Docker Challenge creation for CTFd. Allows per team/user containers!

CTFd Docker Plugin

This plugin for CTFd will allow your competing teams/users to start dockerized images for presented challenges. It adds a challenge type "docker" that can be assigned a specific docker image/tag. A few notable requirements:

  • Docker Config must be set first. You can access this via /admin/docker_config. Currently supported config is pure http (no encryption/authentication) or full TLS with client certificate validation. Configuration information for TLS can be found here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/https/
  • This plugin is written so that challenges are stored by tags. For example, StormCTF stores all docker challenges for InfoSeCon2019 in the stormctf/infosecon2019 repository. A challenge example would be stormctf/infosecon2019:arbit. This is how you would call the challenge when creating a new challenge.

Important Notes

  • It is unknown if using the same tag twice will cause issues. This plugin was written to avoid this issue, but it has not been fully tested.
  • As with all plugins, please security test your Scoreboard before launching the CTF. This plugin has been tested and vetted in the StormCTF environment, but yours may vary.
  • In 2.3.3 a CTFd Configuration change is REQUIRED. Specifically, CTFd/CTFd#1370. You will need to replace the function get_configurable_plugins with the one in the solution. This allows config.json to be a list, which allows multiple Menu items per plugin for the Plugins dropdown. You may want to change any other plugins you install to accommodate this. It's as simple as enclosing the curly braces with square braces. Example below.
# Original config.json
{
	"name": "Another Plugin",
	"route": "/admin/plugin/route"
}

# Modified config.json
[{
	"name": "Another Plugin",
	"route": "/admin/plugin/route"
}]

NOTE: The above config.json modification only applies to OTHER plugins installed.

Requires flask_wtf pip install flask_wtf
