Machine Setup

To set up your machine for the eCTF, we require that you install the following list of software:

Git

Git is an open-source version control system. It will allow your team to collaborate on a single code base while managing a history of all the changes you make. Git is required to submit your design for testing and progression to the Attack Phase. This makes it easy for the organizers to download your code for testing and allows your team to tag a specific version of your code you want to submit.

All Platforms:

Docker

Docker supports installation through Docker Desktop on Windows, Linux, and MacOS.

Docker Desktop can be installed at: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/

Specifics on how to use Docker can be found at Docker.

UV

UV is a Python package and project manager, which can be a drop-in replacement for system python interpreters, pip, virtualenv, and more. The eCTF Tools are published as a UV-runnable project on PyPi, allowing you to run and update them with no need to clone or build anything.

Instructions to install UV can be found at https://docs.astral.sh/uv/
