# The iCTF Framework

This is the framework that the UC Santa Barbara Seclab uses to host the iCTF, and that can be used to create your own CTFs at http://ictf.cs.ucsb.edu/framework. The framework contains several components.

The framework creates several VMs: one for the organizers and one for every team. The components that run on each are described below.
