Root the Box is a real-time capture the flag (CTF) scoring engine designed for computer wargames and cybersecurity training environments. The platform provides a configurable framework for hosting CTF competitions where participants can practice penetration testing, incident response, digital forensics, and threat hunting skills through hands-on challenges. The application supports both team-based and individual gameplay modes, accommodating different competition formats and learning preferences. Key features include a real-time animated scoreboard that displays live updates, graphs, and status information using websocket technology for immediate feedback during competitions. The platform offers multiple flag types including static flags, regex patterns, datetime-based challenges, multiple choice questions, and file-based submissions with configurable case sensitivity options. Competition organizers can customize scoring mechanisms with penalties, hints, attempt limits, level bonuses, and dynamic scoring algorithms to create engaging and balanced gameplay experiences. The system includes built-in team management functionality and categorization options for organizing challenges by topic or difficulty level. Root the Box can be modified and configured for various CTF styles and educational scenarios, making it suitable for training programs, academic courses, and professional development initiatives.
