This documents the physical requirements for the event. So we can
|
||
schedule stuff.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Duration
|
||
========
|
||
|
||
The event can be tailored to last anywhere from 1 hour to several days.
|
||
For multi-day events, hosts should provide a lock on all doors to the
|
||
event area and allow contestants to store their equipment overnight.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Organizers
|
||
==========
|
||
|
||
The event can usually be run by just one organizer.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Contestants
|
||
===========
|
||
|
||
The event hardware can handle any number of contestants, from as few as
|
||
two, to as many as 1000. ACS maintains hardware to support up to 49
|
||
contestants (at most 7 teams with at most 7 people per team). Larger or
|
||
more teams can be accomodated, if the contestants or event hosts provide
|
||
additional equipment (see "Large Events" below).
|
||
|
||
|
||
Teams
|
||
=====
|
||
|
||
There can be 1-7 teams. With more than one team, more categories become
|
||
available, such as the attack/defend scenario. Teams should be between
|
||
2 and 6 people, but teams can be larger if they don't need more than 6
|
||
computers connected to the provided switch (eg. if they bring their own
|
||
switch, additional network cables, and power strip).
|
||
|
||
Each team is expected to provide any laptops, desktops, network cables,
|
||
storage devices, or additional networking equipment they want. An
|
||
8-port switch is provided to each team as a courtesy, but need not be
|
||
used. Contestants are encouraged to reconfigure the network topology in
|
||
their team area, adding more switches, firewalls, or whatever else they
|
||
desire.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Organizer area
|
||
==============
|
||
|
||
The organizer area must have power and one connection to the Internet.
|
||
It should be near a wall or some other surface which can serve as a
|
||
screen for a projector. It must have a table or tables large enough to
|
||
support one laptop per organizer, a QNAP TS329 (6x4x8½ inches), and a
|
||
stereo amplifier (about 2x1 feet), unless the host has a specific desire
|
||
for no music. Each organizer needs a chair.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Team areas
|
||
==========
|
||
|
||
Ideally there should be one round(ish) table per team, and a chair for
|
||
each team member. Each team's area needs space for the equipment they
|
||
bring (their laptops), a power strip, one QNAP TS-239 (6×4×8½ inches),
|
||
and one 8-port switch. Each team area must be located within 50 feet of
|
||
the organizer area, so that their team's network can reach the organizer
|
||
area's switch.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Large Events
|
||
============
|
||
|
||
An almost unlimited number of contestants can be supported by the event
|
||
software. For events with over 7 teams, certain contest categories
|
||
cannot be run (eg. sysadmin, injection/exploits) since only 7 "services"
|
||
boxes exist.
|
||
|
||
We can provide a 48-port switch in addition to our eight 8-port
|
||
switches, and a 2'×1'×1' box full of CAT-5 cables of various lengths, so
|
||
up to 47 teams can be accommodated if the host can provide more switches,
|
||
power strips, and CAT5 cables.
|
||
|
||
For safety reasons (to minimize tripping hazards and clutter), it is
|
||
suggested that each team area have only one or two uplink connections to
|
||
the organizer area's switch.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Example: 91 contestants (7 teams, 13 contestants per team)
|
||
----------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Each team's area has 1 uplink connection connected to port 1 of the
|
||
services box. Port 2 of the services box connects to an 8-port hub,
|
||
which also feeds a second 8-port hub, for a total of 13 connections.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Example: 168 contestants (12 teams, 14 contestants per team)
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Each team area has 2 uplink connections, each connected to an 8-port
|
||
switch. There are no services boxes in this configuration.
