From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Alternative to docker-tcp-switchboard, but for tcp and virtual machines? (github.com)

docker-tcp-switchboard is pretty good, but it has two problems for me:

Doesn't support non-ssh connections
Containers, not virtual machines

I am setting up a simple CTF for my college's cybersecurity club, and I want each competitor to be isolated to their own virtual machine. Normally I'd use containers, but they don't really work for this, because it's a container escape ctf...

My idea is to deploy linuxserver/webtop, as the entry point for the CTF, (with the insecure option enabled, if you know what I mean), but but it only supports one user at a time, if multiple users attempt to connect, they all see the same X session.

I don't have too much time, so I don't want to write a custom solution. If worst comes to worst, then I will just put a virtual machine on each of the desktops in the shared lab.

Any ideas?
