Creating an Extensible CTF Lab

Hello Security-Basics,

This is my first time using the mailing list, though I've been
following the list for quite some time. The university I attend has a
very outdated forensics/computer security lab that is in dire need of
upgrading. I have seen other programs get large amounts of funding
for upgrades once a solid plan was developed and costs were outlined.
I would like to see my university upgrade their forensics lab to
include a setup for capture the flag exercises.

I'm looking for best-practice examples and ideas for establishing an
extensible CTF exercise environment. Can anyone point me to any
resources that might aid me in developing this plan, or have any
advice/considerations on the matter?

Thank you,
Nathan
