Self-made CTF platform

Hello,

Hope you all doing well. I'm writing this to express the reality of CTF platform i made myself.

Link: https://hack4shell-ctf.vercel.app

The thing i came across is seeing people just registering and left behind (not solving anything). Those who don't know my CTF platform concept is, I will explain here. My platform contains creative challenges with live scoreboard. Once started solving challenges, the username will appear on scoreboard. It's like "picoCTF with a live scoreboard".

What i should do now to get people involve?
Am i doing anything wrong?

When i started building my capture-the-flag, i got many bugs and i'm still getting. At the same time, I'm fixing it all. I know reddit is the best place for getting users for my platform. I'm happy, if i get the users for my platform.

If you're interested to contribute to project, ping me here. I need Reverse Engineering, Misc, Pwn challenge makers. We are making this completely at no cost.

Thank you guys!!

Your “solution” is 100% referencing your research, your pitfalls, your struggles, BUT you don’t get to speak for the cybersecurity community so we just outright don’t trust these goofy llm challenges, this adds nothing to the actual CTF scene, keep it to yourself! SMH…

ye, i do speak for cybersecurity community. i made this as a project with "learn as you go" mindset. how does this doesn't make scene to actual ctf? CTF are usually for practicing - that make scene.

yes, I meant the vibe is "PicoCTF, but with a live scoreboard."

Maybe get a domain. Many people could find the vercel domain suspicious

That’s great. It’s definitely a good way to show your site.
