Oh boy I have a lot of lots-- no civilian objects is stupidly broad. Feels like they should've focused on harm and loss of life instead of... whatever the criteria is.
Because of the limits of physical access (i.e, there is only one laptop), you should have a way of controlling the system without being on keyboard. C2, RAT, Bloomberg firmware backdoor, up to you.
Furthermore: can't turn off the computer, and it must be able to talk out http/s.
Some more rules clarification: while the laptop is being passed around -- you may not change default creds, but you may add other accounts, install programs, download things. After the initial 'everyone has dropped their load,' all creds you can edit are fair game.
Next meeting is Thursday, 6:30 at Cotton & Reed once again. There will be a kali laptop with default creds. It will be passed around physically, and maybe networked.
Last person to prove they have C2 or valid creds on the laptop gets to keep it.
