amigo

amigo is a Slack bot I wrote to coordinate a capture the flag (CTF) event.

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

setup

• get a Slack API token

• setup a mysql database:

  create table teams (id int not null auto_increment primary key, name varchar(255) not null);
  create table users (user varchar(50) primary key, team int);
  create table logs (id int not null auto_increment primary key, user varchar(50), event varchar(255), ts datetime default now());
  
  you will have to manually populate the users table.
  

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