NAME

CTF::FlagClient - SSL'd Client for communicating with CTF::FlagServer

SYNOPSIS

    use CTF;
    CTF->load_from_io($config);

    my $client = CTF::FlagClient->new();
    $client->connect('localhost');
    my $httpflag = $client->get_flag($service);
    $client->set_flag($service, $newflagdata);

ABSTRACT

Communicates with CTF::FlagServer to exchange flag data for various services.

Flag data can be an arbitrary string. $service is the name of a service recognized by the FlagServer.

DESCRIPTION

The FlagClient communicates with a CTF::FlagServer, to exchange the content of the flag for services. FlagClients may get and set flags identified by a service name.

The FlagClient also performs SSL validation. The FlagClient and FlagServer must both be configured to use the same CA certificate.

Methods

• connect($hostname)

Connects the FlagClient to the specified host. This must be called prior to calling get_flag and set_flag

• get_flag($servicename)

Returns the value of the flag for the service specified. If $servicename is not a valid service, this function will return an "Invalid service" warning.

• set_flag($servicename, $content)

This function tells the flag server to set the flag for the specified service to $content.
