Please see Lecture Slides from Wednesday nights for information on now to obtain a VM.  We now also have an OVA version available in the same directory.

...

1. Log into the VM using sysadmin as the user and result of the following as the password:

   Code Block
   $ echo "buy it, use it, break it, fix it" | awk -F, '{print $3 $4}' | awk '{print $1 $2 $3 $4 $5}'

2. See VM Network Configuration for how to configure your networking .
3. Start Apache by running sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
4. Go to http://ctf-portal.ctf.csail.mit.eduImage Removed - you should be able to see your Wordpress site.
5. If you want to tinker with things, look at the following places
   1. /usr/share/wordpress is a fairly standard Ubuntu installation of Wordpress
   2. Web root is located in /srv/www/ctf-portal.ctf.csail.mit.edu/ and points to the installation above
   3. Plugins and such go into /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/plugins
   4. All these directories are owned by root:www-data, so you'll need to become one of those users to explore.  The simplest way is to run

      Code Block
      sudo su

      and enter the password above - this makes you root. Alternatively, you could run

      Code Block
      sudo su www-data

      to become the www-data user.
