CSCI 4830/7000 - Ethical Hacking - Fall 2014

Homework #5

Due: Dec 3rd, 2014



1. Complete levels 1 through 5 on blade.
You have an account on blade already, so go log in. You can find the challenges at http://blade/~level## where ## is 01 through 10. Submit your solutions at http://blade/~submission. This is also where you find out what you turn in to get credit. In order to submit, you need a "Perm Number" (5 to 10 digits long) that you will need to select for your group. If you're going to work in a group, you only need one Perm Number for the group. This Perm Number is supposed to be hard to guess so other students won't overwrite your submissions. Once you and your team have selected your Perm Number, each member should log on to blade and run $ /home/submission/setperm to register under that number. Then only one person needs to submit solutions to the submission page under that Perm Number.

Contrary to the other challenges, for this one you will be able to easily abuse the environment once you break into some of the levels. I ask you to respect the class and not ruin the challenge for others.

Note: You only need to document your exploit in a few sentences using the on-line tool. You do NOT need to turn anything in on paper.
