Could you build this?
Partial The CTF scoreboard, challenge management, and team UI are vibe-codeable and open-source CTF platforms exist, but safely hosting live exploit sandboxes requires container and network isolation expertise plus a real library of challenges.
What it would actually take: The stack would combine a web app with real-time WebSocket scoring, challenge and team management, and per-team containerized targets on Docker or Kubernetes. The hard parts are isolating exploit environments so attackers cannot escape to the host or pivot into other teams' instances, and authoring quality challenges. Security engineering and content authorship are the scarce resources.
