Competence Development Through Capture the Flag & Virtual Hacker Labs
summary
Built a web-accessible lab that spins up virtual Kali in the browser and isolated vulnerable VMs, growing from five starter exercises to about 500 curated challenges; platform is open source and supports browser-based or VPN access. Qualifications draw large numbers — 800 in the qualifier, 2,000 signed up for trainings, 400 to regionals and 100 to finals — and the national team using this model wins the European Cyber Security Challenge 2022. Teaching uses short theory, demo, hands-on progression and team dynamics training.
