Cardinal is an open-source CTF Attack-with-Defense (AWD) offline competition platform written in Go, developed by Vidar-Team. It manages challenges, teams, flags, round-based scoring, and leaderboards, and pairs with the Asteroid real-time 3D attack visualization dashboard.

Use cases

  • host an offline AWD CTF competition
  • run internal attack-with-defense practice sessions
  • auto-generate and rotate flags for check bots
  • track team scores and live leaderboards per round
  • visualize live attack activity on a 3D dashboard
  • integrate scoring events with third-party apps via webhooks

When to choose

  • you need a dedicated AWD/offline CTF scoring platform
  • you want automated round scoring, flag rotation, and checkdown detection
  • you prefer a self-hosted, Docker-deployable Go service with a customizable frontend

When to avoid

  • you need jeopardy-style CTF support or advanced formats like theory quizzes or IoT security contests (commercial version only)
  • you need a fully stable release while core architecture is being rewritten
  • you only need a simple scoreboard without AWD round mechanics
