You will be provided with a win32 game client that talks to a server daemon running remotely. The easy objective will be to insert a fake high score on the server. The hard objective will be to exploit a flaw in the server code running in a Windows virtual machine. You are advised to bring the following so you don’t waste time getting your tools setup:

1) windows operating environment (98, 2000, XP, Vista it shouldn’t matter) 2) a windows disassembler/debugger: ida pro or ollydbg 3) a network sniffer: tcpdump or wireshark 4) a tool for sending network traffic: netcat, ncat, perl, python 5) a hex editor (frhed, xvi32, hexdump) 6) some shellcode for owning windows XP (hard challenge only) 7) network cable 8) power strip
