🤯 DING DING!!🤯
Dear community, we are proud to announce the global availability of OpenEx 3.1.0 🥳. This version is an essential step for the platform. Indeed, OpenEx 3.1.0 introduces major new sections and capabilities in the product 🚀.
First of all, it is now possible to create and use challenges within exercises, associated with flags, scores and attached files 🏆. Also, a new system now allow exercises planners to create media pressure simulation injects, using newspapers, microblogging and TV channel medias 📺🗞️. With those new capabilities, OpenEx can be used to organize simple capture the flags competition or more complex exercises with mixed content 📡.
Then, when creating injects, planners can now define expectations with a specific score 💯, even for email or SMS injects. Associated with challenges and media pressure, this brings OpenEx a full new scoring system which is now used in a results dashboards and reports to follow score over time and gamify the platform 🎯.
Also, this version brings the capability to collect player emails directly in the platform (and answer to them) ✉️, so the animation team can stay in OpenEx to run the full exercise (including answering to players). In the future, a player interface (authenticated) will be available with some instant messaging features 📥.
Finally, new injectors are also available in this release, especially a generic HTTP REST Injector which is able to send data to external APIs during exercises. In the coming months, OpenEx will continue to evolve: player interface, more injectors and integrations, participative lessons learned, exercise gallery, etc 🔥.
If you would like to activate the mails in OpenEx, you need to configure IMAP parameters of one of your inbox. Be sure then that the exercises you will run have the sender mail address configured to this specific mailbox (so when player reply to injects, it comes to the IMAP mailbox).
