Your initial project was causing a lot of frustration so I've come up with an alterrnative. Our goal is to

1. Encourage self-guided learning
2. Broaden your skillset to include beneficial future tools
3. Bring you into open source and security communities
4. Foster some healthy competition

You will learn:

• Git
• Github.com
• Linux shell/hacking

You will also be competing! Rules of engagement:

• You MAY use outside resources and tools
• You MAY NOT use outside solutions to the specific wargame tasks. Yes, I will probably know, and yes your total class grade will be decimated.
• You MAY converse with your class about this project on the D2L message board "Wargame Discussion" in generics, and linking to help... don't share solutions.
• You MAY NOT discuss the project through any other channel or medium (text, whatsapp, Slack, Teams, email, in-person -- ALL are prohibited)
• You MAY NOT work as a team

Assignment

The setup (mandatory -- i.e. nothing else is graded without this). There are no limitations to using outside sources on the setup phase. Complete this as soon as possible so we can start tracking the scoreboard:

• Sign up for WeChall, connected to overthewire.org . Guide is here: https://overthewire.org/information/wechall.html
• Add overthewire.org as a linked site in wechall here https://www.wechall.net/linked_sites
• Make a pull request to this page, updating the table below with your initials, overthewire name, and wechall name. More info here https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request . Or you could take the easy way out by clicking the "README.MD" file above, clicking the pencil "edit this file in your fork" button, add your name, then click "propose changes" your submission must be mergable to count! Look at the screenshot https://github.com/professorteat/fallproject2021/blob/main/example_mergable_request.PNG so you can see what a mergable request will look like prior to creating the pull request.
• Go to the D2L forum "Wargames Mapping" and post your wechall username and your overthewire username

Shell hacking:. Looking up a Linux command or conceptual help is fine. Looking up answers = integrity violation. Just don't do it. Looking up a Linux command is fine. Source everything :

• Complete all 33 steps of the Bandit CTF game here: https://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/
• SUBMIT YOUR SCORE IN EACH LEVEL. 10 points will be deducted for failing to do this.
• For EACH of the 33 sections, take a screenshot of the page when you find the solution for each level. Put all of these screenshots in a single Word document, in order named "1-shell_hacking.docx". Submitting them loose or as a zipped up archive, or in any other manner will result in a 20 point deduction.

Finishing: Create a file named "0-completion.docx" that contains a list of all the overthewire.org challenges you completed, as well as your final wechall user name and overall score.

EXTRA CREDIT: Win Scenario based on total SCORE on wechall. It doesn't matter which sites you use, the only thing that matters will be the final score.
