We do not run challenges on bare metal or standard VMs. Instead, we utilize a micro-services architecture powered by orchestration tools (like Kubernetes or Docker Swarm).

Key takeaway: Transparent policies protect the platform from liability and foster trust with the community.

Traffic on a CTF platform is "spiky." It’s quiet for an hour, and then 500 users simultaneously launch a heavy web exploitation challenge. Duohack.com Ops

To handle this, Duohack Ops relies on Horizontal Scaling:

Since these operations rotate infrastructure frequently, traditional IP blacklisting is ineffective. Instead: We do not run challenges on bare metal or standard VMs

A critical part of Duohack.com Ops is ensuring that users remain anonymous and that the operators themselves cannot be easily traced. Standard operational practices include:

Some versions of such operations even implement “self-destruct” sequences where, upon detecting law enforcement probing, the entire server instance is wiped and deprovisioned within seconds. Traffic on a CTF platform is "spiky

The core value of Duohack.com is its collection of scripts or executables. The operational challenge is delivering these without triggering antivirus software or browser warnings.

Common tactics employed by similar operations include:

Duohack.com Ops, therefore, includes a continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline that repackages and re-signs (or leaves unsigned) binaries on a daily—or even hourly—basis.

Duohack.com Ops is the centralized operations function responsible for ensuring the Duohack platform runs reliably, securely, and efficiently. It coordinates infrastructure, deployment, monitoring, incident response, security, and continuous improvement to support product teams and business goals.
