CTFd

About

CTFd acts as a user-scoped server, allowing participants to programmatically interact with CTFd challenges. It unifies interactions across various CTFd setups, including those using dynamic Docker instances (ctfd-whale), ctfd-owl challenges, or Kubernetes-backed instances. Users can list challenges, view detailed descriptions and attachments, start and stop dynamic challenge containers, and submit flags, facilitating integration with other tools or automated CTF participation workflows.
