Built for the Entire Instruction Cycle
BadgerCTF mirrors how modern programs teach cybersecurity: learning modules, always-on ranges and competitions, and data + management services stacked together.
Learning Layer
Markdown-authored courses, AI-generated lab content, and guided exercises mapped to your curriculum. Split-view interface with instructions and live terminal side by side.
Practice & Competition Layer
CTF challenges with automated flag validation, long-running threat ranges, and checkpoint-based scoring that captures evidence of student progress.
Management & Intelligence Layer
Real-time telemetry dashboards, live terminal monitoring, session recordings, and exportable progress reports for faculty assessment.
AI That Accelerates Instruction
From creating fresh labs to monitoring every student keystroke, BadgerCTF's AI stack reduces the cost of content while improving mastery and integrity.
Lab Generator
Describe the competency you need in plain English. The AI drafts Docker images, lab instructions, setup scripts, and scoring checkpoints.
Activity Telemetry
Real-time capture of terminal commands, file operations, and session activity. Faculty dashboards surface who's struggling and who's excelling.
Course Creator
Upload slides or PDFs and generate narrated course content with text-to-speech. Create structured lessons alongside hands-on labs.
Elastic Infrastructure Without the Headaches
Four runtime environments, three terminal protocols, and Apache Guacamole work behind the scenes so you can focus on outcomes, not rack space.
LXC Containers
Clone golden templates on Proxmox VE with per-student isolation, automatic IP detection, and timed cleanup.
Docker Micro Ranges
Sub-minute launches for lightweight exercises. AI-generated Dockerfiles, xterm.js access, and auto-reset controls.
Proxmox VMs
Full virtual machines for complex multi-service environments. Guacamole SSH/RDP/VNC with session recording.
ESXi VMs
VMware ESXi support for Windows, legacy OS, and desktop environments with WMKS console access.
"BadgerCTF cut our lab-setup time from days to minutes while giving faculty AI copilots for every class."— Si Chen, Co-founder & Chief Architect
Purpose-Built for Education
Whether you run a university cybersecurity program or a high school computing class, BadgerCTF gives every stakeholder the tooling they need.
Faculty Workbench
Create labs with a Markdown editor or the AI generator, assign scoring checkpoints, monitor live sessions, and track student progress across courses.
CTF Competitions
