FIC Forensic CTF Platform
=========================

This is a CTF server for distributing and validating challenges. It is design
to be robust, so it uses some uncommon technics like client certificate for
authentication, lots of state of the art cryptographic methods and aims to be
deployed in a DMZ network architecture.


Local developer setup
---------------------

### The importance of clone location

This is a [monorepo](https://danluu.com/monorepo/), primarly intended for Go
programming. If you want to be able to do programming stuff, you should take
care of the path where you clone this repository, as it should be located
inside [your `GOPATH`](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/SettingGOPATH):

    git clone https://git.nemunai.re/fic/server.git $GOPATH/src/srs.epita.fr/fic-server


### Using Docker

Use `docker-compose build`, then `docker-compose up` to launch the infrastructure.

After booting, you'll be able to reach the main interface at:
<http://localhost:8042/> and the admin one at: <http://localhost:8081/>.


### Manual builds

Running this project requires a web server (configuration is given for nginx),
a database (currently supporting only MySQL), a go compiler for the revision
1.6 at least and a `inotify`-aware system.

1. First, you'll need to retrieve the dependencies:

		go get -d srs.epita.fr/fic-server/admin
		go get -d srs.epita.fr/fic-server/backend
		go get -d srs.epita.fr/fic-server/frontend

2. Then, build the three Go projects:

		go build -o $GOPATH/src/srs.epita.fr/fic-server/fic-admin srs.epita.fr/fic-server/admin
		go build -o $GOPATH/src/srs.epita.fr/fic-server/fic-backend srs.epita.fr/fic-server/backend
		go build -o $GOPATH/src/srs.epita.fr/fic-server/fic-frontend srs.epita.fr/fic-server/frontend

3. Before launching anything, you need to create a database:

		mysql -u root -p <<EOF
		CREATE DATABASE fic;
		CREATE USER fic@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'fic';
		GRANT ALL ON fic.* TO fic@localhost;
		EOF

	By default, expected credentials for development purpose is `fic`,
	for both username, password and database name. If you want to use
	other credentials, define the corresponding environment variable:
	`MYSQL_HOST`, `MYSQL_USER`, `MYSQL_PASSWORD` and
	`MYSQL_DATABASE`. Those variables are the one used by the `mysql`
	docker image, so just link them together if you use containers.

4. Launch it!

        ./fic-admin &

    After initializing the database, the server will listen on
    <http://localhost:8081/>: this is the administration part.

        ./fic-backend &

    This daemon generates static and team related files and then waits
	for new submissions (expected in `submissions` directory). It only
	watchs modifications on the file system, it has no web interface.

		./fic-frontend &

	This last server exposes an API that gives time synchronization to
	clients and handle submission reception (but without treating
	them).

For the moment, a web server is mandatory to serve static files, look at the
samples given in the `configs/` directory.
