Using an OpenWRT router
=======================

You can use an off-the-shelf, OpenWRT capable wireless router,
configuring only through the web interface.  The OpenWRT setup is
intended for smaller contests, wired or non-wired, in which
participants can be counted on not to launch link level attacks (ARP
or NDP).  Bear in mind that the cheap consumer routers have relatively
slow CPUs and won't stand up to high volume.

The CTF repository includes a "router" package, which will boot a DBTL
device as a IPv6 router complete with multicast forwarding and up to
24 tagged VLANs (by using a managed switch).  This is a better option
for larger contests, and can better handle high-speed (Gigabit)
traffic.

Instructions for setting up OpenWRT
-----------------------------------

After installing OpenWRT:

* Change the root password
* Install the kmod-ipv6, radvd, and luci-app-radvd packages
* Configure the LAN interface as 10.0.0.1/16 and
  fd84:b410:3441::1/64
* Tell DHCP to begin at 257 after the base IP: this will assure
  all DHCP addresses are after 10.0.1.0
* Disable router solicitations on LAN
* Enable WPA2, with the password "correct horse battery staple"
* Turn on router advertisements (under radvd) on LAN
* Enable prefix fd84:b410:3441::1/54 under radvd

This should be sufficient to bring up the router for running the
contest.  If you want to get fancy, you can scp the files in
www in this directory, into /www on the router.  This will give
users some guidance if they accidentally browse to the router IP,
and also disables the default redirection to luci.
