A scoreboard used for CTF jeopardy style events

This is a scoreboard that can be used for jeopardy style tournaments. It was developed by us to be used in our capture the flag security events.

You need to have NodeJS, Redis and MySQL installed:

We have tested the scoreboard with Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits, NodeJS versions 0.6.12 and 0.8.1, Redis version 2.2.12 and 2.4.15.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs redis-server mysql-server

This will install the needed node packages

npm install --production

In the folder DB you will find two SQL scripts to import, tournament.sql (Complete database) and salts.sql (Password salts).

cd BD
mysql -u username -p < tournament.sql
mysql -u username -p < salts.sql

Go back to the main folder and copy dbconfig-example.js to dbconfig.js. Next dbconfigure the dbconfig.js file to use your MySQL database, it will look like this,

var dbconfig = {};

dbconfig.db = {};
dbconfig.dbHashes = {};

// Complete DB
dbconfig.db.host = 'localhost'; // <-- Insert host
dbconfig.db.user = 'root'; // <-- Insert user
dbconfig.db.password = 'password'; // <-- Insert password
//Don't Change.
dbconfig.db.database = 'torneio';

// Password Salt DB
dbconfig.dbHashes.host = 'localhost'; // <-- Insert host
dbconfig.dbHashes.user = 'root'; // <-- Insert user
dbconfig.dbHashes.password = 'password'; // <-- Insert password
//Don't Change.
dbconfig.dbHashes.database = 'passsalts';

module.exports = dbconfig;

Go back to the main folder and copy config-example.js to config.js. Edit the options to suit your needs.

var config = {};

config.host = "0.0.0.0";
config.appPort = 3000;
config.brand = "exampleCTF";
config.url = "https://localhost:3000";

module.exports = config;

You can generate the privatekey.pem and certificate.pem files using the following commands:

cd keys
openssl genrsa -out privatekey.pem 2048
openssl req -new -key privatekey.pem -out certrequest.csr
openssl x509 -req -in certrequest.csr -signkey privatekey.pem -out certificate.pem

Now you just need to run node.

cd CTF-Scoreboard
node app.js

We recommend using pm2 to handle this app as a daemon. To install pm2:

sudo apt-get install pm2

Then install the node script with

cd CTF-Scoreboard
pm2 start app.js --name "CTFScoreboard"

Have the scripts run on startup:

pm2 startup ubuntu

You can then browse to https://server-address:3000 and login with username Administrator and password 123456
