Scoring Engine for our teams

[cokesme]

We want to start tracking involvement at CTF practices and eventually track participation in real ctf's. How should we design a system that can keep track of things beyond just flag submission? Should we start with just that?

I suggest we setup a login system for our local CTF challenges where each user account keeps track of flag submissions. I would keep local flag submissions separate from actual CTF solves, but track them both. We could even display a scoreboard of people's weekly flags.

Discussed this with ditmar over IRC. Here's a tentative feature list:

• Ability for users to self-report solves on public CTFs
• Ability for users to self-report assists or helps for the main solvers (some intellectual contribution)
• Interface for creating a new CTF solve page with attributes, such as judge only (only judge can add people to solves. think CTF practice)
• Agree/disagree system: self-reported solves and assists can be agreed or disagreed with in a public forum. Certain problems can be locked to finalize the solve/assist list
• Disambigiuation of multiple solvers by a judge
• Every time a solve, assist, agree or disagreement is commited, the users must write a reason/justification
• Scoring/sorting system - by assists, solves, category, etc
• Extra: user configuration - avatar, website

probably shouldn't require a reason/justification for solves.

also definitely:

• Use OAuth for login

gauged interest via IRC on what lang/framework:

17:15 < gadams> Django, Flask, Drupal, NodeJS, ASP.NET MVC4
17:15 < connerb> angular + node
17:15 < TinFoil> I would actually contribute to a Django or Flask project
17:24 < cokesme> 1. nodejs+angular 2. Django or Flask ~3. rails
17:20 < dwn> also my list in pref order is: nodejs+angular, ruby+sinatra, flask, php+codeigniter or other
17:27 < digitalcold> I would personally say pure PHP and SQL.

[noncetonic]

pure PHP + MySQL I think would be the best

Has CTFing taught you nothing about PHP/MySQL? Pls no lol
