CTFd tools

Tools to aid in the creation and management of CTFd CTFs.

Setup environment

% git clone https://github.com/lacework-dev/ctfdtools
% cd ctfdtools/  
% python3 -m venv .venv  
% source .venv/bin/activate  
% pip install -r requirements.txt  

Setup CTF structure

Generate a build configuration

# save output as config.json
% ./build.py -g -s ctf

Build CTF

# use generated configuration to build CTF
% ./build.py -c config.json -b

# schema passed in from config will be overridden if specified with the -s/--schema flag
% ./build.py -c config.json -b -s ctfschema

Print flags from live CTF

% ./build.py -c config.json -a

Create schema from running CTFd instance

# the -s/--schema flag is used as the output directory for generated schema
# schema directory cannot exist
% ./build.py -c config.json --export-schema -s ctfschema

Create challenges CSV from running CTFd instance

% ./build.py -c config.json --export-csv

Build script help

% ./build.py -h
