Currently enabling remote access has some problems.
Reasons for adding remote access:

  • Use 3rd party tools against these targets (tools not installed inside the Dojo already)
  • Allow multiple students to use the same instance of score tracking targets, such as WebGoat

Problems:

  • need to comment out the “limit access to local area network” directives in /var/www/.htaccess (specal thanks to Etienne for discovering this issue.

Solution:

  • include README-remote-access.txt with instructions on how to enable remote access
  • consider script that would lower any intentional defenses that were intended for traditional Dojo use (e.g. hands-on conference where you do NOT want students accessing someone else's Dojo instance).
  • fix misconfigurations that are making this hard, and that serve no defensive purpose
