TDCTF is a modern Capture The Flag (CTF) platform I built for security competitions — a space where I combine my focus on cybersecurity research and web exploitation to host engaging technical challenges.
The cybersecurity landscape is constantly evolving. New vulnerabilities emerge fast, infrastructure gets more complex, and training environments can often feel difficult to set up and manage. Instead of overcomplicating the process, I decided to do something simple:
build an accessible arena to practice and compete.
TDCTF is my platform to host events smoothly without wrestling with complex backend configurations. Some deployments are for local training, some are for full-scale team competitions, and all of them help participants sharpen their skills.
As the saying goes:
Capture the flag before someone else does.
What It Features So Far
Some of the core systems currently built into TDCTF include:
Live Scoreboard & Teams
A real-time leaderboard system designed to keep competitions engaging. It supports both individual and team-based scoring, providing instant solve alerts across all users with a responsive, dark-mode interface.
Dynamic Challenge Engine
A versatile challenge management system tailored for 11+ security categories. Instead of purely static environments, it features dynamic scoring based on solver counts and integrates seamlessly with TDCTL for ephemeral, on-demand challenge infrastructure.
More features and integrations will continue to appear here as new security events and ideas come to life.
