That's a good point. I've tried posting this to some private forums but there was no response. It's an acceptable risk the student teams could be members of this list and this seemed like the best resource for feedback on the topic. Frankly, I'm probably the least of their worries given the skill set of the other attack team members. Social Engineering has been harder to pull off since the teams all know what we look like but it's worked a few times before. Thank you for the feedback.

Well, For starters I wouldn't ask about it in public forum. How do you know if the defenders are reading this email list or not? If you take public advice who's to say that they won't build the defense first? That said, use Social Engineering to start... it works if you do it right.

There are some pretty talented folks on the team and I'm arguably the least experienced (for now). The short version explanation is that teams of college students are tasked with operating and defending a "corporate" network of systems ranging from web, email, DB, MS Domain servers, VoIP, and normal workstations. They have to patch a wide variety of holes while keeping designated services available for scoring. The team with the most uptime wins. Meanwhile, the red team is busy attacking these services along with anything else we can get into and create havoc for the student teams. My question to all of you is what you would recommend for an attack strategy here. In previous competitions it's been challenging to know where to start as there are many options. Should I find a hole and dig in with backdoors, create new user accounts, take over the admin accounts and lock out the student teams??? Technically the red team is supposed to bring down or deny access to the services the students are scored on (primary objective). There's always more going than that however. I'd like to stay focused when we go into the 3 day event this month so I need a plan. How would you do it if you didn't know more than possibly what types of systems you'll find on the target networks? Thanks. ScottAdriel T.
