This is the CCDC Scoring Engine used for DSU Defensive Security Club Mock Competitions.

The poller modules and web server require a number of dependencies.

Install dependencies: ./install.sh

Edit db.py and replace the MySQL credentials with your own.

Setup database: ./setup.py

The Scoring Engine is configured using a flat config file. A few sample configs can be found in configs/.

The config file consists of a few .ini-like sections. The Global section holds all of the options related to polling and scoring. Each of the subsequent sections describe different parts of the expected environment like Teams, Services, and Credentials. Each line in a section must start with an ID for the object it is describing which is used to reference it by other parts of the config. Requirements for each section are described in a comment under the section header.

Ex:

[Services]
# id:host,port
# 1:8,53

Load the config: ./load_config.py [CONFIG_FILE]

The scoring engine can be run on a single system, or it can be split between systems -- one team per system.

Single system: ./engine.py

Multiple systems: ./engine.py [TEAM_NUM]

Start the webserver: ./start_server
