Welcome to the echoCTF.RED documentation!¶

echoCTF is a pioneer computer security framework, developed by Echothrust Solutions, for developing, running, and maintaining Cybersecurity related competitions (such as CTF and Cyber Range).

Our main goals for echoCTF include:

Completeness - Provide a complete set of tools and applications to develop, deploy and maintain competitions
Modularity - Each component has a unique and clear role
Expandability - echoCTF’s components are designed to permit expansion

The following pages include instructions for installing, configuring and running your own self-hosted echoCTF based events.
