HackFest Series: Need IDS Forensic Team Members

[Lisa Kachold]

Actually, we mostly need people willing to man the DEFENSE (and forensics) side of the HackFest.

We have more than a few who a unstoppable with exploit tech, so we need the important part which consists of:

1) honeypots
2) keyloggers
3) IDS [snort tiger and tripwire]

to give us a full report on what was done.

So the full game is:

A) They get us.
B) We report what they got.
C) Everyone discusses how we might have defended against the attack.

Having machines available to host the fest, would include breaking them in select ways, to allow such things as:

1) SSH exploits, telnet access
2) NFS 
3) adjacent router encroachment
4) web systems including insecure DocumentRoot, Directories, CGIs, and Mysql without a root password.

I can build a system in 2 hours to do all this (say a gentoo build right out of the box) but it would be fun for everyone to have more complete forensics about the exploits, and pit themselves against various distros and builders?
