MetaCTF
For homework, we will be applying the concepts learned in the labs to Linux binaries. Assignments are to be done individually at the following site: cs205.oregonctf.org. Binaries are unique to each student and no collaboration is allowed. The binaries implement a set of capture-the-flag challenges that require you to reverse engineer a set of binary executables. Each binary asks for a password that will unlock it and print "Good Job". While you will be running binaries on your own machine, answers to each should be submitted at the above site. The homework is intended to give you practice for the final exam CTF. To obtain full credit, levels associated with a particular chapter must be completed by Monday at 11:30pm the week after they are assigned. For example, Ch01 and Ch03 levels are assigned for the first week of class and are due on Monday the following week. Partial credit will be given at the end of the course for levels that are turned in late.

To download binaries on a linuxlab machine, do the following:

mkdir metactf; cd metactf; virtualenv -p python3 env
source env/bin/activate
pip install requests bs4
wget http://thefengs.com/wuchang/courses/cs205/meta_dl.py
python meta_dl.py malware.oregonctf.org username password
