Need suggestions for increasing vulnerability
Hey everyone, thanks for reading. I need recommendations for stuff I can put on an Arch box that make it SIGNIFICANTLY more vulnerable to 'spoiting. The idea is this: I'm throwing a party with a computer CTF challenge. The box in question will be plugged in to a 24 port switch that doesn't have internet access. Everyone else will connect to this switch and go to town.
So far I'm going to put on it:
Kusaba
SSH
httpd
mysql
tftp
Any suggestions would be helpful!

Re: Need suggestions for increasing vulnerability
Not sure if I understand your post right. Are you saying that you want to setup a vulnerable system for e.g. hacking purposes? If thats true, you may want to look at Damn Vulnerable Linux
http://www.damnvulnerablelinux.org/
The system is intended for educational training about several vulnerabilities.

- Make sure you leave mysql etc open to the lan for incoming connections
- php and put a phpinfo() page in apache as test.php or something

Why not just install Windows? (tongue-firmly-in-cheek)

Re: Need suggestions for increasing vulnerability
Heres my tip, install old versions for all your programs. This will make it SIGNIFICANTLY more vulnerable to exploits. Script kiddies all over the world can hack into servers just because they run old versions of SSH.

You could change the write permission of a script that gets run with root privileges. Allowing anyone who does manage to log in the ability to enter their own commands.
