The last HackIt I set up was a few years ago, so I decided to have a go at it again. As before it will be a Linux server. And I will also have some fun with grsecurity kernel patches (including the additional Role-Based Access Control system). So nothing new up to here. I’m also going to be using most of the features I used back then too (like “trusted path execution” and no outgoing/server sockets for users, …)
Last time it was separate hardware on my little DSL line (meaning back then all users had to share a 128kbit upstream). This time it will be a vmware box on a 100Mbit Internet connection and it’s own IP, so no more worry about laggy ssh sessions.
I’ll post more details as soon as this gets more “ready-for-release”. Right now I’m still hardening the box, I still haven’t decided on which holes I’m going to build into it to make it a “HackIt”.
GREAT! I will enjoy it!
