mybot

mybot is a Slack bot I wrote for a capture the flag (CTF).

I initially forked https://github.com/rapidloop/mybot.

Given that the bot has a bunch of security bugs, I would recommend only running it in some throwaway cloud server.

setup

• get a Slack API token

• setup a mysql database:

  create table greeted (user varchar(50) not null primary key);
  create table weather (city varchar(50) not null primary key, title varchar(255), text varchar(255), temp varchar(255));
  

• install latex (to convert math expressions to pdf) and imagemagik (to convert pdf to png)

• install a www server (to serve static files)

• cp config.json.sample config.json and fill it out.
