Google Ctf
This project is a capture the flag platform and cybersecurity training environment. It provides a framework for deploying security challenges and tracking participant progress through a real-time scoring leaderboard.
The platform serves as a security competition scoreboard and management system, hosting intentionally vulnerable infrastructure for practicing reverse engineering and software exploitation techniques. It manages the discovery of secret strings within these puzzles to determine team rankings.
The system covers cybersecurity competition management, security challenge deployment, and vulnerability research training. It utilizes a tracking system to monitor point totals based on the number of security challenges solved.
