CTF Platform for Enterprises & Government

Turn cybersecurity training into a competition your people actually want to join. HackenProof's CTF platform designs and runs Capture the Flag (CTF) events for enterprises and government agencies—from a single internal exercise to a national-scale competition—built around real-world vulnerability scenarios, not generic quizzes.

What Is a CTF?

Capture The Flag (CTF) is a cybersecurity competition where participants solve hands-on challenges across web exploitation, cryptography, OSINT, reverse engineering, digital forensics, and smart contract security to find hidden “flags” and earn points.
  1. 01

    Choose your format

    Compete individually or together with a team.
  2. 02

    Choose a challenge

    Pick a challenge from one of several cybersecurity disciplines.
  3. 03

    Solve it

    Analyze code, exploit vulnerabilities, decode data, or investigate a scenario.
  4. 04

    Find the flag

    Discover the hidden flag and validate your solution.
  5. 05

    Earn points. Climb up!

    Score points for completed challenges and compete for a place on the leaderboard.
Score points for completed challenges and compete for a place on the leaderboard.That’s why a CTF is more than just a competition. One format can assess practical skills, support recruitment, and strengthen team collaboration.

What Kind of CTF Can We Run?

Every CTF is built around two key elements: challenge categories aligned with your technology stack and difficulty levels adapted to your audience.

CHALLENGE CATEGORIES

Our CTFs cover a broad range of cybersecurity disciplines — not just web security — so challenges can be adapted to different roles and experience levels.

Web Exploitation

Injections, path traversal, XSS, authentication bypass, SSRF.

Cryptography

Classical and modern cryptography, weak implementations, key recovery.

Reverse Engineering

Binary and bytecode analysis, obfuscation, unpacking.

Binary Exploitation (Pwn)

Memory vulnerabilities, ROP, privilege escalation.

Smart Contracts & Blockchain

Solidity/EVM vulnerabilities, DeFi logic flaws, on-chain exploitation.

Digital Forensics

Disk, memory, network traffic, and log analysis.

OSINT

Open-source intelligence and practical investigation scenarios.

Logic & Miscellaneous

Steganography, programming, and unconventional problem-solving.

DIFFICULTY TIERS

We adapt every CTF to the experience level of its participants — from beginners to experienced security professionals. Challenges from each category can be offered at different difficulty levels.

Level 1—Foundational

Introductory challenges covering decryption, OSINT, basic forensics, and logical problem-solving.

Level 2—Intermediate

Hands-on vulnerability exploitation, including path traversal, reflected XSS, basic reverse engineering, and common smart contract vulnerabilities.

Level 3—Advanced

Complex, multi-stage scenarios involving authentication bypass, CVE exploitation, remote code execution (RCE), privilege escalation, binary pwn, lateral movement, and advanced smart contract or DeFi attacks.
By combining different categories and difficulty levels, one CTF can bring beginners and experienced red team professionals into the same competition and leaderboard.

Why Digital Product, Blockchain, and Government Teams Run a CTF

Validate real skills, not certificates

CTFs show how participants handle real-world vulnerability scenarios: analyzing code, identifying weaknesses, building exploits, and finding unconventional solutions. This provides much more practical insight than a résumé or multiple-choice test.

Build challenges around your own technology stack

CTF scenarios can be adapted to your architecture, technologies, and typical risk areas — from web applications and APIs to blockchain and smart contracts. This allows teams to practice against scenarios that closely resemble the challenges they may face in real work.

Build a recruitment pipeline

CTF results help identify strong participants before formal recruitment begins — based on their practical performance rather than only the experience listed on their résumé.

Engage the security community

A public CTF can introduce your product or ecosystem to hackers, auditors, and security researchers and give them a practical way to engage with it.

Make cybersecurity training more engaging

Instead of passively consuming training materials, participants solve challenges, compete for points, and track their progress. This turns training into hands-on experience rather than another mandatory course.

Built for Your Stack: CTFs for the Blockchain Industry

To create a specialized blockchain security CTF, HackenProof combined its expertise with Hack The Box — a global ethical hacking platform used by more than 4 million cybersecurity professionals.

10 quests

A weekly challenge series focused on vulnerability classes and attack scenarios relevant to Web3.

8 blockchain challenges

A dedicated track gamified as an 8-bit RPG, taking participants from blockchain security fundamentals to advanced smart contract exploitation.

Opportunities for top performers

Strong results opened access to a dedicated profile badge and an invite-only crowdsourced smart contract contest by HackenProof.
This case shows how a CTF can be adapted to a specific technology, audience, and level of difficulty.

Proven at National Scale: CTFs for the Government Sector

Beyond specialized Web3 projects, HackenProof has experience running CTFs at national scale. The National CTF, organized in partnership with the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (GUR), brought together:

Scale

350 teams and 2,000 participants from more than 73 countries.

CTF challenges

Cryptography, OSINT, reverse engineering, web exploitation, forensics, and smart contract security across three difficulty levels.

Final round

A bonus “League of Legends” round for top performers, along with a video message from the Chief of Defence Intelligence congratulating the winners.

Awards

Certificates for the Top 100, achievement badges and partner gifts for the Top 30, plus trophies and exclusive merchandise for the Top 3.
We bring the same level of organization to CTFs of any scale — from focused internal challenges for a team to large public competitions for a broader community.

Experience in the Financial Sector: CTFs for Banks

For banks and financial institutions, HackenProof runs private, invite-only CTFs. Hack the Bank, organized together with PUMB, brought together around 100 participants for a one-day offline CTF.

Event organization

Venue preparation, offline and online moderation, and branded event materials, including banners and on-site visuals.

Technical infrastructure

Dedicated participant environments or remote access depending on the format, scale, and security requirements.

Private participation

Access for invited participants only, clearly defined rules and scope, plus validation of submitted results.

Rewards and recognition

Monetary rewards based on performance, along with merchandise, trophies, and other recognition for top participants.

How We Build Your CTF

  1. 1

    Define the format and objectives

    Together, we define your audience — internal teams, professional communities, or a broader public — as well as the goals of the CTF, such as practical skills development, recruitment, community engagement, or working with specific security scenarios.
  2. 2

    Design practical challenges

    Our security researchers build challenges around real-world vulnerability classes and attack scenarios relevant to your technology stack. Difficulty levels are adapted to your audience — from beginners to experienced security professionals.
  3. 3

    Run the CTF

    We handle the platform, technical infrastructure, scoring system, and participant leaderboard — whether it’s a few-hour internal CTF for your team or a multi-week public competition for your community.
  4. 4

    Deliver the results

    After the CTF, you receive the final leaderboard, participation statistics, and participant results that can be used for skills assessment, recruitment, or evaluating the effectiveness of the event.
