Built ZEROBOX: An offline tactical operations cockpit & 24h exam simulator for HTB & CTFs (Free & Open Source)

Hey everyone,

Tired of tracking CTFs and 24h exams across messy spreadsheets and scattered notes?

I built ZEROBOX — a fast, local-first operational cockpit for OSCP/CPTS prep and CTFs.

It’s 100% free, MIT open-source, and runs completely offline in your browser (no accounts, zero telemetry).

Quick highlights: • 920+ Preloaded Labs: Instant offline search for HTB & THM targets with tags. • Attack & Pivot Graph: Visually map compromised subnets (exports to Obsidian .canvas). • 24h Exam Cockpit: Pacing engine, bio-break timers, and 1-click Markdown reports. • Evidence Vault & Playbooks: Track hashes/creds on a kill-chain timeline + offensive field manual. • Global Quick-Bar: Propagate LHOST/RHOST automatically across all payloads.

All data stays in your local browser storage. Feedback and PRs are welcome!

Got tired of messy spreadsheets while grinding labs, so I built a free offline tracker for HTB, THM & OSCP

Hey guys, I made a free, lightweight browser tool called ZEROBOX to replace messy Excel sheets while doing CTFs and studying for OSCP.

What it does:

- Tracks your rooted boxes (HTB/THM)

- Auto-parses Nmap scans into open ports/services

- Exam countdown timer + 40-pt Active Directory tracker

- Stores loot & commands locally

No login, no telemetry, all saved strictly to your machine. Check it out if you want a cleaner workflow:

Got tired of messy notes while grinding HTB & THM, so I made a free tracker/cheatsheet (ZeroBox). Still a WIP, would love some feedback!

Hey guys,

Whenever I'm doing boxes on Hack The Box or TryHackMe, I always end up with a mess of tabs—one for notes, one for Notion, a couple for revshell generators, and random terminal cheatsheets.

To keep things in one place, I started building ZeroBox. It’s basically a local, offline dashboard to track your boxes (Recon ➔ Foothold ➔ Root), take quick markdown notes, and generate reverse shells where you just punch in your IP once and it fills out all the commands automatically.

You can try it here:

https://xXDNDXx.github.io/ctf-tracker/

Code is on GitHub:

https://github.com/xXDNDXx/ctf-tracker

Just to be clear: it’s totally free, open source, no account or login needed, and everything saves locally in your browser. (Also no spoilers/flags for active boxes, just retired/public info).

It’s still very much a work in progress and I’m pushing updates and adding new stuff pretty much every day.

I'd really appreciate it if anyone grinding labs could click around and tell me what sucks, what’s broken, or what features you'd actually want to see added next.

Thanks!
