The picoCTF-web project consists of the competitor facing web site, the api for running a CTF, as well as management functionality for CTF organizers.

Though it is possible to use picoCTF-web as a stand alone component, it is best integrated with the rest of the picoCTF-platform. Please consult the Quick Start section of that repository for the simplest way to begin using this component.

The picoCTF-web platform provides a number of core features that are common across jeopardy style CTFs such as:

• Problem List - where challenges are presented to competitors and they can submit flags with optional hints, and categories. Also the ability for challenges to be "locked" and hidden until a competitor hits a certain score threshold.
• Scoreboard - for both individual progress within a category as well as across a competition.

Also the picoCTF-web platform provides a number of features that are useful for running CTFs in an educational setting:

• Classrooms - to manage multiple distinct groups of competitors as in a school setting.
• Shell accounts - through integration with the picoCTF-shell-manager to allow competitors full access to necessary challenges and tools with only a web browser.

We are happy to help but no support is guaranteed.
