable, put your partial results in the Etherpad

• knuffelhackers.nl - who owns it? Can we use it?

• Archiving
  • A git repository helps (for challenges almost solved, pads, etc…)

• Private mailing list and IRC, for single individual CTFs
  • A password protected IRC channel is low-hanging fruit

• It's also nice to have a blog for posting write-ups afterwards

Other stuff

• Brainsmoke should give a presentation on his taint tracker some evening
