This is not a small iteration. This is a structural upgrade across the entire system. We pushed the project into a new stage: cleaner architecture, stronger backend systems, and a real operational workflow for teams.
What’s new
Web UI Dashboard
A completely new dashboard is now in place. Centralized control, better visibility, and a real interface for managing the system instead of relying only on CLI flows.
Exploit Management System
One of the biggest additions in this release.
A proper exploit management layer for teams:
- organize exploits
- share them easily
- manage workflows instead of scattered files
This changes how collaboration works in CookieFarm.
Custom TCP Flag Protocol
A new low-level communication protocol for sending flags to the server.
Faster, more flexible, and fully custom-built for this system.
Dynamic Flag ID Parser
A new parsing engine that adapts to different environments and formats automatically. No more rigid assumptions.
Tooling and Infrastructure Overhaul
This release also includes:
- redesigned exploit file handling
- new server installation scripts
- random string generator for exploit development
- full module refactor with go.work
- improved logging and test infrastructure
- SonarQube integration with coverage tracking
- performance and database improvements
Breaking Changes (important)
This release includes breaking changes you need to be aware of:
ckc config login→ckc loginckc config update→ckc config editCONFIG_FILEis now a string (custom paths supported)- Server connection is now required for all commands except config edit
Why this release matters
v1.3.0 is not just a feature drop. It’s a foundation shift.
We moved from a set of tools to a structured platform with proper workflows, collaboration, and scalability.
New DOCSSS
We also launched a new documentation site with detailed guides, API references, and tutorials to help teams get the most out of CookieFarm.
