Start picoCTF Problem Development

Hello and welcome to the official documentation for our Capture-The-Flag (CTF) challenge manager! This guide is designed to help you navigate and utilize the features of this powerful tool to create and configure your own CTF problems.

This documentation is currently maintained by Luke 'syreal' Jones. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, feel free to reach out via email here.

Our team has been exclusively using cmgr for problem development over the past few years. This tool is tightly integrated with Docker, ensuring a robust and flexible environment for your CTF challenges. With cmgr, you can easily bring your challenge ideas to life and provide an engaging experience for participants.

Whether you are a seasoned CTF organizer or new to the scene, this documentation will guide you through every step of using cmgr, from installation and setup to advanced customization and challenge configuration.

Let's get started on turning your CTF dreams into reality!
