Yes, the contents of the reports needs to remain the same.
But remember, only the “admin” users (who have team specific passwords) need access to them.

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.”
Do we need DNS entry to resolve to our DNS Server?
Yes! This should be added to the scenario.
DNS will be scanned at ns1.siteN.cdc.com. Please add the name ‘ns1’ to your DNS records.
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.
Admin Access to the Shell Server
So the rules say that admins need to be able to sudo on the shell server. What do they need to be able to do?
The administrators (dave and susie) must be able to use sudo to run ALL commands as root.
