Monarch Of The Hill (MOTH) is a puzzle server.
|
|
We (the authors) have used it for instructional and contest events called
|
|
"Tracer FIRE",
|
|
"Project 2",
|
|
"HACK",
|
|
"Queen Of The Hill",
|
|
"Cyber Spark",
|
|
"Cyber Fire",
|
|
"Cyber Fire Puzzles",
|
|
and "Cyber Fire Foundry".
|
|
|
|
Information about these events is at
|
|

|
|
|
|
A few things make MOTH different than other Capture The Flag server projects:
|
|
|
|
* Once any team opens a puzzle, all teams can work on it (high fives to DC949/Orange County for this idea)
|
|
* No penalties for wrong answers
|
|
* No time-based point deductions (if you're faster, you get to answer more puzzles)
|
|
* No internal notion of ranking or score: it only stores an event log, and scoreboards parse it however they want
|
|
* All puzzles must be compiled to static content before it can be served up
|
|
* The server does very little: most functionality is in client-side JavaScript
|
|
|
|
You can read more about why we made these decisions in [philosophy](doc/philosophy.md).

Documentation

|
|
* [Getting Started](doc/getting-started.md): This guide will get you started with a production server.
|
|
* [Administration](doc/administration.md): How to set hours, and change setup.

|
Running a Production Server
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 -v /path/to/moth/state:/state -v /path/to/moth/mothballs:/mothballs:ro dirtbags/moth
|
|
|
|
You can be more fine-grained about directories, if you like.
|
|
Inside the container, you need the following paths:
|
|
|
|
* `/state` (rw) Where state is stored. Read [the overview](doc/overview.md) to learn what's what in here.
|
|
* `/mothballs` (ro) Mothballs (puzzle bundles) as provided by the development server.
|
|
* `/theme` (ro) Overrides for the built-in theme.
