Analytics Dashboard

Understand your community’s CTF engagement with real-time analytics. Track difficulty metrics, identify top performers, and monitor activity trends.

Guild-Wide Analytics (`/ctf-analytics`)

Admin-only command that displays a comprehensive 3-tab dashboard:

Tab 1: Overview

High-level metrics summarizing guild-wide CTF activity:

Total CTFs — challenges created
Open CTFs — active (non-archived) challenges
Total Solves — successful flags submitted
Total Attempts — sum of all attempts (failed + successful)
Unique Solvers — members who solved at least one CTF
Avg Attempts per CTF — average member attempts per challenge
Avg Attempts per Solve — accuracy indicator (lower = easier)

Example:

Total CTFs: 42
Open CTFs: 38
Total Solves: 287
Total Attempts: 512
Unique Solvers: 28
Avg Attempts per CTF: 12.2
Avg Attempts per Solve: 1.8 (high quality challenges!)

Tab 2: Hardest CTFs

Identifies the top 5 most difficult challenges:

Challenge Name — with difficulty badge
Total Attempted — members who tried it
Total Solved — members who succeeded
Avg Attempts — average tries before solving
Solve Rate % — success percentage

Use Cases:

Detect too-hard challenges: <25% solve rate might indicate frustration
Balance difficulty: Adjust or provide hints for struggling members
Celebrate wins: Reward solvers of extremely hard challenges

Example:

🥇 RSA Factorization (Insane) — 8 attempted, 1 solved, 14.2 avg attempts, 12.5% solve rate
🥈 Assembly Reversing (Hard) — 12 attempted, 4 solved, 8.4 avg attempts, 33% solve rate
🥉 SQLi Advanced (Hard) — 15 attempted, 10 solved, 3.2 avg attempts, 67% solve rate

Tab 3: Top Solvers

Leaderboard of most active members:

Rank — 🥇🥈🥉 medals for top 3, numbers for rest
Username — @mention of the solver
Score — points (if points mode enabled) or solve count
Attempts — total attempts across all CTFs

Example (points mode):

🥇 @Alice — 2150 pts (18 solved, 41 attempts)
🥈 @Bob — 1850 pts (15 solved, 38 attempts)
🥉 @Charlie — 1250 pts (12 solved, 45 attempts)

Example (solve-count mode):

🥇 @Alice — 18 solved, 41 attempts
🥈 @Bob — 15 solved, 38 attempts
🥉 @Charlie — 12 solved, 45 attempts

Player Stats (`/ctf-stats [member]`)

Public command to view detailed stats for any player (defaults to yourself):

Shows a comprehensive profile with:

User Avatar — member’s Discord profile picture
Solves — CTFs completed
Attempts — total flag submissions
Accuracy % — (solves / attempts) × 100
First Bloods — challenges solved first
Points — (if points mode enabled)
Difficulty Breakdown — solves by difficulty level
First Solve — timestamp when they solved their first CTF
Last Solve — timestamp of most recent solve

Example Output:

@Alice's CTF Stats

Solves: 18 / 28 attempted
Attempts: 41 total
Accuracy: 64.3%
First Bloods: 3
Points: 2150 pts

Difficulty Breakdown:
  Easy: 6 (600 pts)
  Medium: 7 (1000 pts)
  Hard: 4 (550 pts)
  Insane: 1 (0 pts, no solve)

First Solve: 2026-03-15 14:32 UTC
Last Solve: 2026-04-28 20:15 UTC

Real-Time Updates

Both dashboards update instantly as members solve challenges:

New solves appear on leaderboards immediately
Hardest CTFs rankings recalculate dynamically
Player stats refresh without page reload
No delay — changes are live within seconds

Excluding Banned Members

If you ban a member with /ctf-ban, they’re automatically excluded from all analytics:

Don’t appear on leaderboards
Don’t count toward “Unique Solvers”
Don’t appear in “Top Solvers” rankings
Unbanning restores them with full history intact

Tips & Use Cases

For Admins

Monthly Highlights

Check “Top Solvers” tab monthly to celebrate high performers in your community channel.

Difficulty Tuning

If “Hardest CTFs” shows <15% solve rate, the challenge might be too hard. Consider adding a hint or adjusting difficulty.

Activity Trending

Monitor “Unique Solvers” month-over-month to gauge if CTF engagement is growing or declining.

Quality Checks

“Avg Attempts per Solve” > 5 might indicate unclear challenge descriptions. Review guidance text.

For Members

Track Progress

Run /ctf-stats regularly to watch your accuracy improve over time.

Find Weak Areas

Check your Difficulty Breakdown — focus on difficulty levels where you have few solves.

Friendly Competition

Compare /ctf-stats @friend vs your own stats. It’s motivating and builds community!

Reading the Metrics

Avg Attempts Per Solve

Interpretation:

1.0–1.5 — Very easy, most members solve first try
1.5–3.0 — Balanced difficulty, reasonable challenge
3.0–7.0 — Hard, requires thought or tools
7.0+ — Extremely hard, expert-only
