admin-bot

Puppeteer service for client-side CTF challenges

Setup

With Docker

$ cp .env.example .env
$ docker-compose up -d

Manually

First install dependencies with

$ npm install

You will also need access to a Redis server, either locally or on a different server.

Configure admin-bot with environment variables or a .env file. There's not a ton to configure, and anything left unconfigured will have the below default values:

RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY=6LeIxAcTAAAAAJcZVRqyHh71UMIEGNQ_MXjiZKhI
RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY=6LeIxAcTAAAAAGG-vFI1TnRWxMZNFuojJ4WifJWe
WORKER_CONCURRENCY=30
REDIS_URL=redis://127.0.0.1:6379

The only setting you must provide a value for is CHALLENGE_CONFIG, which points to a YAML file containing challenge configuration. If you're running workers on multiple servers, make sure the Redis server is accessible from all of them.

Challenge Configuration

Much like the previous attempt at writing admin-bot, challenge configuration is a combination of a YAML file and a module with handlers.

Handlers

Challenge handlers are specified in a module. Make sure they are callable with require(<module>).<handler>. They should have the following signature:

async (job, ctx, submission)

job is the bull job, ctx is a fresh incognito browsing context, and submission is what the user submitted. If you would like to set progress during the handler, you can call job.progress() with a number between 0 and 100. Check out bull's reference for more options, though many of these methods are unhandled in this service.

YAML

handlerModule: ./handlers.js                # points to the handler module
challenges:
  test-title:                               # challenge ID as well as its submission URL
    displayName: "Test Challenge - Title"   # challenge name
    message: "Message to display"           # (optional) challenge message
    handler: getTitle                       # challenge handler
    showOutput: true                        # (optional, default false) show output on status page
    showError: true                         # (optional, default false) show errors on status page
    filter: ^http:\/\/2020\.redpwnc\.tf...  # (optional) submission regex filter

Running

node server.js
node worker.js

You can have as many workers as you like, but running multiple workers on one machine will likely not improve performance (untested).
