# Module Map
All modules are imported in `backend/src/app.module.ts`. The root module
also registers two global providers:
| Global provider | Purpose |
|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| `APP_GUARD = JwtAuthGuard` | Enforces JWT auth unless the handler is `@Public()` |
| `APP_FILTER = GlobalExceptionFilter` | Normalizes errors into the standard envelope |
# Modules
| Module | Path | Responsibility |
|------------------|-----------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `DatabaseModule` | `backend/src/database/database.module.ts` | Configures TypeORM with `better-sqlite3`, registers entities, runs migrations, enforces WAL. |
| `CommonModule` | `backend/src/common/common.module.ts` | Provides shared services (CSRF middleware class, backoff, registration rate limit, SSE hub, theme loader, etc.). |
| `SettingsModule` | `backend/src/modules/settings/settings.module.ts` | Exposes `SettingsService` (get/set/getAll over `setting` table). |
| `AuthModule` | `backend/src/modules/auth/auth.module.ts` | `AuthController` (`/api/v1/auth/*`) + `AuthService` (login/refresh/logout/register-first-admin).|
| `UsersModule` | `backend/src/modules/users/users.module.ts` | `UsersController` (`/api/v1/auth/register-first-admin`) + `UsersService` (last-admin invariant). |
| `SystemModule` | `backend/src/modules/system/system.module.ts` | `SystemController` (`/api/v1/bootstrap`, `/event/status`, SSE streams) + `SystemService`. |
| `AdminModule` | `backend/src/modules/admin/admin.module.ts` | `AdminController` (`/api/v1/admin/users*`) + `AdminService`. Gated by `AdminGuard` + `@Roles('admin')`. |
| `UploadsModule` | `backend/src/modules/uploads/uploads.module.ts` | `UploadsController` (`/api/v1/uploads/*`). Admin-only multipart. |
| `FrontendModule` | `backend/src/frontend/frontend.module.ts` | Registers `SpaFallbackMiddleware` and the uploads static helper. |
# Controllers
| Controller | Path prefix | Auth | Source |
|------------------------|-------------------------|--------------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| `AuthController` | `/api/v1/auth` | Mostly public (login, refresh, logout, csrf) | `backend/src/modules/auth/auth.controller.ts` |
| `UsersController` | `/api/v1/auth/register-first-admin` | Public (bootstrap-only) | `backend/src/modules/users/users.controller.ts` |
| `AdminController` | `/api/v1/admin` | Admin only | `backend/src/modules/admin/admin.controller.ts` |
| `SystemController` | `/api/v1` | Public | `backend/src/modules/system/system.controller.ts` |
| `UploadsController` | `/api/v1/uploads` | Admin only | `backend/src/modules/uploads/uploads.controller.ts` |
# Common services
| Service | Path | Purpose |
|----------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| `CsrfMiddleware` | `backend/src/common/middleware/csrf.middleware.ts` | Mints/validates CSRF tokens via cookie + header. |
| `JwtAuthGuard` | `backend/src/common/guards/jwt-auth.guard.ts` | Global guard; honors `@Public()` decorator. |
| `AdminGuard` | `backend/src/common/guards/admin.guard.ts` | Requires authenticated user with `role === 'admin'`. |
| `RolesGuard` | `backend/src/common/guards/roles.guard.ts` | Enforces `@Roles(...)` metadata. |
| `GlobalExceptionFilter` | `backend/src/common/filters/global-exception.filter.ts` | Converts exceptions to standard envelope. |
| `EventStatusService` | `backend/src/common/services/event-status.service.ts` | Computes `Stopped`/`Running` and `countdownMs`. |
| `LoginBackoffService` | `backend/src/common/services/login-backoff.service.ts` | Per-IP+username brute-force throttle. |
| `RegistrationRateLimitService` | `backend/src/common/services/registration-rate-limit.service.ts` | Per-IP rate limit on first-admin registration. |
| `SseHubService` | `backend/src/common/services/sse-hub.service.ts` | In-process pub/sub for SSE streams. |
| `ThemeLoaderService` | `backend/src/common/utils/theme-loader.service.ts` | Loads + validates the 10 canonical themes. |
| `ZodValidationPipe` | `backend/src/common/pipes/zod-validation.pipe.ts` | Replaces `ValidationPipe` for zod-validated DTOs. |
| `TransformInterceptor` | `backend/src/common/interceptors/transform.interceptor.ts` | Optional response transformer. |
# Decorators
| Decorator | Path | Purpose |
|-----------------|------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| `@Public()` | `backend/src/common/decorators/public.decorator.ts` | Mark a route as unauthenticated. |
| `@Roles(...)` | `backend/src/common/decorators/roles.decorator.ts` | Required role(s). |
| `@SkipCsrf()` | `backend/src/common/decorators/skip-csrf.decorator.ts` | Exempt a route from CSRF check. |
# Startup chain
`main.ts` → `AppModule` (loads `ConfigModule`, then all feature modules)
→ `DatabaseInitService.init()` (runs migrations + WAL)
→ `app.use(...)` middlewares (helmet, parsers, CSRF, static)
→ `SwaggerModule.setup(...)` (OpenAPI 3.1)
→ `SpaFallbackMiddleware` → `app.listen()`.

description: Angular routes, components, services, guards, and interceptors.

# Routes
Routes live in `frontend/src/app/app.routes.ts`:
| Path | Component | Guard | Notes |
|--------------|----------------------------------|---------------|----------------------------------------|
| `/bootstrap` | `CreateAdminComponent` | — | Rendered only when `initialized === false`. |
| `/login` | `LoginComponent` | — | Standard login form. |
| `/` | `HomeComponent` | `authGuard` | Requires auth + initialized. |
| `**` | Redirect to `/` | — | Wildcard fallback. |
# Components
All components are standalone (no NgModules). Each component imports
`FormsModule` directly and uses Angular signals for state.
| Component | Path | Purpose |
|------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| `AppComponent` | `frontend/src/app/app.component.ts` | Root; renders `<router-outlet>` and calls `BootstrapService.load()`. |
| `HomeComponent` | `frontend/src/app/features/home/home.component.ts` | Landing page shown after auth. |
| `LoginComponent` | `frontend/src/app/features/auth/login.component.ts` | Username/password form. |
| `CreateAdminComponent` | `frontend/src/app/features/bootstrap/create-admin.component.ts`| First-admin bootstrap form. |
# Services
| Service | Path | Purpose |
|---------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| `AuthService` | `frontend/src/app/core/services/auth.service.ts` | Signal-backed access token + current user. |
| `BootstrapService` | `frontend/src/app/core/services/bootstrap.service.ts` | Fetches `/api/v1/bootstrap`, applies theme tokens to CSS. |
# Guards and interceptors
| Symbol | Path | Purpose |
|---------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| `authGuard` | `frontend/src/app/core/guards/auth.guard.ts` | Redirects to `/bootstrap` when uninitialized, `/login` when not authenticated. |
| `authInterceptor` | `frontend/src/app/core/interceptors/auth.interceptor.ts` | Attaches `Authorization: Bearer <accessToken>` header. |
| `csrfInterceptor` | `frontend/src/app/core/interceptors/csrf.interceptor.ts` | Attaches `X-CSRF-Token` header on POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE. |
Both interceptors are wired in `frontend/src/main.ts` via
`provideHttpClient(withInterceptors([csrfInterceptor, authInterceptor]))`
(notably CSRF runs first so the token is attached before the auth header).
# Bootstrap flow
1. `AppComponent.ngOnInit()` → `BootstrapService.load()`.
2. `BootstrapService` calls `GET /api/v1/bootstrap` (public, with
`credentials: 'include'`).
3. The payload sets `initialized` (true iff any admin user exists),
`pageTitle`, `logo`, `welcomeMarkdown`, the active `theme`, and the
default challenge IP.
4. Theme tokens are written to CSS custom properties on
`document.documentElement` (`--color-primary`, `--font-family`,
`--radius-*`, etc.) consumed by `frontend/src/styles.css`.
5. The `authGuard` reads `BootstrapService.initialized()` and either
allows navigation or redirects to `/bootstrap`.

title: System Overview
description: High-level layout of the HIPCTF monorepo (NestJS API + Angular SPA) and how they communicate.
tags: [architecture, backend, frontend, overview]
timestamp: 2026-07-21T14:18:00Z

# Overview
HIPCTF is delivered as a Node.js npm workspace containing two packages:
| Package | Path | Stack |
|-----------|-------------|----------------------------------|
| Backend | `backend/` | NestJS 10 + TypeORM + better-sqlite3 |
| Frontend | `frontend/` | Angular 17 standalone components |
The backend also serves the built Angular SPA as static files and falls
back to `index.html` for client-side routes, so a single Node process
hosts the whole application.
# Topology
```
Browser ──HTTPS──▶ NestJS process (PORT, default 3000)
│
├── /api/v1/* ── controllers → services → TypeORM
│ │
│ ▼
│ better-sqlite3
│ (DATABASE_PATH)
│
├── /api/docs, /api/docs-json ── Swagger UI (OpenAPI 3.1)
│
├── /uploads/* ── static file server (UPLOAD_DIR)
│
└── /* ── SPA fallback (FRONTEND_DIST/index.html)
```
# Backend entrypoint flow
`backend/src/main.ts` orchestrates startup in this order:
1. Create the Nest application.
2. Read configuration via `ConfigService` (validated against
`backend/src/config/env.schema.ts`).
3. Call `DatabaseInitService.init()` so migrations + WAL PRAGMA run
before HTTP traffic is accepted.
4. Register global middleware: `helmet`, `cookieParser`, JSON / URL-encoded
parsers, then `CsrfMiddleware` (registered explicitly so it can read
the parsed body).
5. Mount `/uploads` static and Angular static (`FRONTEND_DIST`).
6. Build the OpenAPI 3.1 document via `toOpenApi31()` and expose Swagger
UI at `/api/docs` and JSON at `/api/docs-json`.
7. Install `SpaFallbackMiddleware` so non-`/api`, non-`/uploads`,
extensionless `GET` requests return `index.html`.
8. `app.listen(port)`.
# Frontend entrypoint flow
`frontend/src/main.ts` bootstraps a standalone Angular app:
1. `provideHttpClient(withInterceptors([csrfInterceptor, authInterceptor]))`
attaches the CSRF header on unsafe methods and the Bearer access
token on every request.
2. `provideRouter(APP_ROUTES, withComponentInputBinding())`.
3. `AppComponent.ngOnInit()` calls `BootstrapService.load()` which
fetches `GET /api/v1/bootstrap` and applies the returned theme tokens
to CSS custom properties on `document.documentElement`.
# Cross-cutting concepts
| Concern | Backend | Frontend |
|----------------|------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
| Authentication | `JwtAuthGuard` (global) + `AuthGuard('jwt')` strategy | `AuthService` signal + `authInterceptor` |
| Authorization | `AdminGuard` + `@Roles('admin')` decorator | `authGuard` route guard |
| CSRF | `CsrfMiddleware` (skips `/api/v1/auth/login` and `/api/v1/auth/register-first-admin`) | `csrfInterceptor` reads `csrf` cookie |
| Errors | `ApiError` → `GlobalExceptionFilter` returns `{code, message, details, path, timestamp}` | Components display `error?.error?.message` |
| Config | `envSchema` (zod) + `validateEnv` | None (consumed via bootstrap) |

description: refresh_token and setting tables — rotating refresh tokens and site configuration.
tags: [database, refresh-token, settings, config]

# Tables
## `refresh_token`
| Column | Type | Description |
|---------------|---------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `id` | TEXT PK | UUID v4. |
| `user_id` | TEXT | FK → `user.id` (indexed, but no DB-level FK cascade is configured). |
| `token_hash` | TEXT | SHA-256 of the raw refresh token (unique). |
| `issued_at` | TEXT | ISO 8601 timestamp. |
| `expires_at` | TEXT | ISO 8601 timestamp; checked on refresh. |
| `revoked_at` | TEXT | ISO 8601 timestamp or `NULL` if active. |
# Refresh token lifecycle
1. **Issue** — `AuthService.login` and `AuthService.registerFirstAdmin`
mint a new token via `crypto.randomBytes(32).toString('base64url')`
and store its SHA-256 hash with `expires_at = now + JWT_REFRESH_TTL`.
The raw token is set as an HttpOnly `rt` cookie and also returned in
the login response body.
2. **Rotate** — `AuthService.refresh` looks up the row by `token_hash`,
asserts it isn't revoked/expired, marks `revoked_at = now`, and mints
a new token in the same transaction. Each token is single-use.
3. **Logout** — `AuthService.logout` looks up by `token_hash` (from the
`rt` cookie) and sets `revoked_at`. Already-revoked or unknown tokens
are silently ignored.
## `setting`
| Column | Type | Description |
|--------|---------|-----------------------------------------------------|
| `key` | TEXT PK | Settings key (see `SETTINGS_KEYS` below). |
| `value`| TEXT | String value (defaults to empty string). |
Read/write access goes through `SettingsService`
(`backend/src/modules/settings/settings.module.ts`), which exposes
`get(key, fallback?)`, `set(key, value)`, and `getAll()`.
# Settings keys
Defined in `backend/src/config/env.schema.ts` (`SETTINGS_KEYS`) and
seeded by `SeedSystemData1700000000100`:
| Key | Default | Consumed by |
|-------------------------|------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `pageTitle` | `HIPCTF` | `SystemService.bootstrap` → `pageTitle` |
| `logo` | `""` | `SystemService.bootstrap` → `logo` |
| `welcomeMarkdown` | `"# Welcome\n\nCreate the first admin..."` | `SystemService.bootstrap` → `welcomeMarkdown` |
| `themeKey` | `classic` | `SystemService.bootstrap` → `theme` (overridden via `ThemeLoaderService`) |
| `defaultChallengeIp` | `127.0.0.1` | `SystemService.bootstrap` → `defaultChallengeIp` |
| `registrationsEnabled` | `false` | `SystemService.bootstrap` → `registrationsEnabled` |
| `eventStartUtc` | `now + 60s` (ISO) | `EventStatusService.getStatus` |
| `eventEndUtc` | `now + 7d` (ISO) | `EventStatusService.getStatus` |

| `flag` | TEXT | Submission string expected from players. |
| `protocol` | TEXT | `'nc'` (netcat-style connection) or `'web'` (browser-based). |
| `port` | INTEGER | TCP port when relevant (nullable). |
| `ip_address` | TEXT | IP the challenge listens on (defaulted from `setting.defaultChallengeIp`). |
| `created_at` | TEXT | ISO 8601 timestamp. |
## `challenge_file`
| Column | Type | Description |
|---------------------|---------|--------------------------------------|
| `id` | TEXT PK | UUID v4. |
| `challenge_id` | TEXT | FK → `challenge.id`. |
| `original_filename` | TEXT | Filename from upload. |
| `stored_path` | TEXT | Path on disk under `UPLOAD_DIR/challenges/`. |
## `solve`
| Column | Type | Description |
|------------------|---------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `id` | TEXT PK | UUID v4. |
| `challenge_id` | TEXT | FK → `challenge.id`. |
| `user_id` | TEXT | FK → `user.id`. |
| `solved_at` | TEXT | ISO 8601 timestamp the solve was recorded. |
| `points_awarded` | INTEGER | Points actually awarded (after decay). |
| `base_points` | INTEGER | Snapshot of `challenge.initial_points` at solve time. |
| `rank_bonus` | INTEGER | Extra points from rank (e.g. first-blood). |
Uniqueness is enforced by `uq_solve_challenge_user` on
`(challenge_id, user_id)` — a user can solve a given challenge only once.
# Scoring formula
`points_awarded = clamp(initial_points - decay, minimum_points, initial_points)`
where `decay = max(0, base_points - minimum_points) * solvesBefore / decay_solves`,
and additional `rank_bonus` may be added for early solves.
(The exact scoring algorithm lives in the future solve-recording service
and is consumed by `SseHubService` whenever a new solve is published.)

title: Database Schema Overview
description: SQLite (better-sqlite3) schema for HIPCTF: tables, relationships, indexes, and WAL journal mode.
tags: [database, sqlite, typeorm, schema]

# Overview
HIPCTF uses **SQLite via better-sqlite3** with TypeORM migrations. The
database is a single file (`DATABASE_PATH`, default
`/data/hipctf/db.sqlite`) running in **WAL journal mode** for better
concurrent read/write performance.
The schema is created by a single migration
(`backend/src/database/migrations/1700000000000-InitSchema.ts`) and seeded
by a second migration
(`backend/src/database/migrations/1700000000100-SeedSystemData.ts`).
# Tables
| Table | Purpose |
|-------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
| `user` | Authenticated users with role + status. |
| `setting` | Key/value site configuration. |
| `category` | Challenge categories (system + user-defined). |
| `challenge` | CTF challenges with scoring + protocol metadata. |
| `challenge_file` | Files attached to challenges. |
| `solve` | User-solved challenges (scoring ledger). |
| `refresh_token` | Rotating refresh tokens (hash + revocation). |
| `blog_post` | Markdown blog posts in draft/published states. |
# Relationships
```
user ───< solve >─── challenge
│
└─── challenge_file >── challenge ──> category
user ───< refresh_token
```
* `challenge.category_id` → `category.id` (`ON DELETE RESTRICT`).
* `challenge_file.challenge_id` → `challenge.id` (`ON DELETE RESTRICT`).
* `solve.challenge_id` → `challenge.id` (`ON DELETE RESTRICT`).
* `solve.user_id` → `user.id` (`ON DELETE RESTRICT`).
# Indexes
| Table | Index |
|------------------|----------------------------------------------------|
| `category` | `uq_category_system_key` (unique on `system_key` where NOT NULL) |
| `challenge` | `idx_challenge_category` |
| `challenge_file` | `idx_challenge_file_challenge` |
| `solve` | `uq_solve_challenge_user` (unique), `idx_solve_user`, `idx_solve_challenge` |
| `refresh_token` | `idx_refresh_token_user`, unique on `token_hash` |
| `blog_post` | `idx_blog_status_published` (`status`, `published_at`) |
# PRAGMAs
| PRAGMA | Where set | Effect |
|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------|
| `foreign_keys = ON`| Migration `InitSchema1700000000000` | Enforce FK constraints. |
| `journal_mode = WAL`| Migration + `DatabaseInitService.ensureWalMode()` on every startup | Persisted in DB header; allows concurrent readers. |
# Bootstrap behavior
On every process start, `DatabaseInitService.init()`:
1. Initializes the TypeORM `DataSource` (idempotent).
2. Calls `ensureWalMode()` — idempotent; if WAL is already set it only logs.
3. Runs pending migrations if any (or if the `category` table is missing).
4. Logs the seed row counts (categories, settings) via `verifySeed()`.

title: User Table
description: The `user` table — accounts, roles, and statuses.
tags: [database, user, auth]
timestamp: 2026-07-21T14:18:00Z
---
# Schema
| Column | Type | Description |
|----------------|----------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `id` | TEXT PK | UUID v4 generated on creation. |
| `username` | TEXT | Unique login name. |
| `password_hash`| TEXT | Argon2id hash (memory/time/parallelism from env config). |
| `role` | TEXT | `'admin'` or `'player'`. Default `'player'`. |
| `status` | TEXT | `'enabled'` or `'disabled'`. Default `'enabled'`. |
| `created_at` | TEXT | ISO 8601 timestamp (`strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%fZ','now')`). |
# Constraints
- Unique on `username`.
- `role` is enforced application-side (see `AdminService.updateUserRole`).
- `status` is checked by `AuthService.login` and `AuthService.refresh`
— disabled users cannot log in or refresh.
# Invariants
- The application enforces the **last-admin invariant**: at least one
enabled user with `role = 'admin'` must always exist. Attempts to
demote or delete the last admin are rejected by
`UsersService.enforceLastAdminInvariant` (used by
`AdminService.updateUserRole` and `AdminService.deleteUser`).
# First-admin bootstrap
When the `user` table is empty of admins, `POST /api/v1/auth/register-first-admin`
is the only endpoint that can create one. After that, the endpoint
returns `409 SYSTEM_INITIALIZED`.

# HIPCTF Documentation
HIPCTF is a single-tenant CTF (Capture-The-Flag) platform built as a Node.js
monorepo containing a NestJS REST API and an Angular single-page application.
It supports user registration, authentication, challenge management, a live
scoreboard, an event window with a public countdown, theming, and admin
controls.
The docs below are organized by purpose so agents can pull just the slice
they need.
