Virtual Contest

Please check with your contest staff to ensure that this information is relevant. Not all contests will follow this exact setup.

Summary

  • Contest will be delivered over the Internet using Apache Guacamole software. Each contestant will have their own set of virtual machines to work on.
  • Contest proctors/judges will communicate/observe contestants over a Video Conference solution

Contestant Requirements

  • Internet Connection with at least 5 Mbps Download Speed
  • A modern web browser (Google Chrome is recommended). We require Chrome 80+, Firefox 80+, Edge 80+
  • We recommend your computer should have at least 4GB of RAM. Chromebooks have run our contest with no problem.

Recommendations

  • Familiarize yourself with how to use Apache Guacamole. The most important thing to remember is how to access the Guacamole menu (Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift at the same time). This menu allows you to send special key sequences and perform other tasks in the virtual machine
