Really cool. Tried to run it, unfortunately the code is broken at the moment- saw this error: May 11 19:42:11 fbctf hhvm[12971]: [Wed May 11 19:42:11 2016] [hphp] [12971:7f304b7ff700:6:000001] [] \nFatal error: Class undefined: AsyncMysqlConnectionPool in /var/www/fbctf/src/Db.php on line 19 Very much looking forward to trying it out.

After doing some more investigation, I'm suspecting you're running this on Ubuntu 16.04, and not 14.04. Is this correct? HHVM doesn't provide a 16.04 package yet in their dl.hhvm.com repo, so what's happening is that the provision script installs the system version of HHVM, which is 3.11. On 14.04, you'll get the correct version which is 3.13.

Thanks - it was indeed on 16.04. Thought I'd try something new while doing fbctf. Will revert to 14.04 and try again.

Anyone know why they didn't use react or flux or any of the other facebook tool in this? I'm just curious about their decsion making process. I see jquery, d3, and HHVM.

Huge props to Gulshan and Javier for launching. This is an incredibly cool platform, and the work they've been doing to introduce people to security through CTFs is hugely important: the only way we're going to build a more secure internet is by training all developers -- not just security engineers -- to understand exactly what it takes to attack an application. I often meet people who wish they knew more about secu…

I'm interested in trying this out, but I don't have a team. If I were to spin up an instance of FBCTF would I be able to just learn and play by myself?
