Introduction

This module operates the park fences at Triassic Park for the Southwest Regional Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition. It has two parts: the Park Control Console, which is the CLI and either accessibly locally, or by running the telnet subcommand to expose it over telnet; and a simple flash webservice used to score and/or degrade the fences.

Persistence to disk is optional via the -f flag. It uses flat files with Python's pickle module, so thread-safety and concurrency is not guaranteed (rather the opposite, as a matter of fact).

Requirements

• Python 3.7 or higher
• Linux, for the telnet server (Windows works for the local version)
• All the python modules in requirements.txt
• Root access, to use ports 23 and 80.

Important files

• triassic_shell.py - The shell itself. Run this directly. See its help command (python triassic_shell.py -h) for details.

• triassic_scoring.py - The web service - run directly. See its help command (python triassic_shell.py -h) for details.

• prompt_command.py and triassic_prompts.py - These implement most of the behavior of the CLI, using the Prompt Toolkit library.

• data_model.py - The data model.

• telnet/ - A patched version of Prompt Toolkit's built-in telnet server to make it a little bit more robust and allow errors to be passed up to the main server outer loop.

• degrade_step.py - Run this every minute to degrade the fences that are failing.

• requirements.py - A list of dependencies to install with pip.
