Plugins

CTFd supports the loading of plugins which can modify the Flask app without modifying the main application. These can be dropped into the plugins folder which will be loaded on application start.

If you're interested in developing a plugin, you can read more about the plugin architecture on the Plugins page.

Here are some example plugins:

• CTFd Amazon S3 Plugin
• CTFd Docker Plugin
• CTFd Push Notifications
• Dynamic Scoring

Themes

CTFd supports themes! If you modify the original theme and throw it into the themes folder, you will be able to change the theme from the admin configuration panel. The admin panel itself can also be customized by modifying the admin theme folder.

A repository to track open source CTFd themes is available here. Premium CTFd themes are available here
