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

Here's how to get started:

# Log into the VM using {{sysadmin}} as the user and result of the following as the password:
{code}
$ echo "buy it, use it, break it, fix it" | awk -F, '{print $3 $4}' | awk '{print $1 $2 $3 $4}'
{code}
# (!) See [MITLLCTF:VM Network Configuration] for how to configure your networking (!) .
# Start Apache by running {{sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start}}
# Go to {{[http://ctf-portal.ctf.csail.mit.edu]}} \- you should be able to see your Wordpress site.
# If you want to tinker with things, look at the following places
## {{/usr/share/wordpress}} is a fairly standard Ubuntu installation of Wordpress
## Web root is located in {{/srv/www/ctf-portal.ctf.csail.mit.edu/}} and points to the installation above
## Plugins and such go into {{/usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/plugins}}
## 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}
sudo su
{code}
and enter the password above - this makes you {{root}}.  Alternatively, you could run
{code}
sudo su www-data
{code}
to become the {{www-data}} user.
