Challenges can be created/edited via the Admin Panel's Challenges Tab. (/Admin/Challenges)

Challenges are all referenced by their challenge IDs

Writeup Link

Enter a link to a writeup if you want to provide them to the user. There is also the option of only revealing the link after the user has solved the challenge.

Dynamic Scoring

You can opt to enable dynamic scoring for a challenge by enabling the Dynamic Scoring option in the create/edit challenge page.

  • Solves to Minimum is the number of solves till the challenge decays to the minimum score
  • Minimum Points is the minimum points a challenge can decay to
  • Initial Points is the initial amount of points of a challenge before any decay

Dynamic scoring is implemented based on ctfd's parabolic decay formula here. If you choose this option, the Challenge Points field value is set to Initial Points on submit
