Django CTF App What is a CTF?
Capture the Flag (CTF) is a gamified cybersecurity event where participants (individuals or teams) compete by solving challenges that involve finding hidden information ("flags") within simulated or controlled environments. CTFs provide a fun and engaging way to learn and test one's skills in various areas of cybersecurity, including cryptography, steganography, web security, forensics, and more.
About This App
This Django application provides a framework for creating and conducting your own CTF competitions.
Key Features:
Challenge Creation: Easily design various CTF challenges catering to different difficulty levels, including cryptography, steganography, web security, forensics, and more. User Management: Manage participants and teams, allowing registration, authentication, and progress tracking. Flag Management: Implement flags with different formats (text, images, files) and hide them within challenges for participants to discover. Leaderboard: Track team or individual progress through a dynamic leaderboard, fostering healthy competition. Submission System: Provide a secure and efficient mechanism for participants to submit their captured flags. Customization: Tailor the CTF experience by customizing themes, rules, branding, and scoring criteria. Requirements:
Python 3.x (https://www.python.org/downloads/) Django (framework based on your project version) (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/releases/) Additional dependencies may be required based on the specific functionalities you implement (e.g., cryptography libraries for crypto challenges).
