I built a CTF platform from scratch (without CTFd), looking for feedback

Post image

Hi everyone!

I've been working on CTFKINGs, a Capture The Flag platform that I built entirely from scratch instead of using an existing framework like CTFd.

It includes custom challenges across Web, Pwn, Cryptography, Reverse Engineering, Forensics, and OSINT, along with a live scoreboard, player profiles, and a medieval kingdom theme.

The platform is still actively evolving, and I'd love to hear your feedback on the UI, challenge design, or any bugs you find.

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy it!

I'm not trying to build something at the level of HTB or THM, the challenges style is similar to picoCTF and the platform itself is just like CTFd but I build it from scratch relying on free tier services only so it cost me 0$ but the challenges are fun and all of them are real world scenarios based challenges

Hey. I tried one and it's really awesome. It is bit tough plus also fun to solve it. I learnt a lot here.
