[CTF challenge] Glory to Estovakia.

CR2019 CTF challenge: notabot

---

Challenge description: You, as any good estovakian citizen, know that there is a [Estovakia's Citizen website]. You just received a leaked news that the vice-president is a corrupt person and is trying to create a Coup d'etat on the country's president.

Since every message on the website goes directly to the president's cabinet, you decided it was a good idea trying to alert the president through there. However, the vice-president is fast, and is deleting every message that is older than 15 minutes.

I bet that if you could place, like, 500 messages as the same user at the same time, the president would notice something strange. Warn him of what's going on.

Running the challenge

1. Open .env and set HOST to the host of your website, API_PORT to an unused port and WEB_PORT to the port that people will be connecting to.
2. Open client/Environment.js and change the API_HOST to what you put at HOST and what you put at API_PORT.
3. Run docker-compose up --build.
