Argue it the other way and see what you come up with. :>

You're kidding, right?  The chance to r00t *every* debian box in the
world (apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get install rootkit) isn't
worth losing a single local root sploit?  The only better targets are
the windows ones like Symantec's LiveUpdate and, of course,
windowsupdate.microsoft.com...

Hmm. I want a game where after you use your 0day, you lose it. Maybe I'll have targets like "debian.org" and "gentoo.org". For the life of me, I can't think of anything on debian.org worth owning that would compensate for losing a good kernel local, or anything on gentoo worth risking rsync for. Whoever it is is losing points fast.

Actually, that's very much what the game was like last year-
They gave
us a relatively secured build with lots of insecure e-biz-type apps running on it. You got points for keeping them up for
extended periods
and also for
capturing and then keeping a service.

The games have been fairly interesting the last two years.

sets up a set of targets. You attack them. Maybe there's
a duplicate
set of targets, one for each team. Maybe there's just one

chaotic, IMHO). You get points for taking control of
target services
and/or networks.

That gets rid of the sysadmin aspect.

I like the aspect of holding the service after its owned. At
this point
you have to consider the switch vs. no switched network. If
everybody i
attacking the same machine, tcpdump caps are trivial meaning
that teams
could gain access just by copying other teams.

I would be infavor of something like a themed contest. For
instace this
year we have a ecomm site running on a trusted OS. There is
a series of
points awarded for how far you get. This deep sixes
competeing against
other teams and makes it more blackhat like, its your team vs the target.
