What is unix-ctf?

unix-ctf procedurally generates capture-the-flag tasks in Linux containers to train and evaluate shell agents' Unix competence, scored by solve rate on recovering hidden flags.

  • Security mostly

    “unix-ctf is a procedural generator of capture-the-flag tasks for shell agents.”

  • Coding

    “We introduce unix-ctf, a procedural generator of capture-the-flag environments for training and evaluating Unix competence in language-model shell agents.”

Tier B

B

Established: 15 or more models scored, or curated RL directories rate it.

How much stands behind a tier: usage, who backs it, a confirmed line from its own site or paper, and a clear read on X. High with three of the four, medium with two, low otherwise.

  • built by Vmax
  • in curated RL directories (5 pts)
How we got to tier B
  1. Adoption: built by Vmax. Tier C.
  2. Not yet read on X.
  3. In curated RL directories: 5 points, a floor of B. Raised to B.
  4. Confirmed: a line from its own site or paper places it.

A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.
