CDC IRC Chat

Hello everyone!

After the NCDC this weekend, we decided it would be nice to have a place to congregate and have informal discussion about the event, and about future events.  We have started a channel on IRC at freenode.  Details below:

Server:  irc.freenode.net
Channel:  #isucdc
Password: (currently no password)

Hop on and give your praises, express your concerns, and suggest improvements!

VM Disk Size

There has been many questions about the 20GB disk size regulation.  Here is how it is stated currently:

“When creating a virtual hard drive, you are required to use the “Thin Provision” option and to make the drive no larger than 20GB in size. Your total disk usage must remain under 160GB.”
We have decided to change it.  The important part is the 160GB limit as well as the thin provisioning. Here is the revised sentence:
“When creating a virtual hard drive, you are required to use the “Thin Provision” option. Your total diskusage for all VMs must remain under 160GB.”

IScorE Now Online!

IScorE, our CDC scoring application, is now online!
During the setup phase there are a few things on IScorE that you need to pay attention to:
  • Your flags. You will find a link to download them.  You must place these on your servers in the spots specified in the Rules Doc.
  • Dave and Susie’s passwords.  These are located on your dashboard under your team’s information.
  • User Social Security numbers.  These are located near the passwords.  You must use these SSNs when creating users in the Payroll app.
  • Service status.  Check to see if our scanner picks up your services so that you get points!  The scanner scans every 10 minutes during setup, and every 5 minutes during the attack phase.
  • Team information.  Feel free to upload a picture, it will display next to your team on the scoreboard.
Here’s the link: https://iscore.iseage.org/  Use the same credentials that you use to login to RDP and vCenter.
IScorE is relatively new (just over a year old!) compared to our CDCs.  It is still under active development, and as the lead developer of the project I love getting feedback.  If you have any problems with IScorE, encounter something that is confusing, or have ideas for new features, pleaselet us know!  You can email all the developers at iscore@iastate.edu or talk to me personally.
